Disclaimers: Hiya all you people! I had this chapter typed up, and then my computer froze just as I was about to save it. So, I had to retype it, which took a while. Kara's helping, again. Here's the chapter!



"Miroku! Give that back!" Sango yelled, trying desperately to get the magazine she was reading back from Miroku.

"No way!" Miroku yelled back. They were confined to Sango's room, so the chase wasn't really exciting.

(Me: Rooms aren't good for chases.) (Kara: Yea. She knows.) (Me: Hehehe. That I do.)

"Give it back, NOW!" Sango screamed, tackling Miroku to the ground and taking her magazine back. When Miroku got up, he banged his head on Sango's dresser, knocking the little Buddhist statue he had given her five years ago off it's spot and onto the floor.

"Owwwwwwww." Miroku complained, then looked at the statue. "You kept this?"

"Of course." Sango said, blushing. "It's special."

"Why is this statue so special?" Kagome asked, examining the little statue.

"Miroku gave me that statue for my eleventh birthday." Sango explained, still blushing.

(Me: I have a statue just like that on my dresser. My dresser's very cluttered, but that statue holds a special place in my heart, because my friend gave it to me when I moved.) (Kara: She does! It's at the very front of her dresser. I've seen it. It's really special to her.)

"Oh! That's so sweet!" Kagome cooed, giving the statue back to Sango, who put it back on her dresser.

"Yeah. I guess it is." Sango agreed.

"So that's why you kept it?" Miroku asked.

"That and one other reason." Sango replied.

"Which would be?" Miroku pried.

"I'll tell you later." Sango whispered to him.

"Ane-ue! Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome! Dinner's ready!" Kohaku called.

"We'll be there in a minute, Kohaku!" Sango called back.

The four teens headed out to dinner. Kagome and Inuyasha sat on one side of the table, and Sango and Miroku sat across from them.

"Tell me now?" Miroku asked.

"Hm?"

"Tell me why you kept the statue."

"Because it's the only thing I have from you. All your other gifts to me were edible."

'Oh. Right."

"Hey! It's Inuyasha!" Souta said, running up to his idol.

(Me: Hahahahaha.) (Kara: Riiiiiiiight.)

"Hey Souta." Inuyasha almost smiled.

"How are you doing, Kohaku?" Miroku asked Sango's brother, who was standing by his chair.

"Fine. And you, Miroku?" Kohaku replied.

"Fine." Miroku answered, turning to Sango. "He's so polite."

(Kara: So polite.) (Me: Miroku or Kohaku?) (Kara: Thinks Both.)

"Mm?" Sango replied.

"It's easy to see that you're siblings."

"Mm?"

"Sure, you're more short-tempered, and violent, and a bit of a tomboy, but you're also funny, caring, and fun to be around."

"Mm?"

"Can you say something besides 'mm'?" Miroku asked, a bit frustrated.

"Sure. Thank you for the compliment." Sango smiled.

"You have a pretty smile." Miroku complimented.

"Mm?"

"Yes. And it's not just your smile that's beautiful. You're beautiful."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

And they kissed. Completely ignoring Kagome and Inuyasha, who were talking about something, Kohaku and Souta, who were talking about the latest video games, and Mrs. Higurashi, who walked in, and quickly walked back out, so as not to interupt.

(Me: Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!) (Kara: Sweatdrops Can't you write a fanfic without adding romance?) (Me: Nope!) (Kara: Sweatdrops)

When the kiss ended, Sango was blushing heavily. "Ummmmmmmmmm."

"You're a good kisser." Miroku smirked.

"T-Thank you?" Sango said, blushing more.

"How sweet!" Kagome cooed from the other side of the table.

"Nice goin' Miroku." Inuyasha grinned.

"So, now. Is Miroku a good kisser?" Kagome asked, smirking.

"Um... Yes." Sango replied, her blush not fading in the slightest way.

"Those two." Sanako sighed from the doorway.

"Which pair?" Mr. Taijiya appeared behind Sanako.

"Sango and Miroku."

"Oh. It's high time they got together."

(Me & Kara: I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!)

"Oh?"

"Mm. Shall we enter?"

"Mm."

But, like all parents, they had the worst possible timing, and walked in on Sango and Miroku kissing. Mr. Taijiya was completely unfazed, and made his way to his chair. Sanako, was speachless, but sat down in her chair, not daring to open her mouth.

"Oh. Um, sorry." Miroku said, realizing that everyone was looking at him and Sango.

"Sorry everyone." Sango looked down.

"It's nothing! Not like you're the first couple ever to kiss in public!" Kagome quickly came to Sango's defense, making Sango blush more.

(Kara: Way to go, Kagome.) (Me: Hehehe)

"Yes. Kagome's right." Sanako agreed, snapping herself back into reality.

"I think it's gross." Souta said, pretending to gag.

"I'll bet when you're our age, you won't think so." Miroku smirked.

"Miroku!" Sango exclaimed, hitting her boyfriend on the head.

"You really are a pervert, Miroku." Inuyasha snorted, trying not to laugh.

"Now, Sango. Don't hit Miroku. He's right." Mr. Taijiya inerjected.

"I knew Sango was a man-beater, Kagome, but this is ridiculous." Inuyasha whispered to his girlfriend.

"I know." Kagome muttered back.

~*~

Dinner went rather well. Miroku didn't do or say anything perverted, so Sango didn't have to hit him. Inuyasha was polite, or polite to his standards (or lack thereof. Lolz).

"Good night, Miroku." Sango said. It was about 9:00, and Miroku was heading back to wherever he lived.

"Night, Sango." Miroku replied, kissing Sango on the cheek before taking his leave.

"Cute." Kagome walked up to Sango.

"Hm? Oh, hey Kagome."
