Sango continuously turned searching for it. There were no signs of it. "Come out!" She instructed. Suddenly a sound of laughter became clearer.
"Sango," a voice called. Sango turned but still saw nothing.
"Naraku." She whispered to herself with her eyebrows knit.
"It's been a long time, that Kagome isn't a very good friend is she, running away from the battle scene." Naraku teased.
"Hey! I told her to go! If I didn't she would have stayed!" Sango retorted.
"Tsk! That's a load of crap you're just not willing to face! Tell me, why did you join them? Was it so that you can avenge your father and brother and then kill them?" He still remained invisible.
"I have no intention of ever harming any of them! My intention is to kill you!" Sango knit her eyebrows more. "Now show yourself and stop being such a coward that you are!" Sango searched until suddenly a figure emerged. It slowly walked towards her.
She gripped her boomerang and went to toss it. "Hiraiko…" She stopped half way. "K…K…Kohaku." She remained stationary.
"Aha! I found your weakness!" Naraku grinned in the mist. "Kohaku…Kill her!"
Sango got ready to defend herself against her brother once more.
Kagome opened her eyes. The mist was completely gone and the hut was directly in front of her.
"InuYasha! Miroku!" She called whilst running towards the hut.
"Finally! They're back." InuYasha huffed.
"See InuYasha? What did I tell you? They're both perfectly fine." Miroku stepped outside to find Kagome alone with some of Sango's clothing covering her head and legs. "Kagome, good to see you again but… where's Sango?" Miroku sounded slightly worried.
"Why the hell are you wearing those? Why are you soaking wet?" InuYasha moaned.
Kagome turned in astonishment; the sun shone bright and there was not a cloud in the sky. InuYasha picked a bit of hail from the clothing on Kagome's head. "What's this ice?" InuYasha held it until it melted.
"Hail stones, you have to come quick! Sango's in danger! I'm sorry I didn't stay but I was fairly useless without my arrows and I only would have got in the way, I thought it was best that I come to get help from you two." Kagome ran in to get her arrows then pulled both of them along to help Sango. Kirara peered round the doorway of the hut and transformed. They all charged towards the forest.
Miroku's mind was set on Sango. He just hoped that she was safe. Kagome sat on InuYasha's back and watched Miroku riding on Kirara. Miroku remained staring at the floor and gripping onto his staff. "Please be safe Sango." He whispered to himself.
Kagome couldn't help herself. "Miroku… what are your feelings for Sango?"
Miroku glanced at her so suddenly. That was the last question he expected. "I hope that she is safe."
"That's not what I asked, I can tell she's on your mind." Kagome cocked her head like a bird once more.
"I…We…She's my companion that's all, she's a good friend like you and InuYasha, I worry about my friends." Miroku smiled exactly the way Sango did when she lied.
"Hmph, I can tell you're lying, why don't you just tell me how the way you feel for her is different from the way you feel for me." Kagome waited for an answer.
"It's all a big misunderstanding, there's no difference in the way I feel for her and the way I feel for you." Miroku grinned.
Kagome turned bright red 'That was the wrong answer.' She thought.
"Eh? So you're saying you fancy Kagome as well as Sango?" InuYasha stupidly questioned.
Miroku looked confused. Kagome went even redder with embarrassment. She got off. "InuYasha…" Kagome called as he turned. "SIT!" InuYasha yelped as he hit the ground. As he struggled to lift his head off the ground ha asked himself. "What did I say wrong?" Kagome got even angrier.
"Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! SIT! SSSSSSIIIIIIIITTTTT!" Kagome hopped onto Kirara with Miroku and left InuYasha tailing behind. Kagome turned to see InuYasha chasing up close. She sighed with relief then yelped. Something was petting her butt. She went even redder again.
"I wish I could tell you to sit!" Kagome clenched her fist again.
"Kagome what made you think I fancied Sango?" Miroku questioned as he stopped.
Kagome turned to face him. "It's just the way that you two like well you know go together like me and InuYasha do."
"What was that you were saying about me?" Questioned InuYasha.
Kagome sighed. "Sit!" InuYasha smacked against the ground again.
"This damn necklace! Why can't I take it off? ARGH when I do Kagome is so gonna pay!" InuYasha plotted his revenge.
"Hey, I sense shikon shards." Kagome pointed out.
"Sango!" Miroku shouted as he jumped off of Kirara.
Kagome sighed, "It's just so obvious that something is going on between these two."
Sango kept her balance using her boomerang. There was blood everywhere as she was becoming ever so weak. She turned to see the others and smiled. Miroku ran towards her along with the others. Suddenly he was repelled off of a barrier that Naraku had created. Sango gasped, there was no way this could be happening.
"What do you want from me Naraku?" Sango yelled.
"Your life!" He replied.
Sango screamed in agonizing pain has Kohaku stabbed his weapon through Sango's hand pinning it to her boomerang. She fell to her knees as he ripped it from her hand. She turned to see him swing back his almighty weapon and push it forwards with a great force. She smiled and closed her eyes calm fully as she was stabbed in the sternum. Her hair blew across her face as her hands slipped away from the boomerang. It was all in slow motion as Kagome, InuYasha and Miroku gazed in horror.
"Sango!" Miroku bellowed and continuously tried to break through the barrier.
She slowly fell 'til her back hit the ground. A horrifying thud echoed across the woods as she hit the ground. The fear driving through Miroku's head made him go insane.
"InuYasha! Use tetsusaiga now! We have to get through the barrier!" Miroku kept trying to charge through it.
"Perfect… well done Kohaku, now Sango, you can join your brother and work for me." He grinned as he brought out a shikon shard.
Miroku couldn't bear it for much more. He was exhausted from the power of the barrier. InuYasha kept trying his kaze no kizu but it was no use. Kagome shouted in fear, in hope that Sango would wake up before it was too late.
He charged in for a final time. It was a miracle. Miroku found himself on the same side as Sango. He ran towards her racing the shikon shard. Kagome and InuYasha came through as well. Miroku quickly knelt down by Sango. She had blood dripping from her mouth and had lost a lot of blood from her wounds. Was she still alive? Miroku slipped his arms under her lifeless body and carried her away.
"Impossible!" Naraku bellowed in anger. "I will not let you escape!" Kagome snatched the shikon shard from the air, took Sango's boomerang and ran.
"InuYasha!" Kagome called. "We have to run now! Hurry!" Kagome pleaded.
"Bah! I'm not running from this thing! He doesn't scare me at all! Kaze no kizu!" InuYasha performed his attack so well it cut Naraku in half.
"He did it!" Kagome was astonished.
Miroku knit his eyebrows, "sadly I don't think it's ever possible." He looked down at his beloved Sango again whom he could never admit to anyone, not even himself that he loved her. For the first time since his father died he wanted to cry. His eyes shimmered and tears trickled down onto Sango. Then he looked up to see Naraku still alive.
"Ha! Do you think it's that easy to defeat me InuYasha?" Suddenly he disappeared, the mist left too. Kohaku was the only one left. Kagome stared at him for a while before Kohaku took off in the opposite direction. She rushed over to Miroku who was doing everything he could to keep Sango alive.
