Broken Vow
It's been a month since Miroku last saw Sango, a month since her wedding. Even if he did try to bury the happy memories of her, Miroku couldn't help wondering…who was the man that had the ability to make Sango happy? He wanted to know. What was it about him seemed so "perfect" for her? Miroku told his friends, whom were now technically married to each other by now, that he was going to visit his former love. Even if it was against their wishes and hers. "I'll be gone for a few," he said to them. "See you all later." They knew that they couldn't stop Miroku, so they let him go. Kagome gave him a small sack of food to take on his journey and then left them.
Tell me his name, I want to know
The way he looks and where you go
I need to see his face, I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
In three days, Miroku came to the church he saw Sango with her new love and was surprised to see her sitting at the summit of the stairs. Sango looked like she had been waiting for him for the past month. They smiled at each other, trying to hide the hurt they caused each other in the past and in the present. "Have you been waiting long, Sango? I'm sorry," Miroku apologized. Sango waved it off making an excuse saying, "It's all right. Koaru have given me word that you would be coming anyway and told me to have a talk with you." He pondered the name, Koaru…I do hope he's treating you right. He asked where he was and she answered that he is at home and asked, "Would you like to meet him?" He nodded and followed her to where she now lived. In a mansion of great wealth, it seemed. She was now the wife to the young warlord they had met when looking for Shikon Jewels, it seemed.
Tell me again, I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night while I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
The young warlord greeted Miroku with curtsey and kept his courteous detachment from Miroku and Sango while they had their conversation. Sango and Miroku headed towards the courtyard where no one was to disturb them and tried to hold onto some conversation. Sango commented that he seemed quieter than usual, calmer than when they were, as Kagome put it, an item. "Forgive me, I pushed you away after we defeated Naraku and am causing nothing but additional trouble for you," Miroku apologized. "I…" Sango could do nothing but agree to him without words. They were both at fault; they did love each other, still do even if one was married to another. "I suppose it's too late for us…"
I let you go, I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why?
I let you go, now that I've found a way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
An awkward silence came between them, then an awkward question was asked by Sango. Foolish, but still an honestly, curious question. "Are you…married now?" Miroku shook his head. "Why not?" "Because the only one I wanted to marry is gone," he answered. Sango apologized. "It was my choice to let her go," Miroku continued. "Only to keep asking myself why I did that days later." Sango turned away ashamed of what she did to him. "May you tell me something?" Miroku asked. She nodded and allowed him to tell him what he wanted to know.
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch, the ones you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time?
"You ask for nothing much," Sango answered and told him what he wanted to know. Miroku had prepared himself for the worst as she gave him want he wanted. She said, and pointed it out to him that not once did he ever tell her, and be true to his words, that he loved her. All she knew was that he had feelings for her and rarely showed it in public, except in the incident in the village of women and with the catfish-demon. "I know you had your reasons…but I was deeply wounded by your actions. Even if we were saving others and protecting Kagome-chan."
I let you go, I let you fly
Why do I keep asking why?
I let you go, now that I've found a way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
One of Sango's servants came to them and announced that dinner would be ready soon and asked if Miroku would be staying for the night. Even if the servant was a pretty maid, Miroku showed no interest in her and kept his eyes on Sango as she faced him and asked if he would be staying for the night. Miroku politely declined. He knew exactly what they did wrong. Sango couldn't trust her heart while he couldn't voice out his feelings for her. "I should be going anyway now," he said and bit Sango and her new family good health. Sango led him to the gates and watched him go. But before he left her range of sight, he turned and waved to her as a friend would. She waved back and he was gone. "Sayonara…Miroku…"
Miroku should have stayed. His body was beginning to react to the way his heart felt. Stress was beginning to overcome him and as he staggered towards an unknown location before passing out again…
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I and then I realize
There's more to love then bitterness and lies
More than a broken vow
I close my eyes
"You really need to stop collapsing, Miroku," an annoyed voice spoke up catching Miroku as he collapsed into the owner of the voice. Miroku chuckled weakling, apologizing to InuYasha for being a nuisance to him and Kagome. "Well…Kagome doesn't really care if you are a burden to her as long as you're okay," he said to him. "Come on…you look like hell…again. Let's get you home." Kirara came by and waited for the two men to climb on. Her mistress had stop fighting, Kirara had accepted Sango's choice of living a peaceful life. In silence, they ascended to the sky and descended to where Kagome was patiently. Night had fallen, and Kagome was most likely fast asleep by now. "You should eat first before getting to bed," InuYasha advised but Miroku declined and assured that he would eat in the morning. "Fine. Have it your way. Night."
I'd give away my soul to hold you once again.
And never let those moments end…
I let you go, I let you fly
Now that I know, I'm asking why
I let you go, now that I've found a way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow…
