Why


That night they all wound up camping outside, they were to far away from any form of civilization to find a home to stay at. Kagome slept in her sleeping bag close to the fire that they had started in order to keep warm. Shippo was curled up next to Kagome in the sleeping bag. Inu Yasha was up in a tree not to far away from Kagome and was silently dosing off into a dreamless sleep. Sango lay on the opposite side of the fire from Kagome staring into the flames. While Miroku sat propped up against a near by tree his mind drifting off while he looked at the stars.

Miroku thought everyone was asleep. He shifted in his spot to become a little more comfortable. Sango heard this and turned from thee fire to see where the noise was coming from, to find Miroku sitting by a tree not far away. "I'm sorry to wake you, Sango." Miroku's voice was hardly above a whisper; nevertheless Sango was able to hear it.

"You did not wake me, Lord Monk, I hadn't fallen of to sleep yet. What are you doing up?"

"Thinking"

"Bout what?" inquired the curious Sango.

"You," he said softly. Sango was flabbergasted her jaw dropped opened and she was at a loss for words. Miroku sensed that, so he continued on. "Why did you cut your wrist?"

A moment of silence passed and as Sango composed herself, she got up and walked over towards Miroku. She sat down so close to Miroku that if she was any closer she would be on top of his lap. Sango looked down as she answered. Miroku just stared at her and nothing would be able to pull his gaze off of Sango. "I was lonely," was her long awaited answer. And with that Miroku put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer (if at all possible).

"You shouldn't be lonely, because I will always be there for you as will Inu Yasha, Kagome and Shippo. We are your friends and you'll never be lonely as long as you have us." Miroku said as a way to comfort her. He didn't want her to cry again, he couldn't bear it, and it made him want to change the world just so she would not be hurt.

"I know that, but I wasn't lonely for my friends, I missed my family. I miss everyone who loves me. Kohaku is still here but because of Naraku he dose not even remember me. They're gone, every one of them." Still looking down at the ground a single tear rolled down her cheek. When Miroku saw this he only held her tighter and rubbed her arm for comfort. He wanted to tell her then that he loved her. But he felt it best that they stay friends at least until Naraku was defeated and the hole in his hand was gone. That way he would know that they could be together forever, and that she wouldn't have to lose anybody else that loved her again.



Let me know what you think. I know, I know its short; I tried to make it longer it didn't work.
