Note: I do not own Inuyasha. Welcome to chapter 2, sorry it isn't more exciting the next one will be promise! RnR

Kagura the wind sorceress looked over the moron Inuyasha and his mortal friends. "Fools" she said to herself. There they were just walking around doing ordinary human activities without the slightest hint of what she has in store for them. 'If battles have been around sense the dawn of time then this approach has also been around just as long, if not longer' she thought to herself. Always start with the weakest link. Once it cracks the others fall right along with it.

"Watch out Sango." Kagura stated chuckling to herself. "Naraku may have a soft spot for you, but I will show you no mercy." With her closing statement she let the wind take her into the night sky.

Dawn broke over the tress of the forest but Sango had already been training hard for hours. Old routines flowed through her body as she continued kicking and punching at an invisible opponent. These mornings were hard, especially when she knew the day particularly today would be even harder. Sango tried her best to train everyday to keep herself strong. Any sign of showing weakness was not permitted in the order of Demon Hunters. Though she never took it serious at the time, she now understood.

"I can't let myself be weak" Sango kept repeating to herself. 'I won't let anything get in my, nothing.' Soon memories started flowing back from times when her family especially her father were still alive. He had always said you must be strong to protect the ones you love. She could see him as crisp as day talking about the honor of being a hunter.

This image made her stop dead in her tracks. 'What is wrong with me?' she asked quietly to herself. "I'm sorry Father I wasn't able to protect you." Saying those words aloud didn't help. 'I need to sit down.' She thought quickly. Picking a spot she quietly leaned against the rough bark and slid down. Tears began to sting her eyes and holding them back only made her want to scream. She suddenly wished Ki lala was here with her. It was so easy to express herself to her pet; sometimes just having her around could calm her down. 'I can't let the past get to me.' Sango started to think. 'I can't let emotions run away with me. Especially the feelings about Miroku. Should I just let him know how I feel?' Standing up from her stop Sango realized the answer to her own question. 'He will never know'.

Noises above made Sango look up. Hundreds of birds were flying towards the outskirts of the forest. "It looks like something is going on." She said as her body started running deeper into the forest. As if mimicking the birds many other animals started racing out of the area. This encouraged her to pick up speed, dodging branches and the occasional rock. Soon Sango saw mass amounts of blood made her stop in instantly. Stepping into the clearing she saw a giant ape like creature with much blood and slobber oozing from its mouth and down its chest.
