Mr Perfect – Part Ten:
Cold, Colder, And Coldest
"Sesshoumaru.... What?"
"I
thought it might be nice to send the 'kids' off for a while." He grinned,
hopping down from the stage. He really was a lot like Inuyasha, only he held up his cold poseur. "So, what
do you think?"
Rin smiled and shook her head, "I think it's great..."
"Well
good. Come on, the food will get cold," Sesshoumaru
took Rin by the hand and lead her to the stairs.
"Food? You're going to feed me?"
"If
that's what you desire," Sesshoumaru replied,
winking suggestively. Rin bit her lip and stood on
her tip toes, giving Sesshoumaru a soft peck on the
lips.
"And what
if I desire something else?" She asked playfully. Sesshoumaru
raised an eyebrow.
"Then I
supposed I'll have to give it to you, won't I?"
Rin grinned like the Cheshire Cat, and
started to lead him. The opposite way of the food, mind you.
"If Miroku can wait, so can the food," She whispered,
giving him another kiss.
"Then the
food and Miroku can wait."
----------------------------------------
"I cannot
believe I have to wait." Miroku grumbled,
holding down the urge to smash his phone to bits. He'd tried calling Sesshoumaru at least ten different times, but received no
response save the voice mail. He'd left ten messages. The, getting desperate,
he tried to call Inuyasha. Well what do you know... Inuyasha's phone was off too!
What? Is everyone but Miroku getting something
tonight?! On top of all that, it was raining even harder! And, of course, there
was only a small balcony (if you could even call that ledge a balcony) above
him, leaving minimum space for Miroku to take refuge
under. Figures. Nothing could make this any
worst.
*zip*
Miroku frowned as the lights turned off, one by one. Soon enough, the
entire street was pitch black. The
only light being the lightning crashing down randomly. Okay, so it just
got worse. Oh, Sesshoumaru would pay...
----------------------------------------
" I cannot believe I had to pay" Kagome grumbled under
her breath and wringing out her now soaking wet hair in the bathroom sink.
Neither of them had brought a car, so, for some crazy unknown reason, Kagome
and Inuyasha walked to Wackmondalds.
And of course, as fate would have it, it started pouring ten minutes into their
'stroll'. The two arrived shivering, wet, and cold to the restaurant, only to
be mobbed by a group of raging fangirls! They barely
made it out alive from that one. And, with all the luck drowning Kagome today,
someone stole Inuyasha's money. He said it was
probably one of the fangirls. Figures.
Kagome, still
sulking, slid into the seat in front of her 'so-called-date.' He glanced at her
over his drink, looked back down to his food, then did
a double take.
"What?"
Kagome asked, suddenly self-conscious.
"You're
wet."
"I know, you are too."
"Yeah
but..." Inuyasha scratched the back of his head.
He took another look at Kagome, flushed, and went back to his food.
Kagome
narrowed her eyes and checked herself once over. She was wet... Okay, it was
raining. Of course she was wet, but why...
'Oh' Kagome
thought, looking down and realizing what he meant. Rain is... Cold. Can someone say 'Perky'? (A/N: come now, if you don't
get it now, that's pathetic....)
"Give me
your jacket." She commanded, red in the face. Inuyasha handed it over without question.
"So how
are we getting home?" She asked after making herself comfortable in the
jacket. It was way too big for her, but it was warm enough. It smelt
pretty good too. Kinda like nutmeg and coves... Does Inuyasha bake?!
"I dunno. Sesshoumaru was supposed
to pick me up."
"And?"
Inuyasha shrugged, stuffing his mouth with more fries.
"Oh my
god, you're a pig!"
"Nooo... I'm a dog."
"That
would explain the smell..."
----------------------------------------
'Great, just
great" Sango fumed, kicking the car door. She
locked her keys inside. Now she'd have to walk. In the rain.
Alone. *sigh* At least there's still the street-
*zip*
Okay then! In the rain, alone, and in the dark. The night just keeps
getting better and better. Oh well, at least it wasn't too far.
A quiet cough
made Sango jump.
'Who the
hell would be out so late?'
"Who's
there?" She asked, immediately slapping herself afterwards. Who's there... What kind of molester would answer that?! And now they'd
know it was a girl. Dammit!
"Sango?" A voice asked
questioning.
Sango blinked, "Miroku? What are you
doing? I thought you'd left hours ago..."
"My ride
never came. Where are you? I can't see..." He asked, fumbling to find her.
"I'm
over- Watch it!" Sango yelled, feeling his hand
brush against her chest. 'Damn, even in the dark he gropes...'
"I didn't
mean it, I swear!" He amended quickly. He held his hands up in surrender,
even if neither of them could see. Still, he was smiling like a fool, and Sango knew it.
"I'm
sure," She grumbled, wiping the rain off her face. "Did you get a
hold of anybody?"
"No, but
that's okay, I'll just walk back."
Sango's mouth dropped open, "But Miroku...
You're staying at least five miles away!" She saw him shrug. It was easier
now to see, since her eyes got adjusted, "Miroku,
you can't walk home," She sighed.
"Yes I
can."
"No, you
can't." She sighed again, pushing her hair behind her ear, "Look, I
live about two blocks away. You can call a cab from there, okay?"
"Why Sango! Are you inviting me
home? I never would have guessed you were that fast!"
"Shut up,
or would you rather be left sick in the rain all night?"
Miroku shook his head, knowing Sango would
allow that too. He reached out his hand to 'find' her again, but she
intercepted, taking his hand in hers, "Let's go."
. . .
"You're
cold."
"You're
colder."
. . .
"Want me
to warm you up?"
"No."
"Will you
warm me up?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Are you
positive?"
"Yes."
"Are you
absolutely positively sure?"
"Miroku!"

Yeah, happy
holiday's everyone. I hope it all good. This is the beginning of my holiday
updates. I'm pissed though! I had most of the new chapters for Snicker Doodles
and Wishing on a Star done, and what do you know... I forgot them in my locker.
DAMMIT! *sigh* No, this is no way to feel the day before Christmas. Let me know
what you all got! XD I'll do the same.

birthday, not really, but who cares, whoot whoot! Counselor? O.o I never would have thought..... Yeah, sorry You don't get to see what happens between 'em yet. ^_^ soon though. I'll try
to make it fluffy, I promise. I'm not too sure what'll happen with inu and kag yet... I'll think of
it later ^_^; and yeah, M/S Matters
DemonSlayerGirl: Thank-a-you! And no, nothing good happens on
Wednesdays.... It's not fair. And I have no idea when I figured this out -.-;
probably when I didn't turn in 3 projects on the same day... It was a Wednesday
Maura: Yes yes
you did *sighs* v.v; and I thought I was being sneaky
too *cough*not*cough* Of course they get kicked outta
the restaurant! I couldn't have it any other way! And of course Miroku gropes... He wouldn't be our lovable Miroku if he didn't XD He even gropes in the dark! Yes yes, the rain's making them stay together! All hail the
rain! BWUAH!
Neoshipper: EE! I've missed you o.o
You're reviews haven't been here lately and I was all sad ;-; But it's okay now
^_^ You've made your appearance. YAY!
Sadi: Sadi, Sadi
my dear, have you so little faith in me? Really, would I leave Miroku out in the rain for long? NEVAH! It's all part of a
bigger plan, let me assure you. Yeah, it's mean, but it gets him and Sango together. And R/S have dinner...

something a little more fun ^_~ *gods, I'm a pervert....* I was kinda thinking she'd work in a bar or something o.O but psychiatrist would be cool... ^_^ I know nothing
