Summary Miroku reflects on how they finally were married

As Miroku stood by the altar waiting patiently for his bride to appear he thought back on all the times he had waited for his wife. From the very beginning she had tarried.

Inuyasha could not understand why she needed ten days to recover from her wounds. To Miroku the fact that she had recovered at all was a miracle. It was then that he first came to notice the inner strength that she had.

She was contradiction. A  woman in a profession reserved for men. A tower of strength with feet of clay.  Flawless in her technique yet vulnerable to passion about the persons.  An emotional mess behind the mask of a killer.

Miroku loved all of the women who made up the person known as Sango. He just needed to be patient with her. He had learned hard lessons when he had not waited.

Each time he had lain near death she had come to his bedside to show how she felt about him Each time he had taken advantage of her tender nature by making advances of a sexual nature

She had made him suffer every time. Yet the next time he was hurt she would be by his beside as if nothing had happened only to have the events repeat themselves

It was almost as if they were in absurd form of dance. She would place herself within his reach as if tempting him. He was never one to resist temptation and obliged her wish to be touched.

Yet they hesitated in their dance. Each not willing to take the next step despite their feelings. Afraid if they said too much the masks which they maintained would fall and their true feelings would be revealed.

Occasionally Sango would slip. All it took was Miroku flirting or asking a woman to bear his child and her anger would flare.  The idea that he might even think of marrying another infuriated her.

Yet until he asked her to bear his child, she did not even speak of it.  He almost crushed her heart when she thought he was telling her that they were just friends.

It was not until he told that she was unique among women that she actually believed that she had a place in his heart. She was not sure of that place.  Even an old promise made her believe the worst of him.

It was only when he saved her that she truly believed his promise. Not the barely remembered dying together of which they could never speak.

What made them realize what they truly felt each other was brought out in their willingness to sacrifice their lives for each other. They were willing to sacrifice anything or anybody in order to save the other.

Although Miroku set a wedding date when they went into Naraku, they both tried to die for each other. It was only when they decided to live for each other that despair was lifted from their hearts.

They both had waited patiently for the other. Sacrificed for the other. Now that they were together, they knew that the wait was worth all the pain and agony they had suffered so that they could truly be with the one they loved.
