Heart of Tensaiga
Mind of a Monk
Miroku was too stunned to say anything for a few moments, which did not help the mood of the angry woman at his side. How can I tell her anything and get her hopes up when I know that I could be killed by this curse any day now? "Sango, it is difficult to explain."
"Try," she stated. She loosened up a bit and waited for him to start.
He rubbed the back of his head trying to think of how to say everything, "Sango, I am a cursed man like my father before me. One day when this curse has been completed I will be no more than the crater left within the ground. Until Naraku is dead there is no hope for any future for me…or for anyone that becomes attached to me. I do not want that for you Sango," he sighed at last.
"Miroku, I," she was cut off before she could finish.
"Please, let me get this out. I lost my father to this curse and it tore a hole in me that I fear has not recovered. I will not have someone I care about have that same hole within them, having to fear that I will disappear the next day…and though I speak the opposite often, I do not wish to pass this curse down to an innocent child." He paused for a long moment, "My feelings for you are sincere; however, Naraku must die before I allow my dreams to happen."
(A/N) Alright everyone, first off, too answer some questions I have been asked.
1) Where are the Kagome and Sesshomaru chapters?
-I said before, there would be ten chapters each dedicated to the interactions of the Inuyasha group. Right now they are currently split so things are happening on both ends. Tell me, if I were to have Kagome come back down the well and there's some random half demon girl there, you as a reader would not be going 'What the hell?' I put those chapters so people know what is going on with both groups. Once they merge more, I can more focus on the main pairing; but, though they are the main pairing that the story focuses on, they are not the only aspect of it.
2) I wish the chapters were longer, can you write longer chapters?
-The answer to that is I decided how long they chapters were going to be beforehand and I am going to stick to the layout I have been going with. It's enough words to get a feel like the real anime without being so long that the writing feels forced and prolonged.
3) When will Sesshomaru and Kagome be making a reappearance?
-After the next few chapters both groups will be caught up in the timeline. I shall be posting the last of the Sango/Miroku chapters all at once and then the next is back to Kagome/Sesshomaru.
4) Will there be a backstory part for Katsumi so we can learn about her past?
-There will be something revolving around her soon; but, it more involves the entire group and lots of trouble. That is all I can say.
End of Questions
Now, to those of you who have been patient, thank you very much for your time and patience. To the rest, I cannot promise every single chapter will be a Kagome/Sesshomaru one. It depends on where the focus needs to be or if there are any other important events that need a little spotlight. Some chapters will be about Naraku, some about what other enemies are doing that will be relevant later; but, there is a purpose to these chapters. So, again, thanks to everyone. Review if you like...and now to get the rest of the chapters posted.
