The one that Lurked in the Shadow in her mind….Sango's Tears…Miruko's move


"Wait for me! Please don't leave me here again" A young demon slyer song out into the emptiness of her surroundings.

Her pounding feet came back to a halt, her soft brown eyes flew from tree too tree, even though as she squinted through the mist of silver fog, she lost the person she was following. The grayness around her became even denser and sent cold chills down her spin, she new she wasn't alone. She continued her walk, the only sound she heard were her soft feet crushing the leaves below her and the horsed breathing paste from being out of breath.

I don't understand, where could he possible gotten too? Sango whispered to her self with an edge of frustration, while rubbing her arms were Sango got deep painful gashes, and dried blood stuck to her outfit. She received these attacks from the encounter earlier, of the person she is following. She felt cold inside and lonely. She new there wasn't anyone with her, and her Hiraikotsu((Boom-a-rang)) was nowhere to be see- since her last battle with him. A voice in the back of her head kept saying the same thing…."Why are you trying to follow him, he is lost inside himself"…Brushing the thought and concentrating on something else she continued in a jog as her long black pony tail swished back and forth trailing behind her.

She finally found a clearing. The fog was thinner here, but the sky looked just as unwelcoming as the area surrounding her. The long sleekly gray clouds moved across the dark blue sky, which passed over the early stars that has just came out to look apon the world until dawn, but the clouds seemed to be pulled by ropes, which made Sango very uneasy, as she shifted her weight side to side not knowing if she should turn back or not. There was very little grass in the area, and the dirt was as solid as the wall too an old cliff. In the middle of the clearing where the moon gloomed so sad down on, there was a stomp, an old looking stomp, the bark looked liked it was a victim of a long ago fire, memories rushed into Sango's head, and tears filled her eyes. As her eyes lingered from the stomp to the shadow standing on the stomp she knew she wasn't really alone, even though her heart told her she is alone.

"So, you've followed me, why have you come?" The cold voice responded, he's eyes burned in his listeners eyes, Sango glanced away, but returned her gaze in full attention

"Why won't you listen to me? You are betraying everyone you once loved" As Sango pleaded, her hands also did the talking, swaying in the warm spring night air, but to Sango, nothing was warm, everything was just as cold as the bottom of the ocean, and just like the bottom of the ocean, she was at the bottom of the ocean, just lying there, slowly dieing as the water filled her lungs up, unable to breathe.

"I am not who you say I am, I've never meet you" He returned with a glass breaking scream, he moved to the edge of the stomp, one hand lingered over the handle of his sword, the other hand pointed out at Sango in disgrace

"You have to listen to me…please" Sango moved a few strides forward but stopped abruptly, as she saw her target move with great speed and heard the clang of chains fly right at her. Sango, luckily was just as quick and dodged them, but in doing so she slipped on smooth stones and fell to the ground. Tears trickled from her eyes as her head made contact with the ground. As she rolled over, her hand passed the top of her head, as she felt the welcoming of blood glide over her hand, she slid her hand to the back of her head where she felt throbs pulsing in her head, soon followed was a headache that Sango moaned about for a few moments before she looked up into the boys face, and couldn't believe what was going to happen as he lurked over her He's going to kill me…..

"No…don't do it again!" Sango's voice cracked like shrieking birds fighting with one another, her body was unable to move, it was so hard for her to talk, everything started to spin, she felt sick to her stomach Miruko! Help! She yelled into her head, hoping he'd hear her…some how

"Sorry…I don't know you…."

Sango couldn't believe what she just heard; She felt her heart give way. Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall. As she reached up to touch the boy, she realized there was a sharp pain un-indenturing by her stomach, which traveled up to the side of her rip cage. Her eyes searched for what happened, and feel on the curved sword, crimson blood dripped of it.

"How could you? Don't you know who I am?" Sango waited for a response, but she received no words, just more sharp pains as her snow white skin was being pierced away, by the blade of someone she once loved and cared for deeply.

"Good Bye…….Stranger" The boy raised up his curved sword for the last blow. His eyes lingered over the limp body under him. Blood was spread like water all over the dirt, as it oozed out of the girls cuts.

"NOO!" Sango's eyes became blurry, and her scream echoed through out the night, that was the worse thing he had ever said to her, and she knew it would be the last. She thrashed herself on the ground waiting….waiting for the next blow

"SANGO!" a masculine voice returned the cries

"No, don't kill me…please you have to understand…you and I are….No!" Sango rolled back and forth, but something gripped her hands, she never head the masculine voice say her name

"Quick, Shippo, get a bucket of water…quickly" Miruko said with a stern voice, as he held down Sango, who was having a Horrible dream it seemed like to him, his face showed a look of worry

Shippo ran out passed Inuyasha who was gazing down at the situation as Sango thrashed back and forth and tried to slap Miruko across the face, but he was to strong for her as he held her down by her wrists. As shippo moved his young fox demon feet as quickly as he can, he came back minutes later with a bucket filled with some water

"Shippo just dump it on her, when I say so" Miruko said, he was slowly loosing his nerves as the girl became more violent, and squirmed even more

"A-a-are you sure Miruko?" Shippo's voice sounded unsure as he took a step back from Sango

"Oh just give it to me" Inuyasha grasp the bucket of water and threw every last drop on her. The water made a direct hit on Sango's face, and as it did so she screamed, and to Shippo, Miruko, and Inuyasha, even Kaede could hear her, even though they where miles away from kikyou's younger sister

Sango fell limp in her sleep, in her dream everything became royal black. Moments later she felt something cool on her wrist, holding her down, but she felt them loosening on her and finally leave her wrist free. Her ears became more aware of her surroundings as she heard a long deep sigh leave someone.

"She's alright" Miruko said, sitting up a bit straighter, he closed his eyes and took another deep breath, as he opened his eyes, his eyes meet someone familiar, he smiled at Sango, so sat up and launched herself into Miruko's grasp

Shippo and Inuyasha jumped back by Sango's actions and where mortally horrified by her surprised hug

"That's strange you think that Sango would slap Miruko for touching her" Shippo announced to inuyasha who was in an even more puzzle state then Shippo was in

Inuyasha returned the statement by agreeing with shippo, but there was sadness behind Inuyasha's eyes. His memories traced over Kikyou, but he couldn't see kikyou, all he could see was Kagome. He saw her warm smile, he loving laugh, and there conversations they had. Inuyasha wanted his Kagome, but another part of him wanted kikyou and he'd kill Kagome just to get Kikyou back. He'd do anything for her, because he loved kikyou. But he knew he also loved Kagome.

"Inuyasha….are you alright?" Shippo asked, as he studied the half-demon's facial expressions which quickly snapped back into his usually argument self.

"Yes I'm all right you little fur ball" Inuyasha snapped at shippo who responded that he was just asking.

As the two of them quarreled back and forth with each other about one thing after another. Sango and Miruko where having there own private conversation. Miruko lead Sango by a shady place underneath a blossom tree, so they'd be cooler and out of the sun's raging rays that burned down on you.

" Sango, are you sure your alright" Miruko stepped towards Sango who had her back towards him. His eyes looked over her beautiful shiny black hair that hung down below her shoulders, her sleek slender curves that showed in her kimono, and he also noticed her rump, how lovely it looked in her new kimono that Kagome brough back for her. Pushing his perverted thought to the back of his head he stepped forward and stood behind Sango. He gently put his hand on her should

Sango turned around and faced Miruko; her face was glistening with tears, her eyes where red and puffy. Her breathing was caught by gasp of breaths as she continues to try to stop crying. Her hands kept rubbing at her eyes, which made them even redder, and her red eyeliner got smudged. To any regular boy she would of looked like an ugly walrus. But to Miruko she was still beautiful. He replaced his hand back on her shoulder, which was removed when she turned to face him

"Oh Miruko sniff I-I don't know what to say" Sango said through her sniffles and tears. She tried to bring herself back together, but the more she tried the worse she became

"What were you screaming about? I heard you yell my name, and your where yelling for help" Miruko asked Sango. Miruko was beginning to get very worried for Sango, and just wanted to hold her, but he kept his distance for now

"I had a dream about him Miruko…Again…Only this time he wanted to kill me Miruko. Kohaku wanted to kill me and he tried to. It felt to real, I can still feel his blades slicing at my skin her hands moved to her stomach, looking for the gash Kohaku placed in her, but it wasn't there I thought I was going to die" Sango said as her voice creaked and she started to cry really hard

Miruko took Sango by the shoulders and embraced her with a hug. He wrapped his arms around her back as she sobbed into his shirt. Her knees buckled together and she lost her balance. Miruko grabbed Sango and swept her off her feet before she could hit the floor. As he cradled her, Sango's crying became a bit less, as Miruko hugged her to his chest, Sango leaned her head against his clothes and felt his vibrant warmth from his skin, closing her eyes, she felt herself unsure of where she stood, and if this was just one of Miruko's flirting techniques

"Sango….you wouldn't have died, because I wouldn't let you. I'd save you" Miruko promised to Sango. He gently put her down on her feet again

Sango looked up at Miruko and searched his eyes for a false alarm. But as hard she looked she couldn't find one. The wind blew gently against them, as it picked up Sango's hair and had it flow in the warm spring breeze

"Sango…you look beautiful," Miruko told her in a loving voice as he took a step towards her. Sango's eyes had full attention in them now. Her thoughts where unclear and it was just a blur everything Miruko was saying to her, she couldn't believe it

"You must be crazy. No one likes me, I'm just nascence who is a silly six-teen year old. You got to be crazy, you must be mistaken Miru-" Sango was stopped dead in her words as she realized Miruko was no longer looking at her, but had kissed her, and she was no longer able to speak

Sango closed her eyes and kissed Miruko back. She wrapped her hands around his neck, as he pulled her up into a tight grip as he kissed her lovingly. After a few minutes, Miruko released Sango and looked at her with a loving expression on his face as she looked into his eyes with a bit of gladness and confusion

"I love you Sango, I've always had. You're the only women I had ever had such strong affections for. I'd risk my life for you." Miruko told sango as his hands where still wrapped around her back, and her hands around his neck. Sango's smile slowly reappeared, as she couldn't believe what he was saying to her

"I've always felt the same way towards you Miruko" Miruko pulled sango into a hug again and help her in his arms, which seemed like forever to Sango. As Miruko pulled away again Sango was disappointed

"We will get your younger brother back Sango, I promise"

"Thanks Miruko" Sango responded

Miruko sat against the tree, his staff lying beside him. Sango sat between his legs and leaned against his chest and she felt it go up and down. She closed her eyes and listened to the breathing of his breath and the rhythm of his heart beat. She slowly drifted off into a lovely comfortable dream, with miruko's hands holding her. Miruko couldn't help notice how peaceful she looked and the smile she had on her face even though his Sango was fast asleep

Dusk

The crackles of a fire could be heard in the distance. As Kagome listened, she felt someone holding her but wasn't exactly sure whom. She leaned into who ever it was. Her head was pounding, and she tried to fall back into sleep. Opening one of her eyes only a little bit she saw whom it was and smiled. Her memories raced back to what happened with Aruy

"Ses-Sesshoumaru…where's Rin, is she alright?" Kagome asked the person who was carrying her. Her whole body ached. The cool air, which was beginning to arise for the night, didn't help. She wondered how long she must have been out cold. She figured her encounter with Aruy must have been last night, which was almost twenty-four hours ago now

"She's with the medicine women who I am bringing you to see right now. You'll stay with her and Rin till I return" Sesshoumaru told Kagome, in a stern but loving way

Kagome went back into her dream world. When she finally woke up she was in a hut under some covers. The fire she must of heard from early was the one in the middle of the room, which kept cracking away. The hut smelled of herbs. She looked over to the other side of the room and saw Rin fast a sleep. Kagome smiled to herself and was happy that Rin was all right

"So your finally awake Kagome. You've been out cold for hours. I was afraid you where in a worse of state then I thought" I familiar voice responded as Kagome's eyes searched the room for the speaker. As her eyes fell on the speaker she sat up just a bit more

"Ka-Kaede!" Kagome said with a huge smile on her face

"I'm so glad to see you" Kagome said finishing off her sentence

"Calm down child, you'll over excite yourself. That demon walked in here with this child as she pointed to Rin and said that you guys where attacked, left her and just took off before I could say anything. He soon returned with you and told me what he new" Kaede explained to Kagome. Kagome laid, back down and smiled. She felt refreshed and clean as her cuts and bruises where being mend too.

"Now go back to sleep child, you have a long time before you recover and the best start is you need to recover your strength" Kaede told Kagome before she was about to leave the hut. After Kaede left Kagome smiled at the whole in the hut and looked at the stars and a bit of the moon she could see.

Kagome felt tired and slowly began to drift off to sleep. Her heart felt warm again, when she saw Kaede, Rin was all right, and that demon with the hair thing was nowhere near her. She smiled about how Sesshaumaru cared for her and brought her to Kaede with Rin. Her feelings for Sesshaumaru became more loving then acquaintance now. Before she drifted off into her slumber she mumbled her last words to the open night sky

"Thanks Sesshoumaru"

In the distant hills, a half demon's ears twitched in his also night slumber as he heard a familiar voice in his dream and miles away…he new she was thanking someone…but didn't exactly no who
