"Chapter 1: You're Engaged

In his childish mind he wasn't able to fully comprehend what his mother was saying. He's just nodding his head hoping that his mother would finish soon and let him go. He still hadn't been able to show Sango his new deck of cards and he's also praying that he would be able to get another one point over her. They had a competition between themselves on how strong their deck of cards were. And based on the counts, he just one upped her last week. He knew she also bought another deck so he also knew it would be a good fight.

"Do you get what I am saying, Miroku?" His mother asked and he smiled at her which only made her snort at him.

"I blame your side of the family," his mother told his father who was busy reading the newspaper.

His father smiled down at him and bopped him on the head. "Sango's engaged to you now."

"What?" He asked eloquently. He didn't know what the word meant and though others keep on saying he's bright for his age, he hasn't even heard that word before.

His mother then grabbed his shoulder and he listened more carefully. His mother would be able to explain what that word meant. He knew it doesn't mean friend. The word was much too complicated and he would like to see the meaning of it on a dictionary but he also doesn't know its spelling so he relied to his mother. "That means, dear, that in the future Sango-chan would be your wife."
