Riza: I'm sorry, but this chapter is wicked sad!!!!! Read at your own risk!!!


The demon woman spun to face the child and reached her fist up.

"DON'T YOU LAY A FINGER ON MY SISTER!!!!!!" The eldest brother jumped in front of her as the fist lunged toward her.

"BROTHER!!!" She yelled, but it was too late, the fist connected with the boy's face making a sickening 'crunch' noise. The little boy flew backwards about 3 feet before digging his toes into the ground and crouching down, ready to attack even though blood was pouring freely from his nose and mouth. Luckily however, the little girl's yells had alerted her parents who rushed to the scene.

"GET AWAY FROM THEM!!" Miroku yelled, hitting the demon's head with his staff as Sango gathered the children together, picking up her oldest son.

"What the hell is going on out here?!" Inuyasha, very pissed off, yelled as he exited the hut and looked at the demon. He was dressed in the red, white and gold kimono which matched Sango and Miroku's and made him look powerful and not a force to reckon with.

"Are you Inuyasha?" The female demon asked, equally as pissed off.

"Depends who's asking, ugly." Inuyasha shot back.

"My name is Dunya Juri Abaran and I have come to kill the son of my half brother." She said and Inuyasha was dumbfounded. When he had talked to his father in his dream almost 10 years prior, he had assumed this Dunya would be a man, but the person in front of him was obviously female.

"Not today!" Inuyasha said, drawing the Tetsaiga.

"Ah, the Tetsaiga, I've missed the sound of such a sword against mine." Dunya said, drawing a long, black-bladed sword that had red designs all the way down it's edge. Inuyasha looked at it.

"I'll admit, that's a pretty cool looking sword, but it's nothing compared to my Tetsaiga!" Inuyasha said cockily.

"Just wait to see what it can do." She replied and attacked, running at him, sword up. He held up the Tetsaiga as she swung the other sword.

"WINDSCAR!" Inuyasha yelled and sent energy blasting at Dunya. She smiled.

"Roar, Gangkuru!" She yelled and swung her sword. Red energy surrounded the three trails of wind and seemed to explode, when the dust cleared, she was gone.

"What the hell?!" Inuyasha yelled. They heard sniffling and looked at Miroku who was holding Sango as she cried, holding her eldest son in her arms. Inuyasha and Kagome looked over, worried. The little boy had sustained the blow, but it had caused his brain to bruise, sending blood to his brain and it had killed him. He still had blood coming from his nose along with water. The other little children stood, dumbfounded, not knowing what to make of the situation. The youngest didn't understand and thought his brother was sleeping and was asking Kagome questions from his spot next to her. She lifted him into her arms and took him into the hut along with the other children as their mother and father mourned the death of their first son.

"Huren was a good little boy. He did what you wanted when you wanted it done without complaint. He never hesitated to help someone in need and he was always there to help…" Miroku stopped to take a breath, "he will live on forever, helping people all over Japan because that's what he was called to do. He was a great child in life and we will never forget the love he shared for his parents and his younger siblings." He said and moved to stand next to Sango who was crying. He hugged her, telling her it would be alright. Four village men lowered the small coffin into the ground and they, along with Inuyasha and the second oldest child, Chise, began to refill the whole with dirt. Chise cried as she buried her older brother, but remembered that she had to stay strong for her brothers and sisters so she put held in the tears as best she could. Kagome agreed to take the children home while Sango and Miroku stayed at the grave to pray for their little boy.

Sango leaned into Miroku, resting. She was tired after the two hours of crying. She let out a shaky sigh and Miroku hugged her shoulders. He kissed her softly and she closed her eyes.

"I want to go home, Miroku."

"Sure?"

"Yes." She said and he lifted her into his arms, carrying her home as she slept soundly in his arms.


Riza: Sorry it's so short, but I'm crying so I'm going to stop for now…
