Very short, so I'll post another one later.
Pairaka - Wug wug. Wug.
Vilja - You found the marble in the oatmeal! You get to drink from the firehose! A less than innocent Kohaku is nice, innit? And I dunno, maybe when he talked to Sango she sounded strange? I haven't the faintest idea....;)

The night before, we lay on our couch, tangled up in each other and fleece blankets. We'd just moved in together, and the couch was the only piece of new furniture we could afford - everything else was a mishmash of our trashy apartment furniture and milk crates.
Her eyes were wet, and she kept rubbing a few of the rosary beads between her fingers.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"You made me forget. I've never been so alive before. I didn't want to remember that I'm going to die."
"How poetic. You're a complete and utter jerk."
"Well what did you think I wore this thing for? Good luck?"
"Yes, actually. You said you got it from your grandfather. I assumed it was some poker karma...thing."
"You're my poker karma thing."
"Shut up."
"Shutting up." I cuddled down next to her and rested my head on her shoulder.
I could hear her heart beat faintly. I watched her fuzzy-covered chest rise and fall.
"I won't make you promises I can't keep." I mumbled. "But believe me when I say that I will love you until the day I die."
"You'd better hope that's a long time in coming." she yawned, kissed my forehead, and then we fell asleep.
The next day we were playing a quick game of Black Jack before meeting InuYasha and Kagome for drinks. Sango bet the price of two Harvey Wallbangers, our favorite cocktail.
And I tossed out a diamond ring. Her big soft eyes got even larger.
"Miroku, what is this?!"
"It's my bet. Marry me, Sango."
She blinked, swallowed, looked at the ring, looked at me, looked at her cards, looked at me, looked at the ring.
"Show me your hand." She was shaking.
I laid down the King of Diamonds and the Queen of Hearts.
We got married on the brightest summer day I have ever seen.
