A Lady Knight's Tale 2

The former undercover knight blushed as Kagome's ladies-in-waiting arranged her hair. It was her wedding day. She glanced at her gown, made of very ornate silk, crinoline and tulle. It had beads of tiny light peach corals at the edges and flounces. Sango had thought it was very, very pretty. Kagome had helped her pick it out, after Miroku had proposed to her for the second time.

Miroku...

"Sango!" Kagome burst in the room, rather out of breath. Kagome was her Maid of Honor, quite obviously. The girls fixing Sango's hair looked quite startled at the other girl's arrival. "Leave us for a moment please?" Kagome said. They immediately curtsied and left.

"Sango...or should I say 'Lady' Sango" Kagome began Sango looked at her quizzically. What was this about? "Inuyasha and I found out about your parents!" Kagome said excitedly. Then she proceeded to tell a very surprised Sango about her parents, how as children, they were kidnapped and never found. "You actually have an inheritance and a castle to boot!" she said grinning.

"Well..." Sango looked out the window with the morning sunshine pouring in, "I know." she smiled "Miroku met them, you know?" she told a rather mystified Kagome. Kagome looked at her and the two of them started giggling insanely.

"Lady Saango!" the page Shippo had been looking for the errant knight for nearly the whole day. It was almost dusk and she just had to start preparing for her wedding that evening! Boy would he get into trouble if he didn't find her!

"Love..if I defeat you, what will I get as a reward?" Miroku drawled as he drew his practice sword. He was roguishly handsome today, and his purple-blue eyes sparkled with mischief.

Sango said nothing as she cocked her head on one side and moved back slightly. The two of them had slipped out of the castle without anyone noticing. They usually practiced here, near the falls at the back of the fortress walls but it was well-hidden and no one would find them here.

"Hmm..." The lady knight had drawn her sword as well and was poised to strike.

Miroku had taken the offensive and had begun with lightning quick strikes, with Sango parrying as best as she could. Block, block. Then she spun around with three quick somersaults, before Miroku knew it she had a hit get in. Sango grinned.

A few more rounds and it was more or less quits. They were so evenly matched. Like they were meant for each other. They collapsed on the ground panting with exertion.

"Sango." Miroku said huskily. Sango looked with alarm at her companion. "Miroku..?"

Before she knew it he had covered her mouth with hers. His..lips were so soft, kissing her with such passion that Sango forgot how to think. The dark-haired young man had one hand on the angle of her jaw and the other on the small of her back, sending tingles of excitement up and down her spine. Sango kissed back just as ferociously, her arms draped over his strong shoulders.

Gently, Miroku broke the kiss and Sango gave a little moan of protest as she buried her face in his neck.

"I want to stay with you longer." she said, almost growling like Inuyasha.

Miroku sat up with Sango still attached to him. "We have company." He said a-matter-of-factly. "Underage company at that."

"Hm?" Sango frowned. "Who?"

"Ehehe--" Shippo suddenly stepped out from behind a few bushes and bowed. "Lady Kagome has been looking for you all day!"

"Why you...!" Sango blushed, justifiably horrified. Kissing like that in front of a kid!

"Now, Sango.." Miroku said soothingly. "We won't be late for our wedding, will we?"

Sango just glared at Captain Miroku. "I suppose you're right." she huffed.

Everyone turned around to look at the radiant bride Sango who was walking down the aisle, a seemingly permanent blush staining her cheeks.

Kagome looked tearfully happy, Inuyasha was trying to look like he couldn't care less but was failing miserably, Kohaku looked very proud of his lovely sister. The rest of the castle was there, from the king to the cook. Even Sesshomaru, Kikyo, Kouga and Kagura were present albeit they looked rather out of place. Also, difficult to ignore were numerous tearful women, aka. Women hopelessly in love with Miroku, who still managed to make it to the wedding.

The Cathedral was filled with fluttering peach rose petals, it was truly quite a sight to behold.

But, in the groom's opinion, nothing could beat the loveliness of his bride, Miroku's breath caught in his throat as he saw his Sango walking towards him a joyous smile on her face for him. Only him.
