A/N: This is my first story, so please be nice! If you like it, I may post more… as of right now I'm not sure how it will be liked, so I'll keep it a one-shot. Please review and enjoy! I don't own the song Tourniquet by Evanescence nor do I own the manga/anime InuYasha.

Sango's POV

I'm so tired of it, all of it! I just want it to end!

I tried to kill the pain,

But only brought more

So much more

The knife, and what it represents, looks so enticing! No more pain… My wrists out in offering, the knife slices deep, and a crimson waterfall appears.

I lay dying

And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

I'm dying

No more beatings…


He was drunk again. The lash of his whip stung, but I kept the whimpers in. To let him hear would only give him satisfaction and earn me more beatings. To show weakness was not allowed by him… my own father…


No more betrayals…


I hid behind the bush, whimpering in pain. There is my boyfriend Miroku, making out with the class slut. 'Oh God, make it stop, make the pain stop please! It hurts so much! I trusted him to give up his lecherous ways…'


Praying, bleeding and screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

My vision starts to fade, my life is ending fast. My only regret is I'm leaving my friends… and my love. How can I still love him? Oh God, just let it end!

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

I haven't talked to him since then, won't let him explain. I don't want to hear his excuses… Will he even care that I've killed myself? I doubt it, he was just using me.

Do you remember me?

Lost for so long

Will you be on the other side?

Or will you forget me?

The blood on my wrists starts to congeal. I pick the dried blood off and let the blood start flowing again.

I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

I want to die!!!


Miroku's POV:

A loud persistent banging sound interrupted my sleep. I cursed as I fell off my futon. "This had better be good" I growled as I opened my door. InuYasha was on the other side.

"Something has happened to Sango, I can feel it!" InuYasha yelled, "We have to go and quick!" I ran out the door after his retreating back. 'Please let her be okay!' I prayed to Buddha. We raced over to Sango's house, breaking quite a few laws. Once there, we raced to the backyard where we could climb up a tree to Sango's window. InuYasha clambered up first, and I followed him. As he reached the window, he looked in and turned pale. "Miroku" InuYasha breathed, "I think Sango is dead…" I pushed past InuYasha and looked in. There was Sango, splayed across the floor, with blood staining the carpet around her. I bashed the window in, the sound of falling glass tinkling but not waking Sango up, and scrambled over the sill. "Sango" I breathed as I raced over to her. As I touched her neck, I found a pulse. It was very slight. "InuYasha, she's still alive!" I exclaimed. He climbed into the window, passed me his shirt, and I ripped it up for bandages. We wrapped her wrists tightly, but her pulse was fading fast. I sat behind her, moved her head to my lap, kissed her forehead, and prayed. InuYasha frantically called 911. After a bit, we heard sirens in the distance. Her pulse was almost gone, so we yelled at Sango to hold on a little longer.


Sango's POV

As my breath leaves my body, I feel something wrapping around my wrists and cutting off the blood flow.

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave

My soul cries for deliverance

My eyes struggle feebly to open as I hear InuYasha and Miroku yelling at me, their tears dripping onto my face.

Will I be denied?

"I'm sorry," I struggle to say, "Love you both." And my body went limp, my eyes closing.
