Chapter 18: A heart breaking return

Disclaimer: I'm sorry for the long update. Damn school… I am also busy with my other story.

Sango woke up early in the morning. She stood up and walked over to the window. The birds weren't even singing yet. So basically it wasn't morning yet. She turned away from the window and stretched her arms out in the air. Her gaze fell upon the monk and she crawled over to him.

Miroku was still sleeping soundly when he heard someone approach him silently. He opened his eyes to meet Sango's.

"Eeek!" She squeaked out quietly. "Don't do that!"

Miroku smiled and sat up, still in his dark blue sleeping bag. "Good morning to you too Sango."

Sango smiled at him and kissed him tenderly. "Its not even morning yet and your up early."

Miroku grinned. "You too my love…"

Sango smiled at his sweet words. She had waited so long to hear him say those poetic words and now it had come true. Sango sat down beside Miroku and felt him snake his arm around her shoulders. Automatically she rested her head on his shoulder. She wondered if Kagome and Inuyasha were up yet since they were sleeping in a separate room.

"Do you think Kagome and Inuyasha are awake yet?" She asked Miroku.

Miroku shrugged and looked down at Sango who was staring back at him. "I doubt…but since we have the room to ourselves…"

Sango saw the grin on his face and smiled. She took her head off his comforting shoulder and sat in front of him on her knees in between his legs. She has wanted to do this with Miroku FOREVER and now was the time.

She took her hand and placed it on his soft cheek and ran her thumb against the smooth skin under her fingertips. "I have wanted to do this forever Miroku…" She whispered out.

Miroku's blue eyes went wide but he let it go in a matter of seconds and gave her his lecherous smile. "Really now?"

Sango leaned forward and kiss his soft sweet lips that made her feel like she was in heaven. She removed her hand from his cheek and placed both of her hand behind his neck and ran her tongue at the bottom of his sweet lips.

Miroku grunted and openly let her tongue slip into his mouth. He let her explore and taste him. He felt her sweetness capture him in a way he never imagined. Especially coming from Sango.

Sango came out of his mouth and breathed for air. "Wow…Miroku…you taste so good." She told him between breaths of air.

Miroku snaked his hands around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. "I only taste good for you Sango."

A smile crept up on her face making her glow. "Miroku…I wanted to know something…"

He looked at Sango curiously. "What is it?"

Sango looked into his blue eyes. "Have you ever slept with anyone else? Or been with anyone else?"

Miroku looked at Sango with shock written on his face. Should I tell her? Or shouldn't I?

He looked into Sango's eyes and saw that she wanted the truth. She looked so innocent and deserved the truth. But if he told her what would she do? What would she say? Will she leave him? Or accept it and stay with him? He had to find out…now.

"Sango the truth is…"


Kagome woke up with a stifled yawn and felt Inuyasha's arms around her waist holding her close to him. She turned her head and saw that he was still sleeping. His face looked so calm and content when he slept. She put a soft hand on his cheek and rubbed his soft skin.

Inuyasha stirred and opened his golden eyes to find Kagome's auburn eyes staring down at him. "Good morning Kagome." He yawned out.

A laugh came out of her and she hugged him. "Good morning Inuyasha. How did you sleep last night?"

Inuyasha rested his head on her shoulder and inhaled her sweet scent that drove him close to the edge of being crazy. "Since you were with me, I slept well. You?"

Kagome let him go and let herself stand up. "I slept well also."

Inuyasha looked up at her and smiled. She looked so beautiful. In fact she looked gorgeous. Why he never noticed it before he ignored it…but now he knew how he felt and how she felt for him. He stood up and held Kagome's hands in his. "Kagome…I love you so much that I think I'm getting scared…"

Kagome laughed and hugged him. "I love you too Inu."

"NOOOO HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? AND I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! YOU BASTARD! I-I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and he looked down at her. "That was Sango…" She whispered.

A loud bang was heard and they both let go of each other and saw Sango tear stained run out the door.

"SANGO!!!" Miroku yelled running out of the same room.

Inuyasha stepped in front of Miroku. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. "What the hell did you do to Sango?"

Kagome looked back at the room that Sango and Miroku ran out from and saw Shippo come out. She walked over to the sleepy Kitsune and picked him up.

"Kagome-mama what's going on so early in the morning?" Shippo asked his adoptive mother.

Kagome soothed his hair and rocked him back and forth. "I think Shippo, that were in for a lot of heartbreak…"

Kagome looked back at Inuyasha and Miroku and saw that Miroku looked hurt and he was shaking slightly. She walked over to the boys and listened to what was going on.

"I-I told S-Sango what I-I did to-to Kikyou's d-dead body…"Miroku whispered in shame.

Kagome and Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. "YOU WHAT?" They both asked.

Miroku looked down at the floor finding it VERY interesting. "You heard me…"

"How dare ye do this to my sisters body."

They all turned around and looked at Kaede.

Poor Kaede. To think that someone would do that to her sisters dead body. Miroku may be a perv but to a certain limit. Kagome thought. She walked over to Kaede and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Kaede looked at Kagome with a sad smile. "Thank you child."

Kagome nodded knowing what she meant. "I know this is all a shock but my biggest concern is Sango."

Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and took the now sleeping Shippo out of her arms and held him. "You better go check on her."

Kagome nodded in agreement. "Yes…your right. I just hope that she will be fine."

Inuyasha dipped down and kissed her lips softly. "Bring her back Kagome…God knows what she will do."

Concern flashed through Kagome's eyes. "I'm worried Inu…can you come with me? Just in case something bad happens to her and I can't bring her back."

Inuyasha looked at Kaede and gave her Shippo. "Alright." He looked back at Kagome. "I'll come with you." He grabbed her hand and started towards the door to be stopped by Miroku.

"Since when are you two together?" He asked them seriously.

The couple both looked at each other thinking. Kagome was the first to answer his question. "Around two months now I would say."

Miroku moved out of the way to let them go find his love. "Please bring her back…" He whispered to them.

Kagome put a comforting hand on his forearm before Inuyasha dragged her out of the hut.


Sango ran until her feet gave out under her. She met the cold ground with a slight thump. The pain of extreme loss weighed her down to the ground. She buried her face in her hands and let her tears stain her usually soft face. "Why…why me?" She asked herself through her sobs.

She looked up and saw the rain clouds hovering over her. Droplets started falling onto her. She ignored the rain and stood up. She clutched her clothes where he heart was hiding beneath them. A stinging pain rushed through her body when she touched her heart. "I'm hurting so much…" She closed her eyes trying to get the pain out of her system but it didn't work.


I've...got to...get out...of here. She told herself walking away from the one place that she never wanted to return to...Miroku.

"Oh great it's raining." Kagome said to herself out loud.

Inuyasha looked back and saw Kagome mumbling under her breath to herself. He looked forward and spoke. "Rain won't kill us Kagome."

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and paced to walk beside him. She leaned a bit outward to look at him. "Inuyasha what's gotten into you?"

He looked into her auburn eyes that held concern for him. Never had anyone worried about him as much as Kagome and it warmed. "Its nothing..." He simply told her leaving her gaze to look back down to the ground.

Kagome glared at him and stepped in front of him. She put her hands on his shoulders to stop him. She noticed that his eyes held something that she hadn't seen in a long time and it was sadness. Her face softened as she looked at him. "Inuyasha..."

He lifted his gaze from the ground and looked into her eyes. He noticed that she was about to cry. Had she read his thoughts? No it was impossible.

The rain suddenly started to fall harder around them. Every droplet that hit her face seemed to enchant her, made her look more radiant. Her skin looked softer with the water streaking down her face, she looked so innocent. It was so hard to believe that she was his, something so precious as her.

Quickly, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly. He took his left hand and raked his hand in her hair. How he wanted to make love to her in the rain, all by themselves. To lick all the rain from her soft skin, to make her scream out his name in ecstasy.

She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him back. She let her eyes close as she inhaled his masculine scent that she loved so much. She was so glad that she belonged to him and that knowing that he could never leave her.

Inuyasha held her like she was a precious gift that he never wanted to go, and yes she was a precious gift sent to him from heaven. He thanked God every day knowing that he sent him Kagome. "Kagome just promise me that this, what's happening to Miroku and Sango, will never happen to us."

She held him tighter trying to give him some reassurance. She never wanted to let him go at this point, even if it was raining harder she didn't care as long as Inuyasha was there with her. "I swear to you Inuyasha. Never will I betray our love."

A memory struck through his mind. Never will I betray our love... That sentence played in his mind over and over as he remembered what him and Kikyou went through. He closed his eyes and ran his fingers through Kagome's wet hair. Kikyou and I both betrayed each other...but Kagome's not Kikyou...she will never do anything to harm me.

Kagome lifted her head from his shoulder and looked into his golden orbs. How much love he held for her...when he looked at her she felt him look at her with loving eyes.

Inuyasha looked down at her and smiled. He removed his hand from her head and cupped her wet cheek in his warm hand. She looked so content to have him touch her. He dipped down and stopped 1 millimeter away from her lips. "I love you Kagome." He whispered.

With that said he closed the gap between each other and kissed her lips. Wet lips met wet lips but it didn't bother them.

Her grip on Inuyasha became a bit tighter as she begged for him to deepen their passionate kiss.

He let his tongue out to feel her lips. He felt her open her mouth to wish him inside to taste her and explore every inch of her mouth.


Sango arrived at the one place that would make her heart stop its aching...home.

She looked at the closed gate and walked over to the handle that would open it. She looked around to see if anyone was there, but no, no one was there. She took the handle and pulled it towards herself and the big wooden door opened up.

She looked around once again before slipping herself into her old village. No it wasn't her old village...it was still the same one that brought peace to her shattered heart. The only thing that brought her more sadness was the quietness of the village. Whenever she would come home from slaying a demon everyone would welcome her back. But now no one did.

She took slow paces as she explored every hut that used to be bright with the scent of food or of the wood that was lit by a fire. She walked onto the muddy path until she came upon her, Kohaku's and fathers house. She stopped dead in front of it staring up as flashes of the past flashed through her mind.

Flash back

"Sango...here's your new baby brother." Her father told her handing her the small baby.

Sango's face lit up when she saw her newborn brother. She held him carefully, cradling him. "Daddy, what's his name?"

Her father's eyes sadden at the thought. "Sango...your mother told me to name him Kohaku after her father's name before she..."

Sango looked up at her father with worry in her eyes. "Before she what daddy?"

He took a deep breath of air. He crouched down in front of his daughter and put a hand on her small shoulder. "Mommy's gone, Sango."

End of flash back

Sango flinched at the though but let it go. "That was 10 years ago…" She looked at the door and walked up the stairs to meet it. She pushed it open and walked into the cold house.


"SANGO!!! WHERE ARE YOU???" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs.

Inuyasha drooped his ears at the loud sound. "Damn Kagome, you yell loud!"

Kagome turned and looked at him. "Well we have to find Sango one day."

Inuyasha started sniffing the air but didn't catch her scent. "Still no scent."

Concern hit Kagome harder than ever. What if they never found her? What if she was dead somewhere and demons were eating her? Eeek…just the thought of it.

Kagome suddenly felt a bit lightheaded and let a couple of coughs escape her cold wet body.

Inuyasha walked beside Kagome and crouched down. "Come on…we got to go back…or else you'll catch a cold. And we can't go looking for Sango when you're sick."

Kagome climbed on and felt Inuyasha run and jump into the air. She turned her head back and looked at the view. Sango…please be alright.


Ok well that's the end of this heartbreaking chapter. I will try to update a.s.a.p but I will probably update during the holidays or after that I'm not sure. Poor Sango though…
