Chapter Seven-Always There
Inuyasha called me a few times, hearing the news from Kagome, who heard it from Sango, asking if I was okay. I kept telling him I was fine, but he came over to stay the night, just in case I had a "nervous breakdown." When he came in, he had a sleeping bag, and plenty of medication.
He spent hours just talking with me, but I never told him about what I found out about Sango. I kept that to myself. I didn't want him to freak out anymore than he already was.
Inuyasha rolled out his sleeping bag on my couch, and I stood, leaning against my bedroom door. Inuyasha looked at me, "are you sure you're alright?"
I shrugged, "I'm doing okay. It's not everyday that someone gets attacked by a demon."
Inuyasha stood up and looked at me with softer eyes than before. "That's not what I was talking about."
I frowned, "then what are you talking about?"
He sighed and walked up to me, giving me a brotherly hug. I stood still, stunned and confused. When he let me go, he still had those soft eyes. I made a face, "are you ok?"
He sighed again, "Sango said you were upset. She said it might have had something to do with her being... married."
I shrugged, trying not to so any emotion on the fact. "It's alright, it's her life, not mine."
"But from what she said, she thinks that you really liked her."
I looked at him, straight in the eye, still trying to hide my emotion. "Inuyasha, if I wasn't okay with it, I would have told you about, wouldn't I?"
Inuyasha looked confused, "I guess so."
"You guess?"
"Well, with that whole Kohina thing, I didn't think you would want to bring up a subject like that ever again."
'Bingo,' I thought, 'that's exactly the point.'
"Miroku, I'm just really worried about you. Not only because of that demon, but also because of your emotions. After what happened with Kohina, you've been shallower, hidden, lost in your thoughts. When you got that job at church, I thought it would bring out your pain, and it did for a while. But... I'm just worried that you will do something you'd regret. I'm just worried, that's all."
I looked away, "I can't do anything. I wouldn't do anything even if I wanted to. You've got nothing to worry about."
He didn't say anything, and neither did I. We stood there, his eyes on me, and my eyes cast out the window in my room. He sighed, "okay then, good night, Miroku."
"Good night, Inuyasha," I said, walking into my room and shutting the door behind me as he walked to the couch to lay down.
I leaned against the door for a moment, the moon's rays shining on me through the blinds of the window, hitting my like a bullet. I walked slowly over to my bed, stumbling along the way, trying to get my feet to move.
That battle took a lot out of me, and I was still living it in my dreams. Two days ago... just two days ago I was attacked by a demon, a creature not of this world, and that same day I found out that Sango, the only woman I had even considered loving since Kohina, was married. Could things be any better for me?
I lay on my bed, the mattress feeling soft, and the sheets nice and cold. My pillows were fluffed, and I closed my eyes. Maybe tonight I'd get some sleep, getting things off of my mind. Relax. Sleep. That was all I needed right now.
I took a deep breath, and fell asleep.
~*~
Sango was standing at the end of a long, dark tunnel, her hands reaching out to me, waiting for me to arrive in her arms. I stood there, standing next to Kyle, Sango's husband. We glanced at each other, and then darted off towards the waiting beauty. The wind picked up speed, and so did Kyle. He was ahead of me by a few feet, almost in Sango's arms.
I knew that I wouldn't make it. I knew that she would take him in her arms, hold him tightly, and kiss the winner. It wasn't going to be me. And I knew it. I had to take a chance, though. So. I dove for it. I threw myself in the air, pushing myself forward, trying to land in her soft, smooth arms.
But, I feel, and Kyle was in her arms, holding onto her tightly. I lay there on the ground, right next to their feet as they stood together, holding onto each other for dear life, as if they let go, they would die and vanish forever.
I looked up, saw them kissing, and felt myself falling through the ground. I looked under me, and saw the ground turn into quick sand, and I was sinking. I tried to reach for Sango's feet, tried to call out her name, but nothing worked. She was paying attention to Kyle.
I cried out, the sand covering my chest now, and still moving up. Now my neck. Now my mouth. My nose. My eyes. The last bits of sand passed over my head, and I was swimming in sand. I couldn't see ahead of me, I had no clue as to where I was now.
"Miroku!"
~*~
I jumped up from my sleeping position, seeing Inuyasha standing on the side of the bed, glaring at me. I moaned, my head feeling like a dozen elephants walked over me. I touched my head with my cold hand, and it relieved some of the pain.
"Miroku, you've got a visitor," he said, and waved his hand to the person waiting out in the living room.
Sango walked into my room, and my headache got worse. "This has to be a nightmare," I whispered, hoping she wouldn't hear me.
"I'm sorry it's not," she replied, looking down at her hands.
"No, that's not what I meant," I said, but stopped myself from speaking anymore. I mentally kicked myself in the butt for that comment.
"Miroku, I'm sorry I didn't explain everything to you the other day." She said, still looking at her hands.
"What do you mean, everything?" I asked. "Is there more to the story?"
She nodded, "a little more."
"Then what is it?"
"Kyle is my husband, but we are separated," she said. "I was going to tell you about it the night we took care of you, but, Kyle told me not to. See, he doesn't like word to get around that we are separated. He wants people to think that we are a happily married couple."
"Which you're not?"
She shook her head. "No, we're not."
I sat up, "what's the problem, then?"
She sighed, and looked like she was about to cry. "I... I can't tell you... yet."
I sighed, and stood up. "Sango, is there something hurting you?"
She didn't say anything.
"If there is, you can always tell me," I said, wrapping my arms around her and holding her in a gentle embrace. "I'm always here for you."
Surprisingly, she held me back. "Thank you," she whispered, her lips on my shoulder. "And I'll always be here for you, too."
"Thank you."
We stood there, our arms wrapped around each other's, just holding onto each other. I was afraid to say anything, afraid to ruin the moment, and make it awkward for her. I didn't say a word, and neither did she. It appeared like she was thinking the same as me.
The moment stayed, for a long time. And for that entire time, not one of us spoke a signal word.
