Chapter 14

"Kagome is supposed to be in here?" He looked around the tower and found no windows or anything he could go through to get in there. "Aren't all towers supposed to have windows? With bars on them or something?"

"This is reality, dog turd. Get it through your head. RE-AL-IT-Y."

"Oh shut up." Koga was on the ground making sure no one came by and saw them. He saw people in the distance. He only knew one of them but the other two, he only thought he recognized them.

"Hey Inutrasha, are those people over there people you know?" He whispered up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned his head and followed Koga's gaze. He breathed in a sharp breath of air and then dropped down to the ground.

"Damnit. What are they doing here?!" Inuyasha growled angrily. "This is just what we need while trying to save Kagome. More enemies!" Inuyasha panicked in a low voice barely above a whisper. He didn't want anyone to here him.

"So you do know those guys?" Inuyasha looked at Koga dumbly.

"You know Koga, you're a lot dumber then I thought." Inuyasha walked in the other direction. Koga followed him.

"Maybe we can't fight here but I so will beat you ass for that."

"Sure later, go ahead and try." Inuyasha looked around there surroundings and saw there were two doors that could lead to the tower. "But right now, we have to save Kagome and kill Naraku." He reminded him. Koga looked at the doors and nodded.

"I'll take the one on the left." Koga informed.

"Then I have the one on the right." Inuyasha confirmed.

They then went their separate ways up the stairs and disappeared.

"Sango, how long are you going to stay mad at me?" Miroku asked whining a little.

"As long as your going to be the lecherous monk you are." She answered.

"Hey, come on, that's not fair. Can't you be a little more reasonable?" He begged.

"Hm..." Sango stopped walking, placed her hand on her chin and tilted her head to the side as if she were thinking. She then shot him down. "No."

"Awwwww..... What was all that thinking about then?"

"What thinking? Its called building up false hope." She kept walking but stopped when she felt her foot get caught. When she pulled it back out of the floor, there were rocks and boulders that started to fall on her. She screamed and covered her face. The rocks and boulders pummeled her down to a certain death.

"Kikyo, where are Inuyasha and the others?" Kagome asked suddenly.

"Inuyasha and I'm sure that that wolf are trying to save you from this tower right now. Kaede and that little kitsune child must be looking out for danger, which would make the monk and the demon slayer looking for Naraku." Kikyo resolved.

Haku was yet again sleeping except on his mother's lap this time.

"Hm... Don't you think it's taking them a while to get here?" She asked worried.

"Don't worry Kagome. They way they both love you, they wouldn't think about letting the other get here before them, they'll be here even if they go through hell. They'll be here." Kikyo explained. Kagome was still a little worried but hearing Kikyo say that, it made her feel a little better. It was as if they were already sisters.

Kagome thought about all her friends and family back at home and closed her eyes. She slowly drifted off into another dream.

"Damn it, I can't see anything in this damn place." Inuyasha muttered. He had to wait several times for his eyes to readjust to the light and then move on. He was moving so slow. He was sure that even if Koga's wasn't the right pathway, he would still get there before him. He was tired of it. He had to hurry up. He unsheathed his Tetsusaiga and light gathered all around him. He wasn't expecting for it to light up the place but since it had, he rejected his other thought and moved forward.

Inuyasha stepped on a stone that moved, he bent down to look at it and heard a noise. He stood back up and looked at the walls. There were, what seemed like, hundreds of arrows lining each wall that wasn't there before. He looked back down at the stone in the stair.

"So, he's got this place booby trapped huh? This must be the right way then!" With that thought he ran up the stairs quickly but carefully, just in case of more traps.

"Sango? Sango?!" It was Miroku's voice. Sango didn't move. Her eyes fluttered and she opened them slowly. Surprisingly, no rubble got in her eyes but she still didn't open them all the way. "Sango?" Miroku's worried voice controlled her.

"I'm fine Miroku. I don't think I have any wounds that are too serious." She answered him.

"I didn't think you did either." He replied. She finally noticed that his voice was coming from right beside her, in the rubble. Her eyes shot open and looked to her left. Yep, he was sitting there keeping a barrier over them so they wouldn't get crushed.

"Miroku? What are you doing in here?" She asked.

"I couldn't let you die by yourself in this cursed place." He answered.

Sango smiled but her smile faded when she saw Miroku's arm.

"Oh my God! Miroku, your arm!" She exclaimed. She sat up straight and moved towards him to examine it. There was a deep gash at his shoulder. There was blood everywhere on him. It soaked up some of his outfit and was even going down his arm to the tip of the fingers. Even with all that blood lost, it was still bleeding.

"Its nothing serious. All that matters is your safety."

"But Miroku, your safety matters too." She started to cry.

"Sango..."

"I'm so sorry Miroku! I'm so sorry." She curled up against him and laid her head on his lap. "Its all my fault. All my fault." She repeated.

"Sango, look at me." He said tenderly. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "Its not your fault, I'm the one who went after you, its a sort of code I have." He brushed a single tear that had fallen down her cheek. "I never let the one I love, die as long as I'm around." He finished. Her eyes widened and she cried more. Without knowing what she was doing, she wrapped her arms around him. She didn't want to let go. She cried on his hurt shoulder and he held her close to him, not wanting to let go.
