Chapter 8: Kirara
Sango stood in the middle of a destroyed village. She had killed so much that it had become a habit now.
Suddenly there was a rustle in the bush. She could feel a strange presence coming from there. A human? No, it was a demon. It was hard to tell because she hadn't sensed a demon's aura for such a long time.
She heard a growl of agony come from the demon. Sango gasped as a large saber-toothed tiger limped out of the bush and fell to the ground. "Kirara!" Sango cried as she ran over to help her wounded pet.
A bunch of demons appeared in the sky, ready to attack. Kirara quickly got to her feet and took off with Sango, despite the pain she was in.
Sango had no idea where she was going, but she didn't care. She was so delighted to be with Kirara again.
As they pasted a few villages, Sango realized where Kirara was taking her. They were going to the Taijiya village!
Once they landed, Kirara transformed back into her cat form and fainted. Sango gently picked her up and sadly looked around. Everything was destroyed and there were graves for all of the villagers.
Sango felt the hot tears forming in her eyes, but quickly wiped them away. She took Kirara into her room; she couldn't bear to look, not now.
Sango sat on her bed, gently stroking Kirara. Even though her wounds had been bandaged, she was still in pain. She silently whimpered in her sleep. Sango guessed that she was probably having a bad dream.
As Sango gazed down at her beloved pet, she began to sing to her a song that her mother sang to her when she was a child. It always made Sango feel better, especially when she was feeling sad or depressed.
Sango remembered singing it to Kohaku once, and then he asked her to sing it to him again the night after that, and the night after that, and so on.
Kirara gave a tiny mew. Sango smiled. Kirara had heard the song before too.
Only then did she realize how tired she was. She didn't want to worry the others, but she could hardly keep her eyes open. She slowly drifted off to sleep.
Bankotsu opened the very last door of the castle. Sango wasn't there either! He was become very reckless. It was nightfall and Sango still hadn't returned from her "short walk". She said the latest she'd be back was sundown!
"Don't worry so much Bankotsu." Jakotsu reassured him. "She'll be back. Just give her some space." But Bankotsu hardly heard him. He was sitting on the floor, tapping his finger impatiently. Did he do something wrong?
Jakotsu sighed. Even Renkotsu was getting fidgety. He just didn't understand it. Why were they so overprotective of her? But then again, Sango wasn't one to sleep on the forest ground when there was a luxurious temple waiting for her. Perhaps something was wrong…
"Maybe we should go look for her." Renkotsu suggested. He was so worried he thought his eyeballs would pop out of his head, but he dared not show it.
"Good idea." Bankotsu agreed, getting up. "You coming Jakotsu?" he asked looking back.
"Nah, I'd rather stay here. You go ahead." Jakotsu yawned. He took a sip of sake and suddenly fell back, snoring as loud as possible.
"I guess it's just you and me then." Bankotsu said to Renkotsu as he headed towards the door.
Anger rushed through Renkotsu's body. He did not want to travel alone with his rival! It made it worse that they were searching for the girl they both liked.
He also envied Bankotsu. He had everything: great strength, great looks (according to the girls), and great personality hair. Renkotsu didn't have even one of those.
Yes, he was strong, but not nearly as strong as Bankotsu. Handsome. That was one thing Renkotsu never thought of himself as, and he was sure no one else thought so either. (A.N. you got that right o.O)His personality, he wasn't sure what to say about that. Unlike him, Bankotsu was funny, he had a very childlike personality, and he was sometimes smart. And hair. He had dreamed of having hair for as long as he can remember, but it was only a fantasy. (yes... a fantasy... NOT REAL!)
