Hey, everyone. Here is my second Inuyasha fan fic. I thought my last one was kind of wimpy, so I decided to write another one. Please don't flame me thought. I hate flames.

Disclaimer: Do you think I would be writing fan fiction if I owned anything from Inuyasha? (I'll let you decided.)

Summary: Ever since Sango got back from Kuranosuke's palace, she hasn't been acting like herself. She becomes ill and starts attacking her friends. Can Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippou save the beloved demon slayer or will she have to leave in order to protect them from herself?

Return to the Lord's Castle

It was another peaceful day in Feudal Japan. The Inuyasha gang was doing just fine. They had just defeated another powerful demon and retrieved three more Shikon Jewel shards. They were also having a pleasant walk and there wasn't a cloud in site. Everything was perfect for the group. Well, almost everything.

Suddenly, there was a growling sound. Everyone turned around and, unsurprisingly, saw Sango holding her stomach. Inuyasha puffed and started nagging on her. "If you're so damn hungry, why don't you eat something?" Sango just glared at him, making him recoil in fear. Sure, Sango was scary at times. But if looks could kill, he would have died a thousand times. Kagome just sighed at the dog demon.

"Give her a break, Inuyasha. The only reason why she's hungry is because we ran short on food."

"Well my stomach isn't snarling like a bear," he added.

"That's because Sango gave us her share of her food," Shippou answered. "Sango helps us with a lot of stuff. Where would we be without her?"

"Probably on the other side of the country with half the Shikon Jewel." Inuyasha tried to whisper it as quietly as he could, but Kagome heard him loud and clear."

"Inuyasha."

"WHAT?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome and saw her fiery eyes. He knew what was coming.

"SIT, BOY!" Inuyasha fell face first into the ground, wishing that he hadn't said his thought out loud. He knew it was true that Sango had been a big help to them. He just didn't want to admit it. He just got up, brushed the dirt of his kimono, and crossed his arms and grumbled while they walked. "Don't worry, Sango. We'll find some more food for you."

"That's ok," the demon slayer said. "I don't mind." All she cared about now was finding Kohaku. It had been ages since she had seen him. Back then, he didn't remember anything about her or the demon slayers. Naraku had taken all his memories away. When she thought that her brother would live in happiness, Kohaku was taken away again by Kagura. Sango swore that she would save her little brother or die trying.

Sango was brought out of her trance when she felt something brush against her butt. She immediately turned around and slapped the only person that could have possibly done it.

"Did you have to hit so hard?" Miroku said as he rubbed the red handprint on his face. "It's not my fault. It's this cursed hand. Naraku must have combined a groping curse with the wind tunnel."

"Please, the only thing that is cursed is your brain," Sango said. Miroku just had to laugh. Soon, Sango gave him a gentle smile. They had become so close on their long journey. They both loved each other, even if some people were too dense to see it. But Sango's smile soon faded. "Someone is coming this way."

"Yes, I sense it too. Humans," Miroku said.

"And lots of them," Inuyasha announced. Soon, about twenty men with spears, armor, and swords came running towards them. They all stopped in front of Sango and bowed before her.

"Can we help you?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, we are looking for Sango the demon slayer," the general said. Sango stepped forward. "Lady Sango, it's been too long. We have been sent by Lord Kuranosuke so that he may have an audience with you."

"Again?" Sango said. Miroku gave her a jealous look but she didn't notice. "I thought I told him I had to do something before I saw him again."

"It is very important, Lady Sango," the general continued. "He must see you immediately…alone." Everyone gasped. Why did he want to see her alone? Miroku thought. But Kagome stepped forward this time.

"Sango, why don't you go see him? It has been awhile and his castle isn't too far from here. We can wait for you in the next village." Sango thought about it. She could use a break and she definitely could use the food.

"Alright, I'll go. Kirara." Kirara jumped on Sango's shoulder, but the general disapproved.

"Our lord doesn't want any demons in his castle. He's afraid that the servants will be frightened away." Kirara gave Sango a pouting look, but Sango grabbed her and hugged her.

"Sorry, Kirara. You'll just have to stay with Kagome and the others." She set her demon companion down and looked at her friends. "I'll be back tomorrow, ok?"

"Sure, take as much time as you want," Miroku said sarcastically. Sango just blew it off and started walking off with the soldiers. Kagome waved and yelled after her.

"Enjoy your break, Sango. Let's go to the village." As Sango marched ahead, she looked back as her friends walked away. She hoped that they would be alright. As she said this, a pair of red eyes watched her from inside a cave.

"You should worry about yourself, demon slayer."
