InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Sango's Mission ( Chapter 15 )

"Kagome... I'm sorry," said Sango.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault," said Kagome as she comforted Sango.

"It's just that, I was so hungry... I had no money and no one would hire me. That was until one night, I was thrown out of a small eating place... they said they couldn't except my money for some reason. They picked me up and threw me into a pile of dirt..." Sango began to cry a bit. "But when I got to my feet, I was startled to see a strange man in black standing a few feet from me... he looked like a monk but had a certain feeling to him that didn't feel so welcoming."

"Scary..." said Kagome.

"His eyes were grey and his hair was black... but when he spoke, he seemed friendly enough. He said 'It appears you need some money.' I didn't care that he looked 'evil' that's how hungry I was," Sango said. "'I will pay you to do a certain deed for me' he said. 'There is a girl causing me some problems and I would much rather see her dead.' He then handed me that drawing of you."

Kagome was fearing what she heard. Someone wanted to kill her, but she knew not their motives.

"What was this man's name?" asked Kagome.

"He said his name was... Rinkatsu, I think. I asked him where to find him to get paid.... and he said he'd find me." Sango's words were uneasy.

"This man... I've never heard of him before yet he wants me dead," said Kagome. "Perhaps..... he is responsible for what is happening!"

"What?" asked Sango.

"First, we forget we ever met and now some man I've never heard of wants to kill me! It's as though I shouldn't be here!" said Kagome.
