Sango continued to walk down the forest, despite the sounds she was hearing. It was probably just a rabbit. No big deal right?

It could have been a rabbit, or some other little forest animal, but it wasn't. As Sango looked around a large tree, she saw him.' Who is that?'she thought to herself. As she approached the dark figure, its features began to get detailed. A man, a demon man standing over a human girl's slaughtered body. Looking at the wounds she had been through the most horrible of deaths.

All of the sudden the man sensed her, he swiftly turned his head around, and saw her. How fun she would be to kill.

Back at the village, Miroku was thinking over "things". How could he not have seen it? Was he really that stupid? He couldn't believe that all this time, he'd led her to believe that he didn't care. The fact was he DID care. He cared so much, that the thought of her not knowing he cared made him unable to think straight. What was this strange feeling inside of him?

He had been caught up in his thoughts so long that he had not realized that Sango had been gone for hours. He was worried about her, as everyone else was.

"Kagome," Miroku said,"Will you stay here in the village incase Sango comes back? She's been gone too long. I'm going to search for her."

"Yeah," Kagome muttered quietly. As Miroku swiftly left the room, Kagome thought,' We finally got through to him."

In the forest Sango was backed up against a tree. The demon was coming closer and closer to her. She could see the sharp end of his blade heading sraight towards her.'How could I have been so careless. I'm going to die because of carelessness. Just great.'

The man ran his clawed hand under Sango's chin. "Ahh," He said," such a pretty face."

Sango turned her head in defiance. "If you're going to kill me, then get on with it," she said bravely.

"But, what fun would that be," he asked cynically.

"Oh great. I get to die at the hands of a pervert. That's just great. I thought I would escape one, by coming here. At least the one I know wouldn't kill me. Ever," Sango said protesting her death at this man's vile hands.

"So I am a pervert you say? I consider myself a hunter who thouroghly enjoys his game."

"Same thing," Sango said sarcastically.

Another rustle in the bushes. Did this man have friends?

As this new sound came into the clearing, Sango was delighted. Maybe, just mayebe she wouldn't die.As the figure saw what was happening it immediately fought to protect her. The demon released Sango from the tree, freeing his hands to fight the foe. With the shout of two words from her rescuers mouth, the demon dissapeared into a void of no return. She was safe. "Miroku," Sango exclaimed on the verge of tears.

Miroku walked up to the girl kneeling by the tree. He reached out a hand to help her up. She didn't take it, she only sat there in a slump by the tree." Sango," he said in a concerned way," Are you okay?"

The look in his eyes showed the heart that lay beneath his perverted exterior. Sango could only say," I thought... I was...going to die."

The monk had never seen the girl so scared the whole time he'd known her. What had this demon done to her.

Sango burst into tears. She couldn't help it. She had been through so much today.

" Sango...," Miroku said as he sat down near her," Part of this is my fault isn't it? I feel so terrible."

"What do you mean," Sango asked, looking up at the man beside her.

"You were upset with me which is why you were in the forest in the first place. I'm sorry that my ways upset you."

"Miroku," Sango said, not know what else to say. Was he apologizing for womanizing?

"Today, when I found out that I was the reason everybody, especially you, were upset; I couldn't believe I was so oblivious to you. You mean SO much to me. And to think, if I hadn't had been worried about you, you could've died, and I would have lost the most important thing that has EVER happened to me."

Sango blushed slightly as tears formed in her eyes. He did care. As Sango was thinking to herself, she suddenly found herself in his arms.

"Sango," he said with complete sincerity," I think, I think I'm falling in love with you."

Sango couldn't conjure up any words that would even compare to what he had just told her. Her only thing she could think of to show him how she felt, and what she did do was to kiss him. Both parties involved were pleased when they found that this kiss, was exactly how they imagined it would be. Neither of them could've asked for it to be any better.

The two returned to the village at nightfall where they were greeted by there oh so happy friends. The only thing Miroku could think about, though, was how he'd almost been too late.
