Chapter Three: I'll Find You

"What's wrong with Sango?" I asked.

"She is sick." my grandmother answered me.

"So, I can go over when she is better."

"No."

"But why not?"

"I don't want you to go over there ever again. You are not to see that Sango girl anymore."

"But why?"

"She and her family are different from us."

"Why?"

"Enough. They are different and I am just doing what's best for you. Trust me hunny you will thank me when you are older."

Tears filled my eyes. I had no more to say to my grandmother, so I ran out of the house into the forest where I know Sota has a hidden garden. The garden was filled with herbs, flowers, and other plants I picked a variety of colored flower and ran to Sango's house. I knocked on her window, when she finally opened the window it was obvious she was ill. Her skin was more pale then normal and her cheeks were flushed, but I still thought she looked beautiful.

I handed her the flowers, "Here I thought they would help you feel better."

"Thanks." she coughed.

"My gramma doesn't want us to play with each other anymore. What should we do?"

Sango paused for a moment pondering, "Next Friday meet me at the garden."

"How?"

"Tell her you are going to the park."

"Oh! Okay. I better go before she comes looking for me. Bye."

I ran back over to my grandparents house seeing my parents were there to take me home. I opened the side door slowly praying it didn't make a sound as I opened it. Tip-toeing up the stairs I paused at the door to the kitchen hearing the voices of my mother and grandmother fighting.

"Why did you tell her not to talk to Sango?" my mother questioned.

"They are poor. You never know what they would do for money. What if they stole from her? I'm just trying to protect her."

" Protect her from what? She has nothing that would be worth stealing! For heavens sake she is just a little girl!"

"Well you never know what they could do. Besides Sango doesn't seem to be helping her condition."

"Sango is Kagome's only friend she is making it better!"

"You need to face the facts your daughter is insane! You have to do something more about it! Those doctors aren't helping her. She needs to be sent to live at a rehab center or something! So if your not going to do that at least keep her away from that girl. I suggest you listen to me. I'm doing what's best for her. You don't want your daughter to go insane do you?"

"No, but I don't see what Sango has to do with anything. But whatever I'm done arguing about it. We are leaving as soon as Kagome gets back."

My mother stormed out of the kitchen and my grandmother ran after her. I was shocked that my mother had given into my grandmother so easily. I sighed heavily and went to get my parents so I could go home.

Next Friday arrived and I was there for hardly twenty minutes before I was on my way to meet Sango. When I got there Sota was standing next to Sango pointing at some herbs.

"Whatcha ya doin'?" I asked.

"I was showing Sango the new herbs I planted. Well I will let you two catch up. Bye Kagome. And Sango, mom wants you back by dark." Sota said before walking away.

"Bye!" we screamed in unison.

We walked deeper into until we found our favorite spot. It was a small clearing in the heart of the forest. Tiny purple, white and blue flower sprang up randomly through out the soft green grass. A large stump in the middle of the clearing proved a good seat for us. Near the edge of a clearing was a beautiful stream. We knelt on the ground next to the stump and Sango pulled two markers out of her pocket and drew a large black and purple pentagram. There we practiced our tarot cards and spells. We only learned the basics from Sota, but he felt it was enough until we got older.

Soon it was dark and we headed back for home vowing to return early tomorrow morning. A quick bite to eat and a shower was all I needed before turning in. It had been a long day and I was looking forward to seeing Sango again. I had decided long ago not to tell me parents about it even though currently they didn't really have a religion I knew my mother would be upset by it. Especially since the rest of my family are Christians.

I woke up extra early so I had time to get out before my grandfather woke up. I grabbed a few muffins that my grandmother had baked for me and ran over to Sango's house. Her window was open and had no screen on it, so I jumped on the fence and climbed into the window. When I got into her room she was still sleeping so, I poked until she woke.

"How did you get in here?" she asked.

"I climbed through your window. And I brought some breakfast." I said tossing her a muffin.

We sat on Sango's bed eating muffins and chatting until Sota came in. Sota led us into the forest to our clearing. We learned new spells and tried memorizing the Ten Commandments of Mother Earth. Sango was the first to get them exactly right.

"Number one thou shalt love and honor the Earth for it blesses thy life and governs thy survival. Number two thou shalt keep each day sacred to the Earth and celebrate the turning of the season's. Number three thou shalt not hold thyself above other living things nor drive them to extinction. Number four thou shalt give thanks for thy food, to the creatures and plants that nourish thee. Number five thou shalt educate thy offspring for multitudes of people are a blessing unto Earth when we live in harmony. Number six thou shalt not kill, nor waste Earth's riches upon weapons of war. Number seven thou shalt not pursue profit at the Earth's expense, but strive to restore its damaged majesty. Number eight thou shalt not hide from thyself or others the consequences of thy actions upon the Earth. Number nine thou shalt not steal from future generations by impoverishing or poisoning the Earth. Number ten thou shalt consume material goods in moderation so all may share the Earth's bounty." Sango recited perfectly.

Around lunch time we took a break and walked down to a small store. Sota bought us soda's, cookies, subs, and chips. We all went to the park and ate while Sota told us stories. Shortly after lunch Sota had to leave for work. We stayed at the park, deciding we could practice Wicca later. We ran around playing on the swings and pretending to be our favorite anime characters. The hours seemed to fly by and dark was swiftly approaching, so slowly we walk back towards home.

We stopped a few house away from my grandparents house, "I won't be able to meet you my parents are picking me up real early." I explained.

Sango hugged me, "It's okay. I'll see you next weekend?"

"Yup!"

I ran back and went immediately to bed. I just wished I could have been with Sango a little longer. Why didn't my mother stand up to my grandmother? It was annoying sneaking off every time. Eventually someone would begin to suspect something. We can't hide forever.

It had been a long week, I had to go to therapy everyday due to continuing feelings that something bad was going to happen. They had unsuccessfully tried to convince me nothing was going to happen. When we got to my grandparents house I didn't wait I ran into the forest more eager to see Sango then ever. She was there, but she wasn't smiling like I had expected.

"What's wrong Sango?" I questioned her.

"We are moving Kagome. We leave on Sunday." Sango answered with tears in her eyes.

I wiped away her tears, "Don't worry we'll spend as much time with each other as possible. And I'm sure we'll see each other again soon."

The next day we met again in the forest as usual. We played nonstop well past the time we were supposed to leave. We didn't want this to be the last time we were going to be together. Of course when we finally surrendered and went home we were both punished. I could hear Sango's father yelling at her from my bedroom window and she had it much worse then what my grandmother said to me.

My grandfather just said "Leave her the fuck alone Gloria. She is kid. Kids will be kids go easy on her."

If only she had listened to him for once. Of course early the next morning we snuck out and met in the usual place. Sango now sported a few bruises sending a pang of guilt through me knowing that I was the one that had convinced her to stay later with me. We embraced for what seemed like minutes before letting go.

"I'll miss you Kagome." Sango said before kissing me softly.

I was surprised, but I managed to whisper, "I'll miss you too."

We talked about where she was moving for awhile until they heard the deep menacing voice of Naraku calling for Sango.

"Well goodbye Kagome."

"Bye Sango."

For awhile I just stood there stupidly before I sprinted after her. Sango hearing me run after stopped at the edge of the forest and looked back at me waving.

I stopped and waved and just as Sango disappeared I screamed, "I'll find you!"
