Watashi no homu o ashite.

(I love my home.)

The group had never seen Sango like this before. A few cries raised up from a few of the group but she silenced them with a glare. "He's killed my blood. He is my blood. This is my family he's killed and ever though Kage is my family as well, I can't let him hurt any others," she told them, walking into the hallway. "Miroku, go down to the gym with Kouga and try to help out. Inu Yasha and Kagome, you guys try to call for help and then rejoin with Miroku and Kouga in the gym. No one is to be alone at any time other than me," she ordered.

"Sango, why don't you and I find your cousin, and Kouga joins Inu Yasha and Kagome," Miroku suggested.

"No," she shot back.

"Sango, I'm going with you. There's something I need to resolve with Kage. I don't care, I'll follow you and risk my life, but I need to talk to him," Kagome spoke up.

"Well, if you're going then I'm going," Inu Yasha announced.

"If they get to go, then I do too," Kouga told the group.

"And I'm going as well," Miroku said quietly.

"No, Kagome is the only one who can come. She is the only one here with a history with Kage and I forgot that she might need to resolve something. The three of you go help the others. There should only be one more casualty tonight and that's Kage," Sango replied after a few moments to think about the situation. The guys protested, but there wasn't a thing they could do when Sango gave them her glare.

"Dammit, those two are going to get themselves killed," Inu Yasha growled while pacing the principal's office. Miroku was trying to get a hold of the police and failing. Kouga sat and looked at the door, just waiting for someone to open it.

"Oh thank you!" Miroku suddenly said. The other two looked at him and he mouthed to them the good news.

"What the?" Kouga asked aloud, picking something up that had caught his eye. It was a piece of paper. Unfolding it, he read the contents.

"No."

"What's wrong?" Miroku asked, hanging up the phone.

"Give me that," Inu Yasha replied, snatching the piece of paper out of Kouga's hands. He quickly skimmed its contents and growled. "We have to save the girls. They're in danger."

"Umm, if you hadn't noticed, we're all in danger," Miroku told his friend.

"Read," Inu Yasha commanded, shoving the paper into Miroku's hands.

Kage,

All is going according to plan.

We will lure the two girls away

from the group and let you do

as you please with them at the

spot. It has changed though, it

is now the cafeteria instead of

outside.

"So, Kagome, what do you want to talk to Kage about?" Sango asked as she and her companion stalked the halls.

"Its a few things, like why did he kill Riley, why does he want to kill us, and, my stepmother," Kagome replied.

"Are you going to tell me about your stepmother?" Sango asked.

"She tried to steal my soul so I slipped poison into her food before I left," Kagome replied.

Just then, a loud crash came from the cafeteria. "Let's go," Sango told Kagome, breaking into a run.

A young man sat on one of the tables, staring at the moonlight that filtered in through the windows.

"Hello, sit down; take a load off," he told them.

"Cut the act Kage," Sango called to him.

"Sango, you're words hurt," he mocked an arrow hitting him in the heart.

"Kage, I need to speak with you. There are a few things I need to know," Kagome called out from next to Sango.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Why did you kill those people in the gym?"

"Why? Because, it's people like that in the gym that have made my life a living hell," he looked at her in the eyes, rage burning in them. "You don't know what it's like to be picked on and called names. To be the but of every joke. To do nothing at all and still get thrown in the trash can. If I was quiet I deserved to be punished. If I was loud I needed to be punished. If I took a piss I needed to be punched. For every breath I was tortured. I was the one that they all decided should die. So, they made it so I was ready to pull the trigger. But, I didn't. You see, there was one person who had been kind to me. The class fag, that idiot Riley. But I killed him too. Because he started to become a nuisance. I was only doing what I needed to do to survive."

Sango dropped the handgun and it hit the floor with a clang. "Kage," she whispered, though it rang through the room like a yell. This was all he needed. Kage rushed and dove at the gun and picked it up, holding it at Sango. He smirked and looked at Kagome.

"Don't move or she gets it."

"But she's your cousin," Kagome replied.

"Yes, there is that," he admitted. "But then again, so was Naraku."

"You knew you let them sneak up behind you, didn't you?" Sango asked. Kage laughed and calmly said, "Yes, I did. I let them, and you know why? Because I've always hated that goody two shoes Naraku. Always trying to steal you from me."

"Huh?" Both teen girls asked in unison.

"You honestly didn't know?" Kage asked, wonder on his face. Both girls told him that they didn't. "Sango, you're twin has been in love with you for years. He covets everything he has that was once yours. He has a shrine to you in his closet. He is obsessed with you," Kage told them, his voice serious. Kagome saw her friend's face turn white.

"No, it's not true. Naraku isn't like that," she told herself.

"Haven't you ever wondered why he is always there when you need him? Why whenever you get stranded anywhere, he suddenly comes to your rescue. Why, whenever you leave the bathroom, he's just outside the door, waiting?" Kage asked her. Sango nodded and a small tear slipped down the side of her face.

"Wait, why do you know all of that?" Kagome asked.

"I'm a guy. For years, our family was setting it up so that Sango and I were to be married, to keep it in the family and everything. And this past year, when it was made known that we were, Naraku threatened me. Told me to stay away from Sango because she was his. And he told me everything," Kage explained. "And so, I did use this to my advantage tonight to get rid of him, because of his plans for later."

"What plans?" Kagome asked.

"Think back to the past winter with your stepmother Kagome, what did she do to you?" Kage asked.

"No," Kagome gasped, mouth wide open in horror. "Sango," she took a small step closer to her friend.

"Stop right there, remember?" Kage replied, shaking his gun a little. Kagome froze on the spot. And then, out of nowhere, a man rushed into the room and tackled Kage. Three others rushed in and one shouted, "Police!"

Kagome rushed over to Sango and held her against her shoulder, trying to comfort her friend. "Sango! Kagome!" Three voices yelled almost together. Kagome looked up and saw Miroku, Inu Yasha, and Kouga running towards them. Someone put a blanket around Kagome's shoulders. She looked up and saw a woman officer smiling down at her who told and she wasn't sure if she was talking to Sango, herself, or both of them, that everything would be fine now.

"Sango, are we going to keep this a secret?" Kagome whispered in her friend's ear.

"What a secret?" Sango asked.

"Tonight, what's happened in here with Kage."

"For now."

A/N: Okay, here's where the last chapter ends. Yes, the last chapter. Sounds really weird, huh? The next chapter will be the epilogue and you get to see what's happened to them a few months after this experience. I have no idea what I'm going to do next. Maybe work on Humans and finish it. I'm thinking of deleting Take the Chance because I have no idea what to do for it. It's just sitting there, collecting dust, like Humans. If you want to adopt it, let me know.

Wow, a lot of stuff was resolved in this chapter. It's hard to believe that I came up with this. It seems like this was just a story I was reading, not creating. But, the Night of Terror is over and I hope they aren't too traumatized. Oh, and if you have reviewed for me at all in the past two stories for this series, make sure you read all of the next chapter. I have something special for you.

I own nothing. Well, except the plot and Kage.
