Betrayal


Note to all readers of Kaori's fic:


Yes, this is a rewrite of her's. In fact, she asked me personally to do this, because she hasn't got the time, nor the want to write. I have no idea, frankly. But, I will finish it, and she's already told me what she has the ending to be. I just have to fill in the middle.


Also, to all the reviewers of the fic, thanks, and it will help me work out this version of the story.


Oh, and I know Miroku would never join with Naraku. There's a validable reason why he did.

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, although I have been wanting Miroku for quite some time....


Warnings- Major OOC-ness, especially for Miroku.

Betrayed


Sango looked into Miroku's eyes, which were filled with sadness. She didn't return the look. Instead, she looked at him as if he was a disease, now. He had betrayed their entire group, and no amount of time nor love could erase it.

"I'm sorry, Sango," He whispered. "I'm so sorry..."


Flashback


Fire, everywhere. Naraku had set the entire village on fire, and had locked almost every villager in there. Miroku and Sango were fighting him, for Kagome and Inuyasha were in her time, fighting a demon who had gained control of a few Shikon shards.

"Houshi-sama, watch out behind you!" She yelled, as she dodged a few of Kagura's fan attacks. She used Hiraikotsu a few times, although the fans got sharper, and faster. Eventually the boomerang would be toothpicks if she didn't put it away.

Sango looked over at Miroku, who was fighting Naraku himself. It seemed like a one-sided fight. Miroku, just a monk, was trying to fight a youkai. Sure, he's done this a million times before, but he couldn't use the kazaana. The poison bees (a/n- I still can't remember their names!) would just poison him if he did.

"Shippou, get Inuyasha and Kagome!" Miroku yelled at the kitsune, who was hiding behind a boulder. Shippou dashed off towards the well, when Miroku, seeing no blind spots in Naraku's defense, ran off, coincidentally the same path Shippou went. Naraku followed the houshi.

After Sango had finally finished fighting Kagura, she ran off in the direction of Miroku and Naraku. It was then that she saw his body on the ground. Frightened, she ran up to it.

"Houshi-sama? Are you alright?" she asked. He looked dead to her, so she checked his pulse, as Kagome's 'spell-books' told her. It was very weak.

"Sango... he's fine... but you'd be smart if you walked a little bit away from him," Naraku's cold voice said behind her. "Kukuku..." She glared at the youkai, and picked up Miroku's body.

"YOU WON'T TAKE HIM!" She screamed. "I WON'T LET YOU!"

"I already have... Miroku wake up."

Miroku shifted, and opened his violet eyes. Sango looked down at the monk, and noticed the rosaries covering the kazaana on his palm was gone.

"Houshi-sama, your kazaana, it's gone... but... Naraku's still here," Sango said. "What happened?"

"He promised he'd take it away," He said, holding it up.

"You betrayed us," Sango whispered.

"Sango, you must listen to me," He said. "Believe me, I didn't..."

"You betrayed.... me..."


End of Flashback


Sango took one more look at Miroku, straightened her posture, got upon the now-transformed Kirara (a/n- NOT Kilala!!!) and flew off. Miroku felt guilt weigh heavily on his heart.

He collapsed in sobs. And he could hear Naraku's evil laugh, "Kukuku... come slave..."
