"Kohaku! You're here! You have your memory back!" Sango cried with joy as she flung her arms around him. Kohaku blushed.
"Well yes, Sesshomaru saved me from some demons and brought me here to see you." Kohaku smiled and Sango watched him continue to walk off. She jumped to her feet and chased him. Miroku watched her with a puzzled look. She chased him with all of her strength. The others followed trailing behind.
"Sango wait!" Miroku called. A long distance came between them. "Geez I'm getting too old for this." He sighed as Kagome, InuYasha, Hotaru and Kohaku caught up.
"Sesshomaru! Wait!" Sango cried as he stopped and turned. She seemed to be one of the only people that he actually obeyed. She stood in front of him. "Thank you…thank you for saving my life again." She smiled at him.
He smiled in return. "Take care." He turned.
"Wait! You…you left InuYasha, you left the fight you were having with him. You didn't kill him, even when you could have. Thank you. No one else in my group sees it…but you're a good person. You have a heart of gold, not sorrow. The others assume that you don't care about anyone else. I know you have deep feelings. Take care of Rin and the others." Sango smiled as she took a few paces backwards expecting him to leave.
"Sango…" Sesshomaru sighed. Miroku and the others hid behind trees and bushes to watch the scene. Miroku hid behind a tree, peering around confused. Sesshomaru smiled and slowly walked towards her. "You have a wonderful soul. You changed me Sango, I'm a better person because of you." He stood directly in front of her. Sango blushed slightly and looked down to the ground. InuYasha stared blankly, completely lost. Sesshomaru placed his hand under her chin. She gazed up at him with her eyes shimmering. He pulled her face towards his and kissed her. She didn't hesitate to move. Miroku knit his eyebrows. Kagome gasped, she didn't expect this at all. Hotaru and Kohaku also gazed in shock. Sesshomaru pulled himself away. "If there wasn't already someone out there who loved you so much and wanted to marry you; I would ask you to marry me. Be careful and enjoy your life." Sesshomaru turned and headed to his home. Sango remained stunned. 'Does Miroku want to marry me?' she wondered.
"Will I ever see you again?" She called out to him.
"It's a small world Sango." He disappeared into the mist. "Your friends are waiting for you."
A smile spread across her face as she made a small nod and turned. She was practically skipping with joy then stopped. She saw Miroku and the others standing in a perfect line staring at her in silence. All of them with long faces. Sango's eyes shimmered, had she done something wrong?
"Let's go." InuYasha suggested as they headed back to the hut. Miroku didn't even make eye contact with her. He just turned away without saying a word. Kagome sighed and followed. A tear trickled down Sango's cheek. She felt alone and unwanted. Unloved and hated. She felt as though, she was being abandoned. She slowly trailed behind; staring at her feet. Kohaku stood by his sister's side and Hotaru hooked onto him. They finally arrived at the hut where Kaede, Shippo and Kirara were waiting. Miroku walked straight through the hut to one of the back rooms. Hotaru went to follow but Kagome's hand placed on her shoulder stopped her. She turned to witness Kagome shaking her head slowly. Hotaru sighed and slumped on the floor. Kohaku joined her side. Sango looked around. No one was paying attention to her, she felt so down. She strolled past Kagome and entered the back room.
"Sango..." Kagome lifted her hand but stopped.
