Well I have been working on a couple things at once. I was kind of bored so I decided to come up with a new story idea. I WOULD have another one out, but the disk has been 'corupted' or something. You can blame that on Princess1616. Lol just kidding, I will still get that one out, but I want to get more work done on it first. I don't know how good of a story this is, so please tell me if you like it. I wrote it when it was late, so don't blame me for spelling errors. I wanted to save this on a program Princess1616's computer could read w/o a whole bunch of squiggles in the way so she wouldn't have to mess with it. lol laura you know im joking!!!
It all started about a month ago, on a Monday. Everything bad always seems to happen on a Monday, at least for me. It was a usual day for me. Everyone was chatting about their weekends, and talking about what they had done, and how tired they were from staying out all night and not sleeping at all. Somehow I think even then I knew that today wasn't like any other crappy monday, but then I didn't know how crappy it could get. Of course, as usual, one of my best friends just had to interupt my revierie.
"Hey Sango, long time no talk" said my friend slyly, sliding up beside my locker with a complete confindence that never ceased to amaze me.
"Yes, very long time. It's been what... 10 hours?" I said, roughly calculating the time since we had been together last.
"But that was so long ago. I missed your smiling face so much I just couldn't sleep" he said jokingly, flashing me his perfect smile. I could just hear the other girls in the hallway swooning over him. Sometimes it got annoying being with someone so popular, but still managing to never get a second glace, but most of the time I didn't mind. Kagome was always there to chat my ear off while it happened. I heard a grunt from behind me, and turned around to see my other best friend, Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha, how was your night?" I asked, curious of why he seemed in a worse mood than usual, even for him.
"I got grounded again. This time it wasn't even my fault! Sesshoumarou set me up AGAIN!" he grumbled angrily to the ground next to me.
"And how was your weekend Miroku? I mean besides missing my smiling face all night so badly you couldn't sleep" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Same old, same old"
"Mine was peachy!" exclaimed Kagome, who had just hopped into the conversation out of nowhere. I took a double take.
"What the fuck!? When did you get here!" I exclaimed out of pure confusion. Man I really must not have been paying attention to the world around me.
"Oh I just got here. My mom made my late because Souta wouldn't get ready fast enough, so she had to drop him off first. She didn't care that my classes started sooner" she huffed.
"Parents, gotta hate them" I joked. Kagome gave me a half-smile. She never pitied me for living with foster parents, but she was always understanding, and that was all I could ask for.
The bell rang, warning us we had five minutes to get to class. We all split up to go to our lockers. Miroku walked with me, since his was right by mine. All the short time we were walking, I noticed girls giving him their usual flirtatious looks. I was used to it by now, and without it I don't think school would quite be the same.
Everyone met up again in the History room, taking their assigned seats. Kagome smiled as she hopped in the chair in front of me, quickly turning to talk to Inuyasha, who was right beside her. To my left, just behind Inuyasha, was Miroku, who was chatting to the pretty new girl. Instead of interupting anyone's conversations, I just got my books ready, and went over my notes quickly, since we had a test the next day.
"Whatchya doin?" asked Kagome suddenly.
"Just studying. You did remember we have a test tomorrow didn't you?" I replied, still reading.
"Aww crap I forgot about that. Oh well I'll study tonight" she said shrugging and turning to the teacher as she walked into the room.
What felt like a century later, the bell rang, and we got our books for our next class. Conviently we all had French together too. That class was spent as usual- complaining about how we just wanted it to be over. When it was, we were nothing more than relieved. The day had gone so slow so far.
At lunch we all headed to the field, and ate outside because it was an increadibly nice November day. That was when it happened.
"So I said, that was your car? I thought it was a junk heap?" Miroku said. A group of girls had burst out into gales of laughter. In that moment, it was as if time ceased to exist. Everything faded from my veiw exept his face. I had always known that Miroku was exeptionally handsome, but I don't think I had ever payed attention to just how handsome that was up until that very moment. I knew in that instant, that I had just fallen in love with my best friend. 'Hello, my name is Sango, and I have fallen in love with my best friend. Somebody save me' I thought to myself.
After that moment, everything became a blur of unhappiness. All I remember was sometime that week, I was hurt more than I had ever been before in my life. I think it was worse than finding out my parents had died in a car accident that crippled my brother too, worse than going from foster home to foster home. Miroku asked Kagome to the winter formal. I felt so crushed right then and there when he asked her. I could almost see the broken shards of my heart spill onto the floor. I wanted so badly to scream at him that he was taking the wrong girl, that he should take me- do anything that would make him change his mind. Out of all the things I wanted to do, I didn't do any one of them. I just sat there gaping like a fish out of water. I was so busy worrying about the fact that Miroku had hurt me more than he could ever reliase, that I didn't see Inuyasha go through the same motions I did.
From then on in, my life felt like it was spiraling out of control. I knew I was over reacting, I mean it was only the formal. Kagome had been talking about it non-stop since she found out. She was very happy to have a chance to wear her new dress. I was still in so much shock, I hardly noticed when Kuranosuke asked me to the dance. I felt completely numb, day in and out. I hardly every laughed anymore, not a true laugh. I went through the motions and pretended everything was Ok. I didn't want to ruin it for Kagome, I knew how much this meant to her. The day of the dance came quickly and with an overall air of happiness and festivity.
The night of the dance I got ready with extra care. I wasn't even sure why. In my mind there was no point in looking beautiful unless it was for Miroku's eyes only. Nonetheless I got ready quickly, and didn't fuss too much over my make-up.
I heard the doorbell ring downstairs, and shuffled to the staircase as fast as I could in my highheeled shoes. As I reached the top of the staircase, Kuranosuke looked up in awe.He looked over me from my dark brown curled locks, over my fitted red dress, to the black high heeled sandles I wore on my feet, completed with freshly painted toes in crimson. I barely noticed he had looked my way. I'm sure it would have been like something out of a movie if I hadn't felt so empty inside. One part of me said to go for what I had, and stop daydreaming about someone who would never fall for a girl like me. Another said to run to Miroku and confess my feelings. One last part of me said I was making too big a deal out of a small crush and should stop being such a drama queen. I didn't have time to think about what any one of the 'voices' had said, so I settled for climbing numbly into the back of the limo that Kuranosuke had borrowed, along with the driver, from his parents.
I arrived at the dance 'fashionably late' at Kuranosuke's request. I was glad we had though, because I really did not want to see Kagome and Miroku arrive, with everyone fussing over them, as I knew they would because of Miroku's popularity. At the dance I managed to wrestle my way from Kuranosuke for all of five minutes at a time before he wanted to dance again. There wasn't much else to do besides dance with him anyways. I couldn't stand being with Kagome and Miroku, it would crush me. I settled on visiting with Inuyasha, even though he was at the dance with Kikyou, the one person I could not stand.
Sensing my need to talk with him, Inuyasha asked Kuranosuke if he could steal me for a best-friend dance. I was releived when he agreed- although very reluctantly.
"I can't beleive you came with Kikyou!" I exclaimed as we started to dance.
"I can't beleive you came with Kuranosuke!" he replied, wrinkling his nose. Both of us sighed and looked over at Kagome and Miroku, who were dancing very close together. I heard Inuyasha growl low in his throat as Miroku's hands slid down from her waist closer to her butt.
"I see I'm not alone in this boat" I said. Inuyasha needed no explanation, he knew just what I meant. We were both feeling the same hurt.
"If you wanted to come with Kagome so badly, why didn't you just ask her?" I said boldly, hoping Inuyasha wouldn't bite my head off- I might need it later.
"I didn't have the chance. If there's one thing I can't be courageous about, it's these bloody women." He said with distaste.
"But you did have the courage to ask Kikyou?" I said, thoroughly confused.
"No no no no! I never asked her, she demanded I go with her, more or less. At least I have that as an excuse. Whats yours? Kuranosuke is too much of a gentleman to demand a girl come with him. Why did you say yes to Kuranosuke, and not just ask Miroku?" he inquired.
"I didn't even reliaze how I felt until it was too late" I said. With that I left Inuyasha to get back to his date.
Well? Do you like it? Hate it? Tell me please, I want to know if this idea is as good as the other ones I plan to write. I have two more that should be comming out over the christmas break most likely. I dont have much time to write, but im sure i could make more if i was inspired by say riviews, wink wink! Thanks for reading!
Ps: Sorry if this chapter is a little short!
