     A strong hand covered her own, halting her petal-plucking.  Sango startled and looked up into Miroku's eyes.  "Houshi-sa-"

     "What is this game you're playing?"  He looked amused.

     She blushed.  "Something Kagome taught me.  Silly, ne?"  The flower slipped from her hand.

     "I don't think so."  He sat down-quite close to her-and picked up the fallen flower, picking off the last two petals with deliberate care.  "He loves you not…I love you…"

     Her breath quickened.

     Miroku placed the stem in her hand and smiled.  "There's your answer."
