Chapter Seven: Goddaughter
Since Sango had broken up with me I had not gone back to see her. With school and my not being able to see her I went into a state of depression. I had even gone so far as to consider suicide and the only thing that was keeping me from completing the act, or should I say people, were Inuyasha, Amaya, and the chance of being able to see Sango one last time.
It wasn't until Christmas Day when I was looking out the window at my grandfather's house that I saw her again. She was standing outside as if waiting for me to come out looking over. I turned to my mother and said, "I'll be right back." As I hurried to put my shoes on and grab my trench coat. In my hurry to get down to Sango I slid down the ice cover steps. I ran over to her noticing that she seemed to have developed a bit of a belly, but it didn't matter to me. I stopped a few feet away from her, just looking at her small form, she hadn't gained weight, well she did it would have been normal she was pregnant.
"Sango…" but that was all I managed to get out as I looked into her beautiful eyes that used to look so alive now seemed so drained.
"Kagome," she said her voice quiet and distant "I'm sorry I yelled at you last time we saw each other. I had to. I'm so sorry…" but that was all she was able to say for even she seemed to have lost her thought. We hugged each other sobbing into each others arm as Sango managed to find her voice again, "I'm sorry. It was Naraku…he made me. He found out about us…I don't know how…maybe he saw us together…maybe he was reading my journal. But he knows. He made me do it. He has been making me go to church every Sunday with him and my mom. He even makes me go to youth groups, support groups for people who are trying to become straight, and he has the priest talking to me almost everyday. I would have called you but, Naraku wouldn't let me use the phone. He knew I would be calling you…" and she was lost in her sobs again.
"Its okay, Sango. I understand. You did what you had to." I said trying to calm her as she continued to cry, I stroked her soft hair.
"He burned…the Book of Shadow, that you gave me, and the rose along with it. I saved the necklace though." she whispered.
"Sh…its okay. It doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is that we saw each other again. Don't worry. We'll find a way out of this." the only sound now was the soft cries coming from Sango, "So…I will assume that Miroku is the father?"
She looked up at me, "How did you know?"
I smiled down at her, "How could I not? How far along are you?"
"Miroku is the father and I'm about three and a half months along. Is it really that obvious?" she asked me a little worried.
"No, not too obvious, but I can tell you already have a bit of a belly." I said placing my hand gently on her belly, "Does Naraku know?"
"Unfortunately yes." she said.
"He didn't go to hard on you did he?" I asked her as she looked at the ground.
"No, not too hard. He was kind of happy actually. Happy to learn that I at least like guys enough to be able to sleep with one. I guess he was thinking it would be easier for the priest to brain wash me then." she said with the most sad smile I had ever seen.
I smiled back at her a little, "You still talk to Miroku right?"
"Yes. Naraku makes sure I do that. He thinks it will help me on the path of 'righteousness' as he calls it. Besides he thinks the baby should know its father. He is wants us to get married right now, but obviously us being underage our parents have to approve of it and Miroku's parents think he should go to college first so he can support us." Sango said with a little bit more happier note.
I smiled at her sudden happiness, "Do you want to marry him?"
She blushed, "Yes…I do. I love him so much."
"I'm sure one day you two will be happy together and you will be able to get away from this place." I said wrapping my arms around her again."
That is when we heard the faint screams from inside Sango's house 'Sango! Sango where are you! Its time for dinner! Sango!' It was Naraku's deep cold voice calling for his only daughter.
"You better go. I don't want him to get too angry at you." I said in a hurried whisper.
We kissed each other goodbye quickly fearing this would be the last time we saw each other again in a long time.
She turned when she got close to the house and said, "I'll have Miroku call you when its time." she said putting her hand on her belly.
I nodded and she turned her back on me to go inside the house.

It was finally near the end of the school year and I knew Sango was due in June. I had received several phone calls from Miroku since December, just telling me how she was and replaying messages between us. Until four o'clock on May twenty-first I received a phone call from Miroku that Sango had gone into labor early.
I wanted to go down to se her, but decided it was best if I didn't. Naraku would be furious if I showed up and as soon as Sango got home he would probably take it out on her.
So I waited and waited and waited until at exactly 3:46 a.m. on May twenty-second I got another call. It was Miroku again, Sango had just given birth to a beautiful baby girl. The next morning a very tired looking Miroku came over and took me to the hospital. Miroku made sure Sango's parent were no where insight before taking me to see the baby. The name Sango had given to the baby was Rowan. Miroku smiled at the sight of his daughter and then turned to me leading me to Sango.
I hugged Sango and we chatted for awhile before Sango asked, "So, what do you think of your goddaughter?"
"My…my goddaughter…" I muttered looking shocked.
Miroku nodded and Sango said, "Yes. Miroku and I talked about it and we want you to be the godmother."
I smiled and accepted my new role of godmother while holding my beautiful goddaughter in my arms.
