Chapter 4 Miroku's Shot

Sango could only stare in shock. She was very confused to see him there instead of Mushi. He stood there in all his glory and Sango was speechless. She stood there with her mouth a gape blinking like crazy, trying to make him disappear with each blink she took. It never work if anything he became more clear.

Miroku smirked slightly. He only had one shot at this and he had to do it now. He watched as different expressions displayed before him on Sango's beautiful face. He took a step towards her to see her hesitantly take a small step back. Miroku frowned but he did of course expect this kind of reaction from her. That was the only reason he continued to follow her his steps firm.

Sango didn't want this it wasn't suppose to go this quick. It was suppose to be days until Miroku found out about the plan and what was going on with her. She couldn't believe he could catch on that fast.

They were both lost in their own thoughts to hear the whisperings in the bushes four yards away from them. "Shh, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered harshly. He just groaned lightly but in his head he couldn't be more happy with his situation with Kagome. If only it were for different reasons than spying on Miroku and Sango. This whole idea was Kagome's where as Inuyasha had different ideas on how to get to Miroku and Sango. Oh but no Kagome didn't want to hear Inuyasha's ideas. She wanted to do things her way. Inuyasha sighed heavily. "Inuyasha." Kagome said in a deathly cold voice that made Inuyasha shut up.

Kagome rolled her eyes and continued to listen to Sango and Miroku's conversation at hand. She shook her head when she saw that she had already missed out on practically half of their conversation. She wanted to hear what was going on but she couldn't get a better hearing range unless she wanted to be on top of Inuyasha. She pouted slightly at how lucky Inuyasha was to have ears of a dog.

Inuyasha noticed out of the corner of his eye Kagome pouting. He tilted his head to the side in confusion and when he did Kagome looked at his ears. His ears twitched slightly by the heat of her gaze. He was so nervous he almost wined...almost. He swallowed it and instead glared at her. "What the hell are you staring at wench?" He ground out trying to stay quiet.

Kagome instantly dropped her gaze to the ground totally forgetting about Miroku and Sango. She turned red as one thought went through her mind. She wanted to touch Inuyasha's ears so badly it made her hands hurt.

So as Kagome was fighting her own battle Sango was having a hard time with Miroku. "Miroku what the hell are you doing here? Where's Mushi at?" She was so confused and she stopped moving when she figured it was no use. Miroku was just going to follow her. So she stood there in front of Miroku instead and faced him head on. She decided she wasn't going to run and let everything repair on its own. No, she was going to dive in and fix this up. Maybe Miroku understands how it feels to have someone they love to go chasing after some other guy.

Wait. No Miroku doesn't love her. He's a pervert and he's a lech and I don't love him either. Even her own protests to herself were weak. Still she didn't actually know for sure if Miroku did love her like she did him. She sighed out of confusion.

Miroku took his time in answering Sango. When he did though he didn't answer her question. Instead he said, "Sango I know that you're worried." She glared at him. Miroku ignored it though. "That you're confused and that you've been wondering were I've been all the time most of the day." Miroku shook his head with a small smile on his face. "I'm sorry if you've been worried about me."

Sango was silent throughout Miroku's speech. She felt so hurt and so sad that Miroku couldn't trust her to tell her about where he'd been going. She just couldn't understand Miroku at all. He was so fustrating sometimes.

"Sango?" He whispered softly. Sango didn't know what to do. Should she give in so easily. She wanted to get back at him for leaving so much. For just popping in at times and leaving so often. If she gave in he'd probably just continue. She wanted him to stay with her she wanted him to be around more. Not to sneak around behind her and his friend's back. Of course she had no idea what he was doing but she had a good idea. She knew what she had to ask him.

"Miroku, where have you been going? Where have you been disappearing to?" Sango asked in an even voice. She wanted to know she didn't want anymore lies to be going around anymore. She wanted the old Miroku who would always be around to rile her up.

"I've been-" Miroku hesitated but when he saw that he couldn't get out of it he sighed. "I've been talking to some of the villagers. The ones who sale valuables." Miroku sighed again and blushed a light red. He scratched the back of his head. "I didn't want you to know because I wanted it to be a surprise. I wanted to do it at the right moment and I didn't think you'd question my leaving."

Sango blinked at Miroku as he reached into his pocket. When he started to get down on one knee was when she figured out what was going on. Her eyes widened and she took a step back. Sango had tears threatening to spill as Miroku held up a hand-made ring.

Just as Miroku was about to say something a shout came from some nearby bushes, "SAY YES SANGO!" Sango blinked in confusion as she looked over at the strange bushes. Did they just- "YES SAY YES" Sango put a hand to her face as she realized whos' voice that belonged to. Kagome came running out of the bushes jumping up and down nodding vigorously.

Miroku was confused too. He got up from his stance and looked at Kagome with mild interest. Kagome was doing a little victory dance in place shouting about weddings and children and etc. Sango was even more embarrassed when Inuyasha came out of the bushes. Oh no. She groaned, Inuyasha will never let them live this down she thought.

Inuyasha just shook his at Kagome's outburst. He didn't get what the whole deal was. Wow Miroku asked Sango to marry him. No big surprise there. He would've told them straight out that they were in love with each other and to just get there relationship with a move on. He would have told them right then and there that they had no time for this and that they had to get a move on soon. That was until Miroku interrupted his thoughts with, "I don't think right now is a good time though."

Kagome stopped her victory dance and looked at him like he were insane. "Miroku! You've been planning this behind your back for too long. I want to be apart of the wedding and I want to be the Godmother to Sango's kids! You will not keep me out of this, do you understand me Miroku?" Kagome fixed him with a steely glare that made even Inuyasha back away with fear.

Miroku quickly recovered and held his hands in defense. "I only meant, Kagome-sama, was that we get married, that is if Sango wants to, after we defeat Naraku and collect all the Shikon Jewels. That was all I was going to say."

Kagome felt relief go through her, Thank goodness. She nodded to Miroku. It was true they had to find the Shikon Jewel and defeat Naraku. She looked over at Sango who was struggling to say something. Kagome found that now was not the time to be bothering Miroku and Sango's moment. I mean the girl hasn't even said yes yet, she thought to herself. "Let's go Inuyasha. We have to go do that thing over at somewhere else." Inuyasha obviously didn't take the hint. Because he just looked at her like she done lost her mind.

Kagome groaned at Inuyasha's obliviousness. She gathered Inuyasha by draging him by the ear. While he cursed out loud about how women couldn't just stop touching and/or pulling his ears out. Kagome only then pulled harder making him whine and complain more until they were out of sight.

Sango could no say what she wanted to. "Miroku you know I'd love to get married to you but I have to find Kohaku and we need to defeat Naraku. To stop him from killing and harming someone else. I am sorry Miroku." Sango meant to leave but Miroku stopped her with an arm . He looked at her with determination.

"Sango I love you. I need you with me. I can't live without you. Sango if it's really because of Naraku that you don't want to get married it's fine. You heard me tell Kagome that I didn't think this was the right time. I wanted to ask you after Naraku's defeat and after the Shikon No Tama. I can wait Sango and I will if it means that you will marry me. Even if you don't I'll be waiting and I'll be here for you whenever you need me." Miroku wasn't going to let her go until he got an answer from her. One that he could go by. One that he could follow knowing where he stood with Sango. He waited patiently as Sango thought about what he just said.

Sango had to admit she was impressed by his persistence. She never thought that he would hold her down for an answer. She smiled at this and looked at him in the eyes. She stood close to Miroku close enough that their breaths mingled together. Miroku was surprised by her actions but didn't object. He did although hesitate to lean in towards her, afraid he might be going to fast.

Sango got tired of waiting for him to make the first move. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him to her. Miroku instantly captured her lips in a hasty kiss. It was sweet little kiss that made Sango weak in the knees it was a good thing Miroku had a good grip on her or she would have fallen.

They broke off the kiss for air. Miroku grinning like crazy, "So was that a yes or a no?" Sango just laughed at that. He knew what she meant when they kissed. Actually he knew exactly what she meant, that yes she would marry him. Only they had to finish what they started when they first met up with Inuyasha and Kagome. After that everything could go as they wanted.

Kagome left Inuyasha rubbing his ears worried about Miroku and Sango. Shippo was sleeping in her warm sleeping bag with Kirara. Kagome paced around in the small little hut they got. What the hell was taking them so long, she thought. Oh what if Sango's going through a nervous brake down. What if she DOESN'T want to get married. All kinds of thoughts went through Kagome's mind that she didn't even notice when to smiling human beings came through the front door.

"On no. Oh no. Oh no." Kagome mumbled under her breath. Still lost in her crazy thoughts as to what could have happened. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and yelled, "Hey wench quit your worrying they're just fine. Look for yourself they're right in front of you!"

Kagome looked up at the sound of Inuyasha's voice and quickly ran to her friend. "I thought something was wrong what happened? Is everything OK? What did you say? What did Miroku say?" Sango smiled warmly at her friend. Sango though didn't answer her friend's numerous questions instead she said,

"The plans for Miroku are terminated. We don't need them anymore. I got what I wanted and Miroku got what was coming to him." With that said Sango turned in for a good nights sleep. They'd be heading out of the village and a step closer to getting Naraku. She smiled in her sleep. For once she couldn't wait for the dangers to start again. Because she knew she wasn't alone she had her friends and she had Miroku.

Woohoo! I have finished. I do think though that I hurried the ending. *sigh* Oh well. I got it finished and that's what counts. I was thinking about doing a new story but I don't know for sure what it should be about. I think I'll wait after a while to post up something new so I can get some reviews about this story.
