Chapter 7
Okay. Sorry for having you hanging for so long. I spent the night at one of my friend's house. Well. back to the story...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome was digging though her back. 'Where is it?' She began vigorously searching for the potion. 'Why did I have to put it on the bottom?' Finally, she caught sight of something glass. Pulling out the potion, she looked at the label. She couldn't find how much to give him. At the bottom, it said, "Must be used within 1 hour of wound. If not, your wound may be fatal. Must be given by the one closest to your heart." Kagome looked at the bottle. "Closest to Miroku's heart?" she whispered out loud. Inuyasha heard what she had said and walked over. Kagome looked at him and let him read the label. He looked at her. "Sango." they both said at the same time.
Kagome took the bottle over to Sango, who was still by Miroku's side, sobbing unapparently. "Here Sango. Give this to him." Sango looked up at Kagome. "Why me?" Kagome sighed as let her read the label. "I'm not closest to his heart. You are. He just found out that you are a long lost relative. You're the one, Kagome." Kagome shook her, head standing up. "No Sango. You are the one. I know you won't admit it, but you love him and he loves you. You are the one closest to his heart. You must give it to him." With that, Kagome walked away, not wanting to hear her reject the idea. Sango watched Kagome walked away. She looked back at the bottle. 'I'm not the one closest to his heart... am I?'
She looked down at Miroku. His face was covered with sweat as his body tried to fight the poison. Something needed to be done. She looked at the bottle. She uncorked it, bringing it down to Miroku's lips. "Drink this." she said, even though he wasn't able to hear it. Miroku drank some of the fluid from the bottle. Sango took the empty bottle away. 'I hope that it works...' Sango thought as she sat next to Miroku.
Kagome watched from a distance. "Good, she gave it to him." she said. Inuyasha watched Sango as well. Then, he looked over at Kagome. She seemed to be relieved. 'At least, she's happy.' he thought as he turned back to watch Sango. 'Now all we can do is wait and hope he got his medicine in time.'
