7 months has come and gone for Sango. But for Miroku they dragged on hurting him more. He's never been this attached to a woman in his whole life.
"Wanna call her?" Tina asked handing Miroku her cell. But Miroku declined.
"She's...been through a lot. She's just...No worries." She said putting her hand on his shoulder for comfort but Miroku shrugged her off sighing.
"Thanks but she's made it clear. It was a mistake telling her the truth so it doesn't matter anymore." he said walking off. Tina felt so bad she didn't know what to do. It was clear and oh so obvious that Sango liked Miroku and that Miroku liked Sango...Tina was way over her head with stress to deal with.
*ring* *ring* *ring* went Sango's phone.
"What?" she said already knowing who it was.
"Who the hell are you to just walk out without calling?" Tina said on the other end. "Do you have any idea of what you have caused Miroku to become?!"
Sango sighed on the other end. "How bad can a 20yr-old be?" she thought to herself.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Tina scoffed, "What's wrong?! I am so sick of having a best friend/sister who runs every time her past confronts her! I have been a great friend to Miroku, supporting him while you run! Just run away Sango!"
"You have no idea how much pain it costs me to walk away from him Tina. And as my best friend I'd think you'd understand but you don't...So just get off of my case."
Tina sighed closing her eyes. "The man loves you still and he drinks his pain away...If that doesn't mean anything to you then you have no idea what true love is." she said hanging up.
Sango dropped her phone, tears running down her cheeks. Tina was right. She was running away instead of facing it. She got up and packed her bags. She didn't know why but she had to go back home and fix everything.
Back home Miroku wasn't himself.
"You have to stop." Tina said. "You are...great and this isn't you."
Miroku looked at her. His hair falling over his eyes, on his cheek.
"You have no idea how much I love her...She just...walked out...I know I'm pathetic for loving someone who hurt me...But I can't forget her." he said. His voice exposing the stress his eyes refuse to give out. Tina rested her head on his shoulder.
"Just forget about what she said." she said looking into his eyes. Just as that moment Miroku let himself go and kissed her. He pulled away and Tina felt her heart stop. She didn't like him in that way but he was cute indeed.
Days passed and Sango was starting to get sick of being on a plane. 3months pregnant and like she wasn't already use to being sick. After days of being on a plane...Maybe even a few hours. Hell she couldn't remember. It didn't matter though. All that mattered was she fix whatever she had caused. Finally as the sun awoke Sango could feel the plane come to a slow stop. Meaning she could finally get off. Once she got off she thought about calling Tina but decided against it. Instead she went back to her old house she use to live in. Big old looking. Doll house kind of look alike. A little blue and white outside. Curvy stairs that went up and down. She walked in taking in the old smell as the images flashed before her eyes.
August 17th 2006
"Please, I said I didn't do it!" Sango screamed as she backed up to a corner.
Mrs. Wrung found a letter from Sango's school saying how she was involved in a fight. Though she didn't start it.
"This letter says wrong!" Mrs. Wrung shot back picking Sango up by her hair making Sango scream in pain. "What is wrong with you!? Why are you such a bad child?!" she asked shaking her.
"Let me go!" Mrs. Wrung did just that walking away mumbling under her breath. She was yet done. Sango tried to get up but her ankle hurt. She twisted it while falling down the steps. Mrs. Wrung came back and started fussing at Sango yet again.
"Fuck you!" Sango yelled at Mrs. Wrung. Mrs. Wrung pulled Sango by her arm into the Basement.
"You don't say that to me!" She said hitting Sango sending her across the floor. "You small stupid brat! How dare you!"
Sango covered her face as Mrs. Wrung hit her. She couldn't do anything but take it. After Mrs. Wrung had left to get some things for dinner Sango crawled up to her bathroom. She couldn't run. The only way out was to end it all right here. But instead of killing herself Sango took out her lighter and set her window on fire. Watching it go up in flames. But before it could hit the whole house Mrs. Wrung put it out. Sango who had thought she lost her mind didn't care anymore.
"Kill me! Just do it!" She screamed at Mrs. Wrung who was already still mad about before.
"You know you want to! Stop being a bitch who's hiding behind fucking abuse and just do it!"
Mrs. Wrung came at Sango and she started screaming.
Sango was really screaming. She feel to her knees trying to catch her breath but the tears made it harder. Sango got up and started walking out not bothering to look back. She just wanted to get out. Get out and never come back.
Later that day she went to Miroku's place and knocked on his door. Miroku answered his hair a mess yet it still looked so cute to her. He wore Levi jeans and a black V-neck shirt that hugged him so right.
"Hi." She said in the sweetest way she could possibly find. Her brown hair falling on her shoulders. Eyes as beautiful as any he's ever seen.
"Hi." he replied putting his hand behind his head. "What--what are you doing here?" he asked which was a stupid question. "I mean...Hi."
Sango laughed soft. "I just...thought I should come back home to fix some things." she said looking down.
Miroku nodded and looked down. "Your...not pregnant?" he asked confused.
"Oh, no I am still." she said pulling her shirt up to revile a little bump on her stomach. Miroku blushed and laughed.
"So you do. How long?"
"7months so far..." she replied. She didn't want to have a kid now but she didn't believe in abortion.
"Congrats...Do--do you want to come in?" he asked. Sango nodded.
"How have you been?" he asked.
"Good. Same old Sango I was before." she replied laughing. Miroku's head started to hurt as he put his fingers to his temples.
"Are you okay?" Sango asked touching his hand. Miroku pulled back.
"Why did you come back?" he asked. Sango sighed looking down.
"Because I hurt you before...And I felt so bad about that, that I thought I should come back and say I was sorry."
Miroku laughed. "No, you didn't hurt me. You killed me...You took a knife and stabbed me in the heart and just left. And now you want to say you're sorry?"
"I am sorry...I didn't know what to do I--I was scared."
Miroku took Sango's face in his hands. "I could have taken that from you. If you would have let me love you dammit I could have stopped your pain."
Sango wanted to cry but held it all back. She took his hands and squeezed them tight.
"What has happened has happened. And I am sorry for hurting you but you...You have to let me go." she said looking up into his eyes.
Miroku closed his eyes and sighed. "Let go of something. If that something comes back to you it's yours, but if it doesn't it was never yours to begin with..." he quoted. "I'm dancing with the devil caught in his web but you Sango...You came back. I let you go once. I won't let you go again. " he finished.
Sango couldn't say anything. She was speechless until her phone started to ring making her jump a little.
"Answer it." Miroku said letting her go and walking towards his kitchen.
"Hello?" she said not looking at the caller ID.
"Sango! Dear, I'm dropping buy your studio for a while to visit you and Tina. Hope you don't mind."
"Ah, wait who--."
"Great! see you then!"
The other end went click and Sango looked at her phone. "Crap." she said putting her phone away.
"What's wrong?" Miroku asked looking at her from in his kitchen.
"Mrs. Wrung is coming by the studio to visit me and Tina meaning--."
"Meaning you have to face your past...Hmm, interesting...well then let's go!" Miroku said pulling Sango by the arm.
"I'd protest in some kind of way but...I can't really kick you with me being pregnant right now." she said following him to his car.
"Yeah, of course you can't. get in."
Minutes later Sango walked up behind Tina and poked her who was finishing papers. Poking each other was there sign whenever Mrs. Wrung was coming and they didn't want to get caught saying something.
"Hi Mrs. Wrung." Tina said smiling.
"Hello girls." Mrs. Wrung said walking towards them. Sango wasn't paying much attention when she walked in.
"Sango?"
"Yes?" she said looking at Mrs. Wrung.
"It's so nice to see you again...My baby...My sweet daughter." She said walking up to hug her but Sango moved aside looking for something.
"Hello Mrs. Wrung..." Sango replied.
"Who are you?" Mrs. Wrung asked looking at Miroku who stiffened.
"This is Miroku...He's a friend of ours." Sango replied. Mrs. Wrung looked at Miroku then back to Sango.
"Dear, I need you to come with me back home." she said.
"What?! I mean...where?"
"Back to the old house we use to live at...The one where you tried burning down." she said.
Tina looked down because she remembered that day oh so clear.
"Well, I guess...I could what for though?"
"I just bought the house back! Isn't that wonderful?"
Tina who was drinking water at the time chocked on it and tripped over her own feet bumping into Sango as she put her hand on her shoulder.
"You bought it back!? How?!" Tina said looking Mrs. Wrung.
"It never sold. So I bought it back." she replied smiling. "So this is why I need you to help me put some stuff in."
Sango took a deep breath and let it out. "I can't. I'm 7months pregnant."
Mrs. Wrung nodded. "Congrats but your still help with the little things. Your bf over there can help."
"Not bf and gf." Tina mumbled to Sango before walking off.
Miroku sighed and shrugged, "I'd like to help. See the old house you use to live in...Should be fun."
Sango sighed following Mrs. Wrung. She'd just came from that house. Horrible images flashed before her eyes. She can't go back but she was sick of running...And she did want to end this.
"Time to face all my fears...Along with my past." she thought approaching the house that once was a hell home for her. Sango walked up to her old room remembering all the painful memories.
September 20th 2006
Sango lied in her bed trying not to scream. She was in so much pain. Mrs. Wrung was in her hurtful mood again. She just got done taking her anger out on Sango. She had so many bruises on her arms and legs. But she didn't care. She got up from her bed and went to her bathroom turning on the water filling it up. After it was done she got into the tube and laid in it holding her breath praying to a God who hardly existed anymore to her t hat she'd die. When she didn't pass out Sango got out. Clothes dripping wet. She walked over and got a razor. Cutting wasn't one of her things because she already saw a lot of her blood already. But this time she wanted to be the reason for seeing her blood. Not Mrs. Wrung. She got back in the water filled warm tube. Her hair falling over her face. She took in a breath and smiled while running the razor down her arm, then her leg. She watched the water turn from clear to red. All she needed was her mother...Her real mother. But she was dead. So she had no one to turn too. She didn't want to go to Tina. Too much drama for her.
Sango closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She walked over to her bathroom and sighed.
March 24th 2008
Sango climbed out of her bathroom window and onto a tree snicking out. It wasn't like anyone would notice she was gone. She met up with some kids she knew. One boy handed Sango a beer bottle which she gladly took. After an hour of getting wasted to the point where your feet felt so heavy you thought they were nailed to the ground she finally went home. Only to be welcomed by Mrs. Wrung.
"Where have you been?" she asked.
Sango sighed not caring anymore. Every day and night it was the same. Sango comes home from school, gets beaten to the point where she's almost dead and so on. "Out." was all she could say.
"Come here." Mrs. Wrung ordered with that evil look in her eyes. But Sango didn't move. She was too busy trying to think of ways she could escape.
"Come here!" she ordered again but Sango started to back up as Mrs. Wrung came closer.
"Are you deaf child?! Get your ass over here now!"
"No!" Sango yelled and took off for her room but Mrs. Wrung who was mighty young. Not yet in her 40's caught her by the leg and dragged her back down.
"Let go of me!" Sango screamed. But Mrs. Wrung started to hit her. "Stop!" she screamed. She screamed as loud as she could but no one could hear her. Sango kicked her sending Mrs. Wrung back into a wall. Breathing heavily Sango got up and took off for the kitchen.
"Don't you dare come near me!" She said holding up a knife in front of her.
"Sango dear, put the knife down." Mrs. Wrung said. But Sango shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I am so fucking sick of you abusing me!" Sango yelled holding the knife up.
"Sango, I love you. now put the knife down. Please baby."
"You don't love me! You never loved me! You love no one but yourself and you won't hurt me no more!" she said stabbing herself letting out a horrid scream as she feel to her knees.
Sango did let out a horrid scream as she feel to her knees in pain.
"Sango?!" Miroku called. "What's wrong?" he asked helping her to her knees. Such sharp pains shot through her and she tried not to scream.
"Right, I'm getting you to a hospital." he said helping her. Tina who was already worried about Sango couldn't say a word. It was like Sango's past was haunting her as well. Like she could see everything and every pain Sango had gone through before her very own eyes.
"Ms. Tajiya, you just had sharp pains. Meaning you're in stress. No harm has been done to the baby so you have nothing to worry about." Dr. Shelby said.
"Yeah right." Sango thought.
"But I do think you should try not to stress much. Whatever you did don't do anymore. You need to be 100% stress free or you could lose this baby. Good chances are you could give birth before the 9th month hits. It all depends on the baby."
Sango nodded sitting up. Miroku sighed closing his eyes. "What were you doing anyways?" he asked.
"Flashing back to hell time." Sango said.
"Sango I need to say this." Miroku said getting in front of her.
"Okay?"
"I don't are rather you love me back or not but I love you...And I'm not going to walk away from you...We meaning you and I are in this together." He said looking into her eyes.
"Yeah."
"But...you still won't love me back will you?"
"Miroku, there's a lot of girls out there for you. Why put yourself down with me. I mean I'm a 19yr-old girl who's pregnant. Way too much."
"You were raped Sango! It's not your fault! I love you and that's all I'll keep doing rather you like it or not."
