Author's note~ I've been getting a lot of reviews for this story so far. I'm really exited that a lot of people seem to be enjoying it.

I'm planning on having about 10 chapters. Well Enjoy! ^_^
Chapter 7
*Miroku's eyes shot wide open as he watched Sango jab a knife through her heart just like before in his dream. She kept doing it over and over again each time saying the same thing to Miroku. "I love you, so why did you leave." Every time Miroku watched her do this he let out a scream of pain. 'Damnit! What the hell is going on here!? What kind of nightmare is this?' Miroku watched in horror as Sango got up from the floor after stabbing herself and walked over to Miroku. She put her hands on his face and rubbed them gently.
"It's alright now, don't be afraid I'm right here with you. I won't leave you, ever. Will you leave me?" She smiled and let her hands drop from his face.
"Sango."
She got up and seemed to fade away into nothingness. Her sweet voice stuck in the air. "Good bye Miroku. I love you. Don't forget your dream. Never forget."
"What does that mean!? I don't understand! Tell me! What am I suppose to do!?"
"The answer is always within yourself."
"What do you mean!?" That makes no sense!"
"You're the only one who can figure it out. It was your dream. Don't forget it Miroku. There's something important you should remember."
Miroku bit down on his lip hard. "You don't mean when you killed yourself.Do you? What in the hell can that tell me!? How will any of it help me!? Tell me!"
"Only you can decide what the answer is. I can't help you. Remember your dream and never forget there is someone who loves you."
"Sango wait!"
"Now, it's time to open those big brown eyes of yours. Don't worry, everything will soon become clear. Just don't forget."
"My dream."*
Miroku's eyes shot upon. His breathing was heavy and he was sweating terribly. "What a nightmare. It made absolutely no sense. What should I do now?" Miroku looked over at Sango who was sleeping soundly beside him. "I hope that you never have such nightmares." He gently kissed her on the cheek and went back to sleep.
*Sango looked around she was in a dark room and nobody was there with here. She was all alone. "Miroku-sama! Kagome! Inuyasha! Shippo! Anybody there?" 'What's going on here? Where is everyone?'
"Sango?"
"Miroku-sama!" Sango's face lit up when she saw Miroku's figure come into focus in the dark room."
"Sango, there's something you need to know."
"What is it?"
"I'm leaving. I have to go I'll be putting your life in jeopardy if I stay here with you." "No! You can't go! I love you! I don't want you to leave! I rather die by your hand than having to suffer without you. Please don't go!"
"Is that fair to the others? If I don't go it won't be just you I put in danger. It'll be everyone. That's why I have to go. For everyone's sake."
"What about yours and my happiness? What about that? Doesn't it matter to you if you break my heart? Do you want me to suffer?"
"If I had wanted to suffer I would have never told you that I loved you. I know I won't be happy if I go and I know you won't be happy. What other choice do I have though?
"I don't know. Please Miroku don't go!"
"I have to. This way I know you'll be safe. It's the only way."
"No! I don't want you to go!"
"Sorry, I have to. Good bye Sango." Miroku faded away back into the darkness leaving Sango alone once again."
"Damnit houshi-sama! Why did you have to go!?" Sango began to cry a river of tears. "Why do I have to be alone? I don't want to be alone anymore! I love you Miroku-sama! Come back!"
"Sango, don't cry I'm still with you right now. Tell me before it's too late."
"Tell you what!? I don't understand!"
"You will, so please just wake up from this nightmare."*
Sango's eyes flashed open. She looked around the room in confusion. "Where am I?" She noticed Miroku sleeping next to her and her memory seemed to bounce back to her. 'That's right, I was sleeping in here with Miroku. I must have been having a nightmare.' She looked over at Miroku with concern. 'What choice will you make?' Sango hung her head low to the floor. A small tear could be seen escaping her eye. "Please don't go, don't leave me."
Miroku looked up at Sango and sat up for a moment. "Sango?"
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare. You said were going to leave me because it was too dangerous for you stay."
"I see, well I can't promise that may not happen but I'm here right now and I'm not going any where." Miroku gave Sango a small hug and lay back down. "You should get some rest Sango you look awfully tired."
"I will." Sango lay back down and looked over at Miroku who was way at the edge of the futon. She smiled at him with curiosity in her eyes. "You know, you can move a bit closer if you'd like."
"Oh, well I guess so if you don't mind." Miroku blushed slightly and moved closer to Sango. He was close enough to touch her now. He resisted the temptation of groping her and gently closed his sleepy eyes. "I love you."
She smiled at him and closed her eyes as well. She seemed at peace with herself. The two of them slept silently together for the rest of the night.
"Good morning!" Kagome walked into the hut expecting to greet her friends good morning. She instead got a small surprise. 'What are the two of them doing in bed together!? I didn't think Sango had it in her. Wow, something must have happened last night. So, that's why Sango didn't come back to the inn last night.' An evil smile appeared on Kagome's face. "I better not wake them up they look so peaceful together. I'll let them wake up on their own."
Kagome left the two of them to their dreams and quietly slipped out the door. Where Inuyasha and Shippo were waiting patiently.
"Hey, Kagome where's Miroku and Sango?" Shippo looked at her curiously. I was looking forward to seeing Miroku now that he's awake.
"They're in bed sleeping together. I thought I should let them sleep for a while longer. They looked so peaceful together and they really could use the rest."
"What!" Inuyasha's face was totally stunned. "You have got to be kidding me! I don't believe it! Miroku finally got some guts.Geez! Well, I suppose we could let them sleep a little longer." An evil smile came over Inuyasha's face. "I would hate to disturb their peaceful sleep."
Miroku walked out of the hut and looked over strangely at Inuyasha. "Disturb who's sleep?"
"Meh? Miroku I didn't realize you were up."
"I wasn't, that is until I heard a strange noise out here."
"Oh, sorry that was me. You ready to go yet?"
"Just about, I'm waiting for Sango to get ready."
"Oh ok that's fine. So Miroku, you have fun last night buddy?"
"Shut up Inuyasha! Nothing happened!"
"Sure it didn't." Inuyasha motioned for a long eye roll.
Miroku clenched a tight fist. He was furious and was about to beat Inuyasha to a pulp when Sango walked outside. They all seemed to stare at her with odd expressions on their faces.
"What! Is there something wrong?"
Miroku shook his head. "Nope not a thing. You ready?"
Sango bit down on her lip. "Not quite yet.Can I talk with you for a moment?" She stared over at the others. "Alone."
"Sure Sango, lets go back inside the hut and you can discuss what you want with me." The two of them walked back into the hut leaving the rest of the group to wonder what was going on.
Miroku sat down and Sango sat beside him. "What up Sango? What's troubling you?"
"It's you houshi-sama."
"Me?"
"Yes. I'm worried about you. I had this nightmare that you were going to leave because you thought it was the best thing to do for everyone."
"Sango, I don't know if it's the right thing to do. I had a nightmare last night as well. You kept stabbing yourself over and over again saying that you loved me and you kept asking why I left. You told me to remember my dream and to never forget."
"Never forget what?"
"I don't really know. I wish I did though. I'm really lost at the moment. What should I do? What's the right choice?"
Sango moved closer to him and placed her hand on Miroku's heart and looked up at him. "What does you heart tell you?"
"Sango. I want to stay with you. I don't want to leave you."
"Then don't."
"If I don't go I'll put your life and the lives of the others in danger."
"Yes, but didn't we already now that? When I decided to travel with you guys I knew the risks of doing so. I knew that one day you might suck me into your wind-tunnel. The others took the same risk when they decided to let you travel with them. You're wanted here, so please don't leave. We all need you. Remember you dream? You said that everyone suffered because you were being selfish and decided to leave. Do you want that nightmare to be a reality?"
"No, I would never want something that bad to happen to you or the others."
"Then, please just stay. Stay with us! I don't want to be alone again." Sango burst into tears. "Please stay!"
"Sango, please don't cry. I'm not worth the tears you shed. I'll stay with you. You're right. You guys need me and I need you. I want to be with you with all of you."
"Miroku-sama. I'm so happy you decided to stay. Thank you! Thank you so very much."
"It's not a problem." Miroku leaned over and held Sango tight in his arms. "I won't ever leave your side."
Sango felt safe and secure in Miroku's strong arms. "Thank you." She managed to choke out the words before crying again.
Miroku held her even tighter. "Everything is going to be okay now." He reluctantly broke the hug and got up. "We should get going now. The others will begin to wonder what's going on in here." He offered his hand to help her up.
She smiled and gladly took it. The two of them walked out of the hut hand and hand. They both had wide grins on their faces.
Inuyasha noticed them locking hands with each other and an evil smile came over his face. "So Miroku, what were you doing in there?"
"Just as we said we were doing discussing something."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Alright buddy whatever you say."
"Sit boy! You shouldn't be so mean Inuyasha. They weren't doing anything."
"Keh! That doesn't give you any reason to do that to me!"
The whole group smiled and Inuyasha and laughed hysterically. They all just kept walking and left Inuyasha lying on the ground like an idiot.
"Wait a minute! Don't go any farther!"
Kagome turned her head in dismay and gave Inuyasha a pissed off look. "What now!?"
"I smell youkai."
