Soothe
 
The prayer beads constrict around his hand, but underneath he feels the burn, seeping into his blood and scratching across his nerves. Miroku looks down, makes a strained fist and frowns.
 
Naraku is laughing - right now; he hears the cacophony of doom echo inside his head. He doesn't have much time left.
 
Then, before he weeps, a soft hand rests over his curse. In her eyes, he sees the fear, but he also sees something else: determination. She still refuses to give up on him.
 
Suddenly, his brain lulls into silence. Sango's hope quiets the beast of damnation for now.
