Disclaimer: Blah blah don't own 'em.

Ok now I noticed that I barely have nay MirXSan fluff so for the couple's fans out there…enjoy this one!

Another tear. She had been counting. Four tears, two of them one the hard floor. How pathetic it was for her to cry to herself, with no one to talk to. It was late in the night or extremely early the next day. She didn't care. It was dark outside and that was all she knew.

She couldn't wake Kagome up, she wouldn't either. She wasn't one to spill all her feelings out to one person. She couldn't live with that. That she put a huge weight on someone. That wasn't like her.

She hadn't been crying for long, but someone had now just noticed. Someone with an incredible sense of smell. "Sango?"

Sango looked up at the voice. "What?" she sniffed.

InuYasha was looking at her strangely from his corner. "You ok?"

Sango wiped her eyes hurriedly. "Yeah I'm fine." How embarrassing it was to cry in front of someone.

"You want me to wake Miroku up?"

For some reason, that made her angry. "No I do not want you to wake him up!" She hissed.

InuYasha shrugged and closed his eyes, falling asleep in no time. "What's his problem?" She asked herself out loud. But another voice form behind her scared her.

"Sango?"

She recognized the voice instantly. "Houshi-sama…what are you doing up?"

Miroku shrugged. "I heard you crying. Sango what's wrong?"

Sango hesitated to tell him. "What is it with you boys tonight? I'm fine."

"People who are 'fine' don't cry in the middle of the night." Miroku half smiled at her.

Sango didn't smile back. In fact it was more of a glare than anything. Miroku quickly wiped the look off his face but did not turn away from the taijiya. "Sango, you know if you can't tell Kagome-chan what's bothering you, than there is a problem. Now tell me."

Again, she hesitated. What would she say to him; she was scared? She was angry? She was non-confident? She was afraid she couldn't do it? Couldn't do what? Couldn't defeat their enemy, couldn't get Kohaku back, couldn't return things to semi-normal, and couldn't be with the one that she really loved…

She gasped inwardly. Loved? She loved Miroku? Of course she did. After a while, even InuYasha caught on to it. Why else would he have asked if he could wake Miroku for her?

She shook her head and mentally slapped herself. She couldn't afford to love anyone. She could trust people. The people she had been with all the time for nearly a year now, she trusted with all her heart. But what if the person she loved hurt her…

"Houshi-sama?"

The monk looked up at her meeting her eyes. "Yes?"

Don't say anything to him! Her mind screamed at her. She ignored it and asked the houshi her question. "Can you afford to fall in love?"

Miroku was a bit surprised at her question. In fact, he laughed at her. "What do you mean by that?"

Sango felt her face get hot and she knew she had turned pink. Lucky it was pink and not red. "I mean…if we don't defeat Naraku and you still need your child to carry on for you, would you leave after that?"

Miroku cocked his head to the side. "What do you mean? That I would leave the one who bare my child?"

Sango nodded her head to hide the blush. Miroku laughed a little louder. "Sango, if I were as lucky to get someone to bare my child I can assure you I would never leave them." Then he remembered the promise. "You think I would leave you?"

Sango blushed even more and shrugged her shoulders and sighed sadly awaiting for new tears when she felt someone's arms around her holding her close to them. Her face went red when she looked up into Miroku's dark violet eyes. "Houshi…sama?"

"Why don't you ever call me Miroku?"

Sango tried to look away but it was like a magnetic force that kept her looking back at him. "I-I-I…don't know. But—."

Her sentence was interrupted. Maybe he didn't want to know the answer, maybe he didn't care, and maybe he was happy that she always called him Houshi-sama. Whatever the reason, he leaned down and kissed her, stopping from saying anything else.

She didn't gasp, she didn't flinch, she didn't do anything except kiss back knowing it would change everything later.

He didn't do anything else except kiss her full on her pink lips and hold her tightly against him. He didn't want to do anything else…except show her he really loved her and he would never leave her. InuYasha and Kagome aren't the only ones who don't know how to show their feelings…

When they broke apart, Sango's face was a little pink but she was smiling. IT made him happy to see her smile once.

She was tired. Very tired form being up all night. She leaned her head against him and closed her eyes to fall peacefully asleep. But Miroku would stay up in case she needed him again.
