InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through the Well ❯ Miroku and Sango ( Chapter 31 )

Disclaimer: NO matter how much we all believe that it's true, sadly I don't own Inuyasha…(whistles innocently while hiding a key) but if you can find them all then you can have them back……

Here's the next chapter and I hope that you do know that in this the main focus is that of Miroku and Sango obviously you should have gathered that from the title....But anyway, I hope that you enjoy this chapter. It will mainly hopefully be suspense, since I really want you to suffer. lol I'm just kidding for the main part. so yeah with out further hesitation.

Previously on "Through the well"

Suddendly Inuyasha grew serious as he stood up and brushed himself off, then walked up to his friend. "Miroku," he said. "It's gone...Your wind tunnel is gone...So get off your ass and go find her...And once you've got her, don't ye dare let her go!"

Miroku realized how intelligent the hanyou sounded, even if he was mocking Kaede a bit. He looked down at his hand and saw that Inuyasha was right, his cursed wind tunnel was in fact gone! His eyes widened in shock and then happiness before he dashed away. He was going to take Inuyasha's advice.

o.O My life is filled, with your memories. You were deep with in my heart. You were deep with inside me. O.o

Chapter Thirty-One: Miroku and Sango.

Sango boredly got off the ground and dusted herself off as Kaede slowly walked towards the hut. Smiling widely Sango went up to the elderly woman and said hello.

"How are ye this morning?" Kaede asked returning the smile.

"I'm doing okay I guess." Sango shrugged, "But I think that I'm going to go for a run to loosen up my muscles a bit."

"Aye, ye go and do that." Kaede smiled.

"Oh, and Inuyasha's awake." Sango called back as she took off in a quick sprint.

In a matter of minutes Kaede was out of Sango's sight as she began her long, relaxing jog. For her everything was slowly going into its original place, and it left her feeling a little lonely and sad.

"What am I going to do now?" She panted as she jogged along side the entrance of the forest.

Many thought ran through her mind, mostly questions that she could not seem to find the answers to. It was all too much to think about, Sango was going to have to start rebuilding her village and that wasn't going to be easy. In fact, eventually the demon slayer was going to settle down and start a family. But who was she planning to start a family with?

How old was she now? Seventeen? Eighteen? Where was she able to find a man where she could love and be happy with? Maybe it would have been a lot easier to just run and not think about the future. Mabye she should have stopped looking for someone and instead let him find her.

Sango was so wrapped up in her little world that she didn't pay attention to anything around her. She couldn't even hear the birds singing their hypnotising melody or the loud rining of a voice belonging to a certain monk as he struggled to find her.

O.o And all this pain. That I'm wrapped around. Does the heaven up above see the angels falling down? o.O

Miroku sprinted quickly back to the village. He had wasted his whole morning worrying about his god foresaken cursed hand, that he was ignoring what he should have been thinking about, Sango. It could have been a hell of a lot easier if he hadn't been thinking of himself, being so selfish.

He could still hear the words that Inuyasha said. They were so well thought out, so mature. How could the hanyou be smart, but act like such an ass? Was it even possible that he was just that damn naive or something? Shaking his mind of jealous and short-lived thoughts, Miroku slowed down when he had the hut in his sight.

Breathing heavily and panting he skidded to a stop inside the hut, almost knocking over a very unsteady Kagome.

"You're awake!" he coughed helping her.

She nodded brushing herself off. Catching his breath he looked around for Sango, but she was no where in sight. The monk frowned a bit before he glanced back down at Kagome.

"Have you seen Sango?" Miroku asked quickly.

"The young lass went for a jog. Ye missed her by a while young monk." Kaede said sipping her tea.

"Which way did she go?" He questioned becoming antsy.

"Aye, she went towards the river I believe." Kaede replied.

With that Miroku was off, it was as if he had recieved a gigantic second wind. There was only one thing on his mind now as he ran passed the trees on his side, and that was to find Sango. A smile pursed his lips as his legs pumped themselves faster towards on unknown destination.

"Sango!" He yelled, "Sango! Sango!"

He hoped that she would hear him, he prayed she could because if not, Miroku wasn't sure if he would be able to find her before nightfall and knowing how she ran, by then it could be too late.

o.O I've got to rise above my life, to find a reason I'm alive. o.O

After what seemed like forever, Sango stopped at the river's edge and scooped up some water between her cupped hands and drank thirstilly. The water was cold and it stung her throat as she drank. When she finished getting her fill, she splashed some of the cool water onto her sweating face, it was so refreshing.

Sango looked up at the sun as it beat down against her skin, soon it would be getting late and it would be about time for her to start heading back to the hut and to her friends.

"I wonder how Kagome's doing?" She asked herself as she slowly climbed to her feet.

'Sango!'

The demon slayer whirled around to see who was there, but it was only the wind, or so she thought. Somebody had been calling her and she could have sworn it was Miroku. Whatever it was, it must have been her mind playing tricks on her because if it was somebody calling her, she was sure that they would keep calling.

She was about to head back to the village and she had calmed down a bit when an enormous roar shot out of the forest. Sango frowned as she looked around. Nothing was close by, well except what ever had made that loud sound.

'Maybe I should go check out what made that noise?' She told herself. 'Maybe it was just Inuyasha blowing off some frustrations? What if he's gone full demon again? What if he's hurt somebody? What if it's something or someone else and they've hurt somebody?' ((Talk about being pessimistic))

Making up her mind she ran towards where she heard the roar. Sango had gone into one of her "demon slayer" modes and it hadn't taken her long to reach where she thought the sound was coming from. Glancing around, her eyes went wide and her mouth hung open.

"...Miroku..." She whispered covering her mouth trying not to scream.

O.o I'll save myself, I'm all alone. I've opened my heart, to see there's nobody home. o.O

He could tell that he was almost to the river, it would only be about five minutes probably, but that's only if he kept up at the current speed he was at. The monk stopped, he had to, all the running he had been doing was taking its toll. He wasn't like Sango and practically have his own energy making machine.

'She's probably made of sugar and spice..' He thought to himself, "I would so like to kiss her again. Maybe..." He didn't realize that he said the last part out loud, but his mind was obviously falling into the "dark side."

Miroku chuckled as his breathing and heart rate had gone back to normal. He didn't think about it at the time, but since his wind tunnel was gone and he currently wasn't carrying his staff, the young monk was completely unarmed, practically defenseless and at the entrance of the forest all alone. If he would have stopped thinking about now many things he and Sango could be doing, he could have heard something coming to his location.

That's when he heard it. A ground shaking, ear spliting animal cry, but it sounded like a gigantic roar. The ground shook as Miroku looked at the trees, he stepped back. Whatever was hiding in the trees had spotted the monk and was probably very hungry.

Miroku's eyes bugged out of their sockets as an enormous bear youkai came out from its hiding spot and stepped near the surprised monk. ((Not too original but who cares)) The bear stood at least fourty feet off the ground on its hind legs and its claws were razor sharp. It licked its lips as it spied Miroku.

"Holy shit...." he managed to whisper.

The bear's claws came down in a sweeping motion and Miroku was too slow to react. The youkai flung the monk easily into a tree like a rag doll. Pain shot through his head as Miroku struggled to get on his feet. He could feel a hot liquid pouring down the side of his face. Gingerly he touched the liquid and brought his fingertips to his fuzzy and dazed range of view. As he had susspected, it was his blood and it wasn't a small wound either.

Becoming dizzy, Miroku fell to the ground, the world around him was spinning and he was starting to see spots.

'Why isn't that damned bear youkai not finishing me off?' Miroku asked himself, 'I might not live to see my love Sango again. She'll never know my true feelings for her. She'll never know I'm dead until she sees my appendages and blood throughout the vilage, if the bear youkai attacks and I don't bleed to death first.'

Miroku blinked, but his eyes didn't open again. He felt like just going to sleep until he felt someone or something pull his upper half onto something soft but sturdy. He felt the warmth of someone's hand against his cheek, caressing it.

"..Sango?.." he whispered opening his eyes trying to focus on the blurry figure.

O.o It's up to me, I'm on my own. The message of life, is turning facing the storm. Facing the storm. Facing the storm. O.o

There he was, lying on the ground his head busted open and bleeding. Without thinking, she rushed toward him and fell onto her knees as she pulled the seemingly unconscious monk onto her lap. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she caressed his cheek, he looked so helpless.

And as he called her name and opened his eyes, She thought that she could just die because he was okay. Tears poured down her cheeks as she ran her fingers though his loose hair until she came across his wound and he winced in pain.

Tearing off some of her kimono, she put pressure on the monk's injury, hoping it would stop bleeding.

"You're going to be okay," She said softly, "So hold on."

Sango stared down at Miroku, then something caught her attention. It sounded like a wild animal growling and it was steadily growing louder. Her gaze switched on to the enormous bear youkai that she hadn't seen when she arrived. Her body tensed up as its giant claws drew back and prepared for it's final blow that would most likely end the life of her's and Miroku's lives.

O.o I'll save myself, I'm all alone. I've opened my heart, to see there's nobody home. It's up to me, I'm on my own. The message of life, is turning facing the storm. o.O

LOL I'm leaving you with this big ass cliff hanger! I do not own Saliva's song "Facing the storm" as I have so generously stated in the previous chapter. I just love that song and had to use it again. It was the complete opposite of what was going on in the chapter and I thought that you would like it. So yeah, did you like it? How many of you really want to hurt me right now? oo Inside information, Fluff in the next chapter! so heads up! ReViEw and I might update early! lol

Chapter Thirty-two: Yeah. Thanks, thanks a l ot!

Until next time Krystal!
