Useless writing goes here. I dont know why, but I cant start a story without writing here. Otherwise, I feel so wrong. Sorry if it's a little short. When I write, it seems long, but as I go back to proof read, it seems short. But, it has a good stopping place, so sorry!

Chapter 7: We Should Go
--
"I don't know Sango, he's actually complex," Kagome sighed, leaning against the couch in Sango's basement. It was really more like a second room. A very large room, but a room none the less. It had nice carpet, a couch, a television, pictures on the wall, and even a ping pong table.
"I just can't believe the jerk is acutally deeper than a puddle," Sango said as she sat on the couch. She threw a juice box in Kagome's lap as she opened her own.
"Thanks, but I don't know. He seems to have a lot of secrets," Kagome said before sipping some of the punch flavored juice.
"Everyone has secrets Kagome. I think he's just a loser," Sango said sceptically.
"Well yeah, but not everyone has extreme secrets like I think he does. I mean how often does stuff like that really happen?"
"Still! He's a loser, all he wants is attention. I bet you it's not even that bad," Sango said once more flipping through the channels, finding nothing good on.
"Oh, whatever Sango, you just want him to be a loser," Kagome threw her pillow behind her, hitting Sango right in the face. She shrieked and wacked Kagome on the head. "Ugh! What the heck! It was an accident!"
"How do you accidently nail someone in the head?" Sango asked and threw the pillow at her again.
"It easy! Watch," she threw it again, narrowly missing Sango and hitting the lamp that was sitting on the stand next to the couch.
"Kagome! Watch it! Your aim sucks." Sango straightened the lamp shade so she wouldn't get yelled at when her mom came downstairs. Kagome looked embaressed and mummbled an apology. "So much for accidently hitting my face," Sango laughed as Kagome growled. She was about to retort when her phone started to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket and answered with a hello.
Every few minutes she would make a bored face or a face to show that the person on the other side was talking an aweful lot. After a minute or so she said, "Okay, I'm at Sango's now. But, we'll be there as soon as we can." A loud voice came from her phone, making Kagome have to hold the phone away from her ear. After they were done she said, "Okay! We'll be there as fast as we can, even if we have to speed!" She promptly hung up on whoever it was.
Sango blinked a few times then asked, "Who in the freaker was that, and what did they want?"
"I'll explain in the car, come on," Kagome said, grabbing her hand and pulling her to the car.
Once they were in the car and buckled up, Sango asked, "Okay, now what was that about? You better hurry before I scream rape!"
"Sango, I haven't touched you," Kagome said laughing.
Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and made their fingers touch. "Now you did!"
Kagome laughed more as Sango looked dead serious. "Okay, okay! We're going to a meeting with my dad."
"And I have to go because? I mean, no offense Kags, but business isn't my thing. It's so boring, and I mean, look at us!"
Kagome looked down at their attire to see they both were wearing sweatshirts "Well, they can deal. We'll just not pay attention and make fun of their seriousness. It'll be fine," she concluded as they drove to the Higurashi building, exceeding the speed limit by 10 miles per hour.
Once they got there, they both stepped out of the car and with a deep breath they headed into the huge building. The elevator ride was a relitively long one. Who knew getting to the 50th floor would take so long?
The elevator made a ding sound signaling the ride was over which made both girls sigh with relief. They walked down the hallway and knocked on the door at the very end.
The door squeaked as it opened to reveal Kagome's dad. "Ah, girls. You made it. Good, come inside and have a seat."
Kagome looked at Sango, who just shrugged back. Once they stepped inside, Kagome look around at the table and noticed who was in the room. It was the whole gang; Renjiro, Suki, two empty chairs, Souta, Shippo, Inutaisho, Izayoi, Inuyasha, a random guy, Sesshomaru, and a random girl. 'Oh god, what's going on,' Kagome's mind fluxuated with different ideas. She took a seat next to her mother, and Sango sat next to her which meant she was next to Souta too.
Renjiro was at the head of one side, while Taisho was at the other. Kagome kept looking between them as the tension in the room built. It seemed no one really knew what was going to happen.
Renjiro cleared his throat, signalling the begining of the confrence. "Well, we're all here for a few reasons. A few introductions and an update on how things are going. I'll pass it to Sesshomaru."
Everyone in the room put their eyes on Sesshomaru, who looked confused for a moment, before catching the hint. He stood and grabbed the woman's hand who was sitting next to him. "Everyone, this is my intended mate, Rin." She began to blush as everyone's eyes moved to her. A few people said a hello, and nice to meet you, as she bowed to say hello back. She was a pretty girl with medium brown hair falling a little past her shoulders and dark eyes that seemed to glow with joy. A smile never left her face as she sat back down. Sesshomaru nodded his head to Inuyasha.
"What? Is this why I brought Roku?" Inuyasha asked, feeling clueless. "Why does it even matter?"
Taisho sighed, knowing this wasn't going to be an easy meeting. "We want you and Kagome to let each other get to know more people in your guys' life," he paused, then continued, seeing as Inuyasha didn't move to say anything. "Just introduce him for god's sake!"
"Alright, alright. Everyone, this is Miroku the perv. Miroku this is people," Inuyasha said, being blunt.
"Hello everyone who doesn't know me. I assure you my friend is wrong, I am not a pervert." He bowed deeply and sat back down, albeit with a small smirk on his face. Inuyasha snorted and mummbled about dumb perverts under his breath.
"I, uh, suppose it's my turn?" She sighed and pointed to Sango, "This is my best friend, Sango." Sango mummbled hello, not liking attention very much.
"Alright! Now that you are introduced, I'd like to know how your relationship status is going," Taisho stated.
"Well, from what I've heard, Inuyasha's a loser with secrets," Sango explained.
"Sango!" Kagome smacked her arm with a small smile. "That's not nice!"
Sango mummbled under her breath saying, "It's true, is it not?"
"I am not a loser!" Inuyasha snapped at her.
"Don't yell at my friend, Inuyasha! She's nice and actually talks to me, unlike some people!" She glared at him while standing up with her hands on the table.
"Yeah, well maybe I have my reasons!" He snarled back.
"Guys, guys, let's calm this down, I'm sure we can talk this out!" Miroku said, trying to stop the madness. He got both of them to sit back down, with some coaxing from Sango.
"This is good, we're getting somewhere...I hope," Suki said with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah right Mom, he's so shut tight it would take a sledgehammer and a drill to get anywhere with him," Kagome commented, rolling her eyes as she talked.
"I think we should stay out of this and let them work it out," Izayoi commeneted from the sidelines.
Renjiro and Taisho nodded their head and began shuffling everyone out of the room except Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku. Before Kagome's dad left, he commented, "You guys should at least try and get to know each other. Go somewhere together or something, all of you." He then left and shut the door, heading to the spare confrence room right next door to wait.
There was an awkward silence that filled the room for a few seconds before Miroku stood up and went around the table to spin Sango's char sideways so he could stand in front of her. He grabbed her hand and said, "Dearest Sango you are the pinacle of beauty," he paused to see her reacation, and seeing her blushing face made him continue, "And I would be honored if you would go on a date with me."
Sango stood up and turned around holding her hands to her face so Miroku couldn't see. She was thinking to her herself, 'He's so charming! Maybe I should give him a shot...' Then, she felt a foreign hand on her bottom making her screech. She turned to face Miroku with a strong glare on her face.
He quickly pulled his hand back and said, "Sorry my dear, but what would your answer be?" He smiled a very smooth smile.
"No! You're crazy!" She slapped him and made sure he went back to his seat. She fumed in her seat with her arms crossed when she sat back down.
Kagome was leaning on the table with one hand holding her head as if she had a migrane. She sighed and said, "This is one messed up day. Can we all just please get along?" She looked around the room to look at each person then shook her head and held her head with both hands this time.
"Kagome is right. A beautiful woman such as her shouldn't have to carry our burdens around with her," Miroku delivered.
"Oh, you just shut up! Inuyasha was right, you really are a pervert!" Sango glared at him for the longest time before Inuyasha broke the intimidating silence.
"Guys, I hate to say it, but Kagome is right. Let's all just try to get along, okay? I'm sure it wouldn't kill us," he paused before adding, "Maybe some injuries, but it won't kill us," as an after thought.
"Thank you!" Kagome cried, smiling at Inuyasha, thankful that he helped her. Inuyasha got an almost invisable red hugh on his cheeks, and looked away. Kagome bit her lip, seeing that it was still a little awkard between them.
"Alright, I guess we can try to play nice. I mean our friends are going to eventually be married," Sango said, directing the last part of the sentence to Miroku.
Miroku smiled at Sango, "I would love for us to play nice with each other."
"I swear to god, if you start that, I will severily injure you," Sango said, eyebrow ticking in annoyance.
Kagome smiled again, "Alright, now that we are all not fighting and are in an okay mood, we should do something today so we could get to know each other better, like Dad said."
"Well, what could we do?" Inuyasha asked, finally turning around to face everyone. Sango giggled because they were in an offical office, yet they were just trying to find something to do today.
"Well, there's having this carnival thing downtown," Mirkou suggested.
"Oh! The Fall Festival! That's a great idea Miroku! It would be tons of fun," Sango said, much like a little kid would.
"I guess would be fun. We should go," Inuyasha said, glancing at Kagome trying to see what her reaction was.
"Alright then! It's settled, we'll go around 6. It gives us a few hours to get ready and sometime to get there. Then we can watch the fireworks around 9!" Kagome smiled brightly. "Me and Sango will go to my house to get ready, and you guys can go where ever to get ready, then pick us up around 6. It only takes like 15 minutes to get there."
Inuyasha nodded, "We'll go to my house. Let's go perv for brains." Inuyasha grabbed the back of Miroku's shirt and dragged him out of the room. He left with a small wave before shutting the door.
"Well, I guess that's our cue to leave?"
"Shouldn't we tell the others? I mean they might think someone was killed and kidnapped," Sango stated.
"Okay, I'll tell them, and you head to the car," Kagome threw the keys to Sango as they both walked out of the room. Sango walked to the elevator, as Kagome opened the door to the spare confrence room. She peeked her head in and said, "Hey, us four are going to the Fall Festival tonight."
"Terrific! Have fun," Renjiro said with a mighty smile.
"What time will you all be home?" Suki questioned.
"I'm not for sure Mom, we'll call though," Kagome said. She waved bye and closed the door. She turned to the hallway and saw Sango just stepping on the elevator. "Sango! Wait!" She started dashing down the hall. Sango turned around, and saw Kagome running. She went to stop the elevator, but she didn't make it on time. The door closed right in front of Kagome's face. "Ugh, just my luck!" She hung her head and started her trek down the long stairs of doom.
When she got to the bottom, she was worn out and looked like she just ran a marathon, which seemed partially true. She dragged her body out of the Higurashi building and once she got to the car she flopped into the passenger side. "I hate you Sango."
"It took you long enough!" She started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
"I actually ran down the stairs, it would of taking three times longer if I walked, so be thankful!" She snapped back.
Sango laughed and shook her head, "Alright Miss Marathon, you can have first shower."
Kagome looked over at her, "We have like 5 bathrooms, I'm sure you can use one of those."
"Oh yeah, well, you can use your own bathroom. Fair?" Sango giggled more.
Kagome shook her head and agreed. They had two hours to get ready, and she could not be more excited!
