Chapter 2: The Choice of a Demon Slayer
Miroku raised an eyebrow, " What do you want to tell me?" He asked Sango once more. Sango
sighed and sat up. " Uh, I forgot. Can you give me time to think?" She replied. Miroku stood up and
nodded. Miroku left, and Kagome with her yellow backpack strapped on, entered. Kagome seated
herself next to Sango who had a confused face on. " what happened, Sango? Did you tell him?"
Kagome said, full of excitement. Sango shook her head in diappointment. " I just couldn't tell him." she said sadly. Kagome shook her head. " Tsk.. Tsk..," She tsked as she grabbed Sango's hand.
" I can't believe it! Why could you not have told him? He desserves to know, he has a right to know he is the father of that baby. He worries and cries because of that curse, and you don't tell him.
Come on! I'll help you." Kagome replied as she walked torwards Miroku who was writing in his journal. Sango was full of fear, what if he rejected her? What if he stopped loving her? All of these thoughts ran through her head wildly as she approached him slowly. Sango stalled a few feet away from him, but Kagome gave her a slight push and moved her in front of her. Miroku closed his journal and looked up at Sango. " Are you done thinking?" He said, his voice full of wonder. When Sango looked back, Kagome had already left. Such erupted sighs came from Sango, Miroku began to wonder if what she was about to say was serious. Sango nodded and sat down next to him. " Miroku, do you remember that night on your birthday?" She began. Miroku looked at the wall, " Not really. He replied. " Please tell me what this has to do with me." He told Sango. And so Sango began to tell him. Flashback It was Miroku's Birthday, it was planned at night. Sango began to wonder what to give to him, since she knew of nothing of what he liked. Then she remembered what he said out loud yesterday, " The only thing I want is for you to bear my child." he said to her. Sango scoffed at that thought, and kept walking torwards the campfire. Miroku stood up and began to say what he wanted." I appreciate this birthday, you've guys planned, but I prefer to not have a birthday." he concluded. Everyone noddedd, because they remembered that as he gets older, his windtunnel gets bigger. Everyone understood why so they all decided to go to sleep. Sango fell asleep away from the others in the middle of the forest, and she woke up quickly when she heard something approaching her from the shadows. " Who's there!?" she yelled. Then she saw a figure, a man. " Miroku," She whispered, and she was right it was Miroku, but something was different of him
she noticed right away. He was drunk and half awake. He passed her and washed his face by the lake and then he was fully restored, he stopped at the sight of Sango. " Sango, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be sleeping with the others?" He asked her , now that he was different and finally himself again. Sango nodded." Yeah, but I want to get away for them for a while, so I'm sleeping out here today." She replied. Miroku nodded, he was about to leave when he halted and turned around and sat next to Sango. " Sango, may I.. I.. kiss you?" He asked Sango who was fully awake after he had said that. Sango's eyes widened. " W..well, go ahead it is your birthday." She said. Miroku leaned close to her and planted a kiss on Sango's cheek. Miroku was about to stand, but Sango pulled him back down and kissed him on the lips. Miroku's eyes widened he was stunned, but then he also kissed her back. Sango laid down and went to sleep with Miroku for a while but she woke up when Miroku started to fill her neck with kisses. Sango opened her eyes, " Miroku, what are you doing?" She whispered. Miroku stopped, " Sorry, I just couldn't help myself."
He told her. Miroku lay next to her and sighed. Sango looked at him, " I know what you want." she said as she sighed. " Go ahead," she said to him. Miroku raised his eyebrow. " You'd really let me?" he asked her. Sango nodded and closed her eyes. Within a few minutes Miroku was on top of her. Sango was scared now, she had never done this before. So she began to breathe uneasily. Miroku stopped. " Sango, what's wrong?" he said. Sango looked up at him. " I'm scared, I've never done this before. I don't think I'm doing alright." she said. Miroku looked down at her. " Sango, don't worry, you're doing good." He said as he leaned to kiss her. Sango huffed. " Is this your first time?" She asked him. Miroku's muscles tensed from embarresment. " Yeah, it is." He said shyly. Sango threw her head back and held on to Miroku's shoulders as he began to push her again. She began to sweat and moan, she knew that she was getting tired as well, although she was only on the ground doing nothing. Miroku stopped and removed himself from on top of her and laid beside her. They went to sleep together , they were so tired they had been up for more than 2 hours doing it. The next day, Sango woke up to see that Miroku was gone and her clothes were back on, as if they had never done it or even slept together. " probaly, a dream," She said to herself. But in a couple of minutes she had discovered that she had been bleeding from her private area and she still was. She went to Kaede's to examine her and Kaede told her it was nothing to worry about because it was what happened after something had been pushed into her body. Kaede frowned at Sango, " Did ye have sex with anybody?" she asked Sango. Sango looked down in shame, " yes, lady Kaede.. with Miroku.. I am so shamed." She said sadly. Kaede laughed out loud, and Sango couldn't find what was so funny about it. Kaede stopped and cleared her throat, " sorry, but everyone already knew this was going to happen one day, Sango. But, you must take care of yourself now, because ye are pregnant." The old hag told the demon slayer. Sango left and traveled with the gang once more, but she noticed that Miroku was acting normal, as if nothing had happened between them. " Miroku, what happened to you last night?" Sango asked Miroku. Miroku put on a face of concentration, " well, I remember drinking alot of sake and then wiping out." he told her. It hit Sango, flat on the face
she now knew that he recalled of nothing. End of Flashback Sango had her head down, she was embarressed for what she had told Miroku. Miroku was stunned he had nothing else to say. Miroku straightened up and coughed. " Uh.. geez.. is this what you wanted to tell me?" he asked Sango. Sango nodded, " Yes, but I was scared and couldn't help to bring myself to tell you about the pregnancy." She replied. Miroku looked up to the ceiling, " So, how long has it been?" He asked her. Sango looked up to him, she knew that he was stunned from what she had told him. " 5 months." she replied. Miroku scratched his head. " Am I the father of this baby?" He asked. So many questions he had to ask her now that he knew. Sango played with the edges of her kimono, she was nervous. " Yes, I am very sure. You are the father of this baby, and the only person I have slept with since." She responded. Miroku sighed, " Are you sure?" He said. Sango sighed, a little annoyed. " Yes, Miroku! I'm sure it's your baby, you're the father." Miroku nodded. " Okay, so why do you hide your belly? Why don't you leave you stomach stick out normally?" He asked her. Sango blushed, " I've been hiding the belly from you. But I will leave it like this for now on. It'll be a shock torwards Inuyasha though." She told him. Miroku's eyes widened. " What? Do you mean to tell me that, everyone else except Inuyasha, knew of you being pregnant, but not me!?" he shouted. Sango winced. " Yes, I'm so sorry ,Miroku. I hope that you will forgive me, I know what I have done is wrong." She confessed to him. Miroku took in air and let it out slowly. " It's okay, Sango. I'm glad you decided to tell me now. Or else I would still be worrying about my windtunnel." He said. Sango was hugged by Miroku, " Oh, Thank you, thank you! Sango!" He cried. Sango melted into his hugged and relaxed. " The hard part has passed," Sango thought. 3 hours later Sango had taken a nap and awoken to Inuyasha's gasp. She listened closely, her ear pressed against the door. " She's what!? Pregnant!? How!?" He shouted in disbelief. Sango came out and looked at Inuyasha, she could tell he was surprised. Kagome patted Inuyasha on the back. " Inuyasha, be happy , you're going to be an uncle!" Kagome said happily. Inuyasha sighed and sat down. " okay, it's alright." he said to Miroku. Miroku smiled at him and jumped in the air.
