Chapter 11

"What is it Miroku?" asked Sango when they had gotten to a clearing that was away from the village.

"Remember, I told you one day, that my wind tunnel shall devour me?" asked the monk.

Shock came to her face. "Y-yes, I remember."

"And, that the only to prevent this fate from happening was to kill Naraku?"

Tears ere now in her eyes. "Yes, I-I remember that too."

"Well Sango, I do not think that my fate has changed any since then. And now, I am going to have to leave you, to keep you and Mirango out of harms way." he said.

"You can't!" her was now in full blast in Miroku's arms. "I won't let you leave me, I'll come with you, but I won't let you leave by yourself!" she yelled.

"But, Mirango will need you, besides, I'd raher be alone on my last journey."

"NO! YOU CAN'T! I WON'T LET YOU!!"

"But, Sango-"

"I'll come with you, just give me five minutes to get ready, please, Miroku, please?" she begged as she fell to her knees still bawling.

"Yes, alright, but who will look after Mirango?" but, she was already gone.

"Kagome? Could you look after Mirango for me? I'm going on a journey with Miroku." said Sango as she walked back into the cottage.

"Of course but, where will you be going?" asked Kagome, still in InuYasha's arms.

"I can't answer that." she replied.

"Mommy? Me come to?"

"No Mirango, Mommy and Daddy are going on this journey alone, but Mommy will come back okay?"

"Okay Mommy!" he replid as he got up and gave her a hug.

"Thank you Kagome. Mommy loves you baby." with that, she went back outside.

"InuYasha, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Kagome.

"Oh yeah, just let me go find out if we're right, okay?"

"Yeah, okay." They then kissed on the lips, (which nobody found wierd anymore), then, InuYasha got up and left. "Hey Miroku." he said just as they were about to get on Kirara.

"What is it InuYasha?" he asked back. He had become such a man after he married Sango.

"Kagome and I were wondering, does this journey have anything to do with your windtunnel?"

"Yes, it does."

"Well then, I guess this is goodbye for good."

"I'm soory that I had to leave this way, but I didn't want to depress anymore than what I had to."

"If that's the way things have to be then so be it, but do me a favor. When you get to the afterlife, tell my mom all about Tenaji and Saroona."

"Saroona?"

"Oops, sorry.she's kind of a new addition to our growing family. Do you want to come see her before you leave?"

"Gladly, I should also see Mirango before I go too." so, instead og leaving immediately, they all went back to Kaede's. InuYasha went in first and picked up Saroona.

"Miroku, are you leaving because of your-?" she said as she pointed to her hand.

"Yes, it is, but how did you find out so quickly?"

"You forget easily Miroku, Kagome is a very smart woman." informed Sango. Then, Kgaome began to get up, but she was wobbling so much she could hardly stand. So, InuYasha quickly handed Saroona to Sango then, rushed over to help Kagome.

"Kagome, you shouldn't bo trying to get up in your condition." he whispered into her ear.

"InuYasha," she whispered back, "if this is the last time I'm ever going to see him, then I have to get up." she waited a minute for any response whatsoever. "Fine then, help me InuYasha, please?"

"Yeah okay," he replied stubbornly. Then, carefully and slowly, InuYasha helped her to her destination, Miroku.

"Miroku, I'm so sorry." she said as she hugged him for the first time.

"There, there Kagome, you'll see me again, but not too soon I hope." he said with a somewhat fake smile.

"Miroku?" said Kagome.

"Um, yes?"

"Would you help me back to my bed please?"

"Of course I will Kagome, of course." But, instead of taking her to bed, she decided to sit on InuYasha's lap. "Now, may I hold Saroona?" he asked Sango for she was the one holding the silent infant.

"Of course, here you go Miroku." said Sango as she handed Saroona over to him. Then, Sango ran out og the room crying.

Sango," said Miroku.

"No Miroku, let me. Uh." said Kagome getting up again.

"Please Kagome, allow your strength to return." pleaded InuYasha.

"If we weren't in such dractic times right now, I would, But Sango needs me. So please help me once more InuYasha."

"Yeah, okay." said InuYasha as Miroku put Saroona in the crib.

"Mirango, please come with me." demanded the caring father.

"Yes, Daddy." replied Mirango getting up, not knowing that his father was about to leave him forever.
