Well I wasn't sure whether or not to bother to keep writing this since like no one other then animefreek89 has read it. Then I decided, aw what the heck why not, I've already started might as well finish. So here goes.
Chapter 3: Miroku Who?
Sango was pointing straight at Miroku when she said those painful words. Kagome and Inu stared at her in confusion. Miroku's face twisted in pain as her words hit him hard. "Sango, what's wrong? Are you alright?" He said, voice shaking, as he stepped closer to her. She backed away. "Get away from me. I don't even know you and you're acting like we've known each other for months." She said as she pushed Inu in front of her. Miroku stumbled back hurt. He looked at her as a tear rolled down his cheek. She looked at him and tilted her head to the side. "Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?" Miroku whipped away his tear and looked at her. The look on her face wasn't the usual warm caring look she always had when with him. He looked down again and walked away. Kagome turned to Sango. "What the hell was that all about? Did you and Miroku have a fight while I was sick? How could you say that to him? I can't believe you!" She shrieked at Sango who stared at her in confusion. "What are you talking about? I don't even know him. Why do you keep acting like we are together?" Inu looked at her in a frazzled style. "Are you nuts? You have been a couple since he proposed to you and now your acting really weird. Maybe you need some sleep." He said ushering her towards Kaede's. She looked at them and realized that it was useless to try and reason with them.
She let them lead her back to Kaede's where she saw that same man standing at the door. He looked like he was in pain and when she saw this, her heart ached for some reason. He looked up when they came closer. Their eyes met and for a split second she recognized him and all she wanted to do was leap into his arms and comfort him. She shook her head realizing what a stupid thing she was thinking. Sango walked right past Miroku into Kaede's hut and went for the beds. She looked down on the floor then back up. "Why are there four sleeping bags? Shippo sleeps with you Kagome so why is there another one?" She questioned. Miroku had just walked in when her question hit him deep. She couldn't remember him and only him. She could remember everything else. His heart began to sink and a lump formed in his throat. He laid down in his sleeping bag and put his face in his pillow.
Sango looked down at the monk and then at her other friends. "Ok, can anyone please tell me who he is." She said with a bit of hostility in her voice. Kagome walked up to her and sat her down. She explained about Miroku and recounted everything with him in it then she proceeded to tell Sango about their relationship. Sango looked at her in a confused manner. She shook her head and went and laid down. "I'm going to sleep so that when I wake up in the morning everything will be back to normal." She exclaimed as she rolled over.
Miroku had been listening to the whole conversation and when Sango said 'back to normal' he began to have flash backs of that happy day before this whole tragedy happened. He buried his face deeper into the pillow trying not to cry from this pain. He slowly fell asleep.
The next morning he woke before the others. Since Sango didn't know him anymore and he only hurt her when he was near he decided to leave. He got up and was about to walk out of the hut when Sango stirred and awoke. She looked at him and sighed. "I thought everything would be back to normal after I slept." She said as she stood and stretched. Miroku's eyes watered and he moved closer to her. Her eyes were closed because of her stretch. He pulled her to him and held her tight. When she felt his arms around her she gasped and began to squirm to get free. Miroku's heart began to shrink. He felt lonely without HIS Sango and he missed her so much. Before he left he had to do one thing. He grabbed her chin, bent down and kissed her. Her eyes widened in shock but she stopped struggling. They closed their eyes entranced in the moment. Memories were swimming in Miroku's head and as he kissed her he began to cry. I love you so much Sango and so I will leave you as not to hurt you any further. Goodbye my sweet. He thought to himself as they held their kiss.
A memory of the other day came flying back to Sango. She remembered the warm feeling of his kiss and remembered falling asleep in his arms. She remembered waking up and thinking all those things and how he comforted her. She became very confused. Why am I seeing these things? What's going on? She thought to herself. The kiss ended and she backed away. Miroku looked at her, tears rolling down his face. For a split second he thought he saw his old Sango but just as fast as it had appeared, it disappeared. He turned and walked out the door leaving Sango standing alone.
Her heart began to hurt and it cried out for him. Her eyes watered without her knowledge and she found herself running after him. She ran through the door and up behind him. She hugged him from the back and began to cry. "Please don't leave just yet. I'm having these weird memories and feelings. I don't want you to go! Please stay with me!" She pleaded, tears streaming from her eyes.
