A/N Once again, sorry I haven't updated in forever, a lot has been going on but at least it's here now!

Oh, I need your help, I've been saving up money to buy something, and I got money for my birthday so now I have enough, but I don't know which to get... The Iphone or the Ipod Touch....

If I were to get any of them I would wait till the 4th generation came out... The IPhone will have a camera in the front but the plan is really expensive, it's like $65 a month with only 75 texts... If I were to get the Ipod Touch, I would also wait for the new one to come out, it's supposedly going to have a camera in the back... What would you do? Tell me in reviews or PM me!

On with the story!

Pain and Suffering

"I told you not to touch me," Sango yelled. It was Sunday night, Sango and Miroku were on the couch in Sango's living room watching a movie

"You know I can't do that my dear Sango, you're body is just too tempting for me to resist!" Miroku rubbed the red hand print on his face.

"You're lucky I'm even going out with you, I never wanted to get into a relationship... There's just too much on my plate and I don't know if I can finish it...."

Hearing the sadness in her voice Miroku new he had to do something. "Don't worry Sango, you'll get through this I know you will, you have me here don't you? Not to mention Kagome and Inuyasha, your friends are here to support you."

"Yeah, I guess you're ri..."

"You think you can tell me what I can and can't do!" Came a feminine voice from another room.

"You're damn right I can! I'm the one who makes the money in this family and what do you do? All you do is spend the money that I work for," yelled a masculine voice.

"I can't put up with you anymore! You make it seem like you own me! You have no right to judge what I do. And you're the one to talk! I know that there's another woman!"

"What the hell are you talking about! You think I'm the one that's cheating! I'm always the one that's home when expected but where are you huh?!"

Sango was blocking her ears with her eyes shut tight and mumbling to herself, "No more, no more, please just stop!"

Miroku over heard her and he eyed her with worry painted on his face. She was startles when he grabbed her and wrapped her in his arms holding her tight with one hand stroking her head.

"Miroku..."

"Shhh, Sango, you shouldn't have to go through this alone, no one should, let me help you get through with this. Just remember, I'll always be here for you."

"Thank you Miroku..." she said so low it was almost a whisper. He started to feel her tremble and knew she had started crying. He rubbed her back soothingly and kept her head tucked tightly on his shoulder.

"Um... Sango..." Miroku loosened his grip and turned her around to where her twelve year old brother stood.

Sango turned around and quickly wiped her eyes dry. "Kohaku! You're not supposed to be up, the doctor says you need to stay in bed!"

"Sango, I feel fine, I've been sitting in bed all day... and... I can't sleep anyways with Mom and Dad fighting like that..."

Sango's eyes softened at the look on Kohaku's face. "Come here Kohaku."

Kohaku slowly walked towards his sister and bent sat down so they were at eye level. "What is it?"

Sango hugged him tightly and whispered into his ear, "you have to be strong Kohaku, do it for me. I'll get us through this a promise."

"Okay Sango," he said hugging her back. Miroku watched the siblings as they had their special moment.

"Kohaku, please go and get some rest," she said releasing her brother slowly.

"Okay, I'll try." He began walking back to his room when he suddenly collapsed, earning a gasp of horror from Sango as she watched her little brother fall before her eyes.

"KOHAKU!" Sango shot up and ran to her brother kneeling beside him. Miroku followed closely behind not knowing what to do. Seconds later a door slammed open and out came two running adults.

"What happened to him," demanded the tall man.

"Is he alright," questions the women panicking beside him.

"I don't know, call the doctor, the ambulance. Just don't stand there, it's not going to help with anything!" Sango's head was tilted forward, her bangs covered her eyes and tears streamed down her face. She held her unconscious brother close, his head resting on her arm, little drops of sweat covered his forehead, his breathing was shallow and moved rapidly under his eyelids.

Sango's mother was the first to move, she ran to the phone and called 911, "Hello... Yes... It's my son, please come quick with the ambulance... the address is 4590 Slayers Avenue... Please hurry!" She hung up the phone and ran back to where her daughter and son sat on the floor.

"Miroku, please help me bring Kohaku to his bed, he needs to lie down." Her bangs were still covering her eyes and her voice still quivered, her body shook and her grip tightened.

"Of course, here let me take him." Miroku rushed towards Sango and picked up Kohaku bridal style. He carried Kohaku to his room and laid him gently on the bed.

"Thank you Miroku..." Sango walked up to Kohaku's side and dropped to her knees besides him breaking out into a new set of tears. She grabbed Kohaku's hand and held it tight, kissing his hand occasionally and then putting her head back down. Miroku sat awkwardly beside her rubbing her back.

Minutes passed until the sound of sirens was finally able to be heard. Soon enough a frantic knocking was at the door.

From Kohaku's room, Sango was able to hear the men at the door. "Ma'am, we got a call saying that your son was in need of the ambulance, is that right?"

"Yes it is, please come in." The footsteps got closer and closer. A little light of hope could be seen in Sango's chestnut eyes.

"Little Miss, I'm going to need you to step away from him, the paramedics are going to be coming in with a stretcher."

"Of course." Sango moved to the side with Miroku by her side, watching as the paramedics hussled into the room bringing a stretcher with them. Sango watched as the two men picked up her brother and placed him on the stretcher, followed by a mask that covered his nose and mouth. The hurried out of the house and pushed it into the ambulance.

Sango and her parents went into the car, not knowing what to do Miroku said, "I guess, I'll see you tomorrow Sango, I really hope Kohaku gets better."

Before he could leave Sango grabbed his wrist, "no, please don't go, stay with me, I need you here with me Miroku!" Miroku stared at her for a little and then quickly got into the car beside her.

There fingers were tightly intertwined with each other the whole way there while Sango's head rested on Miroku's shoulder. Once they arrived they rushed into the hospital, they asked one of the nurses where they could find Kohaku.

"I'm sorry, but you can't see him at the moment, the doctors are doing their best to regulate his breathing and trying to find the source of what happened. Please, sit down and one of the nurses will tell you when you can see him. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine."

"Thank you." Sango held on to Miroku's hand as she sat down, pulling him down with her. He picked her up from her chair and placed her on his lap then wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned her head back so it was resting on his shoulder and placed her hands on top of his.

"He's going to get through this Sango, Kohaku's a strong boy, besides, he is your brother after all!"

"I guess so, thanks again for doing all this Miroku and I'm sorry I'm making you stay with me."

"Don't worry about it Sango, you know I'd do anything for you." He kissed her cheek and leaned his chin on her shoulder.

She placed one hand on the back of his head and ran her fingers through his hair. When one of the doctors walked out of from the room Kohaku was in, Sango quickly got up and looked at the man in the white lab coat.

"How is he? Is he going to be okay?"

"He's going to be fine Miss Isamashii. For now it would be best for only family members to visit. Tomorrow, non-family members can visit. I would like Kohaku to stay under our watch for at least 48 hours."

"Of course, I'll let my mother know later. Thank you Doctor." Sango started making her way to Kohaku's room when she turned to face Miroku. "Again, thank you for everything Miroku, you don't have to stay here anymore... I guess I'll see you tomorrow... actually, I might not be there tomorrow, don't tell Kagome, she'll just freak out... I'm sorry for putting you through all of this." She ran back over to Miroku and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then ran back and disappeared into the room.

Miroku held his cheek tenderly and thought to himself, I think I might really like her. He made himself more comfortable on the chair. With no plan of leaving anytime soon he leaned his head back and closed his eyes as a small smile made its way to his lips. Sorry Inuyasha but you're going to have to wait.

He leaned further back in his chair and braced himself for the long night ahead of him.
