~*~My Heart Is Yours~*~
A/N: I know -_-, I left you all at a mean, MEAN cliffy, didn't I? I'm sorry about that.
Another thing is, all the spaces, I have no idea why it's like that. When I previewed the chapter, it didn't have those gaps!
Third thing is, I told you, this story is coming to a close. ;_;
Fourth thing, I don't specialize in drama, but what happened in the last chapter is important.
Well, I know you all wanna read what's next, so I'll stop talking!
A/N: Tabi, just to let you know, I'm thinking about your request. Maybe I'll grant it in "More Than What She Seems" or another story that's going to premiere soon this year. ^_^ I'll TRY my best to grant your request, but I can't promise you that it WILL be granted..(cause you know, I tend to forget things when I have a lot of things on my hands)
Chapter 43: Higurashi Shrine..A Place That Can Heal The Heart
Miroku didn't say a word as he kept staring down at his ex-girlfriend.
"Sango," he whispered. "Sango..you can't be dead."
"What could've made her die anyway?" Inu Yasha asked. He looked around at the surroundings and spotted the glass cup on the table. "Hmm.."
"Inu Yasha! Miroku!"
The two boys turned their heads and spotted Kagome in the distance. When she finally reached them, she gasped at the sight, "SANGO?!"
"She's-she's," Miroku looked away and didn't finish the sentence.
"We couldn't feel any pulse," Inu Yasha told her grimly. "We think she's-"
"She's not dead!" Kagome screamed. "You can't just jump to a conclusion like this!"
"But she's not breathing," Miroku pointed out with a trembling voice.
Kagome ignored them and took hold of one of Sango's hands.
"Do any of you know what happened?" she asked after awhile.
"No," both boys answered at the same time.
"But-" Inu Yasha glimpsed at the cup on the table again. "There IS that cup over there.."
His friends followed his gaze to table. The cup still had some liquid in it.
"Looks like water, but how could water kill you?" Kagome asked with confusion.
They all thought for a long, long moment and then all three of them said together, "Poison."
"The slut was working here with us," Kagome realized. "And I left for a little while, leaving those two alone.."
She looked at her two friends and continued, "That was probably when Kikyo did something to Sango. When the slut left, she was all..nice for no apparent reason."
"OH MY GOODNESS!" a voice shrieked at the entrance of the booth.
The three friends winced.
Mrs. Higurashi held a hand over her mouth, her eyes big as saucers.
"What happened to your friend, Kagome?" she asked.
"We think she died," Kagome answered softly. She shook her head. "No! She CAN'T be dead! I mean, Sango wouldn't die THAT easily! Isn't there any way to make her wake up or recover from the poison or something?"
Her mother stood with a thoughtful face, "Well, there IS that potion that was handed down from generation to generation in the Higurashi family."
All three teenagers looked at her with hope in their eyes.
"But I'll have to search for it in the storage room..among the other potions," Mrs. Higurashi 'pap'ed a fist onto a palm.
The three friends sweat-dropped.
*****
"This might take awhile to have an effect," Mrs. Higurashi said gently. "If it doesn't work..and if Sango never wakes up..you'll all have to accept the fact that she's really dead. She doesn't need to take the whole jar. A spoonful is good enough."
She, Kagome, Inu Yasha, and Miroku were all in Kagome's room, standing and looking down at Sango who was lying down on Kagome's bed. Mrs. Higurashi took a spoon and dug it into a jar. When she pulled it back out, it had a small glob of icky, black-colored substance (think of it as black-colored honey..).
Kagome stared at it and covered her nose, "That looks awful..smells awful too."
"Well, it WAS handed down from generation to generation!" her mother laughed.
"Are you sure you want to give Sango this stuff?" Kagome asked, taking a closer look at the potion.
"Of course I'm sure," Mrs. Higurashi smiled, carefully sticking the spoonful into Sango's mouth and leaving it there for a moment. She slowly pulled it out and looked at the spoon with satisfaction when she saw that none of the icky, black substance was left on it. "Now if you'll all excuse me, I have cooking to do. Take good care of Sango!"
She left out the door.
Miroku cleared his throat, "Um, Inu Yasha, Kagome..if it's not a problem, may I please have some time alone with Sango?"
His two friends looked at him with sympathy.
"Sure," Kagome replied.
"Just call us if you need anything," Inu Yasha added and left the room with his girlfriend.
Miroku gazed after them and watched as the door clicked shut. He pulled the chair from the desk up to the bed and sat down.
"Sango.." his vision began to blur. "I didn't get to tell you the truth. I really do love you."
A tear began to slip down his cheek and he wiped it away.
He continued, "I..I don't want to be alone. I don't want to lose you. You're the one I love the most."
Miroku took one of Sango's hands in his and squeezed it gently.
"You're not weak, Sango. Fight the poison," he whispered. "Fight for Inu Yasha and Kagome..fight for me."
*****
Two hours passed by quickly.
Miroku sat on the chair, asleep (in fact, everyone in the house was asleep ^_^ hehe.).
Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick
Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick
Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick..Tick
"Mi-Miroku.."
Miroku sleepily lifted his head and opened his eyes.
"Miroku.."
He sat there speechless, "Sango?"
She just repeated, "Miroku.."
Miroku slumped down in his seat.
'At least I know that she's still alive,' his eyes filled with tears of relief and happiness.
"Miroku..don't leave me. I love you. Why won't you meet my dad? Why?" Sango whispered in her sleep. Her mouth quivered and she let out a small sob. "I don't want it to be over. I don't want to be alone.."
Miroku felt a twinge of guilt when he heard all of what she just said.
"Please..don't leave me.." she mumbled. She stirred and her eyes slowly blinked open. "..Miroku."
"I'm right here," his voice answered.
Sango stiffened and turned her head to look at him.
A quiet moment passed between them.
"Sango.." Miroku finally said. "You're alive.."
"Of course I'm alive, you moron," she replied, muffled by the blanket. Sango turned her head and looked at the wall instead.
"Sango, I think it's time for me to tell you the real reason why I didn't want to meet your father," Miroku said quietly.
She didn't answer.
He took a deep breath and continued, "The real reason is because-"
"Because you hate me?" Sango interrupted. "Is that why?"
"No! Of course not!" he blinked. "The real reason is because..well, I'm scared your dad won't accept me as your boyfriend..and our relationship would have to end."
He looked down at his lap and continued, "I AM a coward, aren't I?"
"Miroku," Sango said hesitantly. "Just tell me the truth..do you really love me? That's all that really matters to me."
When he didn't answer, she turned her head to look at him again.
His lips met hers in a long, compassionate kiss.
'I guess that means yes,' Sango thought with a smile as she pulled him closer to her.
*****
"Looks like they're back together again," Kagome whispered happily. She continued to watch them through the small open crack of the door.
"Kagome," Inu Yasha rolled his eyes behind her. "We only came here to check up on them..not SPY on them."
"But spying is fun," she pouted.
"We have to let them have their privacy," he pointed out.
"Okay, okay," Kagome sighed and closed the door completely shut. "You win..this time."
A/N: There..happy? I didn't make Sango die! I wasn't even going to MAKE her die! She's one of my favorite characters too, you know! Hm, let's see..three more chapters left ;_;. Wah! I know, I know, short chappie..I'll try to make the next one longer. Well, please review! ^_~
