Chapter 3, Together again

Miroku was still unconscious. Sango didn't know what to do anymore, when suddenly she heard familiar voices from outside, calling her name.

"Kagome! Inuyasha! We're here!" She cried out and ran outside. She saw Kagome on Inuyasha's back, running towards her.

"Sango! Is everything okay?" Shouted Kagome.

"I'm alright, but Miroku is badly wounded." Told Sango when Inuyasha and Kagome arrived to her.

"What happened? Why did you leave?" Asked Inuyasha.

"We were following Kohaku... he hit Miroku with his weapon and then ran away." Answered Sango as they walked inside.

"Is Miroku going to die?" Asked Kagome, worried.

"I don't know. He has lost much blood." Answered Sango, hoping that Inuyasha and Kagome could help Miroku.

"The village is quite far away. It takes time to get a healer." Said Kagome.

"Oh man, at this rate he's going to die!" Mumbled Inuyasha.

"Yeah, if he can't hang in there until we bring the healer, he'll die." Whispered Sango

Suddenly they heard a voice saying: "There's still a way to keep him alive until he gets better."

"Old Myoga!" Said Kagome when she saw the Flee on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Well old creep, do you know any way to help Miroku?" Asked the half-demon.

"There is a way, but I'm quite sure you won't do it if I tell you." Answered Myoga.

"We'll do anything to help him! Tell us!" Ordered Sango.

"Okay then. The jewel shard could keep him alive until he gets better, but it has to be the jewel shard from the demon or whatever who wounded him." Told Myoga, and the others were quiet.

"We cannot do it." Whispered Kagome.

"Yeah, it means Kohaku's end." Agreed Inuyasha.

"Miroku is dying. If you don't do anything, he doesn't see the next sunset." Said Myoga, then jumped down.

"Hey you! Where you think you're going?" Shouted Inuyasha.

"There's always some demon trying to kill you so here's not safe." Answered Myoga and disappeared into shadows.

For a moment there was quiet, until Kagome asked: "What are we going to do now?"

"I don't know. I think we should go to the village to look for a healer." Answered Inuyasha.

"It takes very long to go there and back. We'll never make it time." Kagome mumbled.

"We have to try. For Miroku." Said Inuyasha, then turned to Sango. "You stay here. And don't even think going after Kohaku, because I know Miroku is going to be okay."

Then they left, and Sango sat next to Miroku. Kirara was asleep on her arms.

'What should I do now?' She thought. 'Which I love more: that pervert monk or my half-dead brother?'

"Kirara, I'm so lost." She whispered. Kirara opened her eyes and mewed.

"I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe I should wait, but Miroku might die. And if I want to save him, I have to kill my own brother..."

Suddenly she heard a very faint voice saying: "You... cannot do it."

"Miroku? You're awake!" She shouted and leaned nearer. It seemed it was very hard to him to speak.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "I don't want... you to kill Kohaku."

"Why? You will die!"

"Still... he's your brother. Don't stop... believing on him. He has... the whole life waiting."

Sango felt tears in her eyes. "Yes... I won't stop believing. Thank you Miroku."

Miroku managed to smile weakly, before closing his eyes again.
