Kagome took Shippo in her arms and ran after Sango. She had not run far before she found Sango and her brother Kohaku.
"What's happening Mama?" Shippo questioned "isn't that Sango's brother"
Kagome chose not to answer his questions and focused on the battle in front of her.
Sango's hiraikotsu was discarded and cracked behind Kohaku. She pulled out her sword and stood ready to fight the last living member of her family. Kohaku's dull eyes were focused on Sango, the voice of Naraku playing in his mind " Kill her or i will make you remember"
For a few moments the siblings studied their opponent but then the deadly dance began. Each had had the same training
so it was only a matter of who messed up first.
Kagome and Shippo watched in silence.
Sango attacked. . .and defended. . .then attacked. . .and defended again. The silver metal singing
in the silence. Sango seemed to have the upper hand. She did a quick turn and slashed Kohaku
across the thigh.
"Sango"
Naraku had let Kohaku out of his spell and for a moment too long Sango stopped and looked
into her brother's eyes whispering "kohaku"
"SANGO NO!" Kagome shouted. Sango turned her head to find the location of Kagome's voice. Naraku had
again taken ahold of Kohaku. He lifted the sword and with a graceful swing severed
Sango's head from her body.
Thump-Thump
