Sweet Desserts...
The two weeks have flown by pretty quickly, my wrist has healed, a few more kisses have passed between Sesshoumaru and I (Ok, like 2, but still, it's more than I've ever had before). Sango's plane arrives in 15 minutes and Miroku has no idea that she is here. The only change of plans is that instead of just Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Sango and I, we also had to invite Kouga, Ayame and Inuyasha, but the more the merrier right?
"Flight GH375 from Okinawa has just arrived. Luggage pick up will be at circle 4."
"That's Sango's flight, come on Sesshoumaru, let's go meet her." Grabbing Sesshoumaru's arm I drag him along behind me through the thick crowd to the luggage pick up station.
"You're taller than me Sesshoumaru, can you see her anywhere?" I look at him, "She has bright pink suitcases if that helps."
Shaking his head he looks around, "Hn…..Not yet, maybe she hasn't…oh wait, is that her over there? The sent smells familiar."
I turn to look where he is pointing and it takes me a minute, but I finally see her still waiting for her luggage. We walk over and when she finally sees me, she turns excitedly to give me a hug.
"I can't believe I am actually here in Tokyo again, and to top it off, I will be cooking tonight for Miroku!" She resists the urge to jump, "He still doesn't know I'm coming right?"
"Sango, he has no clue. Neither does anyone else actually." I can tell she is a bit confused. "You see, we couldn't just invite him over, so Inuyasha, Kouga and Ayame are coming over as well, but don't worry, I got plenty of the ingredients you told me to get."
"Oh right," she says, "well that should be no problem, it is, after all, only two more people than I used to cook for while we were here."
"Great, come on, here come your bags, grab them and we'll take you to our house so that you can freshen up and relax before we start cooking."
Walking slightly behind Sesshoumaru Sango grabs my arm and leans into me, "So it's 'our' house now is it, does that mean you sleep together?"
"No it doesn't mean that……and butt out will ya?" I laugh, "I'll let you know when anything happens, I promise okay, now just drop it."
She smiles, "Okay, I'll drop it, but if I find out that you are hiding anything from me, you are so dead. Deal?"
"Fine Sango," I reach my hand out to shake, "it's a deal."
The day passed pretty quickly and before I knew it both Sango and I were in the kitchen starting to prepare dinner. Sesshoumaru was waiting in the living room with strict orders that he was to get all of the guests into the dining room without seeing Sango. She and I had thought long and hard about our menu and finally decided on a three course supper, home made Miso soup, Oden and, for dessert, Ichigo Daifuku.
Everything was almost ready when the doorbell rang. I pushed Sango into a corner, out of sight, as I went to greet everyone. Fortunately they all arrived at the same time so we only had to sneak them past once.
"Good timing everyone," I say as I greet Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga and Ayame with hugs, "Dinner is almost ready so if you will please make your way to the dining room."
"It smells great Kagome," exclaimed Inuyasha.
"Yeah, I can't wait to chow down," added Miroku.
"If all your food is as good as it smells, I'll have to stay away or you'll make me fat," laughed Kouga and Ayame just shook her head and gave me a smile as they made their way to the dining room.
Running back into the kitchen I see Sango stirring the soup one last time before dishing it out into bowls.
"Okay, I'm going to serve the soup and then when the main course is coming out, you are going to help me right?"
Sango nods her head, "yeah sounds good to me."
"Great," I start to walk out the door with the tray and then pop my head back through the door, "Oh by the way, I'm going to mess with Miroku a bit before you come in okay?"
She smirks and nods her head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wow Kagome, that was great, and to think that that was just the starter, I so cannot wait for the main course." Miroku sat back patting his stomach happily
'Oh this is just too good to pass up.' "So, Miroku, how are things going with Sango?"
His face fell a bit, "Not too well actually, we hardly ever get to talk."
"Oh, that's too bad; hopefully you'll get a chance to talk more soon." It is so hard for me to hide my smirk. "What about you Inuyasha, are you and Kikyo still hitting it off?"
He smiles "Yeah, she and I talk all the time, hopefully I'll get her to come over to visit sometime soon."
"Yeah," I smile, "That would be great, oh wait, I think I just heard the bell signaling the main course."
Kouga pipes in, "Hey Kagome, you're a really good cook, you should give lessons or something."
Now's my chance, "Actually Kouga, I had a bit of help tonight, someone is actually teaching me how to cook."
"What, surely it can't be Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha exclaims while watching Sesshoumaru pour the wine, "He's a rubbish cook!"
We all laugh, "No Inuyasha, it's not Sesshoumaru, but it is someone you all know, hang on, I'll get them to come in here to join us for the main course. Oh and Sesshoumaru, just water for me and the guest okay?"
A little bit later I walk back into the dining room, "Lady and Gentlemen, I proudly present my teacher and tonight's culinary chef, Sango Tora."
She walked into the room carrying the second tray of food and as she entered, Miroku's jaw almost literally hits the floor.
After everyone finally got over their shock, Sango took a seat next to Miroku, and we enjoyed our dinner. The conversations were flowing all over the room, and when dessert was served, everyone was in good spirits.
"So Sango , when did you arrive in town?" asks Ayame, "Miroku has been talking about you for some time."
"I actually arrived this morning and it was Kagome's idea to surprise you all."
"Well," Miroku interrupts, "it certainly is a surprise, but I am glad that you are here, we can actually get to know one another now."
"Looking forward to it Miroku," Sango smiles.
'Uh oh, she has that gleam in her eyes; I can almost predict what will happen soon if not tonight.'
"Well, this has been a great evening, but we have to head." Said Kouga
"Yeah," Inuyasha nods, "I am beat."
"Okay guys, I'll see you later." I say as I walk them to the door.
Turning around, I notice Sango approaching me with a smile and I just know that she won't be staying the night with me.
"Okay, what do you want, though I can pretty much guess." I smirk.
"Well, Miroku asked me to accompany him to his house so that we could continue talking."
"Right," I laugh, "So that's what he's calling it now?"
"Oh shut up, I'm just getting out of your house so that you are free to jump Sesshoumaru if you want"
"Sango, not so loud," I look around to see who is listening, "I'm not as free spirited as you or as fast moving as Miroku, you know?"
"I know, but it's fun to mess with you."
"Whatever, get out of here you, and don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Then nothing would happen and there would be no point of going."
I laugh and push her out the door with Miroku, "Go, call me in the morning."
Smirking she speaks over her shoulder, "That's depending on whether or not I have the energy to get up in the morning right?"
"Right...didn't need to know that, goodnight." I lock the door.
Turning around I meet Sesshoumaru, "well that was a fun night wasn't it?" he asks as he brings me into a hug.
"Oh it sooo was, I'm just sad that I will never be able to do that again." I lean up towards him and give him a quick kiss. "Good night Sesshoumaru." I spin out of his arms and then up to get ready for bed.
Author's Corner
-Okay, I know that Sango is more like Miroku in this version, but again, the characters have personalities created by me (and based off of people I know) so that is that. Also, I'm gonna try and keep track of Japanese words and their meanings….so if you see something and you don't know what it is, feel free to ask….here's some for this chapter…
Ichigo Daifuku- Japanese sweet cakes with strawberry and anko (sweet red bean paste) fillings
Tora- Tiger (I thought it appropriate since Sango is such a fighter in the original)
Miroku-Now that was a pleasant surprise…but not as great as what I'm gonna get tonight
*SLAP*
Sango- You Hentai…..you wish….this is fiction, you do realize that right!
Miroku- Yes, well, I'll just enjoy it while I can
Kagome, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha- Ame! What are you doing?
Ame- You'll see, all in good time….now, stop talking and let the readers review…..so I know what they think.
