~*~*~*~* Chapter 14 ~ The Tide Is High *~*~*~*~
"Beautiful isn't it?" Sango said to me. Both of us are staring into the beginning of a sunset.
"Yeah, it's very pretty." I give a glance at Sango. I can tell she's enjoying herself, but she seemed to be restless about something. And I can guess perfectly what she is so 'restless' about.
"Kagome, where do you think Miroku and Inu Yasha has gone off to? I mean, they're going to miss the sunset if they come sooner!" Sango said, telling me that I was right.
"Don't worry. They'll come soon. They're only dropping by some stores. Why are you so worried about them anyways?"
"W....... what? Me? Worried about them? What are you talking about Kagome?"
"Whatever." I sighed. I look at my watch. Oops, I need to go the 'meeting place'. I just hope our 'plan' is going to work properly. "Gomene, Sango. I'm really thirsty. I think I'll go buy some drinks, you want some?"
"Yeah.........." said Sango, as she looked around.
"I'll be back in a jiffy!" I winked at her and quickly run towards the parking lot. I saw Inu Yasha and.. is that a red Miroku I see over there?
"Yo" Inu Yasha said, smiling at me. My heart give a shocking beat, but I ignored it. Instead, I look at Miroku.
"Whoa, Miroku! Did Inu Yasha burn your face or something?" Miroku gulped beside me. I laughed.
"Feh. He's just too darn nervous." Inu Yasha said. "And what for? I mean, it's too easy to ask a girl out when you are 99% sure what the answer will be." At this statement, Miroku turned around to look at him. He opened his mouth but nothing came out.
"Feh, what are you gaping at?" Inu Yasha snapped. I shook my head. He's supposed to support Miroku, not tease him.
"Look Inu Yasha. Anybody who's anybody will be nervous if they're in Miroku's situation." I said, defending him. Inu Yasha raised his eyebrows.
"Really? Well, I don't."
"Yeah?" I counter back.
"Of course! I mean, there are millions of girls out there begging me to go and ask them out (A/N That is soooooooo true!!! ^.^) and I don't get all sweaty and red just because I want to do so." Inu Yasha said proudly.
"What about Kikyo?" Somehow, I had a difficult time saying that.
"What about her?" Inu Yasha snapped.
"Yeah. I should ask that. 'What about her'?" I snapped back.
"I don't care what happened to that wench."
"Really?" I raised my eyebrows, glaring at him.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm waiting for an answer." I said clearly.
"Then continue to wait. Coz I'm not going to answer anything!" Inu Yasha replied, turning around so that our eyes wouldn't meet. I decided to continue to stare at him until he answer.
~*~*~*~* MIROKU **POV** *~*~*~*~
I still had my mouth opened as Inu Yasha and Kagome's quarell continues. Behind me, I can hear the wonderful sounds the water made. And the happy voices of people talking. I decided to ignore Inu Yasha and Kagome and my ears started to pay more attention to the talking people behind me.
"I know......" one of them said, by the voice, I know that she is a girl. "This is the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen."
"Isn't this perfect for couples to see?" Another one said, a girl too.
"Yeah, too bad we don't have any partner, huh?" the first voice said.
"Well yeah. But look at the bright side, the tide is coming very fast. It's dangerous for people to hang out if the tide is already here. It is not as perfect as you think." The second voice said.
"Still! It'll be another century before you get a sunset this beautiful! Look, even the sand is red because of the reflection!"
"You're desperate to find someone, aren't you?"
"Well, don't you? I mean, anybody who sees this sunset will feel as if..... I don't know..... flying!"
And as the conversation continues, I look at the sunset. Yes, it is very beautiful. Probably the best sunset I had ever seen. The skies burning red as they float around the melting sun. The oceans reflecting the beautiful scene, making the sun seemed to be sinking into the waters.
I sighed. This will be a perfect time for me to ask her, but I just can't do it. What if she rejects me? What if she only think of me as a friend? Or worse, the pervert that I really am? And if she did accept, would it be out of pity? How big is my chance of receiving a pure 'yes' from her mouth? Probably less than 1%. I smiled painfully to myself. I am so hopeless. I glance at the flowers I just bought for her sitting quietly in Inu Yasha's car. They were lillies, yellow ones. I know they were Sango's favorite kind of flowers, but I'm not sure whether that will change anything.
(A/N Ehehehe, I really don't know what Sango's favorite flowers are so I just made it up. Ehm, something to tell you, flowers do work on girls....... er, feminin girls, i should add. Anyways, back with the story.)
I had made sure that those flowers are wrapped the way I thought Sango would like it. It sure look pretty the moment Inu Yasha and I had bought it from the flower shop, but now.........
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
What? What was that? I quickly turned around to look at the girls behind me. Inu Yasha and Kagome had also stop their quarell and look back at the girls who had just screamed, making my ears ringing like crazy. But it was nothing compared to Inu Yasha's ears..........
"What are you screaming about, wench?" He said, as he covered his ears with his hands (A/N Did you expected it to be dog ears? Nope, sorry, not YET ^.^;). The girls looked frantically at us.
"L........ look! There's a girl......... a girl........in the middle......... in the middle of the ocean..........!"
"What are you talking about?" Growled Inu Yasha.
"Look at the beach!" One of them shouted, as she pointed towards the beautiful beach. All heads turned to look at the beach.
"I can see nothing." Snapped Inu Yasha, as he turn his head back to the girls. But not Kagome.
"I...... Inu Yasha...........?" She whimpered.
"Yeah?"
"I......... Isn't that.............."
"Sango........" I breathed.
"What?" Inu Yasha shouted.
"It's her!" Kagome shouted.
"Sango.........." I breathed.
"Hurry, we need to save her!" Inu Yasha shouted, as he began to move.
"She's not moving!" Kagome shrieked.
"Sango........." I breathed. "SANGOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~
Alright, that's a VERY bad cliff hanger! And I'm really sorry, but it's better SOMETHING than NOTHING right? I mean, sorry, but I'm really really busy. I got no time to write fanfiction. One thing, my family's moving (including me, of course) and I NEED TO PREPARE LOTZ AND LOTZ OF STUFF! So, gomenasai!!! But I'll try to write as fast as possible. I might be able to write a few more chaps before I'm gone and go to a house without computer **hiks hiks** (okay, I've never experienced that before!)
I've decided that my fic is WAY too short, is it not? I mean, I read other fanfics and I think I can do with a longer one, can't I? So....... I hope this one will be good news to all of you, but I'm going to put longer stories from now, starting from chapter 15. But not this chapter, sorry, as I've said before, I'm buzy. My goal is to make Miroku ask Sango out one the next chapter, as I've promised that the San/Mir fic is not going to be more than 5 chapters, and I'm afraid that I can only write about 4, coz........ well, I don't need to explain why, do I? ^.^;
