Inuyasha and Kagome

Chapter 12

I walked a long ways. Everything replaying in my head. The last words Miroku spoke, the feelings kept coming back to me. Each time it became harder and harder to live. Miroku is dead and this is what I do. Run away like a coward. I don't deserve to live, I should've died not Miroku. I fell to my knees and sobbed into my hands once more.

"I'm so worthless." I said to myself. I wiped my eyes and stood up. I walked. I don't know where I'm going. I have no where to go. I have no one. Except maybe Kagome and Inuyasha, but they probably hate me. I killed one of their best friends. I always find my self thinking about Miroku. His dead body, the lifeless face.

That was 6 months ago.

I didn't even go to his funeral. If he had one. Once in a while I find myself wandering back to Kieda's. I stand in the woods watching my friends be happy. Once in a while Kagome stares off into the distance. Looking sad, and lonely. Yet she has all these people who love her.

I walk away. Feeling guilt build up in my heart. I can't look at Kirara, I disappointed her. She loved Miroku, I took him away from them. I could never have a normal life.

I'm trying though. I'm living in a village far away from them. I have a daughter, adopted daughter. I have a hut and friends. I changed my name. It is now Temari.

I'm happy.

(Kagome's POV)

Sometimes I feel like Sango is still around. I call her name on accident. I look for her and then I remember she left because of Miroku's death. She felt as if it was her fault but it wasn't it was Naraku he made a clone of her. I miss her terribly. I remember the day she stood up and walked away. I called and called for her but she didn't come back.

That was 6 months ago.

We all miss her terribly. Especially Kirara, she grew up with her. She's so sad, she's not as active as she used to be. She sleeps all day and is so distant from everyone. We all know Miroku's death wasn't her fault. Besides Miroku isn't dead, he was in a coma for about a month. He woke up looking for Sango, we told him she left. He doesn't talk much anymore. No one really does. He doesn't even flirt with women anymore! Sango was like the glue that held us all together.

She had a little special something in all of us. Now she's gone and so is that little special something. Whenever we go to a village I always ask about her. They all shook there heads. Everyone started to loose faith that we will find her. I'm still confident that we'll find her. I know we will. She can't just fall off the face of the Earth?

For some reason today was different. I felt as if today was a special day. We came to this village in the middle of no where.

"There's nothing here, let's move on." Inuyasha said.

I grabbed Inuyasha's arm. "No can we stay here?" I said. "I have a special feeling about this place."

"Okay." He said. We walked into the village.

"Excuse me?" I tapped a young woman's shoulder. She turned around. I gasped. "S-Sango?"

"I'm sorry you must have me mistaken. I'm Temari." The woman said. She tried to turn away but I grabbed her arm.

"No, no I can't be wrong. You are Sango! I can tell you have that little bit of blue around you pupil!" I hugged her. "Sango I can't believe we found you! We've missed you so much! Especially Miroku!"

Her eyes widened. "Mir-Miroku? He- he's alive?" Miroku turned around. Sango gasped and a tear fell down her face.

"Sango?" Miroku said. He walked slowly towards her. "Is-is that y-you?" She nodded. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" She hugged him back.
