Chapter 11- Miroku's decision
The group awoke early the next morning, however seemingly not as early as Kagome. Inuyasha was slightly worried at first because of all the demons in the forest she might encounter, but he took a whiff of the air around him, and the scent was very weak; Kagome had left during the night. Inuyasha shook his head slightly, and sighed.
'Damn... I guess we won't be able to hunt for shards or Naraku today...'
"Hey, let's head over to the well and wait for Kagome to come back,"
Inuyasha suggested, and Sango nodded, and looked over at Miroku. He said in a quiet voice,
"Yes, Let's."
They up their camp, and left, leisurely walking towards the bone eater's well. Inuyasha was in the lead with Shippo chattering away on his shoulder, and arguing about which ramen tasted best, and Kirara followed beside them, and it looked as if though she shook her head at the immaturity of the two. This left Sango and Miroku walking at the back, and neither said a word to each other. Sango seemed somewhat nervous, glancing a few times at Miroku's eyes, but she couldn't really read his face at all. He didn't have his usual 'I don't care much about life' look; however a more serious look in his face. Miroku constantly looked at the dirt path, deep in thought, and was grasped back into reality once in a while as he looked up to see if he was falling too far behind or going off course. Sango couldn't take the tension much longer, and tapped Miroku on the shoulder, and he jerked up in surprise. He blinked a few times, and looked at Sango.
"Yes?"
He asked in a cold voice, almost making Sango shiver.
"A-are you alright Miroku? Y-you seem..."
Miroku sighed, shaking his head.
"No, I'm not fine. Leave me be for a while, okay?"
"Listen Miroku, I want to apologize..."
Sango started, however was interrupted abruptly by Miroku's angry reply.
"Apologize about what? You have nothing to 'apologize' about. What you've done is beyond forgiveness through apology. How could you do this to me Sango?"
Miroku said angrily, and gritted his teeth. Up ahead, Inuyasha's keen sense of hearing picked up every word he said, and he was ready to rush over and smack the fool who dared yell at his mate, but he kept himself calm. No matter what, Miroku was still somewhat a good friend to him, and he figured Sango would take care of things fine.
"Right Inuyasha?"
Shippo asked,
"Hmm? Quit your babbling for a second now, I have stuff to think about."
"What could you have possibly to think about right now? I didn't know you could think at all..."
Shippo said, and snickered, and received a blow to the head, and he was surprised it was nothing more.
"Pipe down, will ya?"
"Fine..."
Shippo said, and sat down on Inuyasha's shoulder, playing with some of his little toys.
"M-Miroku..."
Sango said, wide-eyed. She had never seen Miroku explode so angrily, especially at one of his friends.
"Sango, what am I to you?"
"Pardon?"
Sango asked, taken back at the sudden question.
"What am I to you Sango?
"Well... Um... You're a great friend... And..."
Miroku made a fake laugh from disbelief.
"Hah! Great friend? Think about it Sango, we were going to get married! You agreed to bear my children and to live with me, and now I see it's that it was all lies!"
Anger started building inside Sango.
"And what about you Miroku? Have you been that loyal to me? Every chance you get, if there is a woman who doesn't look half bad, you'd gladly replace me with her! You don't care! How do you think I can live that Miroku?"
"I've told you before, that you were special to me."
"Special!"
Sango spat out.
"And what's so great about being special? All I get to do is watch as you flirt and screw around, waiting for that day when Naraku's done for, when we can be together alone! But no! I know you're not going to be faithful even then!"
"..."
Miroku couldn't reply at once, but after a few moments of thinking, the words came out of his mouth quietly, and coldly.
"How could you rather have a dirty halfbreed with no family and few friends over me? You of all people should stick to your own race. You're the last of the demon slayers, and you've agreed to be the mate of a halfbreed! An outcast from both humans and demons alike!"
Sango's eyes widened, and she struck Miroku across the face as hard as she could, causing Miroku to fall down on the path. Heat of anger spread through her body like a wildfire, and she clutched the collar of Miroku's robes, and yanked him up. Gritting her teeth, she asked,
"What did you say?"
Miroku, with a large red mark across his face glared at Sango.
"You heard me! You're Inuyasha's bitch now!"
Sango smacked him hard again, and again and again repeatedly, and Miroku's lip started bleeding. She stopped, and panting from anger, she yanked him up again by the collar.
"Yes, I'd choose being called 'Inuyasha's bitch' now, it's so much better than being called 'Miroku's wife'! You asshole!"
She punched Miroku again, and raised her fist for another blow, but a strong grip from a clawed hand prevented her. She looked up to Inuyasha's eyes, now full of hurt and triumph.
"That's enough Sango..."
Inuyasha said in a quiet voice.
"Let go... I'm going to teach this fucker a lesson today!"
She yelled, and fought to be free of Inuyasha's grip on her, but it was in vain, he still held her firmly, and he grabbed her other arm as well, and forced it to let go of Miroku, who fell down onto his back, feeling lightheaded and bleeding the instant she let go. Sango still fought however, and tried to reach Miroku.
"Sango, stop! This is your friend!"
"Let go! I'm going to fucking kill him, even if he was my friend!"
Inuyasha yanked her back, getting impatient with her stubbornness.
"Stop it Sango, you're not gonna change his mind like this. Please, just stop..."
Sango caught her breath, and slightly calmed down due to Inuyasha's voice, and glared at Miroku as Inuyasha let go of her. Sango straightened her clothes, took one last look at Miroku, and stormed off.
"Come on Shippo, Kirara."
Sango said, and picked both of them in her arms, and kept walking towards the well quickly. Shippo looked slightly scared, but he kept quiet about it, seeing the anger burning in Sango's eyes.
Inuyasha held out a hand to help Miroku up, but he just stared at it. He looked up at Inuyasha's eyes, and looked down at the ground, taking Inuyasha's hand as he got pulled up to his feet.
"Take good care of her Inuyasha."
Miroku suddenly said, still looking down at the ground, and Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, confused.
"What?"
"Take good care of Sango..."
"W-what...?"
Inuyasha looked bewildered, trying to figure things out.
"Listen, I didn't mean a thing I just said..."
Miroku said with a small smile, wiping the blood off his lips.
"Then what...?"
"I just said it to get Sango angry at me... I was acting...She still hasn't gotten over me, I can see it in her eyes, but she just has to forget about me. She's right Inuyasha. She doesn't have to put up with crap like me... I know you can make her happy. You will do that, won't you?"
Miroku asked. Inuyasha looked surprised, and answered,
"Um... Uhh yes, of course..."
"Good..."
They started following Sango to the well, and Inuyasha said,
"But Miroku..."
"Yes?"
"What about you...?"
"It's okay Inuyasha... Things are better this way, Sango deserves better than me.
"Stop it with that self degrading crap ya idiot! You're a good guy. I'm sure you'll find... SOMEONE willing to bear your damn children."
Inuyasha said with a snort. Miroku smiled, and replied,
"Thanks... Remember, I'm pissed off at you and Sango."
He said with a small wink, and they walked back to the well, where Sango sat with Kirara and Shippo, sharing some food. When Miroku arrived, Sango 'hmphed,' and she turned away from him, and Miroku rolled his eyes, sitting on the other side of the well. Inuyasha went right in the middle, and sat down on the ledge of the well, in case Sango suddenly exploded again. Inuyasha smiled, and looked up at the dimming sky. Miroku had accepted himself and Miroku being mates. Now only Kagome remained, but he decided to think about that when she actually came.
