I'm back… man I'm tired! Chapter 15, Between life and death It was small hours and everyone else was asleep. Sango hadn't slept well because of the worry about Miroku. She lied on the sofa near his bed and tried to sleep at least bit more, before the others would awake. Then she heard a faint moan and sat up. At first she thought that Miroku was awakening, but then she realized that he had a nightmare. He was sweating and it seemed that he had hard pains. "Miroku." She whispered and walked beside him. "Everything is okay. I'm here." She grabbed his hand and he seemed to relax a bit, but not much. Sango felt tears in her eyes. What if he wasn't going to survive? She shook hear head, trying to stop thinking that he was dying. Inuyasha and Kagome would awake soon, and she knew she had to sleep at least a bit. The sun was about to rise, and the golden light shone from the window. Sango leant her head onto his chest and whispered: "Please God… don't let Miroku die." Then she fell asleep, her head on his chest, and neither Inuyasha nor Kagome wake her up when they came to see Miroku. At the breakfast the healer told that Miroku's condition was the same than yesterday. He had nightmares though, but the healer couldn't say had the transfusion helped or not. The others were quiet. The fear inside them started to grow again. Then Kagome said: "I'm going to go back home to bring some medicine to Miroku." "That's a good idea." Agreed Tsuki. "Maybe it could help him to get better." "That depends on what kind of medicine you're going to bring." Said the healer. "Something what alleviates pain." Kagome nodded. "Can I borrow Kirara?" "Of course you can." Promised Sango. "I think Inuyasha should go with you." "What? Why should I go with her?" Inuyasha cried out. "Because if something happens to her on the road to the well, no-one can save her and bring the medicine to Miroku." Answered Sango, and Inuyasha mumbled something. "I think it's a good idea." Said Tsuki. "You should go." "Okay, okay!" Huffed Inuyasha, fatalistically. "Let's go then." So Kagome and Inuyasha left with Kirara, leaving Sango alone with her thoughts. She walked in the village and on the bank, looking the demon's island with hatred. She didn't know how long it would take to fly to the well and come back, and she wasn't sure could Miroku stand the pain all that time. 'That bastard demon…' She thought while standing on the bank. 'I swear I will kill him!' Sango returned to the mansion at the dawn and found Tsuki with the healer from the library, again. They were talking quietly, and the fire in the fireplace was about to fade. "How's Miroku?" Sango asked and walked to them. "He's balancing between life and death. I cannot be sure before tomorrow, when I can see the effects of transfusion." Sango sighed. "Right… I just hope he doesn't give up before Inuyasha and Kagome come back." "Yeah… If they won't, Miroku doesn't have many chances. The pain may take over." Said Tsuki. Sango turned towards the healer. "If this continues, and if Inuyasha and Kagome won't make it in time, how much time he has left?" The healer thought a moment. "If the effects are good, he may survive. But if they aren't… he dies in two or three days." Sango hide her shock and nodded. Then she walked away, to Miroku's room, leaving Tsuki and healer to the quiet library. Miroku was very pale and he was breathing in fits and starts. Sango sat to the edge of his bead and buried her face to her hands. Then she cried, until the sun went down.

'He doesn't have much time left.' She thought. 'I won't forgive myself if he dies!'
