AU: Five years, five years as an assembly line worker, making candy hearts that everyone always threw away the day after Valentine's Day. And all of them had worthless sayings on them. Just once, Sango wished that there was a message that actually was worth reading.

Yeah, I haven't updated Technical Problems in a super uber long time. I seem to have had a mental mudslide when it comes to that. So as of right now, Technical Problems is on Hiatus. I also seem to be neglecting my AIM buddies...(Sorry Niklas! Sorry Jill!) so the last thing I need is another story right? Wrong. So terribly terribly wrong! Besides, it wouldn't leave my head.

So anyway, you all know those little candy hearts you get every year every Valentine's day. I don't know about you, but I never eat them. I thought about what I should name this, and I looked into my drawer of old Valentine's day candies. Lo and behold, I saw an unopened box of candy hearts. I looked at them all, reading the messages, trying to find a title that wasn't crap. "Yes dear" Eh? No. "Fax me" Ha, no. "UR a 10" What the hell kind of defective box of candy is this? But finally I found the right one.

I Heart You

Hearts. Lots and lots of sugary hearts. Working around these hearts all day, you would probably think that Sango wouldn't be as bitter as she is.

Nope.

Popping a candy in her mouth she grimaced at the taste. They always looked good but tasted like chalk.

"NO EATING THE HEARTS!"

She grimaced as her boss, Inuyasha, shouted at her.

She nodded half heartedly. She then pulled the lever that inprinted the words on the hearts. She watched as the hearts cascaded on to the conveyer belt. She sighed and pulled the lever again, which changed the the stamps and imprinted a different message.

"Chear up, Sango! Tomorrow is Valentines Day!" Sango's co-worker, Kagome said. Kagome packaged the hearts into their little red boxes with the clear heart in the middle so that everyone could see that there was actual candy inside. Kagome made sure that the hearts were faced so that the message was away from the little clear "window". That way people wouldn't see how stupid the messages were.

"Don't remind me." Sango muttered. Valentines Day was her least favorite holiday.

"At least we get a bonus!" Kagome smiled.

She was always the optimist.

"But after that we have to find new jobs until next Feburary. No one will even look at the candy hearts after Valentines Day."

Kagome was being put off my Sango's bad mood. She decided that she didn't want to talk about tomorrow anymore and went back to her work.

Sango didn't notice. She was to busy reading the hearts.

'UR cool.' one read.

'What kind of saying is that? Next thing you know a heart is going to say "Nice Pants"'

Next thing you knew a heart came down the conveyer belt that said "Nice Pants."

Sango gave up.
