Chapter four: Ignorance

'So they're ignoring me, ne? I'll just IGNORE THEM BACK!'

Sango was thinking this furiously while she traveled the well-known way to the hot springs. They had been there since sundown; Kagome had returned. No one had been talking to her, and it wasn't fun.

Bath supplies in hand, she got to the hot springs. She shed her clothes and sank into the bath. Surprisingly, Kagome had taken a bath in her time and didn't go with Sango this time.

In 15 minutes, she got out and dressed herself. 'I might as well take a walk. I've been wanting to take a walk for some time.' She thought.

She dropped by her hut and left the bath supplies in a little corner by the hut. She walked off and stared into the sky, which herald a billion stars.

"Wow..." she muttered. "There are so many stars. I wonder... how many shards there are. How much longer we'll stay together."

Then, she heard a rustle in the bushes.

(A/N: I really, really want to leave you guys in suspense here, but I won't cause I'm nice. Lol.)

Naraku stepped out. It was horrible. You saw the pretty, good stars and then you saw this being, this evil being who liked to make people suffer for his enjoyment.

"You..." she managed to croak out, with a bit of menace in her voice. "What do you want?!"

"Sango... what do you mean, what do I want?" He chuckled. "I want to know your decision."

"I hate you! I would NEVER turn my back on my friends!" She shouted. "I'll never kill them!!"

"Well then... I guess you'll have to suffer then..." Her mother, father, and Kohaku came out. They had their demon exterminating outfits on, their weapons at the ready.

"Mother... Father... Kohaku... please. Don't listen to him! He's our sworn enemy! He is the one who KILLED you!" she pleaded with them, but she knew it wouldn't work.

"They won't listen to you, Sango. They are under my control, and nothing can stop them but my command." His voice rang throughout the forest and trees.

They sliced through her skin, making deep scars in her back and face. She began to feel lightheaded after awhile because of the loss of blood. It hurt her so much. She couldn't even bock with hiraikotsu. Her family... her own kin was attacking her. She couldn't kill them, yet she couldn't kill her dear friends either.

When she was in a semi-conscious state, Naraku came up behind her and kneeled down.

"Sango. Why do you fight? Why do you resist me? Don't you think it's time you join me?" he asked in a soft voice. "I have your beloved monk... join him..." He conjured an illusion of Miroku standing next to him, beckoning her.

"Come, Sango..." he made the illusion chide her. He was slowly swaying her to join him.

"Houshi-sama... why??" She gently asked.

"Sango... come..." The illusionary monk persuaded her, and then Naraku inserted the jewel into her back. She no longer felt pain or emotion, just emptiness.

"Sango... go kill the others. Go now."

"Hai, Master Naraku..." Sango replied, and headed toward the hut.

A/N: OMG this story is almost over. It was so short!! Lol. I think the next is going to be the last. It's almost 9, so I gotta upload this so it can be on by... tomorrow? Lol. Ja mata, onegai R&R!
