"Where do you think you're going?" Miroku asked.
"To find a bed for her. And instead of breathing down my neck, you could HELP me."
Miroku grudgingly agreed. He opened the door. Sesshoumaru told him the way to Rin and Sango's room, so that he and Kirari led the way.
Sesshoumaru sat her down on the pallet. Kagome ran in with the water, some bandages, and a new kimono. "You guys have to leave."
Sesshoumaru nodded, and he and Miroku left the room. Miroku glared at him when they got outside.
"What happened?"
Sesshoumaru explained about the Naraku puppet. "Sango is a great fighter."
Miroku nodded. "But why is she here in the first place?"
"I needed someone to look after Rin."
Miroku looked outraged. "So you kidnapped her?"
Sesshoumaru nodded.
Miroku snorted. "Really nice of you."
This seemed to be too much for Sesshoumaru. "Well at least I didn't leave her to go to a village where skirt-chasing is the main sport."
Miroku looked taken aback. "What? I didn't-!"
"Don't lie. I can smell those human girls all over you."
Miroku crossed his arms. "So? It's not like she knows that."
Sesshoumaru looked at him as if he were some kind of disease. "And you're not going to tell her?"
Kagome walked into the hall. "She's doing better. The bleeding has stopped, and she's sleeping."
Sesshoumaru nodded to Kagome. "Thank you."
Miroku glared at him. "We'll continue this conversation later."
"Yes, let's." They both walked into Sango's room and sat on opposite sides.
Miroku hissed. "Kidnapper."
"Skirt-chaser."
"She-male."
"Pervert."
"...Miroku?" Sango's voice startled them both.
He looked at her. "Yes, Sango. I am here."
"Come closer..."
He sat next to her. "What is it?"
"I...I missed you."
He smirked at Sesshoumaru, who sighed. Well, there that went.
He stood and left the room. He cast a final glance at Sango. So...it was just lust.
He went to the kitchen, where Inuyasha and Kagome sat. They looked up at him.
Inuyasha leapt up. "YOU IDIOT!"
"Look, I'm sorry."
"No, I mean you left Sango, who's half unconscious, with Miroku!"
Sesshoumaru was startled. "Oh...But she loves him."
"Ah..." came a voice from behind him. "I'm afraid that's not true."
He turned to see Tenshi, Rin, and Jaken. Tenshi smiled. "I'll explain all about me later, but right now, you have to go get your Sango."
Sesshoumaru nodded. Kirara jumped in front of him, offering him a ride. He jumped on her back, and she ran down the hall.
They came to Sango's room. He heard Sango's voice. "Leave me alone."
Miroku sounded strange. "No. You are MINE."
Sesshoumaru walked in. He stared. It wasn't Miroku. It was a demon. Sango was in a corner, her eyes closed, shaking her head. "No, no, no."
The demon turned to see Sesshoumaru. "Ah, the trouble-maker."
Sesshoumaru sliced him in half.
Tenshi came through the door. "You could have made that a more epic battle."
Sesshoumaru picked up Sango. "Now tell me, what's going on?"
Tenshi sighed. "I am Tenshi, the goddess who granted Sango the wish of finding her true love, who is you. But in order to do this, I needed help, because most of the time both of you hide emotion. So I enlisted Rin, Jaken, and Naraku. But Naraku got out of hand. Anyway, while scouting the land, I saw your brother and his companions coming. But there was one companion who shouldn't have been there. The monk, Miroku, had been married and become settled. And so when I saw him with the group, I became suspicious. And like I suspected, he was actually a demon in disguise."
Sesshoumaru nodded. "But...how did you know it was me? How did you know I was her true love?"
"Well...I didn't and I still don't. The heart meter-," she drew the heart, now light pink. "can only tell so much."
He nodded. "Is that color good?"
"Yes, very. But right now, you only need one more shade, and the only way to get that, is to kiss her."
Sesshoumaru looked at Sango's sleeping form in his arms. He hesitated. But it wasn't his choice. Sango's arm brought his face down to hers, and she kissed him. He was surprised.
Everyone (except Sango and Sesshoumaru) watched in wonder as the heart turned pure white. It burst into fireworks of hearts.
Tenshi laughed happily. "Yes!"
Rin and Jaken danced around her. (There's a pretty image...Jaken dancing under pink fireworks.)
Sango and Sesshoumaru smiled at each other. Sesshoumaru sat her down on her feet.
Tenshi handed Sesshoumaru a scroll. The same one he'd been trying to open forever.
"Try to open it now. It's the final test."
He pulled at the wax, but it wouldn't come off. Sango joined him, and the seal practically fell off. The paper unfolded itself. Tenshi grabbed it from the air, and read aloud:
"Congratulations! You have found your love! But, that doesn't mean you can rest just yet! When a goddess grants you a wish, adventures are sure to follow! But no worries, you can overcome them!"
She folded up the paper. "Congratulations Sango, I am now your fairy goddess-mother."
Sango laughed. "So...This is it?"
Everyone looked at her. "What do you mean?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"I mean, you expect me to spend my life in a mansion? No way!"
Sesshoumaru sighed. "If you wish to leave with your friends, I understand."
She laughed. "Not what I meant! I mean, let's start those adventures mentioned in that letter!"
Rin jumped on Sesshoumaru's shoulder, Kirara sat on Sango's head, and Jaken walked behind them.
Tenshi laughed. "See you later!"
Kagome hugged Inuyasha. "You think we'll be like that one day?"
"I kind of hope not..."
"Inuyasha!"
"No. I mean, I love you, but I don't want you to be like Sango, she's nuts."
Shippou clapped his hands. "YAY!"
Inuyasha stared at him. "What? What did I say?"
Kagome smiled. "I love you too."
Tenshi winked at Shippou. He gave her a thumbs up, and she disappeared.
END
GW: Wow, I didn't mean to end it so soon, but it seemed right. But...You haven't seen the last of Tenshi. (hint) And, of course, what about Miroku and Sango? Is she going to visit him? That was the end of this story...but not the end of this tale. (HINT...I mean jeese...that's MORE than I hint, I practically told you that there was going to be a sequel...Like I did right there. .)
