Sango woke up early the next morning. It was almost noon! She sat up in bed and brought her arms over her head stretching. She felt something push up against her side and looked down to see her newly acquired kitten Kilala.
"Hey there buddy." She picked up the small kitten and carried her over to her closet. "So what should I wear today?" The cat stuck out a tiny paw and clawed at a green t-shirt with a long sleeved black one underneath it. The shirt had silver butterflies on the front, all flying around a large rose.
"That
one huh? Ok, you're the feline around here." She placed the cat
on the floor and grabbed a pair of jeans, the shirt and all
undergarments, taking them all to her bathroom. After she showered,
she decided to put her hair up in a high ponytail, the tips of her
hair just touching the middle of her back. She picked up her new
sibling stone and placed it around her neck. Then she grabbed a pair
of green Chuck Taylors and slid down the railing to the first floor.
Her father was in the kitchen preparing a turkey sandwich .
"Hey
dad."
"Afternoon Sango. The wildness of the party took it's toll on you huh?"
"Sure did." She started rummaging through the cabinets for something to eat "I was beat."
"Uh-huh. So what's your excuse for sleeping in all the rest of the weekends in your life?"
"Um, I'm a growing girl and need all the rest I can get?"
"Ok, we'll go with that." He threw Sango a bottle of orange juice.
"Thanks pa. I'm going over to Inuyasha's, I don't think I'll be back until later. I'm teaching him how to ice skate." Her father laughed
"Ice skate? That boy is constantly falling and whatnot. No offense to the poor kid, but I don't think he has enough grace that it takes to ice skate."
"He has grace!" Sango argued, defending her friend "Remember, both him and Sess learned how to waltz when they were five!"
"That may be true but it's only because they're parents forced them to. And Inutashio told me that he had to constantly up the price for lessons because Inuyasha kept stepping on the teachers feet." Sango cracked up, her whole body shaking.
"Oh, wow. He never told me that." Once she quit having spasms she walked over to the keyring holder and grabbed an old pair of keys. Kagome's driving me. I'm supposed to meet her in…wow, three minutes. I'm gonna go."
"Alright. Bye."
"Bye dad!" Sango ran out the door to the awaiting Kagome. They both climbed into the car and started in the direction of inuyasha's house.
"Thanks for taking me Kagome."
"Oh no problem. I have to go to work anyway. And then I promised to call Miroku later." Sango took a swig of orange juice.
"So it's official then? Are you two going out?" Kagome had told her the whole story over the phone after her party last night.
"Well, technically he hasn't asked me out yet. But I have my fingers crossed."
"He will, don't worry Kagome."
"Thanks." she turned into the drive way of the Tashio residence. "So what are you and Inuyasha doing today anyway?"
"Getting him ready for his date on Sunday with Kikyo. He's learning how to ice skate today."
"The two of them are getting together then?"
"Yeah. He's really excited about it."
"Well I just hope no one gets hurt." She tried to give a pointed look at Sango but she was already half way out the door and missed it. She stuck her head in through the window.
"Yeah, me too. Well I'll see you later ok?"
"Alright. Bye San." With that she backed out of the driveway and zoomed off through the streets as Sango walked into the Tashio home.

Ayame walked quietly through the mall, her hands in the pockets of her tan cords. She wore a long sleeved blue shirt, with a small hood at the back. She quickened her pace as she glanced at the clock. She had agreed to meet David in the front of the gym, just around the corner from his job, in about fifteen minutes. She absentmindedly twirled a piece of her red locks between her fingers, as she sat at the bench in front of the gym. She looked inside the tall windows and saw many large body builders, she grimaced. She didn't see how anybody could want a guy that had muscles practically popping out of his skin. No, she preferred men that were lean, but still strong and toned. As she scanned the men inside she noticed the body of someone she knew well. Smiling she opened the door to the gym and walked over to the boy dressed only in a pair of gray sweats, who was currently stretching his muscles before doing another set of squats.
"Don't
you think you're fit enough Kouga?" Kouga turned his head at the
sound of Ayame and smiled.
"Naw, not quite. Have to stay in
shape for track, so I can kick Inu's butt when the time comes."
Ayame rolled her eyes at the boy's rivalry. "Plus it helps to
attract the ladies." She sighed at the comment. Of course.
"Anyway," she continued, acting as though it hadn't phased her, " how long have you been here?"
"Dunno. Probably about two hours."
"Don't over work yourself Kouga. You could really get hurt working too much."
"Yes mother." She smacked his bare chest playfully.
"Be quiet. Why have you been here that long?" Kouga was silent for a second, picking up some weights for his arms.
"It helps me think." He started lifting, one arm at a time.
"Oh, what did you need to think about?" Kouga paused mid-lift, glancing at her.
"Nothing." He started lifting again, and Ayame sat on the edge of a weight bench, watching. His muscles moved smoothly and easily, as he lifted his arms again and again. His abs contracting slowly as he breathed steadily.
'He's really fit.' thought Ayame, 'nothing like David. David is skinny enough, but at the same time he's kinda…lanky. He could probably pick me up, but it's nothing like Kouga.
Ayame shook her head gently. No. She mustn't compare the two. She was going out with David. She was over Kouga Wolf, or at least she was in the process.
"Hey," Kouga's voice snapped her out of her revere and she looked up at him, "You better go. Your lover boy's out there." Ayame glanced out the gym windows and sure enough, there sat David listening to something on his ipod.
"Right," Ayame sighed "I guess I'll go then. See you around."
"Yeah," Kouga replied, lying down to start bench presses, "later."
"And Kouga?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't work too hard alright?" He just started lifting the dumbbell in response.

Kagome walked hurriedly into the small daycare center, her hair billowing behind her.
"Sorry, I'm later Connie" she spoke to a small middle-aged brunette sitting on the floor with a few toddlers "I had to drop off a friend."
"It's not a problem deary. Your barely forty seconds late." She handed a tiny girl a marker to use in her coloring book. "We're lucky. There's only these four here today. It looks like we'll have it easy."
"Wonderful" Kagome picked up a red haired boy and set him in her lap "And how are you today Shippo?"
"I'm good Kagome. And look at what I drew." He held up a picture of a orange dinosaur with purple teeth.
"That is truly an amazing picture Shippo. Do you want to write your name on the back and give it to your mom when she gets here?" The little boy nodded and picked up a box of crayons, turning the picture over and getting out a green crayon.
"OK, so it's an S…H…..how do you spell it Kagome?" Said girl laughed.
"S-H-I-P-P-O"
Two hours later
"There's your mom coming into the parking lot Shippo. Go get your picture from your cubby and I'll grab your coat." Shippo nodded and ran off to the other side of the room as Kagome found his coat in the closet. She sighed, Shippo had been the last one here and Connie had left once Kagome had arrived. Once Shippo left, all she had to do was pick up and leave. She glanced around the colorful room at the boxes of balls, toys and paints. How did four small children create such a big mess? Just then the bell over the door jingled and in walked Shippo's mother.
"Hello Kagome, sorry I'm so late."
"Oh it's fine Mrs. Kitsune. Shippo and I had a great time."
"Thank you for taking care of him today. The husband and I just couldn't get off work."
"Mommy!" Shippo ran into his mother's arms and gave her a hug. "Look. I drew a picture for you, my name's on it and everything!"
"Well will you look at that. I don't think I've seen a dinosaur like that. Now why don't you get your coat from Kagome and we'll go and see your daddy at work." Shippo walked over to Kagome and she helped him into his green coat.
"Well
I'll see you on Thursday ok Shippo?"
"Ok Kagome. Bye"
"Bye Shippo." She gave him a peck on the cheek and waved goodbye to his mom as she opened the door and walked to their car.
"How come I don't get a kiss whenever I leave?" a deep voice asked. Kagome gave a little shriek and turned to see Miroku sitting in one of the small chairs at the painting table looking at her.
"Miroku! What are you doing here? How did you get in? And don't ever scare me like that again!" Miroku chuckled.
"I
just came to see you, and I came in through the side entrance. Sorry
for scaring you."
"It's ok, just, don't let it happen
again. So how'd you get here?" She stooped to pick up some of the
scattered puzzle pieces on the floor, watching as Miroku started
putting toys back on the shelves.
"I just decided to take a bus ride around town and I saw the daycare. I knew you were working today so I decided to just stop on by. That's not a problem is it?" He picked up a foam basketball and shot it into the balls basket.
"Oh, no. Shippo was the last one, I just need to lock up and then I can leave." Kagome put a stuffed animal on a soft chair and glanced around the now clean room. "Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the help."
"No problem."
"I'll get my keys and we can go. Wanna get a coffee or something?"
"Sure." He watched her as she stared rummaging through the items in clerks desk. " So you never answered my question."
"Oh?" She asked, not looking up from the desk. "And what was that?"
"Why I don't get a kiss whenever I leave."
"Oh, that question." She gave a smile of triumph as she found her keys and beckoned him to come to the front door where her jacket was. "Well generally I only kiss my family and the kids that go to daycare here. Well, them and my boyfriend." She stuffed her arms into her light gray hoodie and pulled it over her head. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and she turned her head to look at her dark haired friend.
"Well isn't that convenient? Because I was just going to ask you if you would consider going out with me. Thus making me your boyfriend." He turned her around in his arms. "So what do you say?"
"I say yes. I'd love to go out with you." Miroku grinned
"Finally. So now I have full right to do this." He swooped down and kissed her, his hands slowly going down her back. She smacked his head.
"You have a full right to kiss me. Not to grope me whenever you feel the need."
"Is that what I was doing?" He gave her waist a squeeze. "Well I'm going to go get my jacket. I left it by the door." he waited expectedly
"What?" she asked confused, "Aren't you going to go get your jacket?"
"Yes."
"So, why aren't you going?"
"I'm waiting."
"For what?"
"A kiss." Kagome blinked
"Um…ok. But why?"
"Because I'm leaving. I'm leaving this part of the room to go get my jacket in that part of the room, and you said your boyfriend gets a kiss whenever he leaves. I'm leaving and I'm your boyfriend, yay me." Kagome rolled her eyes but pecked him on the lips just the same.
"There. Happy now?"
"Very."

Sango slowly walked to the front door of the Tashio's , before stopping at the door and knocking. After all, her friends said it was rude to just walk into someone's house. She was about to knock again when she heard footsteps coming towards her. She waited and Sesshomaru opened the door, wearing a pair of jeans and a black Yellow Card tee.
"Hey Sess." Sesshomaru opened the door wider and stepped aside to let the petite girl through.
"Sango." She slipped off her shoes and laid them by the front door.
"And how are you on this lovely day my good lad?" Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow
"Fine. And you?"
"Just dandy my dear sir. Just dandy. Now, may I be so bold as to ask you where your younger sibling is?"
"The one that wastes his life away either in front of the TV or asleep in bed?" Sango giggled
"That'd be the one."
"Well he is currently doing the latter of the two activities. As far as I know he's still asleep. Well, comatose is more like it."
"Wanna try and help me wake him up?" Sesshomaru smirked.
The pair tiptoed down the hall. Well, Sango tiptoed. Sesshomaru just walked. He could be as silent as a mouse whenever he wanted to, and Sango always wondered how he could do that. Even when he was running, he didn't make a sound. 'Maybe that's how he always won when we played tag….'
Sango opened the door to Inuyasha's room quietly, and walked over to the bed. She looked behind her and saw Sesshomaru with the bucket of ice water balanced carefully in his hands.
"You know," Sango whispered, "he's not gonna like us much after we do this. Maybe we shouldn't and, you know, just wake him up the normal way." He gave her a look. "Yeah, I wasn't too found of the boring plan either." Sesshomaru lifted the bucket over his brothers head, hesitated only a moment, and then dumped.
"AHHHH!!!!" Inuyasha leaped out of bed, his whole front side soaked. "Niagara falls! What happened? Where's the fire? I don't want to be a puppy!" Sango collapsed on the floor laughing, Sesshomaru standing behind her with an evil grin.
"SANGO! SESSHOMARU! What were you thinking?!" Inuyasha was now shivering, "I c-cant even believe th-this shit!"
"Oh but Inu," Sango chuckled "it was so worth it. Your face, and then the water and…!" She started a whole new fit of laughter.
"It was quite humorous Inuyasha." Sesshomaru offered, setting the bucket down
"Oh it was quite humorous." Inuyasha mimicked "The h-hell it was. A lot of damn friends you are, and my own b-b-brother." He wrung out his hair, letting it drip into a puddle on the floor.
"Well, if you don't want to catch pneumonia dear brother," Sesshomaru said "I'd get dressed." Inuyasha looked at himself, wearing only a pair of shorts. "And if you don't want your skating instructor to hyperventilate and die, I suggest you calm her down as well." He then turned and walked out of the room, muttering 'Niagara Falls?' under his breath.
"Yeah you walk away Sesshomaru! You'll get yours! You just wait!" He looked down at his hysterical friend. "Oh calm down it wasn't that f-funny. I'm gonna take a shower. A warm shower. Contain yourself by the time I get back." He walked towards his bathroom, dripping water as he went.
Twenty minutes later he came back into the room in a pair of jeans and a Shikon High track team hoodie. Sango was sitting on his bed, staring up at the ceiling.
"You know, the only reason I'm forgiving you is because you're helping me." She grinned.
"Yeah, I know. I planned this well."
"Well lets go. If I'm gonna make a fool of myself, might as well get it over with."
"That's the spirit!" they walked out the door of his bedroom, going towards the front door downstairs. Inuyasha grabbed two pairs of gloves and Sango grabbed one of Inuyasha's scarves hanging on the coat rack and ran outside. They hopped in the car and drove a few miles to a small ice-skating rink just outside of the city. They both borrowed a pair of skates and were sitting on the edge of the ice lacing them.
"Your lucky Inu," Sango said, pulling on the string. "There's only a mom and her two kids here. Other than them, we're the only ones." Inuyasha grunted
"Yeah, lucky"
"Well it's not my fault that you invited her to go ice-skating on your first date!"
"You're
the one that mentioned she like to skate!"
"Well that doesn't
mean you had to listen!" she exhaled then took a deep breath.
"Okay, lets do this." She stood up and balanced on the thin
skates."
"OK, first thing's first. Stand up." Inuyasha
glared at her but grabbed the support rail to help him up. He wobbled
a lot , and was leaning heavily on the rail but managed to stand
straight.
"OK, not bad. Now for the hard part. Moving." She
pushed forward on her skates "Since the ice is so slick it doesn't
take much force or effort. You just push with one foot, and sort of
angle it. Like this." She made sure he was looking before pushing
off again, and making a U-turn back to him. She then took the crook
of his arm and told him to do what she had just demonstrated.
"Hmmph," Inuyasha grunted, not liking to have to depend on someone like this. "Kikyou better appreciate this." He pushed forward lightly but tripped on the tip of his skates and fell, landing right on Sango. He quickly stood up and offered a hand to the squashed girl, who accepted. She stood and dusted the ice off her shirt, blowing her bangs out of her face.
"Yeah, she better."
They started again, Inuyasha trying to move and then falling down. Sango trying to guide him by the elbow, and encourage him as he slowly progressed.
"Ok, that's it. Now turn left Inu, good." Sango watched as her friend skated with, by now, little flaw. The mother and her two children had left by now and it was only the two of them out on the ice. It was getting late, around five o'clock, and they both needed to get home. She motioned him over to her, and he glided towards her.
"So, how'd I do?"
"Well, as long as she doesn't ask you to do any flips or anything you should be fine. You're a fast learner." They slid over to the edge of the rink and sat on a bench and started to unlace their skates..
"Thanks." he smirked, "I guess it helps to have a good teacher."
"Aw shucks" she smiled, "Well when you put it like that…" The two put on their shoes and started towards the car.
"Hey," Inuyasha said, "Can I repay you for my lessons? I'll buy you some hot chocolate if you want."
"What
about the car? You can't drive while you drink or eat."
"I'll
get Jaken to come get it. Come on, I owe you." They stopped in
front of the red hummer, Inuyasha crossing his arms and leaning
against the hood.
"I'm your friend, you don't owe me anything."
"Let me do it anyway." Sango rolled her eyes but smiled all the same.
"Alright, lets go." Inuyasha grinned, he pulled out his cell phone and phoned the butler. He hung up shortly and faced Sango. "Ok, we're good. Anyplace you wanna go in particular?" Sango shook her head. "There's a place a couple blocks from here called Sasha's, how's that sound."
"Stupendous." The two started walking side by side up the street, in compatible silence. They walked into the shop, and stood in line. A young man stood at the counter and turned to Sango to take her order.
"What can I get ya gorgeous?" Sango blushed.
"I'll have a medium hot chocolate with extra marshmallows please." She turned to Inuyasha who was scowling slightly. "And he'll have a medium one too, only no marshmallows in his." The cashier nodded.
"Ok, that'll be $6.42." Inuyasha pulled out a dark leather wallet and handed the man a twenty. "Alright, your order number is 12." The two nodded and sat at a small booth until their number was called. They walked outside and started roaming the streets, with no where in particular in mind.
"Why don't you like marshmallows in your hot chocolate Inu?" Sango asked, sipping her drink.
"I ordered hot chocolate, not marshmallows. If I wanted a marshmallow, I'd eat one. I don't want my food and my drink all in one container."
"But it makes the drink all the much better!"
"Nope. Besides, all the marshmallows melt and make this creamy foam on your drink. I don't want that all over my mouth." They started through a park, the trees blocking the sun.
"Have you ever tried it?"
"No," he replied, "and I don't plan on it anytime during either the near or distant future."
"You should try it." she suggested, "It'll literally change the way that you drink this beverage."
"No."
"Just four marshmallows."
"Four? Hell no! I don't even want one!"
"Three?"
"No."
"Two?"
"Will
it shut you up?"
"Maybe."
"…One."
"And
a half."
"Sango!" She sighed.
"Fine. One marshmallow." She opened the lid of her cup and pulled out a white puff. Inuyasha opened his own and placed it in front of her. She plopped the thing down in the cup. "There. One marshmallow." Inuyasha glared at her.
"Stupid wench and her stupid sugary puffball." She elbowed him in the gut. "Alright! Sheesh." He took a gulp of his hot chocolate, swallowing the marshmallow too. Sango looked up at him expectantly, rolling on the balls of her feet. Inuyasha grunted. "It was OK."
"Ha! See I told you! It's magnificent isn't it?"
"It's ok, it's nothing that special."
"Uh-huh. Whatever you say Yash. Whatever you say…" They finished walking through the park and hopped on a local bus headed towards Inuyasha's house. Inuyasha looked at his companion sitting in the seat next to him. Even though it was fairly warm outside, she still had on her gloves and scarf. Her nose was even a little red still. He smiled, she hated it when her nose was red. There was still about thirty minutes left on the bus ride, since it traveled all around town and soon Sango fell asleep. Her head was leaning on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Oh look Rose." An elderly woman spoke, to her friend a couple seats behind the teens. "Isn't it cute? Her head on his shoulder."
"Yes.
How long do you think they've been together?"
"Well from
the looks of it, a long time. They looked very comfortable in each
others presence." Inuyasha started to blush slightly.
"Crazy
old hags." he muttered.
"How do you think they met Dorothy?"
"Oh,
I don't know. They were probably friends in the beginning."
"Yes,
your probably right." The bus halted to a stop, and the two old
women stood up walking down the aisle. They paused next to Inuyasha.
"Ah,
young love." Inuyasha blanched as they continued on, going down the
steps and walking off down the street. Love? Like a sister maybe but,
actual love? No way. Love was supposed to be something like this huge
lightning bolt that hit you. This amazing feeling that just shook you
to the very core. He hadn't felt anything but the rumblings of the
bus.
Sango moved against him, causing him to look down. He stared
at he for a second. Nope, no trumpets blaring, no fireworks. Nothing.
"Love. Stupid ladies not knowing what they're talking about." They continued the ride, Inuyasha not letting his mind wander back to the two ladies conversation. He woke up Sango when they were only one stop away from their own.
"Oh," she yawned. "Did I go to sleep?"
"Just for a little while."
"Hmmm. Sorry for laying all on you."
"Keh." They got off the bus and headed towards the Tashio house, Sango pretending to do hopscotch with imaginary chalk. Once they got in the only one home was Sesshomaru, who was sitting at a desk, in the study. Inuyasha checked the phone, and found a message for him.
'Hey Inuyasha it's Kouga. Listen me and Miroku were thinkin' about going to the gym and shootin' some hoops. We'll be there about six. You should come down so I can kick your sorry butt into oblivion. Meet us if you can. Later'
He told
Sesshomaru where he was going and offered to give Sango a ride home.
"Naw. I'm gonna stay here for a while and hang with Sess.
I'll see ya later though." He nodded and drove off to meet the
guys.
0o0
Inuyasha walked over to the court where his friends were playing.
"If you keep shooting like that Kouga, it won't take anything for me to beat ya." Kouga threw the ball at his head but Inuyasha only caught it and passed it to Miroku.
"So," Miroku said, making a hook shot. "Where were you today Inuyasha? We called your house about nine times. Sesshomaru threatened to kill us on several occasions." Inuyasha got the rebound , and started to dribble.
"I was just out with Sango." he ran and dunked the ball, listening to the twoing of the backboard. "What were you guys up to?"
"I was at the gym," Kouga answered, he took the ball from Inuyasha and shot. "I stayed for a good three hours. Ayame came by too."
"Came by your house?"
"No, the gym. She just came in for a while, but then she had to go meet her lover boy." Inuyasha smiled.
"Sounds like someone's a bit jealous Kouga." Kouga rolled his eyes.
"Of what? The fact Lindsay Lohan's taken?"
"No," Miroku answered, "Of the fact Ayame is." He went to go get the ball that had rolled away during their conversation.
"Ayame?!" Kouga gawked, "I'm not jealous of that David kid."
"Well," shouted Miroku over his shoulder as he started to wade through the bushes, "It sure seemed like you were mad at him for no apparent reason over at Sango's birthday." He retrieved the ball and threw it to Inuyasha and tried to make his way back to the court.
"I
wasn't mad at him, I just didn't like him too much. So sue me."
Kouga stole the ball and did a quick layup. "Besides Miroku, your
one to talk of jealousy. Aren't you the one that was constantly
jealous of me flirting with Kagome."
"Perhaps that was because
half the time you only did it to annoy me." He took the ball and
started criss-crossing.
"This is true. But it doesn't stop the fact that you were jealous." Miroku stopped and threw the ball over his head, trying to make it in the opposite goal. The ball thudded off the rim.
"Well no more of that my friend. Neither me getting jealous or you flirting with Kagome will occur anymore."
"Oh? And why is that. Making you jealous is one of my favorite past times." Kouga laughed as he shot another two pointer.
"Oh haha. Well I will have you know, that as of 3:27 this afternoon, I am officially going out with her." Kouga's mouth dropped.
"Really? It's about damn time!" He thumped him on the back
"Yeah man," Inuyasha said, "You've liked her for how long?"
"Ah," spoke Kouga, "the silent one speaks."
"I'da spoke sooner if someone had closed their mouths for more than half a second!" he turned to Miroku who had blushed slightly. "So I have to ask-"
"Have you kissed her yet?" Kouga interrupted
"I-what?"
"Have-you-kissed-her-yet?" Kouga asked again, "Come on we're your friends. Tell us."
"And if I have?" Miroku questioned, "Then what?"
"Nothing. Just wondering." Miroku rolled his eyes. He picked up the ball and made a little shot.
"Well, since Kouga and I have already spoken, what about your love life Inuyasha?"
"What
about it?"
"Don't you have a date with Kikyou?"
"Yeah,"
Inuyasha answered, tossing another two-pointer. "Tomorrow."
"Ohhh Inuyasha. The big ladies man."
"Yeah," Kouga added, "And he doesn't have to grope girls to be one." Miroku punched him in the arm.
"Anyways," Inuyasha said, "isn't it weird going out with one of your friends?"
"Yeah," said Kouga, "That's gotta be kinda awkward."
"Not really," Miroku replied, "If anything, it makes it better that we were friends in the beginning."
"I guess," Kouga said, then he turned to Inuyasha. "You know what I just realized Yash?"
"Hmmm?"
"Now, if he breaks Kagome's heart, we can beat him up!" Miroku paled while Kouga cackled.
"You're one weird kid Kouga." Inuyasha spoke, shaking his head. "You're both just weird kids."
Three hours later…
A tired and slightly sweaty Inuyasha pulled his key out of the front door and stepped inside, welcoming the cool rush of the air conditioner. He threw his shoes in the corner and dropped his gym bag by the coat rack and walked into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. He looked around the seemingly empty house, and spotted a note from his parents. It said the two went out to dinner and wouldn't be back until around midnight. It said he and Sesshomaru should just order pizza.
Inuyasha looked around once more and couldn't find his brother, he went upstairs to check his room, but the light was off and no one was sleeping in the bed. Puzzled, he went back downstairs to look in the family room, Sesshomaru rarely went there but Inuyasha decided to look anyway. He opened the door and found the TV lit up with what appeared to be the ending credits of some movie, he looked down at the couch and saw both his brother and Sango soundly asleep. Sango's head was on Sesshomaru's shoulder, and he had his arm wrapped around her waist. Inuyasha frowned, he didn't want to wake the two but he didn't want them to lay like that either. Oh, well. He went to turn off the TV and remembered the ladies from the bus ride earlier. He looked back at his friend, those ladies hadn't known what they were talking about. Sango rested her head on Sesshomaru's shoulder too and it didn't mean the two of them were in love. Some people just didn't know what they were talking about. Besides, it was Inuyasha's scarf that she was wearing.
"Humph," he grunted, "Crazy old hags."
