I'm back! Sorry for the long wait! Anyways...

"You want somethin' ta drink?" A voice called from the kitchen.
It was after school, and Sango had just arrived at Inuyasha's house.
"No, thank you."
"Suit yourself." Inuyasha arrived back, with a cup of orange juice and a sandwich. "So, how's the project goin'?" Sango looked up from the stack papers that she had neatly placed before her.
"Fine, I guess. I didn't have much time to work on it." Sighing, Sango returned to her work. Inuyasha came up behind her and knelt down. He peered over her quite easily, since he was taller than her. She seemed so concentrated, so focused…
"You spelt that wrong." Whispering in her ear, he took her small hand in his own and corrected it, rousing a tremble from Sango. "There you go."
"Th-thanks…" A small meek voice spoke, slightly stuttering. Inuyasha smiled at the impact he had on her.
"Why don't you read out what you've got so far?" He suggested. Sango nodded.
"Okay, sure."
Inuyasha sat down on one of the chairs and listened intently. Or tried to listen. Her face attracted much of his attention. He'd never noticed how her eyes held a hint of sadness to them, or the unusual color they were. Mahogany. Nor did he ever notice how her nose had a stubborn tip to it, and how her cheeks flushed every time she peeked at him behind her papers. Her lips, her beautiful lips, were full and supple, a vibrant healthy color. Her high cheek bones, heart shaped face, silky ebony hair with a few hints of light brown in them let down in loose waves.
Beautiful…
Inuyasha sub-consciously stood up from his chair and in a daze, swept down and captured Sango's lips in a chaste kiss, silencing her from her words. A soft noise of objection came from her, but quickly melted into a moan. Groaning, Inuyasha slipped his tongue in her mouth, tasting her essence. She tasted like strawberries. Sango kissed back hesitantly.
Wait. What am I doing?
Suddenly, Inuyasha snapped back to reality. He pulled back from the kiss, shocked, and noticed how Sango's eyes were still closed with pleasure. They opened, and looked at him with confusion.
"Y-you should go." Inuyasha stuttered, walking off to the garage. "I'll drive you home." It seemed clear that they probably weren't going to get anything done today.
Sango stared at Inuyasha's back with a confused sad look that made her resemble a lost puppy.
Why, Inuyasha?
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOo
Inuyasha slumped against his arm in his car. He couldn't believe what had happened.
I can't believe I lost control…
After he had dropped Sango off at near the grocery store (she claimed that she had to get some stuff), he had returned home, but did not find the will for himself to get out of the car.
This is what I'm trying to achieve, right?
A abrupt ringing of the phone jolted him out of his seat. Mumbling curses under his breath, he left the car to get the phone.
"Hiya, dog!" Kouga's gright voice erupted through the phone.
"What do you want, Koga?" With his voice full of exasperation, Inuyasha slumped on to the couch.
"Dude, what's wrong with you? A bad night or somethin'?"
"Just get to the point." Inuyasha replied, his voice moody.
"God, okay, well I'm calling because…" Suddenly he could hear the speaker phone passed on to someone else.
What the hell?
"It's me, Bankotsu!" Faint laughter.
"What the?"
"Well, Kouga told me about the dare, and I decided to add somethin' to it. This is gonna be rich!"
"…."
"Okay, so after two months of going out with that girl, you have to…" Laughter again. Inuyasha growled. It was taking ages for him just to get it over with! "You have to…dump her and not tell her about the dare!" Muffled sounds sounded over the phone. There was no reply
"Dude, you okay?" Kouga was back again, with Bankotsu's hysterical laughter as background music.
"You already told me. I guess you were really drunk, since you forgot." Inuyasha stated flatly. "And I've decided. No way. No way in fuckin' hell."
"Come on, man, don't tell me you're gonna go back on this!"
"What about her feelings?"
"Since when did care? Last time I checked, you were a player prone to emotions!" Inuyasha felt a harsh blow to his pride. God, he wanted to deny it, but it was true.
You're just a player.
"Fine, but only this once. No more weird dares after this." Laughter and hooting could be heard in the background.
"Bye!" Kouga's voice yelled cheerfully. Inuyasha hung up without bothering to say goodbye.
What did I get myself into?
Sango tapped her nails on the counter of the grocery store cashier.
Tap, tap, tap...
It was raining outside, the rain tapping on the windows.
Tap, tap, tap…
It was strange, this sense of déjà vu…
It felt as if she could get used to being kissed by Inuyasha…
Blushing at the thought, she moved ahead by an inch in the line up. Who knew they were so busy on weekdays?
Tap, tap, tap…
"Could you stop doing that?" An unfamiliar voiced brought her out of her trance. Blushing a brighter shade of red, Sango bowed her head in an apology.
What was wrong with her? It wasn't like it was a big deal. She felt as if she were a eighth grader, blushing profusely and in a trance just because someone asked her out…
Which is true in a way…
Sango shook the thoughts out of her head. It was just a simple kiss. It wasn't like he meant it or anything. The thought of that made her touch her lips.
Did he?
He probably didn't, Sango decided. Why would he, a super rich and popular jock and player, be interested in her, a poor nerd just wanting to get a good scholarship? Glancing down at her clothes, which consisted of the proper High School uniform, although the skirt was lengthened, Sango contemplated her fashion sense. It wasn't that bad, although she wasn't like the typical High School girl, finding everyway to shorten or tighten her clothes without getting in trouble.
It's not like I could afford it…
"Miss, it's your turn…"
Sango snapped out of her trance like state. Mumbling a sorry to the unhappy and annoyed customers behind her, she loaded her food onto the counter.
Cup noodle, cup noodle, pop tarts…
Glancing behind her, she felt a disapproving stare. Her cheeks burning with humiliation, she knelt down and placed her basket in place. Sango knew that it was an extremely unhealthy way to live, but she couldn't help it; there was once a time when she sent disapproving glances to the people buying junk food.
They're cheap, they're fast, that's all I can ask for…
"Tsk, tsk, if you're done, get out of the line!" An elderly lady gave her an unsatistfied look. Cheeks burning flames, Sango paid her money hurridly and shot out the door.
Forgetting her products.
"Miss? Miss? You left your items here!" Despite his kind actions, Sango was already too far to notice.
"She deserves it, the rude girl. I'd let her be, if I were you. Kids these days!" The elderly lady snapped, pursing her lips in a way that made her look like she had a permanent problem with her lip.
Inuyasha pondered his dare, as he strolled along past the park, and into the local convenient store, although he was forbidden to go anywhere that was "below" him in standards. He just wanted a quick smoke.
Rolling his eyes at the appreciative stares from girls, he continued on his way, contemplating the situation he was in.
If I do the dare, my reputation gets a boost for the price of hurting Sango. If I don't, my reputation goes down and Sango's feelings are safe.
It was a win win situation. Since when did feelings matter to him? Kouga was right. He was just a player, prone to emotions getting in the way. It was a risk worth taking, even though he would be sacrificing Sango's happiness for his own.
It's not like she's got anything to lose…
Inuyasha mentally slapped himself for thinking that. Everyone had pride, and he didn't want to put down Sango by thinking that.
Now, if only he could get rid of Kagome…
Wham!
Something slammed into him from behind. Tripping over his own feet at the force, gravity pulled him down, along with the petit frame behind him,
"Watch where you're going!" Inuyasha barked at the person behind him. It was times like this when he fitted his name the most.
"S-sorry…"
Inuyasha spun around to that familiar voice.
Sango?
This was just getting better and better.
Halfway through her journey to her apartment, Sango realized that she left her purchased items at the store
Shit.
She knew it was bad to swear, but she had spent money on the stuff. She had to work long hours, and just the thought of it made her tired. Right away, she started sprinting towards the store. As the scenery beside her whizzed by, she understood why the gym teacher was always trying to get her on the team. She could run fast when she wanted to. However, the main reason she didn't join was that she didn't like to run without a reason. And a tag on a jacket was not a good reason.
Bowing her head down, she looked at the cement on the ground as she sped up even more. Clasping her hands together, she prayed that the grocery store would still have her items and not placed them back…
Wham!
Sango crashed into something solid, and immediately fell down by the force of the impact, bringing him along with her.
"Watch where you're going!" A annoyed voice barked at her. Her eyes widening, she realized who she had bumped into.
Inuyasha!
"S-sorry…"With not idea why she was stuttering, she looked down at her feet. Since when did she become so clumsy?
"Hey, it's you, Sango!" Inuyasha's voice immediately warmed up. Peering at him through thick bangs, she smiled shyly.
"H-hey…" Caught up in the moment, she didn't realize what she had been coming for.
"So why were you running?" Eyes widening, she realized that she had completely forgot about her groceries.
"Shit. I forgot my groceries at the store." So worried that she forgot who she was talking to, the inner spunk in her let itself be known through her words. Inuyasha gave her a surprised yet amused stare.
"Come on, I walk with you there, incase you crash into anyone else." Blushing profusely, Sango complied, walking at a slower pace beside him.
"So…" Sango began, attempting to make conversation. She never liked silence. "Why were you walking this way?" Warming up to his advances a bit, Sango stopped stuttering.
"Just to get a quick smoke." Sango stopped in her tracks and gave him a look. "What?" Sango shook her head.
"You shouldn't smoke. My dad died from lung cancer caused by smoking." With a hint of sadness, Sango told him.
"Yeah, yeah, that's what everyone else says. If they smoked, they'd realize how hard it is!" Speaking in an almost childish manner, Inuyasha pouted. Sango had to admit, it was fun and amusing to talk with Inuyasha. "Hey, we're here."
Walking into the store, a gust of warm wind past through her, causing Sango to lose her breath for a second. Her eyes brightened as she spotted the groceries bag she had used.
"I see it!" Rushing off in that direction, she grabbed it off the counter.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The manager came her way. "Can I see your receipt?" Sango let out a sigh of relief, and dug into her jacket pocket. Getting a little frustrated when she couldn't find it, she started to search her clothes. It wasn't there.
"I must've dropped it on the way here!" Sango told the manager as calmly as she could, so he wouldn't suspect her.
"Sure," The manager sneered. "Why should I believe you? I'm calling the cops. They should be glad to know that you're the one stealin' from this store." Sango's eyes widened.
"But I didn't do it! I swear on my death! Please believe me!" Sango was this close to falling on to the floor and begging and groveling for him to believe her. Unexpectedly, Inuyasha stepped in.
"If you don't trust her, I'll pay for it again." The manager spun around, ready to cuss at him, when he realized who he was talking to.
"No, it's okay, she can have it for free. Girlfriend?" Inuyasha nodded, as he was well known, as the man immediately smiled at him.
"Come on, Sango, let's go."
Okay, don't have time to make any comments. I have to leave!
Also, I'm not stereotyped or against elderly ladies, it's just that it was my only idea! .
Reviews and constructive criticism is appreciated!
