A/N: I know not another story, yes another story but it is JUST A ONE-SHOT! It will NOT be continued, San/Mir like all of my stories but it is a songfic.
Summary: After another encounter with Kohaku, Sango sings a song reflecting on her feelings about Kohaku. Little did she know someone was watching her hidden in trees. Can he help her?
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but I'm trying to persuade Rumiko-sama to let me borrow Sesshomaru or Miroku. So far I haven't succeeded. All Well! I do not own My Immortal either, that belongs to Evanescence. The song is in Italics and quotations. "Like this" Thoughts are in regular italics like this.
My Immortal: The Truth Behind Sango's FeelingsSango watched, tears threatening to stain her face, as Kagura flew away with Kohaku on her giant pink feather, Sango was almost ready to give up, almost. "Sango," she heard Miroku whisper to her, "Don't give upon him,"
"I won't," she replied. Sango managed to mask her feelings all the way through a quiet dinner. Then she excused herself to take a bath in the hot springs. She gave Miroku her usual warning not to follow. As usual he didn't listen and left a few minutes after her saying "I think I'll stretch my legs."
He followed her stopping in the trees. Sango was not bathing but sitting on a rock crying. Suddenly Sango remembered a song Kagome had let her listen to, a while ago on a thing that she called, a Walkman.
Sango started to sing softly, thinking the song described her feelings perfectly.
"I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears,"
Sango was tired of being alone, and afraid to lose more people close to her. Childish irrational fears she scolded herself.
"And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
Cause your presence still lingers in the air,
And it won't leave me alone."
Sango was sick of knowing Kohaku was alive and just out of her reach, "Damn you, Naraku!" she hissed at the night sky, "You took all I had and shattered it! You broke me! You me hurt so much! I don't want that to happen again!"
"These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much
That time cannot erase"
There's nothing that could possibly wipe the horrid memories that stuck out in Sango's mind, She knew she would have to live with them forever.
"When you cried,
I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you screamed
I'd fight away all of your fears,
And I held your hands through all of these years.
And you still have… all of me,"
Flashback"Sis, I'm scared," Kohaku's voice came from the doorway.
"Of what Kohaku?" Sango asked motioning him to come and sit beside him. The thunder struck again outside and Kohaku nearly jumped into Sango's lap. Sango bit her lip to keep from laughing, "Kohaku, you are not afraid of demons and monsters and yet a simple storm can scare you?"
Kohaku blushed and nodded. "Alright, you can stay here tonight," Sango, sighed, giving up. He reached out and took his elder sisters hand.
"Thanks," he said.
End of Flashback
Kohaku had a piece of her heart with him. Sango felt as if she wasn't complete without him.
"You used to captivate me,
By your resonating light,
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my
Once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me."
Some times Sango swore she could hear his once cheerful voice calling out "Sis!" and then she could see his face smiling happily as he ran to hug her, She was crying silently and made no effort to stop the flow. His smile lit all the dark places.
"These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much
That time cannot erase"
"When you cried,
I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you screamed
I'd fight away all of your fears,
And I held your hands through all of these years.
And you still have… all of me,"
Memories of them playing together, laughing, and holding hands streamed through Sango's mind at an overwhelming pace
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone,And though you're still with me,
I've been alone…
All Along"
She had been alone, ever since the fateful day that had been summoned to the castle. The day Kohaku killed her father.
"When you cried,
I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you screamed
I'd fight away all of your fears,
And I held your hands through all of these years.
And you still have… all of me,"
He had a piece of her heart and she was determined to get it back! She would not give up to Naraku! Finally she gave into her tears and started sobbing uncontrollably. She choked out the last words of the song.
"All of me,"
Miroku walked into the clearing astounded by what he had just heard Sango sing, she had a beautiful voice too. He walked over to her; he pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her. She buried her face in the robes on his shoulder soaking them, but he did not care. "Oh Sango, I don't know what to say," Miroku said sadly "I can't promise everything will be ok, because it might not be but I can tell you never to give up." He kissed the top of her head gently. "I can also tell you, you're never alone, and when ever you need a shoulder to cry on mine is always free." Sango looked up at him, he stared at her tear-stained face and wiped away the last tear with his thumb and then he leaned down and pressed his lips onto hers.
