A dream Sango never thought she'd experience is playing out in front of her eyes.


Chapter 1:

Sango stood beside Kagome outside of the campsite, their eyes trained on the stars. It was a cool night, though there were no clouds, making the stars all the more bright. She smiled slightly, her eyes drifting from the sky to Miroku as he stood a few feet away. She blushed as his eyes turned to her, glittering brightly in the light of the fire.

Sango looked away, her face heating as he stood up, moving slowly toward her.

She began to shift as he stopped beside her, his eyes unwavering as he looked down at her. "Kagome"? He said suddenly as the girl beside Sango looked at him curiously.

"Yeah"? She said brightly as Miroku smiled at her.

"Can you give us a moment"?

Sango froze as the words left his mouth, radiating through her body until it finally reached her brain.

I know you
I walked with you
Once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
I know it's true that visions
Are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know
What you'll do.. you'll love me
At once the way you did

She turned, watching Kagome walk away smoothly toward Inuyasha.

Licking her lip, she glanced back at Miroku who was looking at her silently. Sango began to quiver, forcing her gaze in the opposite direction as Miroku continued to stare. Miroku cleared his throat loudly, drawing her attention back to him. "Come with me". He said softly, his smile twinkling behind his smooth lips.

Sango opened her mouth, turning back to the others as they sat happily around the fire. "The others".

"They will not mind". He said, smoothly taking her hand as her eyes slowly fell back on his.

Once upon a dream
I dreamed we'd be together in love forever

once upon a night
I was wishing for a never
A never ending. Once upon a time
Once upon a night
Once upon a wish
Once upon a dream

Miroku led the way down the hillside, his hand clenched firmly around hers as Sango blushed profusely next to him. After walking just far enough so that they were out of ear shot, Miroku stopped, turning to face her.

Sango's eyes moved around them, falling finally on the silvery river beside them. Miroku raised his hand, slowly placing it against her cheek as she jumped.

Sango stared up into Miroku's dark eyes, her heart quickening as his lips pursed. "Sango". He said as she nodded.

I know you, I danced with you
Once upon a night..
There we were wishing this dance
Would last forever all the time.
I hope it's true this vision
Is more than what it seems.
Cause if dreams come true
I know what we'll do
We'll dance once again
The way we did then.
Upon a dream

Sango gulped as Miroku's hand fell away, trailing down the length of her arm. "What is it Miroku"? She said shakily as Miroku shook his head.

"It's you". He said after a long pause.

Sango's mind began swimming with images of moments they'd had together. Shaking her head, she pushed those thoughts away.

Once upon a time
I dreamed we'd be together
In love forever
Once upon a night
I was wishing for a never
A never ending

"What do you mean"? She said watching as Miroku examined her with his eyes.

Something about his gaze scared her, it wasn't because it was particularly scary, but it was what his eyes revealed. Something about his gaze showed that he was thinking of her. What could he be planning? What is it he was thinking?

"I deamt of you Sango. Each night since we met". He said with a smile that made her heart twitter faster.

Once upon a time
Once upon a night
Once upon a wish
Once upon a dream

"What"? Sango said, her face a bright pink as Miroku nodded.

Taking her other hand, he stared strongly into her eyes as he spoke. "I love you Sango".

Her heart stopped for a moment, quickly regaining itself as his words sunk in. Many times she had dreamed of him saying this to her, but never did she imagine he would actually do it.

Once upon a night
I was wishing for a never
A never ending
Once upon a time
Once upon a night
Once upon a wish
Once upon a love
Once upon a dream

Miroku looked at her expectingly as she nodded quickly. "I love you too". She whispered as his face brightened.

Reaching out quickly he cupped her cheek, drawing her lips forcefully into his as his arm snaked around her lower back. Sango blinked as their lips intwined. Closing her eyes, she could hear Kagome cheering in the distance. Smiling against his lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Parting gingerly, Sango's hands trailed down his chest as she leaned her head against the nape of his neck.

Once upon a dream.. Once upon a dream
