Sango sat on the bed in her room while Sesshoumaru poured a strange liquid into two glasses. He had said this potion would link their minds, and together they would unlock her mind. He had also warned her that it could be dangerous, for the visions could be so dramatizing, it could cause her mind to separate from her body. Sango didn't care, she had nothing to loose, for it all had been lost already. Sesshoumaru walked over to her and handed her a glass.

"It all starts now," she said.

"Are you afraid?" he asked.

Sango stared at him. "I've never been afraid but once."

They both drank and layed down on the bed. Sesshoumaru took hold of Sango's hand and started to chant a spell in an unknown tounge. Sango closed her eyes and felt her mind start to tug at her body. Then she felt like she was drowning. She couldn't breathe at all! She couldn't hear or see, nothing but darkness and void. Then a voice called out to her.

<"Do not fight it! You try to breathe with your body, but we are within your mind. Do not use your physical senses, for they are useless. Let yourself expand beyond them.">

Sango allowed the pull to take her away and she found she could breathe once more. She opened her mind's eye and saw Sesshoumaru standing before her. He spoke, but his lips didn't move.

<"Here we must communicate telepathically. Are you all right Sango?">

<"Yes, I'm fine. Where are we?">

<"These two gateways symbolize your memories and your lost memories. Up until now, the gate to your lost memories have been locked. Are you ready to go beyond it?">

Sango nodded and Sesshoumaru began to chant again. The dark gate opened and both were pulled into an empty void. The darkness started to take shape into a forest. A harvest moon hung in the sky, illuminating the event that was taking place. Demons of the darkness were gathered together in front of an alter, four dark flames at each corner. All bowed before it, chanting words repeatedly. The head of them carried a baby to the alter, then raised his deformed and decayed hands over the darkened flames.

<"What's going on?"> Sango thought. <"Who are they?">

<"These are the demons from hell, and they are performing a ritual of great importance. You see, the King of these Demons was locked away for eternity by the Gods, but he vowed that his work would be finished by his child. But this child would not be born of the underworld, but by humanity.">

<"A human? But why?">

<"The Gods took great pride and joy over their human creation, so the Demon King thought what better way to seek revenge than to cut to their hearts and have man, their own joy, turn against them.">

<"That's insane! So this is the ritual?">

<"Yes, when it is over the child will become the Devil's Child.">

Sango's heart wrenched as she heard the baby's screams. The leader chanted louder and the flames gave their own darkness to the child's body to absorb. The baby screamed louder with a voice not its own. A dreadful shriek of death resonated the trees of the forest and then all went calm. The leader took hold of a necklace with a glowing jewel and placed it around the infant's neck.

<"Impossible!">. thought Sesshoumaru with wide-eyes. <"That's the Shikon No Tama!">

<"That's the sacred jewel?">

<"It's beginning to make sense now.">

A roar was heard within the forest and a neko demon leaped out and attacked the Shadow Demons. Sango gasped in suprise to see it was Kirara to kill them all. Kirara turned to see the infant on the alter and took hold of the basket it was in, and bounded off.

The sceene then changed and Kirara walked up to Sango's father, hunting in the woods. He was about ready to fight her, but Kirara stopped him, speaking to his mind.

"Wait!" she exclaimed, "Do not harm me! This child is in need of care. Please take her."

Papa looked at her carefully, not knowing whether or not to trust her. However when the young child looked up at him with those brown eyes, he couldn't help but smile and hold her. "Where did you find this child?"

"I rescued her from a clan of demons. They won't come for her, I've killed them all."

"Why did you rescue her?"

"Because my kittens were stolen from me, much like this child was taken from her family. And I couldn't bear it to happen again."

"Thank you. My wife and I wanted a child for so long and you have given us this joy. I will name her...Sango..."

<"What?! That's me?!"> Sango thought with horror. <"I'm the Devil's Child?!">

<"Do you see why you have demon blood in you? The seed of darkness was planted in you at infancy and only with the Shikon Jewel can you harness your true power.">

<"So...the family I knew..wasn't my own.">

The sceene changed once more when her father was speaking to a Miko. The girl looked vaguely familiar.

"I entrust that you will keep the Shikon Jewel safe," he said. "We cannot keep it here, for my daughter recieves a dark power when near it. You are the only one who knows that secret. Since we now have a newborn son, I cannot allow for any accidents."

"The Shikon will be kept safe," she said. "In return you will be our allies in fighting the demons."

"Yes, and with Sango's gifted abilities, she will prove useful. Sango!"

"Yes Papa!" came running a six year old Sango.

"This is Kikyou. She will be keeping your necklace for a while."

The young Sango held the necklace tight to her chest, reluctant to let it go. "Promise to take care of it? It's my favorite thing."

"Yes, I promise."

The young Sango gave the stone to Kikyou and the miko left. Time then seemed to be frozen.

<"So I had the Shikon? And I had met Kikyou!">

<"Yes, that's strange,"> commented Sesshoumaru.

<"What do you mean?">

<"Kikyou died 50 years ago.">

<"What?! But I was...how could that be? I'm still young and when did those 50 years pass?!">

<"You mean to tell me that you have absolutely no recollection of 50 years of passing?">

<"No! This doesn't make sense!">

<"Perhaps we will learn more.">

Time flashed forward and Sango was the age of seventeen. She stood outside one of the storehouses with Kirara sitting on her shoulders. A look of terror crossed Sango's face as she looked at her former self. Sesshoumaru noticed this and questioned it.

<"This was the night...my villiage and family...I don't think I can do this! Let's go back!">

<"No! You cannot hide from the truth, Sango. I am here with you. You can do it.">

<"Sesshoumaru...all right.">

Suddenly a wave of explosions errupted and it seemed that fire itself was raining upon them. Sango sent Kirara to help the villiagers while she rushed to her home. To her horror it was set in flames and it exploded, causing her to fly quite a distance away. She cried out in pain at the burn she felt on her back. She staggared to her feet, in search of her father and brother.

She found Kohaku slamming his fists against a demon who held their father in the air by the throat, jabbing his sword in and out of his limp body.

"Let him go!" Kohaku demanded. "STOP IT!!"

"Get back Kohaku!" Sango ordered.

<"I can't see his face!">

<"Remember!"> Sesshoumaru pressed on. <"Think back!">

Sango concentrated hard and the shadow became lighter then recognizable. She gasped in suprise and horror. It wasn't Naraku! How could this be?! Sesshoumaru also was suprised. It was Inuyasha!

<"But this doesn't make sense!"> She thought. <"Why would Inuyasha-">

<"It's as I said before. Inuyasha is a crook wanting the jewel to become an all powerful demon. He gave you Naraku's name to throw you off, being he has his own personal grudge against him.">

<"But why don't I remember this?">

Inuyasha dropped her Papa's body to the ground. "Ningen!" he exclaimed now grabbing hold of Kohaku. "Tell me where the sacred jewel is!!"

"Sango!" Kohaku exclaimed.

"Let Kohaku go!" Sango ordered.

"I'll consider it if you tell me where the jewel is!" he said again.

"The jewel isn't here!"

"Liar! The jewel origionated here! Now where is it?!"

"I told you'! I don't know, it's just not here!"

"Wrong answer!" he snapped as he broke Kohaku's arm. "Now tell me!"

"NOOO!" she cried. "STOP IT!!"

Kohaku cried out in pain as his arm went limp at his side. Inuyasha held him tighter and tighter, and Kohaku started to change colors.

"I'll give you another chance, ningen! Where is it?!!"

"I-I don't know! A long time ago a miko named Kikyou took it!"

"Where is she?"

"I don't know!" Sango cried out, her tears running in rivers feeling completely helpless.

"Wrong again!" Inuyasha growled as he broke Kohaku's leg.

"KOHAKU!!!"

Inuyasha dropped him on the ground and stabbed him repeatedly. Kohaku cried out with each blow and Sango's heart broke. His body soon grew limp and just layed there drowning in his own blood next to Papa, and still Inuyasha stabbed him.

<"I don't remember anymore after this,"> Sango thought, her own river of tears flowing silently.

"That's IT!" She suddenly exclaimed, her eyes turning dark. "ENOUGH!!!"

Inuyasha looked at her, puzzled as to this sudden change. Sango's eyes darkened to black with red filling her iris, piercing like a blade. The shadows changed and in a shriek not her own, launched a heavy wave of ki attacks at him. Inuyasha stood stunned as the ki scorched his skin, trying to eat at him, a pain worse than acid. Just as this change occured, her inner demon vanished. Inuyasha stood amazed while she knelt on the floor.

"Impressive," he said, struggling to catch his breath. "You know you'll pay for that. And while I punish you I'll have some fun."

Before Sango knew she was pinned against a tree with Inuyasha pressing his lips roughly agaisnt her. She tried to break free and bit him, and he drew back, his lips bleeding. He tied her to the tree, arms stretched out to either side of her as he began his assult on her body.

"STOP IT!!!!!" she screamed.

Inuyasha punched her several times in her face, and her lip split, causing a trickle of blood to run. He growled at her while squeezing her breasts, hard, making her cry out in pain! She struggled but was stopped by another punch and ripping her top open revealing her breasts. He suckled them, but tweaked them hard and she cried out in anguish. He opened his robes and revealed his groin and positioned himself.

"I dare say," he whispered harshly in her ear before biting it. "that this WILL HURT WORSE THAN HELL!!"

And he rammed himself in her, Sango crying out in complete agony as her maidenhead broke. He brought her legs around him, clutching her buttocks as he continued to pound into her non-stop.

"Remember my name, ningen, that you may forever tremble whenever it is spoken. That you may forever be struck with fear at the mere whisper of it. That you may remember this night for all eternity and know that whenever I feel like it I will return to you. Remember my name....Naraku..."

Sesshoumaru starred in disbelief at this event. No wonder she had blocked her own memory! He looked at her, her fists clenched and tear stained face.

<"No...no more...NO MORE!!">

And both were flung out of the spell and Sesshoumaru hit the oppisite wall of Sango's room. How did she do it? He looked to see her hovering over the bed, her eyes dark like in the vision. Her inner demon was awakening at her anger. Dark energy surrounded her, causing an electric ki flame to surround her. She held her head in her hands and cried out in that shriek that was not her own. Sesshoumaru quickly said a subduing spell and the ki vanished; she collapsing on the bed. He went to go to her, but her harsh words stopped him.

"Go away! You've done enough!"

"Sango-?"

"I SAID GO!!!" she shouted through tears.

"All right then..." he said softly and left.

Sango cried and cried. It was all true! She was part demon, no she was the fortold Devil's Child! Everything she had done the past three years was in vain. She was seeking to destroy an enemy that was her own self. She prayed for mercy and forgiveness from the Gods, and begged her father and brother to forgive her for her failure. She also cursed her Papa and Kirara for not telling her the truth about her identity. Now she knew why she felt outcast in her villiage. They were afraid of her.

She still couldn't believe that she had blocked her own memory. Inuyasha had raped her. No wonder when she next awoke she felt something sore, and empty within her. And to think she spent all that time with him and he knew who she was and probably laughed and mocked her behind her back. And to think Kagome and Miroku were involved as well! He had never loved her, but was only distracting her thoughts away from Inuyasha. He would always be that lecher going from woman to woman.

Her cries of anguish continued, her heart becoming encased in darkness with each passing moment. She vowed revenge against her former comrades and would once again gain peace of mind. She knew that revenge was a path twisted and dangerous, but she had been walking down it for so long, it was the only way she knew how to live. She was already broken and tainted, so this life of trechery was the only option left open to her.
