Features: Hello my name is…(General thoughts/or diff. person talking)

Hello my name is…(Emphasize words/or talking)

Wake up. The voice on the other end was a little less then kind and I had every notion in my mind to ignore it. I slowly opened my eyes, angry that I had to look into his face once again. I see you finally choose to stop hiding.

I growled low within my chest, my body still aching. However that didn't stop me from pinning him on the ground with as much strength as I could muster. Who died and made you God? I hissed, angrily. Who gave you the choice to decide who to bring to life and who to leave dead Ice Prince? I did not ask for your help!

Sesshoumaru merely smirked at me but was just surprised as I was when a long like tentacle wrapped around my waist and carried me up into the air. I watched Sesshoumaru get further and further away from me and I wanted to scream, to lash out and cut this thing down to size but my heart had constricted and my lungs had failed me. From then on I did the only thing I could think of: I began to struggle, grabbing hold of the tentacles and digging my wanna be nails within them. That only earned me a tight squeeze and a smack to the face. Who the hell are you? I yelled, feeling the blood cascade down my lip.

The demon laughed. Did you honestly think that you could escape him? Jinx had such wonderful plans for you and you've tarnished them!

I growled deep in my chest. There was no way in hell that I was going back there. I was not going to watch Kagome's corpse any longer. This time I fear my heart might break. I watched in shock as Sesshoumaru's sword zoomed past my head and cut the tentacle that was holding me clear through. I fell through the air, my body turning with ease so I could look up at the demon. I heard it scream dangerously and I realized that I was so close to the ground…the speed at which I was falling guaranteed me a one way ticket back into the darkness.

I looked over at Sesshoumaru silently hoping that he would be able to catch me. Three, two, one… Counting eased my mind a little. I watched the ground get closer and in a feeble attempt to save my face I put my hands up over it. However I never hit bottom, suspended in time as it would seem. I guess it was fortunate for me that another arm had wrapped around my waist. In those few seconds I had I took the time to register my surroundings. There, right before me was my boomerang. Grabbing hold of it in the nick of time I felt my body being roughly forced back into the air.

Shoving my boomerang into the tentacle I felt the blow to my side as I hit the ground. I panted heavily as Sesshoumaru took up where I had left off. I didn't want to get up anymore. I wanted to just lay here and let him do all the work, however it wasn't in my nature to be such a pushover. I stood to my feet before hearing the loud scream of the little girl I had come to care for. I growled low within my chest and shot my boomerang. Hiraikotsu! I had not said that name in a long time, rather just choosing to fire the boomerang and get it over with. I caught Rin in my arms swiftly; letting the weight of the fall bring me to the ground.

I let the child cry into my chest as I smoothed her hair back. She was safe. Didn't she realize that now? There was nothing for her to fear and yet here she lay, still crying. This little girl was falling apart in the arms of the sanctioned and I…did not want it to be so. I heard the demon crash to the ground dead and I stood to my feet holding the girl to me. I had seen Sesshoumaru step forward and I handed Rin over to him instead. She was his problem, not mine. I still had to bury mine…He had taken the child from me with ease and cast me a glance as I walked away from them.

Dropping my only weapon on the floor I descended further into the forest. This place was where I had originally planned to bury Kagome's belongings, put them in the ground and just forget about the heartache all together. However, this was not going to be so. How could I have even thought of doing such a thing? How could I have even though of leaving her behind?

Kagome…I think I need you… Sweetheart, I think I'm foolish…

Do you always talk to yourself? Sesshoumaru's cool voice sent shivers down my spine and I sighed as I turned around to face him.

Don't be ridiculous. I muttered. Of course I don't…

Sesshoumaru cast me an almost callous glance and I was surprised to see an emotion other then nothing play across his face. If he would just smile, he would be ten times the beauty he is now. What is it that you think about so often Sango?

His voice was almost bitter, eager to cast my human emotions aside like he had done everything else. I smirked, leaning back against the tree behind me. Why so curious? I am only human remember…

Sesshoumaru shrugged his shoulders in his usual nonchalant way. You're right I don't care, but Rin does.

And what do you care about Rin? Is she not your human slave? Pardon me if I'm wrong but it doesn't seem likely that she would follow you willingly.

But I knew it was coming. As a matter of fact, the feel of the tree behind me didn't shock me in the slightest. I looked into his gorgeous golden eyes and smiled. Despite the fact that his nails were etching small scars into my throat. You don't seem to understand how luck you are Sesshoumaru. Five days ago I watched your brother die and just days before that I did the same with mine. You can not fully comprehend emotions like love or compassion because I have yet to see you cry a single tear. So please…forgive me if I am wrong…

And then I let exhaustion carry me away. Willingly and happily.
