She was alone, sobbing in the darkness.Tears wet the ground around her, but she didn't care.Everyone who had ever cared for her, everyone who loved her had died.Her family, and now Miroku.She remembered his smile-the way his blue eyes sparkled with amusement when she slapped him.Now, she even somewhat missed his perverted tendancies.He may have been foolish, but I loved him, she thought,sighing.The forest was quiet and dark at this time of night.Sango had spent the last three hours sobbing, until she thought her heart would break.In one hand she held a sharp dagger, it's silver surface glinting in the moonlight.This was the only way to stop her pain, to stop the pangs of loneliness and sorrow that increased every day.Nobody loved her-the lone Taijiya, her kin and lover dead.Nobody would ever know or care.

How very wrong she was.

With a deep breath,Sango aimed the dagger at her own heart, starting to plunge it into her flesh.However,a blur of red flashed by her, and in a second,the dagger was out of her hands.Inuyasha took the blow of the knife for her, and he was now nursing his arm."You idiot!How could you THINK of doing something like this?"he yelled, becoming angry.In Sango, the sorrow turned to rage."HOW COULD YOU EVER KNOW HOW I FEEL?"she screamed shrilly."I LOST EVERYONE,EVERYTHING THAT CARED ABOUT ME!"

"No"he said quietly."I care about you."

What a drastic change those few words brought about her.Sango calmed down, and broke into a heap on the ground."I'm sorry, Inuyasha.I shouldn't yell at you."

He sat down beside her."I lost my mother, Kagome and my father.But we still have each other."

Then he leaned down, cupped her chin, and kissed her.It was a kiss full of tenderness, and a blazing passon.He poured out all his love to her, and she obliged with her own.His mouth was so warm..so soft, Sango thought, slipping into ecstacy.She fell into his arms, so strong and yet tender.They hugged each other, she stroking her hands through his silky silver hair, he holding her tight.

A pearly light filled the forest clearing.Two figures apparated as though out of thin air.Miroku and Kagome's spirits looked down upon them.They didn't seem angry or jealous."We're glad you two got together"Kagome said kindly."We don't want you to mope all your lives.I grant you the best of luck".With that,she dissapeared."Eh.."said Miroku,donning his usual bemused grin."What she said."

Then he too,dissapeared.Sango grinned.She had their approval.

Because of Inuyasha,she felt that she could live on.
