Falling Star
Sango stood in front of the room that Miroku was currently occupying. She fidgeted nervously. She had no clue as to how she was going to do this. Calm down, Sango, it's easy and simple. You're not even the one apologizing. All you have to do is say you forgive and ask him to the festival. But in a way that completely states that your intentions are completely platonic. That isn't so hard, is it? She took a deep breath. "Hey, perv!"
"Sango?" was the weak yet hopeful reply.
"I-I've been thinking lately and I've decided that maybe, just maybe you've been punished enough," Sango tried.
"Really?" Sango could imagine Miroku jumping off his bed and leaping to the door in excitement.
"But, you need to prove it," Sango's voice gained certainty and determination.
"Anything you ask, I'll do," his voice seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"C-Come to the festival with me...and Kagome and Ayame and Ayumi and Yuka and Eri and stuff..." Sango's strength started to waver, "And if...if you behave yourself then...then maybe, just maybe I'll...I'll forgive. But this isn't a date or anything! Because I have like no...I don't have any feelings for you...at all....in a romantic fashion I mean..."
The door swung open and Miroku stood smiling brightly, "Of course. I'll go and I promise I'll behave."
Sango couldn't help the smile that spread on her face. "Great."
...with Ayame and Kouga...
Ayame found herself holding another box of chocolates behind her back as she shyly stood by the couch where Kouga was watching his idiotic shows. Dammit, Ayame! Are you going to try and use chocolates for everything! She even bought them from the same store, Choco-Chu. Her hands gripped around the box.
"Uh...K-Kouga," Ayame started weakly.
Kouga turned to her and switched the television off.
Ayame blinked in surprise. "Y-you turned the television off?"
Kouga shrugged, "I've already seen it all anyways. So Ayame, did you want to say something?"
Ayame stood there in awe for a moment and she fruitlessly tried to blink back tears of happiness. She lowered her head and shoved the box of chocolates in his face.
"This again?" Kouga replied as he took the chocolates. He blinked in surprise as his nose picked up the scent of saltwater, "Ayame, don't tell me-"
"I'll stop crying only if you go to the festival with me," Ayame demanded.
"What?"
"This time the chocolates are for you," Ayame looked up at him with a deep blush.
Kouga blinked in surprise and his face also went a crimson colour.
"Congrats, Ayame," Shippo sat from the stairs and completely killed the moment.
Ayame's eyebrows twitched in irritation and Kouga had a matching expression.
"Shut up, squirt," Kouga snapped.
Shippo smirked in amusement and leaned back on the stairs. "I hope you guys have fun at the festival. You know, I've never been to a festival, but have a great time anyways. I'm sure-"
Ayame sighed, "Shippo, you wanna come to?"
"DO I EVER!" Shippo jumped onto his feet.
Ayame rolled her eyes and sighed, "Then, of course, you can." I hope Kagome and Sango don't get mad at me. At least not as mad as I am at myself. Romantic atmosphere demolished completely...misson accomplished Shippo. She discreetly glared at the redheaded boy who jumped up in enthusiasm.
...and finally, with Inuyasha and Kagome...
Kagome stood with her back against her bedroom door, she had been watching Inuyasha sleep ever since she got home. She realized how creepy she was being but she couldn't bring herself to disturb his sleeping face. And she couldn't bring herself to move much either. This is stupid. This is stupid. This is stupid. This is SO incredibly stupid. I don't even wanna go to this stupid festival. Forget this whole thing. I'll just hang out at the shrine, anyways. Who needs a stupid school festival! Kagome reached for her phone. I'll just call them up and tell them I'm not going. Or, better yet, text them with my new full QWERTY keyboard. Yes, that's exactly what I'll-
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Inuyasha sat up, "You've just been frozen there for two hours."
Kagome's face went a deep shade of red. "I thought you were-"
"I was...sorta..." Inuyasha answered, he ran his hand through his silver tresses, "Do you have something to say or something?"
"Um..." Kagome, what are you doing? Just say no. You just decided you're not even going to go. So you have nothing to say. Nothing. To. Say. "Do you wanna go to my school's festival?"
Inuyasha blinked in surprise (as did Kagome). "Uh, sure. Why not?"
Kagome smiled brightly. "Sweet."
Inuyasha felt a light blush decorate his cheeks. "Sweet."
Kagome inwardly let out a sigh of relief. See, I knew there was nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing that can bring me down!
...
Ayame smiled brightly as she headed to school until she caught sight of Kagome's brilliant smile. Then she remembered something.
"K-Kikyo's coming?!"
Ayame bit her lip. Should I tell Kagome?
"Especially when he has Kikyo."
Ayame began to chew on her lip nervously. Which would be worse? To tell her now and possibly ruin the rest of her week...or to not tell her, pretend I never knew and see her face when she catches sight of Kikyo at the festival? Wait, should the guys know? Wait...does this mean the guys can't even come? Should we not go to the festival? Ayame's head started to spin as all these questions started to pop up in her mind.
"Ayame, are you okay?" Kagome asked worriedly as she placed her hand on Ayame's forehead.
Ayame looked between Sango and Kagome. "Y-yeah, of course!" She forced a smile. "So...did you guys manage to convince the Scenesters to come along?" No...please say no.
Sango and Kagome both simultaneously spread into meek grins as their faces reddened. They nodded.
Crap... Ayame clenched her teeth. "M-Me too."
Sango and Kagome traded glances. "Ayame, is something wrong?"
"No! It's just that..." Ayame searched her mind, "That..." Should I tell them? It seems everything is progressing so well with everyone. Do I really need to ruin this? No, I should tell them the truth. Either way, the festival will be ruined for us. It's better for everyone if we just don't go...or find other dates... "That...Shippo said he wanted to come too. And I...I told him he could come."
"You know, I've never been to a festival..."
Ayame began to chew her lip even more nervously. Shippo really wanted to come...I can't tell him that he can't now...can I? But...what if he runs into Kikyo? I...don't know what to do!
"Ayame," Sango furrowed her brow, "You really seem distressed about something."
"What? No...I'm not distressed" Ayame put back on her forced smile.
Kagome and Sango traded worried expressions.
But if they go...and confront Kikyo...what if...what if Kikyo isn't mad anymore? What if Inuyasha and Kikyo reconcile...then...Kagome might just get a chance to see what it feels like. Ayame blinked in surprise as the thought thundered in her mind. No...I can't think like that...after...after what she tried to do for me the other day. I can't. I have to...tell her...but...
"Ayame, something really seems wrong," Kagome pressed with a stern, maternal expression.
Ayame didn't respond. She was knee-deep in her own thoughts and she seemed to be sinking further and further. I can't. I can't tell her. But...but what if they go and Kikyo and Inuyasha reconcile...and then they all leave. Ayame felt a crack in her heart as that thought sunk in. Everything is going so much better for all of us...we can't lose it all now. I have to tell them. "Guess...there really is something troubling me."
Sango and Kagome traded glances for the umpteenth time since Ayame's arrival.
"It's just that..." Ayame's face darkened, "That.......Koji confessed to me the other day, and I feel so bad for rejecting him. Guys, what do I do?" Ayame was so angry at herself. Just tell them! They need to know!
"He did?!" Sango and Kagome gasped simultaneously.
"I knew he liked you but..." Sango added.
Ayame blinked, "You did?"
"You rejected him? How did he take it?" Kagome asked.
Ayame turned to Kagome. "Well...I broke it to him gently. So he took it pretty well. He asked me to the festival though...and then I had to decline again...because you know...Kouga and all..."
"Yeah, of course," Kagome replied, understanding, "And he obviously took that well as well, right?"
Ayame nodded, "Yeah but he said he was really busy anyways...with stuff." Ayame mentally cursed herself for avoiding it once again.
"Well, that's good, that means we probably won't run into him at the festival," Sango remarked, "And it'll save you both a lot of awkward grief."
Tell them NOW. "About that..." Ayame bit her lip nervously.
Kagome and Sango traded glances again. "About that...?"
"Hey girls, got your dates?" Yuka asked excitedly as she, Eri and Ayumi joined the trio.
Kagome and Sango turned to the three in slight irritation as Ayame sighed in relief.
"Yes..." they answered simultaneously.
Ayumi grinned, "I told you guys, you had nothing to worry about!"
Ayame looked worriedly off to the side. That's what you think.
Eri sighed, "Of course they don't, they're gorgeous and they probably have dates that are crazy about them. Me, I'm not so sure of. I don't wanna go to this stupid festival anymore. Not if I might lose Benjiro..."
Kagome looked at Eri in confusion. "I thought you said Benji was nuts about you."
Yuka and Ayumi sighed, "That was until she heard about the festival's special guest this year."
"Special guest...?" Kagome, Sango and Ayame repeated. Ayame began to chew on her lip even more nervously. I hope they don't mean...
"Who can keep their man on a leash when Mirosaki Kikyo is going to be there?" Eri whined.
Kagome and Sango froze. Ayame wanted to smack Eri with a tree and stab herself with it afterwards.
"K-Kikyo's coming?" Kagome repeated.
Uh oh, oh no! Sacre bleu! Dios mio! (and other exclamations...)
