I am SOOOOOOO sorry for the long hiatus. I just haven't been able to think on ANY of my stories. I've been giving a lot of thought on deviantart and on my mangas/doujins. So please forgive me.

Reviewer responses!

muahaha: That's a great idea! I'll try it in either this chapter, or both this and the next! - Thank you!

sangofan89: Thanks for saying that. No one has ever said that on any of my stories. Even the ones made outside of like for school. O.o

Kalyte Rose: Yeah, you're right. Chapter 2 wasn't as good. But I guess it did set the mood... whatever that means. o.O Sorry about the cliffhanger, if it was a cliffhanger. It seems that the readers catch a lot of things that I don't. T-T And I hope your stories come out excellent!

dynasty125: Ha ha, very funny. Well, since I know how much of a fan you are, I hope this story will amuse you.

To anyone else, like I said: I've never done a SanXMir fic nor have I ever read one. Please, if something is seen wrong, please tell me. The characters may be 'out-of-character', so things might happen in this story that might not seem like the characters would really do. --; Please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the animanga Inuyasha or anything that has to do with it, or any of the songs in this fic. All disclaimers apply.

Stupid Love, Chapter 3

Sango was the first to wake. Seeing how early it was, taking her hiraikoutsu, she got up without disturbing the group. She needed to settle things in her mind. She didn't have much time the day before. Her eyes saddened at the memory of Miroku standing in front of her, having heard everything she said.

She started walking and stopped at a small hill, seeing the lands before her as the sun started to rise. The sight was beautiful. For some reason, she felt different. She took in a deep breath, taking in the fresh morning air. She seemed more relaxed this morning. She didn't know why, especially after yesterday's events. She just felt more relaxed.

Today would seem like a good day.

The group walked on a path towards wherever it lead. Kagome and Inuyasha were arguing over nothing again, Shippo interrupted every now and then earning a bump to the head as Sango and Miroku watched. Kagome looked back noticing that there was no fighting between the monk and demon slayer, mainly no slapping or yelling from the slayer. It was plainly obvious that they kept their distance from eachother. It was also obvious that they were avoiding any kind of contact with eachother, mainly eye contact.

Shippo followed Kagome's gaze, finding that it rested on Sango.

"Kagome, what's wrong with Sango and Miroku? They've been acting... well... different." the kitsune whispered.

"Miroku was being an idiot again. Stupid monk doesn't know when to stop."

Kagome glared at Inuyasha, but agreed. Shippo had known about Miroku and Sango's relationship, but he was too young to understand a few things.

Miroku glanced at Sango through the corner of his eyes. She only looked straight ahead, not bothering even sparing a glance towards him. They needed to talk more about this situation. He never knew it would go this far. He had done the same thing he did all the other times he flirted with women, right? Wrong. A feeling of guilt overswept him. He had really spent almost the whole day with the girl, completely ignoring Sango. Of course it was natural that he was with someone else since they both had a fight earlier. He was only with the girl so that he would stay away from Sango, giving her time to cool off. He never thought Sango would react the way she did. But why wouldn't she? She had every right to be. Miroku took in a deep breath, gathering up his courage to-

"Hey look! There's a village other there!" Shippo said aloud so that everyone heard him and saw him pointing ahead.

Miroku let out the air he just sucked up. Now wouldn't be the chance he wanted. He looked ahead as they got closer to the village, and noticed Sango had done the same.

'This place seems kind of familiar. Have I been here before?' Sango thought. The villagers were giving her thankful looks and noticed some were blessing her. Sango then noticed how relaxed she felt here. As if it were her home, where there were no worries.

A little boy looked over towards her and smiled widely as he started running to her, laughing. Other children followed.

"Lady Sango! Lady Sango, you have returned!" they called out. Sango froze as the rest of the group stepped back and the children hugged her legs, almost making her fall in the process.

"We knew you'd return!"

"I'm so glad you came back!"

"It's been so long!"

The little children piped up all at once, as Sango felt something coming back to her.

"Have you been here before, Sango?" asked Shippo. The group had really been surprised when the children just ran over to Sango. Kirara then "meowed", gaining attention to some of the kids as she walked up to Sango.

"Kirara!" they all shouted as most of them ran and started playing with Kirara while few stayed with Sango.

Some of the villagers then took the opportunity to go to Sango as well.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha blinked as everyone stared confused and curiously as Sango started conversing back to the ring that had now formed around her and Kirara. They're attention was then changed when a young man's voice came into the ears of everyone, gaining the main attention of Sango...

"So, it seems you have come back, Lady Sango." The young man smiled at the sight of Sango, receiving a blush and smile from the girl.

"Nice to see you again, too, Toshiro." Came Sango's reply, earning a serious look from Miroku.

Note: I changed "Kilala" to "Kirara" for future reasons.

Again, I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry for the long hiatus! Please forgive me!

Well well well, it seems Sango knows who this man is. She's blushing too! O.o And Miroku doesn't look too happy! Please review! That will make me update faster! XD

And I already know this chapter stunk. No need to tell me. .:sigh:.
