Sorry it took so long! I've only been having time to update one story. In a
few days I'm going to New York City (My home town!) for X-mas for four
days.
After I'm done with this story, I'm gonna put up a new story, where Miroku is a teacher for Kohaku and Sango meets him. Soon after, he starts having an intrest in her.
Down the rabbit hole
If she knew this was going to happen, she wouldn't have even worn the damn dress. She had almost forgotten that her mother was a small woman. The dress was pretty, she would admit, but it just wasn't her. Now she was on a date, a date she didn't even want. All she was trying to do was satisfy her mother's last wishes.
'Why did I care about that?'
Maybe she was trying to get back at Miroku. All those times he had flirted with other women, getting the attention of anything with an hourglass figure. Now, he had no women to flirt with, and everyone was interested in her for a change. Of course she liked the attention, but she felt the smothered that the spotlight was on her for a change.
"Sango?"
"Huh? Oh, yes Koji?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing really."
"If you're sure."
But what was really bothering her, was the argument she had with Miroku before she left.
Flashback....*******************************************************
"He's trouble Sango! He tricks women into sleeping with him!"
"So do you!" She continued to brush her hair.
"Listen to me Sango, I heard two men talking, saying that he was planning on having his way with you!"
She turned to face him. "Houshi-sama, I appreciate your concern, but I can handle myself, you and I both know that." She got up to leave, but Miroku stood in front of the doorway.
"Sango, please, heed my warnings-"
"Are you angry, because he's just like you?"
He was taken aback a moment. "Sango, I-"
"No, don't Sango me! As long as I can remember you have flirted shamelessly with women, persuaded them, manipulated them, and then finally leave them heartbroken. I'm not going to be one of those women, no matter how much you want me to!"
She turned away from him. "You would leave them, heartlessly, without any thought as to how they might feel. You never looked back, and some are probably waiting for you still, but you don't care, do you? Koharu had waited for you for three years, what makes you think she still isn't waiting? I'll admit I didn't read to much into it before, but several of those women really loved you. But you don't care. Do you Miroku?"
By the time she had turned back around, he was gone.
*******************************************************************
Miroku sighed. 'She's right.'
He had never thought about it much before. What DID happen to those women he had promised to be with. He had never realized some of those women had actually loved him. Koharu he had always believed would grow out of it and find someone new, just like all of the others, not wait around for someone who would never come.
He remembered the things Kagome had went through just to keep Inuyasha. Whenever he had gone to see Kikyo, she would wait by the door, her aura morose. All the nights she had spent crying over the hanyou, but for her it was worth it. Those women would never have his heart. His heart belonged to another. But unfortunately he might have lost his chances with the girl he loved.
'What the-'
He stood up. Maybe coming into the forest alone wasn't the best idea. He heard the leaves rustle, but couldn't see it because of the darkness. It came closer, then pushed him backwards. Just when he thought he was going to his the ground, the soil crumbled beneath his feet, sending him down a hole with seemingly no end.
*******************************************************************
"What were you two arguing about?"
"Koji, can I ask you something?"
"What about?"
"Well, what we were arguing about, was that Miroku had heard two of the villagers talking. They said... well.... that you wanted to have your way with me."
The next sound, heard, was of Koji's laughing.
"What? It wasn't that funny!"
"*giggle* Sorry *snicker* it's just that...."
"What?"
"Well," Koji said, "they say that every time I manage to get a date. See, most guys my age are usually married by now. I'm the only one that's not. So every time I go out with a girl, they have hopes that I finally bed with her. That's all."
"Then... what I said to Miroku then..."
"You love him, don't you?"
She was silent for a moment. "I'm, I'm not sure."
"You do, I can tell."
"Koji, I-"
"Don't worry, I understand. You know what? You should go to him."
"Are you sure?"
"He loves you, I'm sure of it."
"Thank you Koji, for understanding."
"No problem, I-" He froze, his eyes blank.
'Kill her.'
Koji unsheathed his sword, pointing it in Sango's direction. She backed away. 'He's possessed.' She pulled out her boomerang, blocking the blows from the sword. She took another step back, and the ground collapsed beneath her feet. She felt into oblivion, not knowing where she would end up.
