Mattou Yakusoku

Fulfilled Promise

Chapter Six -Lost Love-

"Kagome! Kagome stop! STOP!" Miroku grabbed her hands forcing her to break down into a river of tears. "Kagome, what do you mean i did this? Kagome? KAGOME look at me!" Her eyes lifted to the soft complexion of Miroku.

"She was so sad, she was just so sad." Her sentences came out mumbled and barely coherent, but it all made sense to Miroku. He knew what she was sad about. 'Kagome is right, this is my fault.' Tears flowed from his eyes. He was a murderer.

"No, Sango." Miroku cradled his mate. Once so full of life, now dull and listless.

"Hey guys why are you on the ground?" Inuyasha smelled blood but it looked as if all of them were ok so he was trying to put his mind to ease. "Oh no, Sango." His ears gave a slight twitch before falling back to his head.

"Tell me Inuyasha! TELL ME YOU HEAR A HEART BEAT!" Miroku kissed the top of her head.

"Im Sorry Miroku." Inuyasha looked over to Kagome. She was hugging her knees sitting in a tight ball. He felt so bad for her. She hadnt even been back one day and already grief has stricken her more then once.

"NO!" Miroku hit Inuyasha square in the jaw. No, he wasn't mad at him but at himself. Although he was taking his anger out of Inuyasha.

"Ouch, fuck that hurt!" Inuyasha cradled his jaw in one hand.

"Little brothers never learn." Sesshomaru floated gracefully down from the sky. His hair engulfing him as he landed.

"Your- Your supposed to be dead!" Miroku circled the older Inu-Youkia. "Why are you here? Where have you been?"

"Training, it seems that tensiega doesnt like my human form. It is the cause for my timely changes into my true form." Sesshomaru brushed a strand of hair from his face.

"You seem fine now." Inuyasha picked up crimson stained Sango from the cold earth.

"To your eye. I have one week before i must return to Master Taro. What happened to the human?" Sesshomaru ran a hand over to eyes to close them. Showing respect for the woman.

"Suicide." Kagome broke out in tears. The thought of her beloved friend killing herself, stripping her should from her body was just too much to handle. Kagome was in denial. Whether she accepted she was or not Sango was not coming back.

An intense look passed Sesshomaru's eyes. He could save her. But he would be throwing away all his training. He would have to start from the beginning. Should he waste his life on such a feeble bodied woman?

Sango opened her brown eyes to the gawking people around her. Sesshomaru stood towering above her with Tensiega pulled out. "Sesshomaru! Your training! You wasted a year of your life just trying to control it for a week!" Sango quickly rushed over to the strong youkia. "I dont get it. Taro said the Tensiega would kill you if you used it before you were ready."

"It was worth it. Consider us even?" Sango nodded her head in complete understanding. "Please, excuse me, but i only have about an hour before my true form emerges." Sesshomaru took off into the air without a second glance. He had done the right thing. After what Sango did for him it was the least he could do.

"Welcome back." Sango walked over to Kagome and wiped a tear from her face. "It's good to be back." Soon she remembered what she had done...and why. Miroku stood alone against a tree. Only when she acknowledged him did he come over to her.

"You bastard!" Sango shoved him to the ground. "Was i not important enough to save!" A confused look crossed his chiseled features.

"Sango, I-"

"Save it!" Sango help him up from the ground. Her hand grasped a necklace around his neck. In one swift motion she plucked it from him. "Remember this? You said you would save me with this if i needed it! You said i was the only thing that matter enough to use something this precious on!"

"A Phoenix tear." Kagome put a hand on Sango's shoulder. "Only when true loves meet, shall a phoenix find defeat, Two tears it will shed just incase one love is found dead." Sango took one step away from Miroku.

"If you loved me... why didn't you help me?"
