Don't Abandon Me

Chapter 7 - White Christmas Eve, then a Black Christmas

December 24, Christmas Eve morning.

Kagome and Sango has woken up and went downstairs to wait by the fireplace and the Christmas tree, for all the others to wake up.

"Sango.please understand that I'm doing this for own good. Ok?"

Sango nodded.

"I'm right behind you Kagome. Always." Kagome smiled. But really, she was frowning behind the mask.

Then they heard all the other kids screaming excitedly, stampeding downstairs.

"Good morning Kagome! Good morning Sango!" They all said.

"Good morning" they said.

"Wow!! Look at all these presents!!!!" one of them said.

"Ah ah! Wait until the nurses come down." Sango said, stopping them from about to open it.

The nurses finally came down and smiled to see the kids so excited.

"Can we open them now?" they asked.

"Go ahead." Sango said. They all cheered, handing eachother the gifts that had their names on it. They ripped the wrapping paper like Taz Mania.

Kagome and Sango smiled. A little girl handed Kagome and Sango gifts that had their names on it.

"Thank you Miyu" they said.

Aika was tape recording the whole scene while Kon took pictures, and Lucita and May would help the kids with their presents. Aika roamed the tape recorder and caught Kagome's frown. Aika stared at her with sorrow, understanding exactly how she would feel.

After they all opened presents, they cleaned up the wrapping papers and then had a big Christmas eve breakfast.

"Who wants to bake cookies for Santa after breakfast? We'll have to make lots and lots of batches." Kon said to the kids.

"I DO!!!" they all sang.

"Too bad that winter break ends on January 2nd." One kid said.

*~*~*~*~*~*

-9:00 pm- "Wow, today was such a big day." Sango said.

"Yep it was." Kagome agreed, staring at the ceiling from where she was laying on the bed.

Sango was at the dresser brushing her hair.

"So are you completely over Inuyasha or something?" Sango asked.

Kagome looked the other way, out into the window.

".....No." she said softly.

Sango turned around quickly.

"You dumbass! You're even sacrificing Inuyasha?!!!!" Sango yelled.

Kagome didn't say anything. Sango was pretty ticked off at how foolish Kagome was being. Kagome jolted up from the seat and flipped the lights off and jumped into her own bed. Kagome still stared out the window, the moon was shining in her eyes. She sighed heavily.

'I know Inuyasha.I know I wasn't your sex toy.but this is still something I gotta do.I'll be gone soon, and I can't hurt you even more. When that girl.Kikyo came in, it was kind of good luck for me, because I could've just used that to break us off. I'm sorry. I love you Inuyasha.Now, and forever.' She thought while staring at the moon. Then she drifted into sleep.

*~*Inuyasha*~*

Inuyasha was in his room, trying to call Kagome's cell phone. It rang and rang, but the only thing that responded was her voicemail.

*Sigh*

"Kagome."

He then only imagined how painful her life was, along with Sango and the other orphans. And now 16 years later their dad want to adopt them again, and Kagome saw Kikyo come here, kissing him.He shut his eyes tightly, turning his hands into ball of fists of anger. Angry because he has a love that has a big hole in her heart.

"Don't worry Kagome. I'll fill up that hole in your heart. I will. Only me."

*~*Christmas Day*~*

-10:00 am- "Merry Christmas Kagome!" Sango greeted.

"Merry Christmas Sango." Kagome replied. They got dressed and Sango was getting ready to go to Miroku's.

"Actually Sango, didn't they say that Miroku's parents would be home the night of Christmas Eve?"

"Oh yeah."

"So just call him and ask him and Inuyasha to meet you somewhere." Kagome suggested.

"Good idea."

Sango picked up the phone and dialed Miroku's number.

*RING RING RING*

"Hello?" Miroku answered.

"Hey Miroku..it's Sango."

"SANGO!!!" he exclaimed.

"Sorry about yesterday. Can we meet today?"

"Yeah of course. My parents are about to go out again for business after Christmas Breakfast." "Ok then can I come over around 12?"

"Yeah perfect."

"And please make sure that Inuyasha doesn't go anywhere ok?"

"Ok. See ya."

"Bye bye."

They hung up and Sango wanted to cry again. For this was the last time that she was able to see Miroku ever again.

*~*12:00*~*

Sango arrived at Miroku's house and rang the doorbell.

Miroku opened the door and smiled.

"Merry Christmas." He greeted.

"Merry Christmas." she said in a low tone. He pulled her into a hug. Her eyes got watery again and hugged him back tight.

They entered and Inuyasha was sitting on the couch.

"Have a seat." Miroku said.

"Hey Inuyasha, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas Sango."

"Did Kagome not come with you?" he asked.

She shook her head, making him frown.

Miroku took a seat and Sango took another to face both of them. She took out two boxes from her purse.

"Here you go Miroku. Your Christmas present."

"Thanks. Here's yours." He said, handing her a small box.

"Thanks." Sango said.

Sango then handed Inuyasha the box from Kagome.

"That's from Kagome."

Inuyasha received it and opened it, revealing that it was a beautiful metal watch with a red clock that changed to dark and light red in the lights.

"Why didn't she come here herself?" he asked.

Sango didn't answer.

Miroku opened his from Sango and it also was a watch, but it was blue. Exactly like Inuyasha's.

"Thanks baby." Miroku said, kissing her forehead.

"You're welcome."

"Open yours now."

Sango opened it and it revealed a ring box. Her eyes widened. She opened the box, and revealed the beautiful silver-band ring with a crystal imbedded into it.

Sango was in complete awe.

"Oh my god Miroku.it's beautiful. Thank you so much."

"Inuyasha, could you excuse us for a bit?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha got up. He gave Sango a box that he was giving Kagome and went upstairs. Sango put it in her purse and then put the purse over her shoulder.

Miroku took the ring out of its box and stood up with Sango. He took her left hand and put it through her fore-finger. Sango's eyes sparkled from the tears that were welling up.

"Miroku."

"It's a promise ring. Wear it until you finished high school, and then we'll marry."

"Miroku.Kagome and I got adopted by our real father."

"I know. But you aren't going anywhere. I won't let you!" he rose his voice a bit, and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Sango closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheek. She hugged him back tightly, then loosened and pulled back from him. She looked into his eyes the last time and kissed him passionately.

"Good bye Miroku." She said after she parted from the kiss. She then ran out the door.

Miroku had his eyes widened, not believing those 3 words she just said to him.

Sango quickly got into her car and drove off. Miroku was still standing there in silence. But then he dropped to his knees and started to sob. Inuyasha then came down.

"Get up Miroku. It's time for us to go to the orphanage." Inuyasha said.

*~*Orphanage*~*

Sango slowly entered, wiping away the tears. When she looked up, Kagome and the nurses sitting on the couch.

She looked down by the door and saw two large suitcases that was theres.

"What's up?" Sango asked a bit confused.

"Your father is coming." Lucita said.

"Right now?"

They all nodded. Sango sat next to Kagome and just waited.

Finally, a knock was on the door. Aika went to go get it and the man came in. He was all in black with a black hat that casted a shower on his face. Kagome and Sango both gasped.

'It's him!' they both thought.

As he entered, he took off his coat and hat off.

"These are your daughters. Kagome and Sango.Mr. Higurashi."

"Kagome.Sango." he said softly with a sad face.

The girls were silent.

"Please have a seat." Kon said to Hinusaki Higurashi.

He sat in the chair that was facing Kagome and Sango.

"You two have grown into lovely young ladies." He said.

"Thank you." They said, staring at him with cold eyes.

"You're quite welcome."

"Let me ask you one thing.." Kagome said.

"Yes?"

"What's the reason you're wanting to take us back?"

"Well since your mother died I had no child support and I couldn't afford it, so I put you two here for the time being and I promised myself that I will come back for you two later on. So here I am."

"I see.so you got rid of us because you were poor?!!" she rose her voice.

"I know I was wrong and I am sorry."

"That's not the real reason you want us back." Kagome said.

He looked at her with wide eyes.

'How does that brat know that?' he thought to himself.

"What's the real reason?!"

"There is no reason. I only need you for my business. You see.my business is falling apart right now.and if I can have you two work for me I can be able to work again. That's the only reason why. It's not like I'm actually 'taking you back' I just need you two." He said with a sly smile.

Kagome was raged, her hole in her heart has gotten bigger.

Sango started crying.

"How could you?!! You're their father!" Kon yelled.

"No, I used to be woman. They don't have a family. Their mother died, and so did their father. I am not their father anymore. I just need them to make money!!"

"Get out. You cannot even think about taking them back!! Get out!!" May yelled.

"No way. I need them!! You bring me the paper so that I can sign it and let us be going you witch!" he yelled.

Kagome and Sango just sat there, not knowing what to do or say. Their eyes were very wide and tears were welled up in them but didn't roll down their cheeks.

"Kagome!!"

"Sango!!"

Inuyasha and Miroku stormed in.

"Miroku!" Sango cried. She and Kagome both shot up from the couch. Sango started to lunge for him, but Hinusaki grabbed her by the wrist.

"Let me go!" she yelled.

"Now is that a way to talk to your owner like that!!" he shouted, then slapped her and she dropped to the floor.

"You fuckin' bastard!!!" Miroku yelled. He then punched Hinusaki making him fall to the floor with a bloody nose. Sango got up and ran into Miroku's arms crying. Miroku looked over to the suitcases and assumed that it was hers and Kagome's so he grabbed the one that had Sango's name on it and ran out to his car.

Kagome's eyes were spaced out. She was spacing out, staring towards the direction of where Hinusaki was laying.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted. She slowly turned her head to look at Inuyasha. All the tears that welled in her eyes, were now flowing out freely.

"Kagome!!"

She looked back to her nurses.

They all nodded to her telling her to go. Kagome turned her head quickly back to Inuyasha. She started off slowly walking towards him, but then picked up the pace and finally ran into his arms.

"INUYASHA!!!!" She screamed. He embraced her tightly. All the tears she's been holding back, were flowing freely out of her eyes, not able to stop it.

"Hey you bitch!! I own you!! Get back here!!" Hinusaki yelled.

They ignored him. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's suitcase and ran out to Kagome's Volkswagen. Miroku and Inuyasha both drove off.for good.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha looked over to Kagome. She was looking out her window. He held her hand and grasped it, making her turn her head and smile. They laced their fingers together. she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha. I was selfish and foolish. I just didn't want Sango or myself to get hurt anymore. I thought being adopted by Hinusaki would be a good idea, but turns out that he only wanted us for his business."

Inuyasha didn't say anything, but tighten his grasp on her hand. He understood her fully.

"I love you Kagome."

"I love you Inuyasha."

*~*Miroku and Sango*~*

"You think Kagome came to her senses and make up with Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah. I know she did. I'm glad she did." She said, smiling at him. She went up and kissed his cheek.

"I love you Miroku."

"I love you Sango."

*~*Arrive at Miroku's*~*

They parked and took the suitcases into the house and went upstairs into their bedrooms.

"You guys will need your own bedroom. This is a 4-bedroom house so we have an extra. Follow me." Miroku said. He lead them into a big yellow bedroom.

"Here you are. You guys settle in and meet us downstairs."

"Thank you Miroku!" Sango said, kissing him.

"No prob. We just gotta find a way to talk to my parents about this."

"Yeah." Kagome agreed.
