Never Thought

Chapter 6

Kouga silently cursed the monk in to the seven hells. Sango shouldn't even be considering taking that bastard back. She really shouldn't, he saw how that monk was hitting on the females. What makes her think that he wouldn't still do that if she went back with him?

Then again she never did say she would go back to him... but that look in her eyes... he'd never seen it before. She didn't even remember him while she looked at Miroku. That stupid monk was trying to steal her away. That was just plain cruel.

This was like with Kagome. Only it was a half-breed instead of a human. Everyone knows that even a half-breed is better than a human. Other than humans of course. How could they do that to him? He'd just have to make sure that monk knew that it was HIS female. There was no way that monk would win her back.

Sango had freed herself of his arms. She looked as though she was going to faint. He really didn't like that look at all. Didn't suit her at all. "I'm going to... going to get some water..." She said staring into space as she walked out.

It was amazing she could walk. "So I'm guessing I should take that for a yes." Miroku said noticing the possessive look in Kouga's eyes. "A yes to what?" Kouga questioned. Not like he remembered something that happened only a few minutes ago.

"That you have fallen in love with Sango." Miroku said a glint in his eye. "Damn right. And she's MINE monk." He added with venom in his voice. Miroku let out a smile laugh. Like he would let Sango go with out a fight? Kouga must have hit his head during the fight.

Miroku had never had a rival before. It was rather awkward. He was used to Sango being his and his alone. No body else ever tried to steal her before. That's when a thought hit him. What if Sango was only the rebound? What if he was so broken after Kagome dumped him in the dirt for Inu-yasha he moved onto Sango.

Miroku started talking himself into believing that. It didn't take more then thirty seconds. "So your just using Sango because Kagome didn't return you love... she's just your rebound." He said darkly to Kouga. This was war. "What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" Kouga yelled. Now he was pissed.

"You only want Sango because Kagome didn't want you. Sango must have been easy pray since she had just left me so you must have been her rebound." Miroku said putting the pieces together in his mind.

Kouga could feel his anger rising. "Rot in hell monk!!!" How dare he try to make it seem like Kouga didn't care about Sango. He was going to hurt Miroku so bad that Inu-yasha would have trouble finding out who the body was.

Sango walked back in just at that moment. The sinister look on Miroku's face disappeared replaced by a friendly smile. "Hello Sango. I hope your feeling better." She smiled back unknowing of Miroku's fake smile. "I feel much better. Thanks Miroku." She said to him. This was so fake it almost made Kouga throw up. Not a nice feeling mind you.

Sango looked at Kouga who had a look of distaste on his face. She didn't know what to do. She still had deep feelings for Kouga, but the love of her life was here. She loved Miroku with all her heart and soul. Or so she thought.

Miroku was a womanizer like everyone said but he was also one of the most kind people you could meet. He was almost like an older brother to her. Other then the fact that they were planning on being married. Kouga never mentioned anything about a marriage or a mating or something like that.

She felt herself hug Miroku. She loved him so much. Then she turned and looked at Kouga. Kouga's eyes had gone big at the fact she hugged Miroku. It made her sad in its own little way. She loved him too... but... she could only ever have one.

It hurt her heart to look at them both. So alike but so different. What was she going to do?

(It's not that hard...) what? Yes it is! (No isn't! Miroku has never tried to be there for you. Your thoughts earlier were right! He is more of a big brother! Not a lover.) That's a lie! I love him with all my hear(STOP!!! If you think about it the only time he makes time for you is on his watch! He never holds you when you need to be held! He tells you he loves you when you need to be told her loves you! Has he ever told you he loved you?)

No... (That right there should tell ya something!!) But... (Kouga would do anything for you!!) How do I know that? (Well you don't but you know that Miroku will never be with you like Kouga can!) What do you mean? (Kouga will take care of you always! He'll always be with you and only you! Must I go on?)

No I guess not... but still I've been with Miroku so long. (That was in a brother sister fashion now wasn't it?) I guess so... (Kouga's the only one for you!) Your right! Miroku has a million other women he could be with! (That's the spirit! Now tell Kouga you love him and tell Miroku to get lost!) Not so easy...

Sango had dazed off for a while. She had been leaning against a wall of the cave. Miroku was looking at her for the longest time. Then he noticed she was asleep. "I'm going for a walk." He announced to the now empty cave. Kouga had gone off some where, obviously mad about Sango hugging him.

Miroku had a feeling she'd be back in his arms by the end of the day. Miroku walked out of the cave staff in hand. He needed a little fresh air. The wind was blowing slightly as he walked out in to the sun light. It seemed like only yesterday he set off to find Sango.

He didn't know what he was so worried for. Sango would always come back to him. She didn't have anyone else. Not that he knew of anyway.

Kouga was lying on a rock on the mountain side. He was way higher up then the cave Sango rested in so he couldn't even see the monk. His arms propped his head up. He was looking at the cloud filled sky. He couldn't see the sun from the side of the mountain he rested on.

He thought about Sango's actions earlier that day. Did she really love Miroku? Maybe she really wasn't over him. Was she really just his rebound? It felt like so much more to him. Did she feel the same way? Maybe he was just HER rebound.

Love made life so complicated. Then again it might not have even been love he was feeling. It made his heart sink to think she would be with anyone but him. In a matter of fact it made him mad. Though it really shouldn't... since he loved her shouldn't he want the best for her?

Hey Stupid are you there? (NO) But I need your help! (I said I wouldn't help you cause you were being so rude to me you meany!) I'm sorry! Now will you help me or what? (Sure I guess... what's the problem?) I think Sango's gonna go back to Miroku.

(Well it's her choice and stuff...) What the fuck?!? That isn't helping!! (Hey ya know what?) What (If Sango really loves you she'll dump Miroku in the dirt... if not then you should let her be happy. Even if you're not.) yeah... I guess... (See how smart I am?) You can stop talking to me again! (Fine...Fine you big 'ol meany!!)

Kouga glared at the sky. That didn't make him feel any better at all. God, he hated that stupid part of his mind. He jumped up. He had to admit... the stupid thing was right. He should let Sango decide. He just had to convince her she was the right choice!

Kouga raced back down the mountain side. It was time to talk to Sango. It was time to find out... did she love him or the monk?

Miroku continued on his walk. He was in the forest and began walking back. He saw a tornadoe of dust go down the side of the mountain. Looked like Kouga was about to get his heart broken into a million pieces.

Miroku continued walking back... it was time to bring Sango home.

Sango had just woke up. She didn't even know she had fallen asleep... she knew what she had to do... she had to send Miroku home... alone. Just at that moment Kouga walked in. Or more like ran in.

"Kouga..." She said quietly. She knew right when she saw his face that he was the only one for her. She walked over to him and gave him a hug. Kouga stood there stunned for a couple of minutes. He didn't think that that would happen. He returned her embrace. He wasn't sure if this would be his last hug from Sango ever.

She was first to pull back. Kouga took this as a bad sign. She smiled at him. She loved him with her heart and soul. It was time for her to say it too. "Kouga I..." Kouga winced as she began like that. He thought it was a 'I hope we can still be friends' thing.

"... I love you." She said to him in a quiet voice no human ear would be able to hear. Kouga gaped as he heard that. She... She loves me! He thought to himself as a grin hit his face. He pulled her into a huge hug. He felt he tense up and then return his embrace.

Kouga pulled back and kissed her. He loved her so much, not a word could describe his feelings at that moment. But for everything wonderful, such as this, a little problem is always going to accrue. Miroku walked in, in the middle of Sango and Kouga's kiss.

Miroku gaped at them. But... Sango's mine... (That's not true.) Who are you? (I'm... errr... Mendy... yeah Mendy.) Nice to meet you. (same to you) why are you here? (I'm here to tell you to let Sango move on without you.)

Why should I do that? (Because she loves Kouga and you're a womanizer.) Okay... not really what I had in mind. (Why don't you go and marry Cindy.) Who? (The youngest daughter.) Good idea... (I know! So anyway I'll be here if ya need me!) That's good to know... I think...

Miroku then smiled. It was a good idea. Sango and Kouga broke their embrace. Sango turned to see him. She noticed his smile and smiled back. "Bye." She said as she hugged him. "Bye." It was true. Now that they looked at it, it felt more like hugging a brother or sister.

Miroku left the cave in a matter of moments. A sadness came over Sango's face. She would always miss Miroku in a way that she could miss no one else, save Kouga. Kouga noticed this and pulled her into a huge embrace. His arms around her waist from behind. Sango was silently shocked at what had happened.

She cuddled her head into his chest. And she knew she had made the right decision. Kouga had her heart now and forever.

3 days later

Miroku was back in the house of the old women. "How wonderful! You did return for my Grand daughter." Miroku smiled at the women. What did you really think he was going back to the village? Not with out a wife anyway. "What's her name by the way..." Miroku mumbled. He maybe sorta kinda forgot to ask his bride-to-be what her name was.

"Her name is Yume." The women told him. 'He must have forgotten when slaying demons!' The women thought to herself. How proud she was to have a monk for a son in law!

Miroku smiled as he felt himself get pulled into a room. "Why don't we start the wedding?" The old women asked. She wanted her Grand daughters married off as soon as possible. Miroku had a huge grin on his fast. 'They should make businesses that have weddings on short notice.' Miroku thought to himself.

He smiled thinking of the dozens of women he could marry. He was changed with in a moment. His bride came out wearing the most beautiful kimono in all the seven seas! The ceremony didn't take long.

Miroku and Yume were married by the end of the day. They decided to take a carriage back to the village. Yume had always wanted to live in a village with people and Miroku didn't really want to leave the village.

Miroku smiled to himself as they reached the village only hours later. It went so much faster when you didn't have to walk and there was a pretty girl beside you. As the carriage rolled to a stop, Yume and Miroku got off.

Taking everything Yume 'had to have' they went to the hut once shared with Sango. Yume was to dense to notice the glares of all the women around there. Miroku smiled again. 'Thank goodness, I'm a married man.' He thought to himself.

Yume and Miroku walked into the small hut. This would be a long happy life. Or so they both hoped.

Three years later

A small boy ran about a village screaming about his need for a new toy. "Why is it that our son always whines?" Miroku asked as he came up beside his wife. "He must take after you." She told him with a smile. Yume had been the perfect thing for him. He stopped his womanizing very soon after their marriage. Okay maybe a month or 5 but it didn't really matter any way.

Today was a special day indeed. Today some of Miroku's dear friends were visiting. Well at least dear friend. Him and her husband always had a sort of rift between them. That's when they heard a scream and then a boy run up to them. He quivered as he hid behind his mothers leg. "What in the world are you doing?" Yume asked him.

"Kage attacked me!" He yelled in a frightened voice. "I did not!" yelled a girls voice as she ran over to him. "It's not my fault you're a fussy little baby Rue!" She yelled at him meanly. She creaked her knuckles, her claws extending a little. "Do ya wanna fight me you sissy?" She asked him, her voice sounding more like a hiss.

"Leave him alone!" Ordered a stern voice. Sango had come to stop her daughter from attacking the poor human. Miroku stared at Sango. "Sango... it seems to me your losing your wonderful body!" Miroku explained in a joking tone. Sango laughed. She was pregnant with her third child in just as many years.

Kouga appeared beside her in a flash. He held a little half wolf half human on his shoulders. The child could only be 1 or 2. Though it looked a bit older. Sango smiled at her mate. Miroku longed for her to smile at him like that for only a moment. That moment passed quickly and he remembered his own family.

Meanwhile in a tree above the rest sat a solitary form. Well at two solitary forms. There was a four year old beside his father high in the tree. "Never thought this would happen." Grumbled Inu-yasha. "What are yo talking bout daddy?" Questioned the cutest little boy ever. "Nothing nothing..." He said to the child. That's when he heard the faint voice of Kagome calling for him and his son.

"Come on... let's go." Inu-yasha said standing up. "Daddy could I..." the little boy said to his dad holding his arms up to his back. "Fine fine..." Inu-yasha gruffed taking his son on his back just like he used to carry Kagome.

"YIPEE!!" Inu-yasha let a smile touch his lips. He was happy he had helped the wolf so many years back. Look at them now, happy. For once. You never would have thought that. Especially after Naraku. At least that's what Inu-yasha thought.
