Darkness. Suddenly screams emit from far away.
Following the noises and coming up on a small door.
Wondering. What's behind this door? What's beyond what the eye can only see?
Opening. The door opens. There she is, dead, bleeding, and unmoving.
Him. He stood there with the knife. He smirked as he walked away.
Crying. Leaning over her body as the tears stain the face.
Wanting. Wanting her back…
Miroku shot up. He had a terrible dream. This was his first nightmare in a long time. Looking to the side table he read the small digital clock as 4:30 am. Looking to his other side he found Kagome sleeping peacefully.
His heart calmed down as he watched the heavy rise and fall of her chest. His mind started to wander a bit. He shook his head 'bad Miroku bad!' he screamed in his head.
Lying back down with Kagome he soon had fallen asleep again.
At about 7 he was woken up by a call on his phone.
"Hello?" He asked groggily.
No answer.
"Hello?" He asked a little more awake now.
"Miroku…?" It was Inuyasha.
"What do you want?" he snapped.
"I want to… apologize. Can I…can I come back over and see if we can set things straight again?"
"No." Miroku said plainly.
"Please Miroku. I'll prove to you and Kagome that I can set things right. I promise I wont abuse her anymore."
"And what of Kikyou?" He asked sternly.
"I promise, no more visits with her either." Inuyasha said.
Miroku pondered for a moment then said, "I'll see how Kagome feels about this."
"Thank you Miroku." Inuyasha said before hanging up.
Miroku ran a hand through his hair after he set down the phone. Would Kagome let him in? Would he get another chance after all the chances he's already had?
Well he would soon find out because she was waking up.
She opened her eyes and looked up at Miroku. She smiled a little and cuddled up closer to him. He smiled and collected her in his arms and closer to him. He held her there in a comfortable silence a few moments and then softly said into her ear. "Do you want food?"
She nodded slowly and sat up with him. Finally separating she went to take a shower whilehe fixed their pancakes.
When she got out she got dressed and came out. Smelling the pancakes she smiled. She sat at the table and waited.
Seconds later Miroku emerged with a plate of pancakes and set them on the center of the small table. After, he set out a plate for Kagome and himself. Then they ate their breakfast in peace.
After breakfast Miroku cleared the table and Kagome went to sit on the couch. She sat there alone for awhile until Miroku came and sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her down with him. They cuddled up together and stayed like that for awhile.
Miroku leaned down to Kagome's ear. "What do you want to do today?"
She just snuggled up closer. He chuckled. "Come on Kagome, you may as well go outside. You haven't been outside for a long time." He ran his fingers through her hair.
She sighed and frowned. "I don't want to risk anything." She said in a muffled groan.
He pulled her close. "You can't hide forever Kagome. I suggest you go outside. It's not healthy to be inside."
She sighed in defeat. "Fine. But I need you with me."
"I'll never let you go." He said pulling her close and holding her for a little while.
Later that day they decided on dinner. Kagome pulled on her winter coat since it had started to snow outside. She clung to Miroku as they walked down the street.
They walked down to the cinema theatre and decided on a movie.
After the movie they decided it was time for dinner. Seeing a small restaurant close to the cinema they decided they would dine there.
Miroku grabbed them a table and they sat there just looking at one another. After ordering dinner they ate in silence and then shared a dessert cake.
Arriving back at Miroku's apartment they noticed a note on his door. He pulled it off the door and then opened the door for her. When she asked him what the note was he said that it was nothing for her to worry about, just probably a neighbor looking for their dog again. Kagome shrugged it off and went to take a shower.
Miroku sat on the couch and opened the paper up. He read the note and suddenly frowned. It was from Inuyasha.
The note said: Dear Kagome, I'm sorry I have not been fair with you. Please give me another chance. I can prove to you that I can be faithful. I still want to marry you.
Love Inu
P.S. You can come live with me if you want so you can monitor me at home.
Miroku crumpled the note and threw it away. Kagome was his now!
…Whoa did he just think what he thought he did? Why was he so protective all of a sudden?
He shook the feeling off just before Kagome came in the room and sat down with him. "Um…Thank you for dinner." She said shyly. He laughed and pulled her to him.
"No problem he whispered in her ear. She smiled and relaxed against him.
"Kagome?" Miroku said after a few moments of silence.
Kagome looked at him. "Umm…would…would you like to live here? Like I know you already do, but maybe move everything out of your apartment, and live with me?
She went silent and nodded her head slowly. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Thank you. Now I wont be so lonely anymore." She giggled and snuggled up close to him. He was truly very content now.
