A/N: Alright. No long note. Just because I am so nice, I will let you get back to the story!

Chapter 3

Kagome ran up behind her and gasped. "InuYasha! Miroku!" she yelled. Sango didn't hear a word as she sank down to the ground tears leaking from her eyes.

'They found me and Kaedae paid for it!' Sango covered her eyes and buried her head in her lap.

Kagome got down and hugged her. "What the fuck?" InuYasha exclaimed as he stared, open-mouthed at the blood covered kitchen. Miroku couldn't even say anything as he looked over InuYasha's shoulder.

"Miroku! Help InuYasha take Sango over to my house. I will be down after I get some clothes from her room." Kagome passed Sango over to the men as she ran up the stairs.

Sango was sitting on the floor mumbling to herself as she recalled the night her parents and Kohaku died.

FLASHBACK

Sango escaped from the chains and ran through the corridors. She couldn't get Kohaku's screams out of her head as she ran.

She stumbled into another room and saw her parents being tortured in the same manner as Kohaku. She backed into the hall and continued to run.

She ran straight into Naraku. "Now, Sango dear. You know it is impolite to disobey your elders!" He gripped her arms tighter. "We will just have to punish you even more!"

Sango screamed. "No! Let me go! You can't take me! I won't let you!" she screamed at him. "I'll kill you for this! Aghhh!"

She was pushed into a room with a large torture device in the middle of the room. "No!" she struggled against Naraku.

She was pushed closer to the machine. She still struggled, as she was strapped to the board.

END FLASHBACK

"No!" she yelled as she struggled against the arms holding her. She barely heard the words being said, but somehow they got through the haze in her mind.

"Sango! It's okay Sango! Shh, I've got you. You are not in danger! Relax!" a man's voice soothed her.

"Mi . . . ro . . . ku?" she spat out between sobs. She looked up into his face as he relaxed some.

"It's okay Sango. You are safe. We are at Kagome's house." He squeezed her slightly.

"What? No! I need to get away! I must go. No one is safe around me, must go." Sango started mumbling.

Miroku held Sango tight as she thrashed around. They were all sitting in Kagome's room. InuYasha and Kagome went to get Sango some pillows and something to drink.

He was really worried about her. She was mumbling about not being safe and getting away. InuYasha and Kagome came back with bottles of water and some bedding for Kagome, as she insisted that Sango sleep in her bed.

"How is she?" Kagome rushed over to stroke Sango's head.

"She is mumbling something about not being safe and having to get away from something." Miroku replied.

Kagome paled when he said that. She pulled Sango down onto the bed and covered her with the blankets.

"What can we do? I mean, did you see her kitchen?" InuYasha grumbled. "It looked like I butchered that Kouga fellow for saying that you were his woman again!"

Miroku rolled his eyes. "We will just have to wait for Sango to wake up."

Kagome looked up at the men standing by the door. "If you guys want to sleep down in the living room tonight, you are more than welcome to. Just in case you feel guilty about leaving her all alone like this." She had an amused glint in her eyes, but it faded as soon as it came.

"Feh." InuYasha spat. Miroku didn't miss the smile that swept over his features though.

Sango woke feeling like her head was going to explode. She groaned and turned over . . . and fell out of bed with a big THUMP.

"Sango! Sango are you okay?" Kagome called to her.

Sango opened her eyes to a bright pink room and to Kagome's face hovering right over hers. "Where am I? What happened?"

Kagome looked down. "After we went to the mall yesterday, we brought you back to your house and . . . "

Sango gasped and quickly said, "No! Kaedae! Did you find her? Was she hurt?"

Kagome shook her head. "The kitchen was covered in blood and there was no one in the house. I am so sorry Sango."

Sango felt the tears burning behind her eyes. "It's all my fault," she said quietly.

Kagome looked shocked. "No! Never! It was NOT your fault Sango. It was probably a sick psycho playing a dirty trick!"

Sango shook her head. "No, I should not have escaped. He should have killed me when he had the chance. Then Kaedae would still be alive." The tears flowed over and she sobbed into Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome soothed her and helped her back into the bed. She called InuYasha and Miroku up to her room.

"Is everything okay?" Miroku asked. "Did she sleep well?"

Kagome shook her head. "She says that she has something to tell us."

Sango lifted her head from Kagome's shoulder. "You all need to forget that you ever knew me. It is dangerous to be around me. It got . . ." she paused and drew a shaky breath. "It got Kaedae killed. You all saw the blood in my kitchen. It was all because of me."

InuYasha growled. "And give us one good reason to let you get yourself killed?"

Sango sighed. "Because then you will look like this!" She lifted a necklace off of her head.

The group gasped.

A/N: Another cliffy! So sorry.

In answer to animefreak808: Yes Sango does live with Kaedae. Kaedae is like her maid or nanny. Since she is not yet 18, she is 17, she could not live on her own. I hope that explains it better!
