SANGO CONTORLLED

They reached the lands of demons and Sango immediately darted off to search for the priest.

"Kazaana!" Miroku's voice echoed through the woods. Sango came up behind him to find Naraku holding Hotaru and Shippo. She gripped her boomerang with the word anger written all over her face.

"It's quite a pity, the fox did try, but he's just no match for me…oh Sango, back for some more eh?" Naraku grinned.

"I'm gonna keep coming back until everyone is safe!" Sango shouted as she tossed her boomerang with almighty strength. "Hiraikotsu!" Miroku closed his wind channel and watched her. 'Why does she come back to me?' Miroku thought to himself.

Naraku tossed the boomerang aside. "It's useless! You're just wasting your time!" He sent that blast at Sango again. She watched in fear as she was about to be captured by Naraku's attack. She turned to hear a voice.

"SANGO!" Miroku cried as he jumped to push her out of the way. She smacked the ground as he was taken by the blast and landed on top of her. Naraku tossed Hotaru and Shippo aside as Kagome and InuYasha rushed to help them.

"Houshi-sama…" Sango whimpered trying to shake him awake. Suddenly his eyes opened, however; it wasn't the Miroku she knew; Naraku was controlling him. "M…Miroku…oh no! I'm so sorry this is all my fault!" She apologised flinging her arms around him. "Please become normal again! Please wake up!" She screamed as he smacked her aside with his staff. "H…H…Houshi-sama." She looked up at him in fear.

"Big brother!" Hotaru cried as she raced towards him. Miroku turned smacked her with his staff then opened the wind channel.

Sango gasped as she grabbed his leg and pulled him back down. She snatched his arm and smacked his hand palm down on the ground. She gazed up to Naraku in despair. "Please… I beg of you…let him go. He's an innocent human being who shouldn't be caught up in this. If it's me you want…here I am." Sango pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Finally you came to your senses." Naraku smiled as he released Miroku. Hotaru sat up and gazed in fear. Miroku glanced in shock; Sango risked her life to save him and the others by covering kazaana.

Sango stood with her eyes closed and walked over to Naraku. "Sango…what are you doing?" Miroku questioned. Naraku laughed.

"If I were human, this would bring a tear to my eye. Sango is sacrificing herself to save you." Naraku chuckled as Miroku raised his eyebrows in shock. "Tell me Sango, why are you doing this? Do you care for the priest so much? What's the reason?"

Sango's tears continued to fall. "I…I…I…I…" she took a deep breath. "I love him…" Sango gazed at Miroku in determination to save him. Miroku's eyes shimmered; he never thought he'd hear Sango speak those words.

Miroku stood to reach her but was yet again repelled by another barrier. He skid along the ground grazing his back and made a slight groan. He struggled to sit up and saw Sango with her eyes closed remaining completely stationary. He knit his eyebrows in anger. He didn't want it to end this way. 'There has to be a way!' he thought as he stood again.

"Sango!" InuYasha and Kagome cried as they rushed over. Hotaru charged at the barrier as she too was repelled and crashed into Miroku. They all gazed in horror. Was this the end?

Naraku walked up behind Sango. "Why are you doing this for that lustful monk? Sacrificing yourself for someone that never loved you." Naraku sniggered as InuYasha growled.

"Lies! You're telling lies!" Sango retorted in tears.

"Lies, tsk. Haven't you ever seen the way that monk chases all the other girls and never you. You were one of the last women he asked to bear his child. He forgot about you! He'd cheat on you! He doesn't care about you." Naraku positioned Sango's head so that both her eyes gazed into Miroku's. She gazed in tears, it was almost a mirror as his emotion was the same. She whimpered as she shut her eyes and couldn't bear to look at him.

"Is this what you get pleasure from Naraku?" InuYasha bellowed in disgust. Kagome glared at him the same way.

Sango remained silent as Naraku placed his hand on the top of her head. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked upon her friends for a final time. "Everyone…I'm sorry…" Sango whispered as her head drooped down. The barrier fell. Kagome's eyes filled with tears, she slowly walked over to her expecting the worst. Miroku staggered in front of Kagome and reached Sango. He grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Sango…" He shook her gently and desperately. Sango opened her eyes; he saw the Sango he loved falling into darkness in her own eyes. "Sango…" Miroku whispered, "I'm sorry, I'll save you. I promise!"

Sango removed her sword from its sheath and sliced the flesh on Miroku's arm. Blood dripped from his arm to the floor but he refused to give up. Kagome gasped as she darted forwards to help.

"Kagome!" InuYasha called chasing her. Kagome was punched back by Sango and flew into InuYasha. "Sango." InuYasha looked up with Kagome in his arms.

Sango knocked Miroku to the ground and raised her sword into the clouded sky. He looked up at her smiling. "Sango… I'm sorry, I've treated you so unfairly, I…I…I wish I could make it up to you." Miroku's eyes shimmered as Sango's filled with tears. She was being controlled yet she was still there.

"No…" Sango whimpered. She pushed the sword forwards and sliced across his chest as she regained control of her body. She gasped as she saw what she had done. Miroku lay still; eyes closed and silent. "Houshi-sama…" Sango whimpered. She grabbed his robes and buried her head into his bloody chest. She sat up in anger, saw the pain she had also caused Kagome. "Naraku!" She hissed. Naraku sniggered and fired a blast at Miroku. "I won't let you hurt anyone anymore!" Sango cried as she jumped in the way taking in all of the attack. She fell to her knees dripping with blood.

"If I can't do it, you'll have to do my dirty work for me!" Naraku ordered as Sango made a short and helpless cry. She removed her sword from the ground and went to finish him off. Her body wasn't fully controlled. She raised the sword fighting it best she could.

"No more!" She cried as she swung the sword forwards. Kagome gasped in horror as blood splattered everywhere. She ran forwards as Sango removed the sword from her side. She collapsed onto Miroku's body. "I need you…" She whispered in despair. Miroku's eyes opened slowly. Kagome rushed to their sides – attempting to help them up.
