Rain: This was supposed to be a one shot it was made to me a one shot

Snow: But it was we are guessing to long enjoy

-O- Next Day

The morning sun brought Sango Hoshi no comforting arms no kind words just the realization of what happened and the clean up.

"Shit!" She screamed in pain at cutting herself with a shard of glass looking down at what cut her it was one of those glass roses sweethearts give each other. She remembered him giving this to her it was their first time going to the Renaissance festival when they were first dating and they'd walked the whole day from shop to shop, show to show and even a few games she'd kicked his ass in like Robin Hood's Crossbows, Catapulting Frogs, and Storm The Castle. To her surprise that day when night came and the cannon scared the crap out of her in it's fire and fireworks lit up the darkened sky he then looked at her and handed her a small card that read in old type font " One Free Kiss from any man woman or beast." it was tied to the glass rose and Sango was nervous but reached behind his neck, pulled him in and kissed him long and hard and good. It was their first of many. She thought back on that memory How could this have happened to people who when they were young were so in love and happy to be near one another starring off to the same star in the night sky? She didn't understand, he must have lost what was more then a feeling along the way somehow. She pushed the thoughts aside deciding on counsel from Kagome who in matters of the heart had been through more then the combined shares of four or five women.

-O-Later at Kagome's that night

"So are you filing for divorce?" Kagome asked over her gallon of Ice-cream.

"I… I really don't know what to do I love him." Sango replied downing another scoop of rocky road.

"Sango… the real question is can you trust him." Kagome was angry more then angry she was down right pissed.

"No… I guess not I mean if he cheated once…" Sango trailed off.

A broken jewel box dancer in pieces down the hall
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
It's time she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is he's gone, she's got to move on

-O- Same time with Miroku

Miroku looked to the roses to his right in the black leather of his seats... they were red her favorite and they rested with her favorite bottle of wine almost as a peace offering for the turbulence their happy home had experienced due to his stupidity... He sighed reaching into his jacket pocket the velvet box was there all he had to do was apologies and beg her forgiveness which he was willing to do to not lose his goddess... he loved her and even so he had hurt her... he came home with his secretaries lipstick and sent on his shirt... he couldn't help it temptation had it's fling with him. Sango screamed at him in her temporary insanity throwing everything he had given her over the years meaning only to kill him... He just stood there watching as the jewel box crashed shattering on the door... He rested his hand back on the wheel shaking his head to free himself from the heartbreak he had seen in her eyes last night... he had to make it up to her somehow... That was his last thought before he saw the heavy lights of a Simi overtaking him... the driver was drunk and crossed the median hitting the man head on... Miroku didn't stand a chance and died before the jaws of life could even cut him free from the Thunderbird which now appeared as a accordion blood soaked and glass shattered to shards... when they retrieved his body his fist clanged to a velvet box and a dozen roses tiny droplets of moisture escaping to the sea.

-O- Sango

Kagome called Sango down stairs late that night in a very worried tone, making Sango throw on her robe and run down the stairs

The police man took off his hat as did his young partner and shook Sango's hand a sad expression worn like a mask on his old tired face. He introduced himself in the hint of a Scottish accent. (It's too late to type that you use your imagination)

"Hello Mrs. Hoshi, I'm Police Captain Connor Kincaid, this is my partner Duncan McCloud … and Mrs. Hoshi I have some very unfortunate news, two hours ago your husband's car was hit head on by a drunk driver… a semi, we couldn't save em' ma'am I'm sorry, by the time life flight got to em' he had already reached the other side… there was nothing the doctors could have done, but when we found him he was clutching this in his hands." The younger officer handed the items to the now widowed woman.

Sango's tears turned into sobs, loud angry sobs as she opened the velvet box.. The ring inside was white gold and held on it a gold butterfly between silver roses.

" Fly high my butterfly and know that I love you- M.H."

'It's not true…he can't be dead…he's not, I won't believe it!' her mind screamed at her as her fist clinched with fury. The officers bowed their heads in respect or pity and left wishing the women good luck.

Sango fell to her knees without the power to stand anymore Kagome's arms were smacked away from the weeping woman in her anger.

Kagome couldn't help but shed tears her best friend had been though to much… for any woman…any human being to go thorough…seeing her best friend like this was…heartbreaking.

With out a word Sango ran from the apartment and drove tires searching down the blacktop street.

The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm

-Miroku's Funeral-

It was raining when they put him in the ground and black umbrellas reached high up to the saddened sky like tissue to catch the tears of the depressed heavens. There were tears, people dressed in black asking themselves and perhaps God why and how such an awful thing could happen to the kind hearted man who now laid in a closed casket the rain drops dancing on the sleek black coffin. The preacher man said some words all seemed so comforting so warm even on the coldest of days. Inuyasha clothed in a modest black suit Kagome most likely made him wear stood to speak trying to not let his anger at the truck driver who would now have his death by the state, his anger at himself though he did not know why and his anger at Miroku Hoshi himself for leavening

"I'm not very good at this so bare with me, but I thought I'd tell you a little about the man we are here to bid a final farewell …Final that still doesn't feel right to me. Miroku and I were born and raised in the same little town, we went to the same elementary school and later the same high school. Miroku loved many things he's favorite band was Van Halen and he played saxophone and guitar well… still he had a weakness," Inuyasha allowed himself a smirk and a chuckle. "He always loved the ladies red heads, blonds, brunettes…he didn't have a standard…well we grew up and things changed but he was always my best friend… If I ever needed his help he was always there the same with anyone else he was the greatest of us all no man could do half of the things he did with his life no man would…so I'll stop rambling now and end with this…" He grabbed a lighter from his pocket and held it up to the sky. "Here's to you man…I'll miss ya."

Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself, "I will make it on my own"
And her friends they've all gone back to their lives
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home

Someone else went up to speak but Sango's attention was directed to a black car pulling up… she eyed the car wondering who would show up to one of these tardy, then she saw them… Long thin, cream colored legs in black high heels followed by their owner 's hourglass figure, sparkling green eyes and fire red hair. Sango's hawk like eyes followed her to the side of the casket, that woman had some nerve showing her face here after all the damage caused in her name. Sango walked up behind the woman and tapped her shoulder lightly a look of disgust written plainly on her face.


"Rain Plant…your not welcomed here…leave." Sango pointed to the woman's car firmly.

"Mrs. Hoshi, I realize you have every right to be angry but I had no intention of taking him away from you I never wanted his heart only his body and my name on his lips." Sango watched the woman's body shake with her laughter, anger welling up to the point where she couldn't stand it she came at Rain with a mean right hook, connecting it into the lady's nose. Rain fell like a stone holding her bleeding nose.

"He is dead because of her… He was with her… she seduced him… It's all her fault he is gone!"

"You Bitch!" Rain snarled at the woman. "It's Fucking broken!"

"Get up! Get up so I can beat the shit out of you!" Sango screamed at her, fist clinched ready to attack again.

"Fine then you wench I'll kill you!" Rain yelled getting to her feet. At this time they had caught the crowd's attention and Sesshoumaru grabbed Rain's arms and pulled her away while Inuyasha had did the same with Sango.

"That's enough, Ladies and I use that term loosely, whatever grudge you may have agents each other settle it someplace else this is not the time nor the place to do it. We are here to honor my late business partner's memory and you will not fight her…Kill each other I don't care just do it somewhere else!" came Sesshoumaru's loud demanding voice making the two shut up and behave themselves like good puppies.

The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm

-O- One week later Sesshoumaru's office

Sesshoumaru sipped his coffee and read his morning paper like he did everyday… till one article caught his eye…

YOUNG WOMAN FOUND DEAD

Rain Plant, personal secretary of the late Miroku Hoshi, was found dead last night. It is believed that she was attacked on her way home in the late hours of the evening. Plant was found in her personal bed, beating as though she was in a one sided fight. Her neighbors had nothing to say on the matter, many claiming "she just lived there and didn't socialize with anyone in the building.' Police are not publicizing the details of the attack as of this time.
