*heads directly for the training area and starts beating the hell out of the training dummies, muttering obscenities all the while*

*comes back inside and drops onto the sofa, burying her face in her hands, taking deep breaths to calm herself*

*trying to ignore her shaking*

He'd be that shameless... with my friend? A friend who's taken, even...

*very quietly comes in the room, staying near the door**very softly, a lot of regret in his voice* Which is why I never said who.

[xx_sango_xx]

*glares at him*

All this time... I've never seen you hit on a married woman. You always backed off if you discovered that kind of bond existed. *angrily* What changed your mind?

*everyone else proof*

[x_kohaku_x]

*comes back from the den, about to go into the living room when he hears the fight starting**sighs*
*mutters* I think I'll just go downstairs or something....

[_miroku_]

*biting back the urge to say 'she started it'*
It just... happened. I know that doens't fix it, but I can not change what happened.

[xx_sango_xx]

Are you at least sorry, for gods' sake? I mean... *frustrated wail* What were you thinking? Oh, sure, fine, you were talking about two different things... but I know damn well what YOU were talking about! *looks at him with disgust* If you want to flirt meaninglessly with strangers, fine. I can't stop you. But to talk about ... that... with anyone is awful enough, but Ayame?! She's a friend of mine! *arches an eyebrow* As are Kouga and Ginta, I might add.

[_miroku_]

*snaps* Of course I'm sorry. I thought I made that one clear to you.

What was I thinking? Obviously I wasn't. When the conversation turns to that, I've always just gone with it.

*darkly* I realize they're your friends. Hence my reason for not saying who I spoke to.

[xx_sango_xx]

*crosses her arms and sits back on the couch, looking away*

*bitterly* That's right, you have... and nothing I do can stop you. *eyes reddening*

*harsh* I would think their friendship to you would have been reason enough to restrain yourself.

[_miroku_]

*balling his fists up out of frustration* Why do you think I resorted to an extreme measure? Do you think maybe I realize the effects of what happened?

*snaps* Then what was her excuse? *forgetting that Sango doesn't know about his and Ayame's conversation the other night*

OOC: The Ayame and Miroku only one in her post.

[xx_sango_xx]

*tears starting to fall* *angrily brushes them away* Gods, Miroku...

...Her excuse? What the hell does she need an excuse for? She was talking about puppets while your mind was everywhere else.

[_miroku_]

*realizing what he said**harsh* I suppsose if you really want to know, you might want to ask her about our little talk last night. *not caring how that sounds* I was trying to keep you and her from fighting because of me, so just let it be with her. Yes, I'm a heel and a cad, I know that. *coldly* I do realize just how much of one I am. *takes the dokko out from his robe* Why do you think I'm trying so hard now?!

[xx_sango_xx]

*startles* She was... she knew what...?

*weakening* I know... I know you are... I just... I don't know what to...

*turns away, trying not to let him see her cry*

I know this isn't true... but sometimes... I just don't feel like I matter very much...

[_miroku_]

She had some idea, yes. Although, at the time, she assumed it was wholly innocent.

*goes to her when she turns away**pulls her into his arms, even though he excepts her to push him away or slap him* You matter to me, Sango. More than my own life. I know I fail you... constantly... And why you have forgiven me before, I'll never know. But... gods, Sango... *weak, upset laugh* You mean more to me than I know how to express.

[xx_sango_xx]

*half-heartedly tries to pull away*

*gives up and leans heavily against him, tears streaming down her face*

*weakly* You bastard... making me love you like this... *burrows closer*

[_miroku_]

*wincing at being called a bastard^**tightens his hold on her* I can let you go if you wish. *not realizing he's shaking* I'd really rather not though

OOC: ^ - that carries much more weight with the Japanese (especially ones of that era) than it does with us Westerners. Just fyi so you understand his reaction

[xx_sango_xx]

*grips onto him, digging her nails into his back a little*

Don't you dare...

OOC: Duly noted. Arigatou. :)

[_miroku_]

*jumps a little from her nails*
*holds her just a bit tighter*
Never... Unless you tell me to, I'll never let you go.
*whispers* I can't ask you to forgive me... not now... just stay by me... I swore to you I'd change. I will.
