[Sango:]

("KOHAKU !!"
A name. A simple word. I didn't know how it came from my lips, I just stood there apparently rooted to the spot. The boy just a few meters in front of me turned around. He was pretty grown up by now. He was still wearing the armor of a taijiya. There was also a sickle tied on a chain: his weapon. He was a taijiya. WAR, because now he was killing people. The village around us had long since gone up in flames. Individual corpses lay on the floor. The smell of blood and sulfur stung my nose. I coughed and spat blood.
"Kohaku !! Kohaku, please stop! Please !!"
Smiling, I said the last words. I still couldn't believe it, I didn't want to believe it. This Taijiya would never kill a village just like that. No, he wouldn't ...
Slowly and heavily, I dragged myself to him. I pressed my right hand on the bleeding wound on my stomach. My left arm hung limply. It was broken.
My legs felt like lead. My blood dripped to the earth and mixed with the rain that slowly fell to the earth.
"Kohaku, please stop !!!"
My voice was already very weak. I went up to the young man, but he was faster. He put his gun in my chest with full force before I collapsed. But I wasn't broken yet, not YET. It was then that I noticed the outline of a person above me. Kagome? Inuyasha? No, neither of them ... The stranger leaned down to me, kissed my still bloody lips and then took me in his arms. Still too weak to get rid of it, I let it go. My heart was pounding wildly and it seemed like it was going to burst, but nothing happened. Only now did I see how sparks sprayed wildly, fireballs flew down, the flames came closer and closer.
"KOHAKUUUU !!"
The young man tried desperately to protect himself, but was caught by the flaming inferno. I watched helplessly as the fire enveloped him, ate him up. How all the life disappeared from him. It was a horrible sight. I wanted to go down, wanted to go to Kohaku, but the stranger held me tightly. In the meantime, a protective ban had appeared around us. I rebelled, fought back bitterly when the stranger kissed me again, let me down and then said three magical, but still decisive words to me:
"I love you!"
Before he left the ramparts and the flames engulfed him ...)

"AHHHH !!"
Suddenly I was startled. My hands were shaking, I was sweating terribly and my eyes were just so filled with salty tears - I had cried ...
"Kohaku ..."
I whispered the name to myself, very softly. As quietly as possible ... Nobody heard it. Especially not Kagome-san, who ran to me and knelt right next to me.
"Sango-san, are you all right again? You had slept for days ... Get some rest !!"Oh yes ... That's right, I had a fever. The snake yokai poison we fought a few days ago had worked well, but I was still able to beat it. But now back to the dream - to the NIGHTMARE! Who actually saved me there? This big, strong, beautiful ... GOD, WHERE AM I THINKING ?! Kagome-san was right, I really should rest ... Maybe the fever was still not completely gone, yes, it had to be. God, that was just a dream after all ... The fire, Kohaku, my wonderful ... I cursed SO LOUD that Kagome-san heard it and turned back to me, but I stopped her from looking at me get. I was fine, I said. Not at all, because I just couldn't get this savior out of my head. THAT WAS JUST A DREAM !! Although I had dreamed that dream over and over again. This had been going on for weeks now. Now I dream the same dream every night. And every time more and more clear. But I still didn't know who had saved me ... NOT YET ...

Only a few days later we were on the move again, once again Kirara was sitting on my shoulder, once again the perverted monk grabbed my bum, again he had my Hiraikotsu in his face, again the dog hanyou, who was through again an argument with Kagome-san was offended, the little Kitsunen was annoyed, he had sought protection from Kagome-san again, the argument started again and again ...
"OSUWARI !!"
... and again it rattled. All in all, the hike was quite 'calm', at least quieter than usual ... But something was different. There was this pounding in me, in my heart when I thought of him. What was that feeling? It kept coming back as soon as I thought of him ... of my great ... ARG, AGAIN !!! What was that all about? I stopped and looked up at the sky. The weather was clear, not a single cloud in sight. But in my chamber in my heart it was cold. I knew what was going on, but I didn't want to believe it. No, I already loved someone else. This person should get out of my head, it was just a dream. Or?! I explained to Kagome-san that I wanted to be a little alone. She agreed, since she still had enough to do with the hanyou. Why did they always fight? You could hardly tell that they loved each other, but it was true. Although Inuyasha couldn't decide between her and Kikyo and he probably never would ... But Kagome-san loved him, but for me it was completely different ... I didn't know my savior ... But could I still fall in love with him like that ?! ... So I moved away from them and walked alone and lost in thought through the forest. The birds chirped and trilled a pretty little song. But in me everything was empty ... The wind blew a cool breeze and made the heat of the sun just bearable.But in me everything was empty ... I came to a clearing where there was a wonderful meadow of flowers. Red, yellow, orange ... In addition there was the small stream with the small waterfall, which babbled just a little further away. But in me everything was empty ... As always ......
After a while I lay down on this flower meadow and looked at the sky. I probably nodded off accidentally ...

(I stood in the dark. Everything around me was black, only I myself was standing in a cone of light. Where was I? That was the only question that shot through my head. Suddenly I saw pictures in front of me. The pictures of the flames ... The pictures of Kohaku ... The pictures of ...
"Oh, Kohaku ..."
Tears formed that I couldn't hold back and ran down my cheeks. How could it get this far, how could it? I suddenly heard footsteps before I turned and froze. A second cone of light had appeared behind me and in it was a black, shadowy person who had an unconscious man in her arms. It was Kohaku and the one who saved me. He was unharmed, just like the stranger. I was about to see him when an invisible wall prevented me from doing it. It was the spell that had opened around me earlier. I got hysterical, panic broke out. I wanted to go to both of them. In desperation, I punched and kicked the wall. Until this protective wall was transformed. It took the shape of a soap bubble and floated in the air. And I was in there. So from the air I had to watch helplessly as the environment around us changed. The flames reappeared. First shadowy, then more and more clear. The ground suddenly turned blood red and all the corpses and destroyed buildings reappeared. I froze. I was shocked to find that I was still in the same place from before. We were still in the ruined village ...
"KOHAKU! COME TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO GO !!"
I screamed my heart out, but he didn't respond. Only now did I see that ...
OH GOD!! The poor man was covered in blood and had tons of burns. Why had I forgotten that earlier? Was I too upset earlier that I hadn't seen what condition it was in? Tears formed again. I kept screaming, punching, kicking the wall of the bubble, and telling Kohaku to open his eyes. But nothing happened! The stranger who had Kohaku in his arms shook his head and it was immediately clear to me what he meant by that. I dropped to my knees. Why couldn't I get out of the bladder? Why did Kohaku do this? Why couldn't I do anything?
"KOHAKU, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE ???" ...)

I opened my eyes immediately and the first thing I saw was a night sky covered with clouds. The first raindrops were already falling on the earth. I was still sweating and gasping for breath, staring in disbelief at the already black clouds.Only the moon could be seen shining through something. It was already thundering. The thunder must have woken me up. And yet I couldn't even see how the dream ended ... What really became of Kohaku ... And whether the stranger had survived it all unscathed ...
"CHIKUSO!"
I cursed loudly. Life was so unfair too! So I got up a little heavily and started looking for shelter for the night. At least until the rain was over. And that could still take a while, as I had to find out ... Because now it was only really beginning to pour in torrents. I was standing on my feet when a lightning bolt appeared. So I fell back in shock, right on my bum. A dull noise was heard. So I got up again and took a few steps. Where should I find a suitable shelter now?
It was late at night and I hardly believed that I could find shelter now. But still I just went for it ... I would find my destination in the form of a shelter or my friends, whom I already missed. I was just about to set off when ...
A brilliant light appeared right in front of me and blinded me. A tree, right in front of me, shattered into all its pieces. I took a step back in shock and felt something slip away from under my feet. No wonder, with the already damp mud. So I slipped and fell. A large piece of the splintered tree hit my head and I felt everything go black around me ...

("KOHAKUUU !!"
Only now did the strange soap bubble I was sitting in slowly sink to the floor and burst. Finally I was outside and was able to go to Kohaku. I ran up to him and looked at him. His face was pale as chalk and blood had run out of his mouth that was completely dry. His eyes, totally empty and wide open. There were burns all over his body and his armor and clothes were totally destroyed and torn. He was dead. My own brother was ... I dropped to my knees and cried. Wept for Kohaku. For me there was no longer any meaning in life. Never again ... The stranger who was carrying Kohaku put him
