A Dark Moon and A Red Rose

Chapter 11: The bond of sister's and brothers!

Leaves, surrounding them were leaves, and bark and dirt, great joy it was. Right must I remind there were also rocks, lots of rocks that a girl kept tripping over while yelling her head off. Well let's just start earlier on today. It was at a shrine, the Higurashi shrine to be precise. A yell was heard over the grounds, "ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M LOUD!" screamed a girl, bringing us closer you could see four people, two boys and two girls. The girl that had just screamed was our beloved Sango.

"You just proved my point," smirked Hiei. Steam started to shoot from Sango's ears as she glared at Hiei.

"Calm down Sango-chan, please just calm down, if you want then you can go search for Yukina with Hiei if your so egger to be with him," smiled Kagome who was hiding behind Kurama, she giggled slightly as Sango's mouth dropped open.

"Oh, I understand now Kagome you just want to spend time with Kurama all alone, I understand perfectly, I'll leave you alone then," smirked Sango, batting her lashings while laughing to herself.

"No Sango, you're just giving up easily cause you wanna be with Hiei, wipe that smirk off of your face Kurama," growled Kagome. Kurama laughed slightly as Sango crossed her arms and leaned back slightly a smirk plastered on her face. That was when Kurama and Kagome left so that the morning wouldn't drag on any longer.

"Come on or I'm leaving you behind," snapped Hiei and started to jump into one of the trees beside the shrine stairs.

"I'm very surprised that you already haven't left me behind," sighed Sango and followed Hiei into the trees They jumped from tree to tree in silence, not one was talking to the other, a heavy atmosphere was started to accumulate around the two. "Hiei…"

"What do you need?" questioned Hiei continuing to jump through the trees.

"Yukina, you really care for her as a big brother, don't you?" whispered Sango she was looking down at the ground now while jumping from tree to tree. Hiei looked at her momentarily and nodded swiftly. From the corner of her eyes she saw Hiei nod and she smiled.

"Yukina is the most important person to me in the world," Hiei said shocked by his own words, when did he ever express his feelings so willingly to others. Hiei cursed to himself and turned his head away. Why did this onna always make his defenses fall and make him say things never before said?

"Is she the only family you have left?" questioned Sango. She stared at Hiei her eyes softening as an image of a boy appeared in her mind, the image of a time when the boy and she were younger and the village of the demon slayers was out fishing. The two were trying to hand catch fish and the boy slipped and fell as Sango laughed.

"Biologically yes, but don't tell Kurama this, but he is like a brother to me, but there is never any need to worry about him, as I said once before during the dark tournament, even I would have a hard time defeating that silver kitsune," smirked Hiei amazed with his words yet again, now he was spilling his heart out to this onna again, what was wrong with his mind.

"I understand, Kagome is like a sister to me, I tell everyone that and Kagome tells everyone that, I believe I told you at the beginning when we first met at the school," smiled Sango.

"You did tell me," scoffed Hiei sniffing the air, "we're entering demon world now." Sango nodded and they passed through a barrier that shimmered as they landed on the other side. The sky was orange like it usually was and it was peaceful, no crazed youkai running around, and no headless birds flapping fruitlessly in the sky.

Another image then started to go through Sango's mind of when a time a bear had attacked the little boy. He tried so hard to defend himself to show that he was a real demon slayer, but at heart he already was, but the other half of his heart said not, the boy was so innocent as those times. Before the little boy was to be slaughtered by the youkai Sango had come and killed at slicing it in half. Sango healed a scratch on the boy's leg and he ran off telling Sango to wait where she was. He came back a little later and had presented her was a bouquet of flowers. That day she skipped the whole way home. It was one of the best days of her life. "I had a sibling too…"whispered Sango, tears coming from her eyes. Hiei turned to look at her…had? Nearly stumbling on a branch Hiei stopped jumping from tree to tree.

"What do you mean by had?" questioned Hiei. Some how the emotion of pity came into his thoughts and that he already knew what the answer was he just didn't know what the full answer was.

"Let's just sit down for a bit, we'll speed up later to recover the lost time in finding Yukina but I can't tell this story while running," whispered Sango and sat on a large branch on one side of a big tree that was slowly shedding a few white flowers. Sango leaned on the trunk one leg on the branch bent and the other leg dangling off the branch. Her hands reached for one of the flowers and she twirled the stem of the flower till it came off of its branch then she held it in her hands as she looked to the sky. Hiei on the other hand was on the other side of the same tree and was standing and leaning on the trunk waited for Sango's story.

"A long time ago when the search had not yet started and all I knew was that Kirara was the only good demon I had a younger brother. His name was Kohaku and a cared for him a lot. My mother had died right after she had Kohaku so instead of letting Kohaku think that he was motherless I his big sister would take on the job of his mother and his sister at the same time. I loved him with all my heart; I was the one of the best demon slayers in my village since I was the daughter of the village head. Kohaku though was not one who loved to slay demons, instead he liked to play and make others happy, he was just born that way, he got his personality from his mother while I got mine from my father," started Sango.

Hiei nodded, this was going to turn out interesting that he knew, a demon slayer that had a heart that couldn't stand death would always turn out bad, or a left out like he was.

"Well we tried to train Kohaku well so that he would be as good as father; he never loved it but it okay with him. One day we were called out to a castle by the master who lived there to exterminate a youkai that was making the master sick. The truth was that the master was the true youkai and Kohaku was put under his control. He killed father and the best slayers in the village within seconds and nearly killed me too. The prince at that castle was Naraku and he was the center of all this killing. Kohaku died that day too but Naraku brought him back to do his own bidding and use him against me, it worked, three times in a row, and I would always fall for his traps as long as Kohaku was involved," tears started to roll down Sango's cheeks as Hiei continued to listen.

"He nearly killed Kagome one time when I wasn't there, I stopped him that day and nearly killed him, if Inuyasha hadn't stopped me that day then he would have been dead, I would have been dead too. Little did I know that one time Kohaku regained his memory of me and all the things he did before Naraku took control of his life, but he kept it secret like a weapon that was small but deadly like a vile of poison. I never knew and I protected him from man eating rats that day, I should have known that his behavior was like it was before all this happened, but I didn't see it, I was too blind to see it. Then came the day of the full moon when the final battle occurred. I was left to fight with my brother, he told me he was free, but the shikon shard in his back still held his life and we would eventually need that shard to put the shikon no tama back together, and he begged me to kill him, he pleaded with me to kill him, just take out the shard, but I couldn't do that I couldn't kill my sweet little brother, even if he was crying. If I had killed him his death would have been peaceful but before I knew it a tentacle broke through Kohaku's heart and pulled out the shikon shard, leaving my brothers body messy and broken, his eyes stared at me as blood pooled around him," whispered Sango, Hiei heard every word that she said and sighed. Sango wiped away her tears.

"That was the end of Kohaku, his death was brutal, even more so then his first death, but when Kagome asked me if I wanted to wish Kohaku back with the shikon I could see his dead eyes glow with life in my mind, but I declined and his eyes continued to glow, and his soul rested in peace, but I miss him so much. Even if the glow came to his eyes after a declined the wish his dead eyes have remained imprinted in my memory like wallpaper on my laptop that I can't take away yet I must open my laptop everyday and see the picture of his eyes. Now I always say to myself, what could I have done to make this out come so much different, could I have saved Kohaku from his first death," muttered Sango as she ended her story.

"I wouldn't take it as easily as you did," whispered Hiei, Sango looked around the tree at him.

"How so?" asked Sango.

"I would have had more outbursts and wouldn't have been able to live with myself if something like that happened to Yukina. I would hate it, it would never work and I would have died from the beginning, after all Kohaku was the most important person to you," stated Hiei.

"He still is very important, but I don't want to tie him to this world with my sadness, I would like him to have another beginning so that he can relive his life after all death is never the end just the beginning of a new adventure," smiled Sango twisting the white flower in her hand. Sango stood up on her branch and leaned against the tree.

"That is true, but of I died with Yukina I could make the new beginning with her," explained Hiei.

"I thought that too, that's why I almost killed him and myself," stated Sango, "but she would be sad to see you by her side because you killed yourself for her."

"I guess you are correct," scoffed Hiei. Sango just laughed slightly, but there was a hint of sadness, in one quick movement Hiei was directly in front of her as Sango gasped slightly. "remove that sadness from your laugh, the happiness is more pure once you do."

Sango smiled at Hiei and tilted her head to the side, Hiei didn't know what was going on but before he knew it his lips were on hers in a first true kiss between the two. Sango gasped slightly who would have known Hiei was a good kisser, she kissed him back as a whirl wind of white flowers surrounded the two. As the kiss broke Hiei held Sango close too him as she rested her head on his shoulder. It was the perfect picture like a painted landscape that was until a purple mist came into the air replacing the little bit of white mist. A black hole suddenly appeared beneath the branch that the two were standing on as Sango cried out in surprise. The dark void started to pull everything in, first went the white flowers. Suddenly an invisible force hit Hiei dead in the middle of his back making him release Sango as she fell of the branch yelling in terror. "HIEI!"

Sango hurled down the black hole as it closed up as Hiei reached the ground. His eyes widened, Sango was gone, a laugh rang through the air…it was Naraku. Hiei's eyes flashed, Naraku would pay, taking Yukina and Sango.
