Author's Note: For all of you that didn't like my story I'm sorry. I wrote it because I was raped and it's easier to cope writing about it than just being depressed thinking about it. I wasn't raped as brutal as what I made Sango's out to be, but I was raped all the same. So if you want to go out and leave me reviews that I have some mental problem because of how I choose to live because of what happened. Anyways, I just wanted to have my say. Here's my new chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 14

Sango

Sango was having a hard time dealing with what had happened to her. It was about two months afterwards, and she still would not let Miroku touch her. It was hard on both of them and it was hard on their relationship as well. They fought constantly. Miroku told her that it didn't matter to him, that Sango was still the same Sango that he fell in love with, but she didn't listen. She felt that he was lying to her just to make her feel better about what happened.

Sango would cry herself to sleep almost every night. The only time that she wouldn't was when she was wasted and just passed out somewhere through out to sleep, just to wake up to find her hair covered in vomit, or her clothes soaked with alcohol.

Miroku would check on Sango every morning before work, and today was one of the times that she drank so much that she would pass out and sleep.

Miroku knocked on the door, no one answered. He was about to take his key to Sango's house out of his pocket when he noticed that the door was unlocked and slightly open. Miroku opened the door and saw Sango in the hallway cleaning up her vomit.

"Sango let me get this for you. Why don't you just go take a shower and get clean? Maybe take a few aspirin and take a nap." Miroku told her helping Sango off of the floor.

"Thank you Miroku, I think I'm going to take you up on your offer. I feel like shit and maybe that will help me. Do you mind making me some tea after you clean up my mess?" Sango asked sweetly.

"Of course not. I will be waiting with it for you in your bedroom. This way I can tuck you in and everything after your shower."

"Thank you Miroku. I know that I haven't been treating you so well after I was raped, but you are really a dream come true." Sango said than kissed Miroku softly on his lips and went down the hall to take her shower.

"I can't believe it. She hasn't kissed me in so long. Maybe she's finally getting over this whole rape thing. I really hope so. I want to get married to her and have kids with her so bad. I wanted to ask her to marry me, but then she was raped. I can't ask her right now. I just can't. But maybe if I do she will recover from this even faster and we can be a family. I'll ask her today, after her shower. I'll even call of work so this way if she says yes we can go pick out a ring right away. This will be perfect. The timing is perfect. If I wait too much longer it might be too late." Miroku thought to himself while he was cleaning the mess off the floor.

While Sango was in the shower she was thinking to herself. She didn't feel like living anymore, nothing seemed like it was worth living for. Not even Miroku. Yes, she loved him, but she just didn't feel right being with him, like Miroku was treating her like a pity case. She hated feeling this way and she was determined to do anything to get out of her relationship with Miroku, even if it meant killing herself.

Sango finished up her shower, with the wheels still turning in her head about ways to kill herself. What would be the best way, will it be painful, that kind of thing. When Sango was finally dressed, and in her bed for the first time since the night before, she called Miroku in. Miroku came in with not only a mug of Sango's favorite tea, but with a little black box.

Sango looked at Miroku and turned her head to the side and just started at him for a while. "What is this?" Sango asked not sure of what it was. She was hoping that it would be a ring or earrings, but for what purpose Miroku had to get her a gift was way beyond her.

"I'm sick and tired of waiting," Miroku answered once the question reached his ears. "I've had this for a while now, and I've realized something while I've been waiting to give this to you. I've been waiting for the best time, when you're finally over the fact that you were raped, and I've realized, that's never going to happen. You're never going to be over it, it's always going to stick with you, and you want to know something? I don't care. I love you; I love all of you, your broken heart and all. Just please Sango, please, just do me a favor and give me a chance to mend your broken heart. Sango, I love you, will you marry me?"

Sango was shocked; she didn't know what to say. Could she have been wrong all along? "I'm sorry Miroku, but I can't give you an answer right now. Just give me some time to think everything out and I will give you an answer then. It's just that I've been so confused since the rape that I need some time to get my head all straightened out. I just want you to know that I love you and that I will give you an answer as soon as I have one for you." Sango said silently crying.

"Okay Sango, I might not be able to stand the suspense of it, but I can respect you for it. I don't want you to commit to something that you're not ready for. I knew I should have waited longer I just knew it." Miroku said feeling stupid that he didn't wait longer before asking Sango to marry him.

"Miroku, it's not your fault. You asked in perfect time. In fact, I thought that you were only dating me because you felt bad for me. I thought that you wanted to leave me after I was raped, but because I was you wanted to stay with me because you felt bad. I was going to kill myself after you left, but because of this it proves to me you have stayed with me because you love me. So thank you Miroku, you saved my life. So Even though I don't have an answer for you now, please take pride in knowing that you saved my life." Sango said with a smile.

"Yes, I was able to save your life from you, but what about your rapist. He said no cops, but he said that no one could know other than Kagome and yet you tell me anyway. Why?"

"Because I know you love me Miroku, that's why. And because you know of the treat I know that it won't happen. All you would have to do is just whoop his ass, or shoot him, and all you would have to do was say that you were distraught of the fact of loosing me and that you had to kill him, you just had to kill him. This way you could make it so someone else didn't suffer like I did. You are a bigger threat to him than you are to me. Trust me, I'll be okay."

"You better be." Miroku said than kissed Sango on her forehead. "I have to go to work now; I'll come by before I head home."

Miroku left Sango's room, and right before he was about to leave her house Sango called after him as loud as she could this way he would leave without her saying something she's wanted to say to him for a while. Once Miroku arrived back to Sango's room, she was sitting on her bed with a big smile on her face.

"What? What is that smile about? What are you hiding?" Miroku interrogated her.

"I'm not hiding anything, I was just wondering if you would want to stay the night with me?"

"Yeah, I will. Anyways, I have to go now. I'll see you tonight." Miroku said than gave Sango a peck on her lips before heading out of her house and to work.

"You know Sango; this is how it will be every day if you get married to him. You will feel loved for the rest of you life, you will have someone to protect you, and you will have no more worries. You do love him, so why not surprise him with a 'Yes Miroku, I'll marry you.' when he comes home. He'll be so happy. You know you want to marry him, so just say yes and get it over with already."

A/N: I know it was short, but since it took me so long to write I wanted to write another chapter right after it. So I hope you liked this chapter, sorry so long for the update.

Sincerely,

Inuyasha's Black Heart
