Sango smiled shyly at the boy before her. "Hey, Miroku."

"Hey, sweetheart. Whatcha doing?"

"Reading." Her heart fluttered at the enderment. Would she ever be able to express her feelings?

"You like secluded places, huh?" The garden was empty.

"Yeah…" Her mouth felt dry. "Got a mint?"

He opened his mouth, a white piece of candy visible on his tongue.

"Oh…nevermind…" Her eyes widened as he moved forward and pressed his lips to hers. Hesitation was brief; she leaned into the kiss.

Coming up for air, she blinked. Her mouth suddenly tasted like...mint?

He smiled. "I like to share."
