Everyone was silent. The only sound you could hear were the sobs of Sango.
"Why? Why did it have to be Miroku? I never- Oh my Gosh! I never told him! Miroku, I know that you can't hear me right now but I love you- I love you so much. Please- please God don't take him away." cried Sango tears sliding down her cheeks. Inuyasha, just then, walked into the village.
"What the hell happened here?" asked Inuyasha walking up beside Kagome.. Suddenly he smelt salt coming from her.
"Kagome? Why are you crying? What happened? Please stop crying. You know I hate it" said Inuyasha walking in front of Kagome and tilting her head up with his fingers.
"Inuyasha! Miroku- he…" Kagome, however, did not get to finish her sentence because the heavy scent of Miroku's blood reached his nose. Inuyasha whipped around only to see a sobbing Sango cradling a lifeless corpse that once was his best friend.
"No…" started Inuyasha as he slowly walked over to Miroku. He gently pried Sango off of Miroku then he took Miroku by his shoulders and shook him ferociously.
"Wake up dammit!" Inuyasha cried shaking Miroku.
"Stop it!" cried Sango prying Inuyasha off of Miroku. She cradled Miroku's head and began to sob again. Inuyasha slowly got up and turned to face Kagome.
"You… you fucking bitch…. Do you know that because you sat me so many fucking times all I could smell was dirt! And because you were fucking jumping on my fucking back you actually hurt it! And don't me that yeah right look! Just because I'm hanyou doesn't mean you can treat me like some pathetic dog! And did you know that because I was dirt clogged I couldn't smell Kagura! AND DID YOU FUCKING KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU FUCKING HURT ME I COULD BARELY WALK LET ALONE GET HERE IN TIME TO SAVE MY BEST FUCKING FRIEND! YOU ARE A SELFISH, PATHETIC BITCH!" Inuyasha yelled each sentence getting closer and closer to Kagome. By the end of his outburst he was hovering over Kagome curled up body. Inuyasha just looked down at her whimpering form and raised his fist, ready to punch her back. However, a hand wrapped around his fist and pulled it back. Inuyasha turned around as was face to face with a tear stained Sango.
"Inuyasha STOP! LOOK AT YOURSELF! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO KAGOME!" screamed Sango. Inuyasha paused and look down at Kagome. Her knees were pulled into her chest and her arms were over her head in a defensive position. Inuyasha heavily smelt salt, and could hear Kagome crying very loudly.
"I'm so sorry..." said Inuyasha weakly. "What, what have I done?" he said kneeling down beside Kagome. He reached out and lightly touched Kagome's back. She flinched at his touched and curled up into an even tighter ball. Inuyasha reached out again and tilted Kagome's head up. Inuyasha practically started to cry. Here was his Kagome, the one he had sworn to protect, looking at him with pure fear in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Kagome… it's just my best friend has just died at the hands of Naraku. What do you think I'm doing? Jumping and dancing about? I'm just very upset. Please Kagome… please forgive me," said Inuyasha softly. He bowed his head down and did something that he never though he would do, especially in front of another person, he cried. Now, it wasn't a bawling sort of cry, it was more of little soft whimpers. Kagome was a bit taken back, but she knew that this was a big step for him, so despite how angry she was at him right now, she cradled his head and started to cry with him.
"I forgive you," she said softly. After a few moments Inuyasha got up.
"I-I- gotta go." He said jumping away into the forest. Kagome stared blankly at the spot Inuyasha used to be, then after a few moments, got up and walked over to Sango.
"I'm so sorry," said Kagome in tears.
"I loved him- I really did. Kagome, thank you so much for being here for me you are a true friend. I'll miss you," said Sango weakly. Kagome was alitle confused at the last statement but just brushed it aside.
" We all loved Miroku, he will be greatly missed" said Kagome while giving Sango a hug. Naraku-what are you up to? Why Miroku? And I hope you're ok Inuyasha. Kagome thought.
