Yes! I'm getting oh so very good. I'm glad you guys didn't expect those twists. TOLD YA IT WOULN'T BE PREDICTABLE! Yay! I'm very happy you guys all love my work. Thank you so much to my reviewers! I already have almost forty reviews and it's only the seventh chapter! I love you all. 3 By the way, sorry for the late update. The reasons: 1) I didn't feel like writing and 2) Writers block. I just hate it when you think of an ending for a story but then you gotta fill in the middle with a whole bunch of stuff to lead up to it. -Sigh- Oh well.

Outside, clouds began covering the sun, making it seem darker than it was. Sango was quick on leading Miroku from the dorm rooms. As soon as they were out of the building and in the parking lot, she let go of his arm and slowed her pace. Miroku looked at her for a moment wondering what her rush was when he grinned. She was jealous. This made him laugh inside.

'HA! She does have feelings for me! I knew it!'

'Hey, wait, don't you mean…er…us?'

'We are the same person smart one, I just felt like rejoicing. Now shut up.'

Sango turned to him and noticed his ever-so-famous grin. She raised an eyebrow. "And what are you smiling about?" She placed her hands on her hips.

"Oh nothing… Just the fact that you're jealous." His grin twisted into a sly smirk as he looked back at the building. "You know, that Beth was fairly cute in that short skirt…Maybe next time I could-"

He was interrupted when Sango hit him upside the head. "You're so full of it." He rubbed his head and glared at her. "Owe, that hurt!"

"It's not like I was trying to make it like a tap." She rolled her eyes and was about to go to her car but Miroku grabbed her forearm lightly and turned her back around. "I need to talk to you, Sango."

Sango studied his new features. It was…weird. Suddenly Miroku went from sly and perverted to sad and serious. She had never seen him act so grown up about things. He was frowning and seemed desperate for her to listen.

'Well, you can at least listen to what he has to say after what you did to him.'

'Excuse me! You were the one who told me to get him back!'

'No, that was the devil side of you…'

'You are the devil side!'

She sighed. "What is it?"

Miroku took her hand in his and let out a breath. It was now. He had to tell her now. If he explained everything, to the very last detail, she may understand and maybe even run away with him. He suddenly got a big boost of confidence when he thought about them running away together and when that dream of his came to his mind.

He opened his mouth to speak but was immediately interrupted when a cell phone rang. His eyes widened. That must be Naraku, which meant he was watching them. He reached to his side and pulled out his cell but saw Sango do the same. It was hers that was ringing.

Sango answered. It was Leon.

"Hey Leon, what's up?"

Miroku watched as Sango spoke to her lover, a hurt expression on his face. This was so much more important than having a chat with him. He had to admit, he was jealous as hell when he thought about this Leon character. He saw Sango smile about whatever he was talking about.

"Alright, I will….I love you too….bye." She hung up the phone and realized Miroku was standing there, looking rather hurt. "Oh…um, sorry. Can we talk later? I have to go take care of a couple of things."

'She did that on purpose…'

He sighed. He couldn't really say no because technically, he had no right but then again, something bad could happen if he didn't get around to telling her soon. This was definitely not a good day and it had only started a few hours ago.

"But, it's really important. Please promise you'll hear me out today."

What was that? HE wanted HER to promise? HA! After every single promise he broke when he left! But then again, she knew she didn't want to be that mean. She nodded. "I promise." She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket that had a number written on it. "Call me anytime Miroku." She felt a little guilty about never telling Leon about Miroku but decided she would later after their little chat. Besides, maybe what Miroku wanted to talk to her about really WAS important. Go figure.

Miroku took the small paper from her and put it safely in his pocket. "Don't forget…" He replied sadly.

Sango suddenly got a weird urge to kiss him. What was this? Was she falling in love with him AGAIN?

'You never fell out of love with him in the first place, how could you be falling in love with him again?'

'Shut up.'

'Oh no, I will not be silenced!...Kiss him.'

'NO! I'm taken! What would Leon think!'

'I never said you'd have to tell him...'

'Pff! I'm not the type to do such a thing!'

'You know you wanna. I know you wanna. He knows you wanna. So just do it.'

Sango tuned her inner thoughts out and focused back on the man standing before her. He was still there, waiting for something. She wondered if he really wanted her to kiss him…

'No, he's engaged… I mean we're both engaged! It's wrong!'

'You're too much of a goody goody.'

'You obviously don't know your own outside personality.'

Sango shook her head. "Call me later." She quickly made her way to the car. She was definitely going to have to have some time to think and the dojo sounded pretty good right about now.

Miroku sighed as he watched Sango's car exit the parking lot. Oh how he wished he could just waste the rest of the day in a bar. This day was starting out horribly. He only hoped it would get better with each passing hour.

He put his hands in his pockets and started away. Where was Kouga now?

Kouga hung up the phone angrily. He loathed his employer a great deal. How could a mere man do so many things that were that inhuman and barbaric? Well, at least he wasn't his real employer.

He sighed and stood from his chair. Naraku had gone over past missions and figured out Kouga didn't make one kill, it was always his partners doing the killing, and he wanted to know why. Of course, he didn't tell him the truth. But now, Naraku assured him that the mission on the Koshiwa family would now be supervised by an inside missionary and Kouga was supposed to be the one making the kill. Who it was, he didn't know, but this was not the way things were supposed to be going. Every part of his plan to rid of Naraku was slowly crumbling away and it would take months to conjure up a new and better one.

But now, his main objective was to find a way out of killing an innocent. He had to think of something and soon before the monster figured out Kouga's real purpose. He had to think and the best way for him to think was while training. So, he decided to drop by a random dojo.

Sango was once again kicking and punching the punching bag in front of her. Next, she would try to work with one of her katanas. But strangely, the only thing on her mind was Miroku. He just wouldn't get out of her head. She knew she had more important things to think about yet, her mind refused to cooperate.

It was the weekend and she should be relaxing and spending time with Kagome but no, she had to let him bud in. Every time she would do something, her mind would drift from the task at hand to him. Miroku, Miroku, Miroku, THAT WAS IT!

'I shouldn't be thinking about him so much…I have a wedding to think about and tests to study for, thoughts of him shouldn't get in the way…'

'Thoughts of him always got in the way, you were just to blind to see it or you would simply forget as soon as you got a chance. Remember those dreams before he even came?'

'Shut up. All you do is make things harder.'

'I'm here to help, that is why I was rooted in your tiny brain.'

'I can shut you up and you know I can.'

'Why? You're not thinking of Miroku right now. Isn't that what you wanted?'

Sango sighed and stopped her training. She suddenly felt like she should just go home and sleep. Yea, sleep sounded good.

She was about to start packing up but she heard commotion in another room of the dojo. Curious, she walked to the next room to take a peek only to see a fairly familiar person going up against a sensei with a few students watching the two fight. The man was pretty good too. He moved with so much speed and endurance that his form seemed to almost disappear from view. Then it clicked.

'That's the same guy that was with Miroku. I wonder who he is though…'

Soon enough, the match was over and Kouga grabbed a towel to cool down with. He noticed Sango standing in the doorway.

'Miroku's girlfriend. Wonder what a chick like her is doing here.'

He shrugged and walked over to her, which made her feel kind of uncomfortable for some reason. He stopped in front of her and pointed.

"You're Sango, right?"

She nodded. "And you were the guy with Miroku. I'm sorry, I don't know your name."

Kouga took in a breath. "Kouga. What are you doing in a place like this?"

Sango immediately identified him as one who thought men were stronger than women. This annoyed her slightly. "I train here." She mumbled as if to say 'Duh!'.

"Oh? You? Well, are you good?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm good enough to beat you at a few things." She raised an eyebrow at him. She was going to have to teach this man a lesson.

He just smirked at her. So this woman thought she was better than him. Well, he wasn't the one to let go of a challenge. He would have to show this lady a thing or two in the arts of fighting. "Okay then. Wanna take a go at hand to hand?"

"Sure, why not? I'm pretty sure you'll lose."

"Heh, lady, you're lookin' at the fastest man in the world."

"You wish." She scoffed back, walking to the other end of the practice mat. She was surprised at how childish she was acting but hey, everyone deserves a time to act at least a little immature.

As soon as they were both ready, the fight started. They both charged at each other with immense speed but of course, Kouga was obviously faster. He didn't it her at all, just let her get every hit she could get at him but to her own surprise, she couldn't even manage a single punch. He dodged everything she threw at him.

"Okay, now, it's my turn." He easily tripped her, making her fall but before she even landed, he caught her and threw her over his shoulder almost like she weighed nothing. But she thought quickly and jumped to her feet before he could pin her down and declare himself the winner.

She was already panting and breathing hard but he was just getting started. She knew if she started punching at him again, he would most likely dodge….unless she distracted him. She smiled and tried to drop kick him in his lower stomach but he grabbed her foot before it could touch him and threw her off balance, tossing her backwards.

'Well, he is fast, I'll give him that.'

"Do you give up yet?" He smirked, making her anger rise. She was not going to let him beat her, not a chance.

"Now, why would I give up?"

This time, she tripped him without warning and as soon as he hit the ground, she placed her foot on his chest so that he wouldn't get up. He laid there, eyebrows raised as she breathed heavily, obviously tired.

"You know, for a woman, you do have strength. Although, I'm surprised I never saw you trying to bring me down."

"That's what you get for taking your eyes off the target and getting cocky with them."

She moved her foot and made her way to the door. "Wait, what was I forgetting…."

He sat up and blinked at her.

"Oh yea, I win." With that, she walked out of the room.

Kouga just shook his head and stood. "It's not over Sango. Next time, I'll be the one winning you sarcastic minx. I have no idea how you came to love someone like Miroku." He sighed.

You people better R&R or else I'll track you down and kill you in your sleep with a chainsaw….And don't think I won't cause I will…. Oh yes, and I have a question. We all know from one of the episodes that Sango is willing to actually commit suicide if it means being with her brother, but do you think she'd do it if it meant being with Miroku? Juuuuust a simple question… -Whistles innocently-

Thanks Reviewers :D

tine: Mwahahaha….you will never know until you read. -Shifty eyes-

Ignorant Wisdom: Good, you weren't supposed to…. MWAHAHAHA! But the Inu/Kag was kicked out for three reasons. 1) Yes, you all complained -Sweat drop- 2) Yes, they are extra characters I only added to take up space. But judging from how much better I'm getting at writing longer chapters, I don't need them. 3) IT FITS SO WELL WITH THE STORY LINE! Yay! And yes, Beth will be seen more. But you will never guess the real reason I made her. I ameth mysterious… -Hides under a rock and cackles-

AngellGoddess: Oh…well…uh…I haven't really decided on whether Kohaku will be staying alive or not. Maybe….eh…hehe well I guess you will just have to find out. It's so fun knowing that I am in control! Tootles…

Ect.
