SnowFox13, Nooo! Evil things don't come from InuYashas! But you're gonna love what Sango does to InuYasha. Heeheehee, I'm evil…

On with the story.

Sango was dumb with shock. She tried to speak, but all she could manage was to squeak out

"How?" She made another squeak, then repeated "How?"

"Something evil's inside you, creatin' itself through you." Said Kaede. Sango lost her tong. Suddenly everything seemed clear. It was clear it was hopeless. "We need to kill it. Quickly." Sango started to nod. It was a good idea. She didn't want to fight a demon, and she sure as well didn't want to aid a demons way into the world. But even as these thoughts made sense, slightly darker thoughts took over the back of her brain. Thoughts like: You may never have a child again is they try to kill it inside you. They often make mistakes like that, and you know that. Sango put her hand on her stomach. She knew it was true. There was something inside her. Her looked back up at Kaede.

"No." She said. "I want to have it." Sango was a sensible person, so Kaede knew that she wouldn't be offended later. Kaede had expected something like this. With a soft 'thud' Sango went limp and hit the ground.

"I'm sorry, Taijia-Sama," Said Kaede. "You'll thank me later…"

…

Sango woke up to see Kaede arguing with a few villagers. One of them, she recalled, was learning to be a doctor. Memories swam back into their places slowly. Something hurt… Was it her arm? She wiggled her left arm, then her right. No, arms were okay. Her back? No, her back was just fine too. Ah, it was her head… She was about to get up when another memory found its spot. They wanted to kill it… Sango felt herself suddenly have all her strength back. She was loosely tied, but she was also agile, so she freed herself easily, dashing out.

"Catch her!" She heard someone cry. "Don't let her get away!" Sango winced. She knew the baby was still alive, but she felt weaker, as if she'd been hurt. By that she knew they'd already tried to kill it. Anger fueled her mad dash. When she looked back she saw they were keeping in pace with her. She was tired. The ache in her head now slowed her down, but she refused to stop. She rammed into something bony. It gripped her tightly. Sango looked up into the golden eyes of InuYasha. Her heart was beating extremely fast. InuYasha was looking over the villagers following her, and he was walking towards them, Sango and all. She tried to struggle free, but it was no use; InuYasha could outwrestle at least three Sangos. She felt a tear make a path down the side of her cheek. They were about a hundred yards away, but InuYasha was walking. Everyone else was catching their breath. She knew that if all else failed she could use the Shikon Shards, but something told her that was a bad idea.

"InuYasha…" she whispered. "InuYasha, you have to run from here… Please let me go." She said, looking up at him pleadingly. "Please… This baby…" She said, touching her stomach. She had the sinking feeling that the baby was feeding her words to use. "This baby could be ours…" InuYasha faltered in his step, but continued. It was working. "InuYasha, I know I was angry before… When you told me how you feel…" InuYasha's pace slowed a fraction. Clearly working. "But that's because I was scared of hurting Kagome… Cause I knew I loved to back…" InuYasha stopped. Sango knew it was wrong to lie, but she was terrified, so she did all she could to keep her, and her baby alive.

"Sango, something evil is inside of you…" He said quietly, not looking at her. "We have to get it out of you before something dreadful happens to you, and perhaps the world."

"But InuYasha… Evil is in the mind, anything can be swayed to, or from evil…" She said. Well, it was partly true. She raised herself up and whispered as close to his ear as she could. "InuYasha, if the baby dies, I go too…" She said, then gave him a peck on the cheek. "But I understand. You do what you have to do…" She said, reaching into her pocket. InuYasha swung her onto his back and charged at the villagers. Sango was too slow to react, but lucky for her she didn't have to. InuYasha jumped right over them, and carried Sango into the forest. InuYasha set her down after three or four miles.

"I'm going to regret this…" He told her.

…

Miroku was on the other side of town when all that went down. He was waiting. He didn't was to be around to hear Sango being hurt, or anything that might happen. Then a man came running up, instantly he knew he should have been there.

"Lord Monk…" Said the man between gulps of air. "The Taijia has escaped, and Lady Kaede requests your audience!" The man was bent over half way with his hands on his knees, only barely managing to stay upright.

"Why does she need me? Should she not have me help get Lady Sango?" He asked.

"Lady Kaede needs to give you protection. The Taijia has bewitched InuYasha!" Said the man. Miroku grimaced.

"I go." He said, making his way to Kaede's hut.

…

It had been two days now. InuYasha and Sango were on the run still. InuYasha was trying to make dinner, but he realized he was very bad at it. The meat was burned, the herd Songo'd given him to make it taste better began to melt, then congeal, and the makeshift plates Sango had made just before heading off to the nearby stream had fallen into the fire a burned away. InuYasha grumbled. Sango returned. In just two days her belly had swollen and was showing as if she had been carrying the baby for two months. The baby terrified InuYasha, but it made Sango happy. And, he had to admit, she was more beautiful that he'd ever seen her. She smiled at him, her hair still damp from her bath. She said nothing bad about the meat. In fact, she seemed to enjoy it. Both the other nights they'd made camp Sango had been freezing all night. In the morning she denied it, but InuYasha could hear her teeth chattering. Sango set up her bedroll, and laid in it. InuYasha, of course, didn't have a bedroll. Besides, he wanted to stay up a little longer. He heard little clicking noises. Sango was cold again. InuYasha sighed. He came over to Sango's bedroll. She was asleep. First he laid his Haori over her, then – to his surprise as much as anyone else's – He got into the bedroll and pulled Sango close to him. Her hair smelled wonderful, and the smell was making him crazy. As soon as he shut his eyes he heard a small mumble.

"Thank you…" Said Sango.
