A Little Rivalry Goes A Long Way
Disclaimer : I do not own Miroku. Sango does, and there's no way I'm getting on her bad side. (glace at her gigantic weapon) Nope nope nope! o.O ;;
I can't believe I actually broke into his house like ... like some kind of criminal. Sango scans the living room for any sign of documents. No, she is not a thief, although you can't really tell by the way she's searching his house. Sango is an extremely experience news writer working for Hanyou News, and she is the best dang news writer there. At least, until that new guy came along ... Miroku Hoshi. When he first moved across the hallway from her apartment, she was thrill to have a new neighbor. Who knew that he was going to take over her job?
Sango wench, thinking of how outrageously unfair her boss can be. Not only did Mr. Chin let Miroku redo her article, he is probably going to give Miroku her job as editor if she doesn't watch her back. I work my butt off to get up there, and no one, especially not some lousy newcomer, is going to take it away from me! If only she could find his articles file. She just have to get a peek at the new articles Mr. Chin had given him yesterday. Miroku seems way too happy at work today. Whatever those articles were, they can't be good news for her.
If he didn't leave it in his living room, then where could it be? Sango glace at the close door of what seems to be a bedroom. Should she? It seems so wrong to go into someone's bedroom, uninvited. Then again, she really does need those files. Sango frown, debating her options in her mind. Fine, I'll will do it for the sake of my job. She opened the door, and there, lying on the computer desk, was a yellow folder marked "Confidential." Sango grins triumphantly, reaching for the folder. What's that ringing? Freezing in position, Sango tilt her ears forward. Oh my god, that is the sound of keys! Sango panicked, her hands still in position. Couching down behind the his desk, Sango manage to cover herself. Forget the stupid documents! how am I have to get out of here without being discover?
******************************************
Miroku open the door to his apartment. Every bone in his body was sore and his feet were aching. Working was rougher than Miroku had ever imaged. He was so use to living in his father giant mansion and prancing around in designer clothes that he never took the time to wonder how hard it is to make money. Wells, that was then. That was before his father kicked him out into the real world. Now, he's stuck in a run down apartment with a low paying job. Life sucks. At least, Mr. Chin seems to favor him. A little bit of flattery goes a long way. Miroku grins. I'm determine to get promoted to editor someday.
That was "someday." For now, all he wants to do is get out of his work cloths and take a long nap. How strange. He remembers that he always closes his bedroom door before leaving for work. Maybe I'm just getting old and forgetful. Miroku laugh to himself. Look what a few weeks of work did to me. Once he was in his bedroom, he started to take off his shirt.
******************************************
Sango cover her mouth to suppress a gasp. There's no way he is planning to strip in front of me. No! No! No! I would pay him to put it back on. Sango use one hand to cover her mouth and the other hand to cover her eyes. She stay in the crouch position for a long time. She didn't dare remove her hands, for fear that he might still be changing. This is almost funny in a way. Ironic, at least. Sango thought to herself. Even though Miroku had only been working in the company for a couple of weeks, he already had the reputation of a pervert. Yet, here I am, secretly hiding in his bedroom while he changes. This is just so wrong ... on so many levels. She almost breathe a sigh of relieve when she heard the doorbell.
******************************************
Miroku was confused. Who could it be? No one knew him that well at work yet, and he has be trying to keep a low profile when he goes out. Peeking through the door hole, he saw a beautiful small girl smiling. Mieko. They were dating a long while back and hadn't seen each other forever. What's she doing here? He open the door to let her in.
"Miroku, it's been so long. How have you been?" She moved forward to hug him. Miroku embrace her uncertainly. "You're probably wondering why I'm here. I was just visiting Japan for awhile. I came by your house to visit you, and your dad told me that he kick you out?!"
Miroku laugh. "Yea, the old man got tire of me lying around and wasting "valuable" money, so he took away all my cash, credit cards, and checks." Might as well take my life. Miroku thought bitterly.
******************************************
Sango could hear noises outside and was already planning her escape. With Miroku preoccupied with a girl, she might be able to sneak right out. Thank goodness he had left the bedroom door opened.

Uh ho, what has Sango got herself into? haha. I'm still thinking if I should write a second chapter or not. If you want to read more of this story, Review review review? I'm hoping for 10 +, but maybe that's being too greedy, lol. ^-^
