Last Chapter
"Miroku, please wake up."
Sango was almost falling asleep next to the still unconscious Miroku. Sango jerked back up again after she had started nodding off. She squeezed Miroku's hand. He slowly opened his eyes, which made tears waver in Sango's eyes. His vision was still blurry.
"Miroku! You're awake, I'm so glad. I was getting worried for a minute. It has been a whole day since you were found," Sango stated. Miroku realized that it was Sango talking to him. His eyes widened, he sat up quickly, and a sharp pain hit his side. He held on to it. "You shouldn't get up yet, you're still badly injured," Sango said.
"Get away… get away from me!" Miroku cried, he almost shoved Sango back as he backed up, he felt the pain, but he had to get away from her. He inched back to the corner of the room, where he sat with his arms around his knees.
"Miroku… what happened to you?" Sango asked. Miroku didn't answer, his eyes were going back and forth crazily.
"Just stay away! I don't ever want to see you again!" He cried. Sango gasped. Tears fell down her face.
"But I… please, just tell me what happened. Maybe I can help," she suggested, she did not want to leave. No matter what she was going to stay with him.
"No! You can never help! You just make things worse…" Miroku trailed off, lost in his memory of the suffering that he had endured. He felt his wound open up again, but nothing was worse than when Sango had hurt him, or when he hurt Sango. "Please, just leave me alone," he muttered.
"Miroku," Sango said, but he respected his wishes and left. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou were waiting outside.
"We heard yelling, is everything all right?" Kagome asked. Sango started sobbing.
"No… I did something to him, he hates me now. He said he never wants to see me again," Sango sobbed. Inuyasha grew angry at this. He went inside, then he saw the huddled Miroku, with tear filled eyes, Inuyasha stopped.
"Hey, whatever happened to you, it was Naraku's fault. He was the one to do this, not Sango, or any of us. So don't take it out on her," Inuyasha grunted. Miroku did not answer. "Fine, stay like that the rest of your life, or have you forgotten about your revenge on Naraku for putting that curse on you, and now this? We are all fighting to stay alive and kill him, remember?" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku winced, the tears instantly fell down his face. Inuyasha huffed and stomped out the door. "Well, I tried. It seems I can't get it through his thick skull that he needs to buck up," Inuyasha said.
"He just needs time. We don't know what happened in there. Anything could have because of Naraku," Sango said, sadly, tears still at the brink of falling down her face. Kagome hugged her, she was worried about both of her friends. A solemn Miroku stood in the doorway.
"Sango… I need… to talk to you," he whispered. His voice was harsh, because of the yelling and crying. Sango instantly folloed him in, wondering what he was going to say. He walked slowly over to the corner and sat back down, holding his side.
"I was… tortured. Many different ways. Each time… I woke up fine, physically," he started, shaking uncontrolably. Sango started to cry again. "Sometimes you… you would say that I did not love you, and then either hurt me, or I would hurt you, or worse," he sped up as he talked. Sango knelt down in front of him.
"I know you probably can't trust me right now, but you have to believe me. I love you, Miroku," Sango stated. She started to put her hand on his, he backed up even more into the corner. "Miroku, how can I proove it to you? The one in your nightmares, it wasn't me. I would never hurt you, and I know you are not capable of hurting others," Sango said, softly.
"I killed a whole village! I killed them, and you! The one I… I loved," he yelled. Sango shook her head.
"It was Naraku. He put those thoughts in your head. He will pay for everything that he's done to you." Sango went up to him, slowly, and reached out to touch his shoulder with her hand. He winced, but realized that it was a gentle touch, not like the Sango in his dreams. He shakily took her other hand and pulled her into his arms.
"I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! Please… forgive me!" He cried, sobbing.
"No, don't apologize, you did nothing wrong," she whispered, rubbing his back gently.
"No, I hurt you. I'm so…" he could not finish because of the tears. Sango just held onto him. That's all she could do for him now, keep holding on. She would hold on to the one she loved all her life. Miroku would recover, but it would take time, and she can give all of it to him, the one she loved.
