Sango’s new roll in life

Two years had passed since the Shard
Hunting Group had destroyed the evil Naraku and gained possession of the last
remaining pieces of the Shikon no Tama. Sango could still remember when Kagome,
the girl from the future took the pieces into her palms and closed them, and
when she opened up her hands the jewel was once again completed. The little
glass ball laid there, sparkling with a pink and purple light. Kagome gave the
jewel to Inuyasha but he had just shook his head. He had been a vital part in
destroying Naraku, he had proven his strength. He had no need for it anymore.

Sango felt tears on her face when she
remembered the day when Kagome went back to her own time in the future, never to
return to the feudal age again. She had accepted the proposal from a young man
in her time and they were to be married. Sango was glad of course, but at the
same time she felt sad. She had lost a sister and a good friend, and she had
once again been reminded of her own loneliness. Strong and scarred, yes, Sango
would forever walk the earth alone.

A few months after Kagome’s departure,
Sango had said good bye to Kaede and Miroku, saying that she would move back
into her old village. Inuyasha had been there too, but he had just snorted and
walked away like nothing had happened at all. Somehow, that had hurt Sango very
much.

Kirara transformed and carried her
mistress to the silent village.



 

A year of hard work had given Sango
quite the reputation as a demon slayer and she was given large amount of tribute
from the villagers that asked for her help.

But this morning she was awakened by
Kirara, the fire cat gently pushed her cold nose into Sango’s face. Sango rubbed
the sleep from her eyes and sharpened her senses. There was a hanyou nearby, but
a very weak one. She quickly pulled on hak hakama and haori and grabbed her
short sword. She opened the door and was about to take a step outside when
Kirara stopped her.

A scream, an infant’s scream filled the
air and Sango looked down and saw a basket on her door step. Sango instantly
dropped her sword and picked up the content of the little basket. She was met by
a pair of golden eyes, silvery hair and two cute little doggy ears. One small
inu hanyou. A baby inu hanyou with a very bad smell for the moment.

Sango frowned, what the hell was this
supposed to mean? Was this some kind of bad joke? Never the less, the little
baby needed a change and since Sango was the only person around to do it. The
slayer made a face and began unwrap the linen from the baby’s body. She soon
discovered that it was a baby girl. She cleaned ue lie little baby and found a
new wrapping for her. A small pendant fell out from the old linen and Sango held
it up and looked at it. It was made of jade she guessed. The dark green colour
was warm and Sango almost felt hypnotized by its appearance.

-        
Ok little girl, who are San Sango asked out into the air and picked up
the girl into her arms, rocking her back and forth.

“I need to get milk or some kind of
baby food.” Sango frowned. She had no idea what
small baby hanyos’ ate. The baby was about three months old or something like
that. “Milk? Hey, wait, one of the horses in the meadow have just delivered,
she must have milk.” With that thought in mind Sango tucked the baby in a
soft blanked and carried her with her to the meadow. Once she neared the
blooming field she told Kirara to guard the child as she called the horse to
her.

-        
Buroonii!! said Sango with a loud voice and then gave off a whistle.

A chocolate brown horse with black mane
rose her head when she heard the female call her name. She began moving against
the human, her young daughter followed her in her track as she walked over to
the woman that had called her name.

The horse stopped in front of Sango and
she held up a small bowl.

-        
Please Buroonii, can I take some of your milk? Asked Sango, just like she
would have asked another person.

The horse looked suspicious.

-        
I have been given a child, see… said Sango and pointed towards Kirara and
the small bundle at the fire cat’s feet.

The horse looked to where the human
pointed and she saw a small child on the ground. Somehow the black haired woman
with dark green eyes talked in a way that she could understand and she moved her
flank towards her, signifying that it was ok for her to take some of her milk.

Sango let out a small sigh of relief,
the horse understood her need. She moved to crouch under the horse and milk her
she saw the small baby horse come and buff against the udder to help Sango get
the milk she wanted. As soon as the bowl was filled she put it away she she rose
to her feet and walked up to face the horse.

-        
Thank you Buroonii, please come by my village any time you need help as
well, said Sango and bowed to the horse who seemed to nod to her words.

Sango was happy as she picked up the
child into her arms and took the milk filled bowl with her back to her small
house.

Back in the house Sango used a clean
silk cloth to dip into the milk and put it to the mouth of the child. But she
did not take it and Sango frowned a bit. This was not good at all, if the baby
did not take the milk it would starve eatheath. Was it still used to suckle from
the breast? Thaoughought made Sango stiffen quite a lot.

-        
Use your finger Sango…

The dark voice had Sango turn on the
spot and she looked at the door and saw…..

For a day you leave your wishes in the review area!! ( anyone but Miroku, you
can read about him and Sango in so many other stories... so anyone but him will
do just fine.. so who will it be?)

I will pick the one who has been asked for the most ok?

And just a small note Buroonii

I am not into horses at all so that was the best I could come up with... *sorry*
