A/N: Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are human, but still have white hair because I'm in love with it. ; )
"No, realy! He gave me his number." Sango went to her purse at the foot of her friend's couch and pulled out his card. "See?" Her friends leaned over her shoulder and read it.
"Oh my God! Sango! You got his number!" Ayame screamed.
"I know!" Sango beamed at them.
"How did you get it?" Kagome asked and took a second look at the card.
"Well, I kinda just ran into him. You know the road Mr.Shimes always has his hotdog cart on? Yeah, he was getting one when I met him." Sango hoped her friends wouldn't pry too deep and catch her. She prefered to keep it fun, the way she pretended it happened.
"You finaly found one," Rin said, a little jealous but honestly happy for her friend. "Congrats."
"Thanks," she said and smiled sympathetically.
"So is he going to call you or are you gonna call him?" Ayame said and took the card from Kagome. They were passing it around like they needed to check the authenticity of it.
"I sent him something actually," Sango said. She'd sent it two days ago, the day after she hit him.
"Realy?!" Ayame gushed and passed the card to Rin. "What was it? Cologne(sp?)? Flowers?" She walked to her room quickly and came back with a bottle of pink nail polish before setting up at Kagome's feet.
"No, I sent him a Beta Fish." They all stopped and looked at her in disbelief.
"A what?" Kagome asked jerked her foot away from Ayame while she was in a daze. She didn't want her entire foot the hot pink color.
"A fish," Sango repeated and put the card back in her bag. "I wanted to give him something he couldn't just throw away."
"He could flush it," Ayame said after the shock wore off. She blew on Kagome's foot to dry the polish and Kagome laughed and jerked her foot away.
"Ticklish," she said and glared at Ayame.
"Sorry, sorry, forgot," she murmered and started on her other foot.
"I don't think he'd flush it. He was realy nice and thoughtful."
"He'll probably give it to his secretary and tell her to take care of it," Rin said. "Guys don't care about pets." Sango's face fell a little.
"But if he realy is nice, he'll probably try to keep it alive," Kagome said. "And Beta Fishes are realy hard to kill. My brother had one and I hated the thing when we were younger. I tried to kill that thing for a year when he finaly killed it when he dropped the vase and the glass got it." Everyone was looking at her with their eyes wide. "I was nine!" she said defensively and shook her foot in Ayame's face to get her attention.
"Moving on," Rin said and pulled out a magazine, "I was saving this for something special." There was a communal groan and Kagome slapped her forhead.
"Not another quiz," Ayame whined and flopped back onto the floor.
"No, this one's good! It's good, I promise," she was saying as she flipped through the pages. "Okay, How To Know if The Guy You Just Met Is Datable or Detestable." She looked up and smiled as she made eye contact with Sango. Sango knew she'd found that quizz and was saving it just for her. She groaned and leaned back into the couch, awaiting the worst. "Question 1: Was what he was wearing second hand? A)yes B)no or C)unsure."
"No," Sango answered immediately.
"Kay," Rin said and marked it with a pen. "Question 2: Did he smile and if he did, did he have all his teeth?" Ayame burst out laughing and Kagome yanked her foot away again to save it.
"Where did you get that?" she weezed out between breaths. "Rednecks R Us?"
"Yes," Sango answered above Ayame.
"Question 3: Was he driving his own car? A)yes B)no C)he wasn't driving or D)unsure."
"A," she said quickly and hoped the conversation would move on.
"Question 4: Is he employed? A)yes B)no or C)unsure."
"A."
"Question 5: What was he doing when you met him? A)working B)going somewhere or C)anything halfway liesurely."
"C."
"Question 6: Did you exchange numbers within the first twenty minutes? A)yes B)no or C)we didn't exchange numbers."
"A."
"How many more of these are there?" Kagome asked while admiring her toes.
"Thirty-four," Rin said undaunted.
"Oh no, uh-uh," Ayame said and went to the kitchen. "Ain't no way we're doing that for the next hour," they heard from the kitchen. Ayame returned with a gallon of fudge ripple ice cream and four spoons. "I got better plans."
"I second that," Kagome said and grabbed a spoon.
"I vote for it," Sango said and grabbed another. Rin sighed dramatically and grabbed the last one.
"I guess I'm over ruled," she said and popped in one of their favorite movies, Ever After. "Motion passed," she said and flopped back down settling in for the remainder of their girls' night.
oxoxoxo
"What do you want?" Miroku asked Inuyasha, the younger brother of his mentor and his best friend. Inuyasha looked like he was barely holding something in when the intercom buzzed. "Yes Mrs.Holten?" he adressed his secretary.
"I have a fish for you, sir." Inuyasha burst out laughing while Miroku looked stunned.
"Come again?" he said and got the same result. He glared at Inuyasha who was hunched in a chair trying to control his breathing. "Can you tell me who it's from?"
"A Sango Mitai, sir."
"Sango Mi... Oh, that girl from yesterday," he said and reached into his wallet. He was right, that was the girl from yesterday. Why would she send him a fish? "Um, I guess just bring it in," he said and threw a stress ball at Inuyasha.
"Here you go, sir. It's a very pretty Beta," the fourty-something woman said as she fixed her horn-rimmed glasses and shut the door behind her. Inuyasha sighed and grabbed the card.
"Now that the jokes over, who's Sango?"
"The woman that hit my car yesterday," he said and took the card back. "'I'm sorry about your car. I know this won't repent for it, but maybe he'll keep you company while they fix it,'" he read aloud. Inuyasha snorted.
"Where were you again? Some mental hospital?"
"Jersey, I told you. And don't be mean, Inuyasha. She seemed like a nice enough girl," he said and put the fish in the window.
"Wait, you're gonna keep that thing?" Inuyasha asked increadulous.
"Yes. So?"
"So flush it. What do you need with a fish?"
"Like the beautiful young lady said, maybe it'll keep me company." He made a mental note to drop by some store on his way home to get food for it. He smiled at the thoughfulness of the girl. It took some imagination to give a fish as a gift.
"Wipe that look off your face, it's making me sick." Inuyasha wrinkled his nose at the slimy creature. "You can't have her, she's out of the question. What did Sesshomaru do all that work training you for if you're just gonna go slumming and fall back into Jersey?" Miroku glared at him.
"Dating someone from Jersey doesn't mean I'm slumming. And I know I can't have her, I suppose it's just a daydream of if I could. Besides, why would I need to?" he asked and crossed his arms as he turned to look out the window. "I have Kikyou." Miroku smiled smugly where the grating Inuyasha couldn't see. The one thing Inuyasha envied Miroku for was the famous super model Kikyou. "For now anyway, I'm getting a bit tired of her. It gets a little tiresome with only one girl to occupy me for so long."
"So long? You only started dating three weeks ago!" Inuyasha fumed and stood. "I gotta go. Meeting," he lied and rushed out before he broke his best friend's face. Miroku turned back to the fish and smiled again at the thought of Sango.
"It seems she was right. I am in need of company now."
