Prompt: Precious treasure

A second date was in full swing.

Sango had been forced to take a break by her big brother Ichiro- who was really just annoyed that she kept pacing in her room, which was directly over his. He had explained his exasperation to Shippo, who had then got a particular gleam in his eye. It was a spark which his family knew well, and tended to avoid, but in this case Ichiro saw it as a blessing.

When he approached her, Rin was up for the challenge that he posed her. She was to get Sango to the aquarium by noon, and he would do the rest. It was easier said than done, seeing as there was a big assignment coming up on her calendar, and Sango had barely slowed down enough to eat. Still, you don't live for hundreds of years and not pick up a few things.

By noon, a mildly irritated Sango was standing at the entrance to the aquarium, waiting for someone who she didn't know wasn't coming.

Miroku was out of breath when he popped out from around the corner. He had obviously been running for a while- there was a slight flush to his face. Both man and woman looked surprised when they were finally face to face.

"They set us up," Sango exclaimed, automatically realizing that they had been had. Miroku chuckled, leaning against a pole.

"It seems that is the case," he nodded. "Who were you expecting to see?"

Sango shrugged, "my friend Sota. And who was it that you were meant to meet?"

"No one." Miroku's grin was sheepish. "Shippo just called me an hour ago and told me to get down here as fast as possible. By the time he called, I had missed the train." Sango laughed.

"You came running, not even knowing what to expect?"

"It's not like I was doing anything anyways."

SO, that was how it had happened. They had wandered through and looked at all of the fish, and slowly, but surely, they had just stopped walking all together. This led them to stand In a fairly secluded hall of the least popular tank of the aquarium. They had also begun to ask each other questions. 'The question game' is what Miroku had called it.

They had started with the easy things. What is your favorite colour? How old were you when you first fell in love? What kind of movies do you like? Then they had progressed into deeper questions.

"What would you say is the most precious thing in your life?" Miroku asked from his seat on the floor. Sango hummed a little, leaning back against the glass.

"I would say my family. They are always there, looking out for me and supporting me. Mother, Father, InuYasha… They all care for me like I belong with them." The last sentence wasn't lost on Miroku, but he let it slide as Sango stared thoughtfully down at her hands. "How about you?"

"Hmm?"

Sango looked at him, "What is your most precious treasure?" Miroku smiled and then looked into the tank.

"I guess I'll let you know when I find it."
