A/N: This is somewhat of a sequel to Married under a crescent moon. But this story really portrays Sango, Inuyasha's, and Miroku's side of the story before they meet up with Sesshomaru and Kagome to collect the Shikon No Tama

Jewel shards.

Chappie # 1

A temporary host

"Kohaku! no…" yelled an anguished Sango as she reached out to grab Kohaku's shoulder. He pulled free from her grip and ran away from her, away from the village. There are just to many painful memories that reside with in their home. Their mother and father died, now he and Sango are alone. He had to get away, just for a little while.

Sango sank to her knees watching her brother's figure disappear before her. She couldn't think why her brother would want to run off. She was the only person that he had left. He was the only person she had left. She hoped that he didn't think that she would let him get away that easily. No matter, she would give him time to think and cool off before she went to get him, he deserved at least that much.

Sango stood up and dusted herself off. No use making a fool of herself by groveling in the dirt. She turned and started home to put out fresh flowers for her parent's graves. She forgot to lay them out this morning.

She could remember the first time her parents found her. She was but an orphan wandering about in the forest after a large fire that burned down the orphanage. Her best friend Kagome rescued her from the fire and was lost and engulfed with in the flames once again, she mourned at the loss of her friends life but crying did nothing… When she was wandering through the forest she was attacked by a large crow youkai. When she screamed that's when a man and woman found her. They fought off the demon and then took her home with them. They decided to keep her then on, and after a year she began to call them father and mother. The greatest gift they gave her was her otouto. Every day that her mother's belly swelled a little bit larger she would always hope she would name her baby brother. And she did name him.

Kohaku ran as fast as he could in to the forest. He stopped by a river and bent over to catch his breath.

"Why, Why did my parents have to die? They're demon exterminators for Kami sake! They should have gotten rid of those neko youkai easy, now I will never finish my training." thought Kohaku. Though he did admit that his sister was the next best exterminator in the village after their parents and that she could help him his training.

Kohaku sat under a tree a while as he thought about whether to return or not. He had to go back anyways, he left without his weapon. Ever since he was young he had always trained with a sickle as a weapon. He's lucky that he didn't run into any youkai so far. They over run this forest. Besides it's getting dark. Kohaku got up and headed toward the village where he knew that his sister would be waiting for him with open arms. He was somewhat shocked that she hasn't come looking for him by now.

"She must have realized that I needed sometime to think." said Kohaku quietly to himself.

But unknowing to Kohaku he did catch the interest of something very powerful that night. It may not have been of physical being but it was surely of an evil essence. That essence belonged to Naraku.

"Ruling the western lands and looking for bodies are a tiring task… this boy is a perfect specimen," chuckled Naraku, "he has seen no more than 14 summers, when his 15th comes his blood and body will be ripe for the picking and then I can take permanent residence."

Naraku couldn't keep track of this boy for all the days that are to come so he decided on what he should do next. First he had to destroy the boy's home so he had nothing to go back to. Then his memory would be erased. "Don't want to have the trouble of rebellion, using this boy as a puppet for now should be satisfying." Without Kohaku knowing it, Naraku's powerful essence swooped down and quickly planted a tainted shard with in the back of Kohaku's neck

"What the…"

Why am I so sleepy all of a sudden? I got to stay awake in order to get h…

Kohaku tried his best to stay conscious. But the harder he tried the sleepier he became. It wasn't long until Kohaku's mind was pulled into darkness

What does Naraku have in store for him?

Sango was done putting fresh flowers out for her parent's graves. After a quick prayer she stood up and left to go wait at the entrance of the village for her dear Kohaku. As Sango waited she spotted two men making there way to her. She squinted her eyes to see. One was a monk and the other was obviously a hanyou. With a village full of youkai slayers she doubted that the hanyou would cause much trouble. But just in case she tightened her grip around her Hiraikotsu which was a large boomerang like weapon. She leaned on it a bit and watched the two males approaching her village. They were getting closer with each step. Before she could greet them the monk kneeled in front of her and smiled. She blushed at his touch.

"He certainly is a handsome one…" thought Sango.

"May I have the honor of you baring my children?" was the first thing that came out of the monk's mouth.

Sango's face flushed several colors of pink and she gave him a scowl before she gave two hard knocks to his head. While the monk's friend was hysterically laughing, Sango stormed away.

"If you greet any other woman in this village like that, they will give you twice as many lumps that I have given you! You are lucky, I'm one of the nice ones!" Sango yelled over her shoulder.

"The nerve of that man…" Sango huffed.

Though she secretly liked the attention that man gave her. She was never asked to bear the child of any man before, not that she would but it was nice to know that a man has found her attractive. All through her life her parents have always told her that she will never acquire a husband because of her aggressive behavior.

The monk sat on the ground dumb founded and rubbing his head while he watched a firm body walk away from him.

"That's what you get stupid, I told ya one day that some ones gonna get ya if ya keep doing that!" laughed Inuyasha.

"Yes I have heard Inuyasha, but I never expected that a women would inflict so much pain on me, no matter, playing hard to get only increases my libido." sang the monk as he strutted off to the village, hot on Sango's trail.

By the time both Inuyasha and Miroku had caught up to the woman he had many lumps on his head. Sango turned around and glared at the man. But she had to feel a little sorry for the monk. Never had she seen a man take so many beatings to the head and still be conscious. Her glare softened.

"I see that you did not heed my warnings, you have made enemies of many women now, I suppose…" said Sango suddenly finding her finger nails interesting.

"Yes, I suppose, though these lumps came from many of the men who's women I hit on… eh heh heh heh, I came to apologize for my earlier behavior." said the monk seriously.

"Your apologies are excepted," Sango chided.

"Excuse me but we're looking for a demon named Naraku, have you heard of him, Inuyasha said that he can smell his scent surrounding this village."

"No I haven't…" but before Sango can make any other comments the ground started quaking.

Miroku turned around and Inuyasha did the same. What they saw was an awful sight.

A large hoard of youkai started attacking the village for no apparent reason. Before they could turn around and tell the women to hide she was already in some kind of suited armor. She jumped high into the air and threw her weapon. It pierced through 20 different youkai before it turned around and landed back into the wielder's hand. "Hiraikotsu!" she yelled again as she attacked another on coming hoard. She was knocked out of the air and fell to the ground. She then called upon a fire neko name Kirara who transformed into a larger version of it's self to bring it's mistress into the air.

The battle is taking longer then she expected. She looked around and saw that the two men were helping her village fight. The hanyou had called upon a weapon, which she heard him call a Tetsaiga. And the monk had the strange power of sucking demons into a void that he held within his hand. She would ask him about that later. As she began to scan the grounds of littered bodies she was glad that her little brother wasn't here this time. She and her brother were pretty much the only people in their village that were alive now. But what was this? Down on the ground she spotted some one who must have lead the youkai to her village. It was obvious, he was yelling out commands. But he was nothing but a little boy. A little boy who seems to look too familiar. Sango flew down on her fire neko to have a closer look.

"Kohaku!" cried Sango out in surprise.

"How could you?" sobbed Sango's racking body. But this was no time to cry. Her whole village was being slaughtered. But her little brother always came first. She jumped down in front of him and grabbed him by the shoulders. She shook him furiously and stared into his eyes. She backed away in shock from only seeing dark black orbs staring back at her. They were no longer the twinkling brown orbs that she came to admire so much from their childhood.

"What happened to you Kohaku?" whispered Sango.

"I am no longer Kohaku!" it sounded as if two voices were speaking at once, one was a child's and the other was of a grown male demon, "But since you asked so nicely sister dear, behold the sight in front of you, I have come to destroy this village of demon slayers and you are the next to go!" pointed Kohaku.

He swung a chain sickle at her and gashed her right arm open and she was bleeding profusely. Sango grabbed her arm and tried not to wince in pain. He swung the sickle at her again but she dodged it and wrapped her hand around the sickle chain that she grabbed from him. She wasn't going to attack him, she just couldn't hurt her baby brother.

"Who are you?" Sango called out angrily.

"Why I'm a demon named Naraku…" an evil chuckle escaped him lips.

Sango's mind raced back to the earlier events when the monk asked her about this demon named Naraku. Some how he has taken possession of her poor brother.

"Naraku? Did you hear that monk?" asked Inuyasha.

"Sadly yes, we mustn't hurt the vessel that he has temporarily taken refuge in, it seems that the boy is that woman's brother." said the monk.

"Yeah, yeah what ever!" said Inuyasha as he jumped out in front of Sango and slashed his sword downward. He hit Kohaku and Kohaku fell backwards and into the ground.

Naraku was aware that Inuyasha, the hanyou who has been chasing him for a while, would surely kill him and he couldn't lose the vessel that he was using as a puppet. He needed this Kohaku child and this woman who stood behind Inuyasha seems to care a great deal for this boy. He will find a way to use that against Inuyasha.

"What the hell are you doing Inuyasha, what did I tell you!" yelled Miroku as he rushed up to the hanyou's side.

"Ah shut it!" said Inuyasha as he prepared himself for another attack.

"He is only a puppet in Naraku's game, you can't kill an innocent child Inuyasha." The monk smacked Inuyasha in the head to have his point be seen.

"Yes mother…" mumbled Inuyasha mockingly at the monk.

The puppet looked back and forth between the bickering men and smirked at his sister who stood frightened. Naraku knew that this woman would aid him in his escape. He couldn't stick around any longer because he knew that Inuyasha would destroy his host if he didn't leave.

Suddenly the boy whimpered and called out towards his sister with a fake frown, "Help me Sango!"

Sango turned her face to her brother and saw the look displayed on his face. It was a look of pure terror. Her little brother looked scared. She knew that her little brother didn't attack their village on purpose. She can forgive him. She gave him a small smile showing him that every thing was going to be alright. He gave her a strange smile back. She couldn't think about that now, she had to think about the hanyou who intended on killing her brother. She grew angry at the hanyou and attacked him.

"Don't you ever touch my brother!" she screamed as she lunged forward at the hanyou.

A/N: Reviews reviews! Give me reviews! I must say though, if you didn't read Married under a Crescent moon then I suggest that you read that story after this one. The two stories kind of tie together into this one huge plot.
