Hey guys, another chapter up.

Hours had passed and the faintest rays of light cut through the darkness. The thick fog that had formed the night before seemed to have rolled away. Sango stood taking a long stretch in front of the dying embers of the fire. She hadn't gotten any sleep. Whether it was the fact that she was staying with complete strangers, the constant damp feeling or her unruly thoughts, she didn't know. She looked around the campfire, at the three still sleeping. As the sun rose, she could finally see the people clearly. They certainly looked like they were from faraway lands. They did seem well armed as well; two of them wielded swords and the girl seemed to have chackrams hanging from her bag.
'They really aren't too smart though, are they? Not leaving someone awake to be a nightwatch... Though I was awake...'

She thought. Kirara awoke with a small yawn. Stretching, she leaped onto Sango's shoulder, snuggling closely to her. Smiling, she looked into down the road. Her smile faded seeing that she hadn't traveled very far at all. There was still a long way to go. She looked down as one of the people stirred awake; she noticed that it was the man that spoke so crassly the night before. She now saw that his dress was flamboyant like his personality. He sat up, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Ahh, well, that wasn't the best of sleep..."
He said hoarsely. He opened his eyes and squinted at the light. He could see who it was now.
"Now that's a good sight to wake up to!"
He said, excited.

"Um, excuse me?"
Sango replied, she really couldn't think of anything else to say to this man. He shook his head sadly.
"Why don't you give a friendlier response?"
He asked, Sango looked around to the other two who were just awakening.
"Well... All you really told me about yourselves are your names... You're... Lloyd, right?"
She asked. Zelos looked horrified.
"No, no, no!!"
He exclaimed, quickly getting to his feet. Before she knew it, Zelos had an arm around Sango's shoulders, which made her reflexively tighten her grip on her weapon. He was pointing to the boy in red still half-asleep. He was a mess in the mornings.

"That brute you see over there is the one called Lloyd."
Lloyd shook himself awake, glaring at Zelos.
"Hey, what did you just say about me?"
"Anyways, Sango, my quiet beauty, where were you off to last night?"
Zelos asked, getting uncomfortably close to her. She shrugged away from the man, and replied,
"I'm traveling with my friends and I was returning to them after taking a short trip back to my village."

"Oh! You must introduce me to these friends of yours!"
Zelos said loudly.
"If they were half as beautiful as you, I would die happy."
He continued. Sango was immediately silenced. There could not be another guy who resembled the monk more. Shaking the image of the two meeting out of her head, she said,
"So what are you doing here? You said you weren't from these lands?"
She asked. Lloyd, Collette and Zelos glanced at each other; it wouldn't be a story that could be paraphrased.
"Well, it is a long story, you sure you want to hear it?"
Zelos asked. Something told Sango that she should listen from the serious tone he had just spoken in.
"O-okay..."
She replied.

"Do you remember a time a while back when the sky turned purple?"
Lloyd asked. She nodded,

"It was a strange sight. Do you know what caused it?"
She asked.

"That purple light from the sky... Was another planet."
Collette said.
"It was the end of our long journey..."

In a miasmic area of the vast forests of the land, there was a blood curdling scream of a dying demon. With it's last breath, it cursed the one that cruelly ripped it's limbs off one at a time. With one strike, however, it was all over. The bloody claw that ripped through the chest of the demon extracted a small fragment of a jewel. Not a droplet of blood had stained it. With a low chuckle, he held the fragment, and added it to a much larger piece of the jewel it broke off of. He knew that the only pieces left were held by Inuyasha and his annoying group. He now had the chance to finish them all off once and for all, and he knew failure was near impossible...

Inuyasha awoke with a hiss; his shoulder was still in pain. It wasn't as bad as before, but it still hurt. He heard a familiar voice call out to him.
"Inuyasha, you're awake!"
He turned to see Kagome kneeling beside him. He sat up angrily, and asked,
"And why are you so late?"

With a frown, she replied,
"I'm not late! It just took me a little longer to prepare everything again."
She said, pointing at her monster of a bag that had just recently been fed. He sighed,
"So you ARE late then."
"No I'm not!"

"Hey you guys, quit arguing! I'm trying to sleep he- Hey, Inuyasha, what happened to your arm?"
Shippo asked, pointing to the bandages.
"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask, what happened?"
Kagome asked, helping him sit up.

"It's nothing big, just something attacked me last night."
"Was it a demon?"
She asked. He shook his head,

"No, it was a half-demon. A really strong one."
"A half-demon? Why would a half-demon attack you?"
She asked, and Inuyasha responded with a shrug. Shaking her head, she decided to change the topic.
"Did Sango return yet?"
She asked.
"Come to speak of it, no... I guess she needs a little more time in her village."
He said, getting up from his futon. Miroku had already gone out to do his morning prayers.
"I hope she's alright..."
Kagome said,
"She's fine."
He said confidently, opening the door and looking outside. It was a much better day than the the previous one.

"... And in the end... We had to destroy his exphere, ending his existence..."
Lloyd said, his voice fading away. Sango could tell that it was quite a painful thing to say. She couldn't believe what she had just heard; how there were two worlds that had just been formed into one, how there were human beings turned into lifeless beings and how these people had been the ones to save the whole world, all without the knowledge of most of the people who lived in it such as herself. She was speechless; she didn't know whether it was a serious tale, an exaggerated tale, or a lie altogether. She was most of all surprised that fate had lead these people travel with one of her old friends, Sheena Fujibayashi. It was the part told her that the story was no lie, it really had happened.
"Sheena... Where did she go?"
Sango asked in the moment of silence. The three looked up at her, eyes wide.
"How do you know my hunnie?"
Zelos asked,
"Y-your... Hunnie? You're in a serious relationship with Sheena?"
She asked in disbelief. She couldn't tell what was more farfetched. Their story, or his claims of Sheena being his 'hunnie'. He merely chuckled.
"Hah, well, you could say that."

"Sango... She is an old friend of mine... We visited each other's villages a long time ago."

The threes' eyes widened again.
"Are you... Are you the last demon slayer?"
Lloyd asked, standing up.

"Yes... I am."

"Wow! What a coincidence! Sango, Sheena had left our group after we visited your village to try and find you!"
Collette said clapping her hands in realization.
"A girl wielding a weapon larger than her? I see it now!"
Lloyd exclaimed. In Zelos' mind, all he could think about was how Sheena said Sango wasn't too pretty. He immediately had a smug expression. It was also him that didn't believe her. The great Zelos' instincts about women never did lie. She was a beauty.

So there's the chapter. Please review. Please.
