....What's most important is what I have right now. Whatever the future holds, I... we can face it.

But it's still not fair...

[_miroku_]

Please Sango, tell me what is troubling you.

[xx_sango_xx]

*casts a glance at Miroku's right hand* That.

I just... I just wish my time with you wasn't so... finite. I know it could be years from now, but it's there. And, well - I worry.

[_miroku_]

*nods* I understand.

We will defeat Naraku. And when that happens, the Kazaana will vanish.

I worry about it too. Every minute of each day. But we will defeat him.

[xx_sango_xx]

I know we will. I just get so scared sometimes...

*shakes her head*

But you're right. We will defeat him.

[_miroku_]

*holds her tightly* Want to know something? There are times that I am afraid as well. Afraid that I will not defeat Naraku. But we will. I promise you.

[xx_sango_xx]

*nods, leaning against him* I know we will... I won't let him take you from me.

[_miroku_]

*tighens his hold on her without realizing it**thinking about his mother again*

[xx_sango_xx]

*just lets herself be held for a few moments* *gets the sense that something is up*

...Miroku?

[_miroku_]

*sighs* I suppose I am just worrying. Thinking about things that I have kept deep down.

[xx_sango_xx]

*hugs, rubbing his back a little* Anything you want to talk about?

[_miroku_]

*sighs and looks away* It just worries me. I heard the two of them fighting right before she left. I heard what she said. I worry that some day I will hear that from you.

[xx_sango_xx]

*bites her lip, not sure if she should press the issue*

...

...What did she say?

[_miroku_]

That he was nothing but a lecher and maybe it was a good thing he hadn't killed Naraku. *crosses his arms and looks at the sky* And that she regreted knowing him

[xx_sango_xx]

*eyes widen* Miroku... I didn't know...

I'm so sorry...

...And you think that I... *frowns*

Miroku. *rests her hand on his cheek* Look at me.

[_miroku_]

Not many do. *scoffs* I do no think Mushin even knows. And it is not that I think you would say that, Sango. But I worry about it.

*looks at her*

[xx_sango_xx]

Miroku... I told you that I will always be here with you, and I meant it. However much time we have left, we'll spend it together.

And there is nothing, nothing that could make me regret knowing you. *draws in a breath and smiles* You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
