Chapter 6, On the road again
"Sango... what's happened?"
Sango was quiet few seconds, until answered: "Inuyasha and Kagome are making medicine to you."
"You look so pale... is something happened?" He managed to ask half conscious.
Sango bit her lip. Then she decided to tell him.
"Kohaku is dead. I killed him." She said.
"What!"
"I had to... I am sorry but he was just a puppet under Naraku's control and if I wouldn't have killed him you could have died!" She told and covered her face with her hands.
"Oh Sango... You have gone through so much." Mumbled Miroku, smiling a bit pitying, and Sango rose her head.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You lost your family and village... then your brother turned against you... and now you killed him to save me. You wouldn't have to." He managed to answer.
Sango smiled. "But I wanted to. I really wanted to save you..."
"Thank you Sango... you saved my life." Said Miroku, then closed his eyes again. Sango lowered her head onto Miroku's chest and fell asleep, until Inuyasha and Kagome came back.
Kagome smiled. "Poor Sango. She's had a hard day."
"Yeah. Let's give this medicine to Miroku." Said Inuyasha and poured the liquid into Miroku's mouth.
"I'm hungry." Said Kagome.
"Maybe we should look for something to eat. Miroku is surely hungry when he awakes." Decided Inuyasha, and the two left the hut again.
It took almost a week for Miroku to recover, and Sango was with him almost every day. Kagome and Inuyasha traveled between the hut and the village, searching food.
Finally they were ready to continue their trip again. Miroku had some pains after he had removed the jewel shard from his body, but they still continued traveling.
One night they were in the mountains. It was night, moon and stars were shining. The others slept, but Miroku was awake. He stood on a shelf of a rock and looked the forests and lakes further. Then he heard someone walking towards him, and when he turned he saw Sango.
"Why are you awake?" He asked.
"I was worried about you... you still had pains after we left." She answered.
"I am okay, thanks to you." He said, smiling.
"True, but because of me you almost died." She reminded. Then she asked quietly: "Why did you save me?"
"I didn't want you to die by your brothers hands. You had to live and help the others." He answered.
"But you were close to die!"
"It doesn't matter... I will die anyway. I don't have much time left with my Wind Tunnel."
Sango grabbed Miroku's hand and said: "I'm sure we can find a way to cure your curse. And we will kill that Naraku, I swear!"
Miroku smiled. "I really hope so. But the most important thing is that everything is okay... and we're together."
Sango smiled too, blushing a bit. Miroku lowered his head, until he and Sango fell into a romantic kiss under the shining moon.
"I love you Miroku..." She whispered.
"I love you too, Sango." Said Miroku.
After that night their endless trip continued, with full of dangers and happiness.
