Always stay right by my side"

Irony – Chapter 11…
…The Final Blow…
~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku was frozen, he couldn't move. With all his heart, he wanted to hug and comfort the distraught taijiya, but his instincts advised against it.
He watched her for a moment longer, clutching her stomach in agony, her teeth clenched in pain. She let out a pained moan before crumbling to the ground, her katana lying beside her, Hiraikotsu on her back. He glanced at her face…
Oh god, not the tears…
He sighed, screw his instincts.
Carefully, he walked a few steps towards her.
"Sango?" he whispered. At the sound of his voice, her eyes snapped open.
He knelt by her, opening his arms to hug her, surprised when she shoved him away fiercely.
"Don't…" she rasped out, shutting her eyes tightly once again.
The houshi noted the intense dark energy emitting from the Shikon no Kakera in her stomach. Sure, he wasn't Kagome, but this was hard to miss…
"Please leave, I don't want to hurt you…"
"I can't just abandon y--"
"Go!" she cut him off, gripping the strap from Hiraikotsu on her back. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading silently. For a few moments, they didn't move, staring at each other.
Finally, she hung her head; her bangs covered her eyes as she balled her hands into fists.
Kill him…
The voice in her head repeated. Her mind screamed but she couldn't move. She had lost her control again…
Kill him…
He brought his hands up to her shoulders, gripping them tightly to get her attention. It worked. She looked up to face him, their eyes met.
She looked different somehow…
This wasn't Sango anymore. Her dull expression scared him, her eyes looks dead and blank.
"S…Sango?" he questioned, almost fearfully.
No reply.
Instead, she threw herself forward, grasping her massive boomerang in her hands. Miroku cursed mentally, jumping out of the way as she brought the Hiraikotsu down where he had just stood, leaving a small crater in the earth. He came to a stop, trying to catch his breath as she readjusted her position; hurling her weapon at him again. He barely dodged that time, rolling out of the way. Sango quickly retrieved the boomerang, swinging it at the houshi blindly as he brought his shakujou up to block the strikes.
"Sang--" he was cut off as the massive weapon hit him directly in the chest full force, knocking the wind out of him. Quickly, she knocked his shakujou out of his hands as he fell backwards. Giving him no chance to get to his feet, the taijiya kicked him swiftly in the stomach. Miroku groaned, coughing up a few drops of blood as Sango picked up her katana.
Houshi-sama, move! Do something, anything! Her mind screamed silently.
Preparing to give the final blow, she raised her katana over her head. Miroku looked up, watching sadly as she thrust the sharp metal edge straight at him.
Oh god…
Closing his eyes, he waiting for the blow to fall. Finally admitting it to himself, he knew this would happen all along. After all, he could never hurt her.
The beautiful taijiya he had fought along side with on their journey…
The woman he had planned to marry and raise a family with after the Kazzaana was gone…
Sango was… his special girl…
He never thought it would end like this…
~*~*~*~*~*~
Naraku smirked. His plan had played out perfectly…
"Kagura" his voice was low and cool. She looked up, annoyed as usual.
"What is it?" she questioned, a query eyebrow raised.
"We're leaving now. There is no point in fighting pointless battles. The hanyou and miko will be here soon"
She nodded, bringing her hand up, pulling a small white feather from her hair.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Dammit, he's gone!" Inuyasha shouted, obviously pissed off.
"Who?" Kagome questioned, giving the hanyou a confused look.
"Naraku, who else?! His scent has disappeared!"
Kagome sighed, "Now that you mention it, I don't sense any more Shikon no Kakera…"
Inuyasha growled as he stopped running, turning the other way.
"Well, we should head back. Miroku-sama probably needs our help dealing with Sango-cha--"
"Blood" Inuyasha whispered, cutting the miko off. His ears perking up as he sniffed the air thoroughly.
"Huh?"
"Fuck, I smell a lot of blood!" the hanyou growled as he took off running again.
Dammit…
