"We should bury him," said Sango as Kagome helped her get up.
"I wish Inuyasha was here, he would be able to dig a hole in 10 seconds flat!" chuckled Kagome hoping to cheer up her friend.
"Yeah..." said Sango smiling lightly as she made her way over to Miroku's body.
With the help of Kaede, they buried Miroku and sealed his grave. Sango then held up Miroku's staff.
"I will miss you greatly Miroku-sama," she said as she dropped the staff on his grave. She then started to sob.
"MIROKU! OH MIROKU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? NO! Noohohoho." she sobbed as she ran into Kaede's hut. Kagome looked at the retreating Sango and felt sorrow well up in her chest.
"Sango!" Kagome yelled running after her. She caught up with Sango, who was kneeling on the ground sobbing softly.
"Why him? Why couldn't have been me?" Sango sobbed. Kagome put her arms around Sango and lightly rubbed her back.
"Shhhhhh." said Kagome comfortingly. "There, there let's go to sleep." she said, letting go of Sango and starting to get out her sleeping bag. Just then Shippou came running into the hut.
"Hey you gu- what's wrong Sango?" said Shippou (AN: Shippou was deep in the forest picking berries. He ate so many that the berry smell concealed Kagura's scent)
"M-M-Miroku..." stuttered Sango then bursting out into tears.
"Miroku has died," said a voice from behind Shippou.
"Oh. You're back." said Kagome comfortingly.
"Feh. I just needed to blow of steam," said Inuyasha crossing his legs and sitting down next to Kagome.
"We I'm gunna go to bed, you should too Sango." said Kagome.
"Ok." she said softly climbing into her sleeping bag.
"Come Kilala" she called. Kilala then jumped into the sleeping bag with Sango. Shippou then crawled in with Kagome.
"Kagome-Chan?"
"Nani?"
"Will we ever see Miroku-sama again?"
"I-I don't know Shippou-Chan. I really don't know"
