Yay! I finally updated! (about time too!) So now we're on the eighth chapter of spinning Petals. I'm so excited! Are you? Well, I won't hold you from reading any longer. Enjoy!
~*~Spinning Petals~*~ Chapter Eight: Curiosity Killed the Monk, err, the cat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango stretched her back as she dropped the keyboard into the trunk of Inuyasha's beat up car. Miroku followed suit as he sat down on the curb. Sango eyed him accusingly.
"You're a lot of help."
Miroku merely smirked at her. She rolled her eyes, "So Miroku. It seems like everyone in Ningen-Youkai has problems, except for perfect little you. What's your secret?" she asked as she sat beside him on the curb.
Miroku sighed, catching Sango's attention. She leaned over and looked up at him, "You can tell me you know. I wouldn't tease you or joke about it."
Miroku looked down at her with pleading eyes. They seemed so full of such sadness and the humorous flame that usually resided there seemed like it had burned out. He held her gaze there for a while before quickly breaking it to look at the moon rising in the sky, drunk with white luminescence. He cleared his throat.
"We should finish packing, so Inuyasha can take this stuff home." Sango watched him stand up, his face covered with shadows, looking away from her. Sango narrowed her eyes and crept behind him slowly. She reached for his side; his only tickle spot. Apparently, Sango had not been expecting a response...
They re-entered Spinning Petals ten minutes later with ruffled hair and wrinkled clothes. Sango stopped dead in her tracks as she saw Inuyasha talking with someone calmly. Well was. She watched the raven-haired woman rush out of the club, her ice-blue eyes turning colder as she stepped outside the door.
Sango didn't even bother asking why she left she quickly turned on Inuyasha, "What did you say?" her tone causing Inuyasha to take an involuntary step back.
"I didn't do anything!"
"And that's why she rushed out like that? Uh-hu. I'll believe that."
"Just forget it Sango, no one is asking you! Okay? Just keep your nose in your own business!"
"Fine."
"Good!"
Both crossed their arms as Miroku put a hand to his forehead. Why him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango sat on the couch bouncing her legs crossed over one another. She flipped through the channels, looking for something that might entertain her. No luck. She placed the remote on the coffee table and leaned back into the sofa and closed her eyes. She suddenly felt someone sit next to her and the sound of the tv.
"Oh no you don't!" she cried as she quickly snatched the remote from Miroku's hand.
"But Sango..."
"No."
"But I-"
"NO."
"It's only-"
"N-O Miroku."
"C'mon!"
"Find something else entertaining." Sango forgot that Miroku was very adapt and improvising. She felt a shadow fall over her and looked up, meeting indigo blue eyes, mischievous glint and all.
"Well I have a game."
Sango raised her eyebrows with uncertainty, "Yes?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha arrived home to the sounds of laughing and teasing. He peaked his head in the kitchen and found Miroku wearing only his boxers and Sango sitting across from him with her sweater folded neatly over the back of her chair.
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows at them as Sango waved, "What...are you doing?"
Sango shrugged, "Miroku wanted to play strip poker."
Miroku looked towards Inuyasha, "It kind of backfired."
Inuyasha smirked, "I can see that."
Sango patted the seat next to her, "Come place with us, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha laughed, "Yeah, sure. You'd both be naked by the time I finish."
Sango smiled slyly, "Then come prove it."
Inuyasha's curiosity was weighing him down. Miroku was a decent poker player and he never lost so much as a tie while playing strip poker, "I think I might just do that."
"Great. Miroku, put your pants back on."
Within two hours Sango learned how much clothing both Inuyasha and Miroku wore all the way down to their boxers when she finally decided to have mercy; where as Inuyasha and Miroku learned within those same two hours never challenge Sango to a strip anything match because you'll end up being the one who's taking off your clothes.
Sango smiled proudly as she put the playing cards away, "You're curiosity got a hold of you two."
Inuyasha grumbled and Miroku whispered into Sango's ear teasingly, "I wonder if your that sly with other things as well?"
Inuyasha was finishing buttoning up his shirt as he saw Sango storm pass him with a very ticked off face.
He finished the last button as he called out to the man in the other room, "Curiosity killed the Monk you know."
All he heard was a muffled reply from the coat closet.

Well, I know it's short, but I hope some of you got a kick out of it. That's also why it's given a pg-13 rating, cause I'm just getting warmed up. Expect the next chapter to be a little longer and to contain some of Miroku's reflections. Tell me what you think!

spirited-dreamer: I'm glad that the Sango/Inuyasha thing doesn't seem like that kind of relationship. I was worried, but now I'm worried to see what you think about this chapter.
Jea: Is this a little funnier? I'm happy that you said my stories are that visual, cause that's my goal! Yep Yep! Now update! ~doo doo~
toysrusgirl: Don't worry. Kagome is coming in real soon. Also, Sango will show more anger in a bit, you'll see. Her anger is kinda like my mom's. She keeps it bottled in then explodes. Just wait.
Misa-chan: Yes! I finally updated! I know I'm making Miroku a little to pevrted, but there's a reason. I promise. He really isn't. Let's just say it's an act of sorts. Sorry it took so long to update! I feel so guilty!
Well, that's about it. I hope to update in two weeks so keep wach!
