AUTHOR'S NOTE: pure idiocy
the real note: This was actually inspired by the song Objection by Shakira(even though there isn't a love triangle, I
would never do that). And no, it's NOT a song fic. I get bored with those silly things. This first chapter is a little
erm...tired. But it has to be for the plot. Next chapter is urm...exciting :).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Whenever! Wherever!
We're meant to be together.
I'll be there and you'll be near.
Tell me one more time that you'll live lost in my eyes.
Whenever! Wherever!
We're meant to be together.
I'll be there and you'll be near.
You've got me head over heels.
There's nothing left to fear, if you really feel the way I feel.
-Whenever, Wherever
Shakira
Sango sighed from boredom. They were all sitting somewhere in the village now without anything to do. Inu Yasha was human, so they couldn't exactly go off to fight youkai. And she didn't really feel like it anyway. She hated this feeling of boredom accompanied by idleness. After a moment of pondering this, she stood up rather lazily and strolled about the grounds near the village, slowly making her way over to the well.
Kagome-chan would be here soon...She sat on the edge of the well, setting Hiraikotsu next to it. "Maybe she'll bring some candy or something different from her world." Sango twisted her body around so that she could look down into the well. She wanted so much to see Kagome's world. Inu Yasha told them so many wonderful things about it. Large beast-like machines with other humans in them, enormous buildings, metallic birds flying in the clouds, a com...compu...ter? Something like that. She could listen to music whenever she'd like. Sango smiled. When she was young, she remembered a band of traveling musicians that came through her village. Their music was so beautiful. If only she could listen to it whenever she wanted.
A familiar ring of metal was the first sign of another's presence. "Sango. What are you doing out here?"
Sango looked up, surprised that she hadn't sensed anyone approaching. "Oh, ohayo houshi-sama. I guess I'm waiting for Kagome-chan."
He walked over and peeked into the well. "She is supposed to come back today, isn't she?"
She nodded absentmindedly. They remained in peaceful silence for a few moments, happy to be without troubles for a day.
"Ne...houshi-sama?"
He looked at her. "Hai?"
"What do you think?"
He smiled. "About what?"
She continued looking forward. "About Kagome-chan's world. It sounds so different. It's odd to think how things could change so much." She paused. "I'd like to go there."
He sat down in front of her, setting his staff onto the grass, and leaned back on his hands, basking in the morning's sunlight. "It would be different. She told me there is little magic. Doctors can be found everywhere. And there is much less sickness. Death is a very serious thing there..."
Sango looked at Miroku, a perplexed look on her face. "Isn't it here?"
"I mean whenever we kill a demon or whenever a demon kills a human, it's not such a big deal. It is a serious crime in her world to take away life."
Sango looked to the side towards the horizon, a bitter look distant in her eyes. [Of course it was a crime. It was one here too.] She stifled a few stray tears. [But what if-
"O~~~oww!"
Sango's eyes lit up again and she looked down into the well. "Kagome- chan!"
Kagome smiled up at her as she began her climb. "Ohayo Sango-chan! I'm sorry I'm late. My alarm didn't go off this morning and I had a few things to take care of. Oh! Miroku-sama! Ohayo!"
Miroku grinned as he stood. "Ohayo Kagome-sama."
Kagome let out a puff of air as she dropped her heavy bag onto the floor. "Where's Inu Yasha?"
"He's sleeping in a tree I think." Miroku said, picking up her pack. "That sounds like something he'd do."
Sango grabbed another smaller bag and added, "He's human today, so I guess he doesn't smell your scent yet." They all began their trek back to the village.
Kagome smiled as she tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "I guess not. Ne...Sango-chan. Remind me later, I brought you something."
Sango stopped walking and turned around with a smile. "Really? What is it?"
"I think it's supposed to be a surprise Sango."
Sango stuck out her tongue despite Miroku's charming grin, or quite possibly in spite of it.
"Inu Yasha~~~a!"
Sango smiled at Kagome as she jogged ahead of them. She was so sweet and naive about some things. But she had changed so much since the first time Sango met her.
"Sango. Are you okay?"
Sango looked at Miroku who was walking in pace with her. "What? Oh, yes. Just...in a rut I suppose."
He grinned. "I could fix that."
She glared at him. "I doubt that."
He continued, seemingly oblivious. "A good massage never hurt anyone."
She forced a grin. "It could hurt you."
They reached Kaede's hut. Miroku's merely gave an innocent smile and followed Kagome into the hut. Sango held onto her bag and stood in the doorway.
"Kagome!! I missed you so much! Inu Yasha was so mean while you were gone!!!"
Kagome gave a tender smile while hugging Shippou. "Oh Shippou-chan, I'm sorry. I would have come back sooner if I could."
She pet him comfortingly while kissing his forehead. "Would you like some chocolate? I brought some."
Shippou's eyes light up. "Yes!!!"
She set him down and rummaged through her bag. "Here you go!"
Shippou greedily grabbed the chocolate and chomped into it. "Thmuk yuh!"
Kagome laughed. "No problem."
"Where have you been?!! You're late!"
Kagome frowned at Inu Yasha as he stormed past Sango through the door and put her hands on her hips. "You're the one that's not even here when I come. How dare you call me late."
Inu Yasha stared at Kagome for a moment, but realizing he had no point, resolved to end the conversation with a resolute "Feh".
Kagome said no more, hiding a little smile and walked past him, grabbing Sango as she walked out the door. After they were out of earshot, Kagome told Sango to open the package she was carrying.
Sango looked down at her hands. The box she was carrying was about the size of Shippou, but fairly light and wrapped in pretty paper. "This one? This is for me?"
Kagome smiled. "Yup! I know you'll love it!"
Sango quickly dropped to the ground, almost giddy, and ripped off the decorative paper, opening the box. Inside was a dark colored metallic box- like...thing...with lots of buttons and two big black sections full of holes. Sango stared at it, completely bewildered. She gingerly picked it up and brought it to her ear. Hearing nothing, she shook it. ...Nothing. She set it back down onto the ground and stared at it again.
"Ano...Kagome-chan........What is it?"
Kagome beamed. "I remembered you saying how much you loved music, so I brought you a radio. But it plays CD's too, because the radio wouldn't really work out here. And it operates on batteries, so you can take it wherever you want."
"CD's...?"
"Oh! This!" Kagome produced a thin plastic box. She opened it to reveal a shiny, circular disk inside. "You put this disk in here. This side down." She closed the cover. "Then you press this button to turn the CD player on. And then this one starts the CD. There are lots of songs on here. And you can use these buttons to pick which one you want to listen to."
Sango watched Kagome, trying to obverse and absorb everything she said. Her very own music! Whenever she wanted! She was in bliss.
"The artist that sings this is Shakira. She's Latin."
Sango looked at Kagome blankly. "Latin?"
"It's a culture. Their music always makes me want to dance."
"Kagome~~~~~~e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Get back here you little shit!"
"Wa~~~~h! Kagome!" Kagome grabbed Shippou as he lept into her arms. Inu Yasha was close behind, waving his firstin the air.
"Shippou, come back here and fight like a man."
"No way! You'll hit me!"
Inu Yasha glared at the kitsune. "Wimp."
"Jerk!"
"Baby!!"
"Hanyou!!"
"COWARD!"
Kagome gave a heavy and tired sigh as she walked back towards Kaede's house. Inu Yasha looked after her, a puzzled expression gracing his face momentarily, quickly replaced with annoyance.
"Oi! Come back here!"
Sango grinned as she looked back down at her new...thing. "Whenever I want..." She looked up as she felt a presence.
"What is it?" Miroku stared at the machine, bewildered as Sango was before.
Sango pressed a button that said on. "It plays music."
He sat on his heels in front of her, looking over the machine. "Really? How? Isn't it a little small?"
She shrugged and pressed the play button.
A few guitar chords struck the air with a woman's voice hitting a few soft notes (for all us slow ones out there, the woman is Shakira, oh, and the first song is Wherever, Whenever). Sango smiled as some drums began a strong beat. She closed her eyes and soaked in the music. It was very sensual and tugged at the very strings of her soul. She couldn't understand it, but maybe that's what was the best part. Powerful stuff, music. Like Kagome said, Sango felt like dancing. She opened her eyes and realized that her body was already following the beat while she was sitting. And so was Miroku. She immediately stopped, a large blush finding its way to her cheeks.
"You have quite a talent Sango." Miroku stood with a playful grin.
She sat in silence, watching him go, taking his time. What had come over her a moment ago. She looked back at the machine, the music ending with a flute. How long had her eyes been closed? She quickly pressed the power button and gathered her things. Standing, she let out a puff of air she hadn't realized she was keeping. Next time, she would have to be alone, wouldn't she?

Aren't you excited? No? Tough. So what did you think? Will she be alone the next time? ::grins:: Who knows.....Peaches loves reviews. They inspire her to forget she has homework and to write more.......o.O
