Chapter 5, Full moon night

Miroku stood in the doorway, looking at his sleeping friends. Inuyasha, who had always been his friend; Shippou, who he had been telling things; Kagome, who had always been the worrying one; and Sango, the girl who he had long liked specially.

A small tear appeared onto his eye. He wiped it away and turned around, whispering: "I'm sorry guys… this is for your own good. Farewell."

And then he walked down the stairs, through the silent village and towards the forest. He had to go as far as he could before the moon would rise properly. It would happen right in the midnight.

"Houshi-sama!" He suddenly heard a voice calling. Sango ran after him.

"Sango… why on Earth you're here?" He asked when she stopped before him.

"I… was worried about you… and followed you." She panted. "Why're you leaving?"

"I… I can't tell you." he answered, looking away. "Go back, for your own good."

"No way!" She snapped, making him confused. "I'm not going anywhere till you tell me what's wrong!"

"Nothing. But I have… to go to a long journey." He answered, hiding his right hand.

Sango noticed that and pulled his hand back. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the bite marks, and then she raised her tearful eyes towards him.

"You… the demons…"

He sighed and hugged her, holding her tightly. She was almost shaking in her cry. She still held his right hand, clenching and never wanting to let go.

"I'm sorry about not telling you earlier. I didn't want you to know…" He started.

"Oh Houshi-sama!" She cried. "I don't want to lose you!"

"I understand Sango… I ask you a favor." He said and looked at her eyes.

She nodded. "Anything."

"I don't want to hurt anyone. When I change, you have to kill me."

Miroku's words made her froze in shock. She would never do that! He looked at her with serious eyes, making the tears run down her cheeks.

"I can't…"

"You have to. I may hurt you, or the others. And I don't want it to happen."

"But I… we can live with that… I can protect the others…"

Miroku smiled, gently and longingly for her. Then he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, and she didn't resist. She cried, cried and kissed him back.

"Houshi-sama…"

"I love you Sango. That's why I want you to live for me." He whispered.

"I… I love you too… and I want to be with you forever." She said, crying still.

"Draw your sword. It's going to happen soon."

"I won't! You got that because you protected me back there and this is my entire fault! I refuse killing you even if it costs my own life!" She yelled.

A shooting pain hit his right hand. He moaned in pain, holding his hand and falling onto his knees. She shocked and kneeled next to him, very worried. And afraid.

"Sango… I beg you… end this." He managed to say.

"N-no…" She cried. "I-I can't… this is just too…"

She couldn't control her crying anymore and hugged him, holding so tight like she would never be with him like that anymore. He was in great pains.

"Don't change Houshi-sama." She cried. "Stay with me, stay as what you are now."

"Sango, I… you must run…" He said.

"No! I want to be with you to the very end!" She whispered.

"For your own good Sango, please…"

"I won't! Please Houshi-sama… Don't do this to me. I don't want to… You have to stay with me." She cried. "Stay with me!"

Then the pain took over. "Aaaaaah!" Miroku yelled in pain, but Sango didn't let him go.

Next chappy will be the last one. Will Sango kill Miroku?
