Sango and Miroku prepared themselves. InuYasha charged in. "Kaze no kizu!" He shouted with his attack. The monster sent an attack in return. Missing Kagome. Missing InuYasha. Missing Hotaru. It charged forwards, rushing between Sango and Miroku who were split apart by the blast.
"Sango!" Miroku cried as he struggled up. He had blood trickling down his arm. He looked upon Sango lying across the ground also coated with blood. He ran towards her.
"Miroku! Watch out! There's a barrier!" InuYasha called as he stood by his side. Kagome prepared her next arrow.
Miroku growled. "This demon set up a barrier; separating me from Sango. Nothing will separate us!" Miroku raced towards the barrier with great determination. He pushed his hand through slowly with great force. Suffering the pain of the barrier. "Sango!" He called as he began to push more of his arm through. His hand was less than half a metre away from hers. She slowly opened her eyes. He groaned pushing with more force. She reached out for his and smiled softly. He touched her hand.
"Miroku stop! At this rate you're gonna lose your arm!" InuYasha bellowed.
"I won't give up!" Miroku yelled. "Hang in there Sango."
"Houshi-sama, you do too much for me…" She dropped her hand to the floor as her eyes closed from the amount of blood she'd lost.
"Sango!" Miroku cried as he was completely repelled from the barrier and crashed into InuYasha. The demon crawled up behind Sango and captured her soul. She gasped and was left with the dead, staring eyes. Kagome gasped. Before her very eyes, this time it had happened. Sango was killed. She shook her head in denial.
Miroku stared at her body. "Sango…" He remembered how he first met her. "Sango…" He remembered their laughs and romantic moments. "No…" a tear slid down his cheek in anger and sorrow. "SANGO!" He cried. His emotions taking control. He charged towards the barrier with the last of his strength. Refusing to be repelled he pushed until the barrier shattered. InuYasha's jaw dropped to the floor.
"Where did all this come from?" InuYasha questioned as he charged forwards and performed his attack at the moment Kagome fired her arrow.
The demon roared in pain as Sango's soul returned to her body. But the eyes remained dead and she wasn't breathing. The demon vanished and everyone rushed to Sango's side. Miroku lifted her head onto his knee and closed his eyes. Kagome sighed. Hotaru crawled behind Miroku as she saw Sesshomaru returning. Miroku looked up at him but said nothing. Kagome stood and walked over to Sesshomaru. She gazed into his eyes. "Please I beg of you; please use your Tensaiga to revive Sango." Kagome pleaded, Sesshomaru smiled and wandered straight past her. Miroku hugged Sango's body against his, pulling her away from Sesshomaru.
"Do you love her so much?" Sesshomaru questioned. Miroku replied with a small nod. "Do you intend on marrying her one day?" He watched Miroku nod again. He sighed. "She'll be in good hands." Miroku raised his eyebrows. "Step aside!" Sesshomaru ordered. Miroku nodded and gently shifted Sango's body back onto the ground and stepped away. He noticed Kohaku stood behind Sesshomaru. Kagome gasped as he walked out from behind. Hotaru immediately ran over to greet him. She introduced herself and discovered who he was.
Sesshomaru spotted the demons lingering around Sango's body that no one else could see. He swung his sword across slicing them all in half. He placed his sword back in its sheath. Miroku ran over to Sango and felt the warmth of her heart. Everyone lost their sorrow and sadness and were relieved. Sango opened her eyes to find everyone staring at her. She saw Sesshomaru walking away in the distance. She sat up to also find Kohaku.
