Chapter 5
Operation Hojo Must Die
(note- this chapter features a song fic at the end: "First Date" by Blink 182.)
Sango smiled lightly when Hojo said that her dress was beautiful. It would be wonderful for Sango, if it wasn't the tenth time he said it during dinner.
"Uh... Hojo-kun, can you excuse me for a minute?" Sango asked, while the waiter had just left to get their desserts.
"Okay, Taijiya," He said, absentmindedly. Sango sighed, and stomped over to the bushes near the ladies room.
"What are you guys doing over here?!" She screeched.
"Watching you," Inuyasha said, in a tone that was like, 'duh?'. Sango rolled her eyes. "I CAN hear what he's saying, ya know."
"Well, I can't get anything out of Hojo-kun! Geez... all I'm getting is, 'You look lovely tonight,'" Sango complained, rubbing her temple. "Not that I'm complaining about that, but it does get old fast."
"Start asking him about the kitten, like where he got it, when, and stuff like that," Miroku spoke up. Sango looked at him for a minute, and nodded.
"You're right. I'll do that," She said. "See you later." With that, the taij-ya walked back to her table, where the desserts and Hojo were.
"So, I was wondering..." Sango started. "Where did you get that kitten?" Seeing a slightly confused look on Hojo's face, she added, "I want to get another one."
"Oh... I can just get you one," Hojo said, quickly. Too quickly, Sango thought.
"N-n-no! No! I don't want to
impose. I... I ... don't like having people... buy a lot of things
for me..." Sango lied. "I... like being...
independent."
"Like the song!" Hojo joked. Sango
sweatdropped, and said, "Uh... yeah..."
"I'll show you where later, ne? I want to finish this lovely dinner, and maybe we can go to the movies," Hojo offered.
"Su..re..." Sango said, eating her dessert very slowly.
*~*~*
Sango was slightly irked by the movie choice that Hojo chose. It was 'How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days.' Not that she was complaining, but she really wanted to see 'Dreamcatcher' instead. [a/n- that's what I want to see] She didn't say anything though. She had a feeling Inuyasha and Miroku would be doing something to screw up Hojo's movie experience...
*~*~*
Miroku yawned after ten minutes into the movie. Sure, he thought the blonde girl was cute, but... too much of a cheesy story for him. The only thing that mesmerized him about the movie was that it was moving... and there was no one on stage!
"Hey, our man's making his move," Inuyasha whispered. Miroku looked over at Hojo, who was slowly trying to put his arm around Sango's shoulders. Miroku's eyebrow twitched. How come Hojo could do that, but when he did it, he was slapped over the head by a huge boomerang and called a lech?!
Suddenly, looking down at his bag of Skittles that Inuyasha had bought before the movie, he got an idea. He took a few and threw them directly to the back of Hojo's head. Hojo took the hand that was going around Sango, and rubbed the back of his head, but he didn't take his eyes away from the screen.
Inuyasha seemed to take the hint, and he took a huge chunk of a Butterfinger that he had and threw it, so that it landed right on top of Hojo's head. [a/n: he he... that happened to someone at the movie theaters when I was watching "little nicky" lol]
The two chuckled when Hojo looked up to the ceiling, and looked around, before they saw Sango ask him something.
They both put on stoic looks and stared at the screen when Hojo looked behind him.
*~*~*
"Hojo-kun, are you alright?" Sango asked. He seemed... jumpy. Not to mention, she saw a piece of something in his hair.
"I'm alright. I think that this place is filled with flies or something. They must be flying near my head," Hojo said. "Let's just watch the movie, ne?"
Sango knew he was trying to wrap his arm around his shoulders, and she was waiting for him to do it, so she could finally release some anger out.
*~*~*
Miroku waited until Hojo's back was turned when he made his next attack.
He waited until no one was around their rows [inuyasha and miroku are two rows away from hojo and sango] and he climbed over them, to the row right behind the two. He smirked, and took a piece of ice from his drink.
He placed it on Hojo's head, and dashed off to his row.
By the time he got to his seat, Hojo was screaming his head off.
"OH MY GOD!! IT'S SO COLD!!" Hojo screamed, as the delinquent monk and hanyou snickered.
*~*~*
Sango pulled her date out of the cinema as soon as the movie was over. She was so embarrassed. Plus, she couldn't get anything but 'Dear god, it's cold!!' from the boy anyway.
"Uh, Hojo-kun? I have to go home," Sango said.
"I'll take you home," Hojo said. Sango shook her head.
"Nah... I can do it on my own," Sango said. "I'll see you later, ne?"
"Okay, Taijiya. I'll see you!" He said, as he walked away.
"Okay, GET OUT OF THOSE BUSHES!" Sango yelled once Hojo was gone. Miroku and Inuyasha crawled out, suddenly afraid of the taiji-ya's wrath. She narrowed her eyes. "I know what you two did." They gulped. Then they sweatdropped when she laughed. "It was too funny!"
"Wha-?" The two men asked.
"I mean, I can't believe you two did that! You know, you could've been arrested for disturbing the peace," Sango said. "Thanks, though." Miroku felt his face heat up a bit when Sango gave both a brilliant smile. "Let's go home. I'm beat. All this detective stuff is wearing me out. Next time, you guys dress up and go out with someone and I'LL throw ice and candy on your dates."
*~*~*
When they were halfway to the shrine, Sango was nearly half asleep. She could barely walk.
"Uh... Sango... are you alright?" Miroku asked. Sango looked at the monk, and nodded.
"Just a little... yawn tired," She said. "Could you carry me home?" Miroku jumped at her question.
"Huh?" He asked. Didn't she hate him, still?
"Please? I'm really tired," She said. Miroku nodded, although something in his mind kept saying, "She'll kill you when she's wide awake and realizes what you did!"
He picked her up, bridal style, and heard her murmur before she fell asleep, "Thank you... Miroku..."
*~*~*
When they reached the shrine, Miroku took Sango to her room, where Shippou was playing a few 'CD's in Sango's CD player. Miroku didn't know what the machine was, or what kind of music was playing from it, but as soon as he placed Sango on her bed, he moved to turn it off.
"Keep... music.." Sango muttered in her sleep. Miroku did as he was told, and, having nothing to do, watched her sleep as he listened to the music.
When you smile I melt inside
I'm not worthy of a minute of your time
I only wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Miroku's eyes widened when he heard it. Amazingly, it sounded a lot like his situation. Sango moved a little in her sleep, and, unconsciously, he moved a strand of hair from in front of her face.
Then a word he never expected to come out of his lips did, "Koishii..." He gasped when he said it. Even with the kazaana gone, he didn't want to love anyone. Not yet.
He sighed. She hated him, anyway. There was no use for him here. Why should he be there? Another youkai to fight? No, they had no use for him.
"Miroku..." Sango whispered. Miroku looked at the girl, shocked. She was dreaming about him. "Don't go... iie! Don't... love..."
"What are you dreaming about, Sango?" Miroku whispered, unbeknownst to him that two people were watching him, intently.
*~*~*
"She's having the dreams again," Chikara whispered. "Aunt Sango's having the bad dreams again."
"Hai, I know, Chika-chan," Yukito answered. "That... bouzou shouldn't watch over her. I should be! I'm stronger than him! I'm quarter youkai!" Chikara giggled.
"Let's go, Yuki-oniichan, I'm tired," Chikara said, and dragged her older brother back to their bedrooms.
"Hai, hai, imouto-chan," Yukito said, allowing himself to be dragged.
*~*~*
