[ Chapter 3 : Our Mistake ]
Sango jerked up on her bed at the loud sounds of thunder and the hard rain banging against her window. "What is it with fate and me today?" She muttered to herself. "Can't I just sleep in peace? It's hard enough without ..." Sango bit her lips, shaking away her thoughts. No matter how hard she tries, there no hiding from reality. Her marriage was in shambles. She should had known from the beginning ... that her marriage was a big mistake.
-----
[Flashback : 7 months ago (before the marriage)]
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango nearly screamed into the phone. She could hear the nervousness in Kagome's distance voice.
"It's Miroku, he was really upset two days and took off during work. He locked himself in his apartment since then. I'm worried about him."
"Miroku ..." Sango hadn't heard that name for a long time, but she remembered the man. How could she forget? She had dated him back in high school during junior and senior year. That jerk. When she caught him flirting with another girl at the prom, their relationship ended. She took care to avoid him since then. How strange that Kagome would bring him up now. "I don't see how I can help you with anything dealing with that man, Kagome. You know we're not exactly friends right now." Sango responded, the tension clearly stressed in her voice.
"I know he still cares about you Sango regardless of your feelings for him. He won't listen to me or Inuyasha. Sango, you got to help him. I'm afraid that he might ... lose it. You know how he gets. Remember?"
Sango sighed. Kagome has a point. Miroku is a happy go lucky guy most of the time. There are moments, however, when he becomes ... something quite different. Whatever had happened to him recently might trigger that side to come out again.
"Sango, you still care for him?" Kagome stated in a question.
"I ..." Sango frowned at herself. Yes, she had to admit, that she had the urge to kill him every time he was with another girl ... even after they had broken up. Still, Sango can't refuse help to someone who had meant something to her. "I'll do it." She sighed, defeated by her own feelings.
-----
30 minutes later she finds herself standing nervously in front of the Miroku's apartment. Was she really ready to face him after all this time? She unconsciously reached up to fix her hand and stopped herself. 'The man is depressed. Does it really matter how I look?', she thought to herself. Beside, this was the man who nearly broke her heart. She tapped several time on his door and waited for an answer.
"GO AWAY!" Miroku's drowsy voice screamed at her from inside the house.
"NO!" she screamed back. "Stop being so childish and open the door!"
There was a long silence. "Sango?" Miroku whispered quietly as he opened the door. "What are you doing here?"
"I ... I ..." For a moment, Sango had completely forgot why she was standing at the doorway of ex boyfriend's house. Miroku's appearance was a big shock. She had expected to him to look like he did five years ago, but he had changed. No more happy-go-lucky. She was standing in front of a messy unwept rough Miroku. He was very atractive, in a mysterious sinister way. She felt as if she was talking to a stranger and the nervousness came back again.
"Did Kagome send you here?" His eyes grew angry. "I told her I didn't want company right now."
That was when Sango smelled it. He had been drinking. Miroku had told her how much he hated it when people drink. He wouldn't drink if it wasn't something serious. That thought made her strong again. "Kagome did asked me, but I came because I was worry. Let me in Houshi."
He sighed, knowing that he owned the woman at least that request after what he had done to her. He walked back into the living room, leaving the front door open, knowing that she would follow.
-----
The apartment was dim, and there were trash and wine bottle everywhere. Sango sat on the floor facing Miroku. "What happened?"
Miroku lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened five years ago Sango."
"What?" Sango was surprised that he would mention the past right now.
Miroku looked sadly into her eyes. "Can you give me your forgiveness Sango?"
"If I do, will you stop locking yourself in here?" Sango asked.
"No, there's nothing for me out there. There's something wrong with me Sango." Miroku explained in a soft voice, grabbing another wine bottle.
"No," Sango said, taking it away from him. "I think you had enough. Now, what in the world are you talking about?"
Miroku took in a deep breath. He wanted for someone to understand him so bad. He wanted someone to be here with him, and he knew that keep inside ... he wanted that person to be her. Sango. "I'm cursed. My mother left when I was eight, and I never heard from her again. Maybe that's why I can't stay with one woman for a long time. I start to think that she'll leave me too. I have no trust in love. That's why I ruined the best chance at love I ever had. With you."
"Love?" Sango repeated softly. He isn't the only one with trouble in that department.
"Recently, my father ..." Miroku stopped, taking in another breath. "The hospital called me in two days ago because my father ... Yesterday, doctor told me he passed away because of cancer."
Sango gasped. "I'm so sorry," she whispered. "But you have to be strong. I know he wants you to be happy."
"I can't ... he's the only one I had left. The only one I was able to fully love. Without him, nothing's left. I lost everything."
Sango thought back to her past. She had felt like that once with her parents died in a car accident. "No," she said firmly, "you still have friends, Miroku. You still have Inuyasha, Kagome, and ... me."
"You're only here because of Kagome." He said, accusingly.
"No, I'm here because I care." She said, almost angrily.
"I missed this," he said, "remember when we were dating and how you were always mad at me." He give a small smile at the memory. "I wish things can go back the way they were."
"They can." Sango protested.
Miroku shook his head and leaned back. "There's a great chance I'll get cancer too."
Her reaction was not what he had expected. He thought she would pity him or cry, but she give him a small smile. "We all die in some way, so let's live each day to the fullest, ok?" She said, giving him a big hug.
He loved the way she smelled. How soft she is. How much she care for him. That was one of the things he missed the most. 'She is so beautiful,' he thought to himself as the wine takes it effect, and he kissed her.
Miroku was drunk on wine and feelings. Sango didn't taste the wine at all, but she was drunk on emotions. She had missed him for so long, but she had ignore it because he hurt her so much. 'I shouldn't,' she thought, 'but I want to. I want to be with him.' She shut off the logical mind and followed her heart.
One thing led to another, but it felt so right.
-----
'This is so wrong.' Sango thought when she found herself laying next to Miroku the next morning. A wave of nausea, and she wanted to throw up. 'What had I done?'
Miroku woke up, smiling from his dream ... until he saw Sango's face. It hadn't been a dream.
"What are we going to do?" She whispered. What if she gets pregnant? What will people say? How is she going to get out of this one?
Miroku frowned. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! How could I had done this to Sango?' Then, it struck him. A way out of all this. "Sango, will you marry me?"
"WHAT?" She screamed out. 'Then again,' she thought to herself, 'that could work.' It was a perfect plan. If she and Miroku both cared for each other, it would eventually have led to marriage and then ... this. So, they just messed up the order a little. "Yes. I will marry you."
-----
[End Flashback]
Sango groaned at her own stupidity. How could she possibly think it was that simple? A one night stand doesn't lead to marriage. But it was the only thing she could do ... after their mistake. 'I went from one mistake to another.' Sango thought. 'Both Miroku and I. Our marriage. Our mistake.'

[Author's Note] I was writing this chapter while I had [ or should I say "am still having" ] a fever, oiiiii. The chapter is extremely long and took forever to write. My head still feels kind of hot, so laters. You guys will review, right? REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

In the next chapter, you will get to see the continue of their past through Miroku's point of view. You guys got to see why they marry, now you'll get to see why they broke up. I know there wasn't any humor or much action in this chapter. I'll put some in the next one, The Fights.
[Disclaimer] Notice that this is at the bottom of the story, hehe. I doubt people actually read this. This is from my experience as both a fanfic writer and reader. The disclaimer is as annoying to the author to write as for the reader to see. ^-^
