I walk as slow as I could back to camp, but somehow time seemed to go by fast because soon I was coming up to my companion's fire. Kagome's head jerked up when she caught a glimpse of me.
"Sango!" She jumps up and runs to me. Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippo look up at me.
"Sango, where have you been we've been so worried." Kagome places her hands on my shoulders.
"Sorry Kagome, I just needed to be alone for a while." I lie, I feel bad about it but I'm determined not to tell Kagome what had just occurred between Sesshomaru and I. My gaze goes to Inuyasha, who stares at me with a cold look in his eyes.
"Feh, just leave her alone Kagome. It's none of your business." Inuyasha rolls his eyes. Once again he had saved me. Miroku and I make eye contact, only for me to break it immediately.
"Let's go to bed, seeing how we got delayed today we have to start off early tomorrow." Inuyasha grabs Kagome's wrist and drags her back. I go back to the fire and lay down on Kirara.
During the night I lay awake, as Kagome, Miroku and Shippo fall asleep. I get up from Kirara, who lets out a groan.
"I'll be back girl." I pet my beloved companion's head. I walk a little farther away from the group. I begin to think about my night with Sesshomaru.
"You better not be thinking about seeing him." I hear a voice say behind me.
"So you found out huh?" I turn to look at Inuyasha.
"Are you kidding me? His stench is all over you. You're lucky Miroku doesn't have smelling senses like I do. Otherwise you would be busted." Inuyasha says. I feel my heart sink when he mentions Miroku.
"Well he wouldn't have any right to yell at me for what I did." I counter back, Inuyasha doesn't respond right back. I know that he smelled the other girl on Miroku.
"I have to go. There are some things I need to take care of." I brush Inuyasha's shoulder as I leave. I feel him grasp my wrist.
"Sango, Sesshomaru will kill you. He'll get you pregnant and then murder you and his pup. Remember he hates humans and he does not love." Inuyasha warns me. I yank my wrist away from his grasp and I walk away from him.
On the way to back to camp I ran into the last person I wanted to see. His eyes were downcast, his raven hair shadowing them. I make my past him.
"Sango, I want to talk to you." Miroku's plea makes it to my ears. I turn around and face my fiancé.
"What do you want Miroku?" I ask, still irritated at him.
"I wanted to apologize about well…what I did. Sango I was doubting about our relationship and I just wanted to say is that I love you I really do." Miroku tells me. At first I don't know how to respond to Miroku telling me all of this so suddenly.
"Miroku….I don't how I'm going to say this…" I bite my lip, trying to get the words out without sounding too harsh.
"You want to end it?" He asks me, no emotion present in his voice. I nod, not looking him in the eye. He sighs, I lift my head up to look at him.
"I thought so." Miroku looks away from me.
"Miroku, I'm so sorry." I reach for his cursed hand, but he pulls it away, not harshly but lightly.
"No, I am sorry. I should of cared for you better and not have flirted with other women. You are a beautiful woman Sango and I mean it. You are so beautiful. I am happy knowing that even if it was brief that you loved me." Miroku strokes my cheek and then presses his lips to it. Unlike Sesshomaru's lips, Miroku's have warmth and emotion. He gazes into my eyes for a brief second and then leaves without another word.
It was at that moment that I wasn't sure if I had made the right choice or not, only time would tell.
Author's Note: HOLY CRAP! I am so sorry for not updating sooner, I got back from Winnipeg and then my friend came for awhile and then my parent's dragged me down to Shaunavon (A small Prairie town in Saskatchewan, Canada) ANYWAY! Thanks for sticking and being patient with me. I'm gonna start making deadlines for me soon so I get these chapters done quick.
