Chance Meetings
It seems like a million years since I posted a fanfic. College completely ate my time. And while I'm in summer school so I can graduate I want to try and work on my fan fics more. I can't promice weekly updates because between job hunting, college classes, papers and maintaining a website it's kinda hectic. But I am going to Japan again and bringing either a lot of paper or my laptop since I have an online class that week to do as well. So what I can't do before then, I'll try to do on the plane ride. All constructive criticism is welcome since I know I'm far from a professional writer.

Chapter One: The Meeting
Sango sighed as she looked around her apartment. She unpacked so much the night before but it felt like she could never finish soon enough. Her bedroom looked like a disaster, clothes everywhere boxes waiting to be unpacked in the corner and worst of all today she had to go to the new University. She liked her small town community college but her Father thought it would be good for her to get away, experience new things and have new opportunities. She wanted to go home as soon as he helped her move in, She missed him and Kohaku so much. She never felt more alone in her life.
"Kirara..." She said petting her cat. "I have an alarm clock for a reason...you don't have to wake me up in the morning..."
The feline mewed in response and jumped off the bed waiting for Sango to feed her. Sango yawned and stretched before she got out of bed and walked to the kitchen.
"I know you should be very happy I went to the store last night, it took me a half hour to find the building again but we both have some food to eat till I can find the grocery store..." Sango stated opening a can of food.
"Now you be good while I'm at school, no crazy...cat parties or anything..." Sango said looking at the feline. "I sound like an idiot..."
Sango then went about her daily morning routine, then she made sure she had everything she needed for school and sighed. It would surely be a lonely day. Or would it?
"Yes I swear that I will be there early so we can talk about the apartment, mine is far too expensive to keep anymore...Yes...Yash you should really stop yelling over the phone it's unhealthy. Well, I'll see you soon enough I'm about half way to campus and you scream so loud that my ears will surely bleed before I get there at this rate." Miroku said shutting his flip phone. "What a pain friends are sometimes."
He continued walking down the street while playing tetris on said phone. No one typically walked this way since it was a poorer area of town and the little kids were all in school. But little did he know that someone else would be coming that way. Directly in to him as a matter of fact, she thought she was running late, over estimating how long it would take to get to school. Sango, just walked out of her apartment building, with a map of the city in her face not paying a bit of attention. That is, until she walked right into Miroku. Both sat on the ground confused but then he stood up and held a hand out.
"I'm sorry...I should have been looking at where I was going are you alright?" Miroku asked
Sango took his hand as he helped her up and smiled lightly. "Yeah, I'm fine..."
"Are you new in town?" Miroku asked after looking her over and noticing the map.
"Yes...I just moved her yesterday..." She replied.
"Oh? Well do you have some free time now? I know a nice coffee place, think of it as compensation for me running into you" He offered
"Sure..." She replied.
Walking down the street next to this new person Sango realized she just agreed to go somewhere with a complete stranger. Maybe she shouldn't have replied so quickly, and maybe if she started a conversation it wouldn't feel so odd.
"I have a class at Eleven Thirty so...do you mind if we stop at the one close to campus..?" Miroku asked breaking her train of though.
"I have one then too...You go to the University too?" Sango replied
"Yeah, I do what class do you have?" He replied as they entered the coffee shop.
"Umm...Asian Philosophy I think..." Sango replied pulling out a paper that was her schedule. "Yeah...It's in Olscamp hall.."
" I have the same class! That is kind of weird...Well...since it's a Three Hundred level class I shall assume you're a transfer student?" Miroku said glancing at the menu.
"Yeah...I used to go to school close to home where it was cheaper...but I thought the University would be a good experience.." She replied.
"Wow, your pretty smart then." Miroku replied with a smile noticing her blush a little. "So...what type of coffee do you like?"
"I don't know...Chai sounds good..." She replied skimming over the Menu
"Do you want to find somewhere to sit while I order? He replied
"Sure..."
When Sango sat down at a clean table she thought about the weird events that happened so far today. She tumbled into a guy, went to a coffee house with him and now he's buying her coffee and he's in her class. Talk about one of the weirdest meetings in history...
"At least I won't get lost..." She mumbled to herself has he came over to the table.
"So.." He said handing her the cup of Chai.
"...So...?" She replied making him chuckle a little.
"My name is Miroku."
"Mine's Sango..."
"That is a beautiful name." He replied after taking a sip of coffee. "It suits you."
What a flirt...She thought rolling her eyes. "Yeah I guess...So...You're an upper classman?"
"Yes I am a Junior, I know my way around campus well, so if you ever need to know where something is, just ask." He replied with a smile.
"Okay...? What's your major?" She asked after taking a drink.
"Religious Philosophy." He said "What about you?"
"I don't really know...It's basically...International Studies but my classes are mostly...Culture and Peace and Studies so...I don't know how they'll transfer over.." She replied.
"Interesting..."Miroku said a little bit more bored than he planned. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No...Why...?" She replied
He simply smiled and took another sip of his coffee. "No reason really, just curious."
"Right...So...You'll help me find my classes?" She replied.
"With pleasure." He said smoothly with a grin.
"Well..." She started as she looked through her bookbag, and pulled out her schedule. "Where are they..?"
Miroku took the schedule and his eyes widened a little. "Well this will be easy, your in all of my classes."
"What..? We aren't majoring in the same thing!" She replied.
"Well, this school is small ans think about it. International Studies...Religious Philosophy...Your major is more broad than mine. And you can look forward to having someone you know in each class." Miroku replied with a smile.
"I guess your right.." She replied.
Miroku smiled and held out his hand. "Friendship and chance meetings have their benefits. Our first class is this way." He said pulling her towards the door.
"Be here early my Ass..." InuYasha grumbled.
"InuYasha be nice...Maybe he went to get breakfast and forgot." Kagome replied.
"...Ten bucks says he was flirting..." InuYasha mumbled.
"I'm not betting against that..." Kagome replied.
"Because you know I'm right!" InuYasha growled.
"..Maybe.." She replied
"Keh..."
With the tail end of the conversation Miroku, followed by Sango walked in the room. Miroku looked around for Kagome and InuYasha, noticed InuYasha's mad face and pulled Sango towards them fearing to sit alone with them.
"Dumbass, what happened to being early?" InuYasha said glancing at Sango.
"I was being a good classmate. InuYasha, Kagome this is Sango she is a transfer student." Miroku replied
"Told you...flirting...give me Ten bucks." InuYasha said to Kagome.
"I didn't bet against you..." She replied.
"Cruel friends I have...They always argue, but over all they are good people." Miroku said with a smile.
Sango watched the two fight, and sat down next to Miroku.
Today's been so weird...and it's not even noon...
On went Asian Philosophy, sort of boring yet...Sango couldn't stop thinking about the things that happened to her today. Either Miroku was nice or a rapist that was really good at hiding it. Hopefully the first of the two, but she didn't seem to notice the glances coming from another man across the room.
"Koharu, it looks like your boyfriend got a new girl."
"I noticed...how dare she steal my Miroku..."
"She looks too good for him."
"You mean he's too good for her?"
"No I don't, I might make a deal with you if I can get her alone..."
"As long as I get my Miroku back..."
The actual length I had planned this chapter to be is about six more pages written in length. I figured it would be too much for the first chapter. But I love Miroku and Sango Fluff. So there is going to be tons of cute moments between them. The next chapter is mostly them getting to know each other through notes they pass in class. Which teachers in College hate by the way, one of my teachers threw everyone out of class because of it. Oh well. Just so you know Three Hundred level classes are Junior level classes (at least in my school) So it would be surprising to see someone your assuming is a Freshman in one. It's a lot of work.
Till next time!
