Okay, Chapter Three is finally up. Sorry it took so long. I just returned
from church camp with no music for five days! ((Cries)) So anyways, hope
this chapter doesn't suck.
Moving on...

--- Chapter Three: Fliers ---
Sango walked into the school building, a slight smile playing over her lips. She had been dreaming about her dance with Sesshomaru all night. She was quite sure he'd speak to her when she came in. He hadn't so far, shooting her hope down a bit. Shaking her head she kept walking down the hallway to History class where he sat in front of her.
"Hey Sango," Kagome called to her friend, waving for Sango to stop. Sango kept walking to the classroom. "Sango?"
Entering the room she hurried to her seat, sitting down and crossing her legs in Sesshomaru's seat. She stared intently at the door, watching for him to come in and waiting. Would be speak to her? She hoped so.
Sesshomaru finally came in, next to last just when the class was starting to settle down and the teacher was pulling out her material to teach. He sat down without a word to Sango and faced the front. She felt a little hurt by his actions but decided he just didn't want to get in trouble.
But he spoke yesterday, she reminded herself. No, no. Sango sat forward staring at the chalkboard as her teacher drew out the reminder for the test.
"The test is Friday, remember that. Write it down if you have to." She cleared her throat and turned to one student in the front, instructing him to pass out some fliers.
The kid stood up and shuffled down the rows, putting one on everyone's desk.
Sango picked hers up and read it quickly, seeing the top words big and bold. Rereading it, she was more careful about it, studying the small lettering at the bottom:
School Dance-a-thon Contest
Held at the gym: Friday
Celebration: Halloween
Dress Code: Costumes contest also.
Dance Rules:
)) Must have a partner ((
)) Costumes must match ((
)) Dancing has to be appropriate ((
)) Dance to only three songs. No more, no less. ((
Thank you and have a good time!
-Student Staff & Principal-
With wide eyes, Sango read it again. Her mouth was slightly open.
"Are you going, Sango?" Kagome asked her friend, turning to her with the paper still held in her hand.
"Definitely. That is, if I can find a good partner." Sango directed her words toward the back of Sesshomaru's head. He was writing in his notebook, unaware of the rest of the world. He hadn't even picked up the paper that was just passed out.
Giving a loud sigh, Sango turned back to Kagome. "You going to ask Inuyasha to dance with you?"
"Yeah, probably." Kagome said, going off into her dreamy state.
Shaking her head at her friend, Sango sighed heavily again and listened to her teacher for the rest of the period.
--- During Lunch Later That Afternoon In The Cafeteria ---
"So Koharu," Miroku said sneakily. He wrapped a wandering arm around her shoulders smiling at her. "Are you going to the dance-a-thon?"
Koharu blushed and looked down at her tray. "I don't dance."
"Oh come on. Sango can teach you. She dances very well." Miroku said with his eyes locked onto the top of Koharu's head.
Sango gave a loud snort and crossed her arms over her chest, leaning back. She was in no mood to eat, unlike Inuyasha. He had a roll in each hand, chewing on a piece of meat.
"I'm starving!" He exclaimed, chewing.
"We know." Kagome said, tracing circles in her mashed potatoes with her fork.
The rest of the lunch period passed quickly. The only one who talked was Miroku as he flattered Koharu over and over again, smiling at her.
Sango was thoroughly ready to puke.
--- Maine Street ---
Sango walked briskly, keeping her head down. She could felt her anger slowly seeping out of her body and surrounding her like a cast.
' Why won't he ask me? Was he just playing around with me? ' Sango though, randomly kicking at rocks as she headed to the mall to cool off.
: In this time are we learning, or do we sit here wondering why this world isn't turning around? It's now or never! :
She listened to the music as she walked through the wide doors and headed straight to the music store.
: Where's the truth for us to use? All we seem to do is lose, who we are and how we tried. Are we all the same inside? It's now or never to decide. :
"Sango."
The voice came out of nowhere. Sango set the CD she had been holding down and whipped around searching the crowd for who had called to her.
"Sango."
Slightly growling she spoke. "Who is it? What do you want?"
Mysterious as the voice came...so did Sesshomaru. He appeared directly beside her, still dressed in the school uniform. There was no smile on his lips, no frown.
"I got the note in class today. The one about the dance."
Sango didn't know what to say or do. She could be mad at him, or she could be happy he was speaking with her.
Tensely she replied, "Yes, I got it too."
"I suppose it's worth trying out."
"It is."
"Then you'll attend it with me, I take it."
Sango's mouth dropped open. Just like that he was asking her to dance with him at the contest!
"You mean, compete with you?"
"Yes."
"There is a lot of preparation in this Sesshomaru..." She said, distantly looking off.
"I know. We can meet after classes tomorrow and discuss our costumes." He turned to leave.
"I didn't say I would though!"
He didn't hear her. Sesshomaru was already gone, disappearing into the crowd and turning out the doors. Sango ran to the doors, her arm outstretched. He was gone.
Sighing to herself, she was also smiling on the inside.
' Sesshomaru asked me to the dance. ' She was dancing with herself while she thumbed through the new CDs. "There's nothing good here."
Sango turned to leave. Sitting outside she tapped her foot to the song.
: Her boyfriend he don't know anything about her. He's too stoned, Nintendo. I wish that I could make her see: She's just the flavor of the week. :
Faking air guitar, she listened intently to song. It fit her in a distant way. "Her boyfriend he don't know anything about her...he's too stoned. He's too stoned. He's too stoned."
"I wish that I could make her see, she's just the flavor of the week."
An arm snaked around Sango's shoulder. Tensing she jumped back, falling into a flowerbed. "What are you doing monk?" Sango cried.
"Just watching you sing. You sing quite well," Miroku said calmly, smiling at her.
"Either Koharu has finally had enough of your random nonsense or you have picked me to annoy today," Sango said coldly.
: Let's talk this over, it's not like we're dead. Was it something I did? Was it something you said? Don't leave me hanging in a city so dead. Held up so high, I'm such a breakable thread. You were all the things I thought I knew, and I thought we could be! :
Miroku gave a laugh, turning to watch the crowd. Sango regained her composure, sitting back on the edge a good foot away from him. Miroku closed the space. "Come on Sango, I'm not that bad." He smiled at her.
"Go bother Koharu."
"Still bitter I see."
"Bitter? Me? No," Sango excused it.
: You were everything, everything that I wanted. We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it. All of the memories so close to me just fade away. All of this time you were pretending; so much for my happy ending. :
Sighing to himself Miroku stood up.
"Sorry about all this Koharu crap."
"Did she dump you or what?" Sango said.
"Nothing like that. I'm just sorry." With that said, he walked off. Sango watched him go until he completely disappeared with the crowd.
Shaking her head she closed her eyes and looked at the ground. "At least I have the dance to look forward too."
