"Next Saturday, I want a 10 page, typed, report on abnormal behaviors." Miroku announced, wondering if half his students even heard him. Most of the boys had fallen asleep in his class, and the girls just sat and giggled at him.
Sighing, he clicked off his projector and checked his watch. He had ended class early, at 4:30. Why? Because he wanted to get home and get ready for his date. Last night had really bugged him. She didn't even attempt to kiss him and he knew she could see he wanted to kiss her.
If all of his students could laugh and giggle over him, then why didn't she? Whoever her ex-boyfriend was, he must have been a real jerk to cause her to be so skittish. Of course, that didn't stop him from getting what he wanted, and right now, he wanted Sango Noriko.
"Hey, there, professor." A female voice called out to him and he whirled around, hoping it was Sango. But he knew it probably wasn't. And of course, when he turned around he was disappointed but still surprised to see that female voice belonged to his blond co-worker, Hayden.
"Oh, hey there. You scared me." He chuckled. "I…I didn't know you went here."
"I didn't know you worked here." Hayden said, giggling. "I've been here for a whole semester but I didn't see you until you came to work at the hospital."
Miroku gathered his jacket, trying to make a quick exit. "Probably because I never end class early." He said. "I have a strict policy about teaching all 5 hours."
"Oh." Hayden said, checking her watch. "So why not today?"
He shrugged. "Just not into it today, I guess." He said, trying to sound casual. Her crush on him so obvious and he didn't want to tell her it's because he had to get home and get ready to take her gorgeous co-worker out.
"Yea. I'm taking a dance class here, but I wasn't too much into it, either. I think it's the cloudy weather."
"That'll do it." Miroku continued walking down the hall, booking for the front door. He had to get away from her, she was driving him insane. The overly, fruity smell of her perfume made him feel like he was in 7th grade again.
"What are you doing tonight?" Hayden asked. He stopped, mid-step, and turned to face her. "I…I mean I was just wondering, because I'm not doing anything. I just…"
Miroku sighed and decided to come clean. "I…I uh…actually have a date tonight."
"Oh…" Hayden felt her heart sink. Didn't he just have a date last night with Sango? Or at least, that was the rumor that was going around last week at work. Hayden never knew anything, no one ever told her because she couldn't keep a secret, or she got too preoccupied with everyone else's social life that she didn't do her share of the work. It was a personality flaw, but she couldn't really help it.
Then, she took a chance. "With who?"
"Sango." Miroku replied. "I'm sorry, Hayden. I'll see you Monday."
"Yea…" She said, sighing and watched him walk out onto the busy streets of Tokyo. Her sadness slowly melded into anger, and her scorned heart made her hatch an evil plan.
"A carriage ride?" Sango asked, as a driver pulled up next to the curb outside her apartment.
"Yes." Miroku said, already inside the small carriage. "Don't you trust me? I figured we'd go on a little romantic tour." He held out his hand to help her inside. "Oh, Sango, this is my good friend Levi, Levi, this is Sango."
Levi, the driver, turned around and smiled offering his hand. Sango took it politely. "Pleased to meet you." He said.
Sango leaned back in her seat and she felt Miroku wrap his arm around her shoulders and pull her close. It was strangely a nice feeling, not like when the other men did it. When they did it, it either made her want to pull away or made her feel very uncomfortable. But with Miroku, it almost felt natural, like she belonged.
Levi urged to horse along and the large animal pulled them along.
"Levi's my friend from college. We were roommates." Miroku said.
"Yea, this one back there was wild back in the day. Different woman every week." Levi recalled laughing.
"Hey, I thought I told you to point out my good sides." He reminded him.
"Oh right." He said with a laugh. "Well he did make good grades, and he didn't always sleep with all of those women."
"Exactly."
"Just about 60% of them." He added.
Miroku looked over at Sango, who was surprisingly laughing at their little squabble.
"Hey, you see that house up ahead?" Levi asked as they rounded a corner. Tokyo was a busy city, but it also had it's dark, quiet, residential areas as well.
"Yea." Miroku said, wrapping a blanket around Sango to fight off the chill of the cold October air. "What about it?"
"That's the old crazy house." Levi said. "Didn't you say you worked in one of them now, Keseki?"
"Yea." Miroku said. "That's where I met Sango."
"I'm a nurse at the Tokyo Insane Asylum." She spoke up.
"Well, this house right here…" He stopped his horse and the large animal spit and stomped his hoof in frustration. The animal seemed almost uneasy in front of the large, ominous building. "…was the old insane asylum. I would tell you the story, but I don't want to scare your little girlfriend."
Sango blushed, then scowled. "I'm not his girlfriend, and I'm not scared." She half lied.
"Yea, we can handle it." Miroku urged. "Tell us."
"Well, they say back about 50 years ago that a man was committed to this institution after he slaughtered an entire village of their women." Levi began. "After three weeks in the asylum, one of the nurses came in to give him his medication, and he was gone."
Sango felt a chill as she pictured what kind of feeling that would invoke in her. Levi continued after a moment. "Do you know what happened to him?"
"He escaped?" Sango guessed.
"Worse." Levi replied. "He was released. He had an obsession with pretty girls. Pretty girls with long dark hair, brown eyes, girls that look a lot like you. He often barked like a dog while he devoured his victims in an animal-like manner."
Sango shivered. "Miroku, he's scaring me."
Miroku laughed. "Alright, dude. You're scaring her shitless. Take us to the restaurant please?" He urged, and Levi nudged his horse along. The horse seem to almost bolt ahead and Miroku winced at the pain in his neck.
"Geez, what's wrong with your horse?" Miroku asked, as they came back onto the main road.
"I don't think he liked that house." Levi said, trying his best to keep the animal calm.
Sango hugged the blanket tighter around her and peeked out of the side of the carriage. "Is…that all true?"
"It's a legend." Levi said. "Some say it's true, but there's really no record of it happening. Just a few mysterious murders back in the 50's. Since all the victims were young, brunette women someone came up with that crazy story to scare people." He laughed. "I simply tell it just because I like scaring people."
"Well, it worked." Sango said, bitterly. Miroku pulled her close to him.
"Don't worry, my dear. I won't let any ol' crazy lunatic get my girl." He teased.
Sango smiled at the thought of being his girl. It was something she could definitely get used to and she had even thought about it a lot over the past week.
Once again, the two were in front of her door. Miroku leaned against the doorframe and stared at her for a long moment. He had another chance to kiss her goodnight and she didn't seem as objectionable tonight.
Maybe the romantic carriage ride was a good idea, as Levi had pointed out to him. His stupid scary story didn't hurt either, it was just an excuse for him to pull her close and the cold October air was another circumstance he used to his advantage.
"I had a lot of fun tonight." Sango said, not sure of what else to say.
"Me too." Miroku said, propping an elbow on her front door. "Mind if I call you tomorrow?"
"No. I don't mind." Sango told him with a smile. "I'll actually be looking forward to it." She said, making no move to open the door, partially because Miroku had conveniently blocked the handle with his body. His wonderful, magnificent, hard male body. Sango had to bite her lip to keep from moaning just thinking about it.
Since when had she become to undeniably attracted to him?
"Good." Miroku said, leaning in closer to her until his face was just mere inches from hers. "Because I've been looking forward to this all night." He closed her space between them, his soft lips brushing hers in what he meant to be a brief kiss. But the sensations it invoked in him, didn't allow him to pull away so quickly.
He pushed her against the door gently and ran his tongue over her closed lips. She pulled onto his shirt, pushing her back harder against the door and parted her lips to allow him access. His fingers were intertwined in her hair as she felt him expertly caress her tongue and lips with his own.
She felt her knees grow weaker and weaker by the minute as she secretly felt him up over his clothes. She felt his arousal nudge her thigh and her eyes flew open. She really didn't know she excited him that much.
He pulled away from her, even more surprised than she was at the reaction his body was having. Not only was it embarrassing, especially for him, but it seemed to have frightened her. "Wow." He said simply. "Uh…" He un-tucked his dress shirt and let it fall over his groin area, as if to hide it, which worked for now.
"I…I better go inside." She said, knowing she was blushing like crazy.
"Yea, I better go before this goes too far for tonight." Miroku laughed, feeling slightly less embarrassed. It's not like his size was anything to be ashamed of after all, and he knew it too. "I'll call you tomorrow?"
"Yes." She said, with a smile. He leaned in to kiss her on the forehead. If he would have kissed her on the lips again, he didn't think he would be able to stop. Then, he turned around to walk back to his car.
"Uhm, Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Yes, love?" He asked, leaning against the hood of his car as he regarded her patiently. He was hoping she would invite him in, then again that probably wasn't going to happen. Sango was a nice girl and nice girls didn't do things like that.
"Do you think Levi's story was true?" Sango asked.
"Nah. I doubt it." Miroku said. "Levi's a dumbass. That's why he drives a horse around Tokyo and smells horseshit all night for a living."
She giggled and suddenly felt better. "Goodnight, Miroku."He was right, it was just some stupid legend after all. She waved to him, and he waved back, still trying to fight off that intense attack of lust. One he knew not even a cold shower was going to ward off.
"Night, Sango. Sleep tight!" He called out the window of his Camero, and sped off.
Sango's heart was still pounding as she stepped back into her apartment. Kohaku was playing his 360, sitting cross-legged on the couch. "Hey sis, have fun with your man?"
"He's not my man." Sango called out. "He's my friend."
"I don't kiss my friends like that." Kohaku said with an evil grin. "How'd his stomach taste?"
"Shut up, Kohaku!" Sango said, blushing. "I can't believe you were spying on us!"
"I'm a little brother. That's what little brother's do." Kohaku told her. "You should do that stuff in private if you don't want me to spy."
Her blush deepened and then she started to wander how far it would have gone if they were in private. She probably wouldn't have stopped even if she did feel that surprisingly large erection. Just thinking about his size made her entire body ache with need.
Damn, he was getting to her. Just like he wanted. And she was allowing it. He would hurt her, just like her ex-boyfriend Jayceon Taylor did. He took her virginity, dated her for 3 years, asked her to marry him, then just like that, went out to a nightclub and kissed another woman.
Miroku would probably do the same to her. In fact, he probably did it to some other woman in his past. Levi did say he had a new girlfriend every week back in college.
But something about the way he looked at her, held her, and kissed her made her want to trust him. It was different from the way Jayceon ever kissed her. It was slow, yet passionate. Gentle, yet hungry. Her heart had never pounded so fast and loud in her life.
Miroku Keseki had definitely gotten to her.
Sunday night, Sango's cell phone rang just as she was preparing for bed. She red the name on the screen and quickly answered, trying to sound cool and calm on the other end. "Hello?"
"Hey!" Miroku's cheerful voice sounded over the earpiece. "Hope I didn't wake you."
"No. I was awake." She said. "Just getting ready for bed."
"Yea, me too." He said, with a relaxed sigh. "I was laying in bed and I thought I should call and tell you goodnight and I'll see you in the morning."
"That's sweet, Miroku." She said, with a smile as she sat on her bed.
"You know what would really be sweet is if I can say that to you while laying beside you one night." He said. "Whisper it in your ear as I press my naked body against yours."
Sango heard her heart beat so loud she could barely hear anything else, despite how much she really liked him talking to her like that, she couldn't let him know she enjoyed it. "Too bad you won't ever get to experience that."
"Oh, I'm not so sure." He laughed.
Suddenly, her phone beeped. She looked at the screen and saw that Amber's number appeared "Oh, can you hold on for a second? I got another call."
"I'd wait all night if I had to."
Sango simply giggled and pressed the switch button. "Amber, I'm on the phone with the sexy doctor. What do you want?"
There was a pause on the other end. Then, much to her horror and very amused male voice came over the other end. "Uh, Sango, I don't think you switched over correctly." Miroku said, with a laugh.
Sango was so embarrassed she actually felt lightheaded, then like a complete idiot. "Oh…I…uh…I'm sorry." Then he line went silent. "Oh my god, Amber, you won't believe what I just did!"
"What did you just did?" Amber asked, munching on potato chips in Sango's ear, using incorrect grammar on purpose.
"I thought I was talking to you and I called Miroku 'sexy', but I was actually on the phone with him!" Sango told her, only to receive an appreciative laugh from her friend, 'The Bingo girl'.
"Oh, that's hilarious." She said laughing. "Yea, I saw him, he's a fucking hottie, but you know I've always liked that police officer, Nelly."
"Yes." Sango said. "I know. You talk about him constantly. You know, you should go and ask him out. I've already been on two dates with Miroku."
"No way." Amber said. "He probably likes Hayden or someone who works on your floor. Nobody really even knows who I am. Just the girl who sits downstairs for six hours and calls Bingo numbers." She wiped her hands of crumbs. "Alright, girl, well I'll let you go. I don't want you to keep Mr. Sexy doctor waiting too long."
Sango growled irritated. "Alright, alright. So I think he's sexy. But so does Hayden…he'll probably end up liking her more eventually…" She stated, rather sadly. It had happened before. Hayden had landed a date with the sexy physical therapist, Koga, who actually had taken an interest in Kagome at first.
Then there was Kuranosuke, who Sango wasn't too fond of, but Hayden had landed a date with him when he was hired as a cook in the cafeteria, and rumor had it that he was planning on asking Sango out before Hayden had snatched him up.
Sometimes, that girl really made her sick.
"Nah, I doubt it." Amber's voice pulled her from her thoughts. "I think he's really into you. I'll talk to you tomorrow at work, don't keep him waiting!" She urged her.
"Alright, I'm going!" Sango assured her. "Goodnight."
"Night." Then the line was silent and she switched over. "Miroku?"
"Oh hey." His voice sounded distant.
"Do you have me on speakerphone?" She asked.
"Yea, sorry." He said. "I was getting dressed. Hold on a minute, I'm going to take off my shirt."
Sango tried her best not to imagine what he must look like, half-clad in nothing but boxers and sprawled on his bed talking to her on the phone. That was definitely his plan. "Are you trying to get me into bed, Miroku?"
"No, that, you will do on your own." He responded cleverly. "So you think I'm a sexy doctor, do you?" He asked. "Well, I think you're a sexy nurse. It's going to be so hard to act professional around each other now, you know that right?"
"Yes. That's exactly why I usually don't accept dates with people I work closely with." Sango told him. "But that being said, I did have fun the past couple nights."
"Oh, me too, trust me." He said. "Well, it's getting late. I want to make sure you get your rest, though I really don't want to stop talking to you."
Sango smiled and looked at herself in the mirror. She had a light in her eyes, one she hadn't seen in a long, long time. She felt happy, truly happy, even if nothing ever became of her and Miroku. "I don't either. But…I am pretty tired." She said.
"Yea, me 2." He sighed. "Don't have too many dirty dreams about me, OK?"
Sango grinned for the nth time that night, her face was beginning to hurt but she didn't mind. "Trust me. I won't." She said.
"Can't say the same about you." He joked tiredly. "Goodnight, Sango."
"Goodnight, Miroku." She said, and then hung up.
She closed her eyes and tried her best to get him out of her mind, but all through the night she saw him in her dreams. Dreaming about their first kiss they shared, the way his arms felt around her and even some dreams she'd rather not remember she had in the morning.
