Sango's Reply
by Miroku
It is now morning and I am filled with worry I keep receiving odd looks form Sango. I must be right, she can hear my thoughts. She is walking next to me brown eyes piercing my soul, reading everything about me.
Really, though I did tell her the truth I hadn't uttered a word last night. Then again does the truth even matter, I should have said what I was thinking. Still to imagine me telling her that petrifies me with fear. I could not face rejection. Subconsciously I reach out to touch her, thank the gods I realized it and drew back. I am such a lecher with her why do I want to express all my feelings just to know I am not worthy of her?
The sun catches her midnight trees and lights a fire in her brown eyes. Her rose lips are pressed together firmly, she is obviously thinking. Hmm, gazing at me and thinking, can it be, is she thinking of me? I release my worries at this point to gaze at her. Ah, I have received as slight smile. So then without contemplating it I return it with a lecherous grin. She is taken aback; how could I be such a baka? I could have simply smiled, but no I had to I give her a lecherous look. Okay, I'm tired of watching, I have to find my courage and tell her. . .
Wait that, what was that, a brush against my hand. I turn and look at Sango, and she's blushing, I look at her "Sango . . .?" I whisper.
"Yes, Miroku?"
Oh I love how she says my name "Remember last night you asked if I said anything."
"Yes I do, you said no."
"Correct and that was the truth, but I was thinking about you."
"Really, I'm flattered."
I had to continue my only chance "About your beauty, your love, and my habit."
"So. . .Miroku I am afraid I don't understand."
Then my mind freezes all I heard was my name and I loved it. With my mind out of commission my hear takes over. Blazing emotion fills me; I have no self-control "I love you Sango, my goddess!" I proclaim.
She stops touches my shoulder her lips smiling, yet her eyes are laced with tears. She moves closer both hands on my shoulders I close my eyes as day is descending into night and our lips met. She allows me to continue the kiss as I put my left hand behind her head, my right on her arm. We are surrounded by fireflies the first embers of a blazing love.
