Chapter 4- Kagome First Met Sango

This took place during season 1 episode 26 "The Secrets of the Jewel of Four Souls Revealed". Kagome first met Sango and took the Sacred Jewel shards and Sango discovered Kagome's locket.

A week went by after Inuyasha reuniting with Kikyo, and Kagome went home to get herself together, to stock up on supplies for the Feudal Era and to spend a week at school. She went back to the Feudal Era after she went to school, and went away from Kaede's village. She transformed into a green priestess soldier, and hid herself under a green-hooded cloak. Suddenly, she sensed the Sacred Jewel shard that headed to Sango's demon slaying village.

While Inuyasha and Miroku were creating a bonfire, Kagome went into Sango's hut without either of them noticing. She saw Sango sleeping and the Sacred Jewel shards that Shippo was protecting from the battle against Royakan, which Inuyasha decided for him to keep it for safety. She took the Sacred Jewel shards, and as she was about to leave, Sango woke up and saw Kagome's green-cloaked figure. She asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Kagome turned around to face Sango in person. Kagome answered, "I'm taking back what's mine."

Sango asked, "You're the reincarnation of the priestess fifty years ago. Who are you?"

Kagome said, "We haven't officially met. I'm Kagome, and you must be the newest addition of the group. Forgive me if I am wrong, but you must be Sango, am I right?"

Sango said, "Yes, but is this a dream?"

Kagome replied, "No, not exactly. I'm more real than I have ever been."

As Sango got up, she told Kagome, "Tell me what it's like. Tell me everything."

Kagome sat on the edge of her bed and said, "No. I don't know who said knowledge was King. It's an old fault probably, but he was right. I see everything now. I miss so much when I was here."

Sango asked Kagome, "Do you see Naraku?"

Kagome nodded and answered, "Everywhere I turn, and so do you. You all do. You, Miroku, and Inuyasha obviously, which speaking of which, I'm surprised that Inuyasha hasn't figured that out."

Sango said, "That's the Sacred Jewel on the palm of your hands. I got to warn you that Naraku would be after it. I'm positive. That's why I want to join your friends."

Kagome said, "I know because the Sacred Jewel was born here, so I've been told."

Kagome was touching the locket that her father left her, and Sango was looking at it. As she took the look, Sango said, "You have the locket of power. How did you get that?"

Kagome answered, "Let's just say I found it from my dad who left it in his possession, and was supposed to give it to me in this age, but he wasn't able to."

Sango replied, "Did it really happen about what happened to you, according to Inuyasha? According to him, they had a reincarnated priestess in the group, but mysteriously disappeared from this world and the world at the other side of the well? Were you the one who broke the Sacred Jewel into shards?"

Kagome looked up at Sango, "You're really coming around to catch up on the mysteries of me, while feeling hungry for revenge against Naraku, aren't you? I mean, the pain and the desire to have power from the Sacred Jewel…"

Sango interrupted, "Kagome, I need to know the truth."

Kagome said, "If I tell you the truth, you don't have to believe it."

Sango begged, "Please?"

Kagome said, "I was desperate to come to Inuyasha's aid if he hadn't got worse from his injuries the last time I was here."

Sango asked her, "How could you do that to him and the others? To me?"

Kagome answered back, "It was just a threat. I never abandon him because he abandoned me."

Sango asked another question, "Did Inuyasha hurt you?"

Kagome answered, "Emotionally, but not physically. Do I look dead to you? I am surprised that your cute cat can see ghosts like you can."

Sango was about to drink the herbal tea, but Kagome stopped her. Kagome said, "I wouldn't drink that."

Sango asked, "What do you mean?"

Kagome said, "Both Inuyasha and Miroku make the worse herbal tea, but they only knew that I make the best herbal tea."

Kagome got off of Sango's bed and was about to leave again, but Sango stopped her, saying, "Kagome, wait."

Kagome looked at Sango one last time before she leaves. She said, "You know I picked you, right? I know I can trust you to keep this conversation between us because you are like a new sister to me. Don't tell the others that I'm here otherwise they will come for me."

Sango asked, "Will I see you again?"

Kagome answered, "Only when you need me Sango. Only when you need me."

Kagome shut the draped door and left, but Sango immediately went after her, and found Kagome gone by the time she opened the draped door. Sango woke up from her rest, and found her hut everything it was supposed to be from her dream conversation with Kagome, except the Sacred Jewel shards were missing.

As Sango got out of her hut, she saw that Inuyasha and Shippo were having an argument about losing the Sacred Jewel shards as Miroku were trying to calm them down. When Sango came closer, she asked them, "What's going on?"
Inuyasha said, "Because of this little runt, he lost the Sacred Jewel shards."

Shippo replied, "I did not. It must've fallen out of my pocket when I was treating Sango's wounds."

Miroku changed the subject, "Will you two stop arguing? Now that Sango is on her feet, she should help us how the Sacred Jewel was created."
