Summary: Sango can't stand Miroku's womanizing any longer and Kagome forces Inuyasha to comfort her. After catching Inuyasha and Sango in an intresting hug, Miroku takes off. Inuyasha begins to fall for Sango and she can't decide who to choose.
Bizarre Love Triangle
Sunny afternoon, all the villagers were repairing their destroyed homes after a demon attacked the village. Inuyasha and the gang were invited to stay for dinner in a villager's home as a thanks for saving them. Miroku gazed upon beautiful woman, Kagome and Shippo drooled at the yummy feast they were about to devour, Inuyasha muttered under his breath after being "sitted" so many times at Kagome's command, and Sango oozed green as she glared at the lecherous monk flirting with the girls.
"Oh Miroku, you're so strong." A girl teased as she felt his muscles.
"And you're cute too." Another giggled, playing with his hair.
The monk smiled happily as the two women played with him.
Sango couldn't stand the sight of him and the women. She always felt as if she is never good enough for him. She averted her eyes as soon her and Miroku made eye contact. Inuyasha and Kagome noticed the awkwardness between the two and also glared at Miroku.
"Inuyasha, you think we should tell Miroku to down it a bit with the girls?" Kagome asked.
"Why?"
Kagome looked over at Sango. "Sango's heart is shattering inside. I could see the pain in her eyes. Why don't you help her take her mind off him for a moment."
"What? Why me? You're a girl right? Can't you do it?" Inuyasha whined.
"I already gave her all the knowledge I have about boys and I don't really know what else to say. Go talk to her and you'll probably help her take her mind off him. Besides, when girls listen to advice from guys, it makes us think a lot more about it."
"But what makes you think I know about girl stuff? Come on Kagome! You just want all the food for yourself God your fat-"
"Sit boy!!" Kagome commanded and Inuyasha crashed through the floor. "Now go talk to her!"
"Dammit Fine! Just stop saying that!" Inuyasha groaned scraping her face off the floor.
Sango stared down at her food and clutched onto her skirt. Inuyasha walked to the other side and stood beside Sango, she looked up at the half demon.
"Let's go." He said.
"What?" She blinked a few times.
"Let's go out for some fresh air." He said nudging her to go with him.
"Uhh..ok." She said as she stared with a blank expression on her face.
Sango stood up and they both walked out of the hut.
Sango glanced back at Miroku and sighed.
"Sango?"
"Yes?" She turned to face him.
"Why do you keep hurting yourself?" He questioned.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Miroku. We both know you are in love with the monk. But he's a womanizer and I don't get what you see in a guy like that. Aren't you just hurting yourself by liking a guy like that?" He asked.
"Ugh." Sango scoffed. "It's not really any of your business with what I see in Miroku!" Sango exclaimed.
"Hey! Kagome's the one who told me to pry into your freakin soul. It's not like I want to know. She's just making me your therapist just so she can eat all the food!" He complained.
" Well you know what?! I don't know why I am so in love with him! I don't know! He's-He's always there for me and he acts like he cares about me, he's always so worried when I'm hurt and he tries to make me feel better and...and it's like it's all pretend once he finds a beautiful girl to ask if she could bear his child!! Why does he even bother? Why do I even try! He's so clueless about how I feel towards him and I try to be strong about but I just break down inside!" Sango fell to her knees and cried.
Inuyasha stared at the defenseless demon slayer and crouched in front of her.
"I can't help but care about him...he's all I think about. And it's like he doesn't even care. I'm not good enough for him. I'm not-"
"Shut up already!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into an embrace. "Just shut up. Stop hating yourself for some stupid guy. He's not worth your tears. If he doesn't think your good enough for him then he's not worth your time. Your only hurting yourself by not letting go. I know it hurts to lose someone you really care about, but what are you going to gain from it if they don't feel the same way. It's pointless being a one way street. Miroku can be a jackass but he's my friend. he's not a bad guy. He's just to much of a womanizer to focus on one woman. He doesn't deserve a great girl like you Sango. You are beautiful in any man's eyes, and whoever can't see that must be stupid and blind." Inuyasha finished still holding her tightly.
Inuysha's words made Sango feel better and she smiled into his shoulder as tears slid down her cheeks, soaking his robe.
Inside the villager's home, Kagome and Shippo finished eating dinner and Miroku's women left to go bathe in the hot springs.
"I'll go join you lovely ladies in a minute!" Miroku called out and walked over to Kagome and Shippo.
"Hey Miroku, done flirting with those girls?" Shippo asked.
"They went to the hot springs." He said.
"They have hot springs here? I didn't see anything when we got here. Aww man, a bath sounds real great right about now." Kagome sighed.
"You guys can join us if you'd like. Oh, and where's Sango? It's like I haven't seen her all day."
"She was sitting next to you for at least an hour while you were flirting with those girls earlier. Man, poor Sango was forced to watch you guys the whole time." Shippo shook his head.
"Really? Agh! Where is she?" Miroku asked looking around.
"She went out with Inuyasha for some fresh air." Kagome pointed out.
"I'll go get her." Miroku stood up and left.
"Hmm, I wonder how Inuyasha did with giving Sango a talk." Kagome thought.
Outside Miroku walked away from the hut and spotted Sango and Inuyasha.
"Sango! Inuyasha! Let's-" Miroku paused as he watched the two from afar wrapping their arms around each other.
"Sango, you don't need to change yourself for anyone, you are amazing just the way you are. Strong, talented, and beautiful." Inuyasha said.
"Th-thankyou Inuyasha..." Sango pulled away for a second to face Inuyasha. She stared into his golden eyes as he stared into her dark browns.
Her breathing was shallow and she slowly leaned in to close the gap between their lips....until.
"M-Miroku!" Sango gasped as she noticed Miroku standing before them as he looked down upon his two friends who's lips were to meet.
"Sango." Miroku spoke with sadness as he turned around and left.
