Thanks to those who have reviewed it means the world. Anyway, I was out of town this weekend so I'm playing catch up on the story. I really have nothing else to say so on with the story. : )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was seven thirty and Kuranosuke was late, Sango didn't mind though. She hadn't been home so she was happy to spend time watching TV and listening to music. It wasn't long after when she heard the keys in the door, and what stood out the most was the sound of arguing.
'That doesn't sound like Kagome and Inuyasha.' She thought
She was right, the door opened and Kagome, Inuyasha and whom she assumed was Kagome's cousin walked in. Actually Kagome's cousin was on Inuyasha's back.
"Inuyasha?"
"What?"
"Inuyasha"
"What?"
"Inuyasha?"
"What?"
"Inuyasha?"
"WHAT! WHAT!!!" He had finally snapped. Sango watched this slightly worried.
"Kagome, aren't you going to do something about them?" She asked
"No." She stated flatly, "I was worried the first two hours they were fighting but I got used to it."
"Oh."
Sango returned to the television, when the noise had started up again.
"STOP PULLING MY EARS!!!"
That definitely meant trouble. Sango turned around to see Kagome acting calm while Inuyasha went berserk.
"So Sango, what brings you home? I usually see you come in at 9:00." Kagome said
"Uh can we stop them first I can't really hear what you're saying." She said
"Actually let me introduce you to my cousin, Shippou."
Upon hearing his name he got off Inuyasha's back and ran to Kagome.
"Shippou, this is my best friend Sango."
"Hi Shippou." Sango held out her hand
"Hey Sango. Your pretty."
"Thanks, I think I'll like you ."
"Good, you can take him!" Inuyasha commented
"Inuyasha." Kagome looked at him through the corner of her eyes
"What, you were thinking it too." He shot back
"So Sango, do you want to play a game?" Shippou asked
'Not really.' She thought. Luckily she didn't have to answer, the doorbell rang and she knew it was Kuranosuke.
Kagome opened the door and sure enough, it was. Sango welcomed him in. Shippou followed closely behind her and much to Sango's horror Shippou started to make embarrassing comments, this was of course after she introduced the kid to him.
"So Kuranosuke, are you Sango's boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this she had immediately thought of ways to shut Shippou up, she was beginning to despise the kid.
"Yes I am." He responded, but before Sango could protest to his comment he continued, "you see I am a boy, and I am her friend."
Shippou laughed at the joke. Before embarrassing Sango further he went back to his systematic torture of Inuyasha.
"So should we go?" Sango asked
"Yeah." Kuranosuke said his good byes and the two were off.
'What a day,' Miroku thought as he headed home, 'At least tomorrow I have the day off.'
Just as this thought ended he remembered that he was supposed to take care of Kagome's cousin. He had hoped it wouldn't be that bad, something in his heart told him that maybe it might be fun. But then again how much fun could babysitting a six-year-old boy be? Maybe it would be better to quit. His mind then went back to his date a few weeks ago with Sango. He still couldn't get her out of his mind, it was becoming troubling. He couldn't add up where the date went wrong. He knew that the whole groping incident was the purpose for his beating, but according to the point scale it was the best move to make. Sango didn't fit the mold and he could help but feel attracted to the thought of piecing together that puzzle.
He entered his apartment and looked at his answering machine, there were 12 messages and he knew who had called, his stalker. He wanted to do something about her but he was to tired to do anything today, maybe tomorrow he would think of something. With the thoughts of tomorrow and Sango he feel asleep.

Through some stroke of luck Sango had managed to get the day off. Her visit to Kuranosuke's father had left her in a saddened mood, yet she felt happy to give him as much comfort as possible. It was nice to have some time off but she couldn't help thinking about the work she still had left to do. She pulled herself out of bed and had cereal, nothing could beat that. Yet couldn't get the guilty feeling out of her head, she was going to work, at least half day. It was a tug of war, go to work or not? She flashed back to Kuranosuke last night.

"Sango, it kills me to say this but it might be best for you not to go to work tomorrow." He said in a phony authoritative voice
"Why?" she asked laughing at his mock seriousness.
"Actually, I just think you've been working to hard. Everyone has at least taken some time off but you stay in late and come in early. Anyway I'm leaving out of town again on business and there is nothing to be done unless I approve, so it's perfect timing."
She had thought about it for a second and decided that maybe it was the best time, a day off wouldn't put her so far behind. " If you're sure it's fine I have no objections." She said
"Trust me, I have no objections." He said smiling.
"If you insist." Sango said smiling in return.

She had finally decided not to go to work, anyway maybe she could go to the gym, it had been a while since she had done any physical activity. She went to take a shower and as she was about to step in the doorbell rang.
'Horrible timing as usual!' She thought as she put on her robe.
She answered the door and to her shock Inuyasha was there.
"What?" She asked obviously annoyed
Inuyasha rushed into the apartment. "I need your help!" He said frantically
"It's kind of a bad time if you didn't notice." She said gesturing to her attire.
"Sango, we have all ways been good friends." Inuyasha started
"What are you up to?" She asked suspiciously
" I want, no, you're going to baby sit Kagome's cousin."
"Shippou? Oh yeah where is the kid?"
"He tortured me last night with all his questions! And today he woke me up at 7:00 in the morning!"
"Where is he now, assuming you didn't kill him last night."
"Playing hide and seek."
"With who?"
"With me! Who else?"
"Inuyasha your not there so how do you know if he's okay?"
"Um, I told him to count to a hundred."
"What! That's so irresponsible!"
"And that's exactly why you should take care of the kid instead of me!" He said trying to make a point.
" I have plans." She said trying to get out of baby-sitting
Inuyasha looked at her with a questionable expression
"What?" She asked
"You're lying." Inuyasha said
"No I have plans."
"Listen, I pay you back, name the price." Inuyasha pleaded
Sango enjoyed having Inuyasha beg. "I'll think about it, on second thought, I have plans."
"Fine, but when you need something I won't be there." Inuyasha got up and walked towards the door.
Sango watched him and called his bluff.
"Alright bye."
Inuyasha exited the apartment. Inside Sango counted down 3..2..1..
Inuyasha walked back in.
"Okay here's the deal. I buy groceries for the month."
"And laundry." Sango added
"Uh….fine."
"And you'll clean the apartment for a month too."
Inuyasha thought for a second and then shot back in protest. "That's unfair!"
"Is it now?" Sango tried to hold in her laughter
"Forget it! I'll get someone else." Inuyasha was about to walk out the door when it opened.
"Found you!" A triumphant Shippou walk in, "You can't hide form me Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha was horrified.
"So Inuyasha do we have a deal?" Sango asked in a sly voice
"Deal." Inuyasha was defeated but he couldn't help feeling happy, he would al least be able to enjoy his date with Kagome.
"So Inuyasha what's the next game?"
"Actually Shippou, Sango is going to be playing with you from now on."
"What, I thought you meant I was watching him tonight?"
"See ya Sango, Good luck." Inuyasha said in a laugh
"Uh? Inuyasha wait!" It was no use he was gone. 'I should have made him pay for gas money.' She thought
"So what are we going to do today? Got any games? What does Sango mean? Where do you work?" Shippou asked
'This is going to be a long day.' She thought
