Note: Well this is it…enjoy. The person kind of changes from the beginning to the end so hope I didn't confuse you guys.
Miroku ran as fast as he could back to the hilltop he saw Sango at earlier. While he was getting closer and closer he was wondering exactly what he would say to her? It had to be just right, yet not perfect. This might be his only chance to get this right. Emotions were going haywire as he realized exactly what he was about to do.
'Sango…I really do care for you… Sango did you really mean it when you said you loved me?' Not one of these would work. As he got closer and into view of the hill he slowed his pace to a fast walk. 'I have to do this now before I loose all my courage.' 'Its interesting, No matter what I do she still gives me the nerves.' He started wondering if this is exactly how he should feel.
Miroku finally made it to the bottom of the hill. Sango was lying on her back looking at the sky. It was a clear and beautiful day with many clouds in the sky. 'I wonder what she is thinking about. Could I ever be on her thoughts?' She looked beautiful as she stared into the distance. She hasn't spoken much sense the incident, and together we hadn't spoken at all. There was no time left. I had to act now.
"Sango?" I said barely above a whisper. She turned her head at me and acknowledged my presence. I shouldn't have expected her to answer me. But I could have at least been hopeful. The time was finally here but I had no clue what to do. All the prior practice had left me helpless and my head was spinning in many different directions. She now sat up strait and looked at me. Her eyes held mine for awhile but quickly looked aside.
"What do you want Miroku?" She said softly. Her voice was full of confusion and sadness. This made my heart break and my small amount of confidence dwindle to nothing. I decided to sit down beside her. I hopped this might help the words come out a little easier and I my legs hurt from the run earlier.
"I just wanted to talk." That was the only decent thing I could come up with. Sango shifted a little maybe uncomfortable with my presence there
"Then talk." She stated simply. Still looking at the ground and probably wondering what I was going to try to pry out of her. I had to do something to keep her interest fast before I lost it all together.
"I wanted to talk about all that has happened." Yeah maybe that was a good place to start. "Do you remember anything from it?"
Thinking lines started to form in her brow. "It all feels like a dream. Something you just woken from but can't remember anything. Though you feel likes its important, and imperative that you remember. But I have thought for days now with very little to show for it." I felt bad really I did. A lot happened to Sango in her dreams. Was it right if I reminded her?
"Do you remember anything that happened between us Sango?" I couldn't look at her now. It was too hard. The grass danced in the wind as I finished my sentence and I didn't know if I wanted to hear the answer.
"Yes I do" she said "I know that you saved me."
"Is that it?"
"That's all I remember. What do you know monk?"
This was it. It was finally the time. "You told me you loved me Sango. You don't remember that."
Sango finally raised her head and achnologed me. "Somehow I do remember that. I know I told you that, but I don't remember your response. I was just hoping I was wrong, and hadn't said anything. But I see now that I was wrong."
"But did you mean it Sango?"
This took her a few minutes to respond to. Her natural instincts I knew were telling her to lie and say no. To refuse me right then and there. Something else inside of her was saying to tell her feelings no matter what the outcome.
"I did mean it Miroku." She finally said.
"Sango for years now I have been asking you and about every other female I have come in contact with to bear me a child. And though it is a deep desire for me, I'm going to ask you something I have not asked any other woman." This captured her interest. She now looked at me with a questioning look. Probably not prepared for what I was going to say next. I got on my knee for added effect. It was something my dad taught me right before he died, if I ever meet the right woman.
"Sango will you be my wife. Will you let me be your partner in defeating Naraku and in life? I have known this for awhile but especially now. I realized I would do anything to ensure your happiness. Though it may be hard to believe if you said yes to me I would only be loyal to you. I would be lying if I said that this wouldn't make me the happiest monk in the world and I hope it would make you happy too."
She just stared at me in shock. Finally she crept in a smile "Would you promise me one thing monk?"
"Anything Sango."
"Could we have a daughter too?"
We couldn't help but bursting out laughing at this. I took her in my arms and we just laid there. Nothing ever before had felt so wonderful and so pure. At least now I knew Sango would always be apart of my life.
