are important to me
But instead it's my wish to see you
Even more than sadness what I am feeling is
That I'm glad to have been able to meet you…"

Irony – Chapter 8…
…The Attack - Kouhen (Part 2)…
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha rolled away from another downswing from Hiraikotsu, quickly getting to his feet.
Sango promptly turned to follow him, Hiraikotsu clashing with the now transformed Tetsusaiga as he brought it up to block another hit.
'What the hell?!' Inuyasha let out a growl, trying his best to maintain his balance as the force of the blow pushed him back.
'Is she getting this power from the shard?' he wondered as the taijiya flicked her wrist, her hidden blade popping out of her sleeve.
Inuyasha took a step forward, knocking the massive boomerang out of her hands. She swiftly slashed her blade at him.
"Sango, snap out of it!" he shouted, catching her wrist in midair.
The taijiya effortlessly jerked her hand away, slicing at him again as took a backwards leap.
'I can't keep dodging her attacks forever…' Inuyasha glanced at the unconscious miko, the two-tailed fire cat nuzzling at her to wake up.
The grass she was laying on was stained with her blood, pouring from her fresh wound.
He had to stop the bleeding fast or else…
The taijiya approached him again, now holding her retrieved Hiraikotsu.
Sango stopped, a familiar voice echoed in her head…
It was Naraku. He was calling her…
Retreat…
'What is she doing?' Inuyasha watched as the taijiya suddenly turned to an opposite direction, and took off running.
'Is she being called back?' he pondered, racing after her.
"Get back here!" he cried, increasing his speed after noting how unbelievably fast she was going.
She glanced back slightly, hurling one of her Doku-fun* at the hanyou trailing her.
"What the--" he quickly covered his sensitive nose with a clawed hand as the poison smoke filled the air.
The taijiya kept running, her faded silhouette slowly getting farther and farther away.
Inuyasha thoughts suddenly focused on the helpless miko on the ground, Kirara licking her cheek to urge her awake. Quickly, he came to his senses. He was at her side in an instant, picking her up, he raced towards the village, away from the poisonous air.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Miroku-sama! What are you thinking?! You shouldn't be moving around yet!" the distressed teenager cried, catching up to him.
"Let's go back into the cabin and--"
"No."
Miroku used his staff as a support, leaning on it to help him walk. With every step he took, a few more drips of blood dotted the ground behind him. He knew that the wound on his back had opened up again. He didn't care. He wanted to see Sango.
Koharu followed after him, obviously not knowing what to do or say.
Miroku kept walking, feeling as if he was about to pass out. With every step he took, his breathing became more and more ragged. Finally, it seemed as if his body had enough. His legs gave in as he fell forward onto his knees, blood dripping from his lower lip. The girl trailing him let out a horrified gasp, falling to her knees beside him.
"Miroku-sama, please! You can't keep going like this!" she pleaded, trying to pull him up to a standing position. She really didn't know what to do.
Miroku struggled to stand once more, willing his body to keep moving.
After a couple more minutes, the pair had finally reached the end of the village.
"What is this?" Koharu coughed, quickly covering her nose with both hands.
Miroku narrowed his eyes bringing his left hand up to cover his nose as well, while scanning the area. He saw Inuyasha racing up the hill, the seemingly unconscious miko in his arms, Kirara following the pair.
Then, the houshi looked past his two comapnions, squinting to see past the dense reddish air the poison smoke had caused. Finally, he found who he had been searching for….
Sango…
He could only watch as his special girl disappeared from view into the forest depths. He didn't understand; questions and worries running amuck through his head all at once.
What was going on?...
Where was she going?...
Why is she leaving?…
…But deep inside, he felt his heart clench in fear and realization. Had he …truly lost her?
Was she really… gone?
~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Of course even Inuyasha wouldn't be that stupid and idiotic to believe that Sango is working for Naraku And, Miroku is… right there ^^;; See? *points* Plus, Inuyasha wasn't really pissed at Sango, he was just pissed… in general ^-^;;; It's too early for the Miroku/Sango confrontation ^^;; that will come soon, in upcoming chapters ~.^ Plez R&R !!! Arigatou ^_^
Another thing, this fic isn't done yet ^^;; It's just about halfway done, maybe less. So basically, it isn't anywhere near being finished ^^;;;
***Doku-fun—Sango's poisonous gas/powder. She used it in episode 25, while she fought against Inuyasha. Interesting… ^^;;; LOL
Ja ne! ~Sango_to_Miroku~
