Chapter 5 – Sango can be a Scary Woman…

Back to Miroku's POV. And in this chapter, I introduce something new – song lyrics! There's a double meaning behind the title 'Miracle' but we'll get to that later. This chapter, I'm using the lyrics for the song 'Bad Boy' by Cascada to express how Sango's feeling. I don't own the song, or Cascada, which sucks. Oh, and I suppose I'm supposed to put one of these;

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. If I did own Inuyasha, Sango would be pregnant with Miroku's kid by now, Inuyasha would have proposed to Kagome, Kagome would actually fight for a change, and Shippou would not exist. However, since none of these things have happened, I guess I don't own Inuyasha. Damn it. Onto the chapter – KILL HIM, SANGO!

"Miroku…" Sango started, her eyes bulging out of her head. I knew it was bad from the start – this was the first time Sango had ever called me by my name. Usually it was 'Houshi-sama'. So I was mentally preparing myself for death.

"Yes, Sango…dearest?" I might as well milk it for all I could if I was going to die.

"I hope you realize that you JUST NAILED A CAT! WHAT, DID YOU ASK HER TO BEAR YOUR KID WITHOUT THINKING THAT IT WOULD GO INTERSPECIES!"

She thundered. I winced. Harsh.

Kirara wasn't so cowed. "What's that supposed to mean?" She barked. "What's wrong with being a cat? Are you trying to start something?"

"HELL YES I'M TRYING TO START SOMETHING, YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH MY FIANCEE!" Now she was really pulling out the heavy artillery. As the conversation shifted away from me, I slowly backed away, still praying to Buddha to spare me.

"WE DIDN'T DO A THING! OUR CLOTHES ARE STILL ON, AREN'T THEY?" And then suddenly Kirara's eyes went wide. "Wait, you two are betrothed?"

"YES WE ARE!" Sango yelled. But this time, I could see the tears sparkling in her eyes. "Kirara, he proposed to me! We're engaged to be married! And how could you do this to me? You knew how much this would hurt me!"

"Sango, I didn't know you were betrothed!" Kirara stammered. "I mean, I saw you two talking, but I didn't understand any of it, I was still a cat!"

Sango seemed to think she was serious. But that was bad, because now she looked at me.

""Remember the feelings, remember the day

My stone heart was breaking, my love ran away,""

"Miroku…" She whispered. "You knew. You were the one who proposed to me. And yet you French-kissed my pet cat. I don't get it. I thought you loved me."

""This moment I knew I would be someone else

My love turned around, and I felt…""

"Sango, you have to let me explain." I said softly. Maybe if I just talked calmly to her I could get her to understand. Kirara was backed up against a tree, watching the scene with wide, scarlet eyes.

"No, I don't want an explanation!" She yelled. "You were cheating on me, right in my face, and you know it!"

""Be my bad boy, be my man,

be my weekend lover but don't be my friend,""

"Sango…" I could only whisper. Now the tears were pouring out of her brown eyes. She didn't look angry – she almost looked defeated, like she was surrendering.

""You can be my bad boy, but understand

That I don't need you again, no I don't need you again,""

"Miroku, Kirara –" She said, "You can have your interspecies love affair for all I care! Miroku, THE ENGAGEMENT IS OFF!" And with that, the tears coming out like a waterfall, she gave one last look at me before sprinting off into the forest.

""You once made this promise to stay by my side,

But after some time you just pushed me aside

You never thought that a girl could be strong,

Now I'll show you how to move on…"

I sat, staring after her as her form vanished through the trees. Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippou – who had obviously woken up after all the screaming – were looking at Kirara and I with astounded expressions. Kirara looked on the brink of tears as well. She clutched my purple robe tighter around herself and looked desperately at me before dropping it and sprinting off in the opposite direction of Sango.

""Won't you be my bad boy, be my man

Be my weekend lover but don't be my friend

You can be my bad boy, but understand

I don't need you in my life again…

No I don't need you again.""


That was kind of depressing. I wanted the chapter to be funny, but I guess this is the direction it was headed. Oh well – I promise I'll update soon! Review and tell me what you think! Arigatou! -
