InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Songs for the Heart and Soul ❯ Truth Is ( Chapter 8 )

Hello again. I'm so happy you are all enjoying this, it makes me so happy! Minmay-chan is so very sorry she hasn't updated in a long while. I might not update this fic very often, please forgive me but work is keeping me busy, and the two weeks I took off was filled with spending time with my wonderful boyfriend. (sighs happily) Anyway…

Special thanks are in order, once again.

 

Sango0808: Thank you so much. I try to hard to make all my fics different. Annoying when things happen over and over, ne? I hope you will find this songfic as different and creative as the last ones.

 

BaByXbOoX143: Here is your request, I hope this is up to par with the rest of my songfics.

 

Lu-chan: Hey girl, gomen…but I lost all the songs that you requested. (sniff) I had them written down somewhere and they got lost when my best friend was staying at my house. Would you mind e-mailing them to me again?

 

Ladysango-abc: (bows) Thank you so much for the compliment, I've filed away your request for a future songfic. Here's my update!

 

 

I do not own Inu Yasha or its respective characters.

Truth Is

 

 

Yesterday, something happened. Something unexpected. I actually ran into “him”, of all the people in this world, it had to be “him”.

 

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

 

An hour! How could anyone possibly do anything in an hour? A woman asked herself as she ran down a busy sidewalk with her purse slung precariously over her shoulder. She raced past a park when something stopped her in her tracks. Someone was calling her name, and that someone had a very familiar voice.

 

“Sango, wait! Sango!”

 

She turned around to see the owner of the voice heading her direction, waving his hands frantically. Even after all these years, his eyes hadn't lost their sparkle. His black hair was a little shorter, pulled back in a small ponytail at the nape of his neck, but that was the extent of his physical changes.

 

“Miroku, it's been a long time.” Sango greeted as she turned around to face him, a smile widening upon her face.

 

“I know. Do you have time to talk?” Miroku asked, smiling as well.

 

Sango looked at her watch. Fifteen minutes until she had to be back to work, and she'd never make it anyway. “Yeah, just one sec.” She pulled out her cell and dialed her work.

 

“Moshi Moshi, Inu Corp. This is Kagome speaking, how may I help you?”

 

“Hey, it's Sango. Could you put it down that I got sick after eating lunch today? I ran into an old friend just now…”

 

“Say no more! Leave it to me.”

 

“Thanks.” Sango said before hanging up her phone and turning to Miroku. “Let's go.”

 

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

 

 

Sango laughed as Miroku's ice cream began to melt down his hand. The sight other park-goers were greeted with was a rather handsome male licking his hand as ice cream ran down it, usually getting as much on his chin as actually in his mouth. Sango continued to laugh, that is, until her own hand became cold and sticky. Soon both grown adults were licking their sticky fingers and wiping away the ice cream on their faces.

 

Finally, the two found a bench in a partially secluded part of the vast park. Minutes and minutes past before either of them spoke.

 

“So what have you been up to, Miroku?” Sango asked.

 

“Not much. Got a great job that pays well and the most beautiful girlfriend. I have her picture somewhere.” Miroku said and began searching for the picture in his wallet.

 

Of course, past “girlfriend” everything was completely lost on Sango.

 

 

 

Ran into an old friend yesterday
Caught me by surprise when he called my name
He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past
Talked for a while, I smiled and then
Said that he was seeing somebody and
Told me this was gonna last
Showing me her photograph

 

 

Miroku pulled out a picture of a petite Chinese woman and showed it proudly to Sango. Something stirred inside the woman sitting on the bench, something she has nearly forgotten. A weak smile made itself onto her face, but she was dying on the inside.

 

 

And all the feelings I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

 

 

“Th-that's great, Miroku. I'm so happy for you.” The quiver in her voice went unnoticed by her companion.

 

“Thanks. That means a lot to hear you say that. Now let's go get something to eat, I'm starving.” Miroku grabbed her hand and practically dragged her to a local deli, all the while never realizing that his touch sent wave of electricity throughout Sango's body.

 

 

I never got over you
Wish I was standing in her shoes
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
I never should have let you go
And it's killing me 'cause now I know
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

 

 

“Remember when we had that race in the school's pool?” Miroku chuckled, thinking back.

 

“Unfortunately, yes. That and the fact that when my bikini top accidentally came off you wouldn't give it back.” Sango huffed and stabbed at her salad viciously.

 

“Aww. It was funny.” He joked.

 

“Perv.” She countered.

 

“Eh heh heh.” Came Miroku's nervous reply. Guess it would be a good time to change the subject. “Tokyo sure has changed over the years, hm?”

 

“Yes, it has. Sometimes I think it's moving in a great direction technologically…but it isn't doing that well with society.”

 

“I know,” he looked at his watch, “Damn, I have to go. It was great talking with you again, Sango.”

 

He paid for the food, Sango grabbed her things, and they left the deli. It turned out they were headed in the same direction, only Sango walked several paces behind.

 

 

We reminisce on the way things used to be
Shared a couple laughs, shared some memories
Talked about the things that changed
Some for good and some for bad
Then he said goodbye and he paid for brunch
Promised that we'd always keep in touch
Grabbed my bags and grabbed my furs, walked away and that was that

 

 

She fought hard against the tears that threatened to fall down her soft cheeks. Knowing, always knowing what she still felt. It was all her fault and she knew it, she had let the love of her life slip away.

 

 

And all the feelings I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once
Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
But I was thinking to myself

I never got over you
Wish I was standing in her shoes
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
I never should have let you go
And it's killing me 'cause now I know
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

Now the truth is it hurts but I that the fault mines
'Cause I let him go
Tried to get over it but it's messed up he's not mine

I never got over you
Wish I was standing in her shoes
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you
I never should have let you go
And it's killing me 'cause now I know
And when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still I love with you

I just gotta be honest, I guess, I guess, I'm still in love, in love, in love

 

 

 

Without realizing it, Sango had increased her speed and she was almost directly behind Miroku. He had finally noticed her, but had said nothing, just listened to her sniffles and odd words. It was tearing him up inside, not knowing how he should help her when her next words stopped him in his tracks…

 

“I can't believe it… I'm still in love with Miroku.”
