Chapter Two:

"Look, you can tell me while we go eat ice cream. Oh, and don't forget to bring your homework. We will do it, while we eat ice cream."

"Okay."

"Let's race!"

They raced downstairs, and soon entered the kitchen. Where Sango could remember the warm nights she spent at the kitchen drinking hot cocoa, laughing and smiling. The kitchen with its refrigerator, its dining table with its red-white checkered table cloth, the cupboards filled with dishes, bowls, and cups, the drawers filled with numbers of silverware, and Mrs. Higurashi washing the vegetables, getting ready for dinner.

Kagome took out some ice cream out of the refrigerator, and started scooping scoops of ice cream into two orange bowls. She handed Sango the bowl of ice cream and a spoon, and the other bowl of ice cream was left to herself.

"So what is it?"

"What, the science problem?"

"Uh, no. Remember when you said you were thinking about something?"

"Oh! it's just, well, it's Miroku..."

Flashback

There was laughter everywhere. There were party hats, and pieces of cake, the game, "Pin the Donkey", and others. But there was one person that didn't joined in the fun. There was a crying girl, sitting alone in a corner while everybody was watching Miroku blow out the candles of his 5th birthday cake. Everybody cheered when he did. And he made three wishes.

" My first wish is to have a donkey."

" My second wish is to have a neat car!"

" My third wish is…"

Everybody wondered what the third wish was. Miroku didn't say it out loud. He said it so soft that nobody can hear, except the little girl in the corner. Sango. To her, the wish was as loud as can be.

"My third wish is to kiss Sango."

The moment she heard it, she bursted to full tears. She didn't want to be with that freak Miroku. The one who rubbed other girl's butts on purpose! She didn't want to be with that guy who was all nice around the girls and being disorderly around the boys.

And what the little girl did was ran away, into the darkness of the evening.

"I am thinking…I am thinking of Miroku. I mean, that was long time ago."

"Oh, I know him. He's really nice."

" Yeah, I guess."

Flashback

A girl was on the floor, throwing up. She was alone, but a shadow above her told her she was not. A particular shadow with a boyish shape stood with the familiar shape of the little ponytail, jeans, and t-shirt.

"You okay? Let me take you to the nurse." Said Miroku, as he stuck out a hand to help Sango.

Ends Flashback

"I just don't know whether I like him or not. He's so complicated."

Sango put down her spoon. "Look, I gotta go. I am going to get my stuff first, though."

She walked up the stairs, thinking about what she just said. She took the jacket, and stuffed the homework back into her backpack.

"Sayonara, Mrs. Higurashi, Sota, Kagome. I will see you later." She bowed.

She went out the door,put on her jacket, andopened up herpurple umbrella. And she wentinto the darkness of the night. While it was raining...
