All the Pretty Things:
Chapter Four:
When Sango awoke the next morining she was in a bed. It wasn't her's, she knew that much. She could't think straight. She could, however, tell that she was in Miroku's house. Was she in his bed? It smelled like his colonge.
The last thing she could remember was lieing down on a couch, Miroku telling her something, then him leaving the room.
~I wonder where he slept, if he gave his bed up for me?~ She thought.
"Sango?" A head popped in through the cracked door and whispered. "Are you up, dear?"
"Yeah.. Mrs. Gaki..." Sango said, sitting up and addressing Miroku's mother.
"Miroku is still asleep on the couch. He stayed up late worrying about you." She said, a little confused. Sango could tell Miroku hadn't told her anything.
"He shouldn't have given me his bed..." Sango said.
"That's what I told him... He was very insistant that you needed a bed...My Miroku... He really does care for you... A lot..." She told her. Sango felt a little guilty.
"Yeah... I know..."
"Well... I'll be in the kitchen reading. If you want anything, don't be afraid to ask."
"Okay, Mrs. Gaki... But I think I'll actually follow you to the kitchen now..." Sango said, getting up.
So... Sango did so, pausing only when they passed to living room door way to look at Miroku's sleeping face.
~He's so cute when he's asleep...~ She thought, then continued a few steps behind Mrs. Gaki to the kitchen.
About an hour later, Sango was getting a little bored. "When do you think he'll wake up?" She asked.
"Would you like a book or something? It may be a while..." She said, smiling. Sango laughed.
"Or it may not be a while..." Miroku had woken and was stanind in the doorway, frowning slightly. The girls laughed even more.
"Good morning, love." Mrs. Gaki said to her son.
"Good morning, Sango." He said, ignoring his mother. "Did you sleep well?"
"Fine.... Pay no attention to your poor, old, mother..." Mrs. Gaki said.
He continued to ignore her.
"Yes.... I suppose... I don't really remember getting here though..." Sango told him.
"You were half-asleep the whole way here... You sat down on the couch for a minute and I went to go tell my mom you'd be staying the night... When I walked back into the living room... You were sound asleep... So I carried you to my bed and let you sleep there." He told her.
"Thank you, Miroku." She said.
"I'd offer to make you breakfast, Miroku, but you seem to be ignoring me..." Mrs. Gai said.
"Why... Hello, mother... You're looking lovely today..." He said quickly, he wanted her to cook. Anything Miroku tried to cook wound up deadly. The girls laughed at him and he sat down at the table across from Sango to pout, while his mother made him breakfast.
"So... Sango? When'll you be going home?" She asked her from the oven.
Sango looked at Miroku. "I don't know..." She told her."Probably later today or tommorow."
Miroku looked at her. "What?"
"Mom was supposed to leave either this morning or tommorow morning.... I can't remember which."
"Oh... That's right... You mum travels quite a lot doesn't she... Where's she going this week?" Mrs. Gaki said, handin Miroku his breakfast.
"Actually... I think it's a month this time... She'll be in Africa."
"What is it she does again?"
"She takes pictures... For magazines and papers and things..."
"That's nice... I'll bet she get's some pretty exotic pictures doesn't she?"
"Yeah... Some of them are pretty wierd." Sango said.
She laughed a little as she remembered the picture of her mother, shacking and shivering, standing infront of a baby penguin.
"Right.... Well... I feel like going for a walk. Wanna come with me Miroku?" Sango asked, after Miroku finnished eating.
"Ummmm... Sure" He said, glancing at his mother. She nodded.
"See you two later." Mrs. Gaki said, chuckling to herself as they left the room.
Miroku walked to his room to get his jacket, and Sango followed. Hers was in tehre too.
"Miroku." Sango said, shutting the door behind her as she stepped inside his room.
"Yeah... Sango...?" He asked confused.
"Thank you. Thank you so much...." She said, then hugged him.
"Your welcome? For what, Sango?"
"For everything... For everything you've ever done for me that I haven't thanked you for." She hugged him again. "I'm sorry..." She whispered.
"Sorry for what?" He was really getting confused.
"For everything." She said, then ran out of the room and out of the house.
It hurt so much. To be there with him. To be in his house. To know he loved her enough to give up his bed for her. And she hated lying to him about her feelings.
She knew he'd follow her, and he did. But Sango had always been a lillte bit faster then him. And she already had a lead. There was no way he could catch up with her.
She was running down the sidewalk in the center of town, just a few blocks from the park now. She didn't know where she was going. She was just running. She seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.
~I should join track or something...~ She thought as she turned a corner. She had been rinning along side a building and couldn't see what exactly was behind the corner.
"Oh! Shit!" Sango had ran into someone and they had screamed. That 'someone' just so happened to be Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Let me go! Now!" She demanded. When she had ran into him, he had grabbed the sides of her arms.
"Where's the fire, Sango?" Inuyasha asked.
"Behind me! Now let me go!" she ordered.
"Behind you? Is someone chasing you?" Inuyasha asked.
"You could... say that... " Miroku said breathing heavily.
"Ahhhh.... I see.... She's running away from Miroku..." He said to no one in particular. "What'd he do this time?" He asked her.
"Me?! I didn't do anything! Not this time atleast..." He said.
"Right.... I think you to have some issues to resolve..." Inuyasha said, but still didn't let go of Sango.
"Will you let me go!" Sango said again.
"Inuyasha... don't" Miroku said.
"Awww... Come on!" Sango said.
"Inuyasha! Let her go!" Kagome said, as she ran out of the building and saw him holding Sango.
"Ha! Kagome! Help me! Make him let me go!" She whined.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said again.
"Fine..." He said, pouting a little as he let her go.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku said. "She's got you trained!"
"Sorry Kagome! Gotta go! I'll stop by your place later." Sango said, then started to run again.
"Go get her Inuyasha!" Miroku said, knowing he'd never be able to catch her.
"No...." He said.
"No? What'd'you mean no?!" Miroku asked.
"She needs some time by herself..." Kagome told them. "She'll be at my house later. So call me and I'll make her talk to you." She told him, then left.
"I think I'm even more confused now... Then I was before..." Miroku told Inuyasha.
"Right... Me too." Inuyasha said as they watched Sango run of in the distance and Kagome walking the same dirrection.
