Chapter 6: Jakotsu's Discovery

Jakotsu shivered as he walked down the street. "Keh, this is what I get for taking a 'shot walk' on a crappy day!" he mumbled while sniffling.

A loud shriek filled the air, followed by silence. "What the-" Jakotsu froze in his tacks when he saw Miroku and some of his pals leave an alley. Jakotsu waited for Miroku to be out of sight before he peeped into the alley.

His fears came to life. He almost shouted with anger when he saw her. She was lying on the ground with many scrapes and bruises, and her arm was bleeding.

Jakotsu slowly approached her and knelt down beside her. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. Her eyes were filled with sadness and fear. Even so, she smiled weakly at him.

"Sango, what did he do to you?" Jakotsu asked, more to himself. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. Then he gently lifted her into his back and began walking home.

He shivered. Sango was soaking wet and her skin felt like ice. He sped up, knowing he had to get her warm and fast.

When he finally got there, he ran up the porch and kicked the door, since he couldn't use his arms.

Renkotsu swung the door open and opened his mouth yell at him, but he closed it instantly when he saw what was on Jakotsu's back. He closed the door behind Jakotsu and went to grab the first aid kit.

When he came back, he also had some blankets and a warm change of clothes.

"Where's Bankotsu?" Jakotsu asked as he took the clothes from Renkotsu. Then he twirled his fingers to signal Renkotsu to turn around.

Renkotsu rolled his eyes and turned around. "He and Suikotsu are still at the dance," he replied with his back facing Jakotsu.

"There, all done. Let's bring her to the fireplace. Get the blankets," Jakotsu ordered as he moved Sango by the fireplace. Renkotsu handed him the blankets and he laid them over top of her.

"Ak! Renkotsu, can you bandage her arm? I don't know how and I have to… to… PEEEEEE!" he cried as he sped off to the bathroom.

Renkotsu blinked and turned his attention to Sango. He took out the bandages and began wrapping her bleeding arm. He also put a patch on her cheek, which was bleeding.

Sango slowly opened her eyes to a warm, welcoming fireplace. There were also warm blankets wrapped around her. She turned on her side and gazed into the fireplace, trying to remember what happened.

Flashback

Sango was walking down the street, when suddenly she was pulled into an alley. Sango yelped as she hit the ground. When she looked up, she cursed her luck. It was Miroku and his punky friends.

He smirked and held up his cell phone. "We're having family issues at home dear. We need you home right away!" The other guys howled with laughter as Sango's eyes widened.

Miroku's face turned serious as he grabbed her wrist and yanked her to her feet. Fear filled her eyes. "M-Miroku?" she whimpered. "What are you…"

Miroku said nothing. He once again lifted his fist, and struck her face. She gasped in pain and brought her hand to her cheek. Some blood dribbled down her cheek.

He grabbed her wrist and twisted it so she fell to the ground. Tears filled her eyes. He kicked her a few times she yelped in pain at each one.

With her eyes clamped shut, she felt Miroku take her hand. Suddenly she screamed at a sharp pain. Her eyes shot open and she saw a bloody knife in his hand.

Her eyes traveled down to her wrist that was bleeding. She clucked it quickly. Her vision became blurry, and she passed out.

When she opened her eyes again, Jakotsu was beside her. She smiled weakly and fainted again.

End Of Flashback

A tear rolled down Sango's cheek as she sat up. "What a jerk. He was always cheating on me, and then when I dump him and date someone else, he freaks out!"

Sango wrapped the blanket around her shoulders and sobbed quietly. Why is everything getting so complicated? Why is all this happening to me? she asked herself.

Jakotsu came into the living room. "Man that was the longest pee I ever took- oh, hi Sango!" he said quickly. He frowned when he noticed her shoulders trembling.

"Hey, cheer up. Everything will turn out OK in the end!" he said happily as he knelt down beside her. "Do want something to eat?"

She nodded, but still kept sobbing.

OK, I'll get you something!" he chirped. "RENKOTSU GET SANGO SOMETHING TO EAT RIGHT NOW!"

Sango couldn't help but giggle a little. She wiped the tears from her eyes. Renkotsu came out with some soup. He placed it in front of her, mumbling something about Jakotsu being lazy. Then he declared that he would watch some T.V.

Bankotsu and Suikotsu came home about an hour later. Bankotsu was surprised to see Sango sitting in front of the fireplace. He walked over and sat beside her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asked.

Sango looked away. "N-nothing!"

"Sango?" Bankotsu leaned over to see her face, but she turned so her back was facing him. They heard a honk outside.

"That's my dad. I got to go. Thanks Jakotsu," she shouted as she stood up and left, not even looking at Bankotsu.

Bankotsu looked over to Renkotsu, who was sitting on the couch. "Is she mad at me or something?"

Renkotsu shrugged and Jakotsu hit him on the back of the head.

"No, Oo-aniki. Sango isn't mad at you," he said glaring at Renkotsu.

"Then why wouldn't she talk to me? She didn't even look at me!" Bankotsu asked. Jakotsu thought for a moment. "Jakotsu?"

Jakotsu seemed to snap out of his gaze. "Huh! What?" he shouted looking around. "What were we talking about? I wasn't listening…"

Bankotsu rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt tired. "Whatever, I' going to bed. G'night!"

Sango sighed as she switched hands to carry the bag of milk and other groceries. She was lucky that she was even allowed to go out. Her dad did not approve but her mom persuaded him.

Sango stopped dead in her tracks when she heard her name being called by a familiar voice. She turned around and winced Bankotsu was coming towards her.

He finally caught up with her. "OK, what's going on?" he asked suspiciously. "You've been acting really edgy."

Sango looked at the ground and continued walking, he followed. "Nothing's wrong Bankotsu, really."

"Who are you trying to fool? Something's up that you're not telling me!" He sped up and stepped in front of her to stop her. "Tell me the truth- what's that?" he asked, pointing at the bandage peeking out of her sleeve.

Sango gasped and covered it up. "It's nothing! Just a scrape that I got-" He cut her off by pushing her against a wall. "Hey, let go!" she shouted.

Bankotsu, who had her pinned against the wall, slowly rolled up her sleeve to reveal a bandage. His eyes traveled up to her face, then to her hands, and her other arm.

"You didn't have that yesterday, or any of those scrapes," he said. His eyes shot back to hers. "Did Miroku do this to you?" he asked through gritted teeth. Tears streamed down Sango's cheek, but she didn't answer. "Did he?" Bankotsu shouted.

Sango slowly nodded. To her surprise, he wrapped his arms around her tightly and held her close.

"He'll pay for this," Sango heard Bankotsu whisper. Bankotsu broke away from the embrace and said he would be back.

"Wait Bankotsu! Stop! What are you going to do?" Sango called after him, but he was already gone.

Sango sighed and sat on a bench. She shivered at all the things Bankotsu could do to Miroku. She wouldn't be surprised if Miroku ended up in the hospital!

Some music playing interrupted Sango's thoughts. She smiled. It was Christmas music. She loved Christmas holidays. It was supposed to be a happy time of year.

"So maybe a few things have gone wrong. That doesn't mean this holiday can't be good one, right?" she asked herself.

When Bankotsu came back, Sango gasped and ran over to him.

"Bankotsu, are you OK?" she asked worriedly. He had many scrapes and bruises like her. She placed a hand on his cheek to get a closer look at his scrapes.

"Yeah, I'm OK," he replied. He smiled and pecked her on the lips. "I know you probably don't like it, but I beat up Miroku. In case you haven't already figured that out…"

Sango sighed and shook her head. "Are all guys this reckless?"

Bankotsu chuckled a bit and wrapped an arm around her. "Hopefully Miroku won't bother you anymore."

Sango nodded. "Oh, I almost forgot! Christmas is coming up you know."

He nodded. "And?"

"And my family is going to a Christmas dinner. I'm allowed to bring my boyfriend with me. Do you want to go?" she asked cheerfully.

"I guess I don't have a choice do I?" he joked. Sango laughed. "Yeah, I guess. I don't have any other plans this holiday."

"Really?" Sango asked. "Not even with family?"

He shook his head. "Nope. My mo died and I dunno where my dad is."

Sango clutched his arm tighter. "I'm so sorry! Well, you and your brothers can spend Christmas with us if you like…" She looked up at him.

He smiled. "That would be great."
