May 29

We turned around and saw the two halves of Akumasu come to life and now there were two Akumasu's glaring at us menacingly. "I'm not dead yet."

"Damn it," Inuyasha said. Both of us raised our weapons to fight him again.

Suddenly Miroku came up behind one of the Akumasu's and slashed him across his back with his staff making him fall to his knees with blood splashing out. "Damn you, monk!" He stood up and slashed at Miroku with his long claws.

The other Akumasu came at Inuyasha and I.

"Adamant barrage!" Inuyasha exclaimed, sending adamant shards out of his Tetsusaiga. But they were sent flying back at him. He jumped in front of me and blocked it with the Tetsusaiga. He then ran back at Akumasu slashing at him furiously with his sword but Akumasu wouldn't allow him to hurt him again.

He chuckled. "We can do this all day, Inuyasha. You can't beat me."

"There's no way in hell I'm gonna let you win," Inuyasha said.

Suddenly a spider-like tentacle shot out of Akumasu and grabbed me. "AH!" I tried to break free but the more I struggled, the tighter he squeezed cutting off my breathing.

"Let her go!" Inuyasha shouted. He tried to break the tentacle but the Tetsusaiga wouldn't cut through it. He tried desperately again and again to break it but he couldn't. I screamed and was starting to get pale from the lack of breath. With Akumasu's tentacle so tight around my stomach, my only thought was of the baby and I became terrified.

I could see in Inuyasha's eyes that he was thinking about the baby too and I could tell he was panicking. "Hey Miroku, help me out here!"

Miroku, however, was still in a fight with the other Akumasu. "I'm a little busy right now, Inuyasha."

"Thanks a lot," Inuyasha said, annoyed. He used the wind scar although he was reluctant thinking it would be deflected but apparently, the tentacles couldn't deflect anything and it was sliced straight through. He jumped up and caught me before I fell and landed on the ground a few yards away. Meanwhile, I was coughing and trying to catch my breath but I was relieved that he had saved me before it was too late.

He gave me a quick hug. "Stay right here." He started to fight Akumasu again. After a few minutes of going back and forth with their swords, he ended up slicing Akumasu to pieces and Miroku had cut the other Akumasu in half again. But they were starting to reassemble. Was there any way they could defeat this guy?

I raised my bow and arrow. It seemed like the only way was to hit them in the right spot to purify them and destroy them. I strung two arrows at the same time, a skill I had become fairly good at since my time training with Anana last year.

"Don't miss," I said to myself, and I shot the arrows.

They hit both Akumasu's and they glowed as they were purified but they screamed in pain and then exploded.

I was still a little weak from being nearly choked to death. I dropped my bow and arrow and my legs nearly gave out on me. Inuyasha ran over and caught me before I could fall. "Are you okay?"

I nodded. "I'll be okay."

Shippo came over to us. "He should have known better. No one can beat us!"

Inuyasha and I nodded in agreement. "Where's Miroku?" I said.

We saw him standing behind us and went over to him.

"Where's Sango?" he said.

"She…" I remembered she'd gotten crushed by those rocks. "Oh no."

The realization that Sango was dead came to him like a hard slap in the face. He dropped to his knees with his face in his hands. "I can't believe this," his voice was thick with sadness. "I should have saved her…I should have…"

I bent down to him and hugged him as he sobbed. "It's not your fault Miroku."

Shippo started crying. "Sango and Kirara are dead!"

Then Inuyasha heard something. "Quit your crying Miroku, she's still alive."

Miroku looked up at him. "She is?"

Inuyasha ran over to where Sango was buried under the rocks and we followed him. He started throwing the rocks aside not paying attention to where he was throwing them.

Miroku, Shippo, and I tried to move out of the way as the rocks rained down. "Watch it, Inuyasha!" Shippo exclaimed, nearly getting crushed by a particularly large one.

Finally, he saw her. He reached down and grabbed her hand and a relieved look washed over her face.

"Sango!" Miroku exclaimed.

She pushed past Inuyasha and nearly threw herself into Miroku's arms. "Miroku!"

He kissed her lips. "I was so worried about you, honey. Are you okay?"

Inuyasha glared at them with his arms crossed. "'Thank you for saving me, Inuyasha'," he mumbled, imitating Sango's high voice. "I never get any appreciation."

"Thank you for saving me, Inuyasha."

His ear twitched as he heard Sango's voice behind him. He turned around and saw Sango standing behind him and he got confused. "Wha…but you were just over there…how did you…?"

I laughed. "Shippo stop messing with Inuyasha."

"Shippo!" Inuyasha exclaimed. He punched him in the head and he turned back into his normal self. "Why you…!"

"AHH!" Shippo started running and Inuyasha chased after him.

I couldn't help but laugh. It was an adventure just like in the old days. Miroku and Sango continued to hug each other while Inuyasha chased Shippo around, and I put my hand on my stomach just glad that the baby was okay.
