*Mattou Yakusoku*

Fulfilled Promise

Chapter Three

"Who the hell is Kazuo and what are you bringing his mate for?" The man walked out of the hut and sat down under a tree.

"Inuyasha, Are you that blind? Kazuo is Miroku. Your a dumbass. Kazuo, holy man." Kouga rolled his eyes at Inuyasha's stupidity.

"Kouga? I heard you were looking for- INUYASHA!" Inuyasha turned his head to a familiar ex-friend.

"Nice to see you too, Miroku." He turned his head back to Kouga ready to ask him if he had a mate yet.

"What the hell are you here! Leave now or DIE!" Miroku put a hand a grayish hilt.

"Miroku, calm down. This fool says Kagome is alive and-" Miroku slashed a hand infront of Kouga's face.

"Silence, Kagome is gone. She is not returning." Miroku fell to his knees clutching his head. The pain was too much to bear. He looked, Kami knows he looked for over 5 months. Finding nothing. NOTHING! Not a damned thing. He lost a child because of his ignorance in finding her.

Inuyasha put a hand on Miroku's shoulder. "I know, I still feel the pain. I promise you though she is alive. Please, come to the castle with Kouga and Sango." Miroku brushed the hand of his shoulder has if it were dirt.

"Tell me Inuyasha, she was never dead was she?" Inuyasha shook his head no. "Then why? Why didn't you tell me? Where was she! You could have saved my child if you had only told me where she was! YOU BASTARD!" Miroku unsheathed his sword lunging for Inuyasha's neck. A hand flew up and diverted the sword. "Kouga, you trader!"

"Miroku, I TRIED! I told you to give up looking for her! I told you she was fine and that you didn't need to look. Miroku, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have only lost your child, you would have lost your mate." Sango was just walking up when she heard Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha.." She threw her arms around his neck crushing him in an embrace.

"Sango? Is it true? Did Inuyasha save you all those years ago?"

*flashback*

"AHHHH! Miroku! Inuyasha! Where are you guys!" Sango clutched her swollen stomach and laid down on the bed.

"Sango! Sango!" The door slammed open crashing through the wall behind it. "Sango? Are you ok?" Inuyasha wiped some sweat from her brow.

"Inuyasha it's time. Re-remember what Aiko said. Only the baby or I can live, not both. Inuyasha im not ready to die yet!" Sango clutched her stomach.

*End Flashback*

"Sango? I asked you a question." Miroku grabbed her shoulders in an attempt for an answer. "No lies, tell me the truth." Miroku let go and leaned against a tree, clearing his mind of everything, waiting for her reply.

"Yes, yes he did. Miroku im so sorry." She grasped his robes in her fists. "Miroku I wasn't ready to die yet! I'm sorry! I didn't want to leave you!" Her sobs were muffled in his robe.

"Shhhh. It's ok, i understand i just wish you would have told me." Miroku wiped a tear from her face. "Inuyasha. I thought you killed my child. All these years i hated you for something you didn't do. How could i have been so foolish! I shall repay you, i promise."

"I dont care, Just come to the castle with me, please. For Kagome." Miroku looked at him with worry in his eyes. He was foolish, foolish to believe Inuyasha would betray him. "Hai, you can bring your child."

"Inuyasha? How did you know we had another child?" A nervous chuckle came from Sango.

"Me, all those times i left with Lyllie telling you she was sick and needed special care, well i was lying. I actually went to Inuyasha's castle. I knew i shouldn't have let him take the blame for the death of our son, and i felt guilty. To ease that feeling i visited him regularly." Sango put a hand on Miroku's face. "Dont be mad at me, please."

"Dont be mad! My wife lied to me about the death of our son! She caused me to lose a beloved friendship. How can i not be mad?" Miroku waved a hand to silence her before she spoke. "I shall forgive you in time, but i shall never forget." With that Miroku retreated into a hut. He needed to be alone. He needed time to think.

Could i forgive you?

Should i forgive you?

Sure i love you

But is it enough?

"We can set out for my castle in a little bit. It will give you all time to pack. Once Kagome sees you i dont believe she is going to let you leave." Kouga put a hand on Sango's shoulder.

"Dont worry, things will turn out in the end. I promise."
