Sango was walking down a dirt path. It was foggy and she was near some woods. Where am I? she thought. Oh well. Maybe I'll meet someone on this path... She continued walking slowly and carefully, until she heard her name. She stopped but dared not to turn around. She waited, but no one called her again. How strange... She walked a bit further, until she heard her name again. This time she turned around, looking around. No one… She shook her head slowly and started again. She felt that someone was nearby. She kept going. "Sango…" That voice…It sounds so…familiar? Where have I heard it before? Have I even heard it before! She suddenly was in a field of small yellow flowers. "Huh?" Sango whipped around in confusion until she saw the path again. She laughed at her foolishness and started towards it again when her name was called. A bit scared, Sango tilted her head to see something out of the corner of her eye. She gasped and-

Sango felt a shock that went through her whole body as her eyes opened. She sat up and looked around her room. It was dark, which meant it was early. Too early to wake up! She looked at her clock. 3: 42 a.m. She groaned. Kirara's ears twitched; Sango's pet cat was sleeping peacefully at the end of her bed. Sango lay back in bed and stared at the ceiling. Where have I heard that voice before? It bugged her. She's been having close to the same dream for four nights in a row. Maybe it means something...Or not! She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

"Sango!"

Sango looks up to see Kagome running towards her desk. Sango smiled weakly. Gee, I'm so tired... Kagome put her backpack by her desk in front of Sango's. Kagome stood by Sango cheerfully. "Gosh, Sango, you look awful!" she cried, her smile fading.

Sango nodded and yawned. "I woke up in the middle of the night again," she explained.

"Oh." Kagome sat in her seat, still facing her friend. "Have any idea what this dream is all about?" Sango shook her head.

"It's just me, walking, and then I hear this familiar voice."

"Any clue whose it is?"

"No. No clue at all." She then saw Miroku and InuYasha enter the room. They were laughing about something that happened in the halls. Miroku saw Sango and he gave her a charming smile and a quick wave of his hand. She blushed slightly and buried her head in her arms on the desk. She heard the boys' footsteps and looked up. Miroku leaned his butt on her desk, crossing his arms and giving her his best smile. He looks kinda cute today…Ew! I must need more sleep! "G'day, Sango," Miroku purred. Sango grumbled.

InuYasha snickered."What's your problem?" he sneered. "Besides the fact that you look like a wreck!" He and Miroku laughed viciously. Sango looked up at them with a death look. Kagome growled. "She's been having problems with sleep, so lay off!" she snapped.

"Yeah, maybe we should," Miroku said seriously after his fit of laughter was over.

InuYasha rolled his eyes. "Hey, Kagome, we need to talk at lunch," he said, turning to her.

"Okay. Sango and I should be by the art room after we eat." InuYasha nodded as the bell rang. Miroku winked at Sango as he and InuYasha went to their seats. Sango rolled her eyes. When will he give up…?

Sango barely made it through the whole day, having trouble staying awake the entire time. At lunch she and Kagome sat at a bench outside the cafeteria and ate quietly. At one point, Kouga and his two best friends, Hakkaku and Ginta, went to them. Kouga was asking Kagome out again. Kagome declined the offer politely. Kouga's spirit wasn't broken, of course. He would just come back next week. Or the next day. Sango shook her head.

The two got up, threw away their trash, and headed to the art room. Along the way Sango caught a glimpse of Sesshoumaru, InuYasha's older half -brother, sitting under a tree reading a book. He was more of a loaner. He was wanted on the football team, but he wasn't interested in sports. All he did was read. Sango looked around for Kagura. She had a major crush on him and was often watching him from afar. And she was. She was sitting on another bench a bit away, holding a book open in her lap. She was staring at him dreamily. Her shorter, yet older sister, Kanna was sitting by her, frowning. She tried to get close to her younger sister, but didn't succeed.

Kagome and Sango made their way to the art room and placed their backpacks by the door. They stood and chatted amongst themselves as they waited for InuYasha to show up. When he finally did with Miroku, he seemed angry.

"Kikyou saw you talking to Kouga today!" he snapped.

Kagome frowned. "What's it to you? And what were you doing talking to Kikyou?" she snarled. Kikyou and InuYasha went out a while back. They broke up for they both thought the other was with someone else. They both had feelings for each other still. InuYasha blushed slightly. "My conversations with Kikyou are none of your business."

"Excuse me! Then I can talk to Kouga whenever I want! And you told me that you stopped talking to her! How dare you lie to me!"

Miroku sighed. "Will their bickering ever stop?" he muttered. Sango nodded in agreement. Miroku leaned on the wall next to Sango. "So, Sango, how've you been?" She shot him a dirty look.

"Tired, apparently," she yawned.

"You should get more sleep."

"I can't when I keep having freaky dreams that wake me up at 3 a.m."

"Oh. What sort of dreams?"

"Odd ones that don't make sense."

"Or are they…erotic dreams?"

She shot him an extra nasty look. "No! In these dreams, I'm alone-"

"Ooh, that's hot, too..."

"-and I hear this voice. It's calling my name-"

"Sure it's not screaming your name?"

"Shut up!' She slapped him. He winced slightly in pain. Her face turned red from anger and she turned back to the two naggers.

"Anything else you talk to Kikyou about? Behind my back!" Kagome yelled.

"Behind your back? Please! What were you and Kouga talking about?" InuYasha replied.

"He asked me out, again, is all." InuYasha fell silent. He gave her a blank look. He leaned in closer to her. "And?"

She looked puzzled. "And…what?"

"What did you tell him?"

"No, of course." InuYasha looked a little relieved. Kagome rolled her eyes. InuYasha grabbed her arm and pulled her more aside. He was telling her something quietly. She had a puzzled look on her face and nodded occasionally. Sango yawned again, bored. Miroku snuck a few glances at her. She just scowled.

The bell rang. InuYasha nodded for Miroku to go to class with him. Miroku winked at Sango and went off. Sango let out a sigh of relief. "I thought he'd never leave!" she muttered. Kagome giggled. Sango turned to her and raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Kagome shook her head. "Oh, nothing…" She was still smiling, though. Sango rolled her eyes.

"Whatever…Let's just go to class."

Kagome had something to tell Sango. But she had to wait.

After school, Sango invited Kagome to her house. This is my chance! she thought. They went upstairs to Sango's room and sat on her bed. They talked about school, and boys, and painted their nails for a while, until Kagome told Sango about the party this one popular girl was having.

"Oh." Sango's reply was flat. She began running peach-colored polish across her smooth pinky nail. She put the open bottle on her desk beside the bed and blew on her nail.

"Do you wanna go?" Kagome asked her, inspecting her own nails with fake curiosity.

"No!" Sango laughed. "Kagome, you know I don't like parties!"

"Oh, well that's too bad…'Cause you're going…"

"WHAT!"

Kirara jumped off the bed in fright and the peach colored polish bottle fell off the desk and splattered onto the white carpet. Sango's face turned red and she peered over the bed side to see Kagome. "I'm not going to that party!"

"And why not?" Kagome replied sharply.

"Because…I'm just not going!"

"See? You don't even have a real reason! You're coming with me tomorrow night."

"…Who else will be there?"

"Everyone! Half the school, maybe!"

"…"

"Well, it's not like you have a choice! You're coming with me." Kagome stood up and collected her things. "I gotta go now. Pick out something casual to wear. Talk to you later!" She walked out the door with all her stuff.

Sango looked at her carpet and sighed. One reason was because the nail polish had already dried. Another was that she really was not the party type. I really don't want to go, but I know Kagome will be disappointed…

She lay back and closed her eyes. She saw an image of Miroku. Her eyes snapped open. Whoa, where'd that come from? She leaned forward and shook her head. I need some water…And aspirin…
