To My Love
Prologue
The battle with Naraku was finally finished. All the years of chasing the jewel shards had at last come to an end. The gang was getting ready to part for the last time, the day they have been all dreading. InuYasha and Shippo were going to live in Kagome's time, and Sango and Miroku would be staying in the Feudal Area, back to their own villages.
The final good-bye was harder than they thought. There were many tears shed, promises made and hugs received. With a last wave from Kagome, a very friendly 'feh' from InuYasha and a miniature tackle from Shippo; they disappeared into the well...
Sango stared quietly at the ground as she trudged her way back to Kaede's hut, where she would spend her last night before she journeyed back home.
The lecherous monk was walking a fast pace ahead of her, eager to get back to his village.
But who could blame him? After Sango had full on rejected him, he didn't want to pester her again. Those hurtful words echoed in Sango's mind, "I cared about you Sango, but I guess I was foolish to have ever thought that you'd feel the same way." However she did feel the same way, she just didn't realize it until she almost lost him at the battle with Naraku.
How can I explain?
The feelings pushed inside of me, with only me to blame.
The sun had set and Sango sat outside of the hut just watching the stars. In a few hours Miroku would be leaving her life. She might never see him again; never have the chance to tell him...
Please don't go away.
You're all that I think about,
You're the only one I love.
Every night I lay awake,
Debating what to say.
Should I say something before he goes away?
Sango groaned and rolled over. Those damn birds... why did they have to wake her up so early? ... Oh yeah, today was the day she and Miroku would have to separate. Sango couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes. She quickly wiped them away, not knowing that a certain monk was watching.
Minutes and hours go by,
And our time has come to part.
I know I should tell him,
What's really in my heart.
Miroku and Sango looked at each other expectedly, with nothing to say. So, like a friend, she gave him a warm but genuine smile. In return he looked deep into her eyes and waited... as if he expected her to say something... anything..
The coward that I am,
Stands there with nothing to say.
Seconds went by, which felt like eternity before he sighed in defeat and turned away. Sango felt so stupid, so useless, the list went on and on. She opened her mouth to speak but it was already too late..
With a hug goodbye, he leaves.
Tears rolling down my cheeks as I turn away.
She stood there for a long time, not moving, not blinking, she didn't even know if she was even breathing. Her legs suddenly gave way from under her and she collapsed... weeping. She had a year!!! A year to tell him how she felt, but she chickened out and now she had to pay the price.
The boy that I have grown to love is gone forever,
But in my heart he shall stay.
For the first time, Sango had felt what it was like to be Miroku after the countless times she rejected him, or slapped him. For the first time Sango felt... alone.
Note-I need idea's should this be a oneshot or should I continue on?? Please help..
