Miroku's True Feelings
Chapter 1: The Hidden
Inuyasha and the others were all sound asleep when Miroku awoke to a noise.
What was that? Miroku looked around to see if anybody was around.
Miroku sighed then raised up into sitting position. He smiled as he looked over at Sango. He wanted to tell her how he truly felt about her, but he didn't want to give up flirting with other girls in order to have such a commitment. Miroku stared at his cursed right hand and thought about Sango Naraku, his past his future.
Sango awoke to the sound of Miroku wrestling around. She went to sit up and ask him what was wrong, but he began talking.
"Sango," he laughed, "how I enjoy being with you. From the short conversations to the stinging pain on the side of my face of which you slap me, I enjoy every second of it."
Sango went to speak, thinking he was actually talking to her when Miroku spoke back up a gain, "But I don't know if I could carry out such a commitment and I doubt you would even think of spending the rest of your life with me," he sighed, "…But someday I will tell you how I feel so that I can get this secret obsession off my chest."
Miroku lied back down and fell back asleep quickly. Sango was astonished over what she had just heard.
Am I awake? Or am I simply dreaming? she thought, confused.
Sango then drifted back into her sleep and the night passed by.
-The Next Morning-
Sango awoke the next morning to the sound of giggling. She stood up and looked around to see that nobody was there.
I wonder where everyone ran off to, Sango thought.
She shrugged, then folded up her pallet that she had slept on and sat it next to Kagome's backpack along with the rest of them. The fire was still burning a bit so she stomped out the flames. She then followed the laughing throughout the forest until she came across everyone. They were all splashing each other in the river, having a good time. Sango smiled at the sight of everyone soak and wet.
"Hey sleepyhead!" Inuyasha greeted Sango.
"Gotcha!" Kagome splashed a huge wave onto Inuyasha.
"Why you!" Inuyasha then began chasing Kagome around the river.
Miroku laughed, then got out of the water and wrung out his sleeves. His wet hair clung to his forehead and excess water dripped from their tips.
"It looks like you all are having fun," Sango said happily.
"Yeah," Miroku sighed, then sat next to Sango.
Now is the time. I must tell her now, Miroku thought.
"Sango-"
Miroku had began to talk to her when a huge wave of water drenched the two of them.
"Hey!" Sango screamed.
"Oops," Kagome laughed and ran off in the water as Sango jumped in to chase her. Inuyasha soon joined in
and the three of them laughed as they splashed along in the water.
Miroku sighed.
"What's wrong Miroku?" Shippo asked, coming out from the bushes.
"Nothing…say! What were you doing in the bushes! Where you spying on me?" Miroku began to jump to conclusions and get nervous. If Shippo knew that he might be wanting to talk to Sango about his feelings, Shippo would for sure end up telling Kagome and Inuyasha. Then he would never get to speak to Sango privately because they would be peaking around every corner, watching his every move and hearing every word he says.
"I was hiding from Inuyasha, Kagome, and you. I didn't want to get all cold and wet in the river. I knew if you guys seen me, then I would for sure get drenched," Shippo explained.
"I see," Miroku smiled to himself, relieved that Shippo wasn't spying on him.
Miroku and Shippo sat back and watched the others enjoy themselves in the river.
"Come on you two! You can't sit there forever!" Kagome signaled for Miroku and Shippo to come join them, but Miroku was too deep in thought to notice and Shippo had already hid himself back in the bushes.
Inuyasha and Kagome were still splashing each other when Sango looked over and noticed Miroku.
Why is he so gloomy? Sango wondered.
"Hey Miroku!" Sango called.
Miroku's chain of thought was broken when he heard Sango's voice, "Huh?"
"What's wrong? You look sad," she said as she began walking up towards him and the shore. She wrung out her sleeves just as Miroku did and her hair was just as wet as his.
"Oh…nothing…I'm just thinking," he replied.
"About what?" Sango fixed her ponytail and sat next to Miroku.
"Do you ever wonder what will happen to all of us when we defeat Naraku…and when we finish collecting the Jewel Shards of the Shikon Jewel is complete? Will we all still be friends…or will we all go our separate ways with ought a word to each other?" Miroku said.
"I think about that sometimes…I think I would go search for Kohaku…since he would be released from Naraku's grasp. I'm sure we'd all run into each other every-once-in-a-while," Sango answered.
"Hm," Miroku agreed, "I would help you look for Kohaku if you would like…that is after Naraku is dead. I wouldn't be much help now, considering the fact that Naraku controls Kohaku," Miroku said.
"That would be nice, Miroku. Thank you," Sango smiled.
Why can't Miroku be like this more often? Instead he's always grabbing at my butt, Sango thought.
Inuyasha and Kagome struggled out of the water, laughing, and collapsed on the land.
"Are you two okay?" Sango laughed.
Neither of them answered. They were laughing so hard that they could barely stand up.
"So, are we all ready?" Inuyasha leaned up against a tree so he wouldn't collapse back onto the ground
again.
"Are you sure you two shouldn't rest up first? You look exhausted," Miroku suggested.
"No…we'll be fi-"
"Yes, I think we should all dry out our clothes and regain our strength. I don't know about you all, but that
wore me out," Kagome said after interrupting Inuyasha.
"It looks like we'll be spending the rest of the day and another night here," Sango said.
