All the Pretty Things...:

Sango looked saddly out her bedroom window as she shut it. It was almsot as if she was shutting her window of opportunity at the same time.
No one was home at her house. No one was ever home, and if by some odd stroke of luck her parents _were_ home, the paid her no attention anyways. Miroku, knowing this, stopped by to say hi and hang out or something.
When Sango's bestfriend, Kagome, had introduced her to Miroku, she had hated him. Then, after a few weeks, they became friends. And after she had gotten to know him, she had started to _really_ like him.
She was falling in love with him. Love was an emotion she tried to avoid at all costs. (bad past experiences...) But with him, it was unavoidable.
Everytime she rejected him, she felt something inside of her pull. She really did want to tell him how she felt. She was just to afraid, and she knew it to. And that bugged her; knowing what she was afraid of and not being able to do anything about it.
"If only..." She mumbled to herself as she watched Miroku walk away sullenly.

~*~ Flashback ~*~

Sango ran down the hall towards the door. Someone was knocking. She looked through the peep hole and sighed.
"Hi, Miroku." She said, opening the door.
"Hey, Sango..." He greeted her smiling. It was very obvious that he was seriously obbsessed with her.
"I thought you had to work today?" Sango said.
"Yeah... But I decided to stop here and say hi to you in the hopes that it would make the rest of my work day bearable..." He told her.
"Interesting... Very interesting..." She said smiling inwardly. She knew if she just asked him if he wanted to go out with her, he'd say yes. But she didn't want to be just his obbsesion. She wanted to be more than that.
"Well... umm... yeah.... Inuyasha and Kagome are going to the movies and invited me to come along... But I don't want to be the third wheel. So... Do you wanna come with me?" He asked her.
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
"Well... I guess... Yeah..."
"Nope... Sorry, Miroku..."
"Why don't you ever go anywhere with me, Sango?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
"Because, Miroku. Everytime you ask me to go somewhere with you, it's as a date... And I'm just not interested in you like that..." ~Lies... Why am I still lieing?~ She thought.
"Oh...You aren't?"
"No... I'm not."
"Oh... Well... I guess I'd better get to work... Can I atleast have a hug before I go?"
"Fine..." She sighed, then gave him a hug.
"Oh... And Sango... I wanted to give you this..." He said, catching himself before he left. He handed her a small blue velvet box.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You'll have to open it and see..." He said and smiled, then moved to leave again.
"Wait... Miroku?" Sango stopped him.
"Yeah?" He said, then smiled as Sango gave him another hug.
"Thanks..."

~*~ End Flashback ~*~

Sango still hadn't opened the box. She wanted to, but she was afraid of what was in it.
"Right... I'm gonna open it." She said to herself, then opened it before she could have any second thoughts.
Inside the box was another, smaller box. A black, ring box.
"Oh, Godz..." She mumbled.
She opened the ring box. Inside was the ring she had been looking at the other day at the mall. He had to have had Kagome help him pick it out. She was the only one who had been with her. It was a triad, or trinity symbol. Also know as the celtic knot. Sango had done some research on it after she had seen it.
"I'm gonna have to kill him... Either that or kiss him..." That ring had cost a lot. Sango hadn't been able to afford it, even with Kagome's help.
Sango had places to go, people to call, and things to do. So she went back to her room to grab her purse and things to leave. First place to go... Kagome's house.
