Miroku's Reply
By Sango
It's been a while since that night, that night I told Miroku I love him and he never heard it. Again I find myself walking next to him yet again. He has his eyes forward, and I see a smile on his face. And I am giving him shifty sideways looks. For a moment I look ahead and close my eyes . . .jingle jingle I know that sound Miroku's staff. I love listening to it, well that and his voice.
Oh, why did I lie last night? I do love him, but I can't tell him . . . lecher. If he didn't grope me I would tell him how I feel. Then again if he wasn't a lecher I may not have fallen I love. After all, being a lecherous monk is part of Miroku. Maybe it's just me, I mean I am too hard on him? Maybe him groping me is just normal. Wait a minute, wow I must be drunk on love to think like that. Miroku is a lecher and it is bad!
Still if I love him shouldn't I let him know or at least hint at it. After all, I can tell him when he's asleep. The again those eyes can totally arouse my suspicions. Oh how I wish I could know what goes on through his mind, and tell what his eyes are hiding. Every time I see those eyes it scares me. So should I tell him, I want to. It's just his eyes that's why I can't tell him. No, I will not just settle I can tell him if he won't become a lecher.
Suddenly I feel him he's touched my hand. I glance up he's looking at me, a kind smile in his face. Has it been so long? Perhaps he is not a lecher, perhaps I have been thinking for years and not noticed and he has changed. I know it was morning when I began, and now the sun has set. Has Miroku said nothing? That is surprising! Well I guess I have to tell him. "Um Miroku?"
"Yes, Sango?"
"I . . . I am afraid last night when, I woke you up, I did day something."
"You said you didn't."
"Miroku, I'm sorry I lied, I want to tell you though, I only said it last night because I thought you were asleep."
"I was." he replied.
Wow I was right! I actually read his eyes correctly. I feel blush flow into my cheeks.
"Sango are you all right?"
"Yes, so may I tell you what I said, but I want to tell you my thoughts."
Miroku's face fell he must be worried its bad. "All right"
"I think when you want to be your sweet, caring, and a non-lecherous monk. However your memorizing blue-violet eyes always trick me. Everything you do I never know what you're thinking." Okay do I tell him now? After all I rambled on long enough. Hmm he looks surprised is that good or bad? I take a deep breath move out of my mind and into my heart. "I love you Miroku."
Miroku is speechless. His eyes wide for once hiding nothing! I finally take my chance to make it happen somehow I put my hands on his shoulders. He is still speechless not moving.
Finally he looks at me. "You do?"
"Yes I love you." it been so easy to say and so hard to do, I close my eyes move in our lips meet. He runs his hand through my hair and holds my shoulder.
"Really you love me?"
"Always" I mummer against his lips "and forever." As he take my breath away.
