Chapter 3 Making a deal with the Devil. By Michelle Smiley

"I'll do anything!" Miroku said. "Good I was hoping you would say that." Sesshoumaru stayed. "I want Inuyasha and Kagome!" "I will not kill my friends!" "Now now Miroku I never asked you to kill them I just need you to bring them to us." "Who is us?" Miroku asked as the door opened and Naraku appeared. "NO! I will defiantly not help you."

"Well Miroku that's a shame because I took your curse away in hope that you would help us and we both have waited along time for your friends to be in the right place and tomorrow is the right time. And I even let your son live with the out the curse." Miroku nodded in appreciation to Naraku. "I can't if I did anything to Kagome or Inuyasha, Sango would never forgive me."

"Okay fallow us!" Sesshoumaru said leading the way out of the room. Sesshoumaru lead them to a pool. Naraku walked up to it and waved his hand over it. It showed Inuyasha and Kagome sleeping. Miroku noticed that there was something different about Kagome. 'It was the same thing that was different with Sango when she was..' Miroku didn't finish his thought before he blurted out

"Kagome's pregnant! I can't do anything that might hurt her or her baby! And if I did Sango would hate me." Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. And Naraku moved his hand over the pool again. This time it showed a little boy sleeping and Sango was sitting in a char in a corner of the room crying to her self.

"Is that my..."Miroku started

"yes that is, that is your son!"

"why is she crying?" Miroku asked as his heart started to break. "Because she misses the only man she ever loved her husband." Sesshoumaru used that as a gilt trip on Miroku. "she would never forgive me. She would hate me forever. I would never be able to see her or my son again."

"you are not seeing her now. You are not with her now. She thinks your dead. She's trying to move on if you don't help us she will forget all about you Miroku what will you do?" Naraku said trying to brainwash Miroku into saying yes. Miroku just wanted to cry when he was listing to Naraku's words.

"we will see tomorrow if you still fill that same way. Okay just go back to you room and think about it." Sesshoumaru said and Miroku nodded then he stopped "what is tomorrow?"

"tomorrow you supposedly died. 10 years ago. And your son has asked to go to your grave. So you can meet him tomorrow. Now go think about everything we told you." Miroku nodded at all the information he just got. Miroku walked into his room and Naraku and Sesshoumaru shut the door. Miroku sat on his bed and all he could think of was Sango's crying face. He let a couple of tears escape his eyes. He lied down and closed his eyes hoping to get her image out of his thoughts but it seemed to come in clearer. All he wanted to do was go and hug her. And make her stop crying. 'maybe sango would understand.' he thought then he pushed it out of his mind and he said aloud "sango would never forgive me!"

'I can't trade my friends for myself. Sango would never forgive him and I would still lose my family' he tried to just forget it and fall asleep but he let a few more tears escape before he lost himself in another dreamless deep sleep.

Sango woke up not realizing that she ever fell asleep. She didn't know how she was going to make it threw the day. She woke her son up and he saw it was raining out side. "mom can we still go even though it is raining?"

"of course we can. Besides it always rains on this day." sango said wrapping her son in warm clothes. And they took off on Kirara leaving kagome and inuyasha behind. When Sango got there she helped her son off of Kirara. Miroku jr. ran to the two footprints of grass. that's still the only sign of life in this area.

"Is this it Mom?" Miroku asked. Sango nodded and then she said "Yes that is your fathers Died." then the wind brought a new voice

"What if I didn't die?" Sango smiled "I remember that the wind plays tricks on broken hearts But not this time." She said to the wind. Her son wasn't paying her any attention which was a good thing. Sango thought she was smarter then last time she knows that she didn't see him die but this site shows here that he did die. But then the voice returned

"But sango I never died 10 years ago!" Sango was shocked she was right all along. Miroku stepped out from the forest coming closer to them. Sango didn't know what to do. "Kirara!" She called the cat over to her as she ran to her son. She put her son on Kirara and said "Kirara take him back to the village and honey tell inuyasha to come here I need his help okay." the little boy nodded and Kirara took off.

"Sango why did you make things so hard. I just wanted to meet my son!" Sango shook her head "I can sense Sesshoumaru and Naraku near by. I wont be deceived." she said with her boomerang in one hand and his staff in the other.

"Sango, trust me it's me, Miroku. The father of your son. Your only love"

"No your wrong!" she cried. "Miroku died. I have his beads and his staff. If he was alive he would need that. Plus, I have his son he wouldn't leave us like this. He would have never let me suffer like this."

"You have to believe me, Sango-chan. I love you. Don't you remember. I'm sorry, I couldn't come to see you sooner because Sesshoumaru had me. He some how saved me from the air void! I don't have it anymore!"

"If you are Miroku, tell me what we did the night before you died?"

"okay, you were laying down on the bed and I had my ear up to your stomach when your son our son kicked for the first time. He kicked me right in the ear. And then he was restless. I remember the pain on your face so I kissed your stomach and tell our child that I love him and he settled down. And you fell asleep with your head against my chest."

Sango was shocked 'how could he know all of this? It must be Miroku' sango thought.

Inuyasha came running into the clearing "Sango, Stay Back! He must be an imposter. He smells demon and stinks like Sesshoumaru and Naraku!" Inuyasha growled.

"Yes, I know but he claims that he is Miroku!"

"Don't believe me Sango and Inuyasha I can see why. I just got out to come and worn you. Sesshoumaru and Naraku are planning to attack you guys. Please go on thinking I'm dead its better that way. I refused to help them and I will not allow them to hurt my friends and family. Well goodbye my love and tell our son that I love him!"

"If you are telling the truth, how can you be warning us? Do they know you are out?" Sango asked

"I don't know. They told me that you were going to be here today and this morning they were not around so I left to come here. I think they planed it as a Distraction...."

Miroku was quieted by Kagome's scream. Inuyasha took off for his wife. "Sango wait." so she stopped and turned around not to see the Miroku but to see Naraku standing there. "I knew this was a trap." Sango said letting her boomerang fly.

"Sango Now hear me out first!" he said moving out of the way of the boomerang coming towards him. "I'll give you two options Miroku and your life or Inuyasha and Kagome's live."

"No, Naraku. I wont let you hurt my friends like that. I'm not a trader like you!"
