Sorry about the delayed update. College started back up and I've been looking for a job while trying to keep the house clean and manage to pick my brother up from high school on time. And I'm under some more stress right now. My boyfriend and I made a… "mistake" the other night and I'm slightly concerned that I may be pregnant. But I really don't think I am considering all of the facts and statistics I've looked up and about many of my friends who've done the same thing many times and are still childless. ANYWAYS, you guys aren't here to read about that. On with Miroku and Sango fluff!

Rejection

Sango was walking around the village at a leisurely pace, just enjoying the sounds of nature. She walked up a hill that led away from the village, and stopped once standing at the top. Sango sat down and rested her weight on the palms of her hands which were spread out behind her body.

The young demon slayer sighed happily and closed her beautiful brown eyes off from the world. The sun grazed across her already tanned skin and chestnut hair. Sango never felt so relaxed before. It had been a pretty good week, minus Kagome and Inuyasha getting into one of their heated arguments because of Kikyo's warning.

She then brought her thoughts back on topic. Miroku's face suddenly appeared in her mind's eye. She smiled to herself. He had been behaving himself since their ultimate confession of love just a couple weeks ago. Miroku hadn't gone out and womanized or groped unsuspecting ladies. He kept his hands strictly to Sango. Not that she mind, so long as they weren't in public.

Sango sighed happily and laid back on the grass, soaking up the sunshine. She was slowly drifting off into sleep until a shadow blocked the sun's rays. She lazily opened one eye and saw none other than Miroku. Sango immediately sat up and smiled at the monk, who offered a charming smile in return. It never failed; Miroku could always make Sango blush, even with the simplest of gestures.

"My dear, Sango," Miroku said softly. "You are so beautiful when you blush." This caused Sango to turn an even deeper shade of red as she giggled bashfully. Miroku chuckled at her rosy cheeks.

He then lowered himself to the ground and sat in a cross legged fashion next to Sango. Said woman leaned her head against Miroku's shoulder as they stared at the clouds in the sky, completely content with one another's presence.

About half an hour passed before Miroku cleared his throat and shifted his body slightly so that he and Sango were face-to-face. "Sango," he started. "I love you so very much." This always made Sango light up. "I love you, too," she whispered. Miroku smiled and continued, "You know that you are the only woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. And, if you permit me, I want to become the father of your children." Sango was confused as to where this was going, but she continued listening.

"I want to make you happy. I want to be the one to provide for you and keep you safe from harm and hold you at night. I want to be the only one you look at with adoration. I want to build a home and spend all of eternity with you. Sango, my love, will you marry me?"

At this point, Sango was in complete shock and utterly speechless. She opened and closed her mouth a few times. Her brown eyes brimmed with tears as a smile tugged at her lips. Sango knew no words would be able to escape her mouth at this moment, so she instead settled with nodding her head vigorously and throwing herself into Miroku's arms.

Miroku nearly fell back at the unexpected weight of Sango's body. He caught himself in time and wrapped his sturdy arms around her waist. He couldn't help but smile as he nuzzled his nose in her hair.

The two sat there for a long while, relishing the moment. Finally, Sango pulled herself from Miroku's arms and beamed at her new fiancée. She stood up and arched her back for a moment and then leaned down and offered Miroku her hand. He took it and she hauled him off the ground and to his feet in one swift movement.

As he dusted off his robes he said, "I don't know if I'll ever get used to your superior strength." Sango laughed and replied, "Admitting it is one step closer to acceptance." Miroku laughed along with her as she hooked her arm in his. Together, they strolled leisurely though the forest and back to Kaede's hut in the village.

Okay, I know this is extremely short but this is all I can get out as of right now. I promise the next chapter will be longer. I honestly think the length for this one fits perfectly for Sango and Miroku. Anyways, please review.

Also, Kyra you are so damned funny with your reviews! You always have a way to encourage me to write when I rather be reading. :P Thanks so much to everyone who has reviewed! I would leave a list but let's face it, I'm too lazy. AND ANOTHER THING: there is a poll on my profile about which story I should concentrate on after this one is complete. Please take the poll, for your opinion matters to me.

Much love,

Kikira Lynn
