Disclaimer: much to my complete dismay, I don't own Inuyasha and also to my complete dismay, I probably never will...that is until I take over the world! que evil laughter
Author's note: this chapter is dedicated to my friend Bree, because she is always harassing me for new stuff to read so that's why I began this new fic! Yay!
As long as you're mine
Chapter one
"Prince Miroku! You look so nice today!" someone says to me and I thank them without thinking
"Finally, the big day has come! Let's just hope this time nothing happens" another man says.
"Yes, let's hope" I reply
"Miroku! Let's get a move on!" Inuyasha yells at me, "Kagome just said that Sango is ready and so is everyone else!"
I nod and follow Inuyasha out of the room and into the hallway leading into the chapel. I wring my hands nervously; I wasn't expecting to be this nervous.
So much has happened to lead to this day and now that I look back on it, I don't think that anyone would believe my story if they cared to hear it. I look around the corner to the door and I know that Sango lies beyond it. The doors to the chapel open and Inuyasha and I walk to the front of the room and stand next to the priest.
"Nervous?" Inuyasha asks both seriously and sarcastically
"Of course not" I reply, lying of course, but I cannot let Inuyasha know that, for I know that if he truly know how nervous I was he would never let me forget it.
The chapel doors open once more, revealing Sango, my bride and my love. She smiles at me when I make eye contact and I smile in return. She is on the arm of my father, who is escorting her down the isle and into my arms. Looking at her reminds me once more of the events leading to this wonderful day and I fear I will not be able to go any further unless I tell someone, ANYONE all that has happened.
Knowing this, I walk from my place from beside the priest, past Sango and my father and out the doors of the chapel. I return to the room I began in and sat on a couch with my head in my hands.
"The next person that comes in this room" I say to no one in particular, mostly myself, "will hear all of the events from these past months. No matter whom they are"
The door opens slightly and Sango peers in the room, "Miroku?" she asks softly, "Are you all right?"
"Sango, it's you" I say, looking up, "and I am all right"
"Then what's wrong?" she asks, walking into the room and sitting beside me on the couch, "you can tell me" she says, taking my hands in her own and gazing into my eyes.
"Do you remember everything that has happened Sango?" I ask
"No, not everything. But I do remember some things. Why do you ask?"
"Because that is why I left. No one here knows everything that has happened; only I and I needed to tell someone my account of the past moths before I can move forward with my life"
"So then tell me Miroku" she says and I know that she wants to hear everything I have to say, and not because I am the prince, but because she truly cares, "tell me everything so we can move forward with our lives, together" she squeezes my hand gently when she says together and I smile at her.
"You truly care to know?" I ask
"You said you were going to tell the next person who entered this room no matter, who they were, so why are you asking?" she asks
"How did you know I said that?"
"Your father was going to come in instead of me and when I heard you say that, I knew that I was meant to be the one you told. Because I want to listen and I want to know" she says and I know she is sincere
"Very well Sango, I will tell you and then we will be wed"
Sango smiles at me and leans back on the couch to get into a comfortable position, she knows as well as I that this may take a while.
"Where should I start?" I ask
"From the very beginning" she says, "I want to know EVERYTHING"
"Very well then, the beginning it is." I say, "Well, it started a few months ago when Inuyasha and I were trying to find a way to avoid attending a upcoming ball..."
"Miroku! Inuyasha! I need both of you to come here for a moment!" the queen called from her chambers
"Inu! Let's go!" Miroku yelled, running down the stairs of the castle, in the opposite direction of the queen's chambers.
"We are going to be in so much trouble when your mom catches us you know!" Inuyasha yelled after Miroku as they ran out of the castle, down the hill and into the village at the foot of the hill.
They stopped to catch their breath and then smiled as they looked at each other.
"You said you didn't want to go to the ball," Miroku said
"Yeah, I know that, but I didn't want to get put on your mom's shit list because of it"
"It'll be fine"
"No it won't. But we mind as well have some fun for the day while were here"
"You're right. But what can we do? We've never been here," Miroku asked, looking around the village.
"Look there" Inuyasha said, pointing towards a central area in the village.
"What? I don't see anything" he said and then walked closer. He smiled and then turned back to Inuyasha, "but I seen something now!"
"What? What do you see?"
"Look there" Miroku said, pointing at two girls, one appeared older than the other, but they were both equally beautiful.
"God dammit Miroku! Are girls all you ever think about?" Inuyasha asked, smacking Miroku on the head.
"Possibly" Miroku said with a smile and began to walk towards the girls.
"Miroku! Get back here!" Inuyasha yelled and then ran after him.
"Hello" Miroku said charmingly as he approached what appeared to be the eldest of the two girls.
"Hello" she replied coldly
"Is there something the matter?" he asked
"Nothing at all, so would you please leave me alone?" she said and began to walk away
"Wait!" Miroku said, grabbing her arm, "just give me a chance, okay?" he asked
"You're not going to take no for an answer are you?" she asked, obviously irritated.
Miroku grinned and shook his head, "no" he replied
The girl looked to her companion, who was talking to a tall, white-haired man with dog-ears.
"Is he with you?" she asked, pointing to Inuyasha
"Yes" Miroku replied, "Does this mean you won't be leaving?"
"I suppose not," she said
"So how about you tell me your name," he said
She sighed and rolled her eyes, "fine"
"So...what is it?" he asked
"Sango"
Author's note: that's kinda short but whatever. Yeah I'll give u a little sneak peak of my next chapter:
"You know, you're really not as bad as I thought you would be" Sango said as she sat on the bench next to Miroku, "I feel like I've known you my whole life"
"Well, there is something I need to tell you" he said, "I'm a-"
"Prince Miroku! Thank goodness we found you. Your mother is furious and you and Inuyasha need to return to the castle at once" a guard said, arriving on horseback and getting off the horse so Miroku could ride.
Sango looked at Miroku with a look of pure shock and Miroku smiled and said, "I'm a prince"
