Wow, I never thought I'd get so
good reviews… Thanks to everyone! And by the way, to be honest: I
myself don't really know what happens if the transfusion fails, so…
Chapter
14, What to do now?
The
room was dark and silent. There was one bookcase, sofa and in front
of the window was a bed. Miroku was lying on the bed, slings around
his stomach covered in blood and painful look on his face. Sango
walked towards him, feeling tears in her eyes.
"Miroku…" She whispered and kneeled next to him. "Are you
conscious?"
"Sango..?"
"Are
you in pain?" She asked quietly. "This is my entire fault…"
"Don't
blame yourself… it was the demon who did this."
"But
he used me to hurt you!" She cried and bowed her head onto his
chest.
"The
demons are all the same…"
"He
lied to me… he said that he could bring Kohaku back, I couldn't
believe him…" Mumbled Sango, shaking because of the crying.
Miroku took her hand to his own.
"Promise me something Sango… and whatever happens, keep your
promise." Whispered Miroku, eyes closed and only half conscious.
"I
promise… what is it?" Asked Sango.
"Whatever happens to me, you have to live… live it up and happy."
"I…
I cannot live happy without you!" She cried. "And stop talking
like you'd be sure that you're going to die!"
"I
know Sango… I know that I cannot survive." He mumbled. "But
stop thinking like that'd be your fault because it isn't. You
brought so much happiness in my life… and you've already made a
painful decision to save me. Now it was my turn… I'm not afraid
of death, because I knew that someday the Wind Tunnel would do the
same. It's better to die saving the woman who's in love with…"
He
grimaced in pain and for a moment Sango feared that he'd lost
consciousness again. Then she made up her mind and nodded.
"I
understand you, but now it's your turn to make a promise to me."
She said.
"Anything."
"Do
not die. I will find a way to help you and then we can kill the demon
together." She said.
"Sango…
I can't…"
Inuyasha, Kagome, Tsuki and the healer came to the room and Miroku
hadn't a chance to continue. They looked very hesitant, and Sango
stood up looking at them.
"What?"
She asked.
"Well…"
Started Kagome. "We know a way to help him… but it may be as
deadly choice as this."
Sango
frowned. "What do you mean?"
"We
could wait for him to recover, but that means he may not stay alive
very long." Told the healer. "Or, we could do transfusion, but if
the donator's blood isn't the same type than his blood, he dies
for sure."
Everyone was quiet. Sango thought about the chances. Again she didn't
know what to do, and that made her nervous. Then Miroku broke the
silence.
"I
don't mind dying, when the time comes… but before, I'd want to
fight beside you guys… at least once more." He managed to say,
before moaning in pain and losing consciousness.
"Miroku!" Sango cried out, then she made her decision.
"Let's
do that transfusion. No matter what, if he suffers like this he'll
die for sure! He has better chances if we do it." She said, and the
others agreed silently.
"From
who?" Asked the healer, and the others wanted Sango to do it. She
was ready for everything what could save Miroku's life.
"I
did it once, why won't I do it again?" She mumbled, most to
herself, when the healer started to do transfusion. Inuyasha and
Kagome were eating something with Tsuki, and Sango would join them
after the transfusion.
'I
don't know what's going to reflect after this. But I won't let
you die Miroku!' Thought Sango.
To Moonyme: I've been thinking about your suggestion, and it would be good! I decided to do own site for my stories but I need time… I'm not very good making web pages:) Anyway thanks a lot!
To Inueo: He, sorry but I don't like him very much so I didn't put him in this story.
