Afterthoughts

 

 

 

Inuyasha sighed, lying on a table. After their little battle to get her bandages on, Kagome had returned to her mopey self, and it was annoying him. Every few seconds, it was a sigh, or a sniff, or a sob or a `Oh Sango!'.

 

He missed Sango too. She was a great warrior, and knew how to keep Miroku in line. But he would rather pick himself up and figure out their next step then sit around and wail about their situation.

 

Though…there are some who are justified in their tears. He thought, looking at Kirara. The kitten stared at the window, not having moved since she had attacked her former friend and master. Once and a while she would let out a sad meow, but otherwise, she would lay back and just whimper.

 

“And this piece goes here.”

 

Shippo was looking down at the remains of Sango's Hiraikotsu. He had run outside while the rest of them were searching for food, and had managed to drag in most of the pieces. From what Inuyasha could tell, it had been more stress from the boomerang striking the building then Sango pushing on it that finally caused it to split.

 

Now it lay on the floor, made up of 5 large pieces, 7 medium pieces and about 20 or so tiny pieces, which Shippo had organized in some strange way that the hanyou couldn't understand at all. He had been looking at one pile for 5 minutes, till he picked up a random piece and put it in placeon the floor.

 

“And this piece…”

 

“Would you knock it off!” Inuyasha snapped. Shippo jumped, stumbling into the small pile of pieces.

 

“Awww, Inuyasha! Now I have to organize these all over again!”

 

“WHY!?!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

“Inuyasha…” Miroku said quietly.

 

“No, I am saying it, because it's on all our minds: Sango is gone! At least, the Sango we knew. All that's left is a pissed off snake demon that wants us dead. Well, I am not going to cry over it, or waste time fixing something she isn't coming back for. She has a new group of friends, and she is sticking with that. That means sucking it up and knowing that when she sees us again, I am going to cleave her damn head from her neck!”

 

“NO!” kagome screamed, standing up. “You will not hurt her Inuyasha, or I will cleave your head from you neck, then s-I-t you till you are a mushy pile!”

 

“Oh, your on her side?” Inuyasha snapped.

 

“Sango is going to snap out of these, and become the person she once was. And when she does, we are going to act like nothing happened. Right now, all we can do is wait for her to wake up and realize she made a mistake.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes were ablaze. “This isn't like one of our fights Kagome, where one of us realizes we were an idiot, most of the time you,”

 

“I'm an idiot most of the time?!”

 

“…and then come back and we all apologize. Sango is a demon now, a full blooded demon, with one of the shards in her as well. That makes her our enemy!”

 

“She is confused!”

 

“She is out for our blood!”

 

“ENOUGH!”

 

Both of them turned as Miroku stood up, heading for the door. Kagome frowned. “Miroku…where are you going?”

 

“I am not going to sit here and listen to both of you be idiots.”

 

They two friends looked at each other and both shouted. “both!?!”

 

“Yes, both.” He looked at Kagome. “Kagome, Sango has become a demon. We have to accepted that, for now, she is against us.”

“Right!” Inuyasha said.

 

“But that also doesn't mean that she is dead!” Miroku shouted. “If we gave up on a friend when they became a demon, you'd be dead many times now.”

 

“Right!” Kagome said.

 

“However, while it's true that there is a chance that Sango is still there, deep inside that monster, we have to be ready, in case she isn't.”

Kagome shook her head. “we can't kill her Miroku.”

 

Miroku stared at her, his face hard. “Remember when you were possessed by that dark priestess? What if there was no chance to break the spell? Would you want to live like that, trapped in your own body?”

 

Kagome bit her lip, and slowly shook her head. “No…I would have wanted…you guys to do what you needed…to stop me.”

 

“Exactly.” Miroku said. “Now, I am just as upset about this as all of you. But waiting here isn't going to help Sango free herself from that Evil eye spell.”

 

Shippo looked up from his work. “Where are you going Miroku?”

 

“I am going to find Kaede. Maybe she knows of a spell to break the Evil Eye curse. IF we can do that, maybe Sango can turn herself back to normal.”

 

“And if not?” Shippo asked gently.

 

Miroku looked at his friends, and at that moment, neither Inuyasha nor Kagome had ever seen someone look so powerful, so strong, so righteous.

 

“Then I will get a potion to help me destroy the beings that did this to her.”
