A/N: you all made my day! I think that was the most reviews I've gotten, muahaha; okay okay I mustn't lose my composure, must remember I shouldn't be writing and breathing and living for reviews! Uploaded 2 chapters since one of them is a short one. Oh I wrote review replies, read them at the end of the chapter. :)
Someone Out There
Chapter Seven: Falling, falling and…Gone.
The rain hadn't stopped falling since afternoon. Sango left her blinds open, letting the street lights slip into her room. She rested comfortably on her pillow, waiting for nothing. Nothing. Miroku hasn't climbed her window since the day Kagome came. A tug of jealousy pulled at her. Kagome was everything she was not. Tall, black-hair and bodacious. Sango was short, brunette and not exactly what you'd call 'curvy'. Sango led out a string of curses. "Why am I comparing?" she felt .
Maybe she was just protective of her frister, Miroku. It's not every day you meet someone that takes your breath away. It happened to both him and her, just…who that took their breath away was different. If only a million thoughts can be painted down into a picture, would Sango know what to think or feel.
Ring Ring. There was only one person who'd call her at this hour. Him.
Sango rushed over to pick up the phone. "Hello," Sango said trying to steady her voice. What should she say? Her mind drew a blank. Why is she so nervous in the first place! Being able to hear his voice made her heart beat just a little bit faster.
"I got a girlfriend." Were the first words that came out of his mouth.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. If anything could happen right now, it'd be the hand of someone squeezing her heart stopping it from beating. No. No. No. No. A girlfriend? Who could it be? Could it be her?
"She is perfect. Almost everything on the list you were talking about that night!" continued Miroku. Almost everything she was talking about. Irony. Almost but not quite. She wanted to cry, scream, yell, convince him to turn away, stop this, push him away, hold him back…yet nothing came out. Tears didn't reach her eyes. She licked her lips and listened to her quiet breathing.
"Sango, isn't this great? I'm going serious with this one!" Great. For who? Sango's heart slowly started beating again, and with each beat the situation became clearer and clearer. Miroku has finally found a girlfriend, someone he'd commit to. He's happy, no, blissful. She should be happy for him too. Who was she kidding? It ached as his words pulled at her heartstrings.
"Yes, yes it is." she whispered, trying to convince herself more than to him. She blinked back the tears. They can't fall now; her voice will betray her. Miroku can never find out. Unrequited love was not meant to be uncovered. They're still best friends, that's all they'll ever be, but it's something. Sango will be his friend, listen to his heartbreaks, listen to him gush about her, all the wonderful lively little things she do…she'll listen and smile pretending everything is alright. Frister was her façade, the role she was assigned.
"I took Kagome to the zoo today!" So that's what he ditched Sango for.
"Really? How was it?" she asked weakly. I don't want to know.
"It felt so right just holding her there," Miroku said dreamily. Please stop.
"It started raining and I had to give her my jacket." Paper heart is bleeding...
"She smells so sweet, like vanilla or cotton candy." "How cute," her voice cracking. I don't want to know.
"I don't know what came over me but I kissed her." Falling.
"It feels like love." Gone.
"I guess we won't have to marry each other when we're old now huh?" joked Miroku on the phone, unknowingly opening the flood gates.
"Miroku, can we talk tomorrow? I'm really tired." She said softly, barely audible, her voice failing her. She slipped back into bed, cradling herself. The sound of her tears were her lullaby
… … … … …
Sunrays peeped through her blinds, prodding her to wake up. A fistful of rays hit her tear-dried eyes as she awoke. What's happening? Oh, it was Monday morning…school. Heaving a sigh she mutely walked to her bathroom to brush her teeth. This was the daily routine, it wasn't until she reached the showers that her mind starts clearing up. She mindlessly undressed and got in the shower.
Hot waters hit her face as pieces from the phone conversation started clicking together. Miroku's got a steady girlfriend. No room for Sango anymore. She tried to drown the thoughts away as she rinsed her hair from the fruit shampoo, rinsing away the suds, the thoughts, her troubles. Wrapping a cold towel around her she opened her closet, deciding what to wear.
How about that brown tank top Miroku bought her? No. It reminded her too much of him. Denim jeans? Too starchy. Sango growled, frustrated at this daily routine. Usually she could just call Miroku over and he'd blindly pick something out for her that looks nice. "You don't need him?" tried Sango. Nice try, who're you fooling? She blindly grabbed a white button up dress shirt, plaid skirt and a black tie. She looked like a sorority school girl but that was fine with Sango. Nothing really mattered at the moment. Plus, it wasn't that horrible looking.
Just because he was dating again, it doesn't mean anything between him and her has changed. Well, not suppose to be. She'll just learn to deal with the pain that was unknowingly inflicted. They're still friends, and if he's happy then she'll…try to be happy. Life is not as cliché as you'd hope it'd be.
Review Responses
biggest anime fan: hahah I'd love to make Sango go around and mingle with other guys, buuut that seems too hard to follow with the plot I have going on so far (if you could call it a plot, lol, you'll see I guess?) I think her knowing Sandy and David is good enough :). If I was a more skillful writer I could've carried out with your suggestion ;) Oh yes, she doesn't know she "truly loves him," not yet anyways. I'm not a believer of love at first sight sorta thing. (I hope I never said in my story that she truly loves him O.O you know me…half the time even I don't know what's going on HAHA!
