Beatrix B.: Thanks! I loved writing that part!

KIO: Glad you find it amusing. I live to please!

Nessa03: Yeah, I thought it would be a fun thing to do. Couldn't take the pervert out of the man.

Serenedy: Thank you for reviewing! I love reviewers!

YoukaiTajaiyaSango: Love the name, and thank you, too.

rose19: Hope you are still tuned in! (Finally an easy name. Lol.)

phoebe: Did I trick you? Hehe, no one knew.

Angel-Aurora: Mine, too. Can't watch the episodes or movie without giggling when they have a moment.

Thank you for all of your reviews. Man, I hope I got everyone. I need to start doing this 'talk to the reviewer' thing. Never paid attention before. Yes, I know this story is coming out very swiftly, but this is my school break, so I'm really bored during the days. Please enjoy this chapter, for this is when the real feeling show.


Chapter Six: Day of Fun! And Love?

Miroku tied the scarf around Shippo's neck, laughing at his brother's protests. "Get off! That's too tight!"

"Shaddap! You're starting to sound like Rin!" Inuyasha shouted, hitting the red headed boy on the head. Sango and Kagome giggled as they too put on their winter wear. Sango slid into her huge winter coat that fell past her knees and her boots that came up to her knees. Both were black and leather.

Miroku smiled at her, that girl with brownish black hair, dark eyes, skin so beautiful. She was the one girl he had always wanted to be with. Ever since that day at the park, when he had first realized that girls weren't cootie covered. The first day he had looked at Kagome and Inuyasha and realized he wanted what they had.

He realized on the day at the hospital that he could never be with her. Her time was taken up, now. Work, school, meetings for Kohaku, home time, free time and sleep? No, she was all about with no time for boyfriends. Maybe in a few years, after she got a higher paying job after high school, middle of college. But now she didn't have time to waste on him or any man.

Doubts came flooding to him at the thought of wasting his own time getting her. Other men? What if she found someone before he found the 'right time' to ask her out? She still had weekends. She was mostly free on weekends.

Damn, maybe I should stop thinking all together, he thought, making himself sigh. I can't stop thinking!

He looked at the hand that suddenly appeared on his shoulder. He looked up into Kagome's eyes. She smiled and offered a hand. "Sitting in the snow won't help you, Miroku."

Miroku blushed and scratched the back of his head. "So right, you are, Kagome!" he said, laughing as he took her hand and stood. "Guess my mind wanders a lot."

"Yeah," she agreed, tying his scarf. "It happens to the best of us."

A loud, echoing scream then laughter floated to the pair and they turned to see Inuyasha, under Sango, Shippo, Rin and Kohaku. "Hey! That's my foot!" The silver haired boy yelled, swinging his fists at random, but being careful not to hit any of them. "Shippo! No! Don't!"

He broke off laughing as Miroku's brother began biting his foot! It must have tickled or something, because Inuyasha was laughing so hard he was in tears. Kohaku was tickling the other foot, and Sango was pulling his hair with one hand, her other tickling his side. "I think we have him!" She yelled to the struggling boy's girlfriend.

"Good!" She called back, laughing herself. When she turned back to him, all laughter was gone. "Are you going to ask her out, or not?"

Miroku looked at her and surprise was an understatement for the shock of her question. "What?"

"Are you going to . . ."

"I heard you. I haven't really thought about how or when, just that I'd like to. Is that good enough?"

"No."

"Too bad." He took her arm and they walked together to the lump of people on the snow-covered ground. He poked Inuyasha with his foot and then said, "He looks well done to me. Good job gang!"

Sango and the others got off the poor boy and stood in a line, trying to hold back smiles. Miroku clasped hands behind his back and stood up straight, like a drill sergeant. "Now, you have accomplished task one 'Overtaking the Enemy', but can you hold up to the pressure of going to an amusement park?"

"Sir yes, sir!" They yelled, trying, again, to hold in giggles.

"And do you each have the documents of 'Parent Sign'?"

"Sir . . .Yes . . .Sir!" It was too much for Rin, for she doubled over, giggling and rolling around.

"Give me twenty!" Miroku tried to get out before he, too, fell to the giggles.

"Ok!" Kagome said, clapping her hands. "My group, to car 1. Miroku's group, to car 2. And be careful not to make too much trouble at the park!" She looked each in the eye before yelling. "Go, go, go!"

They ran! Inuyasha, Kagome, Souta and Rin ran to Kagome's car. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kohaku ran to Miroku's. Within the hour they were inside the amusement park, ready for a day of excitement and fun!


Miroku and Sango sat on a bench across from the 'Flinger Thinger', a ride neither of them were willing to try as it took you around three times, flung you into the air, brought you back down, then repeated the trip twice more. Miroku held in his hands his favorite candy bar, eating it slowly as he always did, with a ramune soda in the other. Sango sat eating cotton candy, smiling when Miroku reached over and offered her a bite of his candy bar as he bit into her fluffy treat.

They had shared that kind of relationship since the sixth grade. He always offered her a bite as he took one. She smiled at the memory of the first time they had shared food. They had all sat together in the lunchroom, eating random things of each other's lunches the others didn't want. Suddenly Miroku had asked if he could try her sandwich. She had been about to cut a piece off when he leaned over and bit in.

Since, almost every time he had something she wanted to try, or visa versa, she would try it directly. It made her want to giggle inside, but she only smiled.

"I cannot believe Inuyasha and Kagome went on that thing." He mumbled, looking skeptically at the Flinger. Sango chuckled and pointed.

"I think I see Inuyasha." He looked and laughed as the silver hair flung around.

"Well, I know that's Kagome screaming." They both chuckled as they heard her scream echo off the metal ride and stone-paved ground.

Sango smiled and took a drink of his soda. He offered her the rest, but they decided on sharing the last of it. Miroku looked at the empty bottle and shrugged. "One more for my collection."

"How many do you have now? Weren't you at two twenty last month?"

He nodded and said, "Yep. Two years of drinking ramune and all I'm rewarded is a stack of glass in my room. This," he said, holding up the glass bottle. "Is two ninety-nine. One more and I'll have an even three hundred."

"Your goal is six hundred."

He sighed and tossed the bottle into the bag that held his new 'Welcome This!' T-shirt inside. "So close . . ."

"Hardly!" She retorted, laughing when he sighed again.

"Crush my dreams" he yelled dramatically, throwing an arm over his eyes and turning away. She slowly put a piece of cotton candy in his hair. When he turned back, it stuck. "Anyway . . .Do you want anything else to eat?" When she shook her head, he noticed a smile. "What?"

"Oh, nothing." She mumbled, pointing out the small group walking towards them. "There they are. Let's go. Still have half the park to destroy."


It was nearly ten thirty as the group piled back into their cars, the kids falling asleep almost instantly. Sango smiled back at the two boys riding in the back. They were leaned against each other, back to back, holding their prizes and sleeping soundly.

She turned back to face the front of the car when she noticed Miroku looking at her when they reached a stoplight. "What?" she asked.

He smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. Just that every time you look at him, you have this really beautiful smile. It just struck me."

Beautiful? Really? She watched him a while as they drove onto the highway. He had never said anything about beauty. It made something in her stomach flutter to hear. So, he thought her smile was beautifully? Why hadn't he said anything before? She wondered, turning away again. She felt that smile coming back.

Miroku shifted as he thought over what he had just said. Did I really admit to that? I haven't told her she was beautiful . . .Ever. I should.

At the same time, they paused. Wait! He had let it slip. That night at the Halloween dance . . .They blushed, not looking at each other, not even realizing they were on the same train of thought.

Two months, they thought. Two months and I never realized what had come past those lips of mine. Damn. Did she realize it then? Does she realize it now? A deeper blush when suddenly Sango broke the silence.

"Winter Ball is next week," she murmured.

"True," he murmured back.

Sango cleared her throat before words could cross. "I guess we'll see if the school likes my looks."

"Do you have a date?"

She shook her head, knowing where it lead and didn't try to stop him from saying . . . "Wanna go with me?"


FINALLY! I CAN GET THEM TOGETHER! (Caps button was stuck . . .)

Ok, review people. I only have one more day before . . .Dun dun dun! School is back in! Yelling can be heard from the Duck's bin at the pet store (No, Count D is a very nice owner, I think he is nice . . .)
