OK, I have snuck on again to update and here goes.

Disclaimer: Now since I have run out of ideas to say I don't Inuyasha or Rurouni Kenshin I will have Inuyasha characters do it for me. First up is…. Miroku

Miroku: DreamsOfMonks does not own Inuyasha…. Will you bear my child?'

Me: maybe later… ok on with the story!

Her eyes had flashed dangerously while he was talking and tears were on the rim of her eyes threatening to spill over if he had said anything more. "What did he do Sakura?" Kaoru asked looking at her quietly.

"Well I all started when I moved to America." she began taking an unsteady breath. "I lived with a man and his wife and they raised me and let me live in their home. So it was only proper that they were like my new parents and, when I turned 18 they asked me to be betrothed to Rob" she said taking another breath. A big mistake. As soon as she stopped talking there were questions all around the room.

"YOU SAID YES?!" was one from Inuyasha. "Sakura why didn't you decline?" was from Kagome. "Oro?!" was from Kenshin as he seemed to be thoroughly confused.

Sakura sighed. "No no, you don't understand- I knew Rob from school and I had a huge crush on him. But I hardly knew him. He was only a cute face, you know how it feels- to be mildly infatuated because of how cute or pretty some one is…" she said adding the last bit to reassure Sanosuke that she wasn't in love with him.

There were nods of understanding from every one in the room, because at one time or another they too, had had a crush like this.

"So we were betrothed… and things went smoothly… until it came time for me to bed with him…" she said uncomfortably as all eyes were on her.

"You mean you only ran out because you didn't want to fuck him?" Inuyasha said crudely followed by a "SIT!" from Kagome.

Sakura looked at him with a skeptical look but continued, "No I was fine with that part of the bargain…." she received shocked looks but pressed on, "It was ok until he decided to tell me some things about him" she said taking a deep breath, not quite wanting to relive this.

"He stopped…and he said something along the lines of 'You know even if we are married, I will still go out' and I thought he meant like with his friends… but no, I knew because he added more. He said 'And by that I meant with other girls- you know what I mean Sakura and it could never be just you..' and I stopped." she hastily wiped the tears out of her eyes.

She received sympathetic looks now, and she still continued.

"I asked him why… his reply was 'well you know I can't tie myself down just for you' and I asked why again- I guess I was too shocked to tell him off or say anything else.. And he said 'I can't be monogamous for you- I have to many priorities' and I asked what could actually be more important than a wife or family… and he replied 'getting laid'" at those words the sad look on her changed into a grimace. Every one looked like they had even more hatred for Rob than before.

To be continued….
