Inu Kaiba: If this chapter is somewhat… Um… Short of enjoyment, and sort of not thought through, or mostly boring… it's because I'm stuck. Because I want to take up space, I will tell you that my friend is sending me 4 manga books, and that yesterday I spent 35 dollars on posters of anime characters, which took two hours to hang them all up. Hopefully informing you of this will get me to the word limit sooner. Not 2,000 words like the rest. Why? Because at this point I don't have an idea for two of my stories that will last me too 2,000 words.

Inspiring songs are coming back again at the end of this chapter. Kylie rockz!

And what a short lived time that was.

In those few minutes of forgetting her mom, Sango became engrossed in Miroku, who must have been one of the hottest guys this side of earth. But then he reached out and groped her and she slapped him on the face so hard, there's most likely be a big purple bruise there, and hopefully a shiner in the eye from where she punched him.

"YOU!" Sango shrieked stepping away from him. "You just want a night on the town, and then to take some innocent girl to bed with you. Well, I'm not in on it. Get the fuck away from me, my mother and my home. I'll solve this mystery without some fucker like you."

"But Sango."

"To think… I thought I could trust you. But all men are the same. They're all looking for the same thing. Sex."

"But Sango!"

"Forget it. You broke my trust. Try earning it back again. But right now I don't want to see you. I want to be alone with my friend and my mother and not some fucker like you."

With that said and done, she shoved Miroku out and slammed the drawer on his face.

"Just remember you can't stay there without a guardian!"

"I have my uncle!" Sango yelled back. "Not that it's any of your business."

"If you don't have a guardian, you're too young to stay by yourself. I'll be back tomorrow when you're in a better mood to see if this 'uncle' of yours really does exist."

"Not hoping to see you then." Sango yelled through the door, pissed off even more that he was making up another excuse to come back, just so he could get her trust back like she said he'd have to earn. But she never wanted to see him again, he was hindering her more than helping.

"Kagome…" Sango said. "Can you do me a favor?" she added blinking back tears.

"Yes I can; what kind of favor?" Kagome replied.

"Can… can you hug me while I cry?" Sango sobbed out tears running down her face in a steady stream. "And… and… Can … Can I stay at your house until my mom's funeral?"

"Of course." Kagome said wrapping her bare uncovered arms around her best friend, who was dressed in long sleeves and jeans, while she was wearing a t-shirt and skirt.

Sango just lay in Kagome's arms crying her eyes out, crying and crying, just crying all her problems and fears out, crying to get it out of her system, crying because her life was a mess, crying, crying, crying.

When Sango's waterfall of tears slowed, and her body was only heaving with sobs, Kagome helped her to her feet and led her to a chair. "Stay here." She said.

Then she pulled some plastic gloves on and moved Sango's mother's body up to her bedroom, putting the blankets over her head so that the body would be safe and preserved warm for the funeral. Then she descended the stairs pulling each glove off with a rubbery 'shlop'.

Kagome carefully deposited the used gloves in the trash bin and walked over to Sango. "I'm going to call my mom and ask her if its okay that you stay at our home until the funeral. Alright?"

Sango nodded slowly. She felt like her friend was treating her like a child, but she understood that after crying like that to her friend, her friend wasn't ruining her dignity, but simply trying not to make her cry again.

"I doubt she'll say no after what you've been through. Your mother and brother dead in the same 24 hours? It's a miracle you can go on the way you are. Now I want you to go up to your room and gather up everything you'll need while at my house. Toothbrush, toothpaste, clothes, toiletries, backpack and textbooks and save any projects you're working on to floppies. But I want you to stay home ok? I'll bring home your homework, I don't think you'll be able to handle school."

I nodded and slowly headed upstairs, pausing at the top of the stairs and holding the banister.

"What the hell has happened to my life?" I said to myself staring out the picture window in the downstairs living room. "What does god have against me?"

She could almost swear she heard a voice saying, "Absolutely nothing…"

Sango raced around her room grabbing everything, books, papers, pens… She even had her computer on and was transferring her half complete or completed projects to floppies.

She ran to the background and knocked over a bottle of dish soap while reaching for some Clearasil and her makeup bag. "God dammit!" she shrieked.

"Kagome… Did I just hear someone yelling in the background….?"

"Yeah. That's Sango running around finding her every day necessities in ten minutes. See, she's probably lost them all along with her head…"

Sango was swearing bloody murder in every language she could. "MY god, why me, why dish soap, why does it have to be so hard to clean up…"

Sango slammed the dish soap bottle into where the tub was but missed and squirted it all over the walls.

"Fucking hell!" She shrieked moving as fast as she could to do a quick clean up.

"Come on Sango!" Kagome yelled. "I have school tomorrow, and mom's ordered pizza so we gotta get home."

Sango grabbed her bags and ran down the store leaving half a wall covered in dish soap. "Ah well, I can clean it later." She said to herself.

When she rushed out the door and saw Kagome standing still she ran up to her. "Kagome… What's wrong?"

"Hey bitch…" InuYasha said. He was looking for revenge and he was going to get some. He still had the slap mark on his cheek and it was bright red.

"Don't slap those that are higher than you. Or in this case… Don't touch people until you know what you're dealing with."

"Mm…" he continued, walking over and grabbing Kagome;s chin. "What wopuld make a pretty girl like you squirm?"

"Forced to work at one of those whore bars?"

"Being jailed?"

"Being raped?"

"Being killed?"

"Using her friend?"

"Wait the rape one sounds good." InuYasha said. "Grab her and let's go."

"Let her go!" Sango screamed trying to hit InuYasha with her bag.

"Leave us alone unless you wish to suffer the same fate as her. I'll let you go if you walk away right now."

Then someone grabbed her from behind, and shoved her in the ground, shoving her face into the ground until she couldn't breathe. She fell unconscious, though she distinctly thought she heard InuYasha's voice and the pounding of steps. Very faint, but she knew she heard it before all went black.
