"Hello?" an apprehensive answer on the other side of the phone.
"Mi-Miroku…" Sango's uneasy voice floated to him. She ran her delicate hand through her dark hair.
"Sango!" his voice was positively beaming, it seemed. "I knew you'd be calling me soon. Is there something you wish to speak to me about?"
She blushed, silently thanking herself that she'd called him.
She made a squeak that he took to be a 'yes'.
"What is it? Something the matter?"
She shook her head and stupidly realized that he couldn't see her.
"No, I just… I was thinking that…" she took a deep, calming breath and tried again.
"I-I wanted to see you again."
He chuckled.
"Whatever do you mean Sango? If I remember correctly you're married."
"Kuranosuke is on another business trip," she sighed.
Miroku smirked confidently and held back a small chuckle.
"Ooh, is he now?"
Sango allowed herself a genuine scoff.
"Try not to be too upset," she smiled at her joke and bit her lip. His voice was inviting, a little too inviting.
"Oh, of course not!"Miroku laughed on the other line. "So… you say you wish to see me?"
"Yes," she stated firmly.
"Then far be it for me to disappoint you," came his swift reply. "I'll be there shortly."
"Uhh… Miroku, if you don't mind, can I come over there? I-I don't want to be in this house anymore. It's too big and empty."
He laughed and jingled his keys into the mouthpiece of the phone.
"Your wish is my command."
She sighed softly with a giddy smile. He always knew how to make her smile.
"I'll see you when you get here."
"Alright, my dear, I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Good-bye," she whispered.
"Just for now," he reminded.
"I know, I know," she laughed and ended the call with a click.
