So here is chapter two of the story! I hope you enjoy!

Everyone was now sitting in a circle, cups of instant noodles in each of their hands. Much was silent until Kagome broke it.

"So uh...how did you and Sango become engaged?" she asked awkwardly. Miroku took in a sip of the broth in the cup. He looked over at Sango, who was looking at Miroku, who was looking at Minoru. Now that's what I call a triangle. Minoru began his story.

"I told you I was from the other demon slaying village." He said. Everyone nodded. "Well, there weren't always tow villages. At one point, there was a single village. However, the two leaders of the village got into an argument and those who believed one went with him and the ones who believed the other stayed. All of the people who left started their own village, so that's how they came to be. It's been fifty years since then and now the villages want to join again by having the first son and the first daughter of the chiefs get married. Even though Sango's village is destroyed, my village still wishes for us to be married."

Inuyasha then interrupted him.

"But then why didn't this happen with the last generation of children?" he asked.

"Because the daughter was always married before her eighteenth birthday." Replied Minoru, "I knew that Sango's birthday was coming so I decided to find her and bring her back if she wasn't already married by her birthday."

Sango continued to watch Miroku who didn't seem to care at al about the situation and just kept eating is meal.

"So you're basically going to stick with us for a week and then take Sango with you back to your village?" said Inuyasha.

"That's about the sum of it." He said. Sango took a bite of some noodles.

"Why should she go back?" asked Kagome.

"Because if she doesn't my village will always have a grudge against hers, and I'm sure that she doesn't want that."

Sango gulped. She didn't want to go with Minoru, but she didn't want his village to hate her village. They may all be dead, but she didn't want them to be remembered by people as mean or nasty. But if she did marry him, then...

'Miroku...'

"I'm going to go for a walk." Said Miroku. He gave his empty cup to Kagome as he stood and walked off into the forest. Sango watched him as he wandered and felt unbelievable sadness. There was no way on earth that she could leave him. She stood as well, put her cup down, and ran after him. Minoru watched as Sango ran after the man she loved and sighed.

"That monk, Miroku was it?" he said, " he is very lucky." Inuyasha gave him a confused look.

"What do you say that?"

"Because he has someone like Sango always at his side, always following him. I wish that she was so affectionate with me." Kagome shook her head.

"She's just met you. It's going to take her some time, plus, you're the one who wants to take her away from us and that's not exactly giving you the best stats." Minoru sighed.

"But still, when she fell into my lap, I was convinced that she had fallen from the very heavens above." He leaned his chin onto his hand. Kagome couldn't help but feel bad for him since he seemed to be so in love with Sango.

'I wish Inuyasha would talk about me like that.' She thought. It seemed that just as she thought that, Inuyasha spoke.

"I sort of understand how you feel." He said, a blush beginning to spread across his features. "What do you mean?" asked Minoru. Inuyasha blushed deeper.

"There is a woman that I love. She's great. She makes me feel all sorts of things I've never felt before in my life, and she's beautiful to boot." Kagome was beginning to blush now as well.

"The only problem is, I know that she'll never love me the way I love her. I mean after all, just look at me. I'm nothing but a worthless half breed. She can do so much better, so I try and help her, but I just can't. I love her too much." Minoru was completely wowed by the speech Inuyasha had just made, and he wasn't the only one either. Kagome was close to tears herself.

'Inuyasha...' she thought, 'were you talking about me just now?'

(with Sango and Miroku)

Miroku had not gotten a big head start in front of Sango, so she easily caught up. He noticed her standing next to him, but didn't say a word. She walked with him for maybe ten minutes in total silence. Oddly enough, Miroku was the one to break the silence.

"So what do you plan on doing?" he asked. Sango was taken by slight surprise by the fact that he was now speaking to her. She hadn't really prepared an answer, so she went with the oldest excuse in the book.

"I don't know." She was blushing. She looked up at Miroku from the corner of her eye and she could have sworn that he now looked somewhat happy. All she said was that she didn't know, which apparently made him happy.

'Maybe he doesn't want me to leave.' She thought. She got a little closer to him and took his hand in hers. He let out a small gasp and looked down at their hands. When he looked at her face, she was blushing and leaning up against him. he stopped in front of a beautiful sakura tree and sat down.

"Sango, why did you follow me?" he asked. She blushed and began to fiddle with her hands.

"Be-because I was worried about you. You seemed so quiet since Minoru came, I thought that you had gotten upset about something and I wanted to make you feel better." Miroku laughed.

"That's one of the many things I like about you Sango." He said, standing up. She was blushing more now. He looked deep into her eyes.

"Sango, before you give Minoru your answer, tell me first, please." His face was so close to hers, she began to sweat a little, but nodded her head yes to his request. He smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Let's head back shall we?" Sango, who was still nervous from moments before, gave another nod and followed him while holding his hand.

"Miroku," she said, "may I ask why you want to know before Minoru?" Miroku looked at her and smiled.

"You may ask, but you will get no answer." She gave him a smile and pushed him a bit. He laughed and gently pushed back, so she pushed back harder, and he pushed back even harder. However, Miroku pushed a little too hard and pushed her down and landed right on top her. Both of their faces were beat red. Yet again, their faces were so close. Miroku bean to lean down to try to close the gap. Sango just lay there, baffled. Miroku was acting so out of character, and he was getting closer. However, just as their lips were about to meet, Minoru came running through the forest, yelling Sango's name. Miroku immediately jumped off her and she sat up. They were both still blushing. Minoru eventually found where they were sitting and brought Sango up to her feet.

"Minoru, what are you doing out here in the forest?" she asked. Minoru was smiling like an idiot.

"Because Sango, I have made up my mind. I am going to try my hardest to win your love before I take you back with me! That way, you won't feel so bad about leaving your friends!" He looked like he was expecting praise, so Sango, being the gracious and patient person that she was, gave it to him.

"Thank you Minoru. I'm happy that you want me to be happy." He smiled at her and shook his head.

"No, Sango, thank you for accepting me." He said, and with that, he kissed her, right in front of Miroku. She pulled away fairly quickly.

"Minoru, what the hell are you doing?" she exclaimed. He seemed a bit shocked that Sango was so upset.

"I was trying to show you how much I cared!" he said. She tried to answer him, but her words were jumbled and she was busy looking for Miroku's reaction.

Rage.

Miroku was so close to unleashing the wind tunnel on that idiot, it's not even funny.

'How dare he...' he thought, 'how dare he kiss my Sango...' and then it hit him. She was his Sango! She'd already told him so herself. Miroku got stupid grin on his face as he walked right between Minoru and Sango.

"What do you think you are doing monk?" asked Minoru in an annoyed tone. Miroku merely laughed.

"I'm sorry to tell you this Minoru, but Sango is already going to be married to someone the day before her birthday!" Sango was just as confused as Minoru.

"What are you talking about?" he said. Miroku's grin widened.

"Sango promised herself to me after a battle in a village full of demon women." He said. That's when Sango remembered. She was engaged to Miroku. Minoru was a non believer.

"Sango, is that true?" he asked. Sango tried to resist a smile, but failed.

"Sorry Minoru, I had forgotten all about the fact that I was already engaged to Miroku!" She intertwined her arm with his and they held hands again. Minoru watched as they got comfy with each other and thought he was going to explode when he got an idea.

"That's fine, because I still have five days to prove to Sango that I would make a better husband than you." Miroku looked at him.

"Is that a challenge?"

"But of course." Miroku stuck out his other hand and Minoru put his out and they shook hands.

"I accept your challenge Minoru, and I assure you, I won't loose."
