InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Sango ( Chapter 13 )

Kagome was running along a wooded trail. She didn't know where she was exactly going, but her instinct told her that she was closing on Inuyasha's position. She was so intent on finding him that even if someone were to rob her she wouldn't care. Every now and then she'd get lost in herself and trip over a rock or an animal or something. But, Kagome's travels were about to come to a stop.

While running down the road, she saw another man. He carried a bow and arrow with him... he was nothing special. Just a simple travelling archer. She past him, but her attention was brought back to him. The archer let out a horror filled scream. When Kagome turned around, she saw the man was severed in half at his torso. And the cause of this was a gigantic boomerang which was spinning violently in Kagome's direction.

Kagome luckily dodged the boomerang by jumping off the trail and into the forest. After the boomerang was out of sight, she thought to herself, "Only one person has a boomerang like that..."

"Reveal yourself!" screamed a familiar voice.

Following this call came a familiar person down the road. It was Sango.

"Where are you!" hollored Sango.

Kagome noticed this was Sango and hoped that she was horribly mistook for someone else by Sango. She hopped onto the trail and said, "Wait! It's me!"

"There you are!" said Sango. "Now hold still while I kill you!"

Kagome who'd be expected to be confused was not... she was used to all the unfamiliarity that she faced that she knew something was wrong.

Sango threw her boomerang at Kagome who dodged it again.

"Why are you avoiding me?" asked Sango.

"Sango! Please! Stop!" yelled Kagome.

Sango stepped backwards and cast an angry face at Kagome. "Where did you hear that name?" she demanded. This was more of a rhetorical question because Sango threw her boomerang right after she spoke.

Kagome dodged the projectile once more. She realized there was no getting through to Sango and thought it was time to defend herself. She remembered that man had a bow and arrow... and she recalled him carrying what looked like a small katana.

Kagome darted back down the trail towards the severed man to gather his defenses. Unfortunately, a throw from Sango's boomerang knocked Kagome off her feet by skimming her leg. She was only a few feet from the man when she heard Sango yell "Kirara!"

Kagome grabbed only the knife when she felt a foot on her arm. She glanced out the side of her head and saw Sango standing next to the bigger form of Kirara.

"See you in the next life," said Sango as she unsheathed her katana.

Sango was only moments away from beheading Kagome when Kagome gathered her strength and lunged off the ground and onto her feet, stabbing Sango only inches from her heart.
