Chapter 8 - Miroku's Confession (His Secret Revealed)
It had been over an hour since Miroku and Sango's encounter with one another and Miroku still did not return from his little walk. Whether Sango was worried or not, you couldn't tell by her face. At first, she was a little confused by his sudden withdrawal, but she shrugged it off. She decided that maybe a bath would be very relaxing right now. She stood up from her previous spot, gathered some things that Kagome had given her from her time, and proceeded to a hot spring that was near.
When she arrived, she slowly stripped of her clothing and merged slowly with the hot water. She relaxed slowly and put her head against a rock nearby and closed her eyes. She heard a rustle among some leaves near her and quickly jumped, half expecting it to be the lecherous monk. She turned; ready to launch the closest thing to her, which happened to be a rock, at his head. The only thing was it wasn't Miroku. Instead, it was Kirara carrying some of Sango's clothing that she had forgotten. Sango blinked once, and then sighed, half in relief and half in sorrow.
Deep down, she knew that she had wished that it would be the monk standing there, with his lecherous grin on his face. She shook her head to rid herself of that thought. She wadded slowly to the side of the hot spring and took the clothes from Kirara. The then stroked the fire youkai's back. Kirara purred in response to the touch.
"I wonder what's going on with him?" Sango said out loud to herself. Kirara looked up at Sango and mewed softly. She repeated her sigh from earlier and continued to pet Kirara. If anyone had seen her, they might have thought that she was disappointed at Miroku for not making an attempt to touch her. She couldn't help but think that he was hiding something.
"He would never turn away from me like that." She caught what she had said and tried to correct her mistake. "He would turn away from any of us like that. I wonder what is wrong with him?" Kirara looked up at Sango and mewed once again. Sango looked down at the cute little fire youkai. Her eyes lit up a little and she stood up.
"I should just go talk to him. He wanted me to talk. Now I'll make him talk.one way or another." With determination, Sango quickly leaped out of the hot spring and rushed to put her clothes back on. She gathered the rest of her things and proceeded to make her way back to camp. Kirara was about to follow, but then noticed something in one of the bushes. Curiosity getting the better of her, she headed towards the bush instead of following Sango.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miroku was hoping that Sango would be asleep by the time he arrived back at the camp site. However, when he got back, he was disappointed to see that she was gone, which meant that she was still up. Suddenly he heard some shuffling around in some bushes across from the fire. Thinking that it could be Sango, Miroku quickly sat down and made it look as though he was asleep. He was, in fact, right. It was Sango. He thought that he would be all right since Sango saw him "fake" sleep. Apparently she had other things in mind.
She walked over to Miroku and knelt before him. She gently placed both of her hands on his shoulders and shook him slightly. Finally understanding what she was trying to do, Miroku tried to remain "asleep." However, Sango kept pushing. She continued to shake him until she became frustrated. Determined to wake him up, she smacked him across the head, which in turn, caused him to fly face first one foot before the fire.
Miroku opened his eyes and screamed. "What did you do that for?!" he asked completely flustered and a little horrified.
Sango shrugged. "You wouldn't wake up." Miroku, still trying to act as though he was sleeping, stretches and yawns. "Couldn't this wait until the morning?" Now Sango was getting suspicious. "What's wrong with you?"
Miroku glanced her way and shrugged as if not understanding. "My dear, Sango. Whatever do you mean?"
"Cut the crap Miroku! I know something is up with you!" With that she walked over to him and was within groping distance. "You haven't acted like your normal self since Inu Yasha and Kagome left earlier!" Miroku took a big gulp of air and step sideways, so he wouldn't step in the fire.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said as he separated his eyes from her blazing ones.
"You're lying. I know you are. Why can't you just answer me?!" She screamed.
Miroku was trying to maintain control within him so he wouldn't let his little secret slip out. However, he was not fairing well with Sango berating him the way she was.
"I swear. I have no idea as to what you are going on about, my lady Sango." He replied, trying to hide any hint of dishonesty in his voice. However, Sango caught on to his little slip up with her name.
She screamed in aggravation. "Why won't you just tell me?! I told you when you told me to let my feelings out?! You were there for me! Now why can't I do the same for you?!" If Sango wasn't so aggravated at the current situation she might have realized what she just said. Miroku did though. With that, he lost his control.
"I can't let anyone be close to me.especially you." He said somewhat controlled. He finally looked back and met her eyes again. "It's because you're the one I fell in love with. The one I would want to spend the rest of my life with. But I am a forsaken man and can't let anyone close to me."
Sango was shocked by his little speech.his declaration of love. She just stood there, a word could not escape her mouth even if she tried. All she could do was stare at him with confused and surprised eyes.
Miroku chuckled. "I guess I'll be going on a walk again." With that, he began walking out of the camp again. 'I only hope that this time she is asleep before I get back.' He thought to himself.
