"Kohaku!" everyone gasped.
K-Kohaku...
"S-Sango? W-where am I? I feel so dizzy…" asked Kohaku confusingly.
"Oh Kohaku! I was so worried! I thought I told you to never go out by yourself! You disobeyed me, but then again I should've remembered to pick you up…I'm so sorry Kohaku, will you forgive me?" said Sango sobbing.
Thank heavens you're all right! I'm so relieved…"Don't be sorry because tonight was a great experience for me, plus I'm alright now…" said Kohaku quickly.
"Don't be silly! What experience? You're not supposed to have that experience yet!"
You weren't ready yet…"Uh-huh so anyway, why didn't you come pick me up? I waited for hours!" asked Kohaku.
"Umm uh, I, uh…had something to do…" replied Sango blushing.
"Uh-huh…so then, why did you and Mirokufind me together?" asked Kohaku suspiciously.
"Uh, umm…" started Sango.
Should I tell him the truth?"Uh Kohaku, sorry to interrupt but you just awoke and you're still bruised so don't you think you should keep things low?" cut in Miroku. " You should take a nap…"
Nice one Miroku!"Yeah that's a good idea. Come on Kohaku!" said Sango as she led Kohaku into his bedroom.
In Kagome's Bedroom
"…Uh, excuse me…Inuyasha could I talk to Kagome for a minute?" asked Miroku as he caught them kissing.
"Uh…" started Inuyasha. "We've got company Kagome…"
"Huh? Oh! Uh…Miroku! Please don't tell Sango!" begged Kagome.
"Okay, if you'll answer all of my questions." Replied Miroku.
"Deal. Inuyasha, could we have some privacy please?" asked Kagome.
"Uh…sure." Replied Inuyasha as he stood up and walked out of the room.
"So…what's up Miroku?" asked Kagome.
"…What's Sango's problem with Kohaku? I mean, he's already thirteen years old and Sango still treats him like he's only five…when we couldn't find him, she was overly hysterical and just now, she told Kohaku, whom is at the right age, that he shouldn't have experience by himself yet. So what's her problem?" asked Miroku sternly.
"…nothing, nothing at all…" lied Kagome.
"Come on Kagome, I know you're lying. There has to be a reason why Sango is so overly protective!" said Miroku as he began to raise his voice.
"Alright! Alright…but you have to promise me that you won't tell her a thing!" exclaimed Kagome before she began. "Well, a long time ago when her mother had died, a few months later, her father became ill. By the age of twelve, her father had died and they were put into an orphanage. One day, there was this couple that wanted to adopt Sango, but separately from Kohaku. When she heard about the supposed to be good news, she cried endlessly and made a huge tantrum. Such a huge tantrum that the couple decided not to adopt Sango anymore…One day, another couple visited but this time they were interested in adopting Kohaku. The day of the adoption, Sango just wouldn't let Kohaku go and clung tightly to him. But in the end, all effort was lost when a paper was signed and he walked out the door. From that day, Sango promised him that she'd get him back, somehow and someday. So just this year, Sango was able to get Kohaku back. She just doesn't want to lose him again…"
"…But still…well, thanks for telling me Kagome. Say, what's going on between you and Inuyasha?" asked Miroku afterwards.
"Huh? Oh! Uh…nothing…" replied Kagome blushing all over.
"You're definitely lying because earlier I caught you guys making out. Come on, tell me the truth. Is there a bond being created? What's gonna happen to Koga?" asked Miroku.
"I-I swear, there is only a friendly bond between me and Inuyasha…and I'm still Koga's girlfriend…" replied Kagome.
"Uh-huh…well, thanks for your time. I'll wait in the living room for Sango…" said Miroku as he stood up to leave.
"Hey, umm, so what's exactly going on between you and Sango?" asked Kagome.
"…nothing…yet." Miroku replied bluntly.
In the Living Room
"Huh? Oh…you must be…Kirara? Now you're cute…" said Miroku as he stroked a tiny cat-like creature.
"I see you've met Kirara…" said a soft voice.
" Oh Sango! I was just waiting for you…" said Miroku calmly. " You look quite tired, you should get some rest as well. I'll see you tomorrow."
…What am I supposed to say? Thank you for helping me find Kohaku? I guess I could…
"M-Miroku wait! Umm…I, uh…just wanted to thank you for helping me find Kohaku…and…for today's evening…Come on Sango, tell him! This is your chance! uh, for today's evening…" blushed Sango.
"…My pleasure Sango…see you tomorrow!" said Miroku as the door closed behind him.
"Y-Yeah…" replied Sango too late.
Flashback
"Daddy! Please get better! Please! You just have to get better Daddy!" cried a little girl.
"…My dear Sango…please calm down…it is nearly my time to go…I will always be with you…remember that…remember…" replied an old man weakly.
"D-Daddy! No! You can't die! It's not your time, don't die on me!" shouted the young girl.
"Remember…" was the last word the old man had said.
"Daddy…" sniffed the little girl, clinging on tightly to her father's arm.
(The Next Day)
"Umm Honey, we'll need you and your brother to come with us. You're not old enough to live by yourself." Spoke an old lady.
"But…to where?" asked the little girl.
"…To a place where you can be adopted." Replied the woman quickly.
(At Orphanage, Few days later)
"Yes, I would like to adopt that sweet little girl." Said a young woman.
"Oh, yes of course. She'll be delighted. Sango! Come here! Come meet your new family!" shouted the old woman.
(Ten minutes later)
"No, no, no, no! I don't want to leave without Kohaku! I won't leave!" screamed the young girl.
"Calm down Sango, is this any way to act in front of a visitor? I'd say not…calm down!" shouted the old woman, but Sango just wouldn't stop screaming.
"I've heard enough of this ruckus, there's no way I'm going to adopt such a child as that. No one would in fact!" yelled the young woman as she turned to leave.
(A week later)
"Yes, I would love to adopt this cute young little boy named Kohaku." Claimed a young girl.
"Aw, how sweet. Now how old are you two?" asked the old lady.
"We just got married…" replied the young man.
"All right well, here's the paper. All you have to do is sign it and he's all yours." smiled the old lady.
"Perfect." The couple replied.
(An hour later)
"No! Kohaku! I'm not gonna let go! You can't take my brother!" screamed a young girl.
"Miss please control this girl, she's hurting my son, Firo." Demanded the young woman.
"Firo? Firo! His name's not Firo it's Kohaku! Now leave my brother alone!" screamed the little girl. Suddenly, the old lady's hand grasped onto the little girl's arm, holding on tightly and painfully.
"S-stop! Y-you're hurting me!" shouted the little girl.
"Let go and I'll stop. Let go now!" yelled the old woman; she had had enough of this little girl.
"No! I won't…ow…I won't…"cried the little girl with tears in her eyes. Soon, her little hands weakened and let go. The little boy held his new mother's hand and glanced back. Then he turned and walked away.
(Years Later)
"Please! Please let me take care of my brother! Let him come back to me!" pleaded a young woman.
"Stop it! This boy is not your brother! You have no custody over him! If he ever wants to leave us he can, but I doubt he would! Now stop banging on our door you diseased girl!" shouted a young lady.
"No please! You don't understand! He's my brother Kohaku! Please, if you'd just listen! I've worked real hard to earn money, just so I could pay you and have my brother back!" shouted the young girl.
"Exactly how sick are you? You can't pay for a human being! You sick wench! Get off of our porch! Off with you! Go!" yelled the young lady furiously. Suddenly, a young boy walked behind his mother and stared into the eyes of the young girl on their porch. They looked exactly like his and something about her, just made him feel safe.
"Hey, who are you?" asked the young boy.
"I-I'm your-
"She's just a poor street girl. She just won't leave!" shouted the mother angrily.
"Maybe I can talk to her mom…"said the boy quietly as he walked outside.
(outside of the house)
"Who are you really?" asked the young boy.
"I'm your sister! Don't you remember me? It's me! Sango!" shouted the girl.
"…I'm sorry but I don't remember any sister…" started the young boy.
"Then, then how do you explain his?" showed Sango.
"That's, that's the other half to my necklace! Where did you find that?" asked Kohaku as he took out his part of the necklace. "No one has this kind of necklace except me!"
"Put it together." said Sango as she handed over the necklace half.
"They…they fit and in the heart says "Sango" on one half and "Kohaku" on the other…how did you get this? My birth father gave this to me when I was but a toddler! Then that must mean…you truly are my sister…All right, I've made up my mind. I want to live with you again, sis…" Said Kohaku as he hugged his sister.
End of Flashback
"Yawn What a dream…" sighed Sango just as she awoke.
That dream was quite awkward…it was as if it was a memory…I've been getting a lot of these lately…
" Oh! Sango, good, you're up. I have to tell you something! A new girl is being transferred to our school today! I can't wait to meet her!" said Kagome happily.
"That's good." Replied Sango as she buttoned up her white polo shirt. Then she slipped on a pair of dark blue jeans, brushed her hair, and walked out the door.
At School
"Hey Kagome!" shouted a male voice. " I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you much…"
"Oh! Uh, Koga! Yeah, long time no see…" said Kagome quietly.
"So, I was thinking. Do you want to go to a movie with me this Friday?" asked Koga flirting.
"Umm, uh…sure." Replied Kagome nervously.
"Cool, see-you later!" shouted back Koga as he ran away to join his group.
"Yeah…see-you…" whispered Kagome.
"Uh…Kagome?" asked another male voice.
"Inuyasha! Hi! What's up?" asked Kagome.
"Well, it's just that I've been thinking…we've already kissed a few times and maybe it's time for you to drop as Koga's girlfriend…" Inuyasha said quietly.
"…Oh. Well, it's not that simple Inuyasha. He's just too kind to me and I still have feelings for him…you understand don't you?" asked Kagome hopefully.
"…Yeah…I guess…" replied Inuyasha sadly. "See you around Kagome…"
In Class
" Class, today we have a new student. Her name is Kikyou Hishizu, I hope you all welcome her with open arms." Announced the teacher.
"K-Kikyou…" said someone quietly.
