It was a dark, star-filled sky when Miroku sat on the usual grassy slope by Kaede's village. He was looking at his cursed hand, lost in his thoughts completely. Suddenly, a figure came into sight.
"Sango?" he hissed.
"Finally. I think I've been here for quite a while now."
The demon slayer went nearer, and sat about an inch away from the monk. She was wearing her usual non-combat clothes, or simply her yukata. As before, he was lost in deep thoughts.
"Houshi-sama?" she asked.
"Oh, sorry." He said, brushing his hand on his back.
"Are you okay? I saw you. Staring at your hand. Think its hole has grown bigger again?"
Miroku paused for a while. He didn't know what to say, since he didn't want to scare her by admitting that the hole got bigger again.
"Actually, yes. But, worse than that."
Sango's eyes widened a little then said, "What? What is it?"
"I've noticed these pass few days that when I use the Kazaana, I feel this unusual ache. Its quite painful, too."
Sango placed her right hand by her chest. She wanted the other to hold his hand, to comfort him, but she was unable to. There was a long, quiet moment after what the houshi had said.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?" the monk asked.
"No, not at all. I just. Didn't know how to react. Does it hurt when you hold it?" she asked.
Sango wanted overcame whatever it is that was holding her back to hold his hand. And she did. She caressed his cursed hand tenderly and gently with her two hands. Shockingly, she wasn't blushing.
Miroku was surprised at this. And it was he who flustered light red on the face. He didn't respond to her question, and after a while, he lifted his other hand and placed it on Sango cheek. The girl suddenly let go of his hand, and he took this opportunity to place it on her other cheek as well. At this moment, she was blushing.
He eyes widened, and due to her 'shock', she was unable to say a word.
"I'll never forget you."
Puzzled at what the monk has told her, she gave him an uncertain look. But, whatever is it that he meant by that, she didn't mind. She simply stared at the man in front of her, who was doing the same all that time.
His hands left her cheek, and they moved Sango's back. He hugged him with all his might, having Sango fall into deep confusion. After such event, he stood up and left.
Sango, who was still in surprise, told herself, "What was that all about?"
The next morning, everyone was up early as they were about to begin their journey again. After dressing up, Sango went out only to notice that something, or someone rather, was missing.
"Kagome-chan, have you seen Houshi-sama?" the girl asked her friend.
"Eh? No. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him since last night!" the highschool student replied.
"Bet he's goofing around in town again, womanizing, of course." Inuyasha butted in.
Osuwari! And down with Inuyasha.
"Kagome!!! What'd you do that for!?" the half demon exclaimed.
Kagome and Inuyasha were arguing with each other when Sango suddenly spoke.
"I'll go look for him. I have bad feeling. He didn't even left a word to us."
"Don't get too nervous, Sango. He's no ordinary monk. With that Kazaana on his palm, he's invulnerable." Inuyasha protested.
"Actually, THAT is what I'm worried about, Inuyasha. I'm going out to look."
The taiji-ya was about to go when Kagome asked her to come with Kirara.
"No, I'll be fine by myself. Thanks."
Kagome watched her go. And just after a while, she was nowhere in sight.
"Be careful, Sango." Kagome whispered.
Sango was unable to find Miroku in the village, which made her worry so much. So she decided to go deep into the woods.
