"Kagome!" InuYasha bellowed. "Why did you never tell me about this Shikon no trans or whatever it's called!" InuYasha grabbed her by the shoulders.
"I…I didn't think it was necessary yet." Kagome laughed. Sango smiled, it was good to see everyone so happy. She got on well with Hotaru and knew so much about her already.
Sango remained sat on the window ledge scrubbing her boomerang clean. She looked up; she could see Kaede, Kagome, InuYasha, Shippo, Kirara, Hotaru and Myouga yet Miroku was missing. She carried her boomerang into her room. She placed it carefully propped up against the wall. She looked out of the window; everything felt almost perfect however the image of her brother appeared occasionally. She was aware now that Naraku was after her, however she was ready for him.
"Sango." Miroku called. She turned in shock to see he was sat in the chair beside her bed. She walked over to him and sat on her bed.
"Why are you keeping alone? Aren't you happy?" Sango leaned towards him.
Miroku gazed into her eyes again like earlier. Sango's face gained a tint of pink. She turned away. Miroku leaned, grabbed her head gently and turned it back slowly 'til their eyes met again. "You look so much like my sister. Did you know how beautiful you are?" Sango stood and looked away. She agreed with the comment of being a sister look alike. But…what was going on, since when was he ever like this. Suddenly Sango felt that way she did when she was younger. 'Love is just sadness waiting to happen' she reminded herself. "Sango, why do you look away whenever I speak to you? I am allowed to compliment you on your beauty aren't I?" Miroku went to stand behind her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and began to slide them forwards to appear more like a hug. Sango didn't feel right, she couldn't bear it.
"No more!" She cried as she ran out of the room, through to the exit of the hut. She pushed past Kagome and InuYasha. Hotaru went to question her but Sango ran out and slammed the door too fast.
"Sango…" Kagome walked to the door in pity. She turned to see Miroku exit the room she just aborted. "What did you do?" Kagome wondered. She walked up to him. He looked her in the eyes.
"I…I didn't do anything wrong, she just cried no more and dashed off." Miroku sighed as he walked towards the door. Kagome felt a lie somewhere in amongst his excuse, 'he must have done something' she thought hard, 'it wasn't at all like Sango to do something like this'.
Sango stopped; she fell to her knees in tears in the centre of the woods. "Why did I run? Why was I scared? What was I scared of?" Sango couldn't cope, it was all too much. "What am I going to do?" She whispered to herself. She had too much on her mind. Her head hurt and her injuries weren't completely healed. She couldn't switch off the waterworks though; tears just kept on coming, flooding her beauty.
"Sango…you've returned." An evil voice called out again. However this time, Naraku showed himself.
Sango's head popped up. She watched Kohaku pop out from behind with his weapon. Sango went to grab her boomerang - which wasn't there. "Shit." She whispered to herself and shuffled away best she could. She staggered to her feet yet Kohaku's chain wrapped around her legs pulling her back down. She wanted to cry out for help and she didn't want to. She was unsure of what to do.
"Sango…stop delaying the inevitable, just face it you're going to work for me one day." Naraku laughed as he brought out another Shikon shard.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that!" Kagome retorted as she fired her arrow into his back.
Sango struggled to look up but the smile was clearly visible. "Kagome." She turned to see Kohaku holding her legs tied together. She kicked him off and broke free. Removed her sword from her sheath and prepared herself for a full on battle. "Naraku!" She charged forwards and struck it into him.
He turned in anger. "You bitch! You'll come to regret that!" He bellowed as he shot Sango ten metres away. She opened her eyes to see the Shikon no trans travelling towards Naraku.
"No!" Sango stood again chasing after it. Maybe so there was a spell protecting it but Naraku would overcome that easily. Naraku turned to her and sniggered. Sango stopped in shock.
"Now Sango…you're mine!" He shot out a blast that Sango had never laid eyes on before. It headed towards her – this is what would enable Naraku to control her. What was she to do?
"Kazaana!" Miroku shouted as he pushed her out of the way and sucked it into his wind channel. He turned to Sango. "Are you hurt?"
She shook her head and stood. Naraku tried to grab the Shikon no trans. Finally he managed it. "NO!" Sango cried as she charged forwards. Suddenly it glowed like the statue did and placed itself on the statue. The portal was open. 'This is bad. This is very bad.' Sango worried as she charged towards the portal. Naraku pushed her aside reaching it first. Sango wasn't the type to give up. She raced forwards again as suddenly there was a massive explosion.
"Sango!" The others cried. InuYasha ran forwards.
"Naraku's still here!" InuYasha marched forwards with Kagome and Miroku following. Naraku was half missing and blood was spread everywhere. Miroku glanced around to discover Sango lying on the ground.
"Sango!" Miroku cried as he came to her side. She opened her eyes.
"There's a barrier. He…he was repelled, it won't allow full demons to pass." Sango smiled with relief. Miroku turned to Naraku. Naraku was struggling to remain alive; the power of that barrier was incredible. Suddenly he vanished once again.
Kagome looked upon the portal. She crouched down to Sango who sat up. "The jewel and portal united. It isn't a one way trip any more is it?" Kagome had her fingers crossed.
Sango smiled and wiped the blood from her mouth. "Anyone can go through as much as they like so long as they aren't a full demon. So even InuYasha can go through." Kagome clapped with joy.
