InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Amber Eyes of Love ❯ Miroku 's Confession ( Chapter 4 )

Inuyasha sat quietly under a tree, Indian style with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Kagome sat in front of a fire cooking ramen and rice balls. Shippo & Kilala sparred.

“Sango…” Miroku called. Sango sighed lightly opening her eyes. She had been meditating, enjoying the peace and quite.

“Yes Miroku...what is it?” She asked standing.

“I just wanted to know if you would like to take a walk with me.” He asked with a hopeful smile. Sango rolled her eyes and turned to walk away, knowing exactly what he wanted.

“It's not what your thinking...I just wanted a to take a walk with you.” He said gently grabbing her arm, his eyes were soft and kind.

“Okay.” Sango said intrigued at his caressing touch.

“Along the bank.” Miroku said gesturing with his staff. Sango nodded and followed his lead. They walked a ways down the bank in silence.

“Sango…” Miroku began.

“Hmm.” Sango said looking over at him.

“I was wondering…” Miroku started.

“No…I won’t bare your child Miroku.” She said reaching for her Hiraikotsu.

“Sango…over the years I’ve groped and you’ve slapped.” Miroku said reaching for her hand. Sango flinched at his movement ready to slap him. “I’ve asked you to bare my child and you’ve denied…yet in the end no matter how much we fight were always there for each other.” He continued cupping her hands in his.

“Miroku..” Sango began, in a soft weak tone, staring into his eyes.

“After the last two jewels shards are collected & Naraku is killed…I take it Kagome will go back to her time and the rest of us will go our separate ways.” he said staring at her.

“Well yeah I guess so..” Sango agreed looking him over.

“Sango will you stay with me after this is all over?” He asked.

“Eh!” Sango said pulling away and stepping back. 'Is he asking me to be his...'

“Sango…will you be my girlfriends?” Miroku asked staring deeply into her eyes.

-----------------------------------

“Lunch.” Kagome called looking around, Shippo & Kilala were curled up next to her sleep, Sango and Miroku were nowhere to be seen and Inuyasha was still sitting under the tree meditating. “Inuyasha?” She said walking over to him with a bowl of ramen in hand. “Ramen..” She said putting in front of his face.

Inuyasha sniffed taking in the ramen’s aroma, his eyes opened slowly. “Beef.” he said taking the bowl and digging in. “Thank you.” He said after the first few bites. Kagome smiled, bowed and walked off.

“Shippo..” Kagome called standing over the little pup.

“Oi wench! What are you doin’?” Inuyasha said sitting down his empty bowl. “Let him sleep…he’s exhausted.” He added folding his hand into his Haori sleeves as he stood and walked over to her. “He's still a pup...he needs his rest.” Inuyasha said in almost a caring tone. Kagome nodded.

“More ramen?” She asked.

“No…but thanks for the offer.” He responded. “You should eat...I’ll go and look for the other two.” He said. He sniffed the air, picked up Sango’s sent, he jumped into the trees and followed it.

-----------------------------------

“Sango…will you be my girlfriend?” Miroku asked staring deeply into her eyes.

“Miroku I…” Sango started in an unsure voice looking down at the ground. 'I want to, it's just...'

He lifted her chin and stared into her eyes, she could fell the warmth of his breathe on her lips, and his gentle yet firm hold on her waist. She blushed lightly as their lips grew closer. “I love you Sango.” He said pulling her closer to him and went in for a kiss but she withdrew, turning her head so that his lips met her cheek. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away.

“But I don’t love you.” She replied closing her eyes, holding back the tears. 'What am I saying?' She mentally yelled at herself.

“I see..” Miroku said staring heartbroken at the ground.

“There you two are.” Inuyasha called out jumping down from a tree. “Lunch is ready?” He added looking the two over. “Is everything alright.” He asked in a very concerned voice. He didn’t have to sent them to know what happened.

“Everything’s fine Inuyasha…” Miroku said walking back to camp. 'I just got my heart rip out, and torn to pieces but everythings fine.'

“Sango.” Inuyasha called walking over to her.

“Do you think I was wrong for turning him down like that?” She asked allowing tears to fall.

“No…I understand why you did it.” He replied. Sango walked over to him and buried her head into his chest, he wrapped her in his arms. “Come on…we should get back.” He said as her crying died down. She nodded softly and pulled away. She whipped away her tears as they walked back to camp.

Review please and thank you!! (smiles waves and walks off)
