Kate-chan 91's tidbits: Thank you for reviewing, Sangi! Because your review made me confident I've been doing a good job, you earn honorary toast. (Throws you toast) And I'm very happy I'm seem to be doing a good job since only 40 people have read this story so far… I wonder if it'll be better as time marches on…
GOOFS/MISTAKES:
I found a mistake at the very end of chapter two I want to edit back to the correct number, so that part may get changed if possible. Also, I couldn't remember how to spell "aneue" (what Kohaku calls Sango in the Japanese version) for the second chapter, but now I do, so he'll call her that from now on. Geez, I may have to do a revised edition of this… or just edit this version. I'll try editing again. (edits)
Enjoy chapter three, everyone!
Chapter Three: Home3333
Sango couldn't believe she was about to enter her home: the one she lived in when she was learning to walk and talk, the one she lived in when her mother was in labor with her brother, the one that sheltered her from rain, snow and many a typhoon, all those memories. Just being on the doormat brought back those memories, both pleasant and heartbreaking.
A gust of joy hit brightened her soul the second Miroku, who was adjusting the key into the keyhole, unlocked and opened the door, Kohaku ran inside and the grinning Sango exclaimed, "Home sweet home!" as she sat down cross-legged on the floor. Just then, a little "mew" came to her ears and a little cat jumped up into her lap.
"Kirara! I've missed you so much!" Sango cheerfully told the purring cat as she and Kohaku petted her on the head.
Miroku, laughing about this, forgot all about what clones were probably living among him and went off to play with Kirara along with the two siblings.

An hour of dressing up and playing with Kirara passed, and as Kohaku was putting food into Kirara's bowl, they all realized it was too around time for dinner for the humans.
The first person to ask was Kohaku. "I'm hungry, Aneue, what's for dinner?" he asked his sister.
"Hold on a second Kohaku, let me look though the cupboards first."
Sango started to look through all the cupboards, the fridge and the freezer in a search for food for dinner, but there was no food to be found except for a beer bottle and half a jar of grape jam in the fridge.
Sango, shocked and a little red cheeked, slowly turned to the two young men. In a slow voice, she told the older one of the two: "Miroku, go get some food at MOS Burger and make it quick."
Miroku didn't want to deal with an angry woman so he grabbed a coat and immediately ran off to go get some food at the chain. As he ran off, Kohaku opened the door and yelled at him, "Don't forget to buy some gyudon at Sukiya, too!" before closing it again.

Dinner composed of some take out hamburgers, a MOS rice burger, fries, several cups of coca-cola and a couple of gyudon from Sukiya. The three of them, especially Kohaku and Sango, ate with gusto, since it was the first time in months they had solid food. As they were dining, Miroku took out a small notepad and pen and starting taking notes about Kohaku's behavior and eating habits.
Miroku finished first since he had the least food. After eating, he got up from his seat and excused himself from the table with his notes in hand. Since Sango and Kohaku were both still eating, they paid little attention to the note writing, except for the brief moment when Kohaku asked, "Did Miroku become a food critic while we were at the hospital, Aneue?" to his older sister.

The sound of keys on a keyboard being tapped littered the hallways upstairs. Miroku was hard at work typing up a status report on Sango's late father's laptop; he had little time to kill. Whenever he made a typing error, he would huff a swear word, backspace it, and mutter to himself how much time he had before he had to turn in Kohaku's status report back to the lab. In exact time, he only had-
"Forty-five minutes. Forty-five damn minutes before I have to turn this damn report in at the laboratory. That damn doctor could've just let me turn it in this fucking thing in the morning, but nope, I have to work my ass off just to type a full-page report. Damn! Backspace NOW, you damn keyboar-"
That's when he heard the room's door squeaking; Sango had opened the door.
Nervous, Miroku closed the laptop as fast as he could to make sure she saw nothing. Sango blinked, asked him, "What were you typing?"
"Uh, uh, uuuhhhh… I was just typing up some of my homework that was due yesterday, Sango, I forgot to… tell you since we were having such a fun time!" The teacher wants me to give it to him in… THIRTY MINUTES! I have to get back to finish this NOW!"
Somewhat frowning, Sango then left the room. "I guess you're going to tell me to leave so you can finish it faster, so I'll just go and check to see if Kohaku is brushing his teeth before he goes to bed. Good luck..." She sighed as she was leaving.
Ten minutes of cursing and typing later, Miroku had finished, saved, printed out and stuffed the status report into a manila folder as he frantically ran towards the subway with only twenty minutes left before the deadline.

Miroku ran into the hospital entrance with only three minutes before he had to deliver the report to the lab and get out. He starting cursing under his breath because he would've had plenty of time if someone that looked like Sango's father didn't shoot himself in the head in another car in the train…
End of Chapter Three
A/N: Uh-oh, my first real cliffy and unanswered question! Don't worry; all of it will be explained some point into the story. I'm going to try to type the next couple of chapters today after school.
