Hey, thanks for the reviews & just like I was hoping, it's Monday & I have updated.
Diclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any character assiocated with the show.
"The Paper Moon Café"
I arrived at The Paper Moon Café at 9 p.m. on the dot, I wasn't sure if she would come or not but I didn't want to be late, just in case. I chose my regular spot, a nice little booth in the far corner, a place where we could talk and get to know each other better. The Paper Moon Café was owned by my good friend Hachi Fujiwara and was an excellent meeting place, most of the people that came here where either on their first date or a blind date.
I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Miroku"
"Hey Hachi"
"Please tell me that you're not waiting on Mayu, she scares me"
"No. She's pinching Koga's ass now"
"… on purpose? So are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, I am and I really like her"
"That's great Miroku. I hate to leave so soon but I gotta get back to the kitchen, the new guy almost burned me down this morning. I'll poke my head out the door every now and then so I can see her."
It seemed like I had been sitting there for hours, as I glanced around the room I saw couples everywhere and I was starting to feel really stupid sitting there twiddling my thumbs. I had told myself over and over that I wasn't going to watch the clock but I just had to glance at it. '10:00. Oh well, I told her I'd be here until 11:00 so I'm staying. I have to tell her how I feel.'
Hachi brought me something to drink around 10:15, it was just some water but I wasn't complaining. I was also starting to get really bored. As I sat there staring at the wall and swirling the straw around in the glass, I heard the click-clack of high heel shoes, but I paid them no attention, I had heard them too many times already and it was never Sango.
"Bored?" Came the very voice I had been waiting for.
"Sango, you came, I was starting to wonder"
"Yeah, I came" she said as she sat down "and I don't know why. I hope you realize what a big risk I'm taking by being here. If Naraku finds out, there will be Hell to pay… for me… and for you."
"If you're so worried about Naraku… why are you here?"
"Trust me I started not to come, but there's something I find interesting about you."
When I looked at Sango I saw a strong, beautiful woman who was ready to take on anything, but when I looked into her eyes I saw a scared little girl who was afraid of her future.
"Hi. I'm Hachi Fujiwara, long-time friend of Miroku's" Hachi said with an extended hand. "Sango Yamazaki" she replied with a handshake. "Miroku she's a lot better than all those girls that you bring around here. I'll bring you two specials on-the-house" 'I'm going to kill him, I really am.'
I looked over at Sango and smiled, I tried to laugh but nothing would come out, and she defiantly wasn't impressed.
"All those other girls?" she asked "What's the matter Miroku, can't decide on a woman by yourself, so you bring her here, so your friend can judge her?"
"Who Hachi? He was joking around, there haven't been that many girls."
The look on her face said it all; she didn't believe a word I was saying and neither did I. It was around 10:30 when Hachi brought us our meals, it was a late dinner, but I was use to that, I just hoped that she didn't mind.
"Sango I hope you didn't mind such a late dinner, I suppose I should have asked first"
"Don't worry about it, I'm use to it"
"Um… it's getting late and Hachi's about to close up and we still haven't gotten a chance to talk yet, and I was wondering… if… maybe… you want to go back to my apartment"
"Miroku I'll go, but if I find out that you're taking me back to your apartment to have sex, I'll kill you"
"I said talk, but if sex comes up, I'm not going to complain."
(smash)
'Whoever said high heels were murder on your feet were not joking, I think she almost broke my toe.'
My apartment complex wasn't far from the café so we walked. As we were walking down the sidewalk I noticed that a lot of men seemed to know Sango, but why wouldn't they, she was a stripper at the most popular club in town.
When we arrived at my apartment complex she finally looked impressed.
"This is where you live?" she asked "Yeah, this is it" I replied
"Let me guess. Penthouse apartment, right?"
"Right. How did you know?"
"Last night you had on Armani so it wasn't hard to figure out what kind of apartment you had"
As we entered my apartment I had one thing on my mind, unfortunately she had something completely different on hers.
"Care for a drink?" I asked "No thanks" she replied "I don't handle alcohol very well. You have a really nice apartment" "Thank you" I said as I sat down on the couch next to her, "but it gets lonely. One day I hope to have a beautiful wife to come home to and a bunch of children"
I was trying to hint around but I don't think she caught on.
"So Miroku. What is it that you do? Besides go out with a lot of women"
"I'm the owner and founder of Nakamura Software, it's a computer program company"
"Computers… I never really got into computers"
"Sango, there's something I've been wanting to tell you all night"
"What is it, Miroku?"
"You're probably going to think I'm weird but… I think I'm in love with you"
"You're what? I know you are not serious. Is this some cheap trick to get me in bed with you? Tell me something Miroku, what is it that you 'love' about me. Is it my… oh, how do you men say it… my healthy butt and my big boobs or is it the fact that I'm a stripper and you think I could give you a good one-night stand?"
"…"
"Because let me tell you something..."
'Think fast Miroku this is gonna get ugly'"...I am not…"
So I did the only thing I could think of, I put my hands on her face and kissed her. When I pulled away and looked into her eyes I could see the look of shock and then a more seductive look that included a smile.
"Why did you stop?' she asked
That was the only invitation I needed.
The Next Morning…
"Shit!" Sango screamed "What's wrong?" I asked
"I'm naked"
"That usually happens"
"I slept with you?"
"Oh come on Sango don't tell me it was so bad that you forgot"
"No, it wasn't bad, it was great"
"Then what's wrong?"
"I spent the night"
"That also usually happens"
"I have got to get out of here, Naraku's gonna kill me, bye Miroku"
I lay back down in my bed wishing that Sango were still beside me, but Naraku had managed to ruin it, even though he wasn't here.
As Sango entered her apartment Naraku was already sitting on her couch. "Where have you been?" he asked angrily "and you better not lie to me."
This chapter is a lot longer than the last one but it still ends in a good cliffhanger. Some people out there are probably thinking 'oh my gosh she's such a horrible person there was no bedroom scene.' Well don't worry as soon as I am done with this story I have another one in mind and itwill be rated 'M'
If you like it please review it :)
