(A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the long time parting… yeah, I was grounded. pout, but its alright. I'm back and I'm here to continue with Kagome's Diary! So… I left off where they find Kirara dead and… yeah, Ill continue from that part… enjoy chapter 29!)
What sad couple of days. The once cheery, yet tough Sango has been taken away and exchanged for a sorrowful and empty Sango. She skips the meals, she doesn't really get enough sleep, and when she does she wakes up at the crack of dawn.
"It has been three days since Kirara's death, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered one night, as she laid next to Inuyasha. "I'm worried about her."
Inuyasha gave a small grunt and turned to face Kagome. He caressed her cheek and sighed deeply. Then, he turned to lay on his back.
"She will get over it." Inuyasha muttered, but it sounded as though he wasn't convinced.
"Jeez, Inuyasha!" Kagome hissed angrily "It's not easy to suffer a loss. Especially one as this." Kagome sighed heavily and looked up at the wooden ceiling.
Its hard… to feel that way… to go through it. After her brother's death, Sango had only person she can entirely confide in…. and that was Kirara. OH poor Kirara…
Kagome walked out of the cabin the following morning and walked towards Sango who stood near the pond bank.
Kagome sat down next to Sango and glanced at Sango's expression which read of pure blankness. She didn't have that parental expression that she always carried when talking to Kagome. She an expression that was full of sadness… and sorrow.
"Sango…" Kagome began… not knowing what to say at a time like this.
'I'm sorry for your loss?', god that seems very stupid. Uh… 'She went to a better--' no! You have to be real here, I cant keep on comforting her with these sad words, because it would only make her worse.
"Sango--"
"She was my only true friend, Kagome. I mean…" Sango turned her head towards Kagome and gave a weak smile "You are a good friend Kagome, but… I've known Kirara for 10 years… I loved her." she gave a stiff sob and continued to look out at the early morning.
"Sango… you can't keep on mourning like this. You have to be happy that…" Kagome sighed "That Kirara is in a better place now…" Sango turned to look at Kagome as if registering her words, which gave Kagome strength to continue, ".. and she wouldn't want you to be all sad about this. She would want you to be happy and to continue".
Kagome placed a hand on Sango's shoulders.
"She was a very smart cat. She was a very smart demon… she was a very smart friend. She would have never wanted you to be like this because of her death. On the contrary, she would want you to live on and be stronger than ever."
Sango looked down at her pale arms and gave a few small sobs before erupting in tears.
"Oh Kagome… I miss her so much!" she wailed into Kagome's shoulder as they embraced.
This will be a new beginning to a new Sango…
.Later in the Day.
"What did you do to Sango?" Inuyasha asked as they were walking towards a new village. Inuyasha glanced back at Sango who was talking merrily to Miroku. "She looks as though Kirara's death never happened."
Kagome looked back at Sango and gave a very bright grin. She looked at Inuyasha and gave a quick kiss and continued smiling.
'Let's just say…" she looked at the ground. "Kirara possessed me… and she told her what Sango needed to hear."
Kagome gave one more glance back at Sango before they continued walking with a stronger crew than ever.
Thank you… Kirara. Don't worry, we'll avenge your death… and we'll find out who did this to you.
