Chapter 1 : A little introduction

"Kagome! Come down!" – a girl with long ponytail shouted, her eyes was looking up to the tree, where her best friend was sleeping.

"Calm down, Sango! You are scaring her, what if she falls down?" – a boy next to the girl who had just shouted said worriedly, his eyes were up on the tree as well.

"I'm here! What is wrong?" – Kagome, who was waken up from her dream made a long yawn. She rubbed her eyes sleepily while saying.

"Kagome, I've told you many times that it was too dangerous to sleep on the tree like that".- Sango scolded her gently and unpleasantly.

Kagome jumped down from where she'd slept, coming closer to her friends. An innocent smile played on her lips as she tried to calm Sango down:

"I've told you many times, too, that I've slept many times on the tree like that and nothing happened."

"Just when something bad happened, then you stop sleeping on the tree like that…"

Sango turned her face away, her voice lowered to an unpleasant tone:

"Why don't you love yourself?"

"Eh?" – Kagome blurted out surprisingly when she saw Sango like that.

"If you love yourself, you won't sleep on the tree like that, you won't work so hard like that, you …"

"Stop!" – Kagome choked the ranting girl off, she smiled reluctantly – "Sango, you know that I have to take care of Shouta and Shippo, my mother and my grandpa's health isn't good."

"But, you work way too hard, even I can't stand seeing you like that".

"You're the same as me" – Kagome talked back, and formed a small smile – "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine"

Sango heaved a deep sigh, she knew she couldn't do anything with that. Her friend was far too stubborn. Kagome just wanted to do everything with the cost of her own. That was what Sango liked about her, but she was worried too. Well, Kagome wasn't just her best friend, but like her family also, the dearest one to her. Sango remembered that awful day of her life, her parents died in the fire just because of rescuing Kohaku and her. They risked their lives for her. And she herself was the caused of that fire, meaning she was also the cause of her parent's death. She really didn't remember how terrible she felt on that day, when she could do nothing to prevent the helpless tears on her face. And Kagome appeared, like an angel from the heaven, with the gentlest smile. Kagome hugged her gently, she said:

"Don't worry, everything will be alright".

Sango cried her eyes out, said angrily in her sob:

"I was the cause of all that, I should have died. The one should have died was me, not my parents. How can everything be alright without my parents? I WAS the cause of that, you didn't know anything".

"Don't worry, the one who knows her fault will be forgiven." – Forming an understanding smile, Kagome pulled Sango's head down to her shoulder and lightly patted on her trembling back.

"Remember, Sango" – Kagome seemed not to flinch even a little because of Sango's anger. Her voice was soft yet stern – "Your parents didn't rescue you for you to sit here, cry and hate everything in your life. They rescued you because they wanted you to live happily, instead of them. They rescued you because they didn't want you to die. They rescued you because they loved you. You can't waste their hope. Therefore, you must live and do what they want. You can't make them disappointed"

"Is that right?" – Sango said confusingly after a long silence.

"That is right".- Kagome smiled – "There is no use sitting here and crying. You could be forgiven if you were the caused of the fire, but no one will forgive you if you make your parent's efforts become useless. You now have Kohaku to look after".

"Kohaku …?" – Sango mumbled, she had forgotten that Kohaku would also hurt so much. She sat here, blaming herself and didn't care about her brother's feelings. She was, somehow, so selfish. She couldn't leave her brother like this, she had to take care of Kohaku instead of her parents. Sango smiled, shed her tears 'Kagome is right, there is no use sitting here and crying when there are lots of things she has to do. Her parents had exchanged their lives for Kohaku and her, so she must live worthy of her parent's effort'

"Thank you, I guess I understand now". – Sango said, a smile reluctantly appeared on her lips.

"Uhm, everything will be alright. You have me by your side, always". – Kagome also smiled.

Since then, Kagome became Sango's dearest one. Kagome never left Sango, she always stayed by Sango when she needed and so did Sango. Although two years has passed, Sango always kept that day in her mind and in her heart, to remember about how she got a wonderful friend like Kagome.

"Hey, earth to Sango…" - Miroku waved his hand in front of Sango's face to wake her from her thought.

"What are you thinking, I saw you smiling". – Kagome asked curiously.

"I am thinking about two years in the past" – Sango smiled.

"Two years in the past…"- Kagome also smiled understandingly – "I'm happy because you had fully recovered from that."

"I'm perfectly fine now".

"I know."

"You two, don't play in the past anymore, the bell has rung, we must come back to our class". – Miroku cut the two girl's conversation while his hand slowly came closer to Sango.

SLAPPP…

Poor Miroku hugged his face, groaned because of the pain. Kagome chuckled and Sango angrily hold Kagome's hand, took her to the class.

::Chapter 1 : A little introduction::

"We have two meetings this afternoon, director" – An odd old man informed his master with deep respect.

"Prepare for them" – the voice answered coldly.

"Yes, sir!" – That old man responded, and walked slowly to the door.

The director was Sesshomaru Inutaisho. He was the eldest son of the powerful Inutaisho who kept in his hand most of the companies in this city. Sesshomaru was a cold-blooded man, never smiled, always worked like there was no tomorrow. And anyone who dared to show any depreciation to him must pay for it. Sesshomaru resented his father for betraying his mother. His mother and he never knew that the powerful Inutaisho could have an affair with another woman. And Inuyasha was born without any one's acknowledgement, with the resentment of his mother and his. His mother was seriously ill after that and she soon passed away. If there was some one who Sesshomaru cared for, that was Rin, his little sister. The one his mother had told him to take care of before she left him forever. Sesshomaru lived like that, he has never thought about believing or falling in love with anyone. Well, who could have if his own father had betrayed him, anyway?

Rin – Sesshomaru's sister was also someone like that. She was just about 8 years old and unlike any children at her age, she rarely talked. She even didn't want to smile when she knew all about her parents. Her family had made her lose all her hope or belief in human. She thought that human lived to hurt each other because her brother had made everyone who dared to unpleasant him regretting. Rin scared to live, scared to love, scared to meet everyone except for her brother…

May be they would live like that forever if there wasn't an angel came to their lives…and changed everything…
