All the Pretty Things:
Chapter Seven:
"Kagome... I'm going to go home. Okay?" Sango said after she had stopped crying. She hoped her mom wasn't home.
"Okay... Do you want me to get my mom to give you a ride?" Seh asked.
"No... That's okay..." Sango said, grabbing her jacket. She gave Kagome a hug.
"Call me later." Kagoem told her. Sango nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango unlocked the door and went inside her house. She threw her jacket on the coat rack and put her keys in her pocket with out looking up. She walked through the kitchen and into the living room.
To her dismay, her mother was laying on the couch. Her face was red and it looked like she had been crying. A lot. Her eyes were closed.
"Mom...?? Sango said. She didn't answer, or even look up. "Mom? Mother?"
She still didn't answer.
"Mom? Hello? Mother?!" Had something happened to her? Had she overdosed again?
Sango turned to go upstairs to her room.
"S...Sango...?" Her mom whimmpered.
"Mom? Are you okay?" She asked, but remained where she was by the stairs.
"I... I'm so sorry Sango." She said quietly.
Sango just looked at her.
"I mean it, Sango. I'm sorry. So very sorry. I'm going to stop. Starting now." She said, still quietly.
"No more drinking?" Sango asked.
"No more drinking. Or smoking. Or anything else anymore." She said.
"You've said that before, Mom." Snago pointed out.
"But.... I mean it this time. I hit you Sango. Because I drank to much and you were tying to stop me from driving." She said. "I'm done. I promise..."
"Alright." Sango said.
"My Godz Sango! Did I do that to you?" She asked. Suddenly seeing the large red almost bruise on her face.
"The coffee table I got pushed into when you got home helped to..." Sango said.
"Come here..." She said.
"Sango looked at her reproachfully. Then she went to her mother.
"I love you Sango. Will you ever be able to forgive me? Or even trust me again?"
Sango paused for a minute, then nodded and hugged her mom.
"I love you to mom..." She said.
Then they sat there, both of them crying in eachothers arms for a few moments.
"I know why I'm crying... But why are you, Sango?" She asked after a while.
Sango looked at her.
"You can tell me, honey. No matter what it is."
Sango paused. "I'm in love..." She admitted.
"Oh...honey... And he doesn't love you back?"
Sango shook her head. "No... He loves me... He told me... I just haven't told him yet."
"Who is he?" She asked, ever the curious mother.
"You'll laugh." Sango said.
"I promise I wont."
"Miroku."
Her mother looked a little suprised, but she didn't laugh. "That's perfectly normal dear. The two of you grew up together. Remember he used to live next door to us three years ago."
Sango did remember. He had often used binoculars or a telescope to spy on her through her window. She smiled.
"And he's always loved you... Or atleast liked you. Remember the ring he gave you for your birthday two years ago? Such a beautiful jewel. What was it again, dear?" Her mother asked.
"A saphire."
"It was so pretty... What ever happened to it?" She asked.
"It's in my jewlery box." Sango told her, then remembered the ring Miroku had given her the other day.
She put her hand in her pocket to make sure it hadn't fallen out with all the running she had done. It was still there.
"He got me this the other day mom..." Sango said, showing her the trinity ring.
"That looks very expensive! Why'd he give it to you...? Was it some sort of special occasion?" She asked.
"I don't think he really had a reason. He just knew that I had seen the ring at the mall and that I had liked it." Sango told her.
"See... He's always loved you Sango. Or atleast he has for a really long time." She told her. Sango simply nodded.
"I need to go to sleep... I've had a... very... stressful day..."
"Okay dear." She hugged her daughter once more before she let her go. "Sango, I love you."
"I love you too mom." She said, then went upstairs to her room.
~As if I'll be able to sleep...~ She thought as she entered her room and sat on her bed.
She pulled out the trinity ring from her pocket again and slipped it on her finger.
"What am I to do now?" She asked herself.
She closed her eyes and lied back on her bed. She'd have to tell him that she loved him too. Eventually.
A few minutes later, Sango was half asleep. she didn't want to move to change into her pajamas, but she didn't want to stay there and sleep either.
Despite how comfortable she had been, she got up and went to her bathroom. She looked up into the mirror. She did have a red welty thing on her face. She hadn't really lookied in a mirror since the inncident. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying so much, both at Kagome's house and with her mom.
She changed into her pajamas, brushed her hair, then got a cold wet wash cloth and coverd the side of her face and her eyes.
When she cried a lot her eyes got all red and puffy, and they'd often sty like that for a few days. She had found a few months ago that a clod wash cloth over her eyes helped a little.
She knew the way from her bathroom to her bed so well, she left her eyes covered. When she gopt to her bed, she slid under the covers and tried to relax.
She lay there in silence for a few moments, thinking. She decided she'd tell him that she loved him too tommorow.
"Sango...?"
"HOLY SHIT!!!" She exclaimed, sitting up in bed. The cloth fell off her eyes and revealed Miroku, leaning against her dresser.
"And I was worried that you weren't awake..." He said calmly.
"Why the _hell_ are you in my room?!" She asked. "How'd you get in here?!"
"Your mom let me come up. I explained about why I was here and she told em to go on up." He told her, smiling only a little.
"Why _are_ you here?" She asked.
"I need to talk to you." He looked at her, then walked over to where she was now standing by her bed.
"About what?" She asked, sitting back down.
"Sango..." He held her hands in his own. "I love you... And I never meant to hurt you... Like I obviously did. I'm sorry I made you cry.... Angels shouldn't cry. And you _are_ an angel." He said.
"I..." She started.
"You don't have to say anything Sango. I understand." He said.
"Miroku, I..." He cut her off again.
"You probably want me to leave... I'm glad you and your mom are okay now." He said, moving to the door.
"Miroku.... I... I love you too..." She said quickly and softly.
