Chapter 10: Tales of the past

There on the floor lay Sango. She was bleeding from her right arm.

"Sango! Are you alright?" I could see tiny glass shards sticking out from her arm.

"Yeah.. It just hurts a little." Sango seemed fine.

"What happened, Sango?" I helped her out of the room, making sure she didn't cut her foot on any of the glass.

"The mirror busted when I closed the cabinet. Shitty glass!" Sango walked to the bathroom and sat on the closed lid of the toilet.

I walked in after her and found a pair of tweezers. I crouched down next to her and began looking at her arm. The shards weren't embedded too deep, which was a relief because that meant I could heal her myself.

"This may sting a bit, San." I told her as I took the tweezers and pulled out the shards.

I set all of the shards inside of one of the plastic cups Sango used to rinse her mouth with. After I was done removing them I used my healing powers to fix her arm.

"Thanks a ton, Kagome." Sango smiled at me.

We began walking back towards the laundry room. Sango grabbed two brooms and gave me one. We swept up all the glass and threw it in the garbage can outside. We grabbed the blankets and made our way back to Sango's room. We fixed up the bed I would be sleeping on and Sango crawled into her own bed. We lay there watching Squidbillies on Adult Swim.

"This is such a great show." I told Sango.

Sango and I both pulled out our own laptops. I had brought mine from home. I logged into Facebook. I had a few notifications. The very first one was a picture of Sango's cut up arm.

'Lol, cut up my arm on an exploding mirror. - with Kagome Higurashi'

The caption made me laugh. I decided to comment.

'Thank god for Mikos, right?!'

I heard Sango laugh from her place next to me. I put away my laptop and looked over at Sango. She and I had become extremely close. We had only known each other since August and it was just becoming early November, but I felt like I'd known her for ages. I knew I could tell her anything.

'Should I tell her about my past?' I contemplated the thought.

Sango noticed I was staring at her and looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Is something wrong, Kagome?" She sounded so concerned.

"Can I talk to you about something..?" It was barely over a whisper, but somehow, Sango still heard it.

She nodded her head and moved to sit in front of me. She grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes.

"Kagome Higurashi, I've told you since day one.. I will always be here for you. You are my BEST friend. I don't just say that to people.. You know that I don't like to get attached, but you and I share a connection. Please, Kagome, tell me anything you've been keeping from me!" She pulled me into a tight hug.

I saw that she was holding back tears. Sango was my best friend, too. She deserved to know.

"It's about my family.. and my life.." I whispered to her.

Her eyes widened before she looked away.

"If you'd like... I can tell you about my life story first..?" Sango offered.

I could tell her past was a touchy subject as well. I nodded and she began.

"Well..." Sango began.

(I'm going to cut to Sango pov and tell you her story.)

SANGO POV

I'm Sango Taijiya. I'm 17 years old and a Junior at Shikon High. I've attended the Shikon Schools since forever! I was born into a demon slayer life. Both my mother and father were demon slayers and they passed on the life to My brother Kohaku and myself. I used to go on missions with my father and mother when Kohaku was still too young to battle. It was the day my mother got me Kirar, my demon cat, that my life changed forever.

I was 13 years old. My mother had just gifted me with Kirara. She was to be my battle partner during all of my missions. I absolutely adored her! My mother, father, and I just got a call about hundreds of demons attacking a neighborhood. We left as quickly as we could. When we arrived it was horrifying. Demons were everywhere. I was so distracted by my fear of all the demons that I didn't see one sneaking up on me. My mother saw it, however. She threw me out of the way and took the hit from the demon herself.

"MOTHER!" I screamed and ran to her side.

She was covered in blood. Tears were pouring from my eyes. My mothers eyes were blank.

"Sango... Are you alright?" She asked me in a distant voice.

"Mom.. I'm fine.." I told her in a choked voice.

I grabbed my mothers hand and it felt cold.

"I'm so.. glad.." She smiled and tears started flowing down her bloodied face, "I love you, baby girl. Take care of Kohaku for me, will you? Oh and tell your father and brother I love them as we-" Her voice stopped and so did her tears.

Her hand fell from mine.

"MOM?! MOM PLEASE WAKE UP!"

I felt my father grab me from behind. He threw me on to Kirara despite my screaming.

"NO! DAD! MOMMY!" I was screaming as Kirara flew away.

A few days later we had a funeral for my mother. I decided I would become the strongest demon slayer there ever was, just for my mother.

Kagome Pov

Sango was in tears as she finished her story. I was crying with her. I pulled her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Sango. I'm so sorry.." I whispered in to her ear as we hugged.

After a few minutes I proceeded to tell her my story.

(If you don't know the story, it is in chapter 3.)

I finished my story and was bawling my eyes out. I'd never told ANYONE about it before. Sango was sobbing as well. She was hugging me so tight I could barely breathe.

"I'm so sorry, Kagome. I'm sorry life is so hard for you and Souta. I had no idea.. I-I-I wish I had known... We could have helped you.." My pain made Sango cry.

I shook my head.

"No San, you've done enough for us. I can never repay you." Sango and I fell asleep crying and hugging each other.

Well that was chapter 10! I might begin work on the next chapter tonight. It will be about Sango and Kagome's day while they ditch school.

Please leave me a review or a message.

THANKS

XOXO SYDNIE
