[ Chapter 9 : Sango Vs. Miko ]

Miroku eyes lazily drifted open. He could feel the rumble on the bed as Sango tried to free herself from the ball of blanket she had created the night before.

"Morning, Uncle Miroku," Sango said brightly as she crawled off the bed and rushed into the kitchen.

Miroku almost laughed at the sight of her. She was so carefree, so happy ... so unlike the real Sango. "She's just a child." He muttered to himself with a smile.

"Uncle Miroku? Help me! I can't cook, and I'm hungry!" Sango's voice blasted into his bedroom.

"I'm coming! I'm coming! Don't touch anything!" Miroku sighed, grabbing his slippers. Sango never could cook, even when she was an adult.

-----

"Ouch!" Sango shouted in reflex when her finger reached too close to the fire. Turning around, she could see Miroku's angry face looking down at her.

"I told you not to touch the kitchen." He grabbed her hand and led her to the water faucet.

"But Uncle Miroku, I was only trying to help." Sango muttered, refusing to believe that she did anything wrong.

"Here," he sprayed a foam on her finger to stop the swelling and went on the start breakfast. "You can help by setting the table, and I'll make breakfast." They both turned their heads at the sound of the doorbell.

"I'll get it!" Sango shouted as she rushed to the door. "Auntie Kagome!" Sango smiled. "Did you come to visit me?"

Kagome laughed. "Of course. You're my favorite ... niece in the whole world. I'm planning to go to the Christmas Eve festival. Do you want to come?"

"Wait, I have to ask Uncle Miroku first!"

-----

"Stupid festival. I don't know why you drag me here, Kagome." Inuyasha grumbled.

"Because it's romantic, idiot!" Kagome sighed, looking over at Miroku and Sango. Miroku had small smile on his face, and Sango was barely paying attention. She was too busy restraining herself from running everywhere at once.

"Look at all the lights Uncle Miroku! They're so pretty! Oh, there's a wishing well. Let's go!" She eagerly pulled Miroku toward the well.

"Wait Sango, you're going too fast!" Miroku yelled at her as she dragged him across the parade away from the group.

-----

"Wow! It's almost like a real well." Sango exclaimed leaning over the edge.

"Don't fall over." Miroku laughed, pulling her back.

"Oh, look! There's the ice cream booth. Can I have some? Please."

Miroku sighed. As if he can say no. "Sure, let's go."

Sango took the money. "No, you stay. I'll go. After all, I am a big girl." And you're really slow. She thought to herself with a smile.

-----

Miroku turned back to the well and laughed. "As if a wish can be so simply achieved. Only a child will believe in this." However, it wouldn't hurt to try. Miroku closed his eyes and thought about what he wanted most in the world. "I wish ... that Sango will be by my side forever." He whispered, tossing a coin into the well.

-----

"Uncle Miroku," Sango said on the car ride back home. "Thanks for winning me a goldfish."

"You're welcome." Miroku laughed.

"I'll name him ... Kohaku." Sango smiled, watching the fish swimming around.

"Really? That's a nice name."

"Yes, it is." Sango whispered. She could feel her eyes stinging, but she didn't know why.

-----

It was evening by the time they got back home. Sango went to open the door when they had another visitor.

"Hello." Sango greeted the pretty woman at the door.

-----

Miko's eyes nearly popped out when she saw none other than Miroku's wife.

"You're back." She said numbly.

"Yes," Sango nodded, "who are you?"

Miko cleared the lump in her throat. "I am the other woman."

"What?" Sango asked. Who was this woman? Did she come for Miroku?

"Miroku is mine now, you slut." The woman growled. "He no longer belongs to you. Let go of him!"

"No! Uncle Miroku loves me! So you can just leave!" Sango was about to slam the door when Miroku appeared at the scene.

"What was all the yelling about?" Miroku mumbled. "Oh, hello Miko. I'm sorry. I forgot that you were coming today."

"Miroku, I'm tired of this." Miko sighed. "It's time for you to chose. It's either her or me."

Miroku frowned. "Why should I chose? You're my friend, and Sango ... Sango is ..." Miroku paused to think. What can he say in a situation like this?

"I'm your niece!" Sango said, tugging on Miroku's shirt.

"Yes, yes, you are." Miroku patted the girl's head. "Now, be a good girl and let me talk to Miss Miko alone." Sango pouted and ran to her room.

Miko narrowed her eyes. "I'm sick of waiting for you Miroku. I had always loved you, and you know it. Remember at the prom? You were dating Sango back then, but you kissed me, Miroku. Even in your marriage, you can't forget me." Miko grabbed Miroku's hand. "I had always waited for you. I was there for you when she left."

Miroku pulled away. "I thought I made it clear, Miko. I care for you, but only as a friend. I love Sango, and I will always love her ... no matter how she feels about me. I'm sorry if I had given you any false hope."

"But Miroku, I could be the perfect woman for you while Sango ... she has the mind of a child. How much longer can you stand her before you need a real woman?" Miko moved closer to Miroku. "Leave her Miroku. Please."

"I'm sorry, Miko. I have to stand by her. I can't hurt her again."

"Damn you!" Miko cursed and slapped him hard across the face. "I will hate you forever Miroku!" She screamed.

-----

Sango was tired of sitting in her room. She wanted so badly to check out what was happening between Miroku and that woman. When she couldn't wait any longer, she silently tiptoed out of her room. She found Miroku sitting on the sofa, staring into space. "Did the mean woman leave yet?" Sango whispered, walking toward Miroku.

"Yes, she did." Miroku let out a long sigh.

"Is she ever coming back?" Sango climbed onto the sofa.

"No, I highly doubt it." Miroku answered with a soft chuckle.

"Good. I didn't like her." Sango smiled as she cuddled to her Uncle Miroku. "Tomorrow is Christmas." Sango cheered, trying to change the subject. "That's my favorite holiday, you know?"

"Really?" Miroku asked. Strange, the Sango he knew hated Christmas.

"Yes, I like to be with my family during ..." Sango stopped, biting her lips. Family. Father. Mother. Kohaku.

"Are you ok Sango?" Miroku asked.

"Yes. I was just a little ditzy. I'm all better now."

"I got you a present for Christmas this year, you know?" Miroku smirked.

"Really?" Sango shrieked. "What is it? Where is it?"

"You'll just have to find out tomorrow." Miroku laughed waggling his finger.

"I don't like to wait." Sango smiled. She'll find that gift. One way or another.

-----

Sango tiptoed into Miroku's room while he was out buying dinner. "The present has got to be in here." She whispered to herself. "I had searched everywhere else." She peeked under the bed and messed up all the clothes in the closet. "Where? Where can it be?" Then, she spotted the cabinet. "Bingo!" Sango whispered excitedly. Sticking her hand in, she felt around until her fingers stopped on a small familiar object.

It was a gold ring. The one that Miroku used to wear when they were .... the one he had promised her that he will never take off ... the one that represented his love for her ... Sango stared numbly at the ring as she felt a solid tear slide down her cheek. Everything came back.

[Author's Note] Almost done, YAY! I hope you guys enjoyed the story so far. Am I updating too slow? No, right? hehe I'm thinking if I should write a *epilogue* (Thanks Sci-Fi Raptor! See what happens when I write too much. My thoughts get jumbled up.) after Ch. 10 to tie everything together or not. Just a thought, lol.

Oh this is strange, but true. I got in a car accident a couple days ago. -.-;; It was a small one, and no one got hurt, thank goodness. It's weird though because I wrote about Sango getting in a car accident ... ok, so anyways, just a thought. Maybe, I should write about happier things. ^-^

Review! Review! ^-^

[Hopefully, I didn't miss anyone! If I did, be sure to tell me, ^-^]

[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. ^-^
