CHAPTER FOUR: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

^_^

Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?

And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?

Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness…?

^_^

Sango giggled as Miroku appeared at her doorway with flowers and card in hand. She blushed and ushered him inside. "You remembered!" she exclaimed and threw her arms around his neck, squashing the flowers in the process.

"Of course I remembered! How could I possibly forget the first night we went out?" He tightened his hold around her before he presented the 'squashed' flowers. "Happy Anniversary!"

She smiled and placed the flowers in a vase and stood back to admire the bouquet. "Where did you get them from?"

"Oh, a florist down town. Do you like them?"

She nodded and smiled once more before turning to kiss him lightly. "Arigatou Miroku-sama…" he smiled tenderly and bent his head to capture her lips in a consummating kiss.

// DING DONG //

Miroku began to murmur something unintelligent while Sango felt her knees go weak. She distantly registered interference in what was left of her consciousness. A few moments past and she relaxed. Maybe whoever it was had–

// DING DONG //

She heard him groan in annoyance as he regretfully pulled away and could hear him panting a little. "You had better get that." She adjusted her clothing before she opened her door to a familiar looking hanyou with white hair.

"Inuyasha! Ogenki ne? Please come in!"

"Hey Sango." He brushed past the girl and nodded at Miroku who stood up to greet his friend. "Inu! I am glad you look better."

"Arigatou Miroku. I see I've disturbed your…uh… quality time." He noted the slightly flushed face on both people and smirked. "Gomen."

Sango widened her eyes a little at Inuyasha's behaviour. Had he gotten over Kagome? Was he going to forget her? Miroku too had noticed this and sat pulling Sango down with him. Inuyasha followed suit only opposite the couple and leaned back lazily, regarding them with a thoughtful look. "What is it Inu?" Miroku broke the silent communication between the two. Something was up.

"Oh it's nothing really," he countered with a yawn, "I just thought I might visit the bride and groom in waiting. You two must be very excited ne?"

He frowned at his friend's unusual happiness but continued with the conversation. He was going to get to the bottom of this. "Yes we are," he averted his eyes to his fiancée and smiled tenderly at her, which consequently evoked yet another blush from her. He chuckled softly and placed a kiss on her forehead and whispered, "later." Meanwhile he had watched Inuyasha at the corner of his eye, evoking any sort of response from their canoodling but seem to be oblivious to their gestures. He continued to watch the two with genuine happiness fleeting across his face and he knew then that there was no jealousy or any of the sorts. Something was definitely up.

"How are your inquiries with private investigations?" He decided to see what his friend's situation was with the girl. However, Inuyasha's response was not something he expected at all. Instead of the usual growl and flinch at the sound of her name, Inuyasha leaned forward with a small smile on his face. "That is exactly what I want to talk about."

So he had finally calmed down from the ordeal. At least he was getting somewhere he thought before he asked, "What is it that you want to talk about her?" he noted the hanyou was not looking at him but his fiancée with a calculative look across his face.

"I was hoping your fiancée would ask that herself." He glanced down at Sango and noted she had gone still at the statement. Was there something she knew that she was hiding from both of them?

She sighed. "If you're going to ask me about her whereabouts, you're out of luck."

"So you're telling me," his eyes were intent on the girl, "that you have not seen or heard from Kagome Higurashi since that night she disappeared?" Miroku winced a little at his authoritative tone. Trust Inu to practise his law techniques in public.

"Yes, I did not see her at all that night. Wasn't she with you?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and sighed. "Well if you want to go down to specifics, I was with her until a certain time, though technically it wasn't at night but in the –"

"Okay! I get your point!" He chuckled when she flashed an irritable glare at his friend. Inuyasha had a tendency to annoy the hell out of his fiancée with his words.

He smiled at the couple and stood up. "I must go, I've got an appointment in a couple of minutes and I can't be late." He nodded at both and headed for the door.

"Inuyasha wait!" he stilled at Sango's voice and smiled once more before turning to face the girl, eyebrows raised inquiringly.

"Our engagement party is on Saturday night and we would love you to come." She handed him a small piece of paper and stood back. "It'll be nice if you could make it."

He read the invite and nodded once more. "I'll have to see." He turned away and disappeared, the soft click of the front door audible as Miroku came up behind her to place a kiss on her ear and laying his head on hers.

"I hope he can make it."

"Me too." Sango continued to stare at where Inuyasha had been and frowned. What could have possibly made him ask about Kagome after all this time?

He settled back into his car and watched the scenery pass before his eyes. "Sango Sasaki…" Inuyasha murmured thoughtfully, "smooth act…"

The minute he had turned to her for information, her heartbeat had accelerated slightly and he could literally feel the anxiety radiate from the girl. He smiled at his newfound information and took out his mobile to make new inquiries.

He would have to watch the girl carefully from now on if he wanted to get his Kagome back.
