Sango's Demon Problems
Chapter 3.……………... The Path to Nowhere
Sango and Kirara walked through the thick forest totally exhausted from today's work of slaying a pack of demon rats that were terrorizing a nearby village. They had been traveling for a week now and would make stops to pick up supplies and in the process earning a job to exterminate vermin demon lurking around in different village's. Sango and Kirara headed straight into a clearing with caution. From where she stood, Sango could not sense any demons near.
" Kirara this seems like a good spot" said Sango.
Sango set up camp and grabbed her bathing supplies then turned towards Kirara.
" Kirara stay here, I'm going back to that hot spring we saw not to long ago"
Kirara nodded and laid down near a big tree to keep watch over the camp. Sango retraced her steps back the hot spring and came upon the small spot. She put her bathing supplies on a rock and begun to strip off her kimono and slayer suit.
" Mmmmm….perfect" moaned Sango as she lowered herself into the steamy water.
Sango laid in the spring and let her thoughts to her friends. ' I wonder how Kagome , Inuyasha and Shippo are doing' ,
She saddened a bit thinking about Miroku. 'No! I will not let cry over him! I do not need him! I don't need anyone'
Sango took a few moments to let the hot water work magic on her sore muscles then turned toward her supplies. She pulled out a bottle of jasmine scented shower gel that Kagome had given her from her time. She lathered the soap in her hands and worked it into her body, making sure to wash off any traces of demon blood. She put back the shower gel and pulled out a fluffy blue towel that Kagome also had given her and stepped out the hot spring. Sango wrapped her towel around her and had begun to dry off.
Unbeknown to Sango, a single pair of golden amber eyes watched her from afar and suddenly disappeared.
Sango finished donning her kimono and looked up at the darkened sky. ' I most get back to camp before Kirara worries'
She made her way back to camp and was immediate greeted by Kirara.
" Sorry I'm late Kirara, I took longer than I thought" said Sango meekly.
" Mew" said Kirara as she transformed back into her smaller form and jumped on to Sango's shoulder.
Sango kneeled and lit a fire to prepare dinner for her and Kirara. Sango sat calmly eating her stew while Kirara jumped from her shoulder and made herself at home in Sango's lap, purring contently. Sango then laid down by a tree and stared blankly at the fire, mesmerizing they way the flames danced, crackled and popped. Her eyes felt heavy and slowly began to close, she let out a big yawn and fell into a deep troubling sleep.
The next morning…………
The bright sunlight streamed through the treetops and the small birds chirped happily. Sango cracked open her eyes and scanned the camp. She sat up, stretched, and looked around again. For some reason Sango had a bad feeling something weird was going to happen. Kirara purred and nuzzled Sango affectionately to calm her down. Sango patted Kirara on her head and proceeded to pack up and continue their journey.
Sango and Kirara traveled for about a few hours down a single dirt path before they spotted a small girl crying besides a tree. Sango kneeled down and tried to calm the crying girl.
" What's your name little girl?" asked Sango
" My name is Rin" sniffled small girl
" What's your name?" Asked Rin
" My name is Sango"
" What happened to you Rin?" Asked Sango with concern
" I got lost and I can not find my way back to my lord" said Rin sadly
"And who is your lord?"
" I am" said a cold voice from behind
' I know that voice' thought Sango
" Lord Shesshomaru you found me my lord! " said Rin joyously
Sango turned around to face the demon lord but was pinned to the tree by the angry demon. Sesshomaru had Sango's neck in a tight grip with his claws puncturing her flesh. Sango winced and tried prying his hand from her neck in a futile attempt.
Kirara transformed in her bigger form and growled angrily.
" Be still human" said Sesshomaru
" What do you want with me?" questioned Sango
" What are you doing with Rin?" he hissed to Sango
" Nothing….I did nothing to her" growled Sango
" Now if you don't mind letting me go now"
" Silence bitch! This Sesshomaru does not take orders from humans such as you" snarled Sesshomaru
" My lord please let Sango go!" pleaded Rin as she tugged at Sesshomaru's pant leg.
" Rin go now" Sesshomaru said calmly
" Yes lord Sesshomaru " said Rin as she walked away in defeat
" I'll let you go because of Rin but be warned that if you cross my path again I will kill you!" growled Sesshomaru as he released Sango and walked away slowly. Sango rubbed her neck and took deep breathes while Kirara nuzzled her side and purred softly.
" It's ok Kirara I'm fine" Sango to reinsure Kirara.
" Let's continue shall we?" said Sango
" Meorrrw" growled Kirara as they walked back down the dirt path to the next village.
