Chapter 4: Osamu, the man from a previous life

Sango woke up feeling a deep dread rising in her. She slowly opened her eyes to find that all she could see was darkness. She started to panic until she caught a faint, pale light coming from a corner of the room she was in. She slowly got up to her feet and started to head towards the light feeling her way around, being careful not to stumble on the rocks she could feel were laying on the ground.

` I must be in a cave of some sort, but how did I get here?'

Sango kept walking towards the light until she was a few feet away. She could now see that the light was coming from some water that was in a carved rock that looked like a giant cup.

` What is this?'

Curious, she took a step closer and found herself looking into the water at her reflection. Then the water began to ripple as if she had dipped her hand in it, and the next thing that appeared in the water sent icy chills down her spine.

In the water see saw a hanyou, his eyes red like blood, his once soft and beautiful silver hair, matted with blood and twigs, his red clothing ripped in many places and his once gentle face looked fierce and bloodthirsty.

` Oh Kami is this Inuyasha? What happened to him, what the hell is this thing?'

Sango started to back away from the water but she felt some kind of force keep her where she stood. In the water it showed Inuyasha killing many human villages and then the picture turned to a scene that made her blood freeze. There in the glassy water laid Inuyasha his golden eyes opened, now lifeless and unseeing, and there she stood, looking down at Inuyasha with a victorious smile on her face.

Sango watched stunned as the Sango in the mirror bent down and closed Inuyasha's eyes and then turned and left, laughing happily.

“ No…. what is this thing, what was that?” Sango said horrified at what she had just witnessed.

“ Ah Sango I see you don't like what destiny has in store for you.”

Sango spun around and found herself face to face with a man that she thought she would never see again.

“Osamu what are you doing here? I thought you were dead.”

“ So did everyone, I am now reborn, and I want my revenge on those who took my human life.”

“ Human life, aren't you still a human?” Sango asked, confusion laced in her voice.

“ No.” He simply said and stepped closer to her, where she could now see his red eyes and unnatural fangs.

“ You're a demon!”

Sango got down into a fighting position now uneasy about being here.

Osamu laughed and then took a step closer and passed a hand over her body. Sango was confused and then she felt herself get dizzy. Right before she felt herself drift off to sleep she remembered what had happened between Oborozuki and herself a couple of days ago and the connection to what the vision in the water had shown her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Flashback*

Sango felt cold and empty inside when the first rays of sun touched her. She knew she was back in camp, she could hear the light snores coming from where Shippou usually slept. She could also feel the slight warmth next to her, which meant Kirara was sleeping next to her.

“Your awake.” A deep voice said startling her out of her thoughts.

Sango sat up and looked over to where Oborozuki was sitting, his back against a tree.

“ Yea,” she said as she hung her head looking back down into her lap. “ Did you bring me back here?”

He nodded and gracefully stood up his sword in hand

“ You will follow me.” Sango stared up at him in surprise.

Seeing her expression, his face softened and he came over and leaned down.

“ I have need to talk to you, that is all,” He gently laid a comforting hand on her trembling shoulder. “Do not fear me princess.”

Sango slowly got up and followed him. He led her into the forest and before she knew it she was in the familiar clearing that Inuyasha trained in.

“ What are we doing here?” she asked confusion lacing her voice.

Oborozuki did not reply but he turned back towards her, his golden orbs slightly warmer.

“ Sango I am slightly aware of what has happened between you and Inuyasha and I know what you are trying to do.” Sango watched the ground tears starting to form in her eyes. “I do not understand why you insist on taking this course of action, will you not let things be as they should be and be happy with Inuyasha?”

Sango looked back up at him, letting a small smile grace her lips at seeing the slight confusion in his eyes.

“ Oh Oborozuki things are so complicated, I love him, I always have…. But I made a promise long ago to someone I really loved… and I broke that promise and I let him die. I can't let that happen again.”

Oborozuki stepped closer and studied her face closely. He could see the sadness in her features. He could also see that her brown eyes were hollow, nothing but pain and heartbreak shown in her eyes. He could smell the fear in her and the determination.

“ What do you fear?”

Sango's eyes narrowed in surprise but she let an unsteady breath out and slowly sank to the ground.

Oborozuki sat as well his golden eyes still studying her features.

“ I fear losing him, I fear that what I've done will never be forgiven, I fear… myself.”

She let out a sigh; she felt her spirit lift slightly at finally being able to be honest and tell someone what has been troubling her mind for a long time.

A frown marred his perfect features; his eyes gazed into hers with an intensity that she feared.

“ I will tell you my thoughts on this matter, do not speak until I am finished, I wish to make you understand how foolish this whole matter is.”

Sango opened her mouth to protest but his eyes cut into her own with a warning clearly present in them. She snapped her jaws shut and sat waiting for him to begin.

“ In my travels I have learned a great deal about you and your group. I know that, that thing named Naraku massacred your people, I know he had control of your brother and I know he tortured you with this power he had over you. But I also know that your brother is now in peace. I understand that you would want revenge for the deeds this Naraku has done to you, but what you are doing now is not needed. Do you not understand that what you are doing might be exactly what he desires you to do? By pushing Inuyasha away and denying your heart I can see that you suffer greatly and so does Inuyasha, I think even more so then you.” Oborozuki stopped and watched her as she struggled to understand all that he was saying.

“ I don't want you to deny your mate any longer….”

` He's not my mate.” Sango said.

Oborozuki narrowed his eyes and before she could react she felt herself being lifted off the ground by a clawed hand clamped around her neck.

She choked out in surprise and struggled to get air to her burning lungs.

“ Did I not tell you to not interrupt me? You are very strong willed for a human…. But you are not able to listen very well, not even to the truth.”

He scoffed in disgust and threw her down onto the hard ground. He slid his sword out of its scabbard and disappeared.

“ Sango I did not wish to have to use force but you give me no choice. If you do not accept the fact that you are Inuyasha's destined mate then I will not hesitate to use my sword against you.”

Sango listened in stunned silence as she heaved in great gulps of air.

“ I thought you were my friend?”

Oborozuki appeared in front of her, his eyes softened to deep amber, reminding her of Inuyasha

` Wait…. He looks so much like them…. Could he be….'

Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

“ Who are you?”

Oborozuki drew back in surprise and then he smiled slightly.

“You are sharp for a human, I admire that in you, as I guess does Inuyasha. I guess you can say I am related in a way to him.”

Sango got up and came closer her hands planted on her hips, her anger rising.

“ How the hell are you somewhat related to them? And what the hell was all that about, you said you were loyal to me why now the sudden change in heart?”

“ Sango…. I am not the enemy, I just wish to help you realize the grave mistake you are choosing to make, Inuyasha will not be able to live without you by his side, his youkai side has already chosen you as his mate and if you do not stay with him he will start to slowly die from the inside out.”

Sango gasped in surprise, her eyes clouding over with fear.

“ What do you mean? Will he die?”

Oborozuki sighed softly and turned his back to her.

“ In a way he will, you have already started the process, his scent is already starting to change, I can smell the decay starting to grow in him. A youkai especially an Inu Youkai is very loyal and dedicated to its mate. If his mate is not with him or denies him once his youkai has accepted her as a mate, then they will not be able to live and they will start to become wild once again. I know you have seen him in his full youkai state, that is what he will become, but much worse, he will not be stopped by a simple command, he will destroy even thing in his path even you if need be. In the human sense he will go insane and eventually you will have no choice but to kill him.”

“ Oh Kami… what have I done!”

Next Chapter:

“ Inuyasha we cant find Sango she disappeared last night!” Kagome cried her face tight with worry.

Inuyasha immediately felt dread start to pool in his stomach.

“ Sango's gone? Who was the last one to talk to her?”

“ That would be me.” Oborozuki said while he stood up.

Inuyasha immediately felt anger start to bubble inside him.

“ What did you tell her?”

“ I only told her what she must do to correct her wrongs nothing else.”

Inuyasha took a hold of Oborozuki and threw him against a tree trunk.

“Where did she go?”

Oborozuki watched him calmly.

“ I do not know.”
