Chapter 14

Kagome found herself sitting in Sango's bedroom. She had not seen her friend since she went on vacation and she had a whole lot to tell her.

"So how was it?"Sango said. "I got your message the other day...but I was on my way to work"she said as she brought some junk food into the room.

"It was really fun"Kagome said stretching out on the floor. "I wish it could have been a little longer though"she said with a sigh.

"You didn't do any boring stuff?..."Sango said looking at her friend.

"No...I made a promise...and I kept it"Kagome said laughing thinking Sango would have forgotten.

"So?"Sango said joining her Kagome on the floor.

"So what?"Kagome said looking at her friend.

"What happened to that guy you met?"She said watching Kagome's expression change.

"He's...gone...he moved away...his parents travel a lot and they didn't want him alone for a year."Kagome said sadly. "I tried really hard not to get attached to him...I did"Kagome said grabbing a bag of chips.

"Its ok to get attached to someone..."Sango said opening a bag of candy.

"But I knew that...I knew we couldn't be...he lived to far away...It was just a summer thing...I just want to forget it all"Kagome said squeezing a pillow. There was a moment of silence between them.

"What were you up to while I was gone?"kagome said changing the subject.

"Well...I worked...and worked some more...I got a date"she said with a grin.

"A date with who?"Kagome said sitting up alert again.

"You remember that guy Miroku?...yeah...he works in this coffee shop close to where I work"She said. "I go in there almost every day and get the same thing"she added. Kagome just watched Sango's face as she talked about Miroku.

"He has my order almost made for me when I walk in..."She said still smiling. Kagome couldn't help but be happy for her friend. She hadn't seen her smile like that in a long time.

"So when is your date?"Kagome said.

"This Saturday... I think I might even be excited.."Sango said realizing she had three days till then.

"Your gonna have an awesome time.."Kagome said. "No worries"she added patting Sango on the back. Finally after filling up on junk food Kagome and Sango fell asleep.

Inuyasha had decided to get a job where Miroku worked. It would give him something to do instead of being in the house by himself...not that he minded and since he was on his own a little extra cash wouldn't hurt either.

"So you invited Sango over to our place...before you go on the date?"Inuyasha asked while stocking some shelves. "Isn't that a little backwards?"he said questioning Miroku.

"Well I wanted you to have time to get to know her as well"He said to Inuyasha. "If she becomes my girlfriend...which I do plan on happening..."he said smiling to himself, "I would like your approval of her as well...you are my best friend."he said looking over at Inuyasha.

"This is true..."Inuyasha said laughing at the thought that Miroku wanted his approval of his girlfriend. It had been years since Inuyasha had done something like this. They use to do it all the time when they were in school together...But once Inuyasha moved out to the shore it became harder and harder to keep in touch with him. Leaving him to resort to a phone call here and there...But he also had not expected things to just carry on like he had never left. That was the one thing Inuyasha loved the most about Miroku. He was never got upset when his parents chose to move him away.

While Inuyasha was caught up in his thoughts he heard someone walk through the door and saw Miroku dart towards the counter. It had to have been Sango.

"Good morning Miroku..."she said standing at the counter.

"Morning my dear..."he said as he began to prepare her order for her.

"I was going to ask you something yesterday...but I had decided against it...so I'm going to today"he said with his back to her.

"Would you like to come over to my place for dinner tonight?"he said still facing the other way. He found it a lot easier to talk to her when he wasn't looking directly at her.

"...What about Saturday..."she said in response.

"Oh...Saturday...I still would like that to happen...but in addition..I would like to have you over my place for dinner...tomorrow night?"he said turning around to face her as hard as it may have been to do so.

Sango was once again unprepared to answer his question. She wanted to make a logical decision.

"...hmm...Ok"she said as Miroku waited anxiously for her answer.

"I would like to introduce you to someone I consider family..."he said. Inuyasha could hear him from the back room. His nerves must have been getting the best of him because his voice started to elevate.

Miroku handed Sango her order, gave her a sligh wink, waited for her to blush and watched her walk out of the door.

"Dude we are so going to have to work on your nerves"Inuyasha said as he appeared again from the back room

"Yes I agree...I may die of embarrassment if I don't learn to control them soon"Miroku said with a sigh.

"So what exactly am I susposed to do?..."Inuyasha said referring to the dinner situation.

"I want you to observe...just like when we were in school together...we always looked out for each other when it came to things like this...there is something about this girl...and I want to make sure it isn't me telling myself she is special"Miroku said looking at Inuyasha seriously.

"So you want me to confirm that your not crazy...and that she is the "one" "Inuyasha said with rather little effort.

"Yes...you know you have always been a little better with words than myself"He said laughing at how Inuyasha put Miroku's feelings into words with little effort.

After cleaning the counters Miroku felt like he needed to ask what happened to Inuyasha before his arival. It had been a couple of days and he figured it had been enough time for him to calm down about whatever it had been.

"So you never did tell me what happened to you"Miroku said trying to seem preoccupied with the dish cloth.

"What?"Inuyasha said

"Remember the day I called you...you were upset...you said it was a long story"Miroku said looking around. "Well...there aren't any customers...and I'm getting paid to listen"he said with a smile.

Inuyasha stopped what he was doing.

"There's not much to say actually..."he said as he sat on a stool. "But since you seem to be so interested..."Inuyasha said sitting down getting ready to spill.

Sorry had to do another cliff this time...but I won't next chapter...promise..
