Tears of Blood Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any other characters but I do own this fan fiction /\_/\

Sango and Miroku had been watching the sunset. Shippo was playing with some children. The two adults laughed as Shippo transformed into a pink monster and pretended to destroy the city of wildflowers and eat a butterfly. He, of coarse, spit it out him and the children were laughing. It was a very happy scene indeed. As the sun reflected off of the monk's eyes he turned to the demon slayer.

"Sango what do you plan to do after the jewel is completed."

Sango was taken aback at the sudden change of subject. "Oh well I guess I am going to hold a memorial service for all the death and help, what I expect, to be the many wounded"

"No I mean with your personal life." He seemed a bit anxious to know

Sango was afraid he was being his hentai self again. "What do you mean hoshi-sama" Sango's face became the color of the red setting sun.

"What I am trying to say is that-"he became a bit nervous "you see" ' how can I say this' he reached for her hand

"Sango we have...we have been though a lot together." He looked at her seriously and took what seemed to be his last breath "Sango I-I have grown accustomed to your presence. When you leave I yearn to have you next to me."

Sango began to feel slightly uncomfortable. He was making such a confession. She didn't know how to react.

"Sango I have grown to love you. I love you as if the sun will never set. It has been like that since the day I had gotten to know you."

Sango was silent. Miroku knew the nagging question on her mind.

"I only groped the other women to throw off suspicion. So that you couldn't be hurt because of me. So that Naraku or anyone else could hurt you on account of my deep love for you." He released her hand and looked away from the beautiful woman. She didn't' answer. How could he have been so stupid? He just poured his heart out and...

"Hoshi sama...Miroku" Sango pulled him into an embrace. "I love you too. With all my heart."

Miroku was surprised. He expected rejection. That is all he had ever gotten. Sango couldn't help but giggle. She kissed him on the nose. Miroku broke out of his "trance". The hoshi brought the bishoujo (beautiful girl) closer and kissed her.

They hung onto each other as if it was the end of the world. It was a wonderful moment until something ran into them. One of the village children had accidentally tripped on a rock. Everyone was enjoying himself or herself.

~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~

As the three of them began walking home the sky began to darken.

"What is going on."? Sango whispered

"There is and evil presence here." Replied Miroku.

A very large wolf demon came out of the surrounding area and attacked Miroku. Luckily the monk was ready for him. He deflected the attack with his staff. The demon flew back and not being quick in the head (and realizing he was harmless) began chasing Shippo.

"I'm still a kid." Shippo screamed.

"Hiritko." (Sp error) Sango released her weapon. It landed on its back. The demon exterminator had lived up to her name.

On it's last breaths the demon's eyes rolled into its head and took on a familiar voice.

"In one month the final battle will commence. It shall be held where the rock touchs the clouds. If you don't show up I shall personally kill you all." With that the demon disintegrated.

"Naraku?" they said in unison

~~~~~~~~~*********************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(

"Are you sure that is what he said." Kagome question. She and Sango had decided to go to the hot springs.

"Positive." Sango replied

Kagome slunk back into the water

"~Sigh~ great as if we don't have enough trouble. Now we need to train. Well at least I do." Kagome held her breath and let her body sink into the water and surfaced again. "Lets change the subject." Kagome said

"So what happened while we were gone? Anything new. What happened to Kikyo."?

"Um well you see...Kikyo... Kikyo tried to kill me." Kagome looked at the ground.

"Are you serious. That bitch is going to pay. When I find her I am going to..."

"Sango don't worry. I have never seen you like this. Inuyasha he...came to save me."

"..."

"I ran off because of the looks of the turn out I thought he was going to choose Kikyo anyway. Ugh you should have seen his face"

"What happened between you too."?

"Well I... said he should have let me die. And he yelled at me. Said that I should never think that."

Sango pulled her deer friend into a hug.

"O Kagome"

"Heh I did this same thing to Inuyasha I dong know what I was trying to accomplish. I-I guess that I wanted to change his decision." Sango let go of Kagome.
That explained why kagome was sleeping on Inuyasha. Kagome quickly diverted the subject once again

"So how was your stroll."? Sango just realized that she hadn't told kagome about her and Miroku.

"Well" she smiled. "Miroku said that he loved me." Kagome squealed

"And"

"And I said I loved him." She explained the moment and the kiss

Kagome was overjoyed. Or so it appeared. Deep down she was torn about Inuyasha. But she had to be strong and happy for her friends. After about a half an hour the girls headed back. Kagome looked back at Inuyasha and blushed. For a brief moment their eyes locked. His face began to match the miko in training. Apparently Miroku and Inuyasha had a slightly similar conversation minus a few girlish squeals and vows of killing a clay pot on legs. (At least that is what I see her as)

~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~

Before they had known it a month had passed. Kagome had told her family that her final battle was coming. It had unnerved her mother. Kagome said more I love you's and good by's than usual. She had seemed more upset than usual

' I wonder how this will all end.' Mrs. H thought.

As the days had come and gone so had the moons. Today was another moonless. Inuyasha sulked at the top of a hill.

"You know." He turned around at the sound of kagome's voice. "You shouldn't' wander too fare away from camp. I was worried you know." He handed him a sandwich and a soda "here you didn't eat any dinner."

"So the battle is tomorrow." Inuyasha said half-heartily. "Kagome I don't want you to come. I...I don't want you to get hurt. Or worse...plus you have family, friends, school..."

"No way there is no way in hell am going to leave you Inuyasha. I said I would be by your side and I meant it." Kagome realized her last sentence. Making her feel out of place.

Inuyasha pulled the girl into a tight embrace "thank you... for everything." He said Kagome was so taken a back. Inuyasha rarely showed so much affection to her.

"Don't mention it..." she smiled. "I did it because I care about you. Everything: cooking, cleaning, and bandaging wounds. Plus Inuyasha I want you to stay safe. I dont want to loose you. Not ever..." she cut herself off. In the near distance you could hear a slight hentai and crash. Kagome giggled. 'Thanks.' She thought

"So Inuyasha." She said as the looked to the stars. "Do you still want to become a full fledged youkai."? He looked at her and said nothing. "'Cause I was thinking." She went on, "do you really have to change. I like you as a hanyou." Inuyasha stared at the strange time traveling girl.

"Not that it makes a difference. I will like you any form your in human hanyou and youkai. But you don't have to change, do you?"

"Please kagome don't question me." Inuyasha said calmly. "I have made my decision." Kagome got up and smiled at him.

"Ok I was just wondering." She began to walk back to camp. Inuyasha followed her. He sped up and grabbed her hand. For some reason Inuyasha had a strong feeling to do this. It could be his last time.

"No don't think that," he thought to himself.

As they walked back to camp kagome asked if he would sleep next to her sleeping bag. Coy, he agreed. If you had been a person passing by you would have mistaken Inuyasha kagome and Shippo for a happy family.
