"Kagome, are you sure about this dress?"

"Of course!" she reassured. "This is gonna totally make him drool on the floor and slip on it!"

Sango laughed at the mental picture she recieved. After school that day, Kagome had accompanied her to go shopping at the mall for "the perfect dress". Hours were spent going through racks upon racks of clothes, searching for a possible winner. Sango felt like she tried on at least a couple dozen dresses before she came to THE ONE. When she emerged from the dressing room, Kagome squealed with delight of how elegant her friend looked.

Sango had certain doubts about the dress. Wasn't this a little too....much? She had to admit, it was breathtaking, the way it shaped her perfectly was to die for. This really wasn't her style, or way of being conservative. To her, the dress seemed to desperate, as if to say "What the hell are you just standing there for, take me now!" Then again, maybe she was overexaggerating. She made a vow after all; a vow to take any and all chances in order to make her true intentions known, and let her heart decide what she wanted for once instead of her mind.

The two returned to Sango's house, and both were now preparing for last minute adjustments before their dates arrived. Kagome had been giddy as ever, forever speaking of Inuyasha and how excited she was about their relationship and about the dance and so on and so on. Sango was more in her own thoughts. She was becoming more and more anxious over time, perhaps even dreading the upcoming moment. What would she say? What would he say? What will happen? What if she was wrong in making this decision? Sango shook her head. She had to stop thinking so negatively! What would happen would happen, she just needed to relax.

"Sango! What are you doing?!"

"What?" she asked, confusion marking her features.

"You're putting up your hair!"

"I always do that!"

Kagome took the brush out of Sango's hands. "Not tonight you won't! We're gonna try something new and leave your hair down for once in your life!"

Beeeep Beeeeeep!!!

"Oh shit, we're late!" Sango exclaimed. Quickly making some last minute adjusments on her make up she snatched her coat and put it on.

"Nice move Sango!" Kagome said. "Make him wonder what's under the coat!" She grinned.

"Oh shut up!"

Kagome giggled. "What a night this will be! Everyone will especially be suprised when you show up...and with Miroku! And with that dress you got, you'll have guys with you left and right. Won't Miroku be jealous!"

"Ugh, that's all I need, to suffer from claustrophobia."

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sango stuck her head out the window and shouted, "Shut the hell up already we're coming!"

"Hurry it up wench!" Inuyasha spat.

Sango gave him the finger before slamming the window shut and going down the stairs with Kagome.

"Who does that guy think he is?!" Sango huffed.

"Please, Sango, let's try for no fighting tonight, okay?"

"Sure, if the hentai doesn't start groping me, it'll all be cool."

A limo was waiting for the girls outside. Sango and Kagome were greeted by their dates and once they went inside, their eyes went wide in excitement at the luxury.

"Champaign anyone?" Inuyasha asked.

"Aren't we underage, Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.

"Hey, no one's gonna spoil my fun tonight. Anyone who's gotta problem will hafta deal with it."

"Oh Inuyasha!" exclaimed Kagome. "This is amazing!"

"I hope that there won't be any rude misbehavior from you Sango; no slapping me."

"I was just about to say the same of you. Then again, if you keep your hands in check there will be no need to slap you."

A lecherous smile then graced his lips, "I would prefer for you to spank me though."

Sango hit him over the head with the champaign glass. "Your mouth should keep in check as well."

"Sango! Cut it our already!" Kagome scolded.

"Yeah," said Inuyasha, "it's not his fault he was born a pervert."

"Gee, thanks Inuyasha," Miroku mumbled.

"Glad I could help."

"Oh Kami when will it end," Kagome moaned.

They reached the hall and neared the coat check at the door. 'This was it' Sagno thought. After she took this coat off, she would take all chances. Miroku had been quite curious in wondering what exactly was under that coat of hers, and when she slid it off her shoulders, he froze with his mouth hanging open and his tounge rolling out the door and accross the street!

She wore a strapless, scarlet, red dress. The bodice was overlaid in black lace and was very tight fitting. It cupped her breasts making them look fuller and revealing her cleavage. The bottom flowed and was stardusted with glitter, continuing down to the train that trailed behind her. It was very spanish looking, and her hair contributed to that accent. And oh her hair! It flowed from her head like a gentle breeze, complementing her face and complection. Everyone was stunned, even Inuyasha, whom Kagome had to bring back to reality by ramming her elbow in his gut.

Sango's breath quickened. All these people were just starring at her and making her feel all the more uncomfortable. Under all the heavy stares, the most penatrating came from Miroku. Gods why did he have to look at her like that? It made her knees feel week and she felt faint at the sight of him. He looked so damn sexy in that black tux, and even though he was starring at her like a complete idiot, she still thought he looked damn fine.

Trying to ease up the tension she said, "Are you going to stand there all night like a fool, or are you going to escort me in?"

Miroku shook his head to clear his mind. "No fool would ever let that happen."

Inuyasha leant down to Kagome and whispered, "Am I missing something?"

Kagome giggled softly, "No, she's just finally learning to live."

"Well, let's hope she doesn't learn to live too much."

"Inuyasha!" she scolded and slapped his arm. "Shut up and escort me in too! They're leaving us behind!"

"Let them," he said as he lightly kissed her hand. "It'll give us more time.

Meanwhile Sango and Miroku were causing quite a stir. Everyone watched, amazed that Sango had shown up, not to mention that she looked "damn fucking sexy" as the male viewers put it, and as the female population comented, that she was "with Miroku of all people."

Sango found herself surrounded by people whom she barely spoke to, but now treated her as their best friend since they've known for forever-and-a-day. She had to admit, thought, it was a bit exciting receiving all the attention, and actually showed a brilliant smile that took Miroku's breath away.

Miroku stood a bit to the side and watched. She was gorgeous! And she had chosen him to be her date! He never thought this day would come, he thought to himself as he heard her laugh. He had never seen or heard her laugh and it made him melt inside. He then decided to intervene on the advancing male population that was surrounding Sango.

"Care to dance, Lady Sango?" he asked.

Sango's smile instantly faded and Miroku's heart sangk. She looked quizzicaly at him before taking his outstretched hand and smiled warmly. Once again, Miroku was on cloud nine.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sango was feeling overwhelmed. 'So this is what it's like to be popular?' She never felt like she was one of the crowd, maybe because she was so reserved. She had always felt that being that way would serve as a kind of protection. However, over time, it only proved to be a restraint and cause for questioning one's own heart. 'Tonight would change,' she thought as she noticed Miroku watching her.

"There's so much life, I've left to live

And this fire is burning still.

When I watch you look at me

I think I could find the will

To stand for every dream

And forsake this solid ground

And give up this fear within

Of what would happen if they ever knew

I'm in love with you."

'I can't be afraid,' she thought as she took his hand to dance. 'I must tell him.' He led her to the dance floor smiling at her the whole time. That smile made her feel like she could surrender all and everything to him without hesitation; without worry or doubt at his refusal.

"Cause I'd surrender everything

To feel the chance to live again

I reach to you

I know that you can feel it too

We'd make it through

A thousand dreams I still believe

I'd make you give them all to me

I'd hold you in my arms

And never let go

I surrender"

"Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight Lady Sango?" he asked her.

"No," she blushed.

"Well you do, and don't get me wrong you look beautiful everday; it's just that tonight..."

"Stop you're embarrasing me."

"But it's true. Oh, milady, this poor excuse of a man only feels complete with you by my side."

"I know I can't survive

Another night away from you

You're the reason I go on

And now I need to live the truth

Right now, there's no better time

From this fear I will break free

And I'll live again with love

And no they can't take that away from me

And they will see....

That I surrender everything

To feel the chance to live again

I reach to you

I know that you can feel it too

We'd make it through

A thousand dreams I still believe

I'd make you give them all to me

I'd hold you in my arms

And never let go

I surrender..."

Despite it all, despite of what her heart told her, she stopped dancing. Miroku looked at her with worry, seeing her expression constantly change from confusion, to disbelief, to worry. Sango looked up at him, unable to say what was running through her, looking deep within his eyes as if trying to search for the answer within the deep violet pools that looked back at her for the same answer she sought. In frustration she walked hastily off the dancefloor and out the back door that led to a garden. She walked until she reached a gazebo and sat underneath it. Miroku had followed her and saw her bury her face in her hands.

"Are you all right Lady-"

"Why do you call me 'milady' or 'Lady Sango'?"

"You are a lady, are you not?"

"You know what I mean!"

"To...to show...my affection for you. I thought you knew that."

"I know it's just-"

"You don't feel the same?"

It was now or never. She had to tell him or her heart would simply burst! She looked up at him, trying to muster up her courage. She never felt so afraid before. Why was this so hard?

"Every night gets longer

And this fire is getting stronger babe

I'll swallow my pride

And I'll be alive

Can't you hear my call

I surrender all..."

Only one thing came to her mind of what she had to do.

"Forgive me," she said.

Miroku was puzzled at that and worried that she was turning him down. But that soon changed when she had rushed to his side drawing his face down to hers with her hands before embracing his lips with her own.

'Good Kami, what am I doing?' she thought. 'What have I done?'

But Miroku didn't seem to mind as he wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her closer into his body. His hands moved up her back running through her hair and Sango reveled in the feeling of complete bliss. The taste of him she longed for, and she wanted more of him, Kami she wanted more! However, feeling that she had taken too much too soon, she stepped away from him, her face flushed.

"I surrender everything

To feel the chance to live again

I reach to you

I know that you can feel it too

We'd make it through

A thousand dreams I still believe

I'd make you give them all to me

I'd hold you in my arms

And never let go

I surrender."

"Why would you apologize for something like that?" Miroku asked, still breathless.

"I...may have been too...forward."

"Forward?" he asked laughing. "Never! But why not reveal your heart to me sooner?"

"Does it really matter?" she asked encircling her arms around his neck. "All we have is the present, right now. It's no use dwelling on past actions, for they were foolish."

"Right here, right now

O give my life to live agian

I'll break free, take me

My everything I surrender all to you".

~~~~~~~~~~

"Even in her dreams, the girl still resists. What a strong will. It will be difficult to bend, let alone break."

"What do you suggest we do, Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"Her heart holds a secret fear. We must unleash it in order to weaken her. Let us intervene with a small nightmare."

"With pleasure my lord."

~~~~~~~~~~

My my, more twists and turns, just when you thought you've figured everything out and thought it was going to turn out just fine. What exactly is Sango's true fear? And why has Sesshoumaru taken a special interest in her? I'm sure that before these questions are answered completely, many more will plague your mind. The answer of course will come in your further reading. Thank you for reading and reviewing, and sending in your emails. As mentioned before, I enjoy reading them; always a pleasure.
