Hope you enjoy! -Ash
"Happy birthday, Miroku!" Sango handed a slip of paper to the startled monk, beaming.
"What's this?" Miroku fingered the paper in his hand gingerly, as if expecting a spell or seal at any moment to erupt around him.
"It was Kagome's idea." Sango blushed prettily. She had wanted to give Miroku something different, and Kagome had suggested an idea from her time. "It's a coo-pon, she says, for anything that you want—we can get you a bottle of sake or...anything!"
The corner of his mouth twitched and her excitement faded. She knew that look.
She narrowed her eyes as he handed the paper back to her. "I think I'll use it now."
"Oh? And what is your birthday wish?"
He smiled, slow and languorous. "A kiss."
She sputtered, her mouth moving but not forming coherent words as she shook her head, backing away. Before she could escape, he was beside her.
"A kiss, Sango. It's not so much." He caught her hand before she could flee and pulled her to him. Soft lips touched her burning cheek, strong arms then released her.
As he picked up his staff and walked away humming, only one thought crossed her mind.
That's………it?
