Sango was getting frustrated. She'd been in Japan for a little over six months as an exchange student and still had language issues.

"Doushta?" he asked.
"Nothing." I don't know how to say "I love you"! How…depressing…
"Sure?" Can't find the words? Or don't you want to tell me?
"Yeah."
He abruptly leaned forward and kissed her gently. "Now?"
A smile. "Much better."
