Friday again. Thank goodness. Sango sighed, closing up her book as the clock hit six in the evening. Standing up, her demon slayer suit shining as she looked about. The western continent had somehow managed to get technology over to us, even if what had happened was true. Kagome had been just as shocked as Sango when they had emerged from the demon well three years ago. The bone-eaters well was destroyed and inaccessible. Inuyasha...was gone. Sango shook her head. So long...so long she had lacked his touch...
It had been three years. Inuyasha had loved her because she was strong. So she would stay strong, for herself, and for him. Demons had taken over this era. Well, not taken over. But they were still much more formidable than before. Now demons were tactful and smart. They were within government protection, all creatures were equal in Japan. Now, demons walked the streets, spitting upon humans and intimidating them, making them wince and laughing at the result. Half-demons in this era were detested, and seen as monsters.
Right now, Sango was in college. Buildings were still new age, technology was all the same. Or so Kagome said. But demons were here. It wasn't so bad. There was always the occasional demon/human battle. Oh, and apparently there had been some kind of invention called a 'gun' in Kagome's time. Well, not anymore. The demons had destroyed them all, seen them as a threat. So humans still resorted to their usual weapons, at least, usual for Sango. She placed her hand on her forehead, sighing. Time-skips were so complicated. How did Kagome manage to do it?
Sango lived in Kagome's house. In the basement, as she called it. Her mother had passed away a year ago from a demon attack, and her grandfather two years ago from old age. Her brother Souta was growing up quickly. Miroku and Kouga, as well as Shippo were there as well. But without Inuyasha, everything seemed dull to her. A large shadow blocked the light from her sitting spot under a tree, and she looked up. An ogre demon. Sango blinked once and tilted her head in a cute fashion. There were a very few number of demons who lacked speech, and this was not one of them.
"Yes?"
The ogre demon lifted it's clawed hand and clenched its fist, speaking with a gruff and echoing voice.
"Give me your currency, wretched human."
Sango slanted her eyes. A mugger? Worse, a demonic mugger. Like it was going to get anywhere. Sango was a demon too, y'know. Calling her a human was not acceptable. Sango's Hiraikotsu was at her house right now, and so she had to resort to the skills she had learned over the years. Sango got into a fighting stance and slanted her eyes, waiting the demons move. The ogre saw it as a threat and thrust its huge, slow fist at Sango. Sango lifted both of her hands and placed it atop the demons fist, pushing downward and spreading her legs.
She planted both of her feet on the demons arm and ran up the side of it's limb. As she neared its head, she leapt rapidly in its direction and raised her claws. The tips of her claws began to glow a bright lavender, and she spoke.
"Calamitous Touch!"
She swept her hand and her claws passed through the demons head. There were four long purple streaks in the air where she had swept as she landed behind the demon, bent down onto one knee. The ogre demon groaned in dismay as it fell forward, the gashes on its face began to glow bright lavender and it screamed, clutching its head as its skin began to burn and its insides began to boil. It spasmed for several moments, before bursting into clumps of dark red flesh. Sango made a soft 'hmph' sound and turned for home.
She began to bound towards her house, her speed and dexterity much like that of Inuyasha's. She was, after all, his mate. She was bounding along the sidewalk, nearing the Higurashi household. Kouga was probably there too, the disgusting...Kouga had gotten to this time by using a demon piper's magic. Only one demon piper had remained in the feudal era land, the mate of the one Inuyasha and Kagome had slew. So now Inuyasha had no way back. Sango shook her head. Don't think that way Sango. Just don't.
Sango leapt up the steps of Higurashi shrine, thirteen steps at a time. She hit the top of the stairway and sighed, her hair falling into place elegantly. She walked towards the door and opened it up, slipping inside and closing the door behind her. It was quiet. Everyone was probably out right now. Sango lifted her hand to her mouth and shook her head, yawning to relax herself. It was friday, and the last day of school. She was a college graduate, and apparently that was a good thing.
