Disclaimer: Woops...sorry FanFiction.net operatives, I forgot to put the disclaimer on my last chapter...well here it is: I do not pwnz Inuyasha or any of the related characters. Rumiko Takahashi is the founder.

   A/N: sorry for the misspellings and structure of the last chapter...I typed it up in about 15 minutes and didn't really proofread it. A/N: (Another Note) second chapter of my first fic


                  Key:

                            Lost Miroku: Painful Memories for Sango




        The pain was setting in, and it was all Miroku could do to not scream. As the winds grew increasingly wilder and louder, Sango's worried thoughts grew and grew.

                
                "Miroku! Damn it! You can't die now!" Sango shouted over the deafening sound of the wind.

       
        Though the sound waves were distorted by the wind, Miroku heard that Sango was saying and just nodded.

   
      Sango just stood there, not knowing what to do. She could see the skin around Miroku's hand being stretched and pulled into the hole. No sooner had she made this observation, with one last shout of "ARGH!" Miroku was literally sucked in and disappeared. The only thing left of him was a crater and his staff. The staff had not been sucked in because of the power of Houriki and Miroku's own power.


        Bowing her head down so her bangs covered her eyes, so there was a shadow over her eyes like the shadow covering her life now; she cried. Two trails of tears, on each cheek, trailed itself down, and met behind her chin. There, the tears hung suspended in midair, and fell to the ground. Landing with a small splash, all that was left was a dark area.


                "Kuso...Miroku..." she sobbed before padding away slowly back to camp...

                        
                                                         ¯\_.'– The Events at Camp –'._/¯


                "You little twerp Shippou! Get back here!" shouted a raging and blushing Inuyasha as he chased Shippou around for teasing Inuyasha about him not getting together with Kagome yet.


         Kagome, who hadn't heard a single word Shippou said, got a little 'upset' when she saw Inuyasha beating Shippou down. This was the fifth time they had fought and she was getting quite tired of it. Something had to be done.


                        "SIT!!!"


                "ARGH!" followed by the sound of a person hitting the ground hard enough so that it makes a crater.


        Satisfied with this, Kagome turned around and tried to study when she heard sobbing coming from the direction Miroku and Sango had went. With her curiousity piqued, she got up, and slowly walked over to where the sound came from. Getting closer to the sounds of sobbing, she realized it was Sango and instantly Kagome got worried. Parting the leaves of the bush the sobs came from, she saw Sango crying.


                "Sango! What's wrong? Did Miroku grope you again?!?"


                    "N-n-no...It's Mi-M-Miroku...He—" Sango stumbled on but was cut-off by a very impatient and worried Kagome.


                        "What? What? What'd he do?" asked a very jumpy and worried Kagome.


                     "M-Miroku...the Kazaana...i-it...s-s-sucked him in!" and with this final outburst, Sango grabbed Kagome and started crying in her chest.


                "Nani?!?!? Miroku's de—" Kagome stopped what she was saying because she knew saying that would just cause more pain. Instead, she just patted Sango's back, not caring that her shirt was getting wet and started to cry herself.

           
        Meanwhile, back at the camp, Inuyasha and Shippou had stopped fighting, and with their enhanced demon hearing, heard every single word that went between Kagome and Sango.


                "Neh...Shippou. Go cheer up Kago—I mean them. Go cheer _them_ up."


                        "But Inuyasha..." Shippou whined, "how am I supposed to cheer the up when it's _MIROKU_ who died? I think it would easier to cheer them up if _YOU_ died."


                "Shippou..." Inuyasha said while making a fist and Shippou *EEP'ED*. "Forget it, you twerp, just do some of your *cough* 'cute' stuff okay? GO NOW or I will kill you."


        Scared out of his wits, Shippou did a salute and hopped over to Kagome and Sango. On the way there, it finally hit him...


                'OI!!! MIROKU'S DEAD!' Thinking that, Shippou stopped in midair and landed on his butt, with large watery eyes.

               
                "WAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


         Inuyasha, being the tough guy he was, was slightly affected by Miroku's death, but wasn't going to start crying anytime soon. One thing he hated though, was seeing Kagome terribly sad about something. And since Shippou had failed his mission, Inuyasha decided that his beating would have to wait until later. His first priority was making sure that Kagome stopped crying, and maybe Sango too.


        Walking over to the 'weaker' ones of his group, he decided that they were wusses and should be strong. (Though he knew he would be crying or moping if KAGOME died but didn't think about this)


                "Feh...you two are so weak. Though Miroku might not be in this world, you will see him again. I guarantee it." Somehow, some way, what he said worked; or maybe it was because Kagome and Sango had cried too much and were out of liquid. Either way, they started to calm down.


                        "But Inuyasha," Kagome almost whispered, "Miroku is dead. We can't just forget about him."


                "Kagome...even though Miroku was a great friend, when one is dead, there is nothing we can do. It's starting to get dark, so I think we should sleep on this."


         Kagome and Sango nodded, and turned in for the night, even though Inuyasha heard the occasional sob and whimper from Sango. All he heard from Kagome though was snoring which comforted him like a mother's lullaby which made him fall asleep...


                                                +—¬ Sometime During the Middle of the Night +—«~`¬—


        Sango woke up during the middle of the night. The reason for this, was because she felt like something was telling her to go to the houshi's place of death. While walking to her destination. The thoughts of all the times she was with Miroku came tumbling back to her like an avalanche. She didn't cry, but she was just increasingly saddened by the fact all the fun times they had together wouldn't come back. Then the most heartbreaking thing hit her...she never had the time to express her love for him. With these thoughts in mind, she arrived at her destination and stopped as if she were waiting for something. She didn't know what she was waiting for, but had a feeling something was coming. A cold wind blew against her back, and she turned around. What she saw frightened her, but she did not run, because, among the trees, a ghostly blue figure looked out. The figure of the figure was none other, than Miroku, the houshi...
