A/n: Second Inu fic! Right after the first, too. I wanted to write a romance fic about Miro and Sango, but I wanted angst. There's where the Kazaana comes in. FYI, the Kazaana is the air void in Miroku's hand. Enjoy!

This hand...This stupid fucking hand. This is what tore me away from all I knew and loved. My friends, my life... Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippou, Kirara ...and Sango. Sango is the one I shall miss most. Every time she slapped me, I liked it. It hurt, but I liked it. I loved her. I still do. Maybe we could've actually told each other if this damn Kazaana hadn't gotten in the way.

If I could just wake up from this unconsciousness, I could tell her. Tell her everything before I die. However, my body refuses to cooperate and lies here, still as a rock.

Wait, I can hear their voices. There's Shippou's voice asking if I'm alright. No, I'm not alright. Let's see. There's a black hole in my right hand that will kill me in a few moments, I can't tell the one I love my true feelings, and I can't wake up from unconsciousness. Oh, that's right. You can't hear me. My thoughts continue echoing in my head until I finally shut down and die.

Why am I still alive? I'm breathing and I can still hear the voices of my allies. Well, if I'm still here, I might as well try to live.

I flutter my eyes open and everyone gasps. Kagome cries that I'm alive and Sango hugs me. Inuyasha is-

Hang on. Sango hugged me? As in she-threw-her-arms-around-me-and-squeezed hugged me? Amazing. I try to speak, but only a choke comes out. Sango looks at me with pity filled eyes and nuzzles my cheek with her hand.

So, when I'm not dying she hates me, when I am, she loves me? This is the oddest relationship I have ever seen in my life. It's probably going to be the last as well.

Oh, she's crying. Don't cry, Sango, please. Not over me. I'm not worth crying over, Sango-chan!

"Don't cry, please..." I whisper outloud into her ear. She gasps and cries harder.

"But y-you're d-dying, Mir-oku! I c-can't help it!" she manages to say. I let her tears stain my robes. At least part of her will be with me when I'm gone...

"Mirok-ku... Please d-don't go... I need you!" ...She needs me? "I c-can't live w-without you!" She looks at me in the eye, begging. Begging for me to live. One of her tears drops into my eye. With my strength, I sit up and put an arm around her for support.

"Sango..." I breathe. "I will try to live. For you..." I cough up a bit of blood and she hugs me tight, yet gently.

"Miroku! Thank you, that's all I want. F-or you to live." Sango cries more, but a bit happier.

"I shall stay for you. I shall live and love for you. You are my hope, my reason..." That is all I can say before passing out. But I'm not dying this time. I will live, and Sango knows it. She doesn't worry this time. I won't either. As long as she's here, I'll live...
