By this time you already know I don't own Inuyasha ;_;
Tsuki no Ai
By Youkai Huntress
Shinjitsu" I'll go looking for them! I don't care what you say!"
"Don't interrupt them Inuyasha! If you dare to take another step I will SIT you!"
Miroku appeared in front of them. He was looking back to Sango but as if he didn't want her to notice it. Both of them have serious faces; the taij-ya wouldn't even look at her friends.
"Finally you're here! What were you doing back there?"
Inuyasha looked at them, but they still have a serious face, the hanyou made a funny face of surprise and staid quiet. He knew there was something wrong when they both sat apart of each other.
"Inuyasha, What is wrong with them?"
Kagome whispered to him obviously worried about the houshi and the demon exterminator. While one sat and closed his eyes as if he were in deep meditation, the other sat at the other extreme of the camp, working on her plushie as if there were no tomorrow.
"How am I supposed to know it?"
"I have an idea. Why don't we take a break? We could stay here for the rest of the day, and enjoy ourselves for a little change. Anyway I don't feel any Shikon Shard."
"What the hell? We can't do that!"
Kagome pulled Inuyasha by his hair and whispered to him.
"I don't think that traveling with them like that would be good idea!"
"There's only one little problem, TODAY THERE'S NEW TSUKI!"
Answered an angry but resigned Inuyasha. He knew there was no way he was going to win the argument. Besides deep in his mind, he was also worried about his companions' behavior.
After dinner was served, Miroku excused himself saying he needed to be alone to meditate. Sango looked at him trying to not call his attention. It thrilled her why he kept on leaving like that.
"Sango-chan, what happened in the woods?"
It seemed nothing would go the way the taij-ya have expected this day, she had hoped Kagome wouldn't ask her about what the houshi and she talked. She couldn't tell her or she would get overexcited, after all, Sango had already discovered that her friend had the wear idea of getting Miroku and her together. Not to mention that his feelings had already caused enough pain to the guy as to make them public.
"Nothing Kagome-chan"
"I'm here for you, you know it, right?"
She turned to see Kagome; the girl had a worried look on her face.
Sango (Even if I can't tell her, I could really use a friend's advice this time)
She let out a sigh before saying. Her voice was trapped in her throat as if it had decided that being mute was better for the time being. This was one of those times when she hated her own shyness.
"Kagome wait…. How can you tell if you're in love?"
The girl from the future was surprised to hear this; maybe Sango was finally realizing she had feelings for the houshi. She could already imagine the wedding.
" Well, I supposed is about wanting to be with that person no matter what, to accept his faults and cherish his qualities. You also want the person to be happy even if it's not with you. –Stealing glances from Inuyasha- But I think is different for every person."
Sango sighed. (What happened there, should I forget it?)
(But I don't want to..)
Shippo decided that after all the plushies could be used to play, so he went where the two dolls laid and started examining the one which belonged to Sango.
"Sango, why do your doll has a hole on the right hand?"
Sango looked at the inquiring kitsune, then walked towards him and took the doll as he offered it to her. She hadn't paid attention to the hole but it did exist. She passed her hand through it as if it she could make it a whole again just by touching it.
"Probably I wasn't careful enough and it got ripped, Shippo"
The kid was now looking upset, he took the plushie again and give a pitiful look to it. Afterward he returned it to its rightful owner just to go playing with the other plushie. But before leaving Sango's side he said.
"I thought you have put it there for another reason."
Sango looked stunned by his words then looked sad at the doll. She couldn't help to compare the plushie's hole to the houshi's curse. Life was ironic, the feature that made the identity of the plushie obvious to everyone, was the one Miroku worked harder to erase.
Sango (It does look like him, isn't it? How do I feel about you?…
You're handsome that's for sure, I would even say you're the most charming man I've ever met, specially when you take off the lecherous smiling mask. I like you and I can't deny it. I mean that would explain why I get jealous whenever you flirt with other girls. Because I do get jealous even if I will never accept it.
To team up with you, it's so natural, as if we have been doing it for our whole lives. I cannot think of a better battle companion than you. Together I know we have the power to defeat any enemy. We protect each other; in some battles your protection was what saved me from a certain death. And I've always been there to help you, not because I have to, but because I cannot stand to see you hurt.
You know me better than anyone and I realize that is not easy. You have the right words to make me smile or to make feel special. There are some of things you've said to me, that I adore. They make me happy even if a month has passed from when they were spoken.
I can allow myself to be vulnerable in front of you because you'll never hurt me.
I feel lonely if you're gone, even if I'm with the others. .. You've come to be a beloved friend to me. Even if Naraku hadn't slaughtered my past, you'd still be my best friend.
But I don't really know you; I wonder what kind of person you are behind the mask. You've only let me see a little of the man you really are. How can I love a mystery? How can I be certain that I love the real you and not an image of you made up by me?
And the constant danger of the kazaana. Death has been your companion even before I was born. How could you have space in your mind for me when she's constantly there?
I'm confused….
I don't know what lies in my heart for you and I don't want know it. Damn houshi! I don't want to lose someone I care for, not again)
"Is our destiny to be together Miroku? Or is just a dream to ease our solitude? I really need to talk to you"
