A/N: This is an incredibly sweet song, it's a little old but I love it! If you haven't heard it you should.

I'm Already There

Miroku walked through the hotel, desperately searching for a pay phone, finding one; he noticed that there was an extremely long line. And so he waited. Why? He waited because he needed to hear her, to tell her she was loved. To have at least some connection with her. Miroku was part of a major band in Asia and his tours took him everywhere, right now he was in China. And his wife and kids back in Tokyo.

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time

Tokyo

Sango sat anxiously waiting for the phone to ring. Watching her twin son and daughter play she smiled.

"Hana! Hiroshi! Be careful please!" Sango warned.

Suddenly the phone rang.

China

Miroku dialed his number waiting for Sango to pick up.

"Miroku?" Sango voice asked as she picked up the phone.

"Hai," Miroku replied.

"I love you," Sango said.

"I love you too," Miroku replied

Miroku heard scuffling in the background, he knew his son and daughter were play fighting. A tear appeared in the corner of his eye. He hastily wiped it away before Inuyasha came back.

"Hana!" he heard Sango's voice scold, "What have you done to your brother?"

But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye

Suddenly Miroku heard the phone being picked up. Hiroshi and Hana were both on the line. His kids, at five years old, didn't know what it was like to have a full-time dad.

"Hey, Daddy," they said.

"When are you coming home?" Hana asked.

A little voice came on the phone
Said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind

Miroku honestly had no idea, but he told them, "If you look you can see I'm already there, I'm living in your hearts, if you ever need me look there."

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there

Miroku heard the phone switch again. Sango voice was back.

"I miss you, Miroku," She said. "Stop worrying about the kids, I can take care of them."

He waited knowing there was more.

Sango continued, "I wish I could be there with you!"

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

Miroku soothed her, "I know, I know, I'll be back soon, and my spirit is already there." He heard the sadness in her voice, and was trying to calm her down. "Just remember, that whenever the moon shines it's the same moon I can see right now."

Miroku was feeling terribly homesick; his tour was almost over thank God. "Sango, you have to believe me, just take a look, everything you see, has a part of me. Every time your heart beats mine does as well."

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there

"Distance means nothing, as long as I know you'll be waiting for me with open arms. I think I'm going to be back next Saturday, I hope sooner. Maybe I can get Inuyasha to threaten the director of the tour." Miroku said.

Sango laughed. "Thanks, but please at least get Kouga to talk to the director or whatever he has a little more sense than Inuyasha not much though".

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

Miroku realized his phone limit was about to cut him off from Sango. "I love you! Don't forget I'll always be there; tell the kids I miss them and give them each hugs form me! Bye Sango-chan!" Miroku rushed.

"Good-bye, Miroku I lo-"the phone line cut out.


Oh I'm already
There

Inuyasha walked into the lobby of the hotel and saw Miroku hanging up the phone. Inuyasha was smart enough to know his friend had just been cut off from his only contact with his family.

"C'mon," Inuyasha said gruffly, "the faster we get back to practice, the faster we can go home, Kami-sama knows I miss, Kagome as much as you miss Sango, although I have no idea how it feels to be away from kids seeing as I have none."

Miroku smiled, "Your right, Inuyasha you have no idea what it's like to have kids." But you will soon, Miroku thought as he remembered the secret that Kagome had confided him and Sango in on.

Inuyasha would be a father in about 7 or 8 months now. At least Inuyasha had cheered him up. Miroku had just imagined the look on Inuyasha's face when Kagome told him she was expecting. He couldn't wait to be there for it.

The End

Wow, a happy ending? Cool. Two things.

Linkmaster27: Yes, Houshi-sama, I already told Tori-chan she could call you that now look at that I'm starting! AGH! CURSE TORI!
