Author Note: I really love you guys! I got 45 reviews and maybe it's not the most for authors like me at this rate (10 chapters) but I'm nearly reaching my goal of being a better writer!!
Hanyou-elf: Well, I know how everybody thinks of this as a Chobit's theme which is like the cutest anime I have seen next to Di Gi Charat!! I got the idea from this movie that takes place in the 30's of Shanghai but I decided to scratch off details since it seemed like the characters had too much (like money). And the ending…. Well, you got to wait to see for sure… ^^
The grammer mistakes? Oh, I was kind of typing this before it was time for me to finish my homework so I didn't bother to read it over till the last moment.
Duet Masaki: It is kind of sad that he got the door slammed on him but read more in this chapter… It's really funny in my opinion.
Unspoken Words
Three…Four... Five…
"Oh my god! This guy really is determined…" Sango tried to gasp for breath as she faced her back against the wide wooden door of the gate. She knew that he was a playboy but not an idiotic and daring one…
"What should I do?!" Her plans to go after Kagome and Inuyasha were ruined. The front door had been blocked by Miroku and the back door was ok to use but what if her dad in the back porch ask her why she couldn't use the front door? He might even get up from his seat and check who was outside!
Then her plans will be ruined…
She knew that Miroku was going to call for her all day and ask if she was sick or not. Drats! Why didn't she go to her apartment and prepare over there?! Now she remembered, the apartment was too far to walk from but at least it had a fire escape.
Gotta think.. Gotta think… Must go and find them… She scratched her chin and looked up at the magnolia tree which was located beside the roof of the Dojo.
Perfect…
Sango began climbing up through the branches and reached a hand for the ceramic tiles out on the top.
Honestly… Miroku was not a bad person and he could be very nice. Maybe it wasn't right to slam the door in front of him all of the sudden. She sighed. But all men have their flaws and apparently he had one of the worst ones… But she had to go and chase after Kagome.
When she finally reached the top, pulling her legs up from the branches in safety, she pulled on a black leather jacket and some boots to match. Then, pulled off her hat to reveal the green dyed hair beneath them and applied on black mascara and lipstick. She checked herself with her compact mirror in hopes that Miroku wouldn't dare chase after her in such a state and ended it was a quick, solemn prayer.
She was especially praying hard that her family wouldn't catch her in such a state like this because she never really dressed in some like a Goth or some punk until she stopped by a store yesterday.
She was all set to go…

Meanwhile, a middle aged man was sitting in the back porch of the Dojo and sipping some herbal tea as he read the daily newspaper. What a father who had such a daughter like Sango… She was so devoted to her friendship with Kagome even if she was erm... dumb or not. Then, she was sweet and devoted to her training…
His cheeks glowed with pride and he felt so overwhelmed. Then, he returned to his paper and turned to the ads in one column. Some people usually would check it for any used appliances and sales of such… But, this was different. He was checking out the column Matchmaker for erm…good reasons.
Making sure that nobody was there to see him reading this, he turned the pages and looked for an ad that said "Age: 16-20".
He did this till he finally stopped at one column.
It read: 18yr old boy looking for soul mate of relative age… Call me!
He stifled a laugh. If only his wife was still alive to read this… He would have laughed his heart out loud till a shout calling to him from the kitchen interrupted the jolly moment.
"Dad!" 5th grader, Kohaku, stepped one foot out into the yard. "There's some guy outside calling for Sango and he's dressed a little funny… What should I do?"
He coughed and set down the paper. "I'll answer it…"
Kohaku watched his father as he returned to his manga. After some second thoughts, he decided to go and follow after his dad to the front door. Besides, it was rare to find some guy chasing after Sango in such a… state.
~*~
Miroku pondered outside the huge wooden gate of the dojo which seemed to separate from him and Sango. He paused after rubbing that bump mark on his head. He thought it was like Romeo and Juliet, no like the Chinese story the Butterfly Lovers. Yup, like a perfect romance story…
All of the sudden he was cut off in his thoughts as the door suddenly creaked open.
"Creeepy…."
He looked both ways and stepped inside till suddenly he saw an arrow flying straight into his direction. Quickly, he dodged it and it missed him by only an inch. He sighed in relief till five more arrows came headed his way. Is Sango crazy or mad?!! He dodged like a mad man.
They all pinned him to the door by the sleeves of his hakama that he was unable to pull away. Even, picking at the thick cloth of his clothing with fingernails seemed a fruitless effort.
He was starting to regret that groping he gave Sango…
Miroku looked down at the sword which was still blunt at the edge that he had been carrying which was now touching the floor. He desperately tried to use his foot to bring it up till something he saw in front of him stopped him.
He looked up and saw a middle aged man coming his way followed by a young kid.
Great… He was going to be murdered…
"Dad, why is he dressed like a Samurai?" The kid spoke up as he pointed at his strange attire.

Kagome looked at herself through the mirror and checked several times to make sure that it was appropriated. Well, not that it was because Inuyasha was going to take her shopping and all that junk like her mother said. But, it felt necessary to.
She took out her comb and pulled it through the rough edges and tangles which her mother always advised her to do everyday. When she was satisfied, she took a deep breath and pulled along her Hello Kitty bag.
~*~
Inuyasha tried desperately not to kill himself in nervousness and he waited outside as Mrs.Higurashi smiled at him. It was peaceful and nice but it kind of made him feel weird… Or too weird…
He coughed and cleared his throat.
"My daughter will come down any moment."
And she was right, because at that moment he could see Kagome skipping down the stairs and swinging around her Hello Kitty bag? A Kitty bag? He looked down at her from head to do. She wore a long sweatshirt that the hem reached to the bottom of her knee which hide the shorts she was wearing. Her hair was pulled back and had a baseball cap on top.
He grinned.
"Sit?" She blinked till she got a better look at him. "Sit! Sit! Sit!" She said them out loud with such a cheerful tone.
Mrs.Higurahsi placed her hands over her mouth to hide her laughter until she dismissed them and closed the door behind them. Sango was right, this young man is nice and he sure makes her happy…

"See…" Kohaku showed his father the cover of his manga (I guess you know which one). "Doesn't he look almost like a samurai? Maybe he's chasing after Sango and tearing down this school…"
His father nodded and touched his small gray moustache.
"Umm…" He gave a nervous smile. Must not show fear when in front of future in-laws. "May I speak to your daughter, Sango?"
