Chapter 2
Later that evening Sango went to meet Miroku just a little bit early. When she got there she notice that wasn't there yet. She looked around, then after a while she sat down on the trunk of the Sacred Tree.
"Hmm…I guess I'll just wait for him." She said to herself. She sat there taking in a deep breath of the fresh evening air and waited. She leaned back on the Sacred Tree and relaxed. She closed her eyes, trying to figure out what Miroku wanted to tell her.
"Houshi-sama…He really didn't seem like himself…" She couldn't figure it out. He just didn't seem right. His voice and his face seemed too dark. It was almost like he wanted to tell her something she wouldn't like.
A few moments later she heard footsteps coming closer. She looked up and saw Miroku, or who she thought was Miroku anyway, walking closer to her.
Sango stood up and looked at him. "His face…it still looks dark." She stared at him for a moment, before he said her name.
"Sango…"
"Houshi-sama, what did you want to tell me?" She asked.
"Sango…this won't be easy to hear, but please just listen to me." He told her calmly.
"W-what is it?" She asked almost hesitantly.
"Since Naraku killed Kikyou and took the sacred jewel fragment along with Koga's jewel shards, I've been thinking…" He said seriously. "Naraku has an advantage over all of us more than ever. We need to find a way to purify Naraku before he ever has a chance to attack us again."
"Uh-huh…" Sango said. "Why couldn't he just tell me back then by the river?" None of this made any sense to her. Why would this be hard to hear? Why was he telling her so carefully? She stared at him trying to figure it out, but she couldn't make anything of it.
"In order to do that…we have to take Kohaku's shard." He told her.
Sango's mind went blank. "What did he say?" It took her awhile before she could find her voice. "W-what?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"We have to have a shard of the Jewel in order to purify Naraku. We could give it to Kagome to use her spiritual powers to purify the shard along with Naraku. Since there's no more jewel shards but Kohaku's left, we have to use it."
Sango was in complete shock over the entire conversation. If they took Kohaku's jewel shard, he would die! There was no way she would let that happen, she couldn't let it happen! No matter what she had to do.
"Houshi-sama, Isn't there something else we can do? There was to be another way!"
"I'm sorry Sango…"
"I won't let you kill Kohaku! You can't!" She was yelling at him now. She was trying, in any way, to stop him from killing Kohaku. She was about to say something, when something hard hit her on her left side of her head.
She fell hard to the ground, her hand was covering the place where she was hit. She winced from the throbbing pain and looked up at Miroku, who had just hit her with his shakujo, with a dark look on his face. She could barely believe he would do something like this, it wasn't like him at all!
"H-houshi-sama…?" She said half-consciously, looking at him.
He glared at her with hatred in his eyes and raised his staff to hit her again.
"I can't let you get in my way."
That was the last thing she heard before everything went black.
The real Miroku, meanwhile, was walking in the village. He had been to Kaede's hut earlier to see if Sango was there, but to only be told they hadn't seen her all day. He left her hut and started looking around for her. Now he had been looking for her now for almost a hour. It was starting to get dark and he was getting worried.
In the shadows stood Naraku, disguised as Sango. He smiled his most evil smile and started to walk towards Miroku.
Miroku looked around and saw Sango coming towards him. Her faced was shadowed by her bangs and she was gripping Hiraikotsu as if she was about to attack someone with it.
"Sango?"
She looked up at him and smiled.
To be continued...
