Lucky Number Seven
Chapter EIGHT: 'Mmmm Chocolate'
By: Mel-chan and Ali-chan

-----

Sango and Miroku walked nonchalantly through the park to an ice cream vendor. Sango grumbled and Miroku took her hand and led her to it. It was times like this when she was commenting on something he said, or when she was ordering her desired flavor of ice cream to the vendor, that he would return a witty hentai-like comment and then use his 'slip of the hand.' This was followed by Sango's own 'slip of the hand.'

Sango was had to admit to herself that she was enjoying his company between those specific times, but there was no way in the bowls of hell that she would openly admit that. She sighed, until she felt again, that rubbing pressure on her bottom. Her eyes twitched, the ice cream in her hand flew from her hand and landed in Miroku's face. The cone was stuck there for a moment before it slowly slid away to reveal Miroku's smiling, yet surprised face, covered in ice cream. Miroku then lifted a finger to his nose and took some of the ice cream into his mouth. "Mmm.. Chocolate." He said.

He then dumped his ice cream all over Sango's shiny black hair. She blinked, and then burst out laughing, and Miroku joined her. People passed by, looking at the odd couple, with ice cream running down their faces and onto their clothes. They were laughing hysterically! They tried to avoid these weird people.

Inu Yasha sat in the back of the canoe, rowing his muscles out as the silly girl in front did nothing but view the river in front of them. Planning to be with Sango, Kagome had specifically picked out this boat which was named 'Friendship,' but with Inu Yasha it was both embarrassing and hilarious. She gazed out ahead. The scenery was beautiful. Kagome could not help but smile widely. She then noticed that Inu Yasha was laboring while she was just sitting there with a paddle in her hands. She began blushing sheepishly even though he couldn't see her cherry red face.

After they had registered, the canoe company took them and others, twenty minutes from the offices, on a bus ride to the river. They were to canoe down the river with a guide boat ahead and then end up back at the companies building. Inu Yasha was grumbling now and then but he seemed to have mellowed out, Kagome noticed. The guide they had been following stopped at a little sunny beach where they were to have a snack. Really it was just a granola bar. Inu Yasha's stomach growled horribly. In the canoe their conversations were short. No matter how hard Kagome tried to start one, Inu Yasha some how managed to end it. "You have a skill you know?" Kagome said absently.

"Huh?" Inu Yasha said. 'What's she talking about?'



"You some how keep turning down any thing I say to you! What's your problem?" She asked as innocent as she could, glad that her back was to him. "Well.. I.." He didn't realize what he'd been doing. He felt guilty. "I'm sorry. I didn't.. I'm just not used to talking.." He was cut off. "To girls?" Kagome giggled. "No! To people in general." Inu Yasha said annoyed. Kagome ignore him. "Or just pretty girls?" She continued still doing that 'girly giggle.' "You aren't pretty!!" Inu Yasha said without thinking. Kagome sat there and slowly turned around to face him. She was wreathed in flames. "How dare you..!" She got up to try and slap him.

"You really DON'T know how to talk to girls do you!?" When she got up, he panicked. The canoe rocked warningly, but all of a sudden, it tipped, sending Inu Yasha and Kagome flying into the cold water, making them glad it was pretty warm for a spring day.

Our scene then slides into the view of the hall way in which leads to the apartments.

Coming up from the elevator is a 'still' laughing Sango and Miroku whose faces are sticky. Kagome and Inu Yasha were in the hallway yelling at each other.

"It's YOUR fault that we tipped!" Kagome shouted. She was dripping wet and her shirt was sticking to her body. Inu Yasha noticed but mentally slapped himself with the fact that he WAS turning into Miroku. Inu Yasha was drenched too, his long hair laying sodden down his back. "If you would have just stayed in the front and verbally insulted me, for all I care, we would not have tipped!" He said, his voice slightly more loudly than hers was. "If you weren't an idiot and didn't know the difference between a cow and me then I wouldn't have HAD to trying and hit you." Kagome raised her voice, trying to match his. "I never said you looked like a cow, but now that you mention it!" Inu Yasha said even more loudly. Kagome just shrieked and slapped him. She then walked past him into her room. Inu Yasha stood there. His face red hot from the slap and still turned sideways. His hand absently made its way to his cheek. He whispered something but it was inaudible to the two bystanders who had witnessed the whole thing. They had gone silent watching the two bicker. "Feh.. Bitch." Inu Yasha said, recovering. He then walked into his room, not taking any notice of Miroku or Sango. "Err.. Bye Miroku." Sango said as she took a step towards her apartment, ready to try and comfort her friend. She was surprised when Miroku took her wrist and whipped her around to meet his gaze. Slowly and confidently, he bent down for a kiss, but Sango bent her head down, declining him. "I'm sorry.." She said. She realized that she was getting to deep into this situation and she turned on her heel and closed the door of the apartment behind her, leaving Miroku alone for a moment. "Sorry Sango, but I cannot accept." A smile then graced his handsome features and he began to devise a plan to break that tough shell around her and steal her heart since she already stole his. He walked to his room and had good dreams that night.
