Stolen True One

Chapter 3. Stop pretending-get real

This chapter is dedicated to Sango and Miroku, who I think is the most obvious couple in the whole series for obvious reasons (butt grabbing for example and constant blushing). However, I added some modern twists here and I hope that if you ever fall in the same situation, you are not going to use them. Just kidding:P Enjoy reading and please review!


"Hey, Sango, are you walking home after school?" Kagome asked her friend as they made their way past the crowd towards Sango's English class. They stopped near the library where Kagome planned to spend her spare time. She needed to work on her History project, and Inuyasha refused to help even though he was supposed to be her partner. He was still blowing air after the bedroom accident (the one where she kicked him out when he was going through her underwear).

Sango finally managed to get her bag closed and turned to face Kagome with a smile. "Yeah, I am. I will come to the library at the end of my English class and meet you there then."

"That's great! I will see you in an hour then." And with that, Kagome disappeared behind the old library doors. Sango hesitated a bit, and then headed for the E-wing where he English class was. She did not know what made her take the class. At first she thought that it was cool that teacher was from North America, and would only speak English to them for the lack of knowledge of Japanese, but after that, she was not really sure. The bummer was, Miroku.

"Well, who in the right Miroku mind would take that class?" she thought. "Miss Yokorishima is gorgeous." She felt sudden jealousy wash over her but she wished it aside. She had no time for it, and it really did not matter. After all, she had to deal with Miroku almost 24/7, what can one hour possibly do?

A lot of things.

But deep inside, somewhere inside her heart was a spot that was nagging her. That exact spot was 'telling' her that there was another, far more real reason for Miroku to take that class. She heard him approach from behind, and she tried to walk a bit faster. After a few seconds, she gave up. Knowing Miroku's speed, by that time he would catch up to her. Slowing down, she waited for her destiny. It never came.

Puzzled, Sango turned around and notice Miroku crouching behind, trying to avoid her. Her eyebrow arched up as she bore his eyes with hers. He took few steps toward her, covering only a small bit of distance between them.

"Are you all right, Miroku?"

"Yes, I am fine, but I do not think you are so I am talking extra precautions."

Sango laughed in spite of herself and signaled to the boy that she was perfectly fine. He relaxed and followed her. They made it to their English class and took their seats. Despite the fact that their seats were beside each other, Sango felt pretty comfortable about it. At first, she was somewhat scared, but after a couple of classes, Miroku proved to her that he could behave and she forgot her fears.

Being in English class meant a good hour of relaxation or even sleep for Sango. She and Ms. Yokorishima were on a good terms, and her teacher was aware of the girl work in the diner which required her presence there almost all of her after school time. So, when the movie time came, Ms. Yokorishima allowed Sango to have a nap, and she would let Sango borrow a movie after. The girl was grateful to her teacher and would always return a favor by convincing her manager to put something for her "on the house."

Today was the movie day, and Sango did not bother to take out her binder as she lowered her head on the desk, and let the Goddess of Sleep take her in her arms…

"Huh? Where am I?"

Sango looked around in confusion. The place looked like Feudal Era, and the girl wondered how she could end up there without hanouy's help. She cast a quick glance at herself, and recovered that she was wearing a stylish kimono of dark blue colour. She cringed for her need to change the clothing to something purple. But first, she needed to figure out how she got to where she was now.

"Ridiculous," she thought, shuffling through her thoughts. Her mind refused to provide any information in this case. Sango let out an irritated breath and based on the imagery of her surroundings, she headed towards Kaede's hut. The heat was oppressive so she took off her running shoes (?) and walked barefooted. Not before she reached the village, she heard someone calling after her. As she turned to see the person, she froze in a complete and utter shock.

"Sango-san, my dear, the baby just woke up!"

"I am dreaming," Sango thought. "Please tell me I am dreaming!"

"Sango!" Miroku called again.

"And this is the worst nightmare," she finished off her last thought before Miroku reached her. He pulled her close and handed her the baby. She could not bear any of it any longer, and so, as any normal girl who might find herself in such situation, she screamed.

"This is not happening!"…

"Sango, Sango! Wake up, Sango!"

"Huh? W-what?"

Miroku was shaking the girl by the shoulders. Ms. Yokorishima was whiter than the snow, and the students in a class looked like a bunch of ghosts at the English class party.

"I knew I should not have brought this movie," Mr. Yokorishima said and took out the DVD of Matrix out of the player. Sango could be more embarrassed. She fell asleep, scared half of the class and now because of her they are going to be miss a great movie! Now where is that trap door under my desk?

"No, no, no, Ms. Yokorishima," Sango protested. "I am sure the movie is just fine," still her teacher and the students, including Miroku, were staring at her with worry in their eyes. "I just fell asleep and had a bad dream."

"Are you sure it is not the movie?"

"I am pretty sure. Besides, I fell asleep at a very beginning so I think the movie is off the cause."

Class laughed, and Ms. Yoko smiled. Half an hour later, the bell rang and students left after saying a couple of encouraging words to Sango. She was still shaking from her dream and did not notice as her hand slipped into Miroku's.

Miroku was worried about Sango, and suddenly something twitched in her mind and she stopped dead on her tracks and gazed into Miroku's eyes. She realized that her 'nightmare' was trying to show her something. Miroku gave her a worried look.

"What's the matter? Are you all right?"

Sango continued to inspect Miroku's eyes. For the first time, after a long look, she saw something in them that she had never noticed before. Actually, she never tried to look for it. Without thinking about what she was doing, Sango took a step closer to Miroku and kissed him. Instantly, Miroku answered her kiss and the feeling sent chills down Sango's body. She was happy. When they were finally able to pull away from each other, Sango smiled at him and he hugged her.

"Miroku…I …mhmm…"

You are mumbling, her inner voice told her.

Miroku looked down at her.

"You do not have to say it if you are not ready."

She nodded, thankful. Then, they took a turn to the library to meet Kagome who was already standing outside the library, waiting for Sango. While her and Sango were discussing something very interesting, Miroku was performing his chances. But…

"Pervert!"

Some things will never change…
