Chapter 3: Saving Sango

Everything seemed to slow down, time almost seemed to stop. and Her thoughts turned to...Miroku? she wondered why she thought about him in a time like this. every thought that ran threw her head was about her times with Miroku. and her last thing that ran through her mind was Miroku smiling down at her.

When no blow came to Sango, she opened her eyes and gasped to see Miroku standing in front of her, holding back the Youkai with his shakujou. His face was full of concentration and determination, he was starting to sweat now, and his arms were shaking from the effort of holding it back.

"H-houshi?" yelled Sango, mostly out of shock from the houshi actually being there to save her.

Miroku's concentration broke and he looked over his shoulder at Sango, relief clear in his eyes. But his relief was short lived when the Youkai knocked away his shakujou and slashed his chest.

Sango felt a sharp pain in her chest as she watched the monk fall. the Youkai raised its claws to finish off Miroku, but Sango beat him to it.

she had jumped to her feet and ran and got her Hiraikotsu and slew the demon.

"houshi.."

she ran over to his side and collapsed next to him. she could see that the blood was already seeping through the outer layer of his clothes.

She quickly removed the apron that was around her waist and covered the wound with it, she put pressure on it to stop the bleeding.

Miroku's face was pale, his eyes were open, but unfocused and glazed over. For just one moment; Sango was truly afraid that he was dead.

But then he started to cough up some blood and blinked. Sango gently lifted his up so he wouldn't choke. Once his lungs were clear she lowered him back down on to her lap.

He gave her a weak smile "have I died and gone to heaven? is that why I have been blessed to lay in your lap?"
Sango shook her head slightly "Houshi, I don't think anything you could do would let you do that in Heaven"
Miroku laughed weakly "I guess your right, but it was worth a try. Besides now your not afraid anymore."

Sango blinked "what are you talking about?"
"You were afraid I was dead, am I right?"
"No! I wasn't afraid"

-Miss Unafraid-

His smile grew "ok"

Sango just glared at him, then she said something that caused Miroku to choke.

"Now take off your clothes."

"Now now Sango, I don't think it is the right time.."

Sango blushed "Oh shut up. How can I dress your wounds if I cant get to them?"

His clothes had been pulled down to about his stomach and Sango sat behind him and started to wrap a piece of cloth she had with her around his wounds.

"You know Sango, If you wanted to see me with my shirt off, all you had to do was ask."

She pulled the cloth tighter to make up for that comment.
"ow ow, sorry Lady Sango"

After a few minuets Miroku spoke up again.

"Sango, may I ask you a question?"

"No I will not bear your children"

Miroku started laughing "No that wasn't what I was going to ask."

"Oh then what?"

"Why did you leave the clearing alone?"
Her hands paused and just rested on his back

"I needed some fresh air so I could think better"

"About what?"

"Kagome and Inuyasha"

"Oh yes, those two... may I ask what about them?"

She paused.
"About why cant that be me..." she whispered so softly that she thought he wouldn't be able to hear her.

But he did.
She couldn't see the pain and sorrow that passed over his face and filled his eyes. But the pain was for Sango.

he tried to calm his voice as he spoke
"One day Sango, that will be you."

"what?"

Miroku turned his head back so he was looking at Sango, She looked confused, and now she was blushing under his gaze.
'She is so beautiful' he thought

Sango was confused by what the houshi had said and she didn't understand why he was looking at her like that. She never noticed before, but his violet eyes seemed to be glowing when they were looking at her.

The moment was lost though when she felt his hand on her backside

"HENTIA!" she slapped him.

And at that moment Inuyasha and Kagome ran in, ready for battle.

"Are you alright Sango? Kagome asked

"I'm fine"

"So monk, you seem to be getting scratched up a lot lately" Inuyasha said while eyeing the broken blade on the ground and the remains of a demon, and the smell of Miroku's blood in the air.

That's what had caught his attention back at camp.
He would never admit it to anyone but he had been worried about Miroku.

"yes yes I realize that." Miroku waved his hand to shrug it off, as he struggled to his feet, leaning heavily on his shakujou.

Sango still had not gotten over what had just happened. Had he said all that just so she would leave herself open for his groping?
Anger consumed her for some reason and she pushed past everyone and headed to the camp.

-Miss out of my way-

Her thought turned to Kohaku again 'when we run into Kohaku again, I will free him from Naraku's control. He doesn't deserve to suffer. I will take his life and then my own'

The second her thoughts finished the image of Miroku smiling at her flashed in her mind. She pushed that image away.
No one would stand in her way, not even the Houshi.

-Miss don't let a man interfere-

she didn't know what it was she felt when she was around the houshi, but she felt happy when he was around. Maybe she would ask Kagome about this feeling.

Miroku had told her several times to call him by his real name, but she didn't want to yet, when the time was right, she would.

Miroku watched as Sango walked away from him.

She had once again left the clearing to walk around and think, and like always he followed.
he had watched as she sat down by the water.

whatever she was thinking about was so strong she hadn't noticed the demon sneak up on her. And out of all honest, he almost didn't either.

The moon light was reflecting off the water and hit her.

she had looked like a goddess.

His heart had stopped when he saw the demon knock away her blade and how she just sat there awaiting death.

His first instinct was to protect His Sango.
No matter what she said or did, She was his.
