'Sango' Kohaku poked his sister
'hmm' Sango rolled over
'Sango' He shook her
'what do you want?' Sango groggily asked
'It's 6:30, breakfast is ready' Sango looked her her now 11 year old brother
'what day is it?'
'it's Wednesday' Kohaku went over to Sango's window and opened the blinds
'Kohaku, let me sleep for five more minuets'
'no, dad's giving you a ride to work. If you don't out of bed this instant I'll drag you out'
'I'm in my underwear, I wouldn't suggest it' Sango turned her back to her brother
'Sango, get up' Kohaku continued to stare at her
'I made your favourite' with just those words Sango shot up
'really?'
'really'
'I'll be down in half an hour, let me take a shower' Sango said, Kohaku left her room chuckling.
….
After her shower, Sango was down stairs, dressed in the same outfit as the day before.
'didn't you wear that yesterday? You still have clothes here, you could change into them' Kohaku said
'I can't, I have to look…..professional….' Sango wasn't sure that was the right word to use, but she used it anyway. Sango sat across from her father. Hiroshi was wearing his police uniform and was drinking his coffee, and was silent as he always was on this day.
'shoot!' Sango exclaimed. Kohaku and her father looked at her was a questioning look.
'I don't know what to wear'
' don't know what to wear for what?' Hiroshi asked, Sango looked at her father, who wasn't catching on. Kohaku on the other hand was.
'you have a date' Kohaku blurted, Sango blushed.
'what? with who?'
'look dad, you don't need to get worried. I'm 20 years old, I can take care of myself'
'I don't care if your 50. who is the guy?'
'his name is Miroku Houshi'
'I'm gonna get Kagome to look him up in the files'
'Don't get Kagome to look up anything! I'm not a child, I can look out for myself'
'you are a child! your so young. why could't you be a regular kid, and once getting out of high school take a year off, then decide what you want to do. Not as soon as your out of high school, go to a college and get a good paying job' \
'dad, I was 18 when I when took that course, not that young'
'yeah? and I wish I told you that you couldn't take that course' Hiroshi looked away as soon as Sango stood up. Sango walked up to Kohaku and ruffled his hair and left the house without another word.
…
Sango got to work a little early
'Sango? your here early' Vicky said as she sat down
'yeah, I stayed the night over at my old house and me and my dad got into another fight'
'About your life?'
'yeah'
'Hello Vicky, my sweetness and light' Ash walked in and stopped in his tracks to see Sango
'why are you here?' he asked
'I work here'
'really? I though you just stayed in here for the air-conditioning' Ash responded with sarcasm
'both of you shut up, your making my ears bleed by just listening to hear you two bitch at each other' Vicky snapped, yup this mood again. The day was like most, Fighting, talking, working, negotiations, yup a regular day.
'Sango, it's 5:00' Ash said, Sango looked up from her work
'where's Vicky?'
'she left 5 minuets ago'
'oh shit, I got to go' Sango quickly packed up her stuff and ran to the subway station. She waited for 10 minuets before the subway came.
…
at 135th street Sango got off and ran home. Sango bursted through the door.
'there you are! it's already 5:30, you have half an hour' Kagome stood at the front.
'I know, I know. Get me ready' Sango and Kagome ran up to Sango's room. Kagome took out a pair of dark skinny jeans, while Sango got a low, lacy, red corset shirt with black ties to put on. Kagome threw the pants to Sango. Sango quickly put the jeans on and the corset top. Kagome handed Sango a pair of red heels and they left Sango's hair down. They looked at the clock, 5:35. Sango sat down and Kagome put black eye makeup, and red lipstick on her. They looked at the clock 5:50
'ok I have to go get the subway' Sango was about to walk out
'…I can drive you' Kagome said
'and you didn't tell me this until now?'
'come on let's go'.
10 minuets later they got to the restaurant, what should of been a 18 minuet drive, but with Kagome's driving they were able to cut off 8 minuets
'6:00, thanks Kags, I'll see you later'
'Don't forget to use a condom!' Kagome yelled out of the window
'shut up!'
…..
Sango walked into the restaurant and saw Miroku. She walked to the table and sat down across from him.
'hello beautiful' Miroku smiled
'hey creep' Sango responded with
'ouch, I'm truly hurt by your words, I can't believe you would say something like that to me, even though I'm paying for your meal'
'fine, fine, sorry' Sango can't help but laugh, Miroku smiles at her
'your cute, you know that?' Miroku smiled, Sango stopped laughing
'why do you say stuff like I'm beautiful or cute?'
'because it's true….haven't you ever had someone call you beautiful'
'well yeah….but most of those guys were only trying to get me into bed with them'
'well I can see why'
'what did you just say?'
'nothing'
'you better of said nothing'
'so….where do you come from?' Miroku asked trying to make conversation
'no, nah-uh I don't do back stories with strangers'
'oh so what, you'll make me tell mine, but you won't tell me yours?'
'pretty much'
'ok fine then, you don't get mine'
'ok then, I guess we can have an awkward silent dinner for the night. then afterwards we'll say goodnight and say how we had a night night and not mean it, and we will never see each other again' Sango played the scenario in her head
'oh? who knows maybe you'll find yourself totally attracted to me and start stalking me' Miroku said
'maybe…but out of the two of us that seems more like you to do that'
'ohhh a smart mouth huh?'
'nah I'm pretty stupid' The two just looked at each other and started to laugh. Once they calmed down the waiter offered them wine
'oh thank you-' Miroku smiled at the waitress, who was blonde and french
'but I'm underage' Sango finished his sentence
'oh I'm sorry' the waitress said in a heavy french accent
'it's fine' Sango smiled. The waitress left.
'wait….how old are you?' Miroku asked, a bit scared
'I'm 20 years old' Sango laughed
'oh….I was a bit scared you were gonna say 18'
'oh? why? are you like a 30 year old?'
'no, I'm 25'
'what do you do?' Sango asked
'I'm a lawyer, I though you knew that?'
'oh right! wait so if your 25-'
'I went into university right after high school when I was 18. Then I got into law school when I was 22 and did three years in law school. So pretty much I'm a newbie'
'you did the same thing as me'
'huh?'
'right after I was done high school I took a course at one of the collages, my father was not happy about it'
'I thought you didn't do back stories' Miroku smiled, Sango had a look of realization on her face, but she relaxed it.
'I guess I do now' Sango smiled
The next 2 hours were the best Sango had ever spent with a man, they just sat in the restaurant talking about things, they paid the bill and even still they continued to sit in the restaurant. Sango's cell phone started to ring.
'Sorry, I won't answer it' Sango looked in her black purse
'no it may be important'
'thanks, just give me a second' Sango took her phone out, flipped it open and elongated the antenna
'hello?' she spoke
'Sango? it's Kohaku'
'is everything alright?'
'it's dad….' That's all Kohaku had to say
'I'll be there in half an hour, ok?'
'ok….'
'hey, it's alright. It's not your fault, he loves you, we both do. I'll see you in 30' Sango hung up her phone
'I'm sorry, I have to go' Sango apologized
'where is your car?' Miroku asked as they both got up
'I don't have one, I need to take the subway'
'I'll give you a ride'
'you have a car?' Sango asked
'yeah, that day you met me, I had lent my car to my friend'
'ok…you sure you can give me a ride?'
'yes, Sango it's alright'
'thank you' Sango said as they left the restaurant.
