Unspoken Words
Not that Easily
"So why are you here, then?" The old man questioned him.
Miroku scratched his head or tried at the words he remembered the little kid was saying to his father. True, he was dressing like one when he got the idea from an old comic lying around in his room. Besides, if Inuyasha said that he didn't like the leather or the sports jacket, why not go traditional? It was a real lucky guess that he got it as a gift and arrived at a dojo. A real big coincidence…
Actually, it wasn't a gift. He was saving the outfit for a special occasion after he was a little heart broken (though he knew she would) when Nami Kudos rejected him. Of course, the goddess of all senior high school girls would do that when he was only a freshman at the time. Foolish but it seemed so real when he was running after (or chasing after her like a maniac) with a large bouquet of flowers.
Now it was time to use the outfit to the best of his limits…
::::::: --- Scenery change (Movie Version) ---::::::::::
Suddenly, the clouds begin to darken and gather above the gathering… The wind blew and swirled the leaves of all different colors (which was strange for spring) and some water droplets started to touch the ground.
For some reason, he looks down with his dark bangs covering his face. A smirk appears as on his face as he pulls or rather plucks the arrows which are pinning him to the door. Streams of red liquid begin to drip down from the palms of his head as the rest of them watch him.
(Tosses the ketchup packet from Wacdonalds away behind his back)
"The truth is that I'm looking for your daughter in order to proclaim my words of love for her."
He looks up as the clouds begins to part and shine a little spotlight over his head which was another crazy special effect he used.
Kohaku stuttered at the change in scene. "But how did you… guys met???"
Miroku turned around and looked with a dark but amused look on his face. Then, he turns to the side as the wind blows his hair back. "The truth is…. A long time ago, I was wandering around the world in search of a way to make up for my sins that I caused with my stained hands. And then, I saw her, Sango, a young and beautiful maiden, who was looking for the killer who ruined her dojo in her father's name." He held up his (unsharpened sword) into the air and flashed it into the light. "She was tough but ended up helpless as the villains surrounded her.
Sango's little brother gawked at his words and constantly looked back and forth from his manga that he was holding. It sounded awfully familiar.
"I rescued her from the villains, and was about to leave till I heard her calling my name. I told her that I was an unworthy man to stay in her presence but she took me in. Thus, I finally found the one who accepted me and showed me love."
The light fades out and the clouds disappear which reveals the hidden blue sky of the most beautiful day there was, that afternoon. After Miroku finished all that, he took back his sword and placed it back in its sheath with such ease.
::::::::::----The Movie Scene Ends----:::::::::::::
Sango's father nodded as though he accepted his explantation and touched his moustache with his eyes wide shut. "Yes… You are perfect for my daughter. A worthy man like you never dressed up like some modern hippie man but not you. But as a man who wears an outfit in symbolism of his spirit and dares to come, here, to confess his love. Beautiful…"
"What! You believe all of that!" Kohaku cried out. "The storyline completely matches the storyline of my manga!!"
He shrugged and smiled as he held out a hand to Miroku. "Come on in and have some tea. Sango is a little busy at the moment but let's get to know each other! I got some tea!"
The two laughed and joyfully talked to one another as they entered the dojo. Kohaku was left behind as he just stared at the ground. Was his father nuts or something?
~*~
The two walked around the streets as they passed by a thousand of stores and such. Most of them sold women's clothing and Inuyasha was in disgust. He hated to wear or buy any new clothes. It was rather a waste of money. They continued on walking as Kagome looked to the side in curiosity. So what were they going to do…?
Kagome sighed and looked down. What were they going to do, today? She had expected that since he was here, they were going to do something fun.
Sango was watching the two behind a lamp post as several old grannies passed but in disgust as they hobbled away from the sight of her outfit. Ok, so maybe the fake belly piercing and tattoes were a little too much for everybody. But hey, the more things, the better!
"Stupid….." She muttered. "The two walked around for so long like 3 fricking hours but they still haven't done anything!" The teenager sighed as she took out a marker and ripped off a flyer for some kind of apartment rental. Who cares about the sign, saving a relationship was good enough. She scribbled on the paper and after that, made a paper airplane which struck Inuyasha in the back of his head.
"What the hell?" He rubbed the back of his head in fury as she watched him.
"Hell? Hell?" She said, again.
"What?"
"Hell! Hell!" She pointed to his head and to the ground; Then, repeated the words. Some mothers who were passing by shielded at their children's ears from the swears.
"Stupid!" Sango cracked her knuckles as she made another airplane and flew it, again. "If you dare not take up the paper, I will strangle your throat!"
Another paper airplane struck him, again.
"Now what is it?!" He snatched up the paper and tore it open.
It read:
Inuyasha! Please take Kagome shopping for clothes and decent ones or I will so kill you! And, don't forget to pay it on your own account, please!!!
Yours truly,
You-know-who-and-if-you-don't-listen-I-will-so-hurt-you!!!
He turned around to try to catch the one who threw the airplane but couldn't see anybody he regonized in sight. Maybe it was some messenger from God commanding him to do it or maybe it was her… He swallowed and confiscated the letter into the trash can.
Scary… Having a real live stalker….
"Hell? Sit?" Kagome looked at him as he dabbed his forehead with a hankerchief.
"Come on, girl. Move it or else!!" Inuyasha said, harshly. She didn't seemed to mind as she was skipping ahead of him to their latest direction.

"So, when should we plan the wedding?" Miroku said, calmly as he sipped his tea.
"You have the arrangement ring, yet?" The middle-aged man replied as he too, sipped his tea.
"I have it planned but I don't know wheter a sapphire or not…" He paused. "Maybe an emerald because it really matches her eyes when you think of it…"
"That's a good choice. Did you know that it's her birth stone and her mother's?" he asked.
He shook his head. "Lucky guess…"
The two smiled and said simultaneously. "Like every future husband, he knows!!" They laughed and poured some more tea.
Kohaku watched the two as he banged his head against the tea table over and over. This was a crazy and Sango didn't even knew about the engagement thing, yet.
"Kohaku. It's not polite to bang your head…" His father said, coolly. "Oh and do you think that a traditional wedding dress is better on Sango. I think that the modern one was rather stunning ever since I saw your mom in one…"

It was like a crazy shopping spree as Inuyasha looked back and forth and dragged Kagome around to any woman's department store he could find. Not like that he wanted to find some sales because he was rich and all. No… He just didn't want to see that stalker, again. If it turned out to be her, he would just go overboard.
"Maybe I should call the cops…." Inuyasha pondered as Kagome was shoved by him into a dressing room with her arms full of clothing that he randomly he picked in record time.
He blushed at the thought of women's clothing and decided to stand by the entrance just so that nobody would really focus too much attention on him.
Get a hold of yourself!! You don't want to humiliate yourself!!! Please!!!
"Sit!" He turned around to see Kagome and found himself blushing at her.
She looked at him with a blank and innocence look in her eyes. "Sit…. Sit! Sit!"
Kagome wore a long white skirt with a dress coat over her with the cuffs and collar in plaid. Long dark hair steamed down her back and part of it was tied back into a mini bun with some pink ribbons.
Inuyasha turned and blushed. He desparetly tried not to look at her. "Try some other one, wench." Suddenly, he wanted to take back the words but soon she was back into her dressing room.
Now, she wore a long pink dress with a spaghetti dress that seemed so light and airy. She wore white sandels on and seed bracelets adorned her wrists.
Some of the girls who were watching the tow gushed and cooed. She did look adorable and quickly (and strangly) pulled her over and piled more clothes in her arms. Thousands of t-shirts with cute sayings, jeans, shorts, dresses, socks and even hair ornaments that could fill a room up were carried in their arms. Then, they pulled her to the dressing room where Inuyasha was shut out because he was a guy.
"Are they trying to max out my credit card?" He sighed and muttered a few swears.
He paused and looked around, nervously. A tint of red appeared on his face which seemed to glow brighter and brighter as a second passed by.
Sango looked over in the corner of her eyes as she passed by the store's glass doors.
You're doing fine… Perfectly fine… She said with a smile.
