Chapter 3, Realizing the truth
Sango slowly stood up and turned towards the demon, her eyed full of rage. She threw her boomerang towards it with all her strength yelling: "Take this!"
Inuyasha had to jump aside when the boomerang flew towards the demon, cutting it into two pieces. The others just stared.
"Why did you do that for?" Inuyasha snapped, but then noticed Sango's hateful eyes. He also noticed that she was standing alone.
"Sango, what's happened?" Asked Kagome. "Where's Miroku?"
"He… he fell…" Sango managed to answer, and started to cry uncontrollably again.
"No… no way." Kagome gasped.
"Keh! He wouldn't die so easily!" Inuyasha snapped. "I'll go and find him!"
And after saying that he jumped downwards. Kagome and Shippou ran to Sango, who was still crying. Kirara could just watch them.
"Don't worry. Inuyasha will find him." Kagome tried to comfort.
"You… you sure?" Sango asked, her eyes filled by tears.
"Yeah." Kagome answered after a second. "C'mon. Let's go back to the village and rest."
"Well… okay then." Sango answered after hesitating a moment.
They three climbed onto Kirara's back and she flew back to the village. The villagers were calm already and came to thank them.
"We don't want thanks right now!" Sango snapped.
The villagers looked a bit confused when Sango, Shippou, Kagome and Kirara flew away, to the tavern where they had been earlier. There they went to eat something, but both of the girls didn't say a word. Shippou didn't understand properly what was going on.
Then Inuyasha came back. Sango and Kagome stood up, but then they noticed his sad face. Sango sat back down and buried her face to her hands.
"You didn't find him." Kagome said quietly.
"No I didn't." Inuyasha answered. "I'm sorry."
Kagome sat down too, and Inuyasha sat next to her. Sango was crying and neither Kagome could hold her tears. Even Inuyasha was so sad that almost cried.
"Is Miroku... dead?" Shippou asked with small voice.
"He... he went to a long journey." Kagome tried, but Shippou wasn't stupid.
"Don't try to lie. I'm not that small that I couldn't understand when somebody dies." The fox demon said. Tears started to run down his cheeks and Kagome took him onto her arms.
"This cannot be true." Kagome mumbled.
Inuyasha put his hand onto her shoulder and said: "He was a good companion."
Sango didn't say anything. She had stopped crying, but now she just sat there and was quiet. Kagome didn't know what to say to her.
"I shouldn't have yelled to him." Sango mumbled then. Inuyasha and Kagome turned to look at her, but Shippou seemed to cry himself asleep.
"Don't blame yourself about that." Said Kagome, trying to cheer up Sango.
"I'd never thought this would happen. If only I hadn't been arguing with him before..."
Then tears started to fall down her cheeks again. She stood up and ran to their room, crying. Inuyasha and Kagome sat there in silence.
Finally they went to their room too. Sango was lying on her bed, her face against a pillow. She seemed to be asleep, so Inuyasha and Kagome decided to go to sleep too.
Kagome put Shippou on his bed and looked out of the window. It was still few hours until the sunrise. Kagome went to her own bed then.
"Goodnight." She whispered.
"Goodnight..." Inuyasha mumbled back, half asleep.
Kagome fell asleep and saw a dream about the day the four had decided to travel together.
