Hey guys, heres the new chapter. I have to thank my beta, Angel in Alliance With Hell, for the bath scene idea. Enjoy.
Dance Me Crazy (Sango)
I sigh as I relax in the tub. I never get to relax like this. After a full week of work and school, I need some me time. My eyes flicker to the door. Well, work and school aren't why I want to be alone. Although it's been a month since it happened, he's still sticking to me like a whore desperate for her pimp.
I sink deep in the water, my headphones outstretched because one of my arms is hanging out of the tub. I like music while I take a bath, it's great.
My favorite part to this song is coming up. I start to bob my head.
Theres a loud bang against the door, and I shriek, throwing both hands in the air.
Miroku's voice comes from the other side of the door, "Sango, when ya coming out? I didn't mean to beat up that kid!"
I gasp at the sight of my iPod in the water. Nooo! "No!" I scream.
"I said sorry!"
"No! No! No! Why did this have to happen?"
"What?"
"Why can't I rock out in the tub!"
"...Sango?"
"Oh God."
I put my face in between my hands. I pick up the iPod. I press play and put my headphones in my ears. Silence.
"Uh... I'll get Kagome to check on you."
"My iPod!"
A A A A A A A A A A A
I angrily wring my hair out, and finish buttoning my pajama top. I bought that iPod with my own money, and now its gone!
I pout as I press play on it and nothing happens. The screen doesn't even light up.
Kagome walks in and falls on the bed. "Um, why did Miroku want me to check on you?"
"... I dropped my iPod in the tub."
Kagome raises her head and has a clear WTF expression on her face. "You need to rock out in the tub?"
"Theres nothing wrong with it," I say defensively.
"I won't question it anymore."
Inuyasha walks and almost immediately looks at me, "Uh, why were you screaming in the bathroom?"
I frown. Why does everyone know my business about what I do in the bathroom? Oh, wait, that sounds wrong.
"No reason." I sit on my bed, combing the tangles out of my hair.
Inuyasha sits down on his bed. "I need to get laid."
"Sorry, we can't find a breeder for you."
"Kiss my ass, Kagome. The whole thing."
"That'd take days. Considering it's so fat."
Inuyasha gasps, "You take that back!"
I sigh as I finish combing my hair. I need friends, not siblings. They're weirdos. I smile as Kirara jumps on my lap. Now if anyone deserves to get laid, it's Kirara.
I run my fingers though her fur.
"I'll kill you!" Kagome shrieks, and I hug Kirara close to me as she jumps off her bed and onto Inuyasha. You know what, I'm not even gonna try an break that up. I've got enough bruises.
Miroku comes in and I sigh.
"You know, I was only protecting you from that kid earlier."
"You were not! He was my friend and you mauled him!"
In class today, Miroku attacked a poor smart kid that wanted to help me with my work.
He casually kicks Kagome off of Inuyasha while maintaining eye contact with me. "Okay, I wasn't. Maybe I was jealous."
My heart does a double beat. This is not right! He can't be jealous of something like that, he;'s gonna burn in hell an take me with him!
I let go of Kirara and roll over on my side. Miroku doesn't say anything else.
A A A A A A A A A
I wake up early today so that I could hang out with Rin. We're going for a jog in the park today. However, man whore Miroku was not supposed to be awake yet!
I scowl as I tie my sneaker and Miroku watches.
"Sango, let me go with you!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"No!"
"That doesn't answer why!"
I sigh, "No, Miroku. Hang out with Inuyasha, do some man whore type stuff."
He leans against the wall, arms folded. We make eye contact.
"I haven't done anything man whoreish in a while and you know it."
I take a deep breath, hoping it will still my pulse and quiet my heart. He really hasn't. Him and Inuyasha stopped brining girls home. He talks to girls in school ,but for the most part it's just talk.
I pull my hair up into a high ponytail and I press a button on the remote for the TV. Theres a blue sign with an exclamation I didn't bother to read, the TV turns off.
"You're sick," I mumble as the door bell rings. I get up to open it and Rin is smiling at me.
"Hey! Ready to go? I jogged over here!"
I've been friends with Rin since middle school. Me and Kagome had been skipping class when Rin was playing volleyball outdoors with her class. She missed her hit entirely, and hit Kagome in the head. She apologized like fifty times, but I was laughing so hard I couldn't even be mad, Kagome smacked her though.
I nod as I hear Miroku go up the stairs. "Yeah."
"Something wrong?" Rin asks, as we head down the pathway and I shake my head. "No, I'm fine."
"You sure? You look like someone ate all your flowers."
I sweatdrop. "Um, no?"
We jog in silence for a while until we reach the park. It's a nice day, the sun is out, and theres a slight breeze, perfect for spring weather like this. It's quiet.
We sit down on a bench, and Rin offers her water bottle to me. I take it, and drink and Rin turns her big, slightly alien looking eyes on me.
"Whats going on? You seem down today."
I'm not down. Am I? I mean, the day is fine other than the fact that Miroku is an annoying penis lesbian.
"Whats a penis lesbian?"
"Ah! I said that out loud?"
Rin nods, "Yeah, you said something about penis lesbians but thats all I heard."
I sigh. "Miroku is such a-"
"Does he want to do you?"
"Gah! Rin! What the hell?"
"I'm sorry, it just seems like it."
"You know what, forget I brought it up."
Rin nods, then bends down to tie her shoe. "Whatever you say."
We sit there, not speaking again. The birds chirp, and not too far off theres a family playing with two little kids.
The school year will be over soon, it's already May. The idea of an entire summer with Miroku terrifies me. Hopefully he's over this clingy phase by then.
But I've adjusted to how attached he is. I've gotten used to him following me in the hallways, making sex jokes.
I sigh. I miss the days where siblings didn't kiss siblings. My hand goes up to my lips. I can still remember that night to clearly. I keep hoping that we both just got caught up in the music, and that it was supposed to be a part of the dancing.
For him, it wasn't though. It was something I had coming to me. That night changed my whole feel about the house.
Of course, I remind myself that he probably has multiple STDs so, it brings me down to Earth a little. Plus, he's too wanted.
Tons of girls have come up to me, wondering how they can go out with him. They know he's my family guest.
"You know, I heard this story once that a dog and a cat were destined to be together. But the cat thought that they would never be together because they were from two different species. The dog did not care and keeps going for the cat."
I stare at Rin, genuinely interested. "How did the story end?"
She looks at me, goofy grin on her face. "It hasn't yet!"
A A A A A A A A
I walk into the house, stretching. After the park me and Rin jogged back here.
I need a shower. I shrug off my track jacket and I stand in the center of the living-room, in my tank-top and sweatpants.
I yank my hair out of the ponytail. Stupid Rin. Somehow, some way, she figured out that me and Miroku are related by marriage.
I am not the cat in that story!
Theres a small noise and I turn to see Miroku coming down the stairs, eyes serious and hands stuffed in his jean pockets.
He's only wearing socks so he doesn't make nearly as much noise as he normally would have.
That serious stare gets directed towards me. "Sango."
I inhale, then quickly exhale. "Wheres everyone else?"
"Inuyasha went to a ramen festival, Kagome went shopping."
Then it dawns on me. We're all alone.
Maybe it's occurred to him too, because he's walking towards me. I can't move.
Or maybe I don't want to.
He walks up to me and rests one hand on my hip. I look from him to my hip and then to him again.
Those serious purple eyes are scaring me. Then he gets that typical Miroku smile on his face. What is he gonna do?
"Dance with me," he says.
I frown, "Stop being stupid. Theres no music and I don't want to-"
"Quiet," He moves the hand thats on my hip so that I can move with him.
"Move your hips with me, pretend there's music."
I don't why, I move. My hips pop, and my body swerves as I ask, "Why?"
He smiles again, "I want to see you move."
And so I move. This morning I would have never thought I'd be in the living room, dancing with Miroku as no music plays.
We don't even need a beat.
We move in the enter of the living room, all around it, we dance together. We should never be this in sync.
I move, and he yanks me closer.
"Miroku," I'm pressed against him. Right against him!
My heart just goes dead as he leans his face close to mine. I can feel the heat on my neck and face. Especially my lips.
He's only an inch away from my mouth, "Sango,"
I nod dumbly, "Yeah?"
"Guess whats not on the DVR?"
Ha. You guys were expecting a kiss scene, weren't you? Not that easy! For those that don't quite understand the DVR reference, in like chapter four or five, Miroku wants to know who's been deleting his soaps. Thanks so much to my readers with all your encouragement and suggestions, I really appreciate it. Please review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of Keep It a secret entitled: Don't Do This. Can't say I've really thought of anything too funny yet for that one, but give it time. Thanks for reading!
With that said, Sayonara!
