Chapter Three
Now And Then She'll Get To Worrying
(Sango's point of view. The area she is in is densely forested. Sango can barely see, her eyes are so teary. Her face is red and her whole body is shaking. She holds her legs to her body, but she still feels cold.)
I feel so… so… so stupid. Sango, you fart-head. You shouldn't have said that to Miroku.
I mean, it's not true. I don't hate Miroku. Actually, once you get over his perversion, he's a good friend. So why…?
I can't stop crying. And it's all over him…
I'm so confused.
Voice: Don't be.
Sango: What?!
Voice: Confused. You said you felt confused.
I said that? I just thought that I was…
Voice: Isn't that called love?
Sango pulls out the giant boomerang.
Sango: LEAVE ME ALONE!
Sango throws the boomerang. It gets stuck in a tree.
Who is this person? Am I really going insane?!
Voice: You're perfectly sane, Sango-san.
How can I trust a – wait.
Sango: How do you know my name?
Voice: I know a lot, Sango-san.
(A beautiful fairie emerges from the depths of the bushes. She has long, shining blue hair, stunning dark eyes, and a graceful and slim frame. She is dressed in a dark red dress, a good contrast to her beige skin.)
Fairie: Why do you hate him?
Sango: What?
Oh, that was an intelligent statement.
But I still don't trust her. I bet she's one of Sesshomaru's lackeys.
Fairie: I'm not with Sesshomaru. I'm here for you.
Fairie drapes her arms around Sango.
I need to do something… but this feels so warm… so inviting… familiar…
(A shadowy figure appears in Sango's mind, holding her gently.)
Fairie: That's right, Sango-san. Stay here.
Fairie takes out Sango's hair band in such a way that it feels like it just fell out. Sango blinks, and goes down to pick it up.
There's no way my hair band could've fallen out of my hair… but…
Fairie: Your hair looks magnificent that way.
Sango blushes.
Fairie pretends to comb out a snarl with her fingers, but she actually places a curse on Sango, by drawing a symbol with her finger on Sango's neck. Sango doesn't feel this, but her mind feels the effects of the curse immediately.
Sango! Pull yourself together! She obviously cannot be trusted! She's a strange fairie, for God's sake! She could – have - …
…Miroku-sama.
(we return to Miroku's point of view.)
Wow. I figured Sango would be back by now. Maybe if I had sucked her into my giant black hole when I had the chance, this wouldn't have happened. But I didn't. Oh well, too late for that now.
Inuyasha turns over a rock for no reason.
Inuyasha: Miroku-san, if you hadn't left, this would've never happened.
Shippo: Don't blame Miroku-kun. Sango-chan ran away cuz she chose to.
Kagome: The world doesn't work that way.
Miroku looks down into the remains of last night's campfire.
So… the world doesn't work that way. Is that what she thinks? It makes sense, but… it sounds so meaningless. So cold.
Like Sango-san.
Shippo-kun's lying. It is my fault. Inuyasha's right. If I hadn't left…
Miroku feels his heart beat in his ears.
If I hadn't left…
Miroku feels a dribble of sweat near his eyes.
… this wouldn't have happened.
Kagome: Miroku-san, I wanted to ask you something.
Oh my Lord. The letter! Holy crap! Kyaa – what to do? Kyaa – oh Lord no!! Act natural – wait, no, act refined. Stand up – no, sit down – what do I do?!
Kagome: Did you mean what you wrote?
Inuyasha sticks his nail into a rock, making a nauseous 'tunk' noise that only Miroku can hear.
How do I tell her that?
And I don't want to be on the receiving end of that 'tunk' noise.
Miroku is already red.
Miroku: Well… er… I, um… ah… yes.
Kagome slaps Miroku.
Kagome: So you love me?!
Miroku: Yes…
Inuyasha makes the off-putting 'tunk' noise again.
Okay. I know what I have to do.
Miroku pulls Kagome to him and kisses her.
DISCLAIMER: Oh yeah! I don't own Inuyasha! Break it down! (starts dancing for no reason)
