IV. The Fight

"Sango? What are you – "

Before Miroku could finish his sentence, Sango unsheathed her sword and attacked him. He was too surprise to react. Miroku brought his staff up just in time to block her attack.

"What is this?" Sango didn't answer him, she was focused on her sword.

"Sango," Miroku tried again. At first he thought she was possessed, but he couldn't sense any demon or evil aura around. He was thoroughly confused.

He tried to remember if he did anything or said anything that might've upset her. But he knew that even though she was scary when mad, she wouldn't take it this far.

They went on fighting as Miroku tried to figure out what was going on. He tried to think, but was too busy blocking Sango's attacks to protect himself. It seemed that she was determined to bring him down. He tried to read her face and eyes, but her face remained emotionless and her eyes were cold.

"Is this a game? It's not funny," he grunted as he blocked another blow.

She's strong. Miroku felt the strength of the demon exterminator behind each blow.

"Stop, please!"

"Huh?" Inuyasha woke up. He had heard sounds of fighting with his sensitive ears. He sniffed the wind and didn't detect any demons near.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha looked behind him and saw that Kagome was also awake. She looked worried.

"I heard fighting," Inuyasha informed her. "But I can't smell demons or sense anything evil. Kagome, can you sense any jewel shards?"

Kagome shook her head after a few seconds.

"Hey, where did Sango and Miroku go?" Kagome exclaimed when she saw the two were missing. "Do you think they sensed something and went to check it out by themselves?"

"Nah, they probably tell us if they did. If they are in trouble, I'll be able to hear and smell that."

"Okay, if you say so. I just hope that they aren't in any danger."

"They can take care of it. Go back to sleep. The sounds were probably just my imagination."

Sango kept on attacking Miroku and he kept on blocking. The confused and hurt look on Miroku's face made Sango feel guilty. She struggled to keep her composure and be strong. She kept her face blank and her attacks coming.

Sango was getting tired. So she decided to use a different strategy. She stopped attacking and stepped back.

Miroku was confused and lowered his staff. Was this just a practice?

In his moment of confusion, Sango stepped forward and put the tip of her sword into the loop on Miroku's staff. He wasn't holding on tightly, so she was able to use her sword as a stick and tossed the staff from his hands. The staff landed out of Miroku's reach.

Miroku was starting to become a bit afraid. He had nothing to block her sword, and he couldn't use his Kazaana on her. But the most frightening part was that he couldn't sense any evil presence, meaning that Sango wasn't possessed and was doing this of her own free will.

"Sango…" he backed slowly away from her, away from her cold stare.

Instead of what Miroku expected her to do, Sango tackled him and knocked him to the ground, knocking out his breath temporarily.

When he got his breath back, he almost fainted again. Sango was on top of him, pinning him down. The tip of her sword was inching closer to his neck
Muahahahah!! Another evil cliffie, they are my specialty... Thank you all for the reviews! I feel so special!!

Thank you Karen10 for correcting my mistake, I'll use 'Aneue' instead of 'Onee-san' from now on.

Inuyasha: Let me out of this barrier!!

Weird pairings:

Thanks for everyone who made suggestions, I think that's enough now, so now I want to know which one I should write once this story is finished.
P.S. does anyone know what Kag's mom's name is? or at least what I should call her?
