Ch. 4: Dates Part 1

 

*Ding, dong* Nobody answers, so Sango rings Kagome's doorbell again. *Di--* Souta opens the door, takes one look at Sango and yells "KAGOME!" up the stairs.

 

"Hello to you too, Souta," Sango mumbles to herself.

 

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Kagome yells at Souta after he calls her name again. "Who the hell is so—" Kagome freezes as she sees Sango in the doorway, hands on her hips. By the looks of her stance, I think I should be running away. Kagome turns around and heads back upstairs.

 

"KAGOME! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Sango screams, running after Kagome and nearly knocking over her mom. I just cannot WAIT to get my hands on her! A door closes ahead of Sango. Kagome's door. Damn!

 

Sango runs to the door and starts beating on it with her fists. "KAGOME! KAGOME! YOU DIDN'T MENTION THAT MIROKU MIGHT WANT SOMETHING IN RETURN!" As soon as Sango finishes screaming, she also slumps against the wall and slides slowly to the ground. What have I gotten into? She was on the verge of tears. I really love him, but one whole day doing nothing but what he wants? Who knows what his lecherous mind will come up with?

 

"Sango?" Kagome calls from the other side of the door. Sango could tell she had actually scared her friend.

 

"Kagome, I'm sorry. It's just Miroku..." Sango trailed off, not wanting to admit what had happened.

 

Kagome slowly opened the door and went and sat next to Sango. What could Miroku have done to make Sango so weak as to collapse like this? Now Kagome was actually pissed. Miroku! she mentally screamed. She grabbed Sango by the shoulders. "WHAT DID MIROKU DO?!" she yelled. Sango looked frightened. "Sorry, but what's making you act like this?"

 

"The only way to get the information," Sango looked away and mumbled, "is for me to—"

 

"What?" Kagome leaned closer.

 

"I have to spend an entire day with him."

 

Kagome's jaw dropped, eyes huge. "He did WHAT? Just one day with him ain't all that bad. There's got to be something else to make you act like this, so what is it?"

 

Sango sighed. She had tried to avoid telling her this part. "Not only do I have to spend an entire day with him, but I have to do everything he wants."

 

Kagome was fuming, and Sango would have bet money that she saw fire behind her best friend. She scooted away a bit. "Kagome? Now that I've talked about it and thought for a while, I think I'll be fine."

 

Kagome calmed a bit, acting like a protective mother again. "Are you sure? I can bail you out if you need me to!" Kagome told Sango truthfully.

 

"Really, its ok." Now that I think about him, my heart beats fast and I'm really anxious.

 

Once Kagome had calmed, she realized that there was something hidden deep behind Sango's eyes...something...eager. She couldn't help but smile back.

 

Sango slowly stood up, wanting to have some time to herself. "Thanks, Kagome. I think I'm gonna go check my phone now, though. Knowing Miroku, he's gonna use tomorrow for our day together."

 

Kagome hugged her. "I owe you one."

 

"Hell yeah," Sango replied seriously.

(Kagome is staying at the family shrine right now, so Sango is going to her and Kagome's apartment)

 

----------

 

I hope I was wrong about Miroku. I'm too tired to deal with him tonight. She unlocked the door and walked into her and Kagome's home. Without looking over at her answering machine, she collapsed on the couch. As soon as she got comfortable, she noticed the phone. Damn. There was a message on the machine. Should I? If I do, I'll have absolutely no excuses to get out of tomorrow.

 

Sango listened to the message.

 

"There are two new messages," the machine said. Who's the other person? Sango wondered. She had automatically assumed one was from Miroku.

 

Turns out the first was Inuyasha, looking for Kagome. Apparently he had lost her number. "Idiot," Sango muttered, writing herself a note telling her to call Inuyasha.

 

Then came Miroku's message. "Hey Sango! I've been thinking about our deal, and I've decided. I'll pick you up around nine-ish, if that's ok, and we'll go out to breakfast. After that, I was hoping to see a movie and then we could take a walk through the park and garden. OH, and also wear something nice, please. I didn't say something skimpy, though I wanted to, I only said nice. I'll see you at nine. Bye, dear Sango!"

 

Was that Miroku being nice? Sango wondered. It was kinda...sweet. She was shocked. She liked it. A LOT. "Awwww!" Sango was truly touched. She was so happy, she actually went looking for something she thought Miroku would like that wasn't too revealing.

 

----------

 

*BEEP, BEEP* Sango jolted awake. It was just my alarm clock, she sighed mentally. At least I don't have anything...to...do.... "SHIT!" She say bolt upright. Today was her day with Miroku. "I've gotta—" She was cut off by a doorbell. "NOOOOO!"

 

"Sango?" Miroku cried, worried after he heard her scream like that. "Are you ok?! Is someone in there with you?! ARE YOU OK?! ANSWER ME!" Miroku began hammering on the door.

 

"MIROKU QUIT THAT! I'M FINE!" Sango yelled, changing into the outfit she had set out last night. He kept banging. "I said QUIT! I'm changing into something nice, just like you told me to," Sango called to the still closed door.

 

Miroku smirked. "Then you definitely need to let me in! Besides, you've gotta do what I say, remember, or you don't get the info you wa—" Sango had opened the door, and Miroku stared, wide eyed. He had never seen her like this. Even when they slept together, she was always at his back, so he rarely saw so much of her. Not counting the times he had spied on her and Kagome bathing. Right now, though, she was wearing a sports bra and a pair of his boxers.

 

Sango looked over her shoulder at him. "Get your jaw off the floor and your mind out of the gutter." She turned her back on him and walked away to finish getting dressed and ready.

 

"Sango, you look amazing!" Miroku blurted out, finally.

 

She poked her head out of the bathroom, glaring daggers at him.

 

He stuttered. "Th-that is n-not what I m-m-meant! I meant I was shocked to see so much of you! You always hide yourself from me, but now I don't know why! You're slim, fit, toned. Why so shy?" Miroku was truly interested. Sango thought he was just being lecherous.

 

Sango poked her head out again. "Do I have to answer that? If you would just wait a moment, I'll finish and we can leave." She disappeared for a minute or two, and came back stunning, even though she looked a bit Kagome-ish. She had on a mid-thigh length black skirt with some nice black, flat shoes. And to top it all off, she wore a midnight blue tube-top. "How do I look?" Sango asked, turning around to let Miroku get a full view.

 

"I-I, I, I..." Miroku stumbled over the words.

 

Sango looked down. "That bad?" she asked in a tiny voice.

 

"NO!" Miroku shouted. Sango jumped a bit. "Sorry," he blushed. "What I meant was that... you look... gorgeous." He walked over to her and lifted her chin. He kissed her gently, trying to make sure she was still comfortable. He would never force himself on his Sango. Never. They stayed that way for a while, Miroku's hands on her back and staying there. Finally, they broke apart. "We need to leave, or else we'll miss our breakfast reservations."

 

He made reservations? Sango thought. "You made reservations?" she asked.

 

"Like I've said before, anything for you. Dear Sango." She blushed.

 

He looked into her eyes and held out a hand, which she took. Together, they walked out to Miroku's corvette, which he had cleaned just for today. He walked her around and opened the door for her, just like a regular gentleman.

 

"Thanks," Sango mumbled. He closed the door behind her and rushed around to his side, giving Sango just enough time to admire how clean the inside was. I can actually see the floor. She was astonished. Normally there was garbage and car magazines with half naked women all over the floor. Miroku opened the door, snapping her back to reality. He started the car and pulled out. Sneakily, he admired her out of the corner of his eye. "So," he started. "You never answered my question." He smirked. If Sango was avoiding it this much, it had to be good.

 

"Oh, yeah." Sango looked away, a light pink blush staining her cheeks. "It's because of my scar."

 

Miroku swerved the car, earning honks and curses from drivers around him. "S-scar?"

 

"I'll show you." Sango scooted up in her seat and pulled her hair over her shoulder and he saw it. It was very jagged, and it started just behind her right ear. He couldn't see the end, so he asked.

 

"If you don't mind me asking, where does it end?" he tried to ask politely. He accidentally swerved again, earning some more curses. He stuck his head out the window. "FUCK YOU!" he yelled. Sango just stared at him, surprised that he had lost his cool so easily.

 

"It ends a bit above my left hip." She chuckled. "It was really hard to find a tube-top that would cover it that I thought you would like." She turned a deeper shade of red, so she turned to look out the window to hide it from Miroku.

 

A thought hit him. "Is that why you rarely put your hair up?" She nodded. "How'd you get it? Unless you don't want to talk about it! I don't mind!" She laughed a bit.

 

"I got it when I was pushed out of a tree. I thought I had seen a hawk perched near the top of the tree, so I started to climb. It turned out to be a demon trick, and a demon popped out of a hole in the trunk to push me off. I fell a bit, but was slowed down when I was cut with a branch. I was pretty young, so I started crying and Mom heard me. She took me to the village healer, but she just couldn't get rid of the scar. That is where the scar from."

 

Miroku leaned over and touched her arm, startling her out of her memories. "I'm sorry. I'm going to take a wild guess and ask if that was one reason that you wanted to become a demon slayer."

 

"You would be correct."

 

"Well, the good news is that we are here!"

 

A guy called from outside the car. "HEY MIROKU! OVER HERE!"

 

Sango recognized that voice. "INUYASHA?!"

 

"Hey Sango!" called a girl standing next to Inuyasha.

 

"KAGOME?!"
