Chapter Twelve -
Miroku's Explanation
Sango's eyes glared menacingly at Miroku. The knew what she had seen, must have hurt her.
"Please don't get upset, Sango. You as well Kagome. Let me explain what happened." He glances at Inuyasha, who's mouth was drawn into a grimace.
"The past couple of days have been filled with mixed emotions. Inuyasha and myself were both trying to hide our feelings for each other. When we finally came clean and confessed, we couldn't be together because Sesshomaru had placed a mate bond on Inuyasha. We just broke the curse bond mere moments ago. Our love was so strong. I'm sorry you saw what you did, and that you had to find out this way, but we love each other."
The two girls, Shippo, and even Kirara stood stock still looking at Miroku and Inuyasha.
"O—okay." Sango quakes, trembling from some emotion. Yet she seemed to be taking this better than the monk had suspected.
Kagome hadn't spoken a word. She just stared at Inuyasha with tears in her eyes. "This is really what you want then? This will make you happy?" The miko asks quietly.
Inuyasha nods his head.
"I'm happy for you and I accept you wishes, Inuyasha. If you want to be with Miroku, then that's how it should be. I hope you can make each other happy." Kagome steps forward and hugs the hanyou and monk. "I love you both too much to be angry. Perhaps a little hurt, but I'll get over it." Miroku was shocked.
Sango seems to snap out of her stupor. "Yeah, I uh, I agree with Kagome. As long as you both happy, we can't ask for anything more." The demon slayer awkwardly embraces Miroku then Inuyasha.
"We approve you two, but it will take us awhile to get used to. We both have feelings for you." Kagome says. Sango make a noise of protest, but stops at the look Kagome gives her.
Miroku had worried about breaking Sango's heart, but she really was taking this badly.
"Sango, I'm sorry. I do care for you, but not how I love Inuyasha." Miroku tries to comfort the demon slayer. "It's all right Miroku. I understand. I'm happy for you and I'm sure I will get over it, just like Kagome said."
The monk nods and turns to his love. "Well I guess we should make camp for the night. It's getting pretty late."
They all agree to set up camp and take a break to gather their thoughts.
Miroku pulls Inuyasha away from the others. "I've been waiting to do this for awhile now." The monk pushes Inuyasha against a nearby tree, and passionately kisses him. "Ah that's what I needed. Those beautiful petal soft lips." Inuyasha blushes red, then pushes the monk off of himself.
"I don't have soft lips, and we shouldn't do that. The girls are right there." Miroku frowns. "Inuyasha, are you ashamed of me, of what you feel? There's no other time to enjoy ourselves than now." The monk says slightly angry.
Inuyasha looks away. "I just don't feel comfortable doing this right now. Too much has happened today."
Miroku backs away from the hanyou. Didn't he want to be with the monk right now?
"You used me didn't you. You just wanted someone to love you enough that they'd break the bond. Now that's done, you don't want me. I can't believe you."
Inuyasha stood with his eyes wide. "What? I---no. That's not it at all."
Miroku wasn't sure of anything. The hanyou probably had done just as the monk had thought. "Sure Inuyasha whatever you say. I need to be by myself." Miroku turns and walks back to camp.
This wasn't how things were supposed to be.

Inuyasha: Oh boo-freaking-hoo. You cares if I don't want to fuck the monk.
Rose: Uh……didn't you just do that, after the last chapter? Handcuffs remember? I had to put four walls in between us cause of the sounds. I almost lost consciousness from all the blood lose. How can you---
Miroku: I suggest you stop there Mistress Rose. Inuyasha may not want to relive those wonderful moments in the eyes of the public.
Rose: Uh yeah. Whatever. Review please and thank you.
Inuyasha: Your a bitch you know that?
Rose: (death glare)
Inuyasha: Review please. Heh heh heh. I was kidding Mistress Rose. Don't make me do anything……unnatural.
Rose: Back to that uh? Your a piece of work man.
