On the last episode of Inuyasha:
"Die?!"

Sangos terror stricken voice broke through the tension in the room and Inuyasha closed his mouth, his ears drooping. He didn't say anything, so she looked at Kaede.

"Lady Kagome isn't doing well at all. She has a fever, and her pulse is slowing. It is up to her now....there is nothing I can do."

Sango quickly walked to the other side of Kagome, dropping to her knees, she took Kagome's other hand.

"Kagome...come on....Your strong....you have to stay with us....stay with me....you're my sister....you can't leave me...."

Romance/Action Adventure
Chapter 6
Please Dont Leave Me Again
Miroku picked Sango up gently from the floor. Holding her bridal style with one arm, he used his other to pry her fingers gently out of Kagome's. After he got her fingers loose, he carried her to the cot which was now empty of the two furballs. They had gone with Kaede to get some more herbs for Kagome.
He laid her on the cot, and looked down at her tear-streaked face. He smoothed back her bangs and leaned down, kissing her forehead softly. She murmured something but didn't wake up. After watching her for another minute, he walked back out to Kagome and Inuyasha, shutting the door quietly behind him.
Inuyasha looked up, his ears hearing the catch of the door as it clicked shut. Miroku saw that his eyes were cloudy with emotion and three sleepless night, but he just smiled faintly.
Walking over to the two companions, he sat down crosslegged, his staff leaning against his shoulder. He eyes Inuyasha carefully.
"You should get some sleep, Inuyasha. When Kagome wakes up, you will be the first to know," He said, eying the grip the hanyou had on Kagome's hand. Inuyasha noticed where his gaze lead, but said nothing.
"Feh, like I can sleep while Kagome is balancing on the brink of death." Inuyasha looked away from Miroku and back at Kagomes now-peaceful face.
"Looks like her fever has gone down. Her face has gained some color, and her breathing is even." Miroku leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes in thought.
"Yeah...I dont know what Kaede did but whatever it was, helped."
Miroku briefly opened his eyes to look at Inuyasha. He had never heard him call the elderly priestess by her name before, but he closed his eyes, deciding now wasn't the best time to rile his temper.
"Inuyasha....."
They both looked up to see Kagome struggling to open her eyes. Inuyasha jumped to his knees, his fingers grasping Kagomes tightly.
"Miroku, go get Lady Kaede!," Inuyasha yelled, his eyes never leaving Kagome.
"But, what i-"
"GO!"
Miroku got up quickly and ran out of the hut in search of Kaede. Inuyasha heard the beaded door swish shut but kept his gaze on Kagome. Her eyes were shut tight as if she was in pain, but no sound came from her mouth. Slowly, she started to open her eyes, her mouth forming his name.
"Kagome....I love you....please come back...."
She looked around, her eyes catching nothing in the haze that was her trap. She knew what happened, knew that she was probably in the hospital or somewhere getting help, but she didn't want to wake up. The pain she felt when she fell in the well...she didn't want to experience that again.
Only thing was, it wasn't the gun wound she didn't want to feel. It was the pain in her heart. Something always told her, she didn't love Bobby the way she loved Inuyasha, but she loved him nonetheless, and the loss of him, the fact that he died in her arms was just over-whelming. It told her how much he cared for her, how much he loved her.
That he would give his life for her.
His life....for hers.
Thats what he did.
She shook her head, but it did little to help. The memory of it swam in her vision, torturing her.
The first gunman appeared, a gun in his hand, a cocky smile on his face. He looked Kagome over, his eyes glazed with lust and the need for blood. Bobby shoved her behind him, his eyes hard and cold.
"Don't even think...about touching her...or you wont live to regret it." His voice was dangerous, his gaze unwavering. But before either of them could do anything, she was grabbed from behind, spun around so she was facing the person that took her.
Her scream attracted Bobby, and he turned swiftly, his gaze falling on the person holding Kagome by her hair, pulling her head back to expose her neck. He saw the guy take his gun and placed the barrel on her neck, and he watched in horror as she struggled against the mans grip.
The guy laughed.
'Feisty one isn't she? I can see why she's so important to you.' The guy lowered his own head, so his breath was on her neck. His eyes, however, were watching Bobby, to see his reaction, and he was caught off guard when Kagome rammed her elbow into his chest. His hold broke on her, but not before he shoved her to the floor.
'Kagome!'
Before he could run to her, another guy appeared, seven feet away from them, his eyes glittering madly with the passion for bloodshed, and his gun aimed at Kagome.
Sitting up, she was defensless, as the gun went off. Next thing she knew, she was on her feet, watching Bobby jump in front of the bullet, heard his moan and watched him fall to the floor. Guns fired again.
"Bobby!! No!!"
She dove to the ground to avoid the string of bullets that seemed to round forever.
"Kagome...I love you...please come back...."
Inuyasha....what is he doing with me? How did he find me?...
"Kagome....come on Kagome...please...."
She wanted to get back to him....but what about Kikyo?....She didn't want to lay her heart on the line again....it just hurt too much....maybe I shouldn't go back....maybe if I stay here long enough....I can just...
She opened her eyes.
At first everything was blurry, but slowly, Inuyashas panicked face came into view and she was aware of his hand in hers, his other hand on her face.
"Hey....Kagome." He smiled, a real, genuine, smile. His eyes softened as she smiled faintly at him.
"....you found me....," her voice was soft, and weak, but he was glad to hear it.
"Didn't you know that I would?," he answered, neither hand leaving her body.
"....I'm glad...to see you...." She winced slightly at the pain in her chest.
"Im glad you woke up."
She smiled at him, but her face changed to pain and he looked worridly down at her.
"Whats wrong? Are you okay?"
She shook her head, as much as she could, wanting to get her question out.
"Why....why are you here?....Why aren't you with Kikyo?...."
He braced himself for the question the minute she woke up, knowing she would ask. He shook his head, all his emotions were mixed up, but they were strong and he knew what he was doing.
"Why would I be with Kikyo, when you were on the verge of death, huh?....I told you I would always protect you....and I failed...." He lowered his head in shame, his eyes going anywhere, but meeting hers.
He felt her hand on his cheek, and she forced him to look at her. Her eyes were clouded with pain, but he could see the question in them.
"Did you stay with me?....The whole time?"
He nodded. "Yeah....I talked to you...." He knew he probably sounded stupid but he didn't care.
"I heard you...."
He looked at her stunned, she heard him? He blushed, thinking of some of the things he said to her. But he meant every word, and he would say it all again if it meant she could stay.
"You did?" He felt uneasy, as if he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"Mmm hmm," She mummbled. "...I...love you too...but....Kikyo...." Her eyes closed again, and her breath became deep, and even, signaling that she was sleeping.
He stared, stunned, at what she had just said. Did she say that? Or was I just imagining?...
Before he could dwell on it, Miroku came running in, his face sweaty, his breathing ragged. He had clearly run here. Kaede, Shippo and Kilala came up behind him, riding on Kilala.
Miroku helped Kaede off and she ambled over to them.
"Has she awoken yet, child?"
"Yeah...I was just talking to her...then she fell asleep...."
"What did she say? Was she in pain?"
"Um....," He didn't want to tell them what she had said, and felt a slight blush rise to his cheeks. "She didn't say she was in any pain....but I saw it in her eyes....she's just sleeping right now, aint she? She aint unconscious, or somethin?"
"Hai, she is asleep, and her breathing is regular. She is fine. She just needs to rest, now. Will you and Miroku please step outside while I change her bandages?"
Shippo and Kilala who sat in the backround so Kaede could check on Kagome, bound over, Shippo bubbling with excitement. He looked at Inuyasha.
"Is mommy gonna be okay?!" He asked, his sapphire orbs hopeful.
Inuyasha nodded and Shippo started jumping up and down, Kilala mewing softly.
Inuyasha reluctantly started to get up, but found he couldn't.
"Inuyasha...." Kagome's voice broke his thoughts, and her fingers held his hand tightly.
"Um....I can't leave....she wont let me....and I told her I wouldn't...." He sent a half-apologetic look at Kaede, but he was glad Kagome wouldn't let him go.
"Hai....then you can stay. "Miroku, however, still has to leave."
"Hai, Lady Kaede."
Kagome's condition, and then Sangos feelings had sobered him, and he found that he didn't want to stay, for a chance to see Kagome. He wanted to get back to Sango. He left them with a slight nod, and a backward glance at Kagome, as if assuring himself she was all right, and went into the room he and Sango had waited in.
He knew Sango would want to be awoken with news of Kagome's condition, so he sat next to her sleeping form. At first, he was hesitant to wake her, but he knew she would want him to, she he reached over, and gently shook her shoulder.
"Sango....Sango."
She murmmered something unintelligable but woke up nonetheless. As soon as she saw Miroku, she sat up quickly.
"Kagome....is Kagome okay?" Her eyes were frantic, and her face worried, but he just smiled at her and she got his message.
"Can I go see her?"
"Lady Kaede is re-bandaging her. Inuyasha is with her now."
Sango looked at him quizically.
"He is with her....and Kaede is still re-bandaging her wound?"
Miroku chuckled.
"She woke up....and the two talked for a while....I didn't get to hear any of it, because I had to go get Lady Kaede....when I got back, Kagome had fallen asleep, and when he tried to get up, she said his name, and held his hand tighter so he couldn't leave." He saw a slow grin appear on Sangos face, and new she was thinking the same thing he was.
"She's okay!"
Sango threw her arms around Mirokus neck, hugging him, in what would have been a friendly embrace, if they had not shared a kiss earlier. Blushing, she pulled back slightly, but Miroku tightened his hold on her waist. He looked in her eyes.
"Im sorry....about the way I acted earlier....I was just ashamed at myself....I mean, here Kagome was, fighting for her life....and I was in here, kissing you....," She took a deep breath. "Being happy....for a moment....then I realized how selfish it was....and I freaked out."
Miroku just smiled at her, and she felt herself blush even more.
"Why are you smiling? Im being serious!"
"So am I." He leaned forward and placed his lips against hers. At first, she started to pull away, but then she realized, Kagome would want her to be happy, no matter what, and she kissed him back, her arms winding around his neck.
They broke away breathless, although reluctantly, and stared in each others eyes for a moment. Miroku almost broke their gaze, her eyes, so full of love, passion, and spark, not just for him, but for everyone she cared for, making him feel like he could lay his feelings out on the line, without fear of being rejected.
Then it hit him like a ton of bricks...maybe she was doing this out of pity...maybe she was just vunerable at the moment, and when everything smoothed over with Kagome, she would say that what had happened between them didn't mean anything and she regretted it.
Those thoughts clouded his head, and they alone, caused him to shake out of her embrace, and get off the side of the bed, walking over to the window. His hand clutched his staff tightly. That was one thing he never wanted to happen. Now that he knew what his feelings for Sango were, he wouldn't be able to take her not returning them.
Sango saw the pain in his eyes, the wonder, the question, wondering if he should have done what he did. She saw his white-knuckles and felt her heart go out to him. She knew if they were going to be able to figure what to do about their feelings, they had to talk about it.
She got off the bed, and felt her knees buckle. How long had she been out? It felt as if she was drained of all her strenght. But it was probably just because she only got maybe a couple of hours of sleep in three days.
Miroku heard her get off the bed, and in his peripheral vision, saw her struggle to stand, but before he could help her, she straightened up, and walked over to him, careful to give him his space. He kept his eyes focused on the village river, which was now sparkling with the first rays of sunshine.
"Miroku?," She said hesitantly.
Finally, her broke his gaze from the river, his eyes settling into her chocolate brown. He saw the understanding in her eyes, along with the question and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Sango," He said weerily. "I took advantage of you, and for that I am sincerely sorry. I never had any intention of doing so. Please except my forgiveness?"
"No," She said quietly. "I can't believe you think that I am so weak, as to be taken advantage of." Her voice was quiet, but there was no hint of anger.
"Sango, thats not what I meant, I-," But he was cut off as Sango rose on her toes and kissed him passionatly.
When she pulled back she looked in his eyes.
"Now, tell me, does that seem like your taking advantage of me?"
Too stunned to speak, he shook his head slightly.
"Regardless of my state, or frame of mind, I am not weak enough to be taken advantage of. If I hadn't wanted to kiss you, I would have pulled away that night you kissed me for the first time."
He stood their speachless for a few moments, aware of their closeness, of the heat coming off her body, and the scent of her hair intoxicated him. He brushed his fingers against the side of her face lightly, and brought his face down so that his cheek was against her, her warm breath tickling his neck.
"Does that mean....," He asked quietly, his breath brushing against the side of her face in a whisper.
"Yes....It means I wanted you to kiss me. And I wanted to kiss you. It means, that all the time you have flirted constintly with other women, I sat on the sidelines, brewing, and knew that if one of the women you asked to bare your child accepted, I would rip you limb from limb if you took her up on it."
Miroku smirked and Sango felt the smile in his words.
"You were jealous?"
"....."
Her silence answered it for him and he pulled away from her, took her hands in his, a serious expression taking over his handsome features.
"Sango...will you bare my child?"
