Chapter 3

Sango flew into the kitchen and quickly busied herself with work. No matter what she did tonight she couldn't shake that handsome boy at the booth she was serving. He was handsome and charming, she'd give him that but she wasn't easily won over with flattery which he had been handing her all night.

Every time she went to the table tonight she could barely bring herself to loo at him. When she had gone to bring them their food tonight she almost dropped the plates on her way over to them because having eyes on her made her nervous, his especially. It was silly, there was nothing wrong with him, she was the problem.

Sango was a pretty girl, and she knew it but she lacked confidence in her own abilities to charm boys. Ever since she fell for that boy Miroku awhile back and he left her out in the rain without even giving her a chance, she'd been broken. She was so afraid of getting hurt, that she didn't let anybody in, and as charming as this blue eyed boy in the restaurant tonight was, she would never give him a chance, because she would never take a chance. She was a creature of habit and that wasn't about to change.

"Sango! Are you going to stand there looking out in to space all day? The nights almost over and you have tables to wrap up!" her manager snapped at her.

"Sorry sir!" Sango exclaimed, rushing out of the kitchen, she hated to disappointing people.

She looked around only to find that the restaurant was almost empty and there was only one table left with customers in her section, the four boys. She took a deep breath and headed over to the table. When she got there they were laughing at the rude bald headed one who looked un amused and agitated.

"Is there anything else I can get for you boys tonight, or would you like your bill?" Sango said as sweetly as she could muster. She was a friendly girl by nature, but she had to be nice and approachable to every customer at work, even if she didn't want to be if she wanted to keep her job, and she needed to.

"No I think we're ready for the bill." the oldest one smiled up at her.

"Okay, I'll be right back with it." She hurried to the kitchen and quickly returned to the booth with the bill. When she arrived she noticed that the handsome one was missing. Maybe he had left already, what a nice guy, leaving his friends to pay the bill! Sango quickly thanked herself for not being a stupid girl who feel for every pretty boy.

They had tipped her good, and she thanked them with a smile. Before she knew it they were gone and she was officially finished with customers for the night. She sighed then went to grab the cleaning tools so she could clean the tables In her section then head home. She passed the bathroom on her way to the closet just as the door opened to the boys bathroom and she walked right into none other than the handsome boy.

"I'm sorry." She stepped back looking away from him.

"That's twice today." He smirked at her. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were doing it on purpose."

"Good thing you know better then." She replied smartly, and for the first time tonight she looked right into his eyes. She quickly understood why she didn't want to before that moment, he had the prettiest eyes she had ever seen, they were a piercing blue color that you could easily get lost in. She didn't notice she was staring until he gave her a crooked smile and she quickly looked away.

"I never really got a chance to introduce myself earlier, my name is Bankotsu and I'm new to town. Your name is Sango right?"

"Yea, nice too meet you." She smiled politely without wanting to look to interested.

"Have you lived here awhile?" he mused.

"My whole life." She replied.

"Oh yea? You must know all the good places around here then. Maybe sometime soon you could show me around a bit." He gave her a charming smile as if he had so much confidence in his proposal.

"I'm sorry, I work a lot." Was all she offered him. She felt bad. She didn't want to seem rude, but she didn't want to lead him on either. She wasn't looking for a relationship, especially with someone she didn't know anything about. She'd never give him a chance because that's how she was, she silently cursed herself for throwing up more walls. It wasn't like she wanted too, but she couldn't help it, that's just how she was.

However Bankotsu didn't seem to disappointed by her answer. He still looked at her with all of the determination in the world. He loved the chase, and he could see that this was going to be one hell of a ride.

"Do you work tomorrow?" he asked.

"Yea?" she asked confused.

"Well I'll be back here tomorrow then." He gave her one last smile and lightly brushed passed her on his way out of the restaurant. Before she knew it she heard the bell of the front door ding as he left and he was gone.

Sango was left there uncontrollably blushing. No one had ever shown this much interest in her before, she didn't know what to think. A part of her felt very uncomfortable with the idea of letting someone get close, but another part felt as if it had been dusted off and for the first time in a while, she was excited about a boy.
