Chapter 8 – A Nightmare?
Inuyasha quickly helped Shippo grab Sango out of the water and so did Kirara.
"Just a little more!" Kagome shouted as she worryingly watched both of them getting Sango out.
Miroku who kept on panicking remembered to get Sango's clothes and so he ran off to look for it. As soon as he got it he went back and arrived just in time.
Sango who's still unconscious was already in Kirara's back. Good thing Kagome was there to dress her up.
"Wait! I have to seal the rock! It's the one that's making the spring tainted," Miroku said as he started to chant something and quickly finished sealing it.
The moment they arrived back in the village, Keade ran towards them knowing what happened to Sango and still seeing her unconscious.
"She's not breathing…she swallowed too much water," Kaede said looking at them.
'mouth-to-mouth!' Kagome remembered what she learned from their swimming class and quickly sat beside Sango and opened her mouth and hold her nose and chin up. Then she did a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Miroku shouted getting a bit nerve-racking, "What do you think you're doing!"
Inuyasha who was also shocked gave her a disgusted look. But it was gone when Sango coughed and spitted water out from her mouth. Then because of all the exhaustion she couldn't help to stay awake.
"Wow Kagome! You're amazing!" Shippo clapped and Kagome gave a faint smile.
"I learned it from class…it's a mouth-to-mouth rescus-something…I don't really know what it's called…I only remembered the mouth-to-mouth part."
"Interesting…but you should've taught me before and let me do it!" Miroku insisted.
" Feh" was all Inuyasha could say.
Kagome remembered that both of them still weren't in talking terms. She looked at him but as she looked at him his eyes were angry and there she saw Kikyo. She couldn't stand to look. She looked down and then unwanted scenes of Kikyo and Inuyasha flashed in her mind. She shook her head and then she felt tears went down from her eyes. 'No! I can't cry in here! Not right now! He can't see me like this!'
She suddenly ran out of the hut as fast as she could. She didn't know where to go but again remembered the Sacred Tree, Goshinboku and hurriedly ran there. She stopped when suddenly she felt something painful. Then did she remember that she was still running barefoot. "Ouch! Ouch!" She decided to walk slowly towards the tree and when she arrived, she gave her right foot a slight massage and thought of how stupid she looked in front of Inuyasha when she cried. 'I just couldn't stand it…I'm not supposed to meddle with their relationship! I can't compete with her! I just can't! He loves her and that's what matters right? Right!'
Back in the hut
"What happened to her?" Miroku asked Shippo but he just gave him a shrug then looked at Inuyasha who in turn wasn't looking at him but up the roof with his arms folded.
"I'm going out," Inuyasha said as if he didn't care one bit of what just happened. Kaede went out too and followed Shippo who went along with her.
Sango who's still sleeping gave a slight yawn and opened her eyes seeing only Miroku. Miroku who saw her wake up sat next right to her with certainty. His eyes were full of concern and stared at her tenderly.
"Miroku…where" before she could say anything else, Miroku instantly hugged her.
"I was so worried…" he whispered to her as hegave her a tighter yet gentleembrace but then he lets go as her lips touched his. He kissed back and knew that he loved her right from the very first time he laid his eyes on her.
But then a voice suddenly broke them off, "Ah..ugh….huh? I- I didn't mean to!" Shippo ran out of the hut shouting and feeling embarrassed.
Sango laughed a bit and Miroku smiled at her. "Hmm…I'm going out," Sango said making Miroku a bit confused but she gave him a kiss before she went out weakly.
Miroku stopped his daydreaming and hurried out towards Sango, "Hey! You can't just go outside! You still need to rest!"
"I have to talk to Kagome first"
"Oh ok….but! But! Can I have another one before you go?" Miroku asked and waited for Sango to give him a kiss but then Sango just came pass him and replied, "That will have to wait."
"Aww…," he slowly went back and tried to look for Shippo. Sango on the other hand came by Inuyasha sitting up in the tree, "Inuyasha! Do you know where Kagome went?" Inuyasha didn't answer and seeing Inuyasha like that made her feel stupid and so she threw a stone at him. "What did you do that for!"
"Just because you're angry at her for not talking to you doesn't mean you won't answer me back!"
"I don't know okay!"
"Hmph," Sango got annoyed and went looking for Kagome herself even thought she still felt a bit dizzy. Then as she was walking towards a huge tree, she saw her crying. She walked straight to her and sat down right next to her as if something wasn't going on at all.
"Sango!" Kagome wiped her tears as she looked at her.
"It's the dream isn't it?"
Kagome looked down.
"I wouldn't even dare to remember it…but my family is just gone and I couldn't do anything to make them come back except Kohaku and I know it's hard but…"
"It's just hard to face a nightmare that could just happen even…..right now…"
