Alright. Since the summary doesn't quite assure you, I will say it again. THIS IS A SANGOxMIROKU FIC! There will be no other pairings (not really anyway). They are the main focus so stop worrying. Kagura and Miroku will have no affectionate bonds EVER. However, Sango will be with Leon a lot more often but I think you guys don't mind all about that. FYI, Leon is based off of no other character in InuYasha or any other show/movie/game/ NOTHING. He is my own if you haven't figured that out already which is kinda dumb no offence. So now you know. This chapter will be more of an Inu/Kag cancellation. It should be the last chapter they will be present in. Happy reading.

Sango rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He was engaged too? Well, that would explain why he was so quick on trying to get her back. Maybe he wanted to know if she loved him before he got married. She would never know.

She stood up. At least she knew she would hear good news from Kagome, that she was grateful for.

Sango started blankly at her best friend in front of her. "What?" She had to make sure he was hearing correctly.

Kagome just sighed. "I'm sorry Sango. I mean, you know I love him. It happened so quickly. It just shows that he loves me just as much by asking me to come with him. I'll visit! And call al the time and-"

Sango shook her head and smiled sadly. "It's alright Kagome. I understand. But I'll miss you so much…"

Kagome smiled and hugged her sister like friend tightly. She was going to miss Japan and everyone there. But she was sure that she and InuYasha would have a good life in America.

"And I'll definitely be here for your wedding. I can still help you plan it over the phone."

Sango nodded and let her go. "When do you leave?"

"In a week. I know it's very short notice…" Kagome mumbled and scratched the back of her head.

At that moment, the bell for class rang and they both flew off to their classes.

Miroku stood in the hotel room, continuously banging his head against the wall while Kouga watched as it were entertainment.

He had just gotten finished telling his partner the story of what had happened in Sango's dorm and he thought it pretty humorous. He still couldn't believe he told her that he was engaged to Kagura, OF ALL PEOPLE! She was their bosses' secretary, and a mean, sarcastic bitch at that. And the little addition of saying she was pregnant with his child, HILARIOUS! What a sugar coating. Kouga stood from his comfortable seat and stopped Miroku from causing the neighboring people to yell at them about the noise. "How are you planning to get Kagura to agree with this little lie of yours?"

"I don't know! It just popped out! I was jealous of her so I wanted to hit her back with something she couldn't top off. And now, I regret it!" Miroku threw his hands in the air. "Dear Kami help me…"

Kouga smirked. "How ironic." Miroku threw him a deadly glare. "You wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't leave her in the first place ya moron."

He frowned. "I was forced to leave her Kouga. I didn't have a choice in the matter."

Kouga blinked. "Forced by who?"

Miroku sighed. "I was in this business before I even met Sango. Well, my family was anyway, starting with my grandfather.

"Sango sort of changed me over the years we were together. I cared for her more than I cared for my own life even though I had only known her for four years. I was going to propose to her at her high-school graduation party, I had the ring ready and everything. And soon after that was settled, I'd leave the business to have a family with her but Naraku found out about it and he wasn't ready to let me leave. The morning before her graduation he called me to his office to have a discussion. I thought it was the perfect time to let him know I was retiring, but instead, he threatened me."

Miroku looked at his watch and noticed he was late. Sighing, he turned and was startled by a woman's face. "Glad you decided to show up. Naraku is not happy with you." Kagura said, a small smirk playing her lips.

"What did I do now?" He said rather bored. Kagura just shook her head. "He wants to speak with you."

"Good, I need to tell him something as well." He smiled as he was lead into the hidden building.

"He said that if I even thought about leaving the business, he would brutally kill Sango right before my eyes. I couldn't put her in that position so, I gave in. We left that night; Sango never knew anything about where I was or what had happened."

Kouga gave his partner a sympathetic look. "I see." He stated coolly, his eyes glancing at the door. "Maybe you could-"

"No." Miroku interrupted. "No more bright ideas. I'm not putting her in that position again. I'm not going to try to run or anything. If I do, Naraku will not hesitate to do something crucial." He rubbed his forehead, getting frustrated.

Kouga sighed. "So that's how it's going to be? You know, maybe you should go to her wedding, watch it all happen."

Miroku blinked and looked at Kouga with a questionable look. "What?"

"Watch her get married to some other guy. That should make you feel a whole lot better."

He frowned. "Kouga, I don't have any control over this situation. I have no choice but to stand back at watch her have a shot at a better life. Besides, I'm sure the other guy will make her happier than I ever could."

"Fine, suit yourself."

"Ugh." With that, Miroku went back to banging his head against the wall.

Sango moved gracefully yet rough and fast as she continuously punched the punching bag in front of her. She was both angry and depressed. First Miroku had to come back then tell her he was engaged and now her best friend had to leave her. Sure, there was always the phone and the occasional visits but this was not the road she wanted her life to take.

One

She began to punch the bag harder. Why was all this happening? Why couldn't this all be a dream? A sudden rush of bad luck was occurring and she didn't know the cause. It all started with those damn memories. They had to start coming back after Leon proposed. Why?

Two

And then there was that strange dream about her wedding. All those guests wearing dark masks and the sound of the constant whispering of her name. Then there was that dreadful echo of screams. All she could ask was why. Was this punishment? Was it a sign?

Three

"WHY!" Sango yelled as she punched the equipment hard, making it break off the harness. She panted as she watched it hit the floor with a loud smacking sound. Through her eyes, everything was happening in slow motion until she heard the sound of clapping behind her.

Her eyes widened as she whirled around to see a rather strange man with long black hair and haunting eyes. She couldn't help but get the feeling of turmoil within her stomach while she observed him. "I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone else was in here…"

His smirk made her feel even more uncomfortable. Who was this man? "Nothing of it. I really do think you should take it easy on the bag though." He took a step closer to her only to stop after hearing Leon enter and walk past him to Sango.

"Hey."

"Oh, hey. I was just finishing up." She glanced at the stranger as he walked out the door of the dojo. What did he want?

Leon only smiled and kissed his fiancé. "Well, good news. I've got no business for the next week and I was thinking of taking you out to dinner tonight."

Sango smiled back at him. "Okay, that's fine. But I can't go anywhere tomorrow; I've got to spend time with Kagome."

"Ah yes, she's going with InuYasha right?"

Sango nodded. "Wait, how did you know?"

"I talk to InuYasha a lot hun." He kissed her forehead before walking to her gym bags and picking them up for her. Wrapping his extra arm around her waist, he walked her out the door, oblivious to the evil pair of eyes watching the two from outside the dojo.

Naraku glared at the two as he watched them drive away. "Don't worry girl. All your problems will be solved soon enough…" He turned and began walking to his new destination. His plan would soon be put into action after this next act of destruction. He was headed for the home of Sango's healthy father and brother.

Dun, dun, dun….. Ya know what's a pain in the ass? -Wink, wink- I can't end it here or you will all complain that this chapter is too short. So I guess I have to continue it…. -Sigh- Oh darn.

Sango screamed loudly in everlasting pain as Miroku stood beside her, trying to calm her form. He told her to keep breathing so as to get the pain done and over with but she continues to scream as tears began to flow down her flushed face. The doctors in the room were telling her the same yet the pain caused her to almost give up…

Until it came. Sango stopped her screaming and instead reduced it to small whimpers while Miroku left her side quickly. A baby began to cry.

Miroku jumped up out of bed, hitting his head on the wall light while doing so. "Ow!" He rubbed his red spot and looked around the room. That was an interesting dream…

The cell phone at Kouga's bedside began to ring but Kouga was no where in sight so he stood and picked up the phone answering it.

"Boo."

Miroku sighed. "What is it Naraku?"

Even though Miroku couldn't see his boos, he could tell he was smirking. "I think I'll let Kouga handle the recent assignment I've given you two. You will have a new one."

"Okay…who is it sir?" Miroku mumbled, not liking where it was going already. He had never gotten cancelled off of an assignment for another so that meant that he had done something wrong or Naraku wanted to torture someone today.

"You are to assassinate his fiancé."

Miroku blinked. His fiancé? "Oh yes, he is to be married soon. I see no point in killing the nice girl, she has no control over the company." His voice showed confusion. Miroku didn't like to kill people he didn't need to. He could hear Naraku's laughing on the other end on the line.

"You will see the reason soon enough. But for now, just keep visiting her." After that, he hung up.

Miroku put the phone down and began his pondering. What was that about? He was confused but within a few minutes, all the confusion washed away into plain conclusion. His eyes widened in realization. (Ha, I used a lot of big words in that one small semi-paragraph. I laugh. It kinda rhymes. HA!) He knew about his visit with Sango and now, he wanted her to die. But wait…that meant that…

"Sango's engaged to Leon Koshiwa…" He thought out loud. Sitting himself down, he rested his head in his hands. Why was all this happening? He should have never bumped into her. Now he was in the same situation he was six years ago before he left. Why was Kami doing this to him?

He wouldn't do it. Never. He had to run from this one. His cover was blown and now he was going to have to kill the one he cared for so dearly. He concluded that he needed to tell her….about everything and soon. Maybe she would flee with him…

He stood up and got dressed in cleaner clothes before running out the door. He hoped Sango was home right now….Oh he could hope.

Sango awoke in the arms of her lover, totally nude and under the fluffy covers of his large bed. Last night was a great night. Dinner was fantastic and then they both headed home for some rather interesting love making. The only flaw was that during that time, Sango could only think of Miroku and came close to saying his name instead of Leon's. But she caught herself.

Sango sighed sleepily and looked up to see Leon's angelic sleeping face. She frowned. She knew this was a problem. She couldn't be in love with two different people, it just didn't happen. She had to choose. And yes, she knew that one guy would go heartbroken and that was what she didn't like about the situation. None of this fair.

Leon opened his eyes to see Sango's eyes tracing over his features. "Morning, love."

Sango plastered a smile on her face. "Morning."

He sat up and stretched his arms out with a yawn. "Would you like to go somewhere today?"

Sango shook her head. "I have plans with Kagome love, remember?"

He nodded and lay back down next to her, nuzzling his nose into her bare neck. "Then I'll see you tonight?"

"Yes, that I'm sure of." Sango kissed the top of his head. It was plain as day that she should choose to be with Leon. Look how happy he made her. But she really knew that was beside the point. She loved Miroku and believed they were meant for each other. She had only learned to love Leon.

"Well then, I think I'll pay dad a visit."

Sango nodded as he got out of bed and got dressed as did Sango. This decision was going to be lot harder than she thought it would be.

Miroku ran up the steps to Sango's dorm room quickly. When he was in front of the door, he didn't hesitate the smallest bit to knock. But who came to the door wasn't Sango but yet, another girl.

She looked like an American by her features. Her eyes were a green and her hair was a light brown. She was rather pretty. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Yes?"

Miroku looked at the room number. "Uh, Is this where Sango resides?"

"Yep. But she's not here right now, she's with Leon." She stated. He couldn't help but notice she had a British sort of accent.

"Oh…I see.." His face fell. How was he to speak with her then? H needed to talk to her NOW. "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm her roommate, Beth." She smiled at him. "I don't know when Sango will be back but you're welcome to stay as long as you like."

Miroku raised an eyebrow. She was hitting on him.

'I knew no woman can resist my charm.'

'Shut up and find Sango you oaf.'

"Uh, I'm afraid I can't. I need to speak with Sango right away so-"

"Nonsense! I'm sure she'll be home soon!" With that she pulled him in the room by his shirt collar. "Um well, I guess I could stay but only for a little while." He replied, scratching the back of his head.

Beth looked him up and down. "Sango and I aren't really the best of friends. What about you? Are you a brother or something?"

Miroku almost choked. "Actually a close friend."

"Well I've never seen you before…" She began to circle him like a hungry vulture which made him fairly uncomfortable not only because she was a stranger to him but also because she was quite a cute woman and he was afraid what he would end up doing with her. His body kept trying to defy his mind while it screamed at him to obey.

'Resist all temptation…RESIST ALL TEMPTATION!'

'Idiot.'

While Beth was behind him she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on him, making Miroku faintly blush. "So, what's your name?"

"Miroku, but listen, I-" He was cut off once again by the annoying woman.

"Ah, what a sexy name."

By this point, he was annoyed. He removed her arms off him and turned to look at her. "Okay, I gotta go, buh bye." He walked to the door just to have it open and knock him in the face. He fell to the floor, holding his nose. "Ow…"

Sango blinked and looked at Miroku on the floor. "Oops..Sorry." She helped him up slowly. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you." His voice was changed because of the fact he was holding onto his bent nose. Sango glanced at her loathed roommate. "Oh, alright. Let's go get some coffee and we'll talk…" She mumbled in an almost angered way.

Beth watched as Sango pulled Miroku out the door. "Damn woman."

Okay, technically, Kohaku is supposed to be well in his teen years, about maybe 18-ish. But in this story, I'm going to keep him young. Just note that he is…eh…about 12, I think that's the same age he is in teh show.

Kohaku sat in the dark room, trying his best not to shed tears. His father was dead and he had been kidnapped by a psycho lunatic. This…Naraku person wanted to get rid of his sister and he hadn't a clue why. Everything was happening so quickly. He was sure he was going to die in this place.

The door opened and Kohaku had to cover his eyes from the intense light that was spilled into the room from the sun in the outside world. It had only been a day since he had been taken and thrown into the hollow place yet he felt like it had been years.

Naraku stood in the doorway and slammed it shut after inviting himself in. He looked at the broken boy and smirked. "I'm guessing you'd like to know why you're here. Forgive me for the rude intrusion into your home yesterday; I didn't think you would come willingly so I had to take different action."

Kohaku looked into those evil eyes of his kidnapper as his face formed into a scowl. He dare not say anything but he could, however, hint to this stranger that he already loathed him. "You killed my father." He stated clearly.

Naraku nodded. "Yes, and?" He laughed. "He had no place in my plans so I got rid of him."

That laugh was so sickening. Kohaku closed his eyes, trying to suppress the upcoming tears. He couldn't let his enemy see how weak he was even though he was young. That had been something Sango had told him before, when she was teaching him how to fight.

He opened them again and looked at his captor. Maybe he could take him. No, but it was worth a try. He jumped up from the floor and ran at him, throwing a punch but completely missing the man's form for he had dodged it easily.

"You are a violent little creature aren't you..." He pulled out a gun and placed it right against the child's forehead. Kohaku's eyes widened. "I could be just as violent. Accept in a cleaner sense." He bragged.

Kohaku 's face fell. "Now, Go back to you're corner. I wouldn't want to kill the bait before it's used."

"What do you mean? I'm bait?"

Naraku laughed again. "Oh yes. I normally don't use bait that often but your sister is a special case. She won't only be killed, but killed slowly."

Kohaku felt a storm of rage build up in his body and then it suddenly melted away as the boy smirked. This did not go unnoticed by Naraku. He looked at the boy, confused.

"My sister is strong. You can't take her even with your shiny gun."

Naraku chuckled. "This, I know. I've seen her training. But that is why I'd like to make her suffer before she dies. Breaking such a strong woman down is more than I could ever want. You will see."

He pushed Kohaku back to his place forcefully and left the room. "Please be safe Sango…"

Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
