Dreams To Reality
Chapter 13
Saying Your Sorry Is Key
__________________________
Upon leaving Inuyasha and Kagome, Miroku headed back in the direction of his apartment. He figured that he would have to go over and talk to Sango today, otherwise he figured that there would be a chance that she would never speak to him again. Miroku thought that he needed a short walk before going and talking to the girl though.
Arriving at his apartment, Miroku plopped down onto his couch and started to go over possible ideas as to what could happen when he went to talk to Sango. He knew that there was a more the 75% chance that she would close the door in his face before he got a chance to say more the one sentence, so he knew that his first line would be the most important.
After an hour of debating on what he should and should not say to her, he finally headed out the door and towards her apartment. Once there he knocked on the door and waited patiently for her to answer.
________________________________________
Inside the apartment, Sango was just starting to stir from her sleep. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 2pm and rolled over, hoping to get another two hours of sleep before getting up and getting ready to go out with Kagome for dinner.
Just as she was about to fall back to sleep, a loud knocking was heard on the front door. 'Of course, it is always my luck. Just when I am about to fall asleep, someone has to come along and ruin it' she moaned to herself and rolled over again. 'Maybe if I ignore it they will go away and think that no one is home'. But much to her dismay, the knocking came again.
When the knocking came for a third time, she figured that whoever was on the other side of the door was not going to go away anytime soon. So with a load groan she got herself out of bed and put on her robe. She then proceeded to head to the door and see who the hell was keeping her from her favorite occupation, sleep.
As she was nearing the door, there was another knock. "Alright already I am coming just hold on a minute will you!?" she yelled to the person on the other side of the door. of course the knocking stopped immediately. She reached the door and saw who had been knocking so persistently on her door.
______________________________________
Miroku was starting to wonder if Sango was even home. He had knocked twice already and there was still no answer. No one calling out that they were coming or that they wanted him to go away. At this point his patients was getting a little thin.
'Well' he thought to himself 'if no one is home then it won't matter if I knock on the door again'. And with that thought he proceeded to knock for a third time on the door. he thought what he thought was movement coming from inside the house. This gave him hope that Sango was in fact inside the house.
With a renewed sense of purpose, he knocks a fourth time on the door. Then he heard shouting coming from inside the apartment. "Alright already I am coming just hold on a minute will you!?" the voice he was sure was Sango's.
'Oh I don't think that she is in a good mood, this might not have been such a good idea after all.' Miroku was starting to worry about what he reaction was going to be. He didn't have long to think about it though because the door swung open abruptly and he was face to face with the person that he was here to see.
__________________________________________
Sango stood there staring at Miroku. 'What could he possibly want from me? I thought that I made it clear that I didn't want to deal with him anymore.' She thought to herself while glaring at the person in front of her. The silence was starting to get to her and so she voiced he thoughts. "What are you doing here?" she asked in an annoyed tone.
Miroku was still looking at her and no response seemed to come to his mind. 'Come on you idiot say something otherwise she is going to close the door in your face.' "Umm well umm I wanted to talk to you for a moment." He looked away from her and then said "I think that you should get dressed first though."
At this point, Sango noticed that she was still in her bathrobe and talking to the biggest pervert that she had ever met. She started to blush at that thought. Against her better judgement, she asked him "Would you like to come in for a moment while I change? Then you can tell me whatever it was you had to say that was so important that you had to wake me up" she finished exasperatedly and proceeded to move back from the door to let him in.
Miroku was a little stunned that she would actually allow him to come in, but he was never one to look a gift horse in the mouth. "Sure, that would be no problem at all" and so he made his way around Sango and into the apartment.
"You can sit over there on the couch while I go change. I shouldn't be too long and feel free to turn on the TV or something while you are waiting." As an afterthought she added "Oh I do need to take a shower, so it might take a little longer then I was thinking. Make yourself at home." And with that she left Miroku on the couch and headed to her room to get her things for her shower.
Miroku looked around the room and he wondered what he was supposed to do while she was gone. He wasn't really sure that he would be able to tell her what he wanted to. As he sat there he felt something come up and rub against his leg. He looked down and saw a small cat at his feet.
"Hey, what's your name little one?" he leaned down and picked up the small feline and placed her in his lap. "Hmm I wonder if you are Sango or Kagome's. Well how would you like to keep me company for a little while?" the cat purred in response as Miroku started to stroke her fur. She curled up in a small ball and started to fall asleep in his lap.
_______________________________________
About 45 minutes later, Sango emerged from her room fully cleaned and dressed and proceeded to the living room where she had left Miroku. 'Wonder if he got bored and just left? Nah I doubt that I would be that lucky.' She reached the couch and was surprised at what she saw.
There was Miroku, dozing on the couch with Kirara curled up in his lap also sleeping. 'Strange she usually doesn't like guys at all. At least no enough to fall asleep on them.' She smiled at the cute scene that the two of them made. Sango really didn't want to wake him but she knew that he had something that he wanted to tell her. So she walked up next to the couch and leaned over Miroku and started to lightly shake him.
"Miroku, Miroku wake up. Come on you wanted to tell me something remember?" she continued to shake him and he slowly stirred from his sleep. His movement also woke Kirara and she slightly stretched and laid back down in his lap. Miroku slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Sango.
"Hey there, did I fall asleep?" he asked while rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah you did, but I guess I must have taken longer then I had planned" she replied while taking a seat next to him on the couch. She gave him a look while sitting that clearly stated that he should keep his hands to himself. "So I see that you met Kirara" she said while pointing to the cat that was now asleep again in his lap.
"Yeah she came up to me while I was waiting. Is she yours?"
"Hai, I got her from the pound when she was just a kitten." She reached over and stroked the cat on her back. She opened her eyes and looked at her owner. Slowly getting up she made her way into Sango's lap and went back to sleep. "I was surprised to see her sleeping in your lap" Sango commented to him while continuing to pet her cat.
"Why is that?" he asked with a confused look on his face.
"Because when it comes to guys, she usually wont even go near then. I think that it was something that happened to her. You must not be a totally bad person if she liked you. She is a good judge of character."
"I am not really that bad you know" he said to her while giving her a hurt look. "There was a reason that I came over here you know."
She noticed that he looked hurt by her words, but she couldn't figure out why. She figured that he had been told worse then that before. But since he had bothered to wait around for her, she figured that she should at least hear him out. And that look also added to her resolve to hear him out. "So what did you come here to tell me? I thought that you would be going out with Inuyasha and Kagome?"
"I did go out with them for a bit, but I think that I was their amusement so I decided that I would come over here and talk to you. I was planning on doing it after we ate, but I guess I got here sooner then I thought I would." He told her while trying to keep eye contact with her. He knew that she wouldn't believe him if he didn't. "I wanted to say that I was sorry for what happened last night. I really wanted to know if we could start over"
Sango was stunned by what he said. She would never have thought that he would apologize to her. 'Well I guess that I could give him one more chance. What could it hurt?' "Well if you promise to keep your hands to yourself, I could consider giving you one more chance. So was there something that you wanted to do today? I have to meet Kagome and Inuyasha dinner, but other then that I am free."
"Oh I see. They told me that they would see if they could call me for dinner. I guess that they were wondering how we would act around each other. Well since that seems to no longer be a problem, I will join you guys for dinner." He said with a smile in her direction, which made her blush and look away.
"Well if you want to, we could go catch a movie while Inu shows Kagome around town. Or if you want, I could give you a tour of the town." He looked at her while she thought over the options that he had given her.
"I think that I would like to go see a movie. I haven't been to one in a long time. The town will be there later to look at anyway. Maybe the four of us could do a long tour when we have more free time." She replied to him. "I will go get the paper and see what is playing." And with that she left the couch and went into the kitchen to get the newspaper.
After deciding on what they were going to see, they got and left Sango's apartment. Once she was done locking the door, she turned to Miroku and asked "How are we going to get there?"
"We can take my car it is right on the other side of the building. But it is a nice day so if you feel up to it, it isn't that far of a walk."
"I wouldn't mind walking there. Just remember keep your hands to yourself." She finished this statement by glaring at him quickly.
"I do promise to try" he said with a smirk. "So shall we head out?" he offered Sango his arm, which she slowly accepted. And so the two of them headed out to town to go and see the movie.
