AN: Hi everyone! A loud "thank you" to all the people who have reviewed my story so far! I hope you all enjoy this fourth chapter! Plus remember at the end to please review! Thank you!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but I do own this story so please, no copying! Thank you.
I've never felt this way before…this feeling is so…warm. For once it feels like nothing is my fault…
"…Sango?" asked a male voice.
"…Yes Miroku?" replied Sango releasing herself from the embrace.
"Umm…never mind. We'd better get home before night falls; I'll walk you home." replied Miroku giving Sango a hand to stand up.
On the Sidewalk
Hmm…now this is weird. I can't seem to say anything…
"…Sango, you looked beautiful today in the sunset light." Miroku said quickly to break the silence.
"Umm…uh…thanks…" replied Sango blushing.
I've never blushed before! Oh god! I must be acting so stupid right now!
"Say, umm…Miroku?" asked Sango.
"Yeah?" replied Miroku.
"About what you told me today, how you killed your parents; I don't think it was your fault as well. I mean, they loved you dearly and sacrificed themselves to save you…it wasn't your fault that they died, they chose to die for your sake…" said Sango quickly blushing more than ever.
"…Thanks for trying to comfort me but no matter what, some of those bullets that killed my parents were mine…With your situation, it really wasn't your fault that your mother died because she chose to help you find Kirara…" replied Miroku quietly.
"…You're wrong as well, It was partially my fault that my mother died because I wouldn't leave until Kirara was found and my mother wouldn't leave without me, so if she had just gone to her appointment earlier, she could have been here today!" explained Sango sadly.
"…Alright, then I guess we're both wrong…" sighed Miroku seeing that if he argued, Sango would surely get angry.
He's wrong, it was my fault…
"Alright, we're here." Announced Miroku.
"…Okay thanks…and I had a really fun time this evening…you made me feel free…a feeling which I've never felt before…but it's strange how you're the only one who has ever made me feel this way…or at least that's what I want to say to you…See you tomorrow…" waved Sango disappointingly as Miroku turned to leave.
If you had only known how you made me feel today…
Inside the house
"Hey Sango! How was it? You have to tell me everything that happened! Huh? Hey, where's Kohaku?" asked Kagome.
"Oh shit! I should've never gone to the park with that damn Miroku!" shouted Sango angrily.
" You mean you forgot to pick him up? That's not like you! You have to hurry, I'm sure the school has closed already!" shouted Kagome as Sango ran out the door.
Damn it! I should've never said yes to Miroku! I knew I had to pick up Kohaku but I still didn't say no to him! Argh! Kohaku!
At the School
"Huff-huffThe school's closed…Kohaku? Kohaku! Kohaku please answer me, I'm sorry that I'm late! Please answer! Kohaku!" shouted Sango in desperation.
"Quit shouting young lady! Now, exactly who is it that you're looking for?" asked an old lady.
"I'm sorry miss, I'm looking for my little brother…" Sango quickly said.
"Name?" asked the old lady.
"Sango, and my brother's name is Kohaku." Said Sango sadly.
"Oh! You mean that very nice young boy whom helped me with my groceries? Why, he left hours ago…oh no, I hope he's alright…" said the old lady.
"Do you know which way he went?" asked Sango desperately.
"Down the right side…good luck finding him!" shouted the old lady as Sango rushed to find Kohaku.
Oh Kohaku! I'm so sorry! I hope you forgive me! Please be close by!
On the streets
"Knocks into someone Oops! I'm very sorry, please excuse me." Rushed Sango.
"Sango? What are you doing in this part of town? It's not that safe around here…" exclaimed a tall dark figure shockingly.
Miroku! Help me!
"Oh, Miroku! You have to help me find Kohaku! Please!" said Sango out-of breath.
I feel…dizzy…woah…what's happening? I can't feel my legs…I can't see a thing…oh no! I think I'm gonna…gonna…faint…
Afterwards
"Ugh…where am I?" asked Sango
My head hurts…where am I? Where's Kohaku?
"Sango? Thank goodness you awakened! You've been out cold for five minutes. You're in a hotel." Exclaimed a male voice.
"M-Miroku? I have to get out of here and find Kohaku! Kohaku!" Sango began shouting.
"Calm down Sango! You're hallucinating! Just sit down on the bed and sleep, you need rest. I'm sure Kohaku is fine-
"No! You don't understand! I'm responsible for him! I have to find him; I need to find him! I have to get out of here!" shouted Sango as she stomped out of the room.
"Sango! No! Fine, I'll help you find him! Hey! Wait up!" shouted Miroku from far behind.
On the streets Again
Kohaku! Kohaku! I need to find you! God damn- it Kohaku! Give us a sign at least to where you are! I told you before to never go out by yourself! Argh Kohaku!
Sango ran down the sidewalks and was almost out of breath when she spotted his yellow ducky cap on the muddy ground.
"K-Kohaku's cap…" sniffed Sango as cold icy tears began to squeeze their way out.
" Sango! God Sango! You could've at least waited!" said Miroku out of breath. "Sango? A-Are you…alright?"
"SniffNo…no Miroku, I am not alright…for all I know, Kohaku is out here in the cold, lost or even worse, dead!" cried Sango angrily hugging the yellow ducky cap close to her as cold rain drops began to fall. "It's all my fault! Everything is always my fault! I'll never forgive myself if Kohaku is dead!"
Never…I'll never forgive myself! Oh Kohaku…
"…Hey! What's that?" asked Miroku pointing to something in a dark alley. Sango immediately looked up and ran into the alley, not realizing the danger she had just put herself in.
"Sango! Wait up! Stop!" shouted Miroku once again far behind.
In the Dark Alley
Kohaku…Kohaku…please, please! Be in this alley! Huh? Gasp W-who's there?
"…Hello…are you looking for…this little boy? He wandered into my alley hours ago and I just couldn't help myself…" snickered a strange man as he began to close in on Sango. Sango would have been strong enough to beat this guy but right now she just wasn't concentrated enough so she got pinned to the wall.
Oh God...someone please, help me! I-I can't move! This guys getting really close to me! Help!
"So honey…where should I start? Bottom or top?" asked the strange man as he leaned close to her face; by now, their bodies were a centimeter apart.
"G-Get away from me!" screamed Sango as she trashed around. The man began to unbutton her shirt and she squealed. Suddenly, the weight of the man was lighter as Sango realized he was just punched. She quickly took the chance and ran over to the beat up young boy.
Kohaku! No! You can't be dead!
"Kohaku! Please! Wake up! Please forgive me for being so late! Please, just please wake up!" cried Sango in the pouring rain. Suddenly, she looked behind her to see what had happened to that strange man and saw Miroku beating him up. After Miroku had finished, Sango quickly ran over to him, wrapped her arms around his body, and began to cry crazily.
I can't control myself! I can't stop crying…this was all-my fault!
"Is…that Kohaku?" gulped Miroku, afraid that by mentioning the name, Sango would go hysterical.
"…Yes…" quietly replied Sango. Miroku slowly walked over to the young beat up boy and picked him up. "We're going back to your house…"
At the House
"Sango! Where's…oh and Miroku! W-what happened to Kohaku?" screamed Kagome.
"Don't worry Kagome, Kohaku's not dead. He just needs to go to the hospital right away…" said Miroku sadly as he set Kohaku on the couch. Kagome just blankly looked at the dripping wet friends before her and then just slowly walked into the kitchen. Suddenly, Inuyasha walked out of Kagome's bedroom and stared at the dripping wet couple. They stared back with their mouth's open and Miroku was just about to speak when Kagome walked back in and gasped.
"Inuyasha! I told you not to come out! Don't you ever listen?" snapped Kagome.
"Shut up Kagome! I didn't know they were back…" snapped Inuyasha.
"K-Kagome…how could you?" asked Sango very hurt.
Why Kagome? I thought I could trust you…
"I-I know I should've told you but-
"Just shut up…I had a rough day…" said Sango unexpectedly. Oh no! What did I just say! There was a moment of silence for Sango had just told Kagome to be quiet and Kagome's mouth dropped.
"No Sango, I won't shut up. Okay admit it, I was really sad about the whole incident with Koga and sure I love him and all but I just couldn't leave Inuyasha like that. So after you left me, I called Inuyasha to come over. We had some dinner and then had some…some fun." Confessed Kagome.
"…Kagome, just please, shut up!" yelled Sango irritated.
Oh no! Gasp! I just told Kagome to shut up again!
"Okay, Sango we've been friends since, since ever and if you're about to end it just because of a silly thing like tonight, then I guess-
"I guess I can't trust you anymore…" Stated Sango tiringly.
I can't trust you…I can't trust anyone, no matter how much I really want to I just can't…I'm sorry Kagome…
"What? You're not going to trust me anymore over some silly situation? I can't believe you Sango!" cried Kagome as she ran into her room and slammed the door shut.
"…Sango, don't you think that was a little too rushed? I mean you didn't even talk about it…" said Miroku cautiously.
You have no idea…
"…you don't know what I've been through…I don't trust anyone anyway, I've never trusted anyone." Said Sango quietly stroking Kohaku's hair.
"…So no matter how hard I try, you'll never trust me?" asked Miroku quietly.
What kind of question…was that?
"…I guess…not…I'm sorry…It's just…that I'm scared to trust…wow…I've never told anyone that before…" said Sango quietly.
I'm sorry Miroku…
"…No hope at all huh? How can I earn your trust?" asked Miroku.
"…I don't know…maybe it'll just happen one day…" replied Sango.
"Okay, then I'll wait and I won't give up. No matter how long it takes, I won't give up. Sango…I-
What was he going to say?
"Alright Sango! I can't stand not talking to you! Please forgive me!" shouted Kagome as she walked out the door with Inuyasha following from behind.
"…I'll forgive you…but I can't trust you…I'm sorry…we're still best friends right?" asked Sango with hope.
Please say yes…I know that I can't trust you just yet…but I don't want to end our friendship..
"…fine but remember, as I heard Miroku say I'm also not going to give up. I'm gonna earn your trust back someday…" said Kagome determined.
"…Sango?" asked a small voice.
