Dialog- "Meep meep meep."
Thoughts- 'Meep meep meep.'
Authors Note- Wow, I've gotten a number of reviews so far and I'm very happy that people are interested in my story. Chapter 3 takes place about 2 weeks after Miroku's death. The gang is currently camping out by a small hillside. This chapter will have a bit less action than in the previous chapters. It will have a big fight scene near the end though.. Also note any time Miroku is included in the chapter I'm referring to his ghost. Thank you! Hope you enjoy ^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango lay sleepily on the quiet hillside. Her bangs blew about in her face as she gazed up at the stars and imagined seeing Miroku's face in them Tears swelled in her eyes at the thought of the monk she had loved and lost. 'Miroku, even now I can't get you out of my head. In every thing I do and in everything I see it all reminds me of you. My heart aches to see you again.'
Miroku watched Sango lay by her lonesome on the peaceful hillside. A sinking feeling ran deep in his heart at the thought of her sitting alone as though she was still waiting for someone. 'Are you still suffering Sango? Why, do you still think of me? You know I'm gone and I won't come back. So, why then.Why do you wait? Why do you wait for me to come back?' "Sango."
"Huh?" Sango diverted her attention away from the sky and looked around in a confused manner. "I could have sworn I heard Miroku's voice.Oh man I must be loosing my mind. What's going on here?"
Miroku watched as Sango looked around for the voice she heard. His face had an intrigued smile upon it. 'I wonder if she really can hear me.' "Sango I miss you."
"What the hell.Now I know I must be going crazy." 'Why can I hear Miroku's voice? Why can I hear him telling him he misses me? This makes no sense. I have to be delusional or something.' Sango left her peaceful hillside and started walking back to camp.
~~~~~~~~Mean while back at the camp~~~~~~~
Kagome sat quickly by the fire. Starring deep into the flames thinking of what had transpired these past few weeks. She let out a deep sigh and looked over at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome with a confused look in his face. "Is something the matter Kagome? You're usually jabbering about something you're never this quiet."
Kagome showed an annoyed face but went back to starring at the fire. "Nothing is really wrong.I'm just worried about Sango that's all. She's been going off on her own a lot lately and never seems to eat anything anymore."
"Ya, I know what you mean. I think she just still really misses Miroku. She really loved the guy. I feel bad about the whole matter. It was my fault that Miroku died. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I feel so guilty."
Kagome bit down on her lip and looked back over at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha you shouldn't blame yourself. You did the right thing in trying to keep Miroku here with us. You just went a bit overboard that's all.Besides Sango will be able to get over it. You need to forgive yourself first though if you're going to keep moving on."
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome full of contempt in his eyes. "Forgive myself? I don't know if I can do that at the moment. I understand what you're saying though. Maybe this whole matter will resolve itself in time. I don't know. I'm not sure of anything anymore."
Kagome moved herself closer to Inuyasha and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. She nuzzled her face in close next to his. "Inuyasha you need to gain your confidence back. I'm really worried about you." Tears began to swell up in Kagome's eyes. "Please just forgive yourself. The longer you wait the more you're hurting yourself."
"Kagome." Inuyasha put his hand on Kagome's hand that was resting on his shoulders and squeezed it tight. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine, I just need to think things over." Inuyasha looked up at the sky with and kept his head there for a moment deep in thought. 'Miroku, please forgive me. I'm so sorry.'
'What's he thinking about?' Kagome looked up at Inuyasha her eyes full of concern. "Where do you suppose Sango is?"
"I'm not sure but she'll be back soon, I'm sure of it."
Sango's figured appeared on the very edge of camp. She slowly made her way towards the campfire where Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting. "Hey guys. What's going on?"
"Huh?" Kagome turned her attention to Sango with a surprise look in her face. "Oh, Sango I didn't realize you were back. Nothings going on Inuyasha and I were just discussing some things. Where did you run off to anyway?"
"Me? I just went off somewhere to clear my head. It's strange for some reason I could hear Miroku-sama's voice. Weird huh?"
Kagome had a perplexed look on her face. She really didn't know what to say at that moment. She thought Sango was beginning to loose her mind or something.
Sango immediately was taken back by the strange look she got from Kagome and made an upset face of her own. "Don't look at me like I'm crazy Kagome. I know what I heard."
"I'm not doubting you Sango, I just think we could all use a good night sleep, so we can start fresh in the morning."
Sango nodded and angrily walk to over her tent and began getting ready for bed. 'Why did Kagome have to look at me like that? I feel like a complete idiot now. I know what I heard. I know I'm not going crazy.' *Sigh* "Houshi- sama, I need you so badly right now." Sango sat in her tent her face buried in-between her legs. As she sat there tears began to streak down her face and she let out a few muffled cries. 'Miroku, even now I shed tears thinking of you. I want you! I miss you!'
"This isn't fair!" Sango began to cry uncontrollably so loud and so sad it could reach the heavens. Everything inside her was poring out every tear was like a piece of her heart being ripped out everyday. "I'm in hell without you Miroku! I need you damnit!"
A single tear fell down Miroku's face. He could hardly bear watching Sango suffer like this. When she cried he wanted to cry, when she felt pain he felt her pain, and when she was happy he was happy. 'I'm connected to her; I can't stop thinking of her. I don't want to be separated from her. I need her and she needs me. We need each other.' "We need each other damnit!" Now Miroku began to cry without restraint as well. He too was in torment without Sango by his side.
"What in the hell was that? I could have sworn I heard I heard someone yelling. Did you hear it too Kagome?"
"Ya, I did Inuyasha. It must be Sango; she's still hurting badly. She still misses Miroku terribly. Her heart is aching; she's suffering. It's sad I wish we could help her, but I don't know how to heal broken hearts."
Inuyasha looked down at the ground and back up Kagome. "Neither do I Kagome.Neither do I." Inuyasha got up from his spot next to the fire and motioned for his tent. "I'm going to bed now and you should too. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow get some sleep. Okay?"
"Alright Inuyasha I will." Kagome quietly slipped into her tent avoided stepping on Shippo who was already sleeping and managed to hobble into her sleeping bag. 'These past few weeks we've made about no progress on finding Naraku. What could Inuyasha be planning tomorrow? Oh, well I'll find out in the morning I guess.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome groggily walked out of her tent. It was early morning and Sango was sitting down eating breakfast. "Mmmm." Kagome's stomach let out a large growl. "That smells really good Sango. May I have some?"
*Blink blink.* "Oh, Kagome I didn't realize you were up. Sure you can have some." Sango handed Kagome a steaming hot cup of Ramen Beef Flavored Noodles.
"Ah Ramen, perfect for any meal. Have you seen Inuyasha? I can't find him."
Sango dropped her cup of Ramen as soon as she heard Kagome say Inuyasha. "Kagome, there's something you should know."
********************Flashback ~This morning*******************
"Sango, you should eat up. We have a long day ahead of us."
"Sure Inuyasha, but I don't understand what you're planning on doing today."
"It's Naraku, I can sense him. He's very close now; The final battle is approaching."
"You're not thinking of fighting alone are you?"
Inuyasha didn't say anything. He showed a small frown. That's exactly what he was planning to do.
"Are you!?"
"Sango, listen to me for a moment."
"No, you listen! Just because you feel guilty about Miroku doesn't mean you have to go and play hero now. What's happened has happened you can't change that by doing something stupid like this."
"Shut up! I don't have to listen to you! I'm going and that's that." With that Inuyasha sprinted away and kept sprinting till he was more than out of sight.
"Inuyasha, get back here! Inuyasha! Damn, he's gone. What in the hell am I going to tell Kagome?"
***********************Present time************************
"And that's pretty much what happened Kagome."
"I see, so Inuyasha ran away. We have to go look for him! He's obviously not right in the head and he may do something stupid enough to get him hurt."
"I agree, finding him would be the best move we could make right now. Grab Shippo and get ready to go."
"Aye, Sango-chan."
In the meantime Inuyasha sat quickly looking out from a large tree. He was unsuccessful so far in locating Naraku. He took a small brake to calm his nerves. 'I'll find that bastard Naraku.I have to find him. I have to make him pay for all the problems he's caused. It's his fault Miroku is dead. If he didn't give Miroku that Kazaana he would have never tried to leave, and I wouldn't have had to fight him.' "Damn you Naraku! Where the hell are you!?"
"Hello, Inuyasha. Has it been so long that you're just dying to see me again?" An evil smile appeared on a dark figure's face.
"Naraku."
"Come on Kagome! Get moving we have to go!"
"Ya, I know, I know.Come on Shippo if we don't get going Sango will leave without us."
Shippo hopped on Kagome's shoulder and the three of them immediately ran off. Leaving their campsite behind the three of them went off in the direction Inuyasha had headed.
'Please be ok Inuyasha. Me Sango and Shippo are all coming for you. Just hold on and don't do anything stupid.'
"Naraku, you bastard. I'm surprised you showed up at all. I figured you'd be too scared to face me."
Naraku let out a pleased laugh. "I know how much you want to die so, I decided I'd grant you your wish and kill you here and now. Since you're without any of your friends it shouldn't be too hard. How does that sound?"
"You cocky asshole!" Inuyasha jumped down from his tree his Tetsusaiga unsheathed and ready to fight. "I'll kill you!" Inuyasha took the first swing barely missing its mark.
"Tsk tsk Inuyasha. I would have thought you learned your lesson by now." Naraku countered the swing of Tetsusagia with a hard blow to Inuyasha's stomach.
"Gah." Inuyasha coughed up a small amount of blood and immediately recovered from the blow. Liking the blood off his lips he showed a small grin. "That all you got?"
"Why you!" Naraku ran up alongside the hanyou his sword also now drawn. "You'll pay for that insult!" He got up close to Inuyasha and prepared to swing.
"Heh, funny thing about when you try to hit people with your sword you always leave yourself open to attacks." Inuyasha struck Naraku in the stomach with the full force of Tetsusaiga sending Naraku reeling backwards and hitting the ground hard.
"Get up you bastard! I know that didn't hurt you as much as you want me to believe."
Naraku didn't make a move he just laid there as though he were stunned and hurt badly.
"Fine have it your way! Kaze no Kizu!"
"Heh, pathetic." Naraku easily dodged the attack and reappeared right in front of Inuyasha. "Take this half breed!" Naraku jabbed his sword into the flesh of Inuyasha's right arm stuck it there for a moment than painfully jerked it out.
Inuyasha was so stunned he didn't even realize Naraku had jabbed at first. The pain was a complete shock to him. He shook his head and grabbed his right arm and squeezed it tight. Blood began seeping out from under the hanyou's hand. Inuyasha was soaked in his own blood.
"Did that hurt Inuyasha? You know, If I had really wanted I could have killed you right then, but I wanted to kill you slowly so you could suffer."
"You're so damn cocky. You got a good shot at me nothing more. For that I'll make you pay though. Blades of Blood!"
"Baka!" Naraku easily dodged the attack and landed a blow right to Inuyasha's head knocking him unconscious. "Pity, I thought you would last longer than this."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome saw the battle transpiring between Naraku and Inuyasha. She sprinted toward the fallen hanyou and ran to his side. "Inuyasha are you ok? Speak to me Inuyasha!" She shook him rapidly trying to get him to wake up.
Inuyasha's eyes opened he had a dazed look on his face. "Kagome? What are you doing here?"
"It's going to be alright Inuyasha just hang on."
Inuyasha immediately got up when she had said that. "I'm not a weakling I can fight him on my own. You Sango and Shippo should just leave Naraku to me. Got it!?"
"But.Inuyasha."
"Shut up and do what I say!"
"Now, now Inuyasha that's not a nice way to treat these young ladies who came to help you. You need to learn some manners!" Naraku picked up Kagome and threw her to the side. Naraku then struck Inuyasha in the stomach with the bottom end of his sword then struck him in the face with the sheath.
Blood oozed from Inuyasha's face he couldn't see anything and his stomach hurt like hell. He coughed up a fair amount of blood and fell to his knees. He shook wildly and made no attempt to move.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome ran to his side trying to help him get back on his feet.
"Kagome! Watch out! Naraku is coming, move away from Inuyasha right now!" Sango prepared to throw out her boomerang waiting anxiously for Kagome to move.
"No!" Kagome held on to Inuyasha tight. "I'll die here with him if I have to. I won't leave him!"
"Now now, a young girl like you shouldn't be so hasty to die." Naraku picked up Kagome and threw her out of the way and picked up Inuyasha. "You're a pathetic creature you don't deserve the right to be killed by me." Naraku threw Inuyasha to the ground and grabbed his sword. "I'll make this quick and painless, I promise!"

Inu-Shounen- Thanks for another review! I will be adding more I promise. And no Sango didn't kill Inuyasha. I wouldn't let her have the pleasure of doing that ^_~
Sango-chan- Thanks for the nice review. I'm glad you like the story so far. Yes, it will get better.or so I think. Anyway glad you liked it!
The Unnamed Demon- Sorry I didn't get you to thank you in the second chapter. You reviewed the first just before I put up the second. Oh, well I'm glad you liked the first chapter I hope you enjoy the second and third now.
Zephor- I was very pleased to get a review from you! I've been reading your fan fic Love Sonnet, it's great. I'm happy you decided to check out my Sango and Miroku fic. Probably a little weird I know ^^ Any way thanks for the nice review!
I will try to keep updating regularly I'm really exited about finishing this fic so some chapters may come out very quickly. Keep checking up on them! Thanks to all my reviewers! Next chapter we find out what will happen to the gang after their fight with Naraku, and there will be a big surprise at the end. I promise you'll be quite surprised ^_~ Or at least think you will.Till then.
