Chapter 8

What will you do now Sango?

Last time

" But Sango, how could he be your boyfriend if you are my bride to be?" Tukana said flatly with another big smile on his face.

Now

Miroku's face went pale, he had finally got her to love him the way he loved her, and already she was being taken away. The rest of the group was also in shock. They were all wondering the same thing, why didn't Sango say anything about being engaged? Sango looked at Miroku and could see the pain this had brought him. She needed to show him that she loved him still, and to let Tukana know that she had moved on.

"Tukana, you need to know, I don't love you anymore." Tukana was still smiling but he dimmed a bit.

"What do you mean? We are engaged to be wed!"

"When you left to battle in that village, I left too. It's been 4 years, and I've moved on with my life."

"But, you promised to marry me. You promised to love me forever."

"But I've fallen in love with someone else. Please try to understand."

Tukana's face showed great sadness. His smile faded into a state near tears, then to anger and hate. He looked at Miroku in deep fury, as he started to walk away from Sango towards him.

"Is this the man that has stolen you away from me? This is the one you love?"

"No, please! Leave him alone!"

Tukana pulled out his fighting stick. Suddenly InuYasha unsheathed tetsusaiga and jumped in front of him. Tukana was shocked at first, but then grew even angrier. With one swift blow to the side, InuYasha was on the ground 5 feet away. He didn't even see it coming until it was too late. Miroku looked in terror at his friend lying helpless and unconscious on the ground. He then looked back up at Tukana with fear as he slowly tried to move back. Kagome had already run to InuYasha's side, but she was also powerless to do anything.

'How am I going to get out of this one?' Miroku thought to himself. 'He doesn't look very forgiving, and I cannot fight him alone.' Miroku kept backing up.

"If you wish to love my dear Sango, you will have to prove yourself to me. I will kill you, for she is my one true love and I need her."

"Please, Tukana, I don't want to fight you. Violence solves nothing, and I am but a humble monk."

"Well houshi, you should have thought of that before you fell in love with my lovely Sango."

Just then, Sango came charging at Tukana. She tackled him to the ground, quickly got up, and ran over to Miroku. Tukana looked up at Sango; his eyes were full of surprise. Sango looked at him and wrapped her arms around Miroku. He did the same, and both were staring at Tukana. He looked at them intensely, then looked down. His eyes started to water as he pulled himself up from the ground. He brushed himself off and put his baton back in his belt. He looked deep into Sango's eyes for a moment. Then he walked towards them with a teary eyed smile.

"You've proven yourself, there is no other way that could have proved such a deep bond between two people such as that. Congratulations." He put his hand out toward Miroku, who, for a moment, hesitated, before accepting it and shaking hands.

"Are you going to leave now, Tukana?" Sango inquired.

"Yes, there is no reason for me to stay. I'll go, and perhaps, I will be able to move on as you have, my dearest Sango."

He turned around and started to walk away. As he was walking, InuYasha woke up and looked at Tukana.

"Well what the hell happened there? Why is he walking away? I'm so lost!"

Kagome smiled at him and gave him a huge hug. "I'll fill you in later." She said as she leaned down to kiss him.

Sango looked up at Miroku, and he looked down at her. He must really love him to do something like that for him. He felt like the luckiest man on earth. He slowly moved closer to her, and she did the same, until their lips met in a meaningful kiss. All the while, Shippou and Kirara stood by watching in shock.

Well, I still have homework to do, so I'm going to leave you there. I'll try to work on it this weekend, but knowing me, I'll probably get busy, so… bye! Love y'all!
