Inurella

Chapter 11: Three's Company

It had been 24 hours since Sango had left Miroku and Inuyasha feeling guilt ridden and broken at the Palace Garden Lounge.

There was only one day left till the ball and everything seemed like a mess. Miroku had broken Sango's heart, Miroku never in his life, felt this guilty about anything.

Inuyasha was sad for Sango as well as his best friend and to top it off; the woman of his dreams thought he was a crazy pervert and she was nowhere to be found.

Miroku had been moping all over the palace with his head down mumbling to himself, trying to think of a way to make it up to Sango, or even if he should attempt to talk to her again.

Many people thought that Miroku was very ill since they had not received a proposal of marriage and a baby for an entire day. Many people that day were concerned for Miroku's well-being.

Inuyasha had enough of Miroku depressing attitude and went down to talk to Sango.

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"Who is it?" Sango asked.

Inuyasha scratched his head. "Umm Hi Sango it's me, can we talk?"

Inuyasha heard her sigh and opened the door.

She opened it enough to peak her head out.

"What do you want Inuyasha?" Sango asked, clearly irritated.

Inuyasha looked down at his feet and cleared his throat.

"Well I just thought you should know, Miroku hasn't been …."Himself" lately" Inuyasha explained.

Sango opened the door wider. "They say he hasn't flirted with anyone over a 24 hour period, is true Inuyasha?" she said as she grabbed hold of Inuyasha's shirt.

Inuyasha placed a hand over her hand and sighed. "I'm afraid so, and it's a long time for him Sango….a long time." He said as he bit his knuckle and winced.

Sango put a hand to her mouth "My God…" and motioned for Inuyasha to come in.

Meanwhile at the palace stables…

Miroku had been moping around all day and managed to find himself walking up to the stables where Sango worked with the animals.

Miroku gulped and looked around to see if he could find Sango. But she was not to be seen. He sighed and took a deep breath and thought. "I think it's about time I face her, and at least apologize to her, she deserves that much". Miroku made up his mind and set out to the palace quarters where she lived.

Meanwhile at Sango's place…

Inuyasha had explained to Sango everything that happened the day before including the mysterious girl he met and of course about how Miroku hit his head and explained it was all a misunderstanding.

Sango sighed with relief. "Thank you Inuyasha for telling me this, but Miroku should be the one to explain his own actions."

Inuyasha placed his hands on Sango's shoulders "He will Sango, I just wanted you to know the whole story before he attempted to make an idiot out of himself trying to apologize."

Sango smiled. "Thanks Inuyasha, you're a good friend, to both of us."

Inuyasha nodded and smiled. "Well I will leave the rest up to you two, hopefully you can work things out before the …"ball" Inuyasha said as he cringed.

Sango giggled and assured Inuyasha that this mysterious girl may show up at the ball. Which both excited and petrified him at the same time.

Inuyasha was about to leave when Sango had mentioned that her window had popped out of its hinges so Inuyasha offered to help her out.

Miroku had made his way to Sango's door when he had heard banging and grunting. Miroku placed his ear to the door out of curiosity.

"Ughh this thing won't go in!"

BANG

"It's too big to fit this hole!"

BANG

"Try harder!"

BANG

"I am, but its stuck ughh!"

BANG

"I'll get some lube!"

BANG

"Don't bother I forced it in, it was just a little dry. I used my spit to moisten it up"

"Eww clean it up after your done"

I just gotta wiggle it around a bit…..ughh, ughh, uggghhhh that's it, it's in there good now."

"You should really dust in here Sango it's really dusty around the rims."

Miroku was both shocked and appalled by what he was hearing. He immediately opened the door to see Sango bent over the window sill while Inuyasha was standing just behind her reaching up to the top of the window.

Miroku's mouth was wide open, he couldn't believe what his best friend was doing to his woman!

With clenched fists he yelled. "I knew it! I knew you two were doing something behind my back!"

Sango stood up straight and turned around and Inuyasha re-positioned himself beside Sango, now standing next to her in confusion.

"What are you going on about?" Inuyasha said crossing his arms.

Miroku stood there facing his friends "Yo…you two, were having sex!"

Inuyasha's face turned bright red and Sango picked up the nearest object which happened to be her shoe and threw it at Miroku's face "You idiot! he was helping me fix my window!"

Miroku dodged the shoe. "Oh sure, is that what people are calling it these days? "Fixing Windows". He said as he made quotations with his fingers.

Inuyasha face palmed himself amidst his blushing. "Miroku….think carefully before you say you're next words." Inuyasha said with clenched fists.

Miroku was so embarrassed he knew in his head they weren't doing anything inappropriate, but he had gone too far to back down now.

Miroku breathed in deeply and said "Well I will just leave you two alone" he said as he turned to leave.

Sango bright red with anger "I've had enough of this!"

Just then Sango stepped in front of Miroku grabbed his shirt and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Both Inuyasha and Miroku were shocked….especially Miroku.

Inuyasha stood there trying not to stare and was still blushing twiddling his thumbs.

Miroku was enjoying every second of this, he was in heaven. He couldn't begin to count how many times he had fantasied about this, and how he consequently used up all the Kleenex thinking about this very moment.

Subconsciously Miroku's hands wanted to grab her rear end, but Miroku thought that might warrant another smack in the head, so he restrained himself.

Sango pulled back from the kiss breathing heavily. The anger had quickly melted away "You're such an idiot, but I love you" she said out of breathe and smiled.

Miroku didn't know what to say, all he could do was open and close his mouth like a fish trying to gasp for air.

He managed to speak after a few moments. "Yo…you love me? After what I put you through? And What I Just accused you of?" Miroku said with wide eyes.

Inuyasha cleared his throat, not being able to put up with anymore of this. "I'll leave you two alone" He said as he walked away in confusion.

After they watched Inuyasha leave Sango turned to Miroku "Of course I love you, I have been in love with you since we were children. I was even jealous of all the girls you asked to marry you and bear your children. You've asked everyone but me!" Sango said sadly looking down at her feet which she now realized she only had one shoe on.

Miroku was dumfounded and again had that look of a dying fish.

"I had no idea….if I had of known I…" Miroku was interrupted by Sango putting a finger to his lips.

"Stop talking" Sango said with a raised eyebrow.

"I've been waiting for you Miroku" Sango said seductively.

Miroku gulped.

Sango pushed him on her bed and crawled on top of him "I'm sick of talking" she said as she ripped open Miroku's shirt and dragged her finger nails down his chest.

Sango leaned forward into Miroku's ear. "I…want….you….insi"

"Miroku! Miroku!" Sango said yelling and shaking Miroku's body with her hands.

Miroku snapped out of it. "What? What's wrong?" Miroku said looking around in a daze.

Sango put a hand to Miroku's forehead. "Are you alright? You seem a bit warm."

Miroku a bit clearer headed now "Wh...What happened?"

Sango looked concerned. "You fainted"

"Fainted?" Miroku realized he was on the floor of Sango's bedroom.

"I must've been exhausted from not sleeping all day" Miroku said rubbing his head.

Miroku continued. "And when you kissed me, I felt my head swim"

He stopped and thought for a moment "Wait that did happen right?" Miroku grabbed Sango's shoulders.

She laughed and touched his cheek. "Yes that really happened." She smiled at him.

He sighed. "What was the last thing I Said?"

She thought for a moment. "You were saying 'had I have known, I would've' ….and then you passed out."

Sango helped Miroku up. "I think before we talk anymore, you should get some rest. We can talk tomorrow".

He stood up feeling a bit woozy. He nodded and decided to go get some sleep. Sango walked him back to his room and sat on his bed for a few moments, kissed his forehead and then left.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Hope you liked this chapter. Was a bit of a filler, but I also needed to get Miroku and Sango together, so it worked out nicely. Expect to see Sesshoumaru within the next few chapters.
