[ Chapter 4 : The Fights ]
Miroku closed his eyes against the bright sunlight. "Damn," he muttered. "Three days already." He kicked a bottle and watched it rolled merrily away. Miroku sighed to himself. These last three days had got him thinking a lot. About him ... about her ... about their marriage. He knew where she was. All he had to do is pick up the phone and dial Kagome's number ... but he couldn't he allowed himself to. Looking around at the bottles on the ground, Miroku had a flashback ... of another time similar to this. That time, however, he had Sango by his side. Miroku groaned and ran a hand through his tangle mess of hair. This time, he is truly alone.
[Flashbacks : (during the marriage)]
Mistake #1 :
"Sango, you promised!" Miroku was frustrated. He had taken the day off work, made dinner reservations at a romantic restaurant, made so much plans for the evening, and yet ... she had to work. An annoying thought hit Miroku. Why hadn't he thought of it before? "Sango, who just called you?"
"Hojo. He wanted me to help him finish some files." Sango said reluctantly because she knew how Miroku would react. "Miroku, you know Hojo had been helping me a lot since I transferred to the new company. I can't just bail out on him when he needs my help."
'But you can bail out on me.' Miroku thought bitterly. He knew he was being childish, but there was something about this Hojo guy that he didn't like. Hojo had been following Kagome around since high school. However, after she got married to Inuyasha, he seemed to switch interest into Sango.
"I understand how you feel about Hojo," Sango said, grabbing her suitcase, "but he's not a bad guy once you get to know him. Anyways, I'll be back around 11 tonight, ok?" Without giving her husband a chance to answer, she slammed the door.
Miroku sighed. Great, what was he supposed to do alone on their three months anniversary while some other guy gets to spend time with his wife? Then, a thought cheered him up. Sooner or later, Sango will have to eat dinner. Smiling, he went into the kitchen. Who needs fancy restaurant? Miroku was not a bad cook himself.
-----
Miroku's head jerked up at the sound of keys ringing at the door. Glancing up at the clock, he knew it had to be Sango. It was almost midnight, and the food was left at the table.
"Miroku?" Sango asked, surprised. "Why are you up so late?" She yawned.
"I was waiting for you." He smiled at her. "See, I thought we could have dinner together. You're probably starving by now."
"Um ... Hojo and I went out to eat already." Sango mumbled.
"What?" Miroku's eyes grew dark. "You ... and Hojo? I thought you said you guys were working." He stated sarcastically.
"We were. We just got hungry. I didn't know that you were planning dinner. I'm really sorry." Sango said and headed for the bedroom.
"I can't believe you." Miroku managed to choke out.
Sango whirled around. "What? You make it sounded as if it's my fault. You never told me you were preparing dinner. I got hungry, so I went to eat. Is that a crime?"
"Fine! You know what Sango? I don't care anymore. Screw this anniversary!" Miroku shouted before leaving the house to go for a drive.
-----
Mistake #2 :
It had been weeks since that incident, and Miroku was no longer mad. He was very happy, in fact. Sango had felt so guilty about everything, she had even taken a couple days off of work to spend time with him. Tonight, they had rented a movie to watch together.
Sango bent over on the sofa to reach for the remote. "Ahhhh!" She screamed when she felt a hand on her butt. "Miroku, you're such a pervert!" She growled, hitting him on the head.
"You know you wouldn't have me any other way." He smiled at her when he noticed her cheeks becoming red.
"Grave Of Fireflies," Sango read the movie's title out loud. "I heard it was a good movie." Miroku nodded, not really caring what the movie was about. After 30 minutes into the movie, he noticed something was wrong. Sango was no longer looking into the screen.
"What's the matter?" he asked, worried. He touched her shoulder, but she pushed his fingers off.
"Nothing. Nothing at all. I'm just feeling a little tired. I'm going to bed." Sango stated.
Watching her retreating figure, Miroku frowned. Why wouldn't Sango tell him what was bothering her? Could it be the movie? Miroku thought about to the plot. It was about a boy whose younger sister had died of a disease. He couldn't understand why Sango had not confided in him what was wrong when he told her everything about his past. Come to think of it, he knew nothing about her past. Then, he understood. Sango did not trust him.

Mistake #3 :
Miroku stood at the coffee shop. It was a cold winter day, and he needed a warm cup of coffee to pull him through the day.
"Miroku." He felt a soft tap on his shoulder.
"Miko?" Miroku asked. He hadn't seen her around for ages. "How has it been?"
"I'm fine. It's nice meeting you here." She leaned in closer to his ear. "Maybe we can catch up where we left off?"
Miroku gently pushed her away. "Sorry Miko, but I'm taken." He smiled, showing her his thin wedding ring.
She gasped. "Miroku? Married? I thought I'll never live to see the day." She muttered.
"Funny how life works, isn't it?" Miroku grinned.
"Where's the lucky girl now?" Miko frowned, looking around.
"She's somewhere around town. Shopping with Kagome, I think." Miroku replied, scratching his head.
"Really?" Miko smiled. "Well, I haven't been around here forever, and I can't seem remember some places. I was wondering if you can take me here." She showed him a small map pointing to a set of apartments. "I'm supposed to meet a relative there."
"Sure." Miroku replied, grabbing his to-go coffee cup.
-----
"There's the place." Miroku smiled, pointing to the apartments. "Listen, I got to get home, so I'll see you around." He turned around and headed for home.
"Wait Miroku. I want to thank you for ... helping me out." She reached up and kissed him gently on the lips.
Miroku, on instinct, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back ... until he saw Sango glaring at them.
[/ End Flashbacks]
Miroku sighed. He couldn't exactly remember why he had kissed Miko back, but he knew it had something to do with his frustration with Sango. "One way or another, Sango and I weren't meant to be together." Sighing he got up and saw a pile of mails under the door vent. He was about to look away when it saw that one of it came from Sango. Opening it, he skimmed over the words, until he caught the words :
pleading for a divorce ... unworkable problems ... sign ... Sango ...
There was an empty place for him to sign at the bottom next to hers. Miroku knew what he had to do.
