Mr Perfect – Part Seven:
Prior Engagement
The Last
time I saw you
You were
standing by his side
The last
time you saw me
Was in a
crumbled photograph that missed the bin!
He loves
you? Who loves you more?
To Let you
go
He loves
you? Who loves you more?
To let you
go
"Ha HA!" Miroku
grinned, finishing off the song with a crash on the symbols. Only parts of the
song were written, but he was feeling pretty good about it. He'd written it a
few days ago after the dinner incident. Miroku hadn't
had such an urge to write in a long time, not since his father passed
all those years ago. It must have something to do with the way Sango looked at that guy so adoringly. Not that Miroku was jealous or anything... But what was his name
again? Kur....Kuranma? Kurasuke?
Oh.... Yeah.....Kuranosuke... Stupid
prick. Once again... Not like he was jealous...
"That was GREAT Miroku!" Rin squealed from her place beside Sesshoumaru.
She'd been around a lot more often and Sesshoumaru
was a lot more less heartless because of it. (A/N: did
you catch that? O.o) Rin's
cheerfulness was helping out everyone.
"Thanks Rin-chan." Miroku smiled
sheepishly. He wasn't used to being the center of attention. Normally, he left
that for Inuyasha and Koga to fight over. Even so, it
felt kinda cool.
"When are
you expecting to finish it?" Sesshoumaru as, absolutely no emotion existing in his voice, as usual.
"Um... I dunno. Why?"
Sesshoumaru shrugged, standing to his feet. "Because I think
you've just started a single. Let's go Rin, I have a phone call to make."
"All
right Sesshoumaru." Rin
smiled, giving Miroku a thumbs-up before leaving with
the manager. Miroku stood, looking after them, dazed.
Sesshoumaru rarely gave praise and took months to decide if a song was good enough to be put on a
record, let alone be a single! He's hit the jackpot! Now all Miroku had to do was finish the song....and with the lack
of inspiration he held now....
'Damnit'
"Hey Miroku!"
'huh?' "Oh, hey Inuyasha"
"Yo, you looked shocked. What's up?"
"Nothing."
"Good!
Then you can come with me! I'm hungry so I wanna go
get some food."
"So why
do I have to go?" Miroku asked, never the less,
retrieving his coat from a chair.
"'Cause
if I'm gonna get mobbed, I'm not gettin
mobbed alone."
"....Fine"
"You
don't have to worry about getting mobbed, because you both have prior
engagements to attend." Sesshoumaru said coolly,
entering through the door.
"What do
you mean, 'Prior engagement'?" Inuyasha glared. Sesshoumaru was forever torturing his younger half-brother
by scheduling him and the rest of the band for random events. Normally without
even telling them until they had climbed into the car.
"Okay,
what is it this time Sesshoumaru? Mall
concert? Autographs? Kiddie Convention?" Inuyasha asked, shuddering at the last thought.
"As much
as it would please me to see you cringe at the proximity of so many children
dear brother, it is none of which you have mentioned."
"Then?"
"You, Inuyasha, have a date. While Miroku
here has a meeting. Dress for the occasion Inuyasha,
you will be eating at Sengoku Jidai (A/N: is anyone
else noticing this pattern in my stories?). Miroku,
this is a casual meeting. The address is posted on your door."
It took a few
moments for this to register in the two's heads. When it did... shall we say...
21 Questions?
"Date?!"
"MEETING?!"
"With Who?"
"How come he gets to go on a date?!"
"Why the
Fu-"
"I wanna go on a date!"
"What the
hell is you your head?!"
"I'd much
rather go on a date then to a meeting"
"Well I'd
rather go to a meeting!"
"Is she
cute?"
"SHUT UP!
Both of you before I send you off with Koga and Shippou!"
"And Where are they going?" Inuyasha
asked, looking for almost any kind of escape. "Let me guess, they're
getting married?"
"Actually no." Sesshoumaru said,
smirking. "They're going to the Kiddie
Convention."
". . . I
think I wanna-"
"Inuyasha you are going on this date even if I have to drag
you there myself. And Trust me... I won't be gentle."

"Hey Kag."
"Sango! I was just getting
read, what's up?"
"Rin and Sesshoumaru just called.
They said they got reservations at Sengoku Jidai that
you and your date could use."
"Oh my god! Really?!"
"Yeah,
for 7:30, so you better hurry up."
"Oh! I've
always wanted to eat there! But how will this mystery guy know?"
"Sesshoumaru said he would inform him."
"Well...
that's strange. How does Sesshoumaru know about you
setting me up tonight?"
Sango pondered this for a while. It was a bit strange. She
didn't remember ever telling Sesshoumaru that Kagome
had a date for her job tonight. And if was even weirder that he would be able
to tell the date, a Mr. Tetsuia (A/N: e.e gimme a break here...) about
it. She had never actually gotten to talk to Mr. Tetsuia
though, a secretary was who she spoke to, sounding an
awful lot like Rin, now that Sango
thought about it.
"I don't
know, How does Sesshoumaru
know anything? We probably told Rin and she mentioned
it."
"Yes I
guess...... hey Sango! You want me to stop by real
quick so you can see my dress?"
Sango sighed on the other line, "You can't, I've got a meeting set
up with one of my clients. a Mr. Houriki
or something like that."
"oooooh, what's his profile?"
"22, Black hair, in the music industry." Sango
read off her papers bored. She never did like meetings,
they were always so boring and uneventful. Then again, she didn't get many
meetings with the people she set up and she'd normally talk to them on the
phone or something. "I suppose I should start to meet my clients more often...
might save me a lot of trouble."
"That's
what I've been telling you! Anyway, Houriki .... that sounds so familiar. I
could have sworn I've heard it before..."
"Yeah, I
know. I don't know, he is in the music
industry. Maybe you read an article on him, or we went to school. Something like that."
"I
guess...."
"Anyway,
have fun tonight Kag! I owe you one!"
"You owe
me many. Even if he turns out to be a prick, I'm eating at one of the best
restaurants in the country! It can't be all bad. "
Sango laughed, "Yup. Don't forget to call okay?"
"All right! I'm not a baby..."
"Could
have fooled me..."
"HEY!"
"I'm joking
Kag, I just want all the juicy details."
"Sango!"
"Ja ne!"
Sango hung up the phone, her smile slowly turning into a frown. She
didn't like having Kagome go on the dates for her, but she never objected. She
just hoped that everything would be all right. And that stupid name! Houriki ... where had she heard it before?
"Ms Hiraikotsu?
"huh? Yes Meimi?"
"Um...
Mr. Houriki is here."
"Okay,
send him up would you?"
"Aww...*giggle* Do I have to?"
*twitch* Okay,
now this may be understandable. Sango was sure now
that Mr. Houriki was a handsome fello, but Really! He couldn't be that
good looking. Meimi is engaged!
"What do
you mean 'Do I have to?" ?! Yes you have to,
that's what you're being paid for!"
Sango could hear Meimi sigh on the other line
and couldn't possibly miss the tint of jealousy and annoyance in her voice when
she stated icily "As You wish". Sango
stared at the speaker in shock. What he hell was so special about this guy
anyway? Meimi was engaged to Mr. December for Crying out loud!
Sango was still staring when a soft knock came at her door.
"Ms Hiraikotsu, May I come in?"
"Oh yes,
sure..." Sango called, sending one last glare
toward the speaker phone before sending her gaze to the man standing in her
doorway.
"Oh my
god...."
"Sango?!"
