Summary: It was all she had.



Sango was not one to admit weakness. To admit it would lead to others taking advantage of her, playing on the fears and doubts and she kept hidden inside.

Truth be told, her greatest weakness was her heritage. The village she had grown up in had been secluded from nearly everyone. True, they traveled to help others, but for the majority of her life, the only people she had known had been a part of her extended family.

Being alone was one of the worst things a person could feel. Having your friends and family ripped away from you in the blink of an eye was even worse. She knew it was foolish to hope that one day she could save her brother, but she couldn’t help it.

Kohaku had been an important part of her life since his birth. She refused to let him go. Perhaps it made her look like a fool, holding on to someone who was already gone. A part of her knew that he was only being kept alive by a single shard, but her heart insisted that the boy he used to be was still in there somewhere.

Hope was a fickle thing, but it was all she had.
