Sango began to feel her body shiver, as she snuggled up as best as she could in the sleeping bag, Kagome provided for her. Inuyasha was found sleeping soundly with his sword secure in his left hand, and his head uncomfortably against the bark of the tree, with his legs dangling over and sleeping with an angered look on his face.
Miroku hadn't fallen asleep, he was too overwhelmed about what was going on between himself and Sango that left him wide awake with an happy feeling, something he never felt before. He laid his staff against his lap, and looked over towards Sango shivering as he gave a light grin and stumbled over towards her. "Sango, Sango..." He whispered until Sango's tired eyes met with his loving eyes. She felt herself blink and jump in the presence of Miroku who gave a light smile as she lifted her head from her pillow with delight. "Yes, Miroku?" Miroku slowly began untying his bows from his robe as Sango used her hand as a shield. "Miroku what the hell are you doing?" She questioned as he began to laugh and looked at her with a smile. " I saw you were shivering so I thought you could use my robe. Sango I have other things underneath..." Sango's face began to go scarlet as Miroku lowered her hand and laid his arm out with the robe hanging from his fingertips. "Thanks Miroku." Sango commented as she stood up draping the bluish-purplish robe that she adored on him, now laying on her. She began tying up the robe as Miroku began to gleam with a smile on his face.
"Miroku, what? Do I look dumb in it? Is that why you have that look?" Miroku began to grim shaking his head, as though Sango suspected something childish from Miroku even though he sure looked mature. Miroku began to place his warm hands around her waist, with his head against her shoulders as she felt herself shiver, feeling safe and secure with the embrace. She felt his hair against her neck, as her eyes opened wide blushing with each move and word of Miroku. "You look beautiful Sango. Would I lie to you about that?" Silence slowly fell between the two, as he began to slowly pull her ponytail down as her long brown radiant fell to her shoulders. Sango lightly gave a smile, as her hand lightly rested on his neck from behind, "I can't believe this is happening. Miroku and I together like this? I thought it was something that would never happen, or I'd have to wait for...I thought we were just friends before, but now I can see it's more than that."
The whole night was lit around them, as fireflies flew through the air. It was the oddest sensation Sango ever felt, but it felt so right. She slightly began to tilt her hand, as her eyes stared into his feeling her smile ear to ear. She lightly placed her slender hands on his face, as she laughed with joy. "Miroku, I could never really seeing us do this before..." She felt her sentence cut off as he lightly touched her face in return as he finished her sentence. "But now you can..."
She began to stare straight into his eyes, as she blushed when his hands touched her glowing red face. She knew it was obvious now, they were both in love and nothing else was going to change that for them. His hands lightly slipped away and brought her closer against him, as she felt herself blush even more with every moment. Slowly he grinned and closed his eyes lightly diving in for a kiss, as Sango felt herself in bliss and happiness, as Miroku began deepening the kiss even more. For what seemed like hours was only minutes, as she felt Miroku pull away when he heard a noise from the distance of the shadows that even awoke the demon. "Miroku, what's amatter?" Miroku looked at her with a soft smile, and a tense face as he grabbed his staff and hurried. "Sango it isn't that believe me. I heard something lurking behind the bushes. Stay put and promise me that!"
Sango felt his arms latch away from her waists, as she felt so unsafe now. She felt herself shiver in the coldness as Miroku began running into the dark shadows of the forest, leaving Sango standing in the coldness, rushing through the forest.
Sango listened to his vary word, as she stood nervously and patiently waiting at the foot of the forest, as her long brown hair began to get tangled from the blow of the wind. She could only stare, being nervous how quiet it was and how long Miroku was taking. She felt something rub against her foot as she almost screamed and jumped, when she noticed it was Kirara against her foot. "Oh it's just you Kirara.." She said with a grin on her face picking up the small fox like demon in her arms, as Sango's face began again to looked worried.
They both sat in silence, as she began nervously petting Kirara, as Kirara could see her fingers tremble.
"Kirara, he's been gone along time..Maybe something happened to him..Wait, Miroku can take care of himself Sango.." She thought with worry, as she began tapping her foot only to watch the trees sway in the wind from the forest, that brought a chill through her spine, as Kirara stopped purring with delight. Sango's brown hair blew, as she held Kirara tight a night that reminded her of her village getting destroyed. She remembered hiding from the demons that stalked her village, holding on to Kirara tight in her arms trying so hard not to whimper. She remembered being that scared girl, hidden in the closet with her eyes shut tight holding Kirara knowing her family was dead. Her village wasn't once destroyed but twice, but the first was something that scared her at the very thought.
"Kirara, please protect please.. Don't let them hurt me.." She opened her eyes quickly, gaining her breath realized the thought of when her village was destroyed, and she was found but somehow she was lucky. She began to shake her head, "I'm not letting anything like that happen.. I know Miroku told me to stay put for my safety but no way, am I gonna stand on Kirara..." She swiftly grabbed her boomerang over her shoulders and Kirara bouncing in her arms each time she picked up the pace as she dashed into the forest. "I'm not standing back.. Where ever Miroku goes I am.. That's how it will always be..No matter what happens."
Sango began flying through the branches, and the dark damp forest hardly seeing a foot in front of her, as she continued flying blindly heavily breathing with each step she took.
She began to scream, when she felt herself trip into mud as Kirara walked along side as Sango hopped on with worries and deadly thoughts of what could have happened to Miroku. "He better be alright...Miroku! Miroku! Answer me please!! Miroku?!" She began thinking of Miroku laying injured on the ground in a gruesome way as she began to shake her head. "No, that's not going to happen. I won't let it!!" Sango yelled as they flew deeper into the forest as Sango began intensely grabbing Kirara feeling nervous and uneasy of the thoughts of Miroku she wished, never went through her head.
She began to feel herself panic, she couldn't let him wander all by himself she knew if she did something could happen, and she wasn't going to risk that either. She still screamed his name, but no response came to her. Only the sounds of crows laughing in the distance that made her feel uneasy and brought her back horrible visions and memories. " Please be alright Miroku!!"
She began to feel herself loose grip on Kirara, as Kirara began to stumble down to the ground as Sango found herself lifting herself from the ground. She couldn't see Kirara anymore, not behind her. "Kirara? Kirara where are you?" She began to scream loosing so many things that were close to her. She felt herself stand in the middle of the dark forest, trying to wave her hand past her face, but she could see nothing but an outline.
Her heart began to beat rapidly, as she felt blood seep from her left arm from a hideous fall feeling alone, threatening whatever could be with her boomerang held up high.
"What's going on???" She began to cry, as she felt herself nervously glance in all direction feeling unsafe without Miroku's arms around her waist, or him fighting along side with her.
She began to hear noises around her everywhere as she began to feel nervous and then relaxed. "It's probably just Kirara, or Miroku. Come on this isn't funny!" She began to nervously laugh as nothing appeared, only the sound in her ears. She began to nervously walk, hearing the sound trailing behind her steadily and stopped when she placed her foot down. She began to make fists feeling tears ready to stream down her eyes. "Miroku? This isn't funny!! If this is one of your sick twisted jokes you can stop right now you hear me?! Miroku!?" She began to feel the forest grow bigger, as she began to run the only instinct she had was to run as fast as she could. " I gotta get out of here, something isn't right..."
She began running faster and faster, as the noise in the distance began to pick up and chasing her the faster she began to run. "Leave me alone!!" She began to scream as she felt herself blindly fall over a broken tree, falling into the ground wincing in pain and crying tears. She began to tighten her eyes, as the noise slowly disappeared, as she sighed with relief. "Finally, it's gone.." As she went to stand she felt something against her shoulders. She thought it was a branch, but the hand felt ice cold as she began to shiver. "That isn't no tree branch..." Her face went blank as she stood still feeling the hand creep up on her shoulders. "I won't leave you alone..I can't.. I never will...."
