Chapter 2:
My Changing Life
Sango P.O.V.
I walked up the stairs of Shikon High, with Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome next to me.
"Two mother effing weeks 'till school ends, and bye-bye High school!" Miroku said happily. Inuyasha 'Fehed', and Kagome was to busy talking to me, as I tried to pay attention.
"I mean, come on! Hojo and Koga know I'm with Inuyasha, yet they both stalk me! So basically he's trying to bribe me to dump him!" That was what I heard Kagome say. It's too boring though…
' I wonder if mom and dad will ever stop fighting. I hate it.' I thought.
We all headed toward our lockers, which were located right next to each other.
I sighed and fiddled with my combination till it opened. I got out her Biology book out of my locker and closed it. While everyone started to talk, Iremained quiet. 'I hate my life. Why don't they know, I'm not okay.' I thought.
"Earth to Sango!" Kagome said waving her hand in front of me, snapping my mind outta my thoughts. "Nani?" I asked.
"What's with you Sango?" Miroku asked me with concern in his voice.
"Nothing, I was just thinking." I said as the others nodded and we went to our Homeroom class. It's cool we have all the same classes together…sometimes.
"Aye let me take roll." Ms. Kaede said.
"Houshi Miroku"
"Here!"
"Tashio Inuyasha"
"What? Oh, here."
"Higurashi Kagome"
"Here Ms. Kaede!"
"Taijiya Sango."
"Here."
(A/n: And then Koga, Hojo, Kikyo, uh… and I think that's it. I'm just too lazy to do the rest.)
As soon as they finished taking role, the bell rang. They had a 5 minute break before any class started. "So anything new Sango?" Miroku asked her.
"Oh, nothing Houshi-sama." She answered him with a small smirk. She loved teasing him with that name.
"Sango! I thought I said not to call me that!" He whined.
Sango let out a small giggle. Her face may seem happy. But you couldn't see any happiness in her eyes. They sometimes held sorrow, anger, hate, nothing…anything but happiness.
Once she stopped laughing, she became quiet, thinking about her life…when everything came crashing down, in her opinion.
.:Flash Back :. ((Reg. POV))
A 13-year old Sango walked home from a long day of school. A smile on her lips thinking about there family vacation coming up. 'I wonder what Mom and Daddy are planning for me and Kohaku!' She thought happily. That is, until she saw her house being surrounded by police officers.
'What the hell?' She thought beginning to worry. "Hey!" She shouted running over to an officer. "What's going on?"
"There has been a report of a murder around this area. That person came in and killed a little boy in that house." The officer said and pointed to Sango's house. Sango froze "No…no….oh please, god no!" She said aloud. Her tears were threatening to come loose. "I'm sorry. It was a boy around the age of nine. Is this your house?" The officer asked her.
"Yeah…it's my house…and that was my little brother." She whispered the last part out. And her tears came pouring down her face. Her knees got weak, and she fell to the floor crying.
After that day, they moved to another house, and her parents were bickering. Soon she met Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku. And her life, changed forever.
.:End Flash back:. ((End Reg. POV Start Sango POV again))
"Sango? Are you okay?" Miroku asked her, snapping out me out of my gaze.
I took a look at him. His icy blue eyes were full of concern. I gave him a smile. "Yeah…I was just thinking about before I moved."
I never really told anyone what happened. I just told them I moved because of an incident. Nothing more, and nothing less. I'm still not happy that the murderer only got 10 years in prison. He should get a death sentence.
"Feh. You think too much." Inuyasha replied, rolling his eyes.
"Inuyasha, you have to be nicer to your friends you know!" Kagome scolded at him. The two began to bicker, as I sighed. I closed my eyes and thought of nothing…until I felt something on my ass. I turned bright red and…
SLAP! "HENTAI!" I yelled to Miroku. He now had a red hand print on his face…as usual.
"Honestly. When will you learn?" I asked him, my face still red.
"Ah, my Lovely Sango…it's my cursed right hand. I have no control over it." He tried to reason with me…wait? Did he just call me, 'My Lovely Sango?'
"Don't call me, 'My Lovely Sango' Houshi-sama!" I yelled my face turning redder.
"I won't call you My Lovely Sango if you stop calling me Houshi-sama." He said with a grin.
"Fine, Miroku." I said, making 'Miroku' the main point. Again, he grinned.
Then, the bell rang. We got over to first period biology.
I sat down in my desk, in the second row from the back. Inuyasha sat on my right, Kagome on my left, and luckily, Miroku sat next to Inuyasha.
I didn't bother to pay attention to the teacher, 'Professor' Naraku anyways. I always wondered about who killed Kohaku. Just the thought of him, makes me sad. I slowly started to fall asleep, but the sound of the ball woke me up, and it signaled us to go to our next class.
We have writing class next. I loved writing; it's just a way to express how you feel, not by emotions, but by words.
"Okay, now write a poem about how you ever felt…it could be a happy time, a sad, depressed one, an angry one, a calm one, as long as it has to do with life." Our teacher, (a/n: who will be Ms. Yurisho ) Ms. Yurisho said. I instantly thought back to five years ago when Kohako died.
I took out a piece of paper and started to write. After 10 minutes, lots of people came up and read their poem. Soon it was my turn. I got out of my desk, stood up, and started to read.
"Alone I was standing on days so cold
Too see you come near
I was happy to see you there
But on that fateful day
I would never again hear your voice say,
"Sister you are finally home!"
You left me, and now I am sad
Fate had a special way to punish me
I am in torment, I am in vein
There is no comfort, can you see?
I am sad, but you can't see
Without you, I feel slain.
I would do anything, to make you come back
I don't have a reason to smile again
I miss you; I hope to see you again.
I know you won't come back
But I miss you, my dear brother."
I finished it and said, "This is called, "My dear brother." And that was my poem." I mentally smacked my forehead. 'That is sooo smart.' I thought.
After 30 seconds of pure silence, the class started to clap, and I gave MS. Yurisho my paper and sat down. As we listened to the rest of the class' poems, I basically heard a lot about nature or love. Mines was the only sad or anti-happy one, like I care though. The bell rang, and I headed straight out the door to my locker.
"Hey Sango! What was that poem all about? I never knew you had a brother!" Kagome said surprised. I looked at her, with tears, covering my eyes. "I never told anyone why I moved here in the first place. Maybe, I'll tell you when the time is right." I said, ending it with a sigh.
"Can you tell us Sango?" Miroku almost begged.
"Feh." Inuyasha said, looking away. I sighed yet again…"Well, I guess, I could…" I said as I got my stuff. And we headed over to the patio to talk.
"Okay, when I was 13, a week before I started school here, something happened. My late little brother, Kohaku, was 9. I was walking home one day, and I couldn't wait to see him. But when I reached my house, it was surrounded by police officers. And they told me that a boy was shot in that house, and pointed to my house. I fell to the floor crying. So we moved here and yeah." I said, looking away.
Everyone was quiet. Kagome looked up at me, with pity in her eyes. "Oh Sango! I am so sorry! I never knew!" She said, hugging me. "It's okay. I just don't like talking about it." I said.
"I am truly sorry Sango, I never knew about your brother." Miroku said. Inuyasha quietly, said, "I'm sorry."
I sighed. "It's okay…this happened 5 years ago, and I learned to move on." I put on a small smile, trying to brighten things up. "Let's go to class!"
The End of School (A/n: I am so lazy right now. XP)
I walked home with Kagome, Inuyasha and Miroku saying nothing as they talked. I'm usually quiet so they got used to it. We finally made it to my boring house. I stopped walking and turned to them. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow!" I said with a small smile and walked up to the door.
Taking out the key, I opened the door and took off my shoes. "Mom, Daddy! I'm home from school!" I shouted…silence. I didn't hear a thing.
"Hello?" I asked, slowly walking toward the hall. I looked in the kitchen. No one was there, but the kitchen was a mess. I gasped. The drawers were open, cloth and stuff hanging out, juice was spilled on the floor, the microwave was left open, and there were broken shards of glass littered around the floor.
"Oh my…" was all I could say. I walked toward the glass. I bent down and examined the shard of glass. I got up and started to clean, before my mother or father saw me doing nothing. After 10 minutes of cleaning, I got up and continued to look around.
Suddenly, I heard yelling. It sounded like my mother's voice. I slowly walked toward my parent's room, where I heard the yelling come from. I pressed my ear against the door, over hearing the conversation.
"What the hell are you doing? Destroying my house, and everything in it? I can't take your shit anymore!" I heard my mother yell at my dad.
"I can do whatever I freakin' please! So shut the hell up, bitch!" my father yelled back, and then I heard him hit something. My mother.
"You are drunk aren't you! Why are you doing this?" She yelled.
"I don't care if I'm drunk or not!" He yelled. I had enough of this. I went to my room and locked the door.
I sat on my bed, wanting to cry, but not a tear came out. Suddenly, I heard my mom slam the door, and I took a peak through the crack of the door. My mom had a suitcase in her hand, and then she said, "I'm leaving you and Sango! I'm going to get a damn divorce!" and with that, she opened the front door, and slammed it for a final time.
I closed my door and sat behind it. I heard the car start, to never return again. My father suddenly opened the door, hitting my head.
"Stupid wench…what the hell are you doing just sitting there? Go and make me something to eat, damn it!" He yelled at me, and then he slapped my face really hard. I could feel the bruise forming already.
"Ye-yes sir…" I squeaked out, and I quickly ran out of my room to prepare something for him to eat…a sandwich, and some ramen. I now know it was the end of my almost normal life, and starting a new life of pain and misery.
I served him his snack after 10 minutes, and he slapped me again. "Faster next time!" He yelled at me.
He grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. "Tell a single person about this and I will hurt you, worse than you can imagine." He whispered in a very dangerous tone. I nodded and said in a whisper. "Yes daddy."
And after dinner, for the longest 10 minutes of my life, he beat me up. When it was 10:00, he passed out, and I went online and since I was no one on, I got off and did the rest of my homework that I didn't get to finish. Slowly, I fell asleep.
I woke up to my alarm clock. Afraid it would wake my dad up, I turned it off. "Let yesterday be a dream." I mumbled. I went to the mirror, and saw with my own two eyes, my face, I huge bruise, also on my arms and legs. I took my makeup and covered them as best as I could. I got dressed for school, and I quietly snuck out of the house. My father was still passed out on the floor.
When I got to school, everything was fine. I felt happy there. Safer and better than at home. I smiled and met up with Kagome and them.
"Hey Sango, you weren't on yesterday, what happened?" Kagome asked me.
"Oh, I was uh… busy. Had to help my Mom and Dad clean the house and I got into trouble." I lied with a shrug. I hope they believe me.
"Oh…okay, so anyways…" Kagome continued talking. I mentally sighed with relief. So everyone kept talking and the day went by like normal. But when school let out, I was scared. I told them I was grounded as punishment until my dad said so.
I had beatings, for a long time. After a week since my Mom left, I came up with a plan…suicide.
Later that day, I was talking to Kagome. Inuyasha and Miroku had to help the teacher so I thought it would be a good time. I walked over to Kagome's desk.
"Kagome, can I talk to you?" I asked her. She looked up at me and smiled. "Sure." She said.
"Kagome, can you keep a secret? Don't tell anyone." I said to her.
"Sure Sango, I won't." She assured me.
"I'm planning suicide once the summer is over." I said in a quiet voice.
"Wh-what?" She asked me in a shaky voice.
"I'm gonna commit suicide." I said again.
"But why?" She asked me, tears, threatening to come out of her eyes.
"I can't take the pressure anymore. My cousin Kagura is bossing me around whenever she comes, like I'm her slave. My parents' have been fighting recently, and my mom left us. And there is so much more I want to say, so please, don't tell anyone!" I said to her.
"Okay." She replied, covering her eyes, like she was going to cry. I hugged her. "Thank you Kagome." I whispered to her. We sat back down and class started. I really hoped Kagome wouldn't tell anyone.
A/n: wow, this chapter wasn't as bad as I thought. I know the first two chapters we're in Sango's POV. I'm going to make most of the future chapters in third person, instead of first. Thank you to my reviewers, and R&R! ((If flaming, go easy on me!))
