"H-houshi-sama!" I could barely speak, barely even stammer, "What..?" it was my intention to ask him what he thought he was doing, but I didn't get that far. I just kind of stopped. Words failed me and I leaned back into his arms. I felt so comfortable there, so calm. That was, until he spoke.
"Sango, I need you not to speak," The calm that had taken over my body evaporated in an instant as a million tiny shockwaves pulsed through me. I don't think I would have been able to have spoken had I tried to, anyways. He needn't worry. "For now I want to tell you something important." He hesitated several seconds, and then began to speak slowly.
"Sango … I … I've always cared for you. Ever since I met you, I've admired your smarts and the spark in your eyes, the way you fight, and of course your body…"
He couldn't possibly plan on ruining this? But the tone of his voice sounded more content than lecherous. When both hands stayed firmly around my stomach I was mildly surprised, and visibly relaxed. He moved his face up to press his cheek against mine. Eyes half closed, expression perfectly content, I leaned back against him and felt his robes cover me, warming me. I felt his cheek move along mine as he continued.
"I never dreamed I could feel like I do, that I could trust anyone so much. Sango … my dearest Sango …" He paused again. Before he could start again, I just had to open my mouth and ruin it. I had to ask.
"And all the other women?" I regretted it the second I said it, but I had to know.
I could have sworn I felt him laugh. Or sigh. One or the other. A small smile crossed my face. I was close enough to feel him laugh when, had anyone else been there, they never would have heard it. He pushed his cheek gently against mine the way a cat pushes against your hand when you go to pet it, reminding me of Kirara. I half expected him to purr.
"You are the one Sango … it's always been you." He closed his eyes, and smiled in a way that wasn't lecherous or perverted at all. A real smile. Opening them slowly and looking straight at me, I saw nothing but affection in his purple-blue eyes. He said quietly, barley louder than a whisper, "I love you."
