Is there anyone still out there..? If so, here is your update.. 6 years later. Sorry about that, really. I stumbled upon this and decided that I would finish it. Hopefully I don't get caught up in life again. Anyway, I won't post again until the entire story is done. I reread this and oh my gosh, it's terrible. Hah. I have to find a way to write the remaining half in a way that still fits the prior half but better at the same time. It's going to take some work.. Let me know if you guys are still out there.

My sincerest apologies,

21 year old trying to finish a 15 year olds' story.

After Kouga finally decided to leave my house I ran upstairs to go talk to Miroku. I needed his advice even though I already knew what he would say. I found him lying face down with his earphones in. That was his 'I hate my life' position. He was upset.

"Uh, Miroku? You okay, man?" I walked over to him and realized that he couldn't hear me. So with an evil idea I smirked and started slowly backing away. I ran full speed and leapt right onto his back.

"Unnnghh ah! Kagome! You punk!" He sat up, throwing me off him. I rolled on the floor in a fit of laughter.

"Sorry, that was way too easy. You didn't even know I was in here." I heaved through struggled breaths. "You okay?"

"You practically broke my back! Geez." He huffed and pulled me back onto the bed.

"That isn't what I meant. You were in your depressed position and I'm done tip toeing around this shit." I gave him an intent stare. "You want to see Sango."

He looked down and sighed. "Well, of course. But I know she has no intention of seeing me. Not after what I did."

"Well, Miroku, I have to admit it was pretty stupid and selfish of you. What in the hell were you thinking?"

"I honestly couldn't handle the reaction I would get from her. I couldn't stand tearing apart what we had. It meant way too much to me. I know I probably screwed it up even more, but I felt like it was easier this way. Long distance wouldn't have worked for us." He lied back onto my bed. "At least I don't think it would have."

"Why didn't you come to me? I could have told you what an idiot you were being. Sango was devastated. And pretty pissed off at me for keeping it from her too." I rolled my eyes remembering the heated discussion that took place the day I finally told her. The day after Miroku had moved and changed his phone number.

"It wasn't your place to say anything or make the decision for me. You know that."

"Well, yes. Which is why I choose to let you do what you wanted and stay out of it. I just wish you would have given me permission to make the choice for you." I chuckled. He had a point about them not being able to do long distance though. No matter how much they loved each other, Sango would have never trusted Miroku completely. He knew that.

"What's done is done, I suppose." He sighed and shuffled to get up. "Can we go out and do something?"

I sat up and nodded. I wouldn't mind doing something to clear my head. "Let's take a ride on my bike? Maybe the polluted air will do us some good." I laughed and started gearing up.

After an hour of riding around we decided to stop for some ice cream.

"Hey Miroku, would you even consider trying to get back with Sango?" I asked.

He hesitated and replied with a simple, "We both just need to move on."

I hadn't realized how much he had really matured until that moment. I was a bit surprised but I knew he meant what he said. I needed to leave it alone. I grabbed my phone and sent Ayame a text. 'Cancel the mission. Miroku isn't in. We should just let them be.'

"You're sure about that?" I asked again.

"Yeah, Kags. I still live in Hong Kong, you know." He paused to eat some ice cream. "It was a fun ride while it lasted and I'll always love her but shit, some things aren't meant to be."

Miroku's words echoed in my mind. It was a fun ride while it lasted. Was that the fate that I would have with Kouga? Could we try again or just let it be? "Damn dude, when did you grow up?"

This isn't very long at all. It's honestly a tease and I'm sorry but I needed to let you all know how different my mind set is now. Of course, 6 years later it has to be. I want these characters to grow and start being adults. Kagome still has a lot ahead of her though.
