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

I looked down at the sleeping woman before me. It had been many years since I gazed down upon this face and would be perhaps many more till the time came again. The fire cast an overshadow upon her angelic face and I sighed. This is not becoming of you Sango, Taijiya of the village. I jumped in surprise at her words, having assumed that she was sleeping. This was the act in which I always caught her in. I supposed it was somewhat of a guilty pleasure of hers. I smirked down at the raven haired beauty.

No, I suppose it isn't.

I watched the Gypsy sit up into a more comfortable position and try to rid the kinks out of her neck. Since when did you become a spy anyway? The Gypsy questioned.

I smiled softly at her. I am no spy Sinner, you would do well to remember that. The Gypsy before me never ceased to make me smile, or in some odd way make me calm. There was just something about her. Despite the stud in her nose and earring that had required her to put seven holes in her ear she was beautiful beyond comparison. Why she had not chosen a mate was a surprise within itself.

Sango, this is the second time that you have come to me. The first time you were seeking a fortune but I can see it in your eyes. This time you come seeking something much more valuable.

I smiled and let my hands run through my hair. You never cease to amaze me. You are, as always, correct.

I do try. The woman swung her long hair callously over her right shoulder and let it fall upon her lap in uneven intervals. I could slightly see the belly button ring shining brightly against the light of the fire.

Why so many shiny things? I questioned.

She smiled over at me and in a serene and way shrugged her shoulders. They are a reminder and nothing more. Tell me Taijiya of the village, what it is that you would like from me? I have a long day ahead of me in the morn and wish to sleep as soon as I can.

Ah, but you sleep all day! I am surprised that you are even tired.

The woman smiled wearily. Come now Sango I grow tired quite easy. Please, tell me what it is you need.

Well I thought what with you being a gypsy would know.

Not all gypsies use magic Sango. I would prefer not to meddle in such affairs. I can easily sense your presence from miles away, you're just unique. There is nothing special about that.

I shrugged my shoulders in a poor attempt at an apology. I suppose I'm just stereotypical. I sighed and sat down beside her. I knew that asking her to help me destroy her brother was not going to end in a pleasant conversation. While the two ultimately hated each other they were connected in a way that me and mine would never be. In an odd way I suppose I envied them. It's about your brother Sunari. I need your help.

The gypsy took in a deep breath and exhaled. You know that I do not support you in these actions Taijiya and so I am afraid there is little I can do to help you.

I had a feeling that you were going to say that. I also know that even if I tell you Kagome has died at his hands that you would still be resistant.

You're right and I'm truly sorry to hear that. She was a special girl that Kagome but I can do nothing to help you. I wont take part in the death of my brother. I am sorry Sango.

I sat there is silence for a moment, contemplating and gathering my thoughts in a feeble attempt to get them to make sense. The voices that I had been struggling with sense the death of my friends were coming back at me full force. Full of I love you and sweet nothings. The things that I had come to miss dearly. I heard Sunari sigh beside me.

I can help you Sango. There is a treatment that I can give you. If you want those voice to go away then you should let me do so.

I picked at the skin on my fingers and sighed. I do not want them gone Sunari. I just want them to be quieter. I like it when they talk to me. They are kind.

Then you will suffer. They will not do as you wish. They are poltergeists of your tortured friends and while they may be kind now they will not always be that way. When the pain, fatigue, and stress become to much come to me and I will help you.

I laughed within myself. How can I expect you to do that? You can't even help me with my problem now.

Sango put yourself in my shoes for one second. If I had come to you asking for your help to destroy your brother would you? No, so lets not make me feel guilty when you wouldn't do the same for me.

I wouldn't help you kill him no, you're right but my brother was not evil willingly. You're brother is a monster and it beats the hell out of me that you can just sit here and defend him.

But you're wrong Sango. Our brothers had a lot in common whether you choose to see it or not. I'm sorry that my brother hurt you and killed Kagome. Inuyasha must be just as hurt as you are.

I let out a soft breath. How could I have forgotten about Inuyasha? Am I so wrapped up with Kagome that I could just forget everyone else? Can I really be that selfish? I let my head rest in my hands. They are all dead Sunari. No one survived but me by the grace of the devil.

I do not believe the devil would have helped free you. I believe you are to be mistaken.

You're right, but Kikyou might as well be.

And the woman smiled and I could no longer hold it back. Laughing never felt so good to me.
