Okay after a break I think I am ready to continue with the story. Thanks to all the readers
who were patient, I think I'm the only one who takes nine chapters to get the love interests
together. Anyway from here on out the story should be more interesting. (I own nothing)
**************************(((((((((((()))))))))))))******************
"I get the feeling I'm being set up." Sango stated while staring at Kagome, "What are you
up to?"
"….."
"I can tell by the grin it must be…a date." Sango concluded.
"….."
"Not talking eh?" Sango walked past Kagome. She was wondering what exactly she was going to get into. Just as Kagome was going to speak up the doorbell rang.
" Here they are." Kagome said slyly
"They?" Sango asked
"I'll get it" Kagome walked to the door opened it and gestured for Inuyasha and Miroku
to come in.
Sango showed little interest in Inuyasha. It was his friend that gave her a feeling of vague familiarity. They walked in and Inuyasha immediately took his favorite spot, right in front
of the TV. His friend however made polite conversation with Kagome. As Miroku looked
about the room his eyes found Sango who likewise was looking at him. She approached him
and extended her hand.
"I'm Sango, nice to meet you."
"I'm Miroku."
"Haven't we met somewhere, you seem very familiar?"
Miroku was surprise that she would recall anything of his existence. Actually he had hoped
she wouldn't remember anything about him , it was embarrassing that he flirted with someone
who was on a cell phone, even worse if that person remembered it.
"Actually I don't think we have, I wouldn't forget someone quite as beautiful as yourself."
Ah that was good, he was a master at words. Miroku sometimes thought he should become a lawyer, he could get himself out of any bad situation.
"Hum." Sango somewhat sighed. She wasn't into sweet talk at all, Kuranosuke had given her
enough experience with that and compliments were cast off like lint on a sweater. Something
about Miroku gave her a strange feeling, when he looked at her it was as though he knew her
for a lifetime. All in all it was unnerving.
"Inuyasha are you going to watch TV or are you going to join us?" Kagome said playfully
"Wait till commercial." Inuyasha said automatically.
Kagome went to pry him off the couch.
"He must really like TV." Miroku said
"You have no idea." Sango laughed.
It bothered Miroku that his flattery hadn't earned any points. But in his scale he wasn't too bad off. Miroku was no stranger to dating, women were his hobby it was a kind of game. He had even made a point scale for it. The highest score was 100, and with Sango he was sure to get an A+.
********************************************
The ride to dinner was enjoyable. The group piled into Sango's SUV, and the debate about whether or not Inuyasha had a car was under way. None of them had seen him drive, not even Sango. Inuyasha's main defense was that it was in the shop. Miroku was above the rest at cracking jokes on Inuyasha's behalf. That had automatically made him a part of their group. They arrived at the restaurant and within five minutes they were seated, despite the long wait and angry glares from those who had apparently been waiting over an hour. It was Miroku who had put their names down, he ignored the protest of Inuyasha whose main concern was the wait. The host had noticed Miroku's entrance and immediately shuffled about.
"Miroku, to what do we owe the honor of your presence?"
"Just out with some friends, let's keep it low key, okay?"
"Right away, your usual table will be ready."
"There really is no rush…" It was to late, the host was bending over backwards for their most valued customer. 'so much for low key.' Miroku thought.
********************************************
"Desert anyone?"
The waiters had paid an enormous amount of attention to Miroku and his party. They had had a sample of everything on the menu, Inuyasha had wanted to test out the limits of the restaurants kindness. He ordered a pizza with a milkshake, items completely off the menu. Unbelievably he got it.
"What's with the star treatment?" Sango asked
"I have no idea." Kagome said
"It must be because I'm in the company of such wonderful women." Miroku said
"No, that's not it. Maybe were the millionth customer?" Inuyasha said looking up from his cheesecake.
"I like Miroku's explanation better." Kagome said
The group laughed only to be interrupted by the host from before.
"Miroku, which of these fine ladies is your date?"
It was awkward for a moment. Sango shifted a bit in her chair and Miroku was frozen, trying not to be presumptuous. That was before Kagome pointed out Sango.
"She's his date."
"Thanks Kagome." Sango said sarcastically
"No problem." She responded with a wink
"Ah, I see. Miroku doesn't deserve such a pretty creature as yourself." The host held her hand and motioned as though he kissed it.
Miroku looked at Sango apologetically. He knew that she was his date but by pretending to be unaware of the whole situation he a credited himself 10 points.
'If you move to fast on a blind date the girl thinks you're a playboy, innocence is the best bet. And judging from her reaction to my compliment Sango is not the girly blushing type.' Miroku thought. "Pity, I wonder how she looks when she blushes?'
Miroku didn't have to wait long. The host had brought out the string quartet and had scooted Miroku and Sango together.
"Now a love song for a beautiful couple!"
They began to play a romantic song and all eyes focused on the now red Sango and the grinning Miroku. To top it off the host began to sing in French, something along the lines of "A love for all eternity blah ,blah". Sango was very rusty with her French and stopped trying to translate the song.
"If we stick together we can get through this." Miroku whispered in her ear. Something about is mock seriousness made Sango laugh hysterically.
"Right, do you think if we got Inuyasha to pretend to choke on something they'll stop?" Sango said in between quiet giggles.
"Worth a try, how about we kick him instead?" Miroku responded.
Miroku slouched a bit and extended his legs under the table. He kicked Inuyasha who looked up. The sight of Inuyasha's stunned face made Sango laugh even more. Kagome soon caught on to the game and kicked Sango in the shin. Before long the whole table was having a contest of who could cause the most damage without getting caught. As the second song came to a close the restaurant clapped and a man with roses came and handed the girls a flower each. What was supposed to be a romantic moment had turned into battle and by the looks of it Miroku and Sango had won, Kagome and Inuyasha's limps had made that clear.
**************************************************************************
The group had decided to go dancing afterward. They arrived at a club and much to Miroku's relief they had not gotten a noticeable welcome.
"Want anything to drink?" Miroku asked the group.
He took their orders and walked to the bar, followed by Inuyasha. Seeing that the guys were gone Kagome began to question Sango about her date.
"So? Do you like him?" She asked loudly
"Huh?"
"I said do you like him?!" Kagome said over the music
"Huh?"
"I know you can hear me! Answer the question!"
"Fine." Sango was trying to avoid it but was found out, " He's nice."
Kagome pulled Sango into quiet corner.
"He's nice, is that it?" Kagome said shocked
"Yeah, what were you expecting?"
"Well the way you two have been laughing and whispering I expected something better than 'he's nice'."
"What can I say?"
"How about the way he's dressed or his manners or his looks?"
"Nice, nice and nice."
" Sango you're impossible." Kagome said in a defeated tone
"I know." Sango returned the wink from before as she said this.
********************************************************
"So Inuyasha having fun?" Miroku was desperate for conversation
"Sure."
"Are you going to ask me about my date with Sango?"
"Why should I care?"
"Because she's your friend." Miroku stated
"I'm not worried, she can handle a perv like you."
"Really? I haven't done anything perverted yet."
"And if you do, she'll be ready."
"Well I'll save that for later. For now I'm a gentleman."
Miroku had misinterpreted Inuyasha's comment. 'From the sound of it Sango should be very pleased with what I have planned for the end of the evening.' He thought as the familiar lecherous smile came to his face.
