Pain and Pleasure
The Typical "Just so you Know" Information: This is in modern times, the groups are aged all about 18, 19 like they normally are. They're fairly well in character, if I do say so myself grin Some of them are in school, some half part time jobs, etc etc etc Oh yeah, Sango's previous b/f is Toushi ... you'll see what I mean.
The relentless fist beat down upon Sango's face and she cringed against his blows. She was used to this, he did it once or twice a week. He normally avoided hitting her face, the bruises were hard to explain. Whenever Toushi would do this to her, she would pretend she wasn't there. She would zone-out and allow her body to be abused, bruised and scarred.
She couldn't explain exactly why she stuck around with him, but there was something that she couldn't help but love. There was a good side that only SHE saw in him, she didn't want to leave him. All her friends knew about the relationship they had, the bruises were impossible to explain. It would be awkward when she tried to tell her friends that she fell and they knew she was lying.
Her arms covered her face and his muscular arm swung a fist and smacked her forearm, he yelled words that Sango didn't hear and stormed off. She made him mad because he heard a rumor that she was cheating on him.
She blinked open teary eyes and struggled to her feet. She wobbled to the bathroom of her apartment to wash her face and see if she could cover up the black eye she knew she'd have.
The front door slammed as Toushi left. Sango cursed inwardly at herself for having the inability to leave this relationship. She just ... couldn't. She prepared herself for the day ahead, she was supposed to meet with Kagome later today. She applied as much make-up as she could to cover the forming bruise around her eye and got dressed. She wore a short black skirt, a long sleeve white shirt, a gray T-shirt over, and knee-high black boots.
Looking over her distraught face in the mirror once more, she whirled around and headed out the door.
"Sango!" cries Kagome, waving enthusiastically at her from across the foodcourt. "Over here!"
Sango forced a smile and walked over to Kagome, going over her excuse in her head. She knew Kagome wouldn't buy it, but she also knew that Kagome didn't have the audacity to pry into Sango's life. "Hey," Sango avoided Kagome's accusing stare. "I-... I fell..." she started, the awkward silence from her friend making the guilt in her gut grow.
"Sango ... you can't keep lying about this. This is serious, you can't let him hurt you!" her friend argued though she had a feeling it was pointless.
"You don't understand! I-" she was cut off.
"I understand perfectly well! He hurts you, Sango. What else is there? You have to leave him! Besides... InuYasha was saying Miroku's been asking about you." Her voice took on a suggestive tone.
"Miroku... heh," she sighed, "he wouldn't know what to do if a woman actually said 'Yes.'" She half laughed at her own joke.
"I heard he has a girlfriend." Kagome lied, and was surprised at the shocked look on Sango's bruised face.
"Wh-what did you say?" she stuttered out, breathlessly.
"You heard me," she smirked.
"I don't believe you. Besides, who cares? I have a boyfriend and I don't even like that pervert!" Sango crossed her arms. "So there."
"Ha! We all know you have the hots for him!" Kagome poked Sango in the side, making her squirm and laugh.
"Shut up, I do not!" she growled.
"Fine, whatever you say... So, we going to get some shopping done or what?"
"I'd actually rather see a movie..." Kagome picked up the sign-- Sango didn't want to be seen with the nasty bruise.
"Okay."
They paid for their tickets, two large popcorns, sodas, and candy and entered the theaters. Sango wasn't all that concerned with what they were seeing, though Kagome seemed interested in it. It was some A-Team movie or something... (EHEHE inside joke! XP) Sango and Kagome took a seat behind two random people and waited for the show to start.
The two men ahead of the girls sounded oddly familiar... They were talking about their experiences with kissing, but they both sounded annoyingly inexperienced. When the show started Sango realized the head infront t of her was in her way! She cleared her throat to get his attention but he was oblivious. The man infront of Kagome, however, wasn't as dumb. He whirled around, "Excuse m-... Kagome?"
Kagome tilted her head and squinted in the dark theaters, "Inu! You said you were staying home today, that's why I called Sango!"
Sango grumbled to herself, "Thanks a lot..."
The other man turned around to see the conversation, it was Miroku. 'Oh no ... this is bad...' thought Sango to herself.
Miroku said to Kagome, in InuYasha's defense, "I called him, I asked if he was doing anything 'cause I wanted to get out of the house."
Miroku turned to Sango and took on a perverted look, "Hey, there. What're you up to?"
'Don't say nothing, don't say nothing, don't say nothing," she screamed at herself. She answered, "Nothing."
He smiled, "Now that's a lie. Everyone always up to something, especially you," he glared playfully at her.
"I'm in school. I'm very busy, I have no time for anything but studying," she was hoping he wouldn't ask her out... 'Oh Gods, what would I say? No? Well, duh, I'd say no! And he'd wanna know why... Or maybe he wouldn't ask... Oh crap!'
"You're obviously not too busy to come see a movie," he smirked, feeling a bit proud of his amateur detective skills.
InuYasha and Kagome were busy talking about what they wanted to do afterward to pay any attention to the two.
"I... had some extra time... I just ... well, I thought maybe... I... it's none of your damn business!" she was irritated now.
"Sorry, I was just making conversation," he held his hands up in a defensive pose. "No need to get your panties in a twist."
She glared, "You have, in no way, had any effect, whatsoever, on my panties!" she yelled it a bit too loud... InuYasha looked over, blinked, and shrugged. Kagome laughed, glad that the two were atleast talking.
InuYasha had now taken the delight of moving and sitting next to Kagome. Miroku, following him, went and sat next to Sango. Sango glared, "How about you tell me exactly what it is you want?"
"You know exactly what I want," a seductive grin formed on his face, and Sango--knowing no other way to avoid him and whatever he planned-- turned her face away. She wasn't sure what was worse, Miroku or watching InuYasha and Kagome make out. She turned back to face the pervert. But as she tuned around she felt a hand feeling it's way up her thigh and under her skirt. "AIEE!" she yelped and looked for the nearest weapon. Her eyes fell on the perfect thing. Popcorn.
She hurled the popcorn bucket in his face, which caught him off guard and made his hand leave her thigh. He got some popcorn stuck in his hair and some fell down his shirt. His eyes were wide with shock, and all he could think to do was retaliate. He picked up a handful of popcorn that had accumulated in his lap and chucked it in her face. Some of it bounced off and hit Kagome and InuYasha, but they were too busy shoving each other's tongues down their throats to notice.
Sango shook with rage, 'How DARE he throw popcorn at ME!' she thought to herself and reached across the making-out-couple and grabbed their popcorn bucket, they wouldn't miss it. She turned back to him. She was armed and ready but her enemy wasn't anywhere to be seen.
He had taken refuge behind the next row of seats and was only armed with the little popcorn he found in the hood of his sweater. He chucked some at her to get her attention, and she whirled around and threw a large handful in his direction. He ducked behind the seat and a few popcorns fell on him. He scooped what he could in his hands and threw it back at her, but as he stood up he saw Sango had moved back to where he was and was dumping the popcorn bucket on him! He covered his face and laughed as the popcorns showered down on him.
"Take that, foolish mortal! BWAHAHA!" she cackled victoriously and threw the empty bucket on him.
"You cheated! You stole InuYasha and Kagome's ammo!" he stood up and began brushing the popcorn off of him.
"Cheated? They weren't playing, it was free game!" she stated defensively.
He had stopped and was looking at her with a small smile on his face, he was glad to see her happy. From what he had heard from InuYasha, she was never happy, something was always wrong in her relationships, or she was so over-stressed with school...
She was picking popcorn pieces out of her hair and she stopped to look at him, what was he smiling about? He placed a hand o her cheek and she went to pull away but decided she would trip and fall over the row of seats behind her and changed her mind.
"Sango..." he started, "smile. For me." There was something different about him, he was being sincere, caring, and something about him was sad... Sango wanted to frown, because something she did made him sad like this. But she smiled, for him.
His thumb stroked her soft cheek lightly and he smiled back at her.
"Wanna get out o' here?" he asked, casually.
"Sure, we've been ignored by our friends..." she laughed and gestured toward InuYasha and Kagome. She shook her head and walked down the aisle to the walkway out of here.
Miroku followed her, happy that he could atleast be alone with her.
He wrapped his arm around her and placed his hand on her butt. She growled and her eye twitched irritably and he pulled his hand away, "Eh heh... It was worth a try."
"No, it wasn't worth it," she grumbled.
The two exited the theater.
