Disclaimer: I do not own Miroku, Sango or any of the other characters represented in this fanfic. Neither do I own the lyrics of this song; they belong to Evanescence.
A/N: I'm BAACCCK! I was bored in Spanish class today and I had the new Evanescence CD with me, so I started looking at the lyrics. "Good Enough" popped out at me, so I just wrote this out real quick. Enjoy!!
"Good Enough"
Sango sat down against a tree in the clearing, exhausted. She'd been that way the past week. She wasn't physically tired; it was emotionally. Kagome and Inuyasha were on the other side of the well. Kaede had taken Shippo on the on the journey with her into the nearby mountains and Kirara was enjoying hunting without her. This left her alone with one person: Miroku.
That night two days back had been normal, and yet... not. Miroku was weaving his signature seduction spell over her, and of course, she couldn't resist.
Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
"Kami... I know he wanted me, and guess what? He got me!" Sango said out loud to herself. "I couldn't say no."
Crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Then, the playful games they played had faded; Sango remembered it so clearly. The flirtacious comments had faded to true confessions and declarations, at least from her end. "I can't help but wonder," she said to herself. "If his declarations were as heartfelt as mine were." She sighed and looked down at herself. "I don't look any different, but I am. Damn, because of this, now I have illusions of a perfect life." (A/N: she's sayin' all this out loud to herself. Just thought to clarify that...)
Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
"Me? And the perv? I never thought it would happen!" she exclaimed out loud. "I know I shouldn't have and I don't feel as though I deserve it, but I feel good. Just like me and him were supposed to do that."
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
"This feels perfect, like a drug, like something I could never live without," Sango continued with herself. "I wouldn't have stopped him if I wanted to; it felt too good."
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
"I don't look any different, but I am. I shouldn't feel any different, but I do," she said. "I'm a new person because Miroku took the old me. I don't mind that either and again, I wouldn't have stopped him."
And I've completley lost myself
And I don't mind
I can't say no to you
"I really shouldn't have let him do that," she reasoned. "Both of us! I mean, he took my virginity! (A/N: come on... if you hadn't caught on yet, that's just hopeless...) Damn... now I can't let go of the memories of it, and ... I want it again..."
Shouldn't have let you
Conquer me completley
Now I can't let go of this dream
"I can't believe I feel like this!" she reprimanded herself. "He's fated to die, we're on an assassination mission, where we'll both possibly die, and here we are having sex on the side. I shouldn't feel like this... but I feel good... After all he's done to my heart, it's about time he loved me back."
Can't believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming,
But I feel good
Sango let out a bitter laugh and said, "Now, all I can do is wait for something to happen, for my true tragedies to come back and make that night a dream. I could never have something this good happen to me and nothing horrible overwhelm it."
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough
Sango smiled bitterly. "Kami Miroku, just come here and break my heart. This isn't right; I'm not the one you should love, so end the charade and tell me i only dreamed that night, because I'm not the one you want."
Am I good enough
For you to love me too?
Miroku, who had been listening in the bushes after following her, emerged and came to embrace Sango. "Sango..." he said softly. "Why do you speak such nonsense?"
"Because I'm not good enough!" she exclaimed. "You shouldn't have claimed my innocence, we shouldn't have had sex, and we shouldn't have fallen in love!"
"But we did," he explained calmly. "And I don't regret it. Falling in love with a beautiful woman like you, being able to be the one you give your body and soul too; I'm honored that you chose me and I'm happy that all this happened. Forget your doubts; they're nothing now that we have each other."
"But... Miroku... what about..."
"What about you stop worrying and let me ask you a question?" he interrupted her.
"Miroku..." Sango explained. "if you heard what I said, you know I can't say 'no' to you."
He smiled. "I would hope you would never consider saying no to this question."
So take care what you ask of me
"What question?" she asked.
"Sango..." Miroku took her hands and kneeled in front of her. "Will you marry me? Be my wife?"
Sango's eyes widened in shock. "M-M-Miroku, what about Naraku? We need to kill him before any of this can happen."
"Sango, I don't care about that anymore," he explained. "All I care about is being with you."
"Then... yes," she stammered, leaning forward to capture his lips in a sweet kiss.
Cause I can't say no.
