Miroku sneaks around the palace, not wanting to be seen by his parents. He knows his mother is sleeping, but his father hardly ever sleeps. Finally he makes it to the stables, he quickly changes into more modest clothes. He runs up to his horse, gets onto it, and rides it to the town common.
He gets off the horse and sends it back to the palace, knowing Shippo will sent a carriage and guards to come and get him when they find out that he left.
He looks around the square, happy he remembered to bring his money. There are stands for roasted almonds, fine hats, exquisite suit jackets, fresh fruit, etc. He wanders through the stands, looking at all the items. He walks towards a fruit stand, but decides he doesn't want it at the last second, and turns around, running into a girl, knocking both of them over.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to-" he starts to apologize, scooting over to sit next to the girl.
"It's ok, I'm sure you didn't mean to. It's nothing." Sango interrupts, having heard it all before.
"My name is Miroku." Miroku says, trying to keep who he is secret.
"My name is Sango." Sango responds, sticking out her hand for a handshake.
Suddenly, Sango feels a hand on her behind, and she stiffens. "What the-"
Miroku grabs her hand, causing her to turn her head and look at him. "Sango, will you bear my children?"
Sango sits there, stunned into silence. Just as Miroku thought she was going to say yes, she slapped him so hard that he is still feeling it as she walks away.
"She didn't say no!" Miroku says pumping his fist in the air.
"She slapped you, you idiot." Miroku turns to see Shippou standing there, the carriage behind him. "Now please get in the carriage, Your Highness."
"Why can't I just stay here?"
"Your parents will be furious." Shippou says, his face getting scared. "You know how your father gets when he is angry! Once he tried to cut off my tail!"
"But why are they mad? I'm going to be king someday, shouldn't I get to meet the people?"
"He's a prince!" Sango says quietly to herself as she hid behind one of the bread stands.
"Not if you keep asking girls to bear your children! Your mother is afraid that one day, one of them will actually take you up on that offer! Now let's go."
Miroku sighs, gets into the carriage and goes back to the large beautiful palace.
"I just rejected a prince!" Sango cries, burying her face in her hands in embarrassment. Suddenly, one of the clocks in the town struck 11:30, telling her to finish with her shopping and head to Madame Kaguya's house.
She quickly gathered up her purchases in her basket, and headed back, not wanting to be late.
A.N ~ Hello Humans! I recently got this idea when I was talking to a friend about this setup. I have always noticed that in every Inuyasha fanfic, Inuyasha and Kagome are always the lead characters. Which I understand, they are the main characters of the anime, but the anime is their story! While I understand that some authors have specific ideas about these characters that can only work with certain characters, some of them just put them in roles that they don't seem to fit into. Then they are acting out of character, just to fit those roles.
Which brings me to Miroku. There is really only 2 options of how to write him character wise. You can either write him slightly pervy and caring or overly pervy and not really caring. I've seen him written both ways, and enjoy both ways equally, but I wrote him in the way I did because I think that he is a supportive character, but still REALLY likes women. So I didn't write him as the stereotypical prince, but as Miroku as a prince. I hope you enjoy my version of Cinderella! I'm going to introduce Kagome and Inuyasha in the next character!
