Holding a hand to his face, Miroku sighed as Sango's figure drifted out of his line of sight. A sharp tug to the back of his robes startled him out of his thoughts. Turning to find Kagome, he offered her a cheerful smile.

"To what do I owe this pleasure, Kagome-sama?"

"For a smart man, you certainly don't think before acting."

He laughed, winking at her. "I don't see anyone else gaining the attention of the two most beautiful ladies in the area."
