"No! Miroku!"The young slayer ran towards the cursed monk but was pulled back by the strong arms of Inuyasha"Don't Sango! It's too late, you can't save him now.."He turned his head away as Sango stared with wide eyes as the wind tunnel reached it's limit and began to consume their friend."Lord Miroku!"Kagome screamed,tears filling her eyes holding Shippo within her arms. Sango reached out her hand wanting to prevent this tragic end but was powerless and so she turned her head into the hanyou's chest praying for his soul to be set free at long last.
Only as the wind died down did Inuyasha allow his hold on Sango to fall and she immediately ran towards the large crater,only to see a blood stained staff of the monk who is now gone forever. Sango sanks to her knees wanting to cry, but was shocked to find herself with dry eyes. She couldn't cry for him. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up at Inuyasha, whose brilliant amber eyes she's come to drown in were filled with sorrow and understanding. He gave her shoulder a slight squeeze."Sango...I'm sorry,he was a great friend and fought hard to the end.."Sango nodded managing a weak smile and stood"Thank you.I know he did, but it wasn't enough unfortunately..."She lowered her head walking off wishing she could find herself able to cry but her heart refused to open to him.
"Inuyasha? Is Sango going to be all right?"Kagome walked over to Inuyasha with Shippo on her shoulder, both still had tears in their eyes. Inuyasha shrugged still staring at the woman who just stole his heart."I honestly hope so...she's strong enough and she's got us so..we shouldn't worry just give her time"He then folded his arms in his sleeves and walked after her, Kagome quickly behind, leaving the place of death and tragedy in the past.
Returning late at night to Kaede's village Sango changed into her kimono and didnt bother to put up her hair but instead let it flow down to her hips and quickly went to edge of the village sitting herself under the stars with her knees to her chest and her arms holding them tight. 'What's wrong with me...why can't I shead tears for Miroku...could it be I didn't...' She buried her face within her lap confused more than ever.
Inuyasha sighed and stared out knowing she should be left alone. He wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and comfort her but alas he couldn't bring himself to tell her. Just as he turned to go back inside arms slipped around him and a warm soft body pressed itself against his."Inuyasha...please don't go.." He stood there and recognized Sango's heavenly voice and turned to see the hurt and sorrow in her eyes as she looked up to him."Sango...I'm sorry about what happened..."She shook her head hugging him tightly"Please..let's forget it..."Inuyasha knew how hurt she was no he nodded and agreed to walk with her.
Kagome watched as Inuyasha walked with Sango, her heart really aching for her. she then gasped, her eyes widening as pain shot through her entire body. Blood trickled down her back and she turned in pain and before death took her Naraku's face blurred her vision and down she went. Nobody could hear her last cry as death filled the air.
