Sango's eyes flickered open. She instinctively rubbed at them, clearing sleep away as she tried her best to adjust to the light that was streaming in. Her head was throbbing. 'Great, a headache first thing in the morning' she thought to herself. She sat up causing a thick, white blanket to fall off of her and pile on top of her legs.
Cold! She was freezing. Upon sitting up, she noticed that her chest was bare. Lifting the covers and peering underneath also revealed that her lower half was nude to match the top. She looked around her and noticed that she wasn't in her room. She panicked. Her heart shot up into her throat and pulsed in quick, short bursts. She swallowed multiple times in an attempt to clear the feeling. She thought hard for a moment. What happened?
There was a party. No. Well...yes. There WAS a party but she wasn't invited. Truth be told she probably wouldn't have gone anyway since it was just among the more popular kids at school. They were meeting up at someone's house. She and a friend joked about having their own party instead. They made plans to hang out. They went to grab food and that's when she noticed some booze sitting by the kitchen sink. After that, her memory seemed to disappear- providing no further clues.
Her thoughts were interupted as she felt movement right beside her. It almost made her jump. She quickly turned her head and upon realizing that she wasn't alone in this bed, her blood ran cold. She reached a hesitant hand out and peeled the covers back. She only needed to see the bright red hair to confirm her fears. Fuck.
'Okay, Okay. Calm down' she thought to herself. Maybe they had just...gotten naked...and slept. Heavy emphasis on slept and not had sex which is completely different. There's people out there that just sleep naked together, right?
She felt movement once again but was too busy thinking to be bothered with it. That is, until the lump beside her released a loud scream. She turned towards him and frantically placed her hand on his face, effectively covering his mouth and silencing the noise.
"Shhh!"
He stared up at her, wide-eyed. His face was crimson and she could feel his breath coming out in quick, hot gasps. When she was sure that he wouldn't make more noise, she slowly removed her hand.
"What are you doing here?!" Yusuke demanded, sitting up quickly. "A-And where's your shirt!? P-Put something on, please!"
"I think...I spent the night," Sango muttered, twirling some of her hair around her index finger as she was still trying to piece together last night's events. She ignored his request to clothe herself and just sat in concentration.
Yusuke lifted the blanket and saw that he was also completely naked. She watched as he blushed even more. "Did...did we?" he asked hoarsly.
"I don't know...You don't remember anything?"
Yusuke could only shake his head. Sango sighed. She threw the rest of the blanket off of her legs and got out of bed. Yusuke turned his head away quickly so as not to see her naked body. The gesture made her laugh. She gathered her clothes off of the floor and began getting dressed.
"Where are you going?" Yusuke asked curiously, sneaking a quick peek at Sango as she got dressed.
"Home?" Sango answered, confused. Did he expect her to stay here?
She finally grabbed her shirt and slid it on over her head before gathering her blonde hair and pulling it out- letting it fall down her back. She walked towards the door.
"Uh..."
Sango turned and looked at Yusuke who was still very red in the face. His eyes were cast towards the blanket.
"Thank you," he finally said, closing his eyes tightly.
Sango's mouth was agape as she stared back at him. "For what?"
Yusuke's eyes opened and he looked at her with the same expression of a puppy. "For last night."
Suddenly, Sango felt anger rise up from her stomach and into her face. Was he serious? Thanking her for...possible sex? She gritted her teeth and bent down, retrieving the first thing her hands could grab and threw it towards Yusuke who lifted the blanket up for cover as he yelled. The item just turned out to be his waste basket but it was something nonetheless.
"Don't you dare say that! Nothing happened!" Sango yelled before opening the door and leaving. She walked to the elevator and pressed the down button. She had to get out of here. It felt like she was suffocating, as if the condo walls were closing in on her. Time felt like it was crawling at the moment. She had so many thoughts and emotions as she waited for the elevator to reach the bottom floor. She felt bad for what she did to Yusuke. She knew he didn't mean what he said...he thought he was being a gentleman and thanking her for 'having a party' with him but it came out wrong. She also just had a lot of anxiety. She didn't like the thought of not knowing what happened. She shook her head, as if doing so would take away all of the negative thoughts she was having right then. It'd be okay. She'd leave the condo, head home, maybe eat something. Things would be normal. For the most part. She thought about Yusuke again. Would things ever be completely normal between them? She brushed her thoughts aside as the elevator doors opened- revealing two surprised men. She lowered her head and attempted to walk in between them. A hand grabbed her shoulder and turned her back around. She sighed and turned to face the men- Yusuke's brothers, Ukyo and Kaname.
"You're here...early," Kaname said in a silky voice, smoother than butter, one eyebrow raised.
I swallowed, "Yeah, just...hanging out."
"Did Yusuke let you in?" Ukyo asked, his hands on his hips.
"Y-yeah. I mean that's okay, right?"
Ukyo smiled, "Of course it is. I just want to make sure you're using the front door and not trying to climb up the side again."
Sango's eyes widened as she realized he was referring to something that had happened awhile back and not something else. She remembered that time very clearly. Yusuke was embarassed about having a girl over to see him, even though they were just friends, so she offered to scale the condo wall in an attempt to reach his room. It wounded up with Ukyo having to drive her to the E.R with a broken arm. After that day, she met all of Yusuke's brothers. She laughed, "Nope, front door from now on!"
"Good," Ukyo smiled warmly at her.
Kaname, however seemed to know something. He continued to peer at her with a mix of both interest and confusion.
"Well, I better head out. See you guys later!" Sango said quickly, averting her eyes far away from Kaname's piercing gaze.
"Alright, stay safe."
"Have fun," Kaname said in a teasing tone.
Sango swallowed at that phrase. It ticked her off and scared her because she couldn't read Kaname that well. Yusuke was easy. Anytime he was thinking of something weird, he turned red or acted nervous. Kaname, however seemed very secretive and sneaky. She felt like he knew something but at the same time, he couldn't. Could he?
She threw open the front doors to the Asahina residance and breathed in a large breath of the cold morning air. It felt good to be out of the house, it felt almost stuffy in there. It was freezing outside but it was better than being around Yusuke or the others at the moment. She needed some space.
"Miss Oshiro?"
Sango's hand fell away from her chin as she glanced up and saw the teacher staring at her. The teacher looked rather annoyed- her familar tell-tell sign was the promient forehead wrinkles.
"Uh, could you repeat the question, please?"
"I didn't ask a question. I told you to pay attention." she said, her voice laced with annoyance and anger.
"Oh, right. Sorry."
Sango sat up straighter in her seat and focused her eyes on the teacher in an attempt to force herself to listen to what she was saying. However, her words seemed to fade away after several minutes as Sango's attention drifted elsewhere.
It had been a few weeks since the incident with Yusuke. Thankfully, nothing had really changed between them. They still ate lunch together and talked a lot. However, she still felt uneasy. She started having trouble sleeping and something just felt...off. She read that a lot of women throw up a lot when they're pregnant and she thankfully was not throwing up, but she also read that there are women who don't get morning sickness. So missing that one symptom didn't provide a lot of comfort.
Sango walked quickly out of the school gates, glad for the day to be over with. Her mind had been distracted all day long and school was the last place she wanted to be at the moment. She heard running steps behind her and remained unphazed as Yusuke appeared right beside her.
"Hey, you alright?" Yusuke asked, breathing somewhat heavily.
"Yeah, are you?" Sango laughed, peering at the small beads of sweat that were forming at the base of his hairline.
He blushed, wiping his forehead with his uniform sleeve. "Yeah, I'm fine. You seemed out of it in class."
Sango shrugged, "Maths class is boring."
Yusuke nodded, "So, did you want to hang out today?"
Sango cleared her throat, "Actually, I, uh, have to head home. I need to help my mom out with some stuff. You know how she gets sometimes."
"Oh, alright," he said, the disappointment in his voice was very pronounced. "Well, another time then?"
"Yeah, for sure. I'll see you later, Yusuke."
He smiled and gave a quick wave of his hand before running off in the direction of the condo. Sango watched as he ran off. When he disappeared from view, her lips returned to her usual spaced out expression that she had worn often these past few weeks. Ever since that day, she was so worried that something might have happened. So, today she was going to settle those fears once and for all.
She made her way towards a medical supply store. It sold the usual things that one might need: painkillers, bandages, cough syrup, as well as pregnancy tests for idiot teens such as herself. She entered and wandered around a bit, in search of the tests. She finally found them sitting next to the condoms which made her chuckle bitterly. She grabbed two that were in between the cheapest and most expensive. They'd probably work better, right?
The woman at the counter smiled at her as she made her way to the front of the store. However, as soon as Sango placed the pregnancy tests onto the counter to be rung up, the woman suddenly looked very reserved and snobby. Sango felt the tension immediately and grabbed a pack of gummy candies. She tossed it on the counter and had to hold in a laugh as the woman gave her a very concerned look with the additon of the candy. Teenage pregnancy was looked down on but this woman was taking it a bit too far. Sango smiled awkwardly as she paid and the woman hurridly bagged her items. As soon as she grabbed her bag, she slipped into the bathroom to the left of the register. She could feel the woman's eyes on her back. She was probably giving the most disapproving look, ever. But Sango was too worried about the possibility of having a tiny human inside of her to care about some random check-out lady.
