She was running and running quickly. But to where? From who? Was she being chased or was she the one doing the chasing? She didn't know. It was pitch black and the only thing she was able to hear was her own heartbeat and her breath escaping her lips.

Ahead, she could see a door with no connection. Just a white door leading to no where. She stopped in front of it, catching her breath then put her hand on the handle and opened it.

A sudden bright light flowed out from its prison, making her shield her eyes. When she looked again, there was a large ball room filled with masked people. They all turned to one another and whispered. She heard her name many times but couldn't understand the other things they were saying.

"Sango…"

There was one whisper that seemed louder than all the others, so, she entered the abyss. The door slammed behind her and when she turned it was no longer there and when she turned back, she found herself in a gown…a wedding gown…

But no matter. That voice…It was calling to her, echoing through the whole place.

"Sango…"

She decided to follow it. Moving through the crowds of people that tried to block her way, she forced herself through.

"Sango!"

The whisper was becoming a scream. Her name was called again by a familiar voice. She ran quickly though what seemed to be a hall until she was in front of the one door that blocked the path to her true destination. She placed her hand on the knob and was about to turn it when-

"SANGO!"

It screamed again. He screamed her name. Wait… that voice… was so much like…

A gun shot came from the room. She stopped herself from opening the door, afraid to see what was on the other side. Tears started flowing down her face but she didn't know why. What was happening?

She pushed the door open slowly only to see a site that would scar her mind forever.

He was…lying on the floor…a hole right between his eyes. She slowly averted her gaze over to his murderer only to see-

Sango screamed, jolting up in the hospital bed. At hearing the scream, Leon also jumped from his position in a near chair.

"Sango! It's alright! I'm here!" He wrapped his arms around the terrified girl and tried to silence her whimpers and whines. "It was only a nightmare, you're alright…"

Sango couldn't help but start to cry. What she saw would stick in her mind forever, nightmare or not. Why did she see those things? Was this a sign? If it was, it was more like punishment. She rested her forehead on Leon's shoulder and cried. "Oh, Leon, What happened?"

"At the airport, you stopped breathing after running into someone. You were stunned so they brought you to the hospital. You could have died if we waited any longer…" He rubbed his nose into her hair. "You're okay love, it was just a nightmare."

She lifted herself off his shoulder and looked at him, her eyes red from crying already. "Do you know… who it was that I ran into?" She sniffed.

"Well, uh, no. He left before I got word."

It didn't matter. She already knew it was Miroku. He was the last thing she remembered before going blank.

Wait. Something was wrong with this picture. Leon wasn't supposed to be in Tokyo. He was supposed to be in the southern part of the country making business deals and what not before their wedding.

"How long have I…been asleep?"

"Four days." He smiled. "What? You didn't think I would just stay at work while you were in the hospital did you? Sango, honey, please, I'd do anything for the woman I love."

Sango tried to smile but she just couldn't. That image flew back to her vision and her eyes started to water again. "I love you Leon."

Leon leaned in and gave her a small peck on the lips. "I love you too. Now, if you need more rest, I'll stay as long as you want me too."

Sango nodded. "It's okay. I'm fine. You can go back to business. I want you to finish everything before the wedding so you'll be able to stay home."

He nodded in agreement. "If that's what you want. Kagome should be coming in later today. Just get some rest okay? And call me as soon as you get home."

"I will. Now quit worrying and get out of here." She cupped his face in her hands and gave him a passionate kiss.


Miroku walked out the door, a smile on his face. He had stayed with his dear Sango last night and was in a very happy mood. He walked over to his car and got in, starting it and driving away. Just as he pulled out of the driveway, his cell phone started to ring.

He became nervous quite quickly and just looked at it while it sat on the passenger's seat. After ringing a few more times, it stopped. He sighed in relief, again focusing his eyes back on the road when it started ringing again. He grabbed it angrily and answered.

"Yeah, what do you want?"

"Were you trying to ignore me?" A rather familiar voice on the other end asked calmly.

Miroku sighed in defeat. "No sir. I just found my phone."

"Sure you did. Meet Kagura in fifteen."

Miroku lay on his bed, hands behind his head and eyes fixed on the ceiling above. He sighed and closed his eyes. He hadn't been able to sleep for about four days now; his mind was always on her, Sango. He never imagined he would see her again, not now at least. Maybe after death….or not. He hoped she was okay but then he would wonder….

It's been six years, six very long years. She could have a family by now…with some guy. Or maybe she didn't, maybe she was still alone. 'No, that's keeping my hopes up. She's a beautiful woman, she wouldn't be alone all this time…'

'You should go see her.'

'What? No, what if she goes into shock again!'

'You know you want to. You need to see her.'

Miroku growled at himself. He now understood why others thought he was so annoying. He turned his head and glanced at Kouga, who was just sitting there as he was. "Hey, what now?"

Kouga looked at him for a moment before asking, "Who was the chick?"

"Oh, um…she was an old friend of mine that I never expected to see again really. Why?" He blinked. But he knew Kouga was always curious. Back at HQ, everyone called him The Wolf Prince because he had so much animal instinct yet expected to be treated like royalty.

"I was just curious." 'Bingo'. Miroku smiled. "I saw how you looked at the other one back there, the one still in her uniform. Not a bad choice if I do say so myself."

Kouga's expression turned to annoyed one. "No woman is a bad choice for you. You even hit on Kagura." He shivered. "She gives me the creeps."

The two men sighed. "Would you tell HQ if I paid a visit to someone here?" Oh he hoped Kouga wouldn't. Of course he trusted his partner and Kouga never really went by the rules himself but he was also very unpredictable.

"Depends, who is it? That same girl in the airport?"

"Yea…" He mumbled, the whole scene going back over in his head. "Sango."

Kouga stood and stretched his arms out. "Only if I could come along. I'd like to meet this 'Old friend' of yours Miroku. I wonder if I could see, yet, another woman slap you across the face." Kouga smirked. This was going to be fun.

Miroku rolled his eyes. "She may be more depressed than angry."

With that, they left in search of dear Sango.

Kagome smiled as her and her best friend left the hospital. Getting in her car she started it and began driving to campus. "So, you're sure you're okay?"

Sango smiled and nodded. She felt she had enough rest and was ready to get back to her classes. Kagome, being the nice one she was, already copied notes and assignments for her so she wouldn't fall behind even though it had only been four days. But testing was going to start soon and she had to be ready.

"So…um…The guy… at the airport, you knew him, eh?" Kagome asked. She knew no normal guy could make her stop breathing, no matter how perverted the dude may be. 'But then again, if he did touch Sango, she wouldn't be stunned, she'd be more pissed off and try to kick his ass…' She thought to herself, debating on how exactly her best friend acted in different situations.

"What makes you think that..?" Sango mumbled a reply quietly. She wasn't mad at the encounter. No, she was, well, pretty depressed about it. So many questions went through her mind and she knew that most would go unanswered. 'Besides-' she thought, 'That was probably an accidental meeting. He would never come back just for me…'

"Oh, c'mon Sango. I've known you for a while, I know my best friend. I also know that you never really talk about your past very much. You must have known that guy from somewhere."

Sango sighed. Why did Kagome happen to read her mind? How could she possibly know anything she was thinking? WHY was she always on the right track! It was so annoying, yet, comforting. Kagome only wanted to help, that's all she cared about. She was the type of person that care more about her friends than herself and Sango respected that.

"Okay.. I do know him. So what?"

Kagome smiled. "Past boyfriend maybe?"

"You have no idea…"

"Well then, let's hope we run into him again, hm?"

Sango could sense it now. Kagome was getting ideas and, it was pretty odd, but Kagome was the person to actually think deviously sometimes. Look at InuYasha's situation! Every time the one word 'Osuwari' is said, he flew into the ground!

She shook her head. "Kagome, I appreciate that you care but seeing him again would just torture me. You don't understand the history."

Kagome glanced at her friend with solemn eyes, "I would if you share it with me…"

Sango frowned.

'Maybe it would be okay to tell her. I mean, she's your best friend.'

'I know and I trust her and all but…it's just a touchy subject.'

'If you never let anyone in, how are you supposed to heal?'

'I have healed! I let Leon heal me and I'm fine! If Miroku didn't come back, I wouldn't have to worry about those damn emotional wounds re-opening and making my life go to hell again.'

'You know you're happy he came back. You lost hope and as soon as you saw those eyes of his, you were happy. That's the reason you couldn't breathe!'

'No, the reason I couldn't breathe was because all those memories came flooding ack at once!'

'Quit arguing and admit it. Tell Kagome about everything. Maybe you'll feel better afterwards.'

She glanced at Kagome and smiled sadly. "Alright Kagome, I'll tell you about it…"


Doesn't it seem like your inner ego knows everything? Like it knows how everything will turn out before you even think about it? Unless, of course, you don't have one…Anyway, I'm sorry if you guys think this chapter isn't long enough. Forgive me, but I think all authors get a little writers block at times and have to cut a situation off so that they may have some time to think about future events. :)

Thank you Reviewers:

Ignorant Wisdom: Oh, yes. Many questions and only some may be answered. Dun, dun, dun. Nah, I'm just kidding. Everything will make sense soon. :3
