Chapter Eighteen: Phenomena

Sango trudged downstairs and yawned widely. She went into the kitchen and started boiling herself some hot cocoa. She sat at the table and and put her hands on her forehead. She felt like she had a hangover. She was pretty sure that she hadn't had any alcohol though. Actually, last night had been quite pleasant. Now that she recalled, she had had a great time. Hopefully she would be able to see Miroku again. Kagome suddenly walked into the kitchen and sat down across from her.

"Good morning," Kagome said cheerfully.

"Morning," Sango replied.

"So...," Kagome nudged.

"What?" Sango asked.

"How was your date!"

"Oh, it was nice."

"Nice? Did you kiss?"

"No! We didn't kiss," Sango said standing up.

"Don't say it like that, I'm sure he wanted to."

"Uh huh," Sango said while pouring the cocoa into the water.

"I'm serious! I'm really surprised he didn't," Kagome said.

Sango rolled her eyes jokingly. She waited for the cocoa to finish and poured two cups of it, giving one to Kagome. Maybe he did want to kiss her. In all honesty, she had wanted to kiss him too. But she didn't like being forward or too fast. She thought that always made her look like such a fool. She just had to wait. Moving along in a relationship was typically something she couldn't do. She just wasn't good at it.

"So what about you and Inuyasha when you left?"

"Oh nothing really."

"Your such a liar."

"We just watched a movie and cuddled."

"Sounds like something."

"Yeah, I enjoyed it."

"You guy's need to get together already!"

"Agh, I don't think we ever will," Kagome admitted.

"I doubt that, he really likes you."

"Maybe we should invite him and Miroku," Kagome suggested.

"Sure but I'm going to go take a shower," Sango quickly said.

She rushed away from the table and hurried upstairs. Kagome shook her head and finished her hot cocoa. It would be nice to be Inuyasha's girlfriend. She was confident that she knew him inside and out like a book. Kagome finally made the calls and soon they would be on their way. Upstairs, Sango took her shower and got dressed in a red long sleeve shirt, clean blue jeans, and some brown uggs. She put on her make-up, brushed her hair, and went back downstairs. Now it was 11:00 a.m. and Kagome was getting ready.

Sango was excited. She didn't realize how nervous or happy she could get by Miroku simply coming over. She even felt butterflies swarming around in her stomach. She felt like a little girl. Would Miroku share the same anxiety? After minutes of waiting, Sango heard the doorbell. She answered it and let Inuyasha in. She looked around but didn't see Miroku. She shut the door and went into the living room. She stood gazing outside while Kagome made her way in. Inuyasha looked up and smiled. She smiled back and sat down next to him. Inuyasha stretched his arm out and then put it around her. She smiled again and leaned closer to him. The bell rang again and Sango went to answer the door. Luckily, this time it was Miroku. He stood beaming and walked in. Sango softly shut the door and turned around. He waited for her and then went into the living room. They sat down on the comfy chairs next to each other and then they all looked around at each other.

"So what do you guy's wanna do?" Kagome asked.

"Movie?" Miroku asked.

"Sure. Do you want to?" Kagome asked Inuyasha and Sango.

"Yeah," they both said.

Kagome got up and got a movie. Sango went into the front closet and brought everyone a blanket. She laid donw on her stomach on the floor with the blanket pulled around her and waited for the movie. Miroku also went to the floor and laid down next to her. Kagome shut the light off and closed the blinds before sitting next to Inuyasha again. Sango glanced over at Miroku quickly. She liked looking at him. Throughout the movie they were both stealing glances at each other. Sango scooted over to him and pretended she didn't. Miroku smiled and he put his blanket around her too. Sango looked at him and leaned her head against his shoulder. Okay, she could get the hang of this romantic feeling she had.
