Chapter 7

Hold me Tightly

Darkness. I was floating in darkness. All around me. That's all I knew for the time being. At least, that was until the pain hit. Someone holding me close, tears falling upon my cheeks, my eyes opening slowly, staring into violet orbs.

"Sango!" my eyes opened quickly as Miroku's voice brought me to attention. "Please…be…okay!" he sobbed, keeping his hand placed on the bloody wound on my chest, heedless of a bloody wound of his own located on his right shoulder. "please be alright…" he whispered even more quietly.

"M…miroku?" I whispered, my voice breathy from pain.

His eyes widened and a small smile came onto his face, "You're alright…" he whispered. He seemed incapable of saying anything else.

I stayed silent before whispering, "You…saved me?" he nodded once, and then carefully picked me up as if I was something fragile, something that could break like a china doll. It was a very good feeling.

"The killer went away…" I said, looking around, before my eyes suddenly teared up, "Chichue…" I suddenly burst into tears, and I can remember Miroku's arms tightening around me.

"I'll catch him." He whispered to me. "I'll make him suffer what he did to you…" the last part was so quietly whispered I could barely hear it over the sound of my sobs.

I looked up at him and then suddenly took in the full extent of his features. Akimura had never looked so handsome, his eyes still damp from the tears he had shed. The tears he had shed for me.

I smiled. "So…beautiful…" I whispered, raising my hand slowly to caress his cheek while Akimura did his best to carry me out of the kitchen and take me to his house, mindless of the blood following both of us.

I remember falling asleep sometime later, and then awaking to find myself in a white room, and a strange object pumping blood into me. I let out a fearful whimper. "M…miroku?" I whispered, looking around, and then I screamed his name once more.

Somebody then ran in, and held me to the bed while they gave me a shot that immediately calmed me down.

"Who's she calling for?" I remember one of the doctors saying, and the other doctor merely shrugged.

Time passed by quickly, with no sign of Akimura. I remember faintly one argument with my friends and the doctor.

"So, how is Sango-chan doing?" I remember Kagome asking.

"Not very well…you see…she's lost more then half of her blood supply…"

"What…?" I could hear Inuyasha's voice, disbelief and anger raging through it.

"There…there's no way. Sango-chan can't be…"

"I'm very sorry Higurashi-san, Takahashi-san we don't think…"

"Shut up! She'll make it! She's Sango-chan! Don't you dare say she won't…" Kagome was in tears now, and Inuyasha growing angrier by the second.

"Listen you pompous bastard!" Inuyasha snarled. "That girl is our friend and you will do every damn thing you can to save her, you got that! So listen to me, you can go and piss on your damned medical papers for all that I care! Sango will make it and I don't give a damn on how long it takes!" a door being slammed shut, the sound of angry foot steps. My falling back asleep again.

"Sango…?" I barely heard the sound of my name being called. "I wish…I could have protected you…" I kept my eyes shut, trying my best to remember this person, even though the fog in my mind from all the assorted painkillers I had taken seemed to dull my senses.

"I…didn't make it time, but I managed to slug the bastard…" Miroku's voice seemed almost regretful. "The police…they…took you away from me…I tried…to hold on…to you…but…" a deep sigh followed by silence.

"I...didn't try…hard enough..." the huge amount of guilt in his voice brought tears into my eyes.

"Don't beat yourself up about it." I whispered, glaring at him darkly, a small grin coming onto my face as he jumped about a foot in the air from surprise.

"You were supposed to be asleep! I could've sworn you were asleep!" the sound of childish indignation made me laugh, but that was immediately stopped by a sharp pain. Note to self: laughing is fun and all, but don't ever do it when you've been blasted through by a gun.

Akimura winced, "Do you feel okay?" he said for what sounded like the three hundredth time to me. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm fine!" I scowled.

"But the doctors…"

"The doctors can screw themselves." I mumbled darkly. Akimura grinned at that one.

"Well, Sango-chan! It seems you're back to normal already!" Miroku gave a laugh. And I grinned along with him.

My time in the hospital passed fairly quickly and it turns out folks, that Kohaku was over at a friend's while the whole murder incident happened; thank Kami-sama for that!

I received tons of flowers and my room was almost always packed during the day, it turns out the doctors were wrong on the thought that I wouldn't make it, and I can still hear Kagome's laughing at them and yelling, "In your face!"

The memories of those happy days still bring tears of joy to my eyes, but somehow, I knew that the happiness would not last for long. Someone out there wanted me dead. I was going to do all I could to find out.

End of Chapter 7

A/N: Sorry, this chapters kind of short but I'm not feeling very well right now…and worst of all, the stupid medicine I took isn't working at all… well, chapter 8 should be coming soon. A big thank you to all my reviewers! Oh, and no offence to any doctors who took offence in this chapter…

Preview of Next Chapter

I laughed along with my friends, but then stopped, my eyes growing dilated as I stared at the somber looking police man. Nodding to my friends I ran up to him.

With great urgency he whispered something to me. I shook my head…it couldn't be true. Somberly I walked up to my friends and whispered.

"Its Kohaku he's been…"
