Mirror [ Miroku and Sango (Inuyasha) ]

For:  Eva

Word Count: 134

Note: Aaagh. Pretend Miroku says things like this. =_=;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes, she feels the urge to borrow Kagome's pocket mirror or look in still water, and stare at her reflection.

Just to see what he sees in her when he says she's beautiful.

Sometimes she thinks he says this in jest, or to catch her off guard, but sometimes she isn't sure. He always makes it difficult to be sure. Even now, as he smiles and offers to hold Kirara so she can easily redo the tie that holds Hiraikotsu, he exudes innocence that isn't quite like innocence.

She hands him Kirara anyway.

You're a lucky fellow, he murmurs to the purring cat in his arms, stuck with a pretty girl like Sango.

In lieu of mirrors and still water, she gazes at herself in his eyes.

Part of her thinks she understands now.
