Chapter 3
She woke up, in a bed in a room that was only occupied by herself. In someone else's clothes. And not the kind to go outside in either. Nor did Sango have to, for a woman about five years older entered her room.
"Where am I?" Sango immediately asked.
"In the healing houses of Minas Tirith," she answered.
"Who are you?" Sango asked.
"I am just merely a healer," she said, "I am Kreszentia Konstantin".
"Kreszentia...," Sango stated, thinking of how odd of name it was to her for a moment, "What happened?"
"There was a bright light and you and a woman clothed differently than you were there," Kreszentia answered, "I have no clue how you ended up there".
"Can I have some clothes?" Sango asked, "I don't think I should venture around in this night gown".
"Sure," Kreszentia answered, she temporarily left, and returned with a dress for Sango. "Here you go".
"Ahhh," Sango stuttered, confused, "I have never worn anything of this fashion, can you help me?"
"These often need two people anyway...," Kreszentia answered as she helped Sango into her dress. It took her a while, before getting dressed. Once Sango was dressed, she decided to go and exit her room, and went down the hallway, out into the garden. Kreszentia followed, along with two guards that were standing guard at the door. They were in shiny suit of armour.
"The other woman who appeared with you," Kreszentia stated, "Had awakened a three days before you".
"How many days have I been sleeping?" Sango asked, yet another question.
"A little over a week," Kreszentia answered, "It looks like she's out and about".
"Where is she?" Sango said, "I want to know who it is, I'll likely recognize her".
"Follow me," Kreszentia answered. Sango followed her through the garden, to the edge. Showing a view of the city, with many walls , and one huge wall on the edge of the city. A woman was standing there, with two guards behind her. Sango realized that it was her, even before they headed in her direction.
"Hello," Sango greeted.
"Hello," she answered, "I'd hate to be blunt, but..."
"Go ahead," Sango urged.
"Are you the young lady that unconsciously here appeared here with me?" she asked.
"Yes I am," Sango answered, "I'm Sango".
"I am Suzume Higurashi," she replied.
"Are you Kagome's mother," Sango asked.
"Yeah," Suzume answered, "You were one of Kagome's friends on the other the well? I remember Kagome telling me a couple stories where a girl named Sango was in".
"Yes I am," Sango answered. Not sure if she should be annoyed or embarrassed.
"Sango can you do me a favour?" Suzume asked.
"Sure...," Sango answered.
"Inuyasha never told me, and I want to know," Suzume stated, she hesitated, took a deep breath, her skin went white. "How did Kagome die?"
"I do not know how to explain this, but Kagome is... alive," Sango answered.
Suzume looked at her, Sango seen many emotions go through, she seen Suzume start to shake, bordering the edge of freaking out. "But... Inuyasha... Inuyasha said that... he said that Kagome was dead," Suzume muttered, "Why would he lie to me?"
"When he told you..., Kagome was dead..., she was," Sango answered, "She must of been revived somehow".
"You, don't know how?" Suzume asked.
"Nope," Sango answered, "I seen her alive battling Naraku, when I arrived there, and then her arrow hit the well, and that light hit the well".
"Kagome did this?" Suzume stuttered.
"...I guess," came a delayed reply from Sango, "Though I do not think anyone thought that whatever happened was possible".
"So...," Suzume wondered, "What do we do now?"
"We need to find out how to return to our world," Sango answered, "Kreszentia, have you heard about similar events happening?"
"No I have not," Kreszentia replied, "Why?"
"There are others of us that could of went through the same thing we just did," Sango answered.
"I'll go check up on it," Kreszentia replied.
"Kreszentia, before you go," Sango stated, "What happened to my equipment?"
"We have it in our armoury," Kreszentia answered, "You will have to ask King Elessar to get them back. The guards are under orders to not release them without his permission".
"You got to be kidding," Sango stated, "For what reason has he did that?"
She looked at Sango for a moment, "We did not know why you what you're actions afterward would be. We decided that we would hold them until we know you better".
"Where is he then?" Sango demanded.
"He's asked to see you when had awoken," Kreszentia answered, "Stay patient".
"Alright," Sango answered.
"I have other duties to attend to," Kreszentia answered, "I take my leave now".
"What about your King?" Sango stated.
"Don't worry," Kreszentia replied, "I'll be back for when you're supposed to arrive".
"Sango," Suzume stated, "How many of us are there, considering that there was me, and three of Kagome's friends beside the well."
"There were me Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha, Inuyasha's brother Sesshoumaru," Sango stated, and a realization hit her, "And Naraku".
"Naraku..., that's...".
"Yeah, that could mean big trouble," Sango interrupted, "Considering that Naraku's has hidden his heart somewhere in Japan, could that mean he somehow ended up here, but no power whatsoever... Or maybe it the well didn't allow him to end up here..."
"He hid his heart?" Suzume questioned.
"Yeah," Sango answered, "He has hidden it well to... to top it off, it could is the only way to kill him…, you can destroy his entire body, and he might have to retreat to recover, he will not die from merely that".
"It could be possible for his heart, to remain in Japan, and have Naraku here with all of his powers, can it not?" Suzume stated.
"That's the scary part," Sango stated, "And with Inuyasha and Kagome location are unknown it could spell any chance of defeating him non-existent. Let's just hope their together, they were side by side when they fought Naraku before the well acted up".
(A/N): I leaked more information about the story than I wanted to. There is events that occur before the spot I started the story, when I deliver it to you it could be around chapter 8 or 15. I don't really know where, I don't plan it out like what each chapter specifically gets. Not until just before I write the chapter I do that. Though that doesn't mean I don't add something if I think it'll fit. I am tinkering with the idea of putting after the 'final battle'. I do not think that I'll do that though (not unless someone flames me).
