Summary: The Inuyasha gang finally defeats Naraku! Everything was supposed to go as planned but slowly every part of Sango's life is falling apart. When someone comes along will there finally be a completion to her dreadful story, or will it only continue to steadily crumble under her feet?

Prologue

The fight was harder than we expected but at least it was over. I didn't have to worry about Naraku anymore. I put my brother to rest in my village and payed my respects to my family. Inuyasha was finally able to give Kikyo a proper burial and Kagome went back to her time for a little while, she said she had things to take care of. Miroku went off to visit his old caretaker, Mushin. Shippou stayed behind with Kayede deciding to wait for Kagome. It was sad that our little group split up even if it were just a few months. I missed Miroku the most. Soon we would be able to fulfill our promise and get married.

After a few months I felt I spent enough time in my village. I was beginning to feel depressed. I wasn't alone, of course I had Kilala but still I needed someone I could talk to. That's when I decided I would go stay with Kayede and help her out. We took off flying to our home away from home.

"Kayede." I shouted and waved my hand in the air as I approached the village. The old woman stopped her duties to look up at me. She stood there smiling causing my smile to brighten.

"Hello dear. What are ye doing back so soon?" She asked once I was close enough for her not to yell.

"Well I finished up in my village early so here I am."

"That's wonderful."

"Yeah. I'll help around with anything you want but first can I see Shippou, Kilala and I missed him so very much."

"Oh yes child. He's in the hut. Resting I believe."

"Thank you Kayede." I said before I went off to the hut. Shippou would be the perfect person to cheer me up. "Shippou?" I called out as I stood in the doorway of the old miko's hut. Just as Kayede said he was on a futon taking a nap. He looked peaceful so I didn't bother waking him. I couldn't help but stand there and smile, admiring how innocent he was despite all the things he saw and went through.

"You gonna block the entrance all day?" I heard a gruff voice behind me. I jumped not expecting anyone. I turned around and saw Inuyasha standing right behind me with his arms crossed.

"Inuyasha. Sorry." I said moving out the way.

"What are you doing back so early anyways?" He said going in the hut and taking a seat on the wall across from Shippou.

"Kilala and I just wanted to see Shippou and Kagome possibly, but I see she hasn't returned yet."

"Yeah she's hasn't." I nodded my head and sat next to Shippou. "So what happened at your village?"

"Nothing."

"Why are you back so early?"

"It was too depressing. I needed a change of scene."

"Oh. I'm sorry." He trailed off in thought.

"Sango your back!" Shippou screamed jumping on me. "I missed you so much."

"Yeah I am. I missed you too." I said hugging him back. He sat on my lap and started talking.

"Inuyasha hasn't been very nice. He hits me and says bad things. Now that you're back he can't do all of those bad things anymore. Right what he's been doing is mean Sango? Tell him."

"That wasn't very nice of him."

"See Inuyasha you weren't be nice. I told you!" Shippou said.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled standing up.

"See Sango he's gonna hit me."

"Now now guys. Let's not fight."

"Whatever." Inuyasha said sitting down and crossing him arms over his chest.

"I'm going for a walk." I said standing up.

"But you just got here." Shippou said.

"I know but I wanna stretch my legs."

"Awww man." Shippou said crawling out of my lap.

"You can come Shippou." I said laughing.

"Yes!" He yelled as he jumped on my shoulder.

"Would you like to come?" I asked Inuyasha. I didn't feel right inviting Shippou and not him.

"Feh like I would want to come." Inuyasha said sticking his nose in the air. I rolled my eyes and walked out the door. So typical of him.

We finally went back to the Kayede's by sun down. Shippou took me around all day and wore me out. He made me play his games, which were fun but now I needed rest.

"Took the whole damn day for a walk?" Inuyasha asked as I sat down in the same spot as yesterday.

"Not exactly." I said.

"You shoulda came." Shippou taunted. "Sango invited you and you decided not to come. You missed all the fun!" He said sticking his tongue out.

"You little brat! I'll kill ya!" Inuyasha yelled standing up.

"Sango he's gonna hurt me." Shippou yelled running into my arms.

"Inuyasha don't hurt him. He's just a little fox."

"Serves you right." Shippou yelled.

"But Shippou you can't bother Inuyasha like that. Ok?"

"Yes Sango." He said with his head hanging low.

"Hah! Good for you brat!" Inuyasha yelled sitting back down beside me.

"Don't start you two please." I asked quietly.

It took hours but Shippou was finally asleep. I left the hut and walked towards a stream nearby. I was so sad and lonely. The only person I really came back for was Miroku, but he wasn't here. I had hoped we could be married by now. Was I being selfish? I truly hope not.

"What you doing out here?" A voice said behind me causing me to jump.
