Toxic
Chapter 6 : This Is The Dream I'm Dying In
~
Sango's soft brown eyes suddenly came back. She blinks once…her vision striving to see a clear opening in the forest in front of her. There was something fluttering…more than one.
Butterflies…tons of butterflies. Crimson colored…deep blues…lovely purples…even black. All too beautiful…the sun seemed to be setting…giving their colors a unique glow. The wind blew a bit harder, kissing Sango's white skin. Sango closed her eyes.
“Why…is this so familiar?”
“Do you like it?” a deep male's voice called out.
Sango opened her eyes quickly and turned.
“Who's there?!” she demanded strongly. It then fell silent. Then a chuckle was heard.
“Beautiful Sango…you can stay here forever if you wish. With me…do you not remember who I am?” his voice questions again.
Sango doesn't reply. She takes a minute to respond. “Well…I don't remember much of my past…just Kohaku…and…father…” she starts a bit of sadness in her voice. She then tightens her expression. “You still have not answered my question!” she demanded again.
“Tsk tsk…poor sweet Sango is in pain…let me help you…” A long ghastly purple aura shot out at her, wrapping around her waist and seeming to pull her into the forest.
Sango swiped at it but her boomerang went right through.
“No!” she cries.
Kirara sniffed the ground then chirped running ahead. Sesshoumaru made his jogs quicker and followed his scent along with the little fire cat.
Kirara growls and transforms seeing her master held by the unfamiliar presence. She leaps forward trying to bit away the terror but fails and gets whacked into a tree by another one.
Sesshoumaru stares at the situation.
“The paranormal…I see…” he glares.
He takes out Tenseiga and runs forward. The healing sword pulses and the hands draw back, dropping Sango and hissing in retreat.
Sango immediately leans up. “Kirara!” she cries going over to her companion's side. Kirara gets up shaking her head, as if thinking she could just shake the pain away then licked Sango in a friendly way to show she was fine.
Sango smiled very slightly. “I'm glad your alright…” she pets Kirara atop the head and turns to Sesshoumaru.
“Domo arigato…” she nods. “Sesshoumaru…” she purrs his name making a strange tingling sensation burn within him.
Sesshoumaru said nothing but looked to the sky in question. Sango stares deeply into the forest.
`What…just happened…? Who was that? He said I knew him…' she thinks trying to remember.
Sesshoumaru averted his gaze from the sky to Sango.
“An old friend of your's?” he then questions after the long going seconds from the scene.
Sango let out a breath as she continued to hug the fire cat. She whitish soft fur tickled at her cheek as a strong wind blew in the moment of quick silence. Sango shook her head.
“I don't know him…but he said I did…” she explained in a short answer.
Sesshoumaru takes a minute to think some more then turns as if going to walk away. He then pauses.
“Are you ok?” his words surprise her a bit.
Sango felt the warmness in her cheeks once more. She simply nodded, knowing that he saw her from the corner of his golden sharp eye.
“I'm fine…” she turned the soft chocolate brown eyes to the ground and began playing with a strand of grass.
Kirara kyuued and purred as she transformed back into her smaller stat and rubbed up against Sango. She then perked her head up and ran by Sesshoumaru's heels, sniffing a bit.
Sesshoumaru stopped to glare down at the puny beast who dared interfere his footsteps but heard the human chuckle from behind.
“What's so funny?” he demands in his more cold tone.
Sango shrugged slightly. “Kirara seems to like you. It's strange…I've never seen her act so…friendly towards another person. And especially since that person is a…demon.” She then frowned. “I meant that in a polite way!” she added quickly.
Kirara looked back over to Sango and ran into her rightful master's arms once more. Sesshoumaru watched the small fuzzball run over to Sango with a remaining cold expression.
“Come Sango. You will spending the night with us. If you wish…” he said starting to walk off.
Sango smiled. “Thank you! Come Kirara!” she smiles and gets up excitedly with Kirara at her heels.
Jealous cold emerald green eyes stared watching the two beings and small fire youkai from atop a tree. Pale lips frowned and a mane of thin black hair tumbled over a man's leaning body.
/So…Sango seems to have fallen for this…mutt. Hm. How dare he try to steal away what's mine…fool. No matter. I will win Sango's heart in the end. Sesshoumaru…you…will die./

“It's such a beautiful night!” Sango sighed gazing at the shining stars in the darkened blue night sky. Fireflies were all about and little Rin-chan was trying to catch them but sometimes failed cutely. Jaken seemed annoyed at the little human's action…and presence of an young human women in the pack…
Kirara ran at Rin's heels, also trying cute attempts at the fireflies until she was satisfied and came back to lie down upon Sango's warm lap.
The night air was a bit cold. In no time Rin had retreated and curled up by the two headed dragon steed, Ah and Un. Sesshoumaru sat in his usual pose atop the hillside ; one leg bent up with his hand rested atop the knee while the other leg let lay strait out. The rope to Au and Un's muzzles was intertwined in long strong fingers of his hands.
Sango secretly admired the beautiful scene. Especially Sesshoumaru. His bright brilliant golden eyes mixed with bright light of fireflies looked kinda even…and yet his golden gaze could surpass any firefly's glow and trance. And that shining mane of silver white hair gleamed in the night like his eyes, as the wind made it's way about his flawless handsome face. He looked so beautiful under moonlight.
“Mew?”
Kirara's chirp snapped Sango out of the trance.
“What is it girl?” she blushed slightly and smiled down at Kirara.
Kirara tilts her head then blinks towards Sesshoumaru. The red eyes of the fire cat then looked up at Sango again.
Sango smiles secretly and picks up Kirara. She got up, overlooking the cute sleeping, Rin. She went over and sat down by Sesshoumaru. Jaken eyed her suspiciously with an untrusting look in his big toad eyes.
“One human is bad enough…You should get down on your knees to the lord, wench!” Jaken scolds Sango for sitting so close.
“Jaken!” Sesshoumaru's voice was harsh to the toad.
“Yes…m'lord?” Jaken questions a bit scared.
“I will be the one concerned if this women is being a nuisance or not. Don't interfere.” He says a bit coldly.
Jaken shakes his head but continues giving Sango death glares.
Sango waited a minute. Locks of soft brown hair came undone from the usual binding due to a sudden violent breeze. “I wanted to thank you…for saving me.” She then said after a long pause.
“Tooth for a tooth.” Sesshoumaru simply said.
Sango blinks. “Right. I helped you…you help me.” She said with a small smile.
They all feel in a deep silence. Sango suddenly yawned.
“You are tired. Go and rest wherever you feel comfortable.” Sesshoumaru said still not making eye contact with Sango.
Sango nodded. “Good night, lord Sesshoumaru.” She smiled teasingly and went over to lie down by Rin.
Kirara's fur stood on end a bit as the dragon steeds heads perked up, sniffing and questioning the new presences then after their curiosity was gone they laid back down for some night's rest.
Sango didn't seem to want to sleep. What happened earlier made it's way back into her mind…she couldn't stop thinking it about it. Her eyelids drooped slowly as the minutes passed by until she soon found herself back into a deep sleep.

Darkness.
Darkness was everywhere around her.
As she kept falling…falling…deeper and deeper.
Sango opened the bright brown orbs.
“Mm…what's happening?” she whispered.
Even in a whisper…her words seemed to echo in this hellish abyss she found herself forever falling in.
“Help!” she cried. She somehow refused to look down…no matter how much she wanted to.
“Can anyone hear me?!” she called again knowing it was hopeless.
/Sango…/
A familiar voice called to her.
Sango stumbled as she felt her feet hit a platform beneath her. It seemed to be made of glass. It was heart shaped and yet darkness still flooded around her. But this heart…was made of a crimson red…
/Choose the pathway…Who can catch you? Before you fall? Come with me, Sango…Come with me…/
A clawed hand reached out. In the hand…was a rose.
Sango admired it's perfection for a moment. You usually didn't find such a…perfectly modeled rose.
She stepped forward. Tilting her head only slightly in curiosity.
She then stopped. She realized now…that it was no ordinary rose.
Black.
The rose was black.
The silky delicate petals…were the color of darkness.
The long graceful deep green stem…was flooded with thorns.
A pair of brilliant deep green eyes peered out…locking it's with her's.
Her delicate hand reached out. She blinked.
Before she knew what she was doing she had the rose in her hands.
She frowned and stared down at the beautiful…and yet so wrong piece of nature.
She winces. One of the thorns cut her finger. Crimson dripped down from the bleeding cut.
The single drop of blood dripped to the floor. The glass substance of the platform seemed to absorb the warm sweet crimson and made tiny waves, as though it were water.
A red-pink tongue licked over pale lips hungrily as the green eyes stared to the blood then his eyes went back to her.
/Sango…remember me…/
Sango wanted to drop the rose. But those eyes…she couldn't turn her's from them. Something about them…so brilliant…she tightened her grip on the rose.
“What do you want?” she demanded forcing the words out of her throat.
/You./
“Why? Who are you?”
/You know who I am./
“No. No I don't! Please tell me…”
/Well…I hate a pretty face puppy pout…/
“…” Sango waited patiently for his answer.
A figure in the distance was suddenly seen…it was of a familiar beautiful male with long silver white hair and brilliant golden eyes…
“Sesshoumaru!” Sango called to him.
She went to walk over to him but the glass heart beneath her suddenly cracked before shattering.
She fell. Falling again. With a yelp and long scream. She then heard his voice. That green eyed man's voice…
/This mutt, Sesshoumaru…he will not save you. You've choosen…wrong, Sango. As for my name is…/
