Chapter 14: Dealing with Things

"So how do you feel about this," Miroku asked taking Sango's hand. She had been awfully quiet and it worried him.

Sango took a deep breath, the shock was lifting off of her and she turned to her husband, "Surprised, I figured we were going to start a family, but I didn't know it would be so soon."

Miroku nodded, after the shock left him he got a feeling of joy, but he wasn't sure she felt the safe, "Sango," he shifted his body to face her.

She turned her head and looked at him, "What," she asked.

"Are you happy," Miroku asked her wanting to know how she deeply felt. Sango bit her bottom lip and gazed into his dark blue eyes, he looked concerned.

She frowned at this, 'was he worried that I'm not happy about this?' she thought to herself.

'Does she think this was a mistake,' Miroku wondered.

Then he saw her smile and nod, "Yeah, I am," she answered a happy tear rolling down her cheek. She sniffled as she was now crying with happiness and laughed a little as Miroku's smile grew, perhaps to its fullest extent.

'She's the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world' Miroku thought wrapping her into a romantic hug, "Me too."

'I'm glad he is happy about this,' Sango thought smiling as she hugged him back.

Shippo burst through the hut, "Sorry you two, but a demon attacked," Shippo said frightened.

Miroku and Sango looked at each other. Miroku ran outside to help the others.

"Shippo, you stay here," Sango ordered putting her slayer outfit on like she always did to fight a demon like she always did, not even thinking about her being pregnant. Grabbing her weapon, she rushed outside.

The demon was a huge snake with its front part extended above them what seemed to be fifty feet and its lower part coiled on the ground.

"Lady Kaede, please go back inside while we handle this demon," Miroku ordered, not noticing Sango behind him.

"Kirara," Miroku heard Sango yell and saw her jump on the cat demon's back and took off into the sky, her boomerang ready.

"Sango, no," he yelled. "Sango, be careful," Kagome yelled.

But Sango ignored them.

She shouted the name of her great weapon and let it go, aiming for its head.

The boomerang hit the top of its head and made a big gash along side it and making it angry.

The massive snake squirmed in pain and shot a beam of light towards Sango, but Kirara dodged it just in time.

"Kirara, come back," Miroku ordered getting mad himself, 'how could she go and risk the baby like that.'

Kirara obeyed as she joined Inuyasha, Kagome and Miroku. "What the hell do you think you're doing," Miroku asked as Sango jumped off of Kirara with a frown.

"What do you think, I'm trying to kill the demon," Sango argued back, not in the mood.

"Sango let us take care of it, please," Kagome said trying to be nice, figuring she didn't need to be yelled at with what she was going through.

"Stay out of it Kagome," Inuyasha growled turning to Kagome, "She has every right getting yelled at," Sango glared at him, 'excuse me,' she thought.

Inuyasha continued, "She shouldn't be dealing with demons, she should let us take care of them."

Sango turned to Miroku, "Look, it is my duty in life to kill demons, I..AM..A DEMON SLAYER," she said making sure to emphasize on the last two words.

"I KNOW, BUT YOU'RE DUTY RIGHT NOW IS TO PROTECT OUR CHILD," Miroku yelled. Everyone went quiet; they had forgotten they were dealing with a demon, which was having time to recuperate.

Sango stood there, shocked by not only how he had shouted at her, but the words themselves. All the years after being taught to slay demons and being a demon slayer made it hard for her to just give that up all of a sudden. She never thought of the day she would have to quit what she was born to do because she was pregnant.

Miroku's face softened from the furious one he had shown as he thought about how harsh he sounded.

The group heard something behind them and they turned, the demon had shot a ball of energy right at them and because it was so big, they had no time to get out of the way.
