Authors Note: Kinda short, but I'm getting there RR
The next morning the gang woke up; there was still a horrible silence since Kohaku's arrival. Sadly, it could be helped.
"Kohaku…" Sango said running her hands through his hair gently, the small boy looked up at her and forced a smile, following his sisters gaze. "Summer Lilies." Kohaku's smile looked broken, it was so long ago but the memory seemed so new.
"Kohaku!" Sango cried as the boomerang separated him from in front of the bear youkai, as she stood protectively in front of him. "Annue…" Kohaku whispered as Kirara jumped in front of Sango protectvily, Kirara growled as the bear held there gazes for a minute before turning on all fours and leaving.
"Are you okay Kohaku?" Sango said as she looked at her younger brother. "Yea…" Kohaku said as Sango looked at Kohaku's cut knee, kneeling on one knee. Sango lifted up her armor, removing a small shell opening it up and rubbing the ointment on Kohaku's leg. Kohaku winced as Sango put the ointment on, capping it, and putting it back up under her shoulder. "Thank you." Kohaku muttered as Sango stood smiling.
"Annue wait! Wait here!" Sango looked at him questioningly as Kohaku raised off. Sango played with Kirara as she waited for Kohaku, Kohaku hurrying back breathless, Sango standing as she looked at Kohaku worriedly. "Are you okay Kohaku?" "Here!" Kohaku said handing her a bouquet of Summer lilies. "For me?" Sango said looking shocked as Kohaku handed her the flowers, a huge smile on his face as he rubbed the back of his head.

Kohaku looked at the flowers, the others had stopped to stare at the flowers, neither Sango or Kohaku were talking, just standing there…Just remembering.
The look on her face that day…Kohaku frowned looking at the flowers again, kneeling on one knee, touching them gently with his hand.
'I want to see that face again.' Kohaku thought as he stared at the flowers.

Sango skipped along happily, Hirakotsu hung over her back, her hair down, now being her youkata and not her usual exterminator outfit. Turning around, smiling her hair moved to the side along with her, closing her eyes dipping slightly, her smile never changing off her face as she skipped ahead.
"Annue! Wait!" Kohaku cried as he tried to keep up with his sister's skipping pace.
Kohaku handed Sango another thing of flowers, her eyes softening as she pulled her brother into a tight embrace falling to her knees, tears ran down her eyes as she hugged him.
"I wanted to see you smile Annue, not cry." Kohaku said softly as he looked at Sango's face, Sango smiled a few tears running down her eyes.
"Kohaku…don't leave me anymore. I don't want too…I don't want to be sad anymore." Sango whispered, Kohaku's hurt, it hurt bad.
His heart was being torn.
Inuyasha looked at them, Kagome by his side, standing on his tiptoes,
"Do you think it'll be okay for Kohaku-kun to come with us?"
"We have no choice Kagome." Kagome was shocked by Inuyasha's words they were earnest, yet so simple.
"Kohaku is Sango's younger brother…It's her job to protect him, that's all they have now…each other. At least she does her job, some one else would have just left Naraku, and scarcely cared…"
Inuyasha watched them intensely, 'Maybe…Maybe I'm being naïve, Or maybe I'm seeing a bit of Kohaku in myself…Me…and Sesshomaru.'
"Hurry up!" Inuyasha barked turning around, as Sango nodded for once as they continued walking once again. Inuyasha slowed up a bit Kohaku nearing his side as Inuyasha looked straight ahead.
"Your lucky Kohaku."
Kohaku looked up at Inuyasha, his gaze was still straight ahead, never altering from his destination as Kohaku smiled slightly, looking forward just as the hanyou his voice calm, mimicking Inuyasha perfectly.
"I know I am."
Inuyasha faced ahead, he didn't move or anything else, but if Kohaku had looked up, Or maybe Sango and the others had turned around, or maybe if Kirara was perched on his shoulder, one of them would have seen the small smile Inuyasha had on his face.
