Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.
A/N: It's chapter threee! Lol, as you can clearly see, I'm having a lot of fun with this one and updating it as much as possible. Which only means I'm neglecting my other fics, so I'd much appreciate reviews to know I'm not wasting my time lol.. ENJOY!
"Does that guy ever shut up?" Inuyasha asked, sitting slouched and aggravated at being woken up by a man talking to a woman. Miroku yawned and shrugged.
"Beats me."
"Well, it was kinda rhetorical." Inuyasha said, uncrossing his arms to stretch. "What t-time is it?" He yawned out.
"Says that it's 6:30 A.M. on my watch. What about yours?" Miroku asked and Inuyasha pulled his phone out to see.
"Says it's 6:32, mine's right yours is wrong." Inuyasha said, stifling a yawn.
"Sure, I bet."
"I'm serious, look at the clock up there." Inuyasha pointed at the bus clock that said 6:31. Miroku stared at him.
"What is your point, please tell me."
"Well, everyone knows that bus clocks are always one minute behind. So clearly, my time's right and yours," Inuyasha grinned. "Is wrong."
"I'm too tired to disagree." Miroku said, leaning back on the chair.
"So, think we should stop anytime soon to get breakfast or something?" Inuyasha asked, putting his backpack behind him to use for as a cushion. Miroku wiped his face to try to shake off the sleep then shut them.
"Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"Well, this bus goes to a halfway point, then we can get something to eat."
"What halfway point?"
"Inuyasha, honestly, a halfway point, halfway to Kyoto."
"Ooh."
"Yeah,"
"Well, I'm starving. How the hell are we gonna last almost a whole day without food?"
"Trust me, we'll manage."
"No, I'll manage and you'll die of starvation." Inuyasha said maliciously.
"And how's that?" Miroku said, opening an eye to look at him.
"I brought some snacks and they're all in my bag." He told him. Miroku smirked.
"I can't believe you find me dumb, Inuyasha."
"Why is that hard to believe?"
"Shut up." Then he got back to his last comment. "I have food too ya know." Miroku lazily crossed his arms.
"Really?" Inuyasha asked, knowing he didn't pack anything.
"Yeah, really."
"Well, then let's see it."
"...Sure, just give me a sec." Miroku reached in his bag. Nothing.
"Inuyasha, did you...?" Inuyasha looked the other way.
"What?"
"You did! You took my food!"
"What? Nooo, not me." Inuyasha said, opening his bag to get the food and eat it before Miroku caught him.
"Ha! What's that you're eating?"
"What, this? Oh nuffing." He said with a stuffed mouth.
"You lie!" Inuyasha turned, his mouth empty.
"Miroku, I can't believe you'd think I'd look deliberately in your bag, while you were asleep, to see if you had any food in it, and then steal it!" Inuyasha said with mock hurt.
"Oh yeah, I bet, gimme some of that."
"...No... mine." Inuyasha gobbled some more of the bar down. There was one more left. "Ugh, here." Inuyasha handed him the whole breakfast bar while he finished off the other.
"Thank you, I'm proud."
"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha slouched back in seat and sulked.
"Hey, would you boys keep the noise down?" The man who'd been talking so loud he'd woken them up asked in a rude tone. Inuyasha scoffed.
"Not for you, old man!" He boomed and Miroku discreetly punched him the leg.
"Uh, sorry. He's not a morning person." Miroku told the man.
"Like I care," He rudely turned around and Miroku had, had it with this guy.
"Hey, asshole, you don't own this bus! You might wanna think about that next time you're squawking at 6 in the morning!" Miroku yelled. The man turned around.
"I was not!"
"Oh yeah ya were," Inuyasha said, his eyes bugging out. "My friend and I were trying to catch some sleep and you were talking to that woman next to you who was probably BORED out of her mind, and you were NOT being quiet." The man was blushing slightly at the two boys comments and looked at the woman beside him.
"This is my wife!" He yelled back. It was Inuyasha turn to slightly blush.
"Why don't you both shut up!" A young lady stood up and fumed at the two people in the back. "I'll tell ya what," Her face was red with anger. "If all three of you don't shut up, I'll come back there and make you!" She flexed her fist and cracked her knuckles while she laughed crazily under her breath.
"Okay young lady, okay." The old man said nervously. Inuyasha and Miroku both laughed quietly in amusement. Then they noticed that girl was walking to the back.
"Hey," She said cheerily.
"Uh, hey." They said in unison.
"I'm Sango, by the way."
"I'm Miroku."
"Inuyasha." She laughed.
"I just wanted to let you two know, I was really yelling at that old guy." She whispered, going closer to them. Miroku smirked in amusement. "He was talking up a storm this morning, wouldn't stop! And trust me, you weren't the only ones who woke up because of it." She sat down on one of the seats across from them.
"Well Sango, it is a pleasure to meet you up close. You're beautiful from afar, but this..." Miroku's eyes traveled her body. Inuyasha smacked himself openly.
"Nice one, smart ass." He said in a hushed tone. Sango was growing red with anger and stood up then bent down.
"So, ya like whatcha see?" She asked him. He nodded his head smiling like crazy, being the pervert he was. "Well.." Then she slapped Miroku's smile right off his face.
"Hey, what the hell was that for?" She sat back down.
"For being a pervert." She answered simply.
"Oh," He grinned and got a kick in the shins. "Hey!"
"If you'd stop being a pervert, I wouldn't have to do that."
"No one invited you over here, you came yourself." Miroku said, getting a little angry.
"Shut up Miroku, you're only getting what you deserve." Inuyasha said stiffly. "You're welcome to stay Sango." Inuyasha said, enjoying Miroku's suffering. Sango smiled at him for thanks.
"So, where are you guys going?" She asked with interest.
"We're going to Kyoto." Miroku told her. Her eyes seemed to light up.
"Me too! We're having a little get together I think, don't know though." Sango told them. Inuyasha and Miroku glanced at each other.
"Us too, we're going back for my mom's birthday." Inuyasha let her know.
"That's cool, I'm just going 'cause I was invited by my mom. She told me it'd be fun, which I doubt. The house it's gonna be at is absolutely gorgeous. I got a picture of it in the mail, look at that yard!" She showed them the picture and they gasped.
"Weird!" Inuyasha said.
"What, what is it?" Sango asked.
"Well, that's my aunt's place. That's where we're going." Miroku told her. "Isn't it so strange you're going too?"
"Whoa, yeah that is weird." Sango said. Then Inuyasha and Miroku saw her mood lighten from her 'whoa' one. "This is actually gonna be pretty fun." She grinned. The other two were confused.
"Fun?" Inuyasha repeated.
"Well yeah, I've decided I'm gonna travel there with you two. Mom always said, 'There's positives in threes. In case one of ya dies, there's always another person there to take their place!'" Sango told them, her ponytail bobbing up and down at her excitement.
"Riiiiight," Miroku said, his brow lifted.
"Hehe, okay then." Inuyasha said, backing further into his seat.
"Oh come on, it was a joke." She laughed. "Well, the last part was. But the part about me traveling with you two, not so much a joke. What do you think, maybe?" She looked at them hopefully.
"Sure, what's the point in splitting up when we're gonna see each other at the party anyway?" Miroku said logically.
"Right!" Sango said, her fist in the air.
"Hey, am I not entitled to an opinion?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku shook his head.
"I already know your opinion."
"So?"
"So. You'd say, 'No way in hell is she coming!' and yet she'd still come because I'd say it's okay. Deal with it, you know I'm right."
"Feh," Was all he said then he crossed his arms and ignored the other two for the next ten minutes.
"Soooo," Sango said. "Anybody know what time it is?"
"It's... hang on a sec." Miroku took out his cell phone. "It's 7:05."
"7:07..." Inuyasha muttered.
"What was that?" Sango asked.
"Nothin," Inuyasha said and ignored them some more. The other two sighed to themselves almost simultaneously.
"So, do you think your mom knows my aunt?" Miroku asked her. She shrugged, not really knowing.
"Probably, why else would she have invited me?"
"True, well it's just funny Inuyasha and I have never heard of you. What's your last name?"
"Taijiya." She told him and he nodded his head. The name did sound familiar now that he thought of it.
"Oh right, you're mom and my aunt always, and I mean always, talked on the phone!" He said with realization.
"What's your last name?" She asked him.
"Oh it's Priest."
"Nice," She said with a small giggle.
"Hey, I like it." He defended with a smile on his face. "Anyway, that's not her last name, it's mine. Hers is Takahashi."
"Well, now that you mention it, you're right. They did talk on the phone constantly." She said. "They must be good friends." Sango smiled, settling the matter.
"I've decided..." Inuyasha began painfully and randomly. "That Sango can join us on our way home." Miroku laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay," Miroku said.
"Thank you!" Sango got up and hugged him.
"Gah! Get off of me!" He yelled and Miroku began to sweat drop.
"Yay! I promise, I won't be annoying or talk a lot. Do you think I talk a lot? Some people say I do but my friends say they're insane. I mean, I talk just like everyone else and..." Sango went on.
Inuyasha and Miroku just sat there, watching her talk thinking, 'What have we gotten ourselves into?'
A/N (At the end of the chapter): Okay, well that's it for now. Pleeeease review! Chapter four's coming soon, trust me lol.
