InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Absolution: The Collected Chronicles of Miroku and Sango ❯ Dreams ( Chapter 6 )

Most nights he dreamed.

 

Of dark hair and hurtful eyes.

 

Of words that cut and his heart was the one that would bleed.

 

He could hear the echo of the words.

 

“I don't love you any more.”

 

For the longest time, they rattled in his soul, expanding until there was no room for hope, no room for love.

 

Miroku thought his soul was black, a void without any chance of being closed.

 

But some how the dreams changed…

 

 

Watching Sango as she crossed the crowded nightspot, Miroku felt for the first time maybe, she was the key. Everywhere he had felt darkness, she had begun to replace it with light. She had shown him that love still existed in the world and maybe there was a chance for him to have all his hurt taken away. He couldn't remember the last time he had felt happiness before Sango had come along. It had taken awhile but Miroku had come to realize he deserved a chance at happiness. It was time to cancel out the hurt.

 

But Miroku also knew, until his past was reconciled, it would keep intruding on his future. As Sango took her seat beside him, she gave him a brilliant smile. Miroku returned the smile and, covering her hand with his, made a vow to deal with his past so he could have a future.
