To Love, or Not to Love

Chapter 1

Temptations

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm clock was going off. Sango reached around to find it and turned it off. She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and then ran her fingers threw her long, black hair. She stood up and slipped on her robe and slippers.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Sango looked at the clock. "5:13! Who the hell comes to another person's house at 5:13 in the morning without telling them first!" she thought.

She walked to the door and looked threw the peep hole. "Great! Just what I need! Miroku at my door when I'm bearly wearing anything with a loose robe over it," she thought as she saw her perverted neighbor standing just outside the door looking as though he had just stepped out of the shower. He was wearing just a towel around his waist and his entire body was still dripping wet.

Sango opened the door and commented,"What could you possibly want at 5 o'clock in the morning? And may I ask where the hell your clothes went?"

"HEY! What kind of a greeting is that! Actually though, I was just wondering if you had a blow drier that I could borrow," said Miroku.

"So you couldn't get dressed before you came over?" Sango said not taking her eyes off the towel area.

"You sure seem interested in my towel," said Miroku, "Do you want a closer look? Because I'm sure I could arrange that for you."

Sango quickly shook her head and looked up to his face. Her own face was bright red as she said,"I uhh. . . just woke up so I'm still a little dazed and uhh. . . well I guess I just started staring, but not purposely in that area you know! Sorry. . ." she said.

"Oh, no harm done. Girls are always looking in that area!' said Miroku.

"Woah! WAY more info than I needed thank you! Anyways, I'll go get that blow drier. Be right back," she said.

She left and went to the bathroom to find it. When she came back, she saw Miroku looking threw her laundry holding her thong in one hand and her bra in the other.

"What are you doing!" she yelled as she grabbed them out of his hands.

"Oh nothing, just curious. By the way nice thong!" He said.

"Whatever you perv! Just take the blow drier and do me a favour? Stay the hell out of my laundry!" Sango said.

"Okay, but you know that your robe has been untied this entire time right? That see-through shirt and those undies sure do look hot on you though!" Miroku said.

Sango looked down and noticed that her robe had come untied and she quickly closed and tied it back up. "Get out now!" she screamed.

"Fine, fine! But remember, that offer of getting a better look at my towel still stands," said Miroku as he walked across the hall to his appartment.

Sango slammed the door and looked at the clock. "Oh shit! It's already 5:36! Now I don't have time to shower!" she thought.

She started going threw her closet to find something to wear. She threw something on and then brushed her teeth and hair and put on her make-up. By the time she was done, she had to run out the door and get to work.

Sango works as a cop late at night, but in the morning, she has a part time job as a waitress at Bernie's Truck Stop. She hates Bernie's because the truck drivers are always hitting on her. She can't quit though, because she needs the money. Miroku works as a full time lawyer and let's just say he's not all that rich because half his payment comes a little differently than normal (if you know what I mean). Anyways, he loves his job.

Now over to Miroku at 5:36, when he walked to his apartment. "Well, that went well," he said as he thought about what just happened," I mean, she was staring at my towel, I got to see her bras, thongs and some other clothes she had in that basket, and I got to see her in a revealing shirt and undies. Yep, that went pretty DAMN well!"

He dropped his towel and started drying himself. It took him about 10 minutes to finish his hair. When he finished, he got himself out an outfit and put it on. He didn't have to work that day, but he's an early riser so he always likes to get ready when he gets up. He knew exactly what he wanted to do that monday morning. He was going to go to Bernie's and torture Sango.

He actually liked Sango, thats no secret, he likes about every girl he ever meets, but Sango was different. She seemed special to Miroku. He couldn't quite figure out what it was about her that he liked so much but he knew she was special. He would never flat out tell her though because he was afraid of how she would react.

What he didn't know though was that she felt the same about him. She thought that he was just another pervert who only wanted her for her body so she never acted on her feelings. She was always daydreaming about him but she thought it would never happen, he was way too much of a lady's man. So they both went on with their lives just being friends.

Miroku got the rest of the way ready then he walked out the door. He went downstairs and headed toward his silver '63Corvette Stingray. He was going to see Sango at Bernie's.

He got there about 5 minutes later. When he walked in the door and Sango saw him she stopped and gave him a dirty look. "Welcome to Bernie's, how may I help you," she said with a certain tone.

"I'd like a table for one please," he said smiling.

"Right this way," she said then she wispered to him," If you give me ANY problems I swear I'm going to kick your ass later."

"Oh no need to worry, I'll give you no trouble now if you don't give me trouble tonight, if you know what I mean," he said and then he winked at her.

"I mean it," said Sango as she walked away.

As soon as she turned around Miroku's eyes followed so he could get a good look at her ass before he even set eyes on his menu. When she was finally out of vew, he turned back around and looked at his menu. Sango apparently was the only waitress working today, but that was fine because barely anyone ever came there anyways. Miroku wasn't done harassing her so he called out,"Waitress! Hurry it up and get over here!"

Sango rushed over there to shut him up because he was bothering other customers. "What do you want? Your disrupting the whole place! I told you not to give me any problems!"

"Is that any way to treat a paying customer? I demand respect or I'll tell your manager that you're being rude!" said Miroku.

"Alright I'm sorry. How may I help you?" said Sango.

"Oh I just wanted to know what you would recommend to eat," said Miroku.

"THAT"S IT? You called me over here for that!" she said.

"Uh-uh-uh! No yelling, you could get in trouble! I just want to know what you recommend for breakfast please," he said.

"Just get the french toast or something, I don't know! Now are you ready to order or are you going to let me work?" said Sango.

"Oh I'll just have a cup of coffee please, I'm not really hungry," said Miroku.

"You've GOT to be kidding me! Well whatever! I'll get right on that coffee," she said.

Miroku smiled with the pleasure of knowing that he had CLEARLY aggrivated her. As soon as she got back with his coffee, he drank it up quickly, paid, and was out of there. He was supposed to meet his friend, Inuyasha, at Hooters at 11:30 for lunch today and it was already 11:13. So now that he was pleased with himself he decided he better get there.

When he arrived, he saw Inuyasha sitting next to Kagome, whom he didn't know was going to be there as well. Inuyasha was always inviting her along everywhere, sometimes it even seems like they're on a date. Miroku walked in and sat down at their table.

"I invited Kagome along, I hope you don't mind," said Inuyasha.

"Oh, not a problem! The more the merrier, I always say!" said Miroku.

"Miroku, when have you EVER said that?" asked Inuyasha.

"Oh, I've said it plenty of times, but normally only when I have girls in my house," said Miroku.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and said,"So what have you been up to?"

"Just the usual. Eating, sleeping, working, bugging Sango, you know how it goes!" said Miroku.

"I see. Well, are we going to get some food? I'm starving!" said Inuyasha.

"So am I," said Kagome.

"Well, as soon as our damn waitress gets here!" said Miroku.
