[as you wish]

=====

My husband is a contradiction.

I spent years seeing him smile and laugh, despite the fact he was dying. I observed his anger at injustice, at the hopelessness of his situation.

I watched him touch every girl he could get his lecherous hands on.

I have listened to other wives speak about their mates. They speak of ignorance and discomfort. Some have men who are very knowledgeable about female desire. These husbands plead, beg, or force them into unpleasant acts.

Many assume that Miroku is similar. They are wrong.

My husband has the utmost respect for me. Our wedding night was spent not in primal groping, but in tenderness. He has never suggested anything that might embarrass me. Compared to his previous experiences with women, I must be a boring lover, and there are still nights that I refuse him.

He just smiles, disappointed, but smiling.

"As you wish, Sango."

And I love him.
