This is a Miroku introspective from a challenge about protection. (It's about Sango.)
Protecting You
I notice I'm always around you. I can't help it. I have chosen you. From the first day I met you I knew. You wonder why I'm always with you. You wonder what I must see in you. I'm always with you because I know I must protect you. If I don't protect you, my life will mean nothing. I might as well have the gods take my life where I stand. Just stay away. I wouldn't want to hurt you.
And what do I see in you? I see the rain. I see the sun. I see hope. I see determination. I see love.
You might think you need protection from me and my double cursed hand. I'm sorry. I'll work on that. Just know that my hands are yours and yours alone. It is hard to stop a man set in his ways, but I'm trying. I'm trying to protect the woman I love.
