Naraku's eyes burnned with fury as he slammed his fist down apon the table in his chamber. "That ungreatful halfbreed... Who does she think she is? I'm the ruler of this kingdom..." There was a knock on his door. "Who goes there?" His simple, yet most loyal soldier walked in. Without taking a glance, Naraku spoke. "What do you need Miroku?

Miroku took in a sharp breath. "My lord, the one called Kohaku has escaped. What are your orders?"

Naraku gave out a fustrated sigh. "The fool... following in her sister's unthought footsteps..." He stood from his chair and contiued. "I want you to find the boy... and once you do..." a grin grew on his face. "I want you to kill him..."

Miroku's eyes went wide. "B-But with all due respect, Lord Naraku, he's just a mear boy... Surely there's some other type of punish ment that you can give him..."

"No." Naraku glanced out the window. "I want to teach that wench a lesson never to be forgotten... She will suffer for what she has done... Inside and out..."

Miroku's head sunk low in regret and pity. "I... understand... Good day to you..." He took his leave out the door, leaving the evil filled chamber behind. Miroku leaned against the wall outside in the hallway, whispering to himself. "I cant do this... There's got to be something I can do..." He shook his head and continued his way down the empty hallway.

The day went by quickly as night soon began to take it's place. Kagome lightly brushed her hair in the mirror. She gently placed down her brush, and looked at her reflection. The images of Sango came rushing in. "That girl... She's not that much older than me..." She walked over to her bed, slowly laying herself on it. She gazed at the ceiling. "I... I cant stop thinking about her... She's so brave to stand up to those guards. I'm thankful in a way. I didnt even Bonkotsu to begin with." She softly giggled to herself. "And she's really beautiful... I wonder how she ever ended up in a place like this..." A sudden feeling rang within her. Kagome caught herself. "W-What am I doing? I should stop thinking about this... but... It feels..." She got up from her bed. "I need to..." She walked out the door.

Soft steps rang through the hallway as Kagome made her way to her desination with lantern in hand. Soon, she arrived. "Here it is..." She slowly brang up the key, and placed it in the lock of the door. Giving the key a twist, the door creeked open. Kagome crept down the stairway, the light of her lantern showing the way. She then finally made it. She glanced through the flame's light, and saw the sleeping hanyous. "Sango..." her name found it's way through her lips, and slowly faded into a quiet echo. Kagome's hand gripped the cold steel of the gate that was blocking her from the one that was always on her mind.

Sango was on the ground, in the same position Kagome's father had left her. Kagome could have only imagened how uncomfortable she must have been. Then something truck her. "Where's that boy..." She looked around. She found Inuyasha shoved into another cell right next to Sango's. "Hm... Father... You're so... cruel..." The urge was rising. Finding every ounce of courage, Kagome slowly placed the same key into the cell's lock. Twisted, and an unlocked loud echoed through the night. She pulled the cell gates aside. The metal scraped against the ground, causing irritation to Kagome's ears. The gate was wide enough for Kagome to fit through. She entered, trying not to awaken the defenceless girl. Kagome kneeled beside Sango, gazing down at her lumbering face. "She's... so peaceful... she looks as though she wouldnt harm a fly when she's asleep..." Kagome then positioned herself, then gently placed Sango's head on her lap. She smiled to herself as Sango unwillingly snuggled herself against Kagome's warmth. Kagome placed her hand on Sango's face, softly rubbing her surprisingly soft skin. Kagome bit her lip. A temptation filled feeling overwhemling her. She brought her head down near Sango's. Her breaths where sharp and quick.

Kagome placed Sango back down, and quickly made her way back to her chamber, closing everything left open. Through the dark, Sango opened her eyes. Her face heated up, and a light blush line ran across her face. She brang her hand up to her cheek, and touched the lightly moist area. "Whoa..." she whispered with a hint of happiness in her tone. "... She kissed me..."
