[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

 

Half way back to the room that held their friends, Sango and Miroku met up with a rather grumpy looking Inuyasha, who looked to be deep in thought.

 

“What cha' thinking about?” Sango asked as she stopped in front of him, Miroku standing next to her.

 

“Sango, can I talk to for a minute?” Inuyasha asked to change the subject. When Sango and Miroku had left, Kagome had insisted on going after them and wouldn't take no for an answer, until he had offered to go for her instead, thus the reason he was there, and this also gave him the perfect opportunity to ask Sango what had happened three days ago.

 

“Sure Inuyasha, what do want to talk about?” Sango said as she looked at him curiously, wondering what he would want to talk to HER about.

 

Inuyasha looked around the hallway and noticed that a few people were trying to listen in on there conversation. “Maybe we should take this somewhere a little more private.” He said as he started to walk towards a room that he knew was empty.

 

“Wait, Inuyasha. Can I come along also?” Miroku asked as he and Sango followed after the disgruntled hanyou.

 

“What? Oh, sure, why not, this conversation affects you also, anyways.” Inuyasha replied as he led them into an empty room and locked it behind them.

 

Sango and Miroku looked at each other in confusion then turned to look at Inuyasha. What would he want to talk to Sango about that effects Miroku also?

 

“Inuyasha, what is this all about?” Sango finally asked after a minute of silence passed.

 

Inuyasha looked at both of them briefly then sat down, Indian style, on the floor. “Maybe you guys should sit down for this.” He replied, making them worry more about what he wanted to say to them, but none the less, they followed suit and sat, Indian style, on the floor as well.

 

“ok, Sango. I wanted to ask you about…. I …err...wanted to know if you could tell me...umm …” He started but for some reason he just couldn't bring himself to ask.

 

“Go ahead Inuyasha, you can ask me anything you want and I'll try to answer, ok?” Sango said as she smiled reassuringly.

 

Inuyasha nodded his head as he went on. “Sango, I want to know what happened three days ago.” He blurted out.

 

Miroku turned to Sango and looked at her expectantly, he had also wanted to know what happened to them that day, but Sango only stared at them blankly.

 

“Sango?” Miroku said as he intertwined his fingers with hers, hoping it would give her some level of comfort.

 

Taking a deep breath and flashing Miroku a small smile, Sango began telling them the events of the nightmare that had come true.

 

“After you guys had dropped Rin, Kagome and I off, we walked to our house. With every step that we had taken, Kagome started to shake more and more the closer we got to the house. When we got there, we finally understood why. We heard a crash from inside the house, and thinking that our father had finally snapped and hurt Rin's mother, we ran in.”

 

“Wait, what do you mean, finally? You mean to tell me he hadn't hurt her before?!” Miroku asked in shock.

 

Sango smiled sadly and nodded. “No, He had and has never hurt her. He loved her to much, if he was angry, he would just take it out on my sisters and I...well more like, on Kagome.”

 

Inuyasha growled at that. “What do you me by that… he would single her out?!”

 

“No, he would go after who ever crossed his path first, but Kagome would always try to defend us and would end up getting the attention put on her…”

 

“Why would she do something as stupid as that?” Inuyasha growled at her.

 

Sango glared at him then. “She didn't do it because she was stupid, she did it because she wanted to protect us!!” She yelled at him, angry that he would say something like that about her sister.

 

“what do you mean `she wanted to protect you' how could she protect you when she was hurt?! And you guys are more than capable of protecting you selves!!” Inuyasha yelled back.

 

Tears started down Sango's face as guilt over came her. “You don't understand, Inuyasha.” She said in a calm voice.

 

“Of course I understand..” He started but before he could finish his sentence, Sango stood up and towered over him.

 

“How could you ever understand what we were going through, you, a boy born to a rich family that actually loves you!! You have no Idea what it was like to live our lives!! Constantly afraid of every move we made, afraid that it would make him angry and hurt us!! No, not afraid that he would hurt us, afraid that he would kill our sisters!! We were all afraid!! We didn't know what to do Inuyasha!! We were trapped!! If we told anyone then we would be hunted down and killed by one of his stupid goons!! If we left, he would send someone after us and have them drag us back, and then he would beat us within an inch of our lives!! And he did Inuyasha!! We tried to escape him so many times, but he always caught us!! He always caught us!! And no one even cared!! They saw what he would do, but they didn't care!!” Tears now streamed down her face as she stared down at a stunned Inuyasha and Miroku.

 

“You're right, Sango. I don't understand what you went through, and I'm sorry for trying to make you feel bad, but I am trying to understand what you guys went through. It just hard for me to understand how someone could be so cruel.” Inuyasha replied, as both Sango and Miroku stared at him in shock.

 

Inuyasha never apologizes!!

 

Sango took another deep breath and sat back down in front of them. “Ok, Inuyasha, apology excepted.”

 

After a minute of silence went by, Miroku decided to break the silence. “Sooooo… Shall we continue with the story of what happened three days ago?” he asked.

 

“Only if Sango is comfortable enough to.” Inuyasha replied as they both looked at said person expectantly.

 

Sango sighed heavily. “Ok, where was I..um.. oh yes, Well when we heard a crash from inside the house, we ran inside to make sure Kayori was ok only to find Kayori the one trying to hurt our father, She was throwing anything she could at him..”

 

“Really? Why?” Miroku asked.

 

“She was made at him for making us fight in his gang fight, and he tried to lie and tell her that we had insisted on going, but she knew he was lying, and told him that she couldn't take his crap anymore, then she grabbed Rin and walked out the door. It took us all a second to realize what she was trying to say before we all followed them outside. Our dad ran up to her and begged her not to go but she just pushed him away from her, got into the car with Rin and drove off. I ran after them at first but when I heard Dad yell something at Kagome and punch her, I came back to see what was going on. He was blaming Kagome for Kayori leaving him, just like our mother leaving was her fault.”

 

“Wait, how could it have been Kagome's fault? I thought you guy's mother was dead?” Inuyasha asked in confusion.

 

“Well it turns out that our mother wasn't Kagome's real mother at all, as mater of fact, Naraku wasn't her father either. It turns out that he had killed Kagome's real parents and he was going to kill Kagome but our mother claimed the same thing Kagome had claimed over Shippou, on Kagome.” Sango replied sadly.

 

“Ok, but how does that make it Kagome's fault for your mother's death?” Miroku questioned.

 

“Well, when a person claims Himotoki over someone, that means that they have taken that person under their responsibility. Meaning anything that the claimed does wrong, the claimer has to take the punishment for them, and Kagome told on Naraku and his gang, and the penalty was death…. So… so, he had to kill my mom…” Sango cried out the last part.

 

Miroku immediately pulled the crying girl into his lap as he embraced her to him as he rubbed her back reassuringly.

 

“But I don't get it, why would Kagome do such a thing?” Inuyasha asked, saddened that Kagome would be so selfish.

 

“She didn't know!! She was only a child when it happened, she was only 6 years old when she told on them!!” Sango cried. She knew she couldn't blame Kagome for what happened to her mother because she knew that she had loved their mother very much, and would have done nothing that would cause her harm if she had known it would.

 

Not sure what to say next, Inuyasha said the next thing that came to his mind. “What happened next?” He asked quietly.
