Chapter 6

"Goodness, that was a long day," Kagome said while yawning. They where all egsausted, they ended up playing the whole day in the lake. Kagome even got InuYasha to join them, what luck! She blushed as she thought of how close she was to telling him, but she couldn't hold it against Shippo, it was just bad luck. Her heart begain to rave, she was so close to him, she would hold that precious moment forever, in the depth of her heart. She replayed the moment over and over. It never got old, it never would.

"Yes, but it was very fun," Sango stated, "Oh, hey Kagome?"

"Yes Sango?" she asked while packing her swimsuits back in her big yellow backpack.

"I noticed a hot spring just in walking distant from our camp." she lookd around to make sure there wasn't any perverts in the area, she then lowered her voice so only Kagome could hear her and whispered. "Do you wanna go with me?"

Kagome giggled then whispered, "sure."

Then both silently laughed, they hd become such good friends.

...Later at the hot springs...

"This is so nice!" Kagome remarked while signaling for Sango who was on patrol for lowlife perverts that needed to be taught a lesson. A painful lesson.

"Yes, it really is," she said while taking of her usual kimono. They had told Miroku and InuYasha that they where going to take a walk and they wouldn't be back for about an hour.

As Sango sat Kagome once again noticed her scar on her back. Kagome felt her heart break at the thought of Kohaku, Kagome's pain couldn't have been half as horrible as Sango's pain.

FLASHBACK

"Naraku, you bastard!" Sango screamed, "Take away Kohaku's memory!"

Naraku laughed, "Oh, my dearest Sango, isn't this what you wanted? To have your sweet little rother's memory return, and to go live together in happiness?"

Sango started to feel her blood pulse. This wasn't how she wanted it. "No! Your killing him!"

Naraku then laughed again, "Sango, you know in your heart that this would have happened the moment I gave back his memories." He snickered. Kohaku picked up his dagger. Sango gasped, he turned the blade towards himself. He was going to kill himself.

"Koharu! Stop!" Sango screamed as she got up and ran to him. "Don't do it!"

Kohaku smiled at his sister with tears in his eyes. Sango's heart began to shatter. "Sango... my sister, I'm sorry..." He looked at the dagger in his right hand. "I couldn't save father, or any of our friends..." he gripped the dagger and looked at her. "...but I can save you..."

"Stop!" Sango pleaded, tears now streaming down her face. She dropped to the ground feet from Kohaku. "This can't be happening... It can be..."

Naraku took advantage of the moment. He turned one of his arms into a blade and he stabbed Kohaku in his back. Sango screeched in horror as Kohaku fell to the ground motionless.

Sango crawled over to her little brothers body, "Kohaku? No, Kohaku! You have to be alive! You have to be OK!" There was no movement from Kohaku's body, he didn't open his eyes. "Please! Open your eyes! Let me know your still with me!"

Sango's face and eyes where red from crying and her face was full of scratches, her eyes hurt to blink and where sore. She wrapped her arms around him and brought his body to her chest. She cried her eyes out as she screamed his name and how much she neded him. Her brothers body was bloody from the puncher in his back, but Sango didn't care. All that did was her brothers survival.

"Koharu, I need you here! With me! I can't live alone! I need you in my life!" Sango loked onto his face hopping to see is eyes flicker open or his sheepish smile come across his face... But it didn't. The only thing on his face was blood and Sango's tears. It was silent all besides Naraku's laughing and Sango's tears.

"...S-San... go..." Sango's eyes snapped open. She stared into Koharu's half open eyes and his sheepish smile.

"Kohaku!" she cried, shedding even more tears, "I thought I lost you!" she hugged him tightly. She had no idea that that would be the last time she ever held her sweet little brother in her arms again.

"Sango..." Kohaku looked her straight in the eyes, his smile was gone and he was serious. She looked him confused. "I want you to promise me you'll do me one last thing..."

"Last? Kohaku you're not going anywhere." she stated doing her best to sound calm and confident in her words. "Your going to stay here with me. Stay with me forever."

"Sango... I'm sorry but I can't..."

"Why." Sango was upset, she couldn't believe what he was saying. "Why can't you be with me?" her voice cracked as she spat out her last words. She was trying not to burst out crying.

"Becau-"

"Because he still belongs to me." Sango twirled around to face Naraku and his disgusting face. He smiled evilly as she gave him her glare. "That and the fact to save your life and you're friends' lives ia to kill Kohaku yourself."

Sango was speechless, 'kill my own brother! The only thing I have left! How could he even suggest such a thing!'

...Because it's Naraku... The monster that started this whole thing...

"You... you bastard..." Sango gritted through her teeth, "You will pay." Sango snatched the dagger from Kohaku and ran for Naraku. "You will pay for what you've done! For killing our father and our friends! For controlling Kohaku like he's your little puppet!"

Naraku didn't move from his position, all he did was laugh. "Sango, you've made your last mistake."

"We'll see about tha-" Sango felt a blade go through her back and come out her chest. Pain exploded from her, she turned to see her brother Kohaku.

'This is... just like last...'

Sango fell to the ground breathless, she looked from Naraku to Kohaku and all over again. She stopped and looked at Kohaku, her eyes pleading.

"Koha...ku... w-why?" was all she managed to mumble, only enough for him to hear her. Her eyes widened when she noticed his eyes. They where glazed over...

'Kohaku... he's...' She turned to face Naraku and sat up, "He's under your spell!"

"My Sango, you have caught on before you die. Very impressive." Naraku snickered.

"I will not die," Sango slowly stood trying to keep her balance. "You on the other hand..." she grabbed the dagger that she had dropped on the bloody ground. "...will die!"

"Kill me, and I'll kill your precious Kohaku."

Sango stopped dead in her tracks. "Damn it..." she mumbled.

"Drop the dagger."

Sango hesitated, 'it's for Kohaku...' she dropped her only way to he survival.

"S-S-Sango..." Sango quickly turned around to see Kohaku. His bleeding was getting much worse, and it wouldn't stop.

"K-Kohaku!" Sango couldn't speak right. "How?"

Kohaku's eyes looked opon his sister, and then he saw her wound, he was shocked. "Sango... I didn't... I mean- I'm..." He stuttered as he looked at trembling his hands. His eyes where glistening as he turned his gaze back to Sango. "This is just like... before..."

"Kohaku!" Sango couldn't take the pain of him blaming himself. "It's alright..."

She wobbled over to him and almost reached him. Before she could reach his outstretched hand, he collapsed.

"Kohaku?" Sango screamed.

"S-Sango..." he smiled at her trying to hide the pain. "kill me."

Sango's whole world shattered before her very eyes, "What...?"

"Sango... please kill me..."

She fell to her knees before him, "H-h-how c-could you even s-say something–"

"Sango, I'm begging you. Please."

"...I will not kill my own little broth-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Sango gasped. His face was serious, he was staring through her very soul. "Do it now."

"B-but..."

He smiled at her, "even if I do go with you, I'll die from my injuries-"

"That's alright!" she was pleading as tears flowed down her face. "At least you would have more time! You would be able to spend your final moments with me!"

He stared at her as he lifted his hand and wiped off her tears, "the longer you have something... the harder it is to let it go..."

She closed her eyes, then nodded. She knew this was true. After all, she had to go through that for years of yearning for him.

"Sango... I love you..." He smiled as her eyes met his.

"I love you too," she whispered, raising the dagger, "Kohaku... more than anything..." she dropped the dagger.

"KOHAKU!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Hey Sango?" asked Kagome, Sango looked at her smiling.

"Yes?"

"Uh... do you have... um," Kagome wasn't sure how to ask this, "do... do you have feelings for Miroku?"

As if on cue Sango's face turned bright red, 'I take that as a yes.' thought Kagome giggling.

"Um... w-well I-you see- uh..." Sango stuttered looking at the water. She sighed, "I guess I don't have to lie to you Kagome." she lowered her voice and looked her straight in the eye. "Yes, I'm in love with Miroku..."

Kagome squealed, "I knew it!" she said excitedly.

"Shhhhh!" Sango said blushing even more, she tried to think of something to change the subject.

"Well, Kagome."

"Yeah?"

"What about InuYasha?" she asked grinning. Kagome's cheeks wore red and Sango laughed at her.

"S-S-S-SANGO!"

"What? I'm just asking!" she put her hands up defensively, then she lowered her voice and grinned, "do you?"

"..."

"Well?" she asked trying to suppress her laughter.

"I..."

"Hmmm? What was that?" Sango teased, "I couldn't hear you?"

"OK! I love InuYasha!" she ducked her head into the water, her cheeks where scarlet.

"I knew it!" Sango laughed at Kagome. This made Kagome angry.

"Oh yeah?" she challenged, "well it's obvious you like Miroku!"

"So? It's better than liking a half demon!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is t- mph!"

Kagome dunked Sango laughing. Sango's head returned to the surface, she was gasping for air.

"Not funny Kagome!" she said splashing Kagome, they both laughed.

LATER

If anyone saw Kagme and Sango, they probably would've thought they where drunk or on crack. They had a splashing fight then both had laughing attacks. It had been one of the funnest times of their lives. Kagome had eventually given up and told Sango (Sango must've been very persuasive...) what had happened at the lake. Sango had so much fun hearing about Kagome's home and when she found out that she fell for Inuyasha. All and all it had been a wonderful time, and without any perverts creeping around the place.

"Oh no!" Kagome looked over to Sango.

"What is it?" Kagome asked.

"We've been gone for way more than an hour."

"Uh-oh"

"I agree with you."

"Let's get back to the others." said Kagome smiling to Sango.

"Alright!" They put on their clothes and started the walk back to camp. It had been a wonderful day.
