Okay, people. How are you doing?(strangled blinks) Yeah, pretty much...

Well, Let me explain a bit. let's start with Miroku's hand

Cause: Miroku's wind tunnel suddenly disipears.

Explanation: As a Mediae, Nikita has these extrodinary healing powers. As her final act, she decided to heal that grievious wound in Miroku's palm. However, like any great healing potion, it needed an extra ingredient: Love. Ergo, Sango presses her hand to his wound. Ergo, it is sealed.

Now on to Nikita

Cause: Nikita is dying/dead.

Explanation: Nikita is a Fukai Mediae(forrest? maybe maybe. yEs? maybe?) meaning that her life force is connected to the forrest. Because Inuyasha has made up his mind internally never to feed from a human again, the forrest is dead.(Inuyasha is also connected to the forrest) She loves Inuyasha like a son, and he confides in her. There was once a great many Mediae, but they were killed off, or just died. She is all that is left of her clan and of all the Mediae in the world. When a Mediae dies, their power in transfered into another Mediae or their child(the children do not have the powers until they recieve them.) If a Mediae dies in battle, their power is gone forever. One of the reasons why there are so few Mediae.

Sesshomaru wants to be part human

Explanation: DIDN"T I JUST EXPLAIN THIS??

Okay... Well then...

Do you guys know I've never written a story over 14 chapters? I'm not even close to finishing this one, and I'm already on chapter 12!

boo yah

Oh, yeah, Kaede took Kagome back to modern times because she couldn't keep her fever down without the miracle of tyenol.

okay, moving on....

Inuyasha tromped along the path that used to be so familar to him. Now, the vines had grown over the path and the trees created a partial canopy. IT wasn't like this before...

"NIKITA!!" little inuyasha called as he ran along the dirt path. She turned and smiled.

"She was always smiling... Then, when the Mediae went off to fight, she had to take care of everyone. One day, we were in the market place, and some boys ganged up on me... I didn't know what to do. Then Nikita came and through a vendor's rotten tomatoes at them.

She had a hell of an arm...

had

was

were

never

again

I hate death.

It's what took Kikyo's soul away. What made me hate her so. Death is what took Nikita away from me, what is going to take Kagome away...

Kagome

Kikyo

I used to think they were the same...

What I figured out was that they aren't the same.

I just react to them the same way. I'm the bond.

the joint between them.

I wonder if Niki meant to tell me in her dying thoughts.

If she meant to say the ingredients.

If she meant to say 'blood'

I wonder if she is still here, or has she gone already. IS she already dust?

How long have I been walking?

How did I break a toe nail?

Inuyasha was now farther away from his destination than he could possibly be. He had managed to get to the OPPOSITE SIDE OF JAPAN in the space of fifteen minutes.

"D'OH!" Inuyasha screamed and turned around quickly

And he just HAPPENED to bump into Kikyo. Who just HAPPENED to be standing right behind him, with an arrow aimed at his chest. Inuyasha just HAPPENED to be speared with that arrow and Kikyo just HAPPENED to be put to rest.

Finally.

~Present day~

Sango walked back to the well, her eyes slightly moist. Poor Kagome. Poor Shippo.

Poor world...

Sango had come to tell Kagome about Miroku's miraculous healing. But, a few moments before she was planning to leave, Kirara came back from looking for Inuyasha. Kirara's fur was sticky with blood and Sango thought she had been hurt. Until, Kirara bowed slightly, and a limp frame slipped off her/his back. This frame had silver hair and wore a red haori.

This frame was a half-demon, who was barely breathing.

Sango still remembered the way Miroku's face was as he picked up the body. How steely his eyes were, how set his mouth was. Sango could not move, she just stood there, staring as Miroku took Inuyasha into Kaede's hut. She had heard the murmuring of Miroku and Kaede, the soft thump as Inuyasha was laid on the cot. She saw Miroku come out of the hut, and she had felt herself run and catch him as he fell to the ground in anguish.

"Why does this happen? Why do my friends always get hurt? Sango, maybe I'm not supposed to be around others. what if you get hurt? I don't think..." Sango pressed a finger to his lips, and helped him to a tree. She knelt beside him and lay against his chest. Miroku placed his arm around her, but Sango felt him shaking.

"Sango, I know you're trying to comfort me into silence, but I'm serious. Why did this happen? Kaede said it looked like an arrow pierced him. An Arrow. Kikyo did this. Inuyasha is dying because of Kikyo. Kagome is dying because of (flips through the story)uh... apparently blood loss. No wonder everyon'es confused...) Sango, do I do something that makes my friends die?"

Sango sighed and sat up. She positioned herself so that she was staring straight into Miroku's eyes.

"Miroku, I honestly don't know. but who cares? You're alright, I'm alright. Kagome and Inuyasha willBE alright. Don't you understand? Nothing is written in stone. Just because they got hurt doesn't mean they're going to die." she paused, and looked down at the ground "Even if you have some odd attractance for danger, I... I won't leave you. I'll stand by you. As long as you need me, I'll be there."

"Sango..." he took her hand in his and she looked at him. Their eyes meant, and for a moment (I really thought that I shoudl be a soap opera writer, but how could I tell my family "hey, I'm a soap opera writer!" *gets garbage thrown at her* OKAY OKAY! I"LL GO BACK TO THE STORY) when their eyes meant, nothing was wrong.

Nothing was as it shouldn't be.

The kiss was amazing. Both intocicating and sublime.mmm. limes WOULD be good... It was Sango's first kiss, so there was nothing to compare it to, but to Miroku, it was by far the most amazing experience of his short life. They broke apart, reluctantly, and Sango breathed out heavily.

"I should go to Kagome. Tell her..."

"yes... you should go..." he wispered slowly and Sango's eyes closed slowly.

"I sho-" her words were cut off by Miroku pressing his lips to hers...

The sceen replayed when Sango returned to Kaede's hut.

~Present time~

Kagome pov-

I thought that when the person you loved got hurt, you could feel it. Because you were so connected, so close to gether that you could feel what the other was feeling.

I have felt nothing all day.

Shouldn't I have felt that arrow going through my sterum?

Shouldn't I have felt that?

Inuyasha, you CANNOT DIE.

If you die, I will never forgive you...
