Mwah hahahahaha! I surprised some of you there in the last chapter. Only 9
reviews... come on people! Lady Red LIKES reviews! She thrives on them! Ah
well, I'm going to stop begging now... I just thought of a new idea for a
story, but it isn't a complete thought, and I must finish this story before
I can write that one. Oh, and sorry that it's taking me longer to write
this one than it took me with the other. It's cause this one isn't based on
a dream I had, so I actually have to think this one out ^_^;; Ok, onto the
chapter, and the recap (for all of you that might have forgotten what had
happened!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Just a little recap)
"Kohaku? He's what?" Sango asked worriedly.
"He's gone. Taken, by Naraku."
........
"No dear, there is a way for him to get hold of our business. That way is for you to... marry him, Sango."
(end of little recap)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ch 3- Confusion, Confessions, and Kisses
"MARRY HIM?!" Miroku shouted.
"But she's only 15!" Kagome said in outrage.
"Hmm... power and a wife, all in one stroke. Probably the only way he CAN get a wife..." Inu Yasha muttered, then looked around.
"Now is NOT the time, Inu Yasha." Kagome told the hanyou.
Sango sat quietly thinking. 2 options. One was for her family to go out of business. The other was for her to marry that evil man. But if she married him, her family would still be getting half of the profits. And half the profits would be more money than if her family just started up a new business. The 2nd seemed like the most profitable solution.
"Sango? Hey, Sango, snap out of it." Kagome said, snapping her fingers in front of her friends face.
"Oh, sorry. I was just... thinking. Mom, dad, the 2nd option is almost... reasonable." Her head was lowered, so she couldn't see the disbelieving looks her family and friends gave her.
"Ok, now is not the time for joking, either." Kagome commented.
"I'm not joking." Sango's head was still lowered.
"YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!" Miroku shouted.
"I am PERFECTLY serious!" Sango shouted back, finally raising her head. "My family would still make a lot of money if I had half of the control on our business! And don't you think for ONE second that I am going to let my family's business go down the drain. No way." She paused for a breath. Everybody in the room was silent. "I'm going over to that... Naraku's office today." She said decisively.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku felt his heart shatter. He was going to cry, and he wasn't about to let Sango see him. He turned around abruptly, and walked out of the house.
"Miroku!" He heard Kagome shout.
"Get back here!" Inu Yasha was next to shout at him.
"Miroku..." When he heard Sango's voice he paused in the middle of her lawn. He only paused for a second before going on to the sidewalk.
He walked for a minute before his demon friend caught up. "What's wrong with you?" Inu Yasha shouted. "Our friends in there, about to make the stupidest decision of her life, and you just leave!"
"Oh shut up." Miroku whispered. Inu Yasha looked over and saw a silent tear run down his friends face. THEN he realized why Miroku had run out.
"Ya know, leaving isn't a very good way to get Sango..." Inu Yasha commented, looking up at the sky.
Miroku laughed harshly. "You didn't do too well yourself, I seem to remember a certain first date of yours, where your date left you, and almost got raped because of you."
"Ok, we are not going there. And this isn't me we're talking about, its you, and Sango. Are you serious about her? You've never been serious with a girl before."
"But Sango is... different. She's special, and yes I am serious about her." Miroku turned to face Inu Yasha. "What does love feel like?"
Inu Yasha gagged. "I don't know what your talking about."
"Oh don't give me that, you are SO in love with Kagome." Miroku laughed again.
"Why would I love that bitch?" Inu Yasha crossed his arms stubbornly.
"Its so OBVIOUS, dog boy! It's written all over your face."
"If its so obvious then... does she feel the same for me?" He whispered the last part embarrassedly.
"I'll tell you if you help me get Sango back." Miroku stuffed his hands in pockets.
"Fine. I'll help you. Now tell me!" Miroku giggled like a child, and started skipping down the road.
"Inu Yasha and Kagome, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love..."
"ARGH! SHUT UP!" Inu Yasha growled, and ran after his friend, who was still singing like a little child.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was blushing very hard. Her face was a deep red. She and Sango had quietly followed Miroku and Inu Yasha, and had heard the whole thing. "GO KILL HIM INU YASHA!" She yelled, then clapped her hands over her mouth.
"Great going, Kagome." Sango said sourly. "We didn't want them to know we were here."
"Uh, well, they do now!" Kagome said.
"Hey! What are you two doing here?" Miroku said. It was his turn to blush. "How long have you been there?"
"The whole time, idiot." Sango told him. "Are you... serious about me? I'm not just one of your girls that you like to grope and crap?"
"Uh... um..." Miroku said stupidly.
"It would be best if you just told her." Inu Yasha whispered in his ear.
"Fine! Yes, I am serious about you, Sango, ok? Are you happy?" He looked down at the pavement in embarrassment.
He expected her to laugh at him, or tell him that she hated him, or maybe even tell him that she felt the same for him. The last thing he expected was for her to start crying. "You idiot!" She yelled between sobs, "Why didn't you tell me before I made my decision? God, you are so stupid!" She sat there, looking helpless, crying in her wheelchair.
"But, cant you change your decision?" Miroku asked. "I mean, its only a decision!"
"But you should have told me before I started thinking about it! It's the best choice! I have to..." She started to cry again.
Miroku walked quickly up to her. Tilting her head up, he looked her straight in the eyes and said, "I'm going to get your brother back, and you are NOT going to marry that bastard." Then he kissed her gently. When he broke the kiss, he found her eyes wide open in shock. Miroku said nothing more, and walked away from the group.
Inu Yasha walked up to Kagome, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "I should go with him, before he does something crazy." He ran down the street to catch up with his determined friend.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kagome, do all kisses do that?"
"Do what?"
"Make your heart stop?"
"At least that's what Inu Yasha's do to me."
"I need to go home to get ready to go over to Naraku's."
"Your still going? Even after that?"
"I have to. What if Miroku and Inu Yasha don't get Kohaku back?"
"We're talking about a demon, and a determined, though perverted, man. I think they'll do a fine job getting Kohaku back. I just hope they don't kill that many people in the process."
"Me too. But I should go anyway."
"Fine."
Kagome wheeled her friend to her home to get ready.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, this chapter is done. Finally I'm writing at my usual pace (one chapter in about 45 minutes) So yea... did you like it? I hope you did! I need sugar. Sugar helps me write. Till next time!
