Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I've last written (or updated *cough*) a story. But hope you enjoy the story!

'Finally! High school is over and done!' she thought as she jumped onto her queen sized bed and proceeded to snuggle with one of her five pillows. She felt so blissful knowing that the next day and 2 months from now would be school free. Her kitten, Kirara, stretched her small body up to try and be with her loving 'mother', but to no vail.

Sango, hearing the slight tearing noise, rolled over and looked down to see her kitten sitting on the ground, almost pouting, about her inability to reach her. Sango giggled and reached down to pick up her little baby. Placing her on her bed, Kirara made haste in positioning herself in a tight little bundle by her master's head, as they both closed their eyes.

"That cat of yours is so freakin' clingy", came the response of a familiar voice. Inside her eyelids, Sango rolled her eyes knowing that the only person that critical about a small display of affection was none other than Inuyasha.

Opening her eyes and slowly sitting up as to not put her kitten in a fright, Sango glanced towards the window with a small smile on her face. "Don't be mad because Kagome isn't like that with you", she said with a wink.

The hanyou was clearly irked and cocked one eyebrow up as he got off the window panel and crossed his arms. "Keh. Like hell I need to be treated like some ball o'fluff" he said as he glanced around the room. "Woman, your rooms a mess!" he said as he picked up one of her PJ shirts which, unknown to him, had a bra underneath. When he saw the undergarment drop to the ground, he quickly threw the shirt at her. "That's disgusting! What kind of girl leaves her personal items everywhere!"

Sango once again rolled her eyes and leaned on her wall that her bed was placed against and continued to stare at the hanyou for a bit. What kind of crap was this? He's not getting in my face about my comment and he's…not even making that much of a fuss…

"Inuyasha" it sounded more like a command for his attention than a request for it.

Now seated on her computer chair and proceeding to roam the internet, he tossed her a sideways glance, chin resting in the palm of his hand, and quietly but firmly asked, "What?"

Sango folded her arms and looked down at Kirara who was peeking up at her from between her tail and leg with those big ruby eyes that would observe everthing. She sighed and turned her head back to Inuyasha who had reverted his attention to the screen.

"What happened?" Inuyasha could hear the concern in her voice, but also the annoyance, as if she already had a clue of what was wrong. He puffed a bit of air out of his mouth and, because it was partly covered by his palm, ended up blowing his bangs up a bit. But that was long enough for Sango to see the depression, confusion and anger in his eyes before the silver locks fluttered back to his forehead.

She grew stiff. "Inuyasha?" she said in a more delicate voice. "What happened?"

Her voice is so soft he thought before mentally scoffing a little. Typical Sango…

He hadn't paid attention to when she moved over to him to lean on the computer table, arms still crossed, and staring down at him with overwhelming concern. He peeked up at her through a slit in his bangs before resuming his business on the computer; using the mouse to click away at a game with one hand and the other still supporting his chin.

As worried as she was, Sango was also slightly irritated. It's one thing to not want to talk about your problems, but it's another to ignore someone. And having been his best friend since middle school, she knew that he was capable of doing both.

"Inu-"

"Break up with Miroku." Sango stared wide-eyed at him before blinking rapidly multiple times. Her arms loosened before tightening their hold. She was baffled! Here was the man who had been supporting her relationship with Miroku for the past 4 months, and all of a sudden he was against her?

"Inu-…why do you want me to-?"

"I think he & Kagome are starting to have feelings for one another." This broke her heart. Kagome had been Inuyasha's girlfriend for a little more than 6 months now and if he thought this…then what did he feel?

Sango opened her mouth the say something, but the more she stared into his now blank golden orbs seemingly intently focused on Solitaire, the more she imagined how much he was hiding his pain.

She shook her head back and forth as if doing so would make her disbelief and shock go away. "What makes you think they like each other when they-?"

"I just know Sango!" he suddenly yelled as he lowered his head into his palm so that they now covered his eyes. Sango was taken aback but somewhat angry at his sudden outburst and the fact that he hadn't let her finish a single question yet!

Just as she was about to scold him, he calmly said, "you just know when people like each other. You can feel the attraction in the air and there's plenty of signs…"

She didn't want to believe it, but the way he said it sounded so real. This made her feel a little sad before her mood quickly changed to that of determination.

"Well don't just sit there and mope about it. Let's go investigate! Clearly, they don't understand what loyalty means." Inuyasha's ears were pointed straight up at the sound of her determined voice and made him feel stupid about his weak behavior.

"Oh, get up stupid!" she said playfully as she smacked his head down on the computer table. Inuyasha instantly stood up, rubbing his forehead and looking like he was ready to slam her head in the wall. But when he the playful smirk on her face, he remembered why she was his best friend.

Smirking himself, he showed a toothy fang and said, "If you ever slam my head or even touch me for that matter, you'll see that cat fly out the window" as he pointed toward the napping kitten.

Sango was openly shocked and appalled at the same time. He knew how much she loved her kitty! Placing her hands on her hips, she gently told him with the sweetest smile "and if you ever touch my cat, you'll see you balls fly out the window."

His whole body froze and a nauseating churning was going on in his stomach. His eye twitching with fear, all he did was watch her as she happily walked past him, knocking into his shoulder on her way out the door.

When he heard her heading towards the door, he slapped his forehead and dragged it down his face, mumbling "she's so sick" before following her retreating form down the stairs, noticing the curves on her-

He physically slapped his forehead again, but it was so loud Sango looked back up at him as she reached the bottom step and quirked an eyebrow. "You're going to lose the last of your brain cells if you keep that up" and winked before heading into the kitchen to grab her keys.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and grinned as he jumped the last few steps, heading to the door. "Yea, yea, yea. Ya think you're funny, huh? Just shut up and drive" he said as he closed the door behind them, hearing Sango's quiet singing of Rihanna's song.
