Chapter 5: The Spring Incident
The week, for Sango and Miroku, was going smoothly. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Nothing, until the 5th night.
Sango was bathing in the spring and Miroku was at the campsite. While Sango was washing up, a huge rat demon came and started attacking her. She screamed.
"It's probably just a monkey." Miroku said to himself. "I don't want to die yet, and especially at Sango's hands."
Sango then screamed, "MIROKU! HELP ME!"
Miroku stood up quickly. "I'M COMING SANGO!" he yelled. He got a blanket and his staff. He ran as fast as he could then he stopped right before he could see the spring. 'I might regret this.' He gulped. Then he ran to the spring. He threw the blanket to Sango and looked up at the sky saying, "Sango! Wrap yourself up in the blanket and go behind the trees! I'll take care of this demon!"
Sango was speechless. 'He didn't even try anything perverted like look at me or something. He even brought me a blanket.' She thought. She then wrapped herself up, picked up her clothes, then went behind the trees.
Miroku then looked at the demon and said, "I'll take care of you, demon." Then he took off the rosary on his right hand and said, "WIND TUNNEL!" The demon got sucked up into Miroku's hand.
Sango came out from behind the tree, with her clothes on now.
"Are you alright, Sango?" Miroku asked soothingly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sango replied. Then she absentmindedly went to Miroku and hugged him. "I was actually scared, Miroku. Thank you for saving my life." Sango said tiredly.
"You're welcome." Miroku said. He embraced her back, not in a perverted way, but in a supportive way.
They walked back to the camp. Both of them were about to go to sleep, but then Sango asked Miroku, "Can I talk to you Miroku?"
Miroku sat up from the sleeping bag. "What is it Sango?" he said.
