Chapter 6 – I Need a Miracle
A/N Gomen na! I'm sorry for not updating, because I meant to do it every day. But my friend just got back from Australia so I went to her house for a sleepover to welcome her back and then I was sick, so you know…
But I think this is going to be a good chapter – Kirara's POV. Ha! Here is the double meaning behind the title 'Miracle'. This chapter I'm using the song lyrics from 'Miracle' by Cascada. It's one of my favorite songs and I think it really describes the situation. Onto the story – and screw it, I still don't own either Cascada or Inuyasha, cause Shippou's still alive. Crap.
I sprinted through the forests, tears spilling out of my eyes. I've always heard of a human emotion called shame, but I never really knew what it was until right then. All I wanted to do was get away from the others – from Miroku, even. I had just wanted Miroku for myself – but I didn't deserve him. I didn't need him. And the one who needed him – who needed me – the most was now running in the opposite direction from me.
I stopped finally, my chest heaving from running, and leaned myself against a tree, wiping away the tears. Sango was the one person who had always been there for me. I always thought that I would be there for her too. Even through what happened with Kohaku and Naraku, and even when the village was destroyed, we were there for each other. But back then, I guess she knew her place, and I knew mine. I was a neko youkai – a cat demon, and she was a demon exterminator. Fate brought us together, and when we didn't disrupt the flow, we lived perfectly happily. She was my master, my mother even, and I was her pet, her sidekick, and her best friend.
But now that I was a human, everything was turned upside down. I could talk – I could express myself to her. I could flirt. But I also had the ability to lie, and to betray. And as I stood there, the tears pouring out of my eyes and my whole soul completely depressed, I stared up at the sky and wondered,
Is this really the miracle I thought it was?
Right then, all I wanted was to make things right again. One kiss had set it off, one simple act – but how do I put it back together? How could I make Sango love me again?
And then suddenly a scream pierced the forest.
""Boy meets girl, you were my dream, my world
But I was blind; you cheated on me from behind.
So on my own, I feel so all alone,
Though I know it's true – I'm still in love with you,""
And even from the first second I knew whose voice that was. Without even thinking, without even realizing that I couldn't fight, I started to sprint to the sound.
It was Sango's voice.
""I need a miracle, I want to be your girl,
Give me a chance to see that you were made for me,
I need a miracle, please let me be your girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me, can happen to me…""
My mind was spinning at 100 MPH as I raced through the forest. I was hot – and I probably wasn't very fast, because I still wasn't very good at running as a human. What happened? Was she in trouble? Did she leave without her Hiraikotsu? Without her sword, even? I knew Sango – she could take care of herself better than most men could, and plus she had her hidden weapon in the sleeve of her yukata that she always wore. But when it came to demons, she was virtually defenseless without Hiraikotsu.
Without me.
""Day and night, I'm always by your side
Cause I know for sure my love is real, my feelings pure
So take a try, no need to ask me why
Cause I know it's true, I'm still in love with you…""
I knew I had always been there for her in fights. I had transformed to save her from youkai countless times. I was one of her main weapons in fights just as much as the Hiraikotsu. And I was also her first real ally. Her first real friend.
As a cat demon, of course.
I finally ran into a clearing in the forest – and saw what I had been dreading. Sango was barely conscious, and her yukata was torn and bloody. Her hair was lying haphazardly over her body. Her brown eyes were barely opened. And her attacker was none other than the tiger youkai. He was leering over Sango, red eyes reveling in her pain. He slowly turned to me and grinned.
"How are you, kitty-cat? Well, what are you going to do to me now?"
""I need a miracle, I want to be your girl,
Give me a chance to see that you were made for me,""
I had only one option. It only took me one second to decide. And it was the miracle I was looking for.
""I need a miracle, please let me be your girl,
One day you'll see it can happen to me, can happen to me…""
I stepped in front of Sango, closed my eyes, and transformed.
