The Best Policy

The key to a healthy relationship was complete and total honesty, Sango decided. Or, at least, that was the excuse she told herself when cornering Miroku and forcing him to fess up to her.

"How many girls have you been with before me?"

Miroku started to sweat, and tried to laugh nonchalantly. "Now, now, Sango, does it really matter? All that's in the past. You know you're the only woman for me."

"I'm not going to get mad, Miroku. I just want us to have a healthy, honest relationship." Sango calmly looked him in the eyes.

"You really won't be upset?"

"Of course not," Sango laughed. "I mean, it couldn't possibly be that many, right?"

Miroku let out a half-hearted chuckle. "Well…"

"Monk," Sango threatened. "Tell me."

And with a gulp, Miroku gave her the truth, closed his eyes, and waited for the inevitable clonk on the head. Complete and total honesty might be healthy for their relationship—but it certainly wasn't healthy for his skull.
