disclaim: I do not own InuYasha!~!:*(
One
My BEST FRIEND, Sango, says one of the good things about having an older brother is that he can help you meet a lot of guys. I guess that might be true for some people, but I'd spent so much time with my brother Miroku's friends that they were like family. I mean, they were pigs!~! They drank milk straight from the container, and they held belching contests and made me be the judge. So obviously, Miroku's friends just felt like extra brothers to me. I'd never really thought of them as dateable.
"You think they're boyfriend material?" I asked Sango.It was Friday, and we were sitting near the football field after school. It was one of those super--hot Atlanta fall afternoons when you can't imagine ever wearing a sweater again.
"Why not?" she asked, nodding toward my brother and his friends InuYasha and Naraku, who were walking across the field to us. "They're only two years older than we are, which is perfect. Not to mention that some of them are extremely cute."Sango cocked her head to the side, a thoughtful expression on her face."Yeah, I could easily see myself going out with them." (aka.. She hasn't told Kagome that she's in love with her brother)
"Okay, so you could see yourself with them. But come on ----what would a senior guy want with a sophomore girl?" I demanded, gathering my dark black hair into a ponytail. "Especially a sophomore girl like you or me."
Sango shrugged, not bothered by my reminder of the fact that we weren't exactly members of the coolest crowd on campus.Unlike that stupid b**** Kikyou."Lots of tings.Don't sell yourself short,girlfriend." She smiled. "Remember," she added "girls mature much faster than boys. Technically,we're the same mental age as Miroku and his friends. Maybe older!"
"Maybe,"I said. Back when I was little and thought all boys were jerks, my grandmother used to say,"Be patient and they'll catch up to you," promising me that one day boys would occupy nearly all my thoughts. By the time I turned thirteen, Grandma's promise rang true. But my appreciation for guys had gotten me nowhere---- I'd never had a serious boyfirned. By the way, neither had Sango--- even though she call me a late bloomer,since she became obseesed with guys when she was ten.
I glanced across the field. My brother and his friends were clowning around as they walked. I waved at Miroku, and he and InuYasha waved back. Naraku was too busy trying to simultaneously walk and read the sports section to notice us. He was Miroku and InuYasha's new friend. I got the impression that my brother didn't really like him all that much.
"See, Naraku kind of sketchy,"Sango whispered, even though the three guys were still very far away. "But Miroku has gorgeous eyes, and well InuYasha gots the body!~! And check out his hair."
I rolled my eyes."You sound like a fortune cookie."
"Whatever."Sango continued to gaze at my brother and his friends. " Fortune cookie or not, take another look at Mr. InuYasha. I'm just stating the obvious."
InuYasha was striding toward us, his black hair blowing off his face. Okay, so she did have a point. InuYasha had the best body of any guy I knew, built but not bulky like a weight lifteris. Plus, he had smooth skin and the most beautiful brown eyes. That's why the girls fell all ober him.
There's actually a list of InuYasha's exgirlfriends scrawled on the wall of the girls' bathroom near the cafeteria. The latest ex posts her name something about why she now hates InuYasha. Last time I checked,it was ten names long. InuYasha has always been really sweet to me, though--- and he's a great friend to Miroku. So looking at that list always made me feel funny---I couldn't imagine InuYasha being a jerk to anyone.(haha not)
But then,I also could never understand why all those girls were attracted to InuYasha in the first place.Didn't they know that he was a slob? Sometimes he wore the same sweaty T-shirt for an entire week-end!~! He and Miroku lie around our den watching cartoons for hours every Saturday. Why would anyone want to date either of them?
"InuYasha is good-looking,"I admitted. "But I just don't think of him in that way he is Mirokus best friend.
Sango stared at me as if I were the stupidest person alive."You are so blind." she said shaking her head.. "InuYasha is fine. How could you not look at him that way?"
I laughed. "Sango, InuYasha is like a brother," I explained. "I mean, I've known him since I was ten. He and Miroku have been best friends since they were twelve years old. Why are you so interested in him anyway?" I seacheed her face. "Do you like him or something?"
Sango arched her eyebrows in surprise. "Me? No, he's not my type I'm more interested in..." Her voice trailed off as she squinted into the distance. "Never mind.(too bad i almost had her say it) Anyway, I can't date a guy who's more then a foot taller than me. I'd get a stiff neck looking up at him and then my dance teacher would yell at me for being too rigid. But he'd be perfect for you.
"Oh yeah?" I said in an amused tone. As usual, the same music, and you've already been hanging out togeter for years."
"Since when did you become a dating service?"I asked suspiciously.
Sango turned her back to the guys, removed a mirror from her bag, and checked her makeup.
"Besides," she added, ignoring my last comment, "I think he has a thing for you."
"No way,"I said, watching InuYasha approach. "Do you think?"
"Yeah,I do," she said quietly. She grinned at me. "Do I look okay?" she asked.
"Beautiful," I told her truthfully. "You always look great."
I meant it. I've never seen Sango look anything but beautiful. She has the most amazing long hair. It's Straight and soft and the color of apricots-- like somthing you'd see in a shampoo ad. I, on the other hand, have regular curly at the end kinda hair that automatically stops growning when it hits the middle of my back. Sango's also got naturally thick eyelashes that frame her light brown eyes. She's thin and graceful-- but muscular,because she takes dance class four mornings a week before school. I prefer running and basketball to rhythm and ballet. I have a more athletic build. Sango's always telling me how gorgeous I am, but she's my best friend, so of coourse she thinks that. I do know that i look healthy and strong, and that makes me happy.
The best thing about Sango is that she's the most honest person you'll ever meet. She would never lie to a friend or cheat on a test or even consider keeping a lost wallet she found on the street. You'd think guys would be asking her out all the time, but so far nobody has. My theory is that they're intimidated by how beautiful she is, or taht they figure anysone so beautiful has to have and attitude.
"Ahh!"With a happy yowl, InuYasha slid onto the grass next to me as if he were sliding into home plate. Sango tucked her mirror in her bag and shot me a knowing smile.
I stuck my tongue out at Sango,but smiled down at InuYasha. Then I cupped my hangds over my mouth to make my voice sound as if it were coming out of a megaphone. "And it's InuYasha, winning the baseball game. "
" I am the most valuable player of all time,"InuYasha said, his brown eyes glittering as he smiled back at me. Okay, I repeated silently to myself. Sango's right. He is cute, especially when his cheeks are all flushed and---
"Hey, you guys" my brohter greeted Sango and me, breaking my thoughts. Naraku stood right behind him.
"Hi, Miruku." I smiled, trying to cover up the embarrassment I felt over my silly thoughts.
Naraku plopped down and spread out his newspaper. brain threw his book bag next to Sango and sprawled out facedown in the grass.
"Tired?"she asked him.
"Wrecked,"he moaned. "Fridays ruin me. I need a three -hour nap to make up for waking up at the crack of dawn five days in a row."
"Me too,"Sango said, checking her watch and gathering her stuff."But I have to go to work."
"You work on Fridays?" InuYasha asked.
"Yeah.from four till ten."
When she's not rehearsing for a dance recital, Sango works at a clothing store in hte mall. I don't know how she does everything and still keeps an A average. I work pretty hard, but I could never be as high an achiever as Sango.
"That must be rough," Miruku commented. "Working on nap day."
"The money's good," Sango said. "And with cash, I get to do fun things with you guys again. Like,soon,I hope."
"Anytime,"Miruku replied.
"Kagome,are you coming with me to the mall, or are you hanging here?"Sango asked as she climbed to her feet.
I squinted up at her."Can I pick up some cloths with your discount?"
"Yeah sure," Sango said , brushing the grass off her plaid skirt.
I stood up and stretched. "Cool. I'm coming, then"
"But I just got here," InuYasha complained dramatically, clutching my leg from below. " Don't leave me, please!"
"You are such a doofus,"I said, untagling myself forme his grasp. "We have to catch the next bust or Sango will be late!"
"Oh."InuYasha nodded."How longare you going to be there?"
I shrugged." I don't know. A few hours, I guess. Maybe until seven."
Sango put her hands on her hips."Why do you ask,InuYasha?"
I glared at Sango. I knew she was trying to lead InuYasha to admit his "feelings" for me,even though they were nonexistent, a figment of Sango's overactive imagination. I leaned my body into hers as a signal to shut up.
"No reason,"InuYasha said. "Just wondering... Maybe I'll catch you guys later."
Miruku sat up from his collapsed position and frowned at me." How are you getting home from the mall?"
"I don't know--- the bus,I guess. Or maybe I'll run into someone I now who'll give me a ride."I grabbed my backpack from the ground.
"Well,"Miruku said, "maybe I should come get you---"
I'll give you a ride, Kagome."Naraku interrupted, looking up for the first time.
