iyfic_contest's "long distance" prompt.
Sometimes at night, when the children are sleeping, Sango finds herself sitting on the porch outside her hut, watching the stars and wondering. Somewhere, her little brother is out there and she cannot help but worry about him.
After all that they went through, all that he went through, she still wishes she could have kept him close even though she knows she never could. It would have been too cruel. And besides, she knows just how capable a Taijiya he has become in the past several years.
She knows, but she still worries.
Sometimes, when he is not off on his own journeys with InuYasha, Miroku comes and sits beside her in the dark, lending his strength and understanding. It helps some, but nothing can take all the worry away. It no longer threatens to consume her as it once did, but it is always there in the back of her mind.
But no matter how much she worries and how much she hopes, eventually Kohaku always comes back, hale and healthy and with plenty of stories and experiences to share.
Each time he returns, Sango greets him with a smile and all the love in her heart. And each time he returns, the fears fade a little and the worries grow a bit fewer and farther between.
Maybe someday, she thinks, she won't have to worry anymore. And then she laughs, because after everything they've been through, she is still his big sister. It's her job to worry.
