Chapter 2: A New Surrounding

Sango stepped out of the car slowly. She held the door open as her two friends stepped out behind her. Dazzled by the temple sight, Sango didn't even notice her mouth hung open in awe, until Kagome called her name.

"Sango?(can I at least use the chan???)" Kagome said waving her hand in front of her friend's face.

"Huh?" Sango said jolted from her daze, "You're family temple is really amazing." She turned back to observe the temple scenery.

"Well," Kagome said putting her hand on her head, embarrassed. "It's not that great."

"I don't see what's so great about it." Inu Yasha stamped impatiently, "C'mon lets go in already. It's getting cold out."

((Reminder: this is night time. I know I cud like add it in sum where but im too lazy. soo too bad.))

Meanwhile. Kagome's mother had locked the car and taken up the bags to leave the kids alone. ((just thought I'd add dat in cuz I might forget bout Higurashi-san later on.. hehe))

Sango turned in protest, "What're you talking 'bout Inu-kun!? Just look at the way the moon light reflects of the pavement." Sango said, going into one of her artistic moods. Inu Yasha and Kagome just stood puzzled by how artistic their friend was. "The way the cherry blossoms shine under the bright moonlight. The way the---"

"The way the willow trees bend gracefully with the wind. The way the temple stands proud and tall in the middle of the beautiful starlit night." said a voice, clearly projected from someone behind Sango.

"How. Wha." Sango turned baffled. She found her self face-to-face with a handsome young man. "Who."

"Oh that's Miroku!" Kagome explained, "He's staying with us aswell. His father and my mother know each other. He's staying here for the school district. Gosh, we should open a hotel or something!" Kagome went on to explain about Miroku's background.

Sango stared for a moment and the curious young man, then moved to get her luggage. "Ahhhh, I see."

"Oh wow! I'm so stupid! I forgot to introduce everyone!" Kagome gasped. "Okay, Miroku-kun this is Sango. ((iono her last name. soo urmm yeah.))" She pointed at Sango. "and this is Inu Yasha." She pointed at Inu Yasha.

"Nice to meet you. Yeah, I'm Miroku." He said his eyes moving from one to the other, lingering a moment on Sango. "I'm 16 and I guess we'll be going to the same school and living in the same house. Well I look forward to having you two as roommates, the more the merrier." He cracked a small smile, "I hope we can all become friends."

"What were you doing out here anyway Miroku-kun?" Kagome asked.

"I was taking out the trash." He replied plainly, holding up the plastic bag in his hand.

"Ooh," Kagome replied still a little suspicious, "You weren't out here just to see the your new roommates? I thought you'd at least be a little curious."

"Well, I guess I was, and when I saw you guys get out of the car I wanted to get a closer look."

"Hah! I knew it!" Kagome said proudly.

"Can we go in now?!" Inu Yasha complained.

"Yeah. How did you know what I was going to say earlier though? About the temple scenery?" Sango said curiously, ignoring Inu Yasha.

"The words just flew out of my mouth, it was probably the mood, the way you looked. The emotion and passion I heard in your words. It was inspiring." He replied, his blue- black eyes staring directly at Sango's.

"Oh." Sango said a blush of embarrassment rising in her cheeks.

"Hello!? I'm hungry, can we chat inside please?!" Inu Yasha growled.

"Yeah, we better get going. My mom already took up all our stuff! So now all we have to do is go in. I'll show you you're rooms." Kagome said quietly, "Besides it's already past dinner time."

Sango stood lost in the darkness of Miroku's gaze. She turned and blinked away her embarrassment. ((u know how dey blink and their goes away.. yeah kinda like snap bak to reality.. yeah...))"Okay." She said softly.

"Finally!!!!" Inu Yasha said walking ahead, and up the temple steps.

Kagome linked her arm in Sango's and she guided her up the temple steps after Inu Yasha. Miroku stood, garbage in hand.

"I still have to get rid of the trash, I'll be up soon." Miroku said dashing out of site.

Kagome, Sango and Inu Yasha made their way to the temple gate. Sango stared in awe. "Wow!! It's even prettier up close! I can't wait to see the interior!" she said.

"Then hurry up!!" Inu Yasha scoffed.

"Okay, okay, we're coming!" Sango replied.

Kagome giggled, "Sango, isn't Inu Yasha just like a little kid? He reminds me of Sota."

"Oh where is Sota?" Sango asked, arm still linked with Kagome's. ((their still walking.))

"Inside, okay we're here." Kagome said, unlinking their arms.

Inu Yasha stood in the door stamping his foot impatiently. "Well. Hurry and open the door willya!?" He grumbled, "I really need some chow!! My stomach is growling like a tiger!!" His stomach proved his point, as it roared loudly.

Kagome and Sango took a step backward, in reaction to the horrifying sound. "Whoa." Kagome said, "Didn't you eat anything on the plane?"

"Yeah! But that was 3 hours ago! I need food!" Inu Yasha replied angrily, "Just open the door already!!"

Kagome pulled out a tiny key from her pocket and opened the door. The scent of fried fish and steamed rice flooded from the inside. Inu Yasha stood dazed by the delicious scent. He snapped up and waited for Kagome to show the way to the food. Kagome took her shoes off and carried them with her and entered the warm toasty atmosphere. Inu Yasha and Sango did the same. Kagome closed the door and locked it. ((well, durh Miroku lives dere so he's gotta have a key. no da.)) Kagome led Sango and Inu Yasha down the hallway, through the living room to the kitchen. ((iono.)) Two bright warm lights shined above the kitchen table. Higurashi-san ((ion wanna call her Kagome's mom.)) got up from her seat and began uncovering the food. The sweet smell of pickled radishes rose from one plate. Fried fish from another. Kagome's mom uncovered the warm steaming rice and began scooping it into three bowls.

"So what took you so long?" Higurashi-san asked, while scooping the rice into bowls.

.:: End of Coffee Break::.

((hehehe dun worry ill make sesshi more alike his real self in the story. hehe.. not all urmmm weird. like at first. yeah im weird dun rub it in.))

"We were just chatting and enjoying the temple scenery mom." Kagome replied setting up the table and signaling Sango and Inu Yasha to sit.

"Ahhh, I see." Kagome's mother replied, handing Inu Yasha, Kagome, and Sango each a bowl of rice, while Kagome gave Inu Yasha and Sango a pair of chopsticks.

"Itedakimasu!!" ((sorry but its custom.I did cut down on the japans tho.)) The three shouted in unison. After a short pause, Inu Yasha buried his face in his bowl. The plates of food vanished almost instantly.

"Slow down Inu-Yasha! You're gonna choke!" Sango said pulling a plate of vegetables away from Inu Yasha's hungry chopsticks. ((yeah hungry chopsticks. so what!)) "Me and Kagome need to eat too!!"

"Fine! But it's your fault that you're not fast enough." Inu Yasha said stuffing two whole fish into his mouth, "Featin' Isfh Wfar!" Inu Yasha managed with a mouth full of fish.

"There's no way of getting through to you is there?!" Sango said, sweat- dropping.

"Nope!" Inu Yasha said with a mouth full of rice.

Sango sighed and ate the remains of Inu Yasha's hunger rampage.

"Have you seen Miroku?" Higurashi-san asked Kagome, "I have to give him his mail. He got his uniform today. Can you give it to him when he comes back I still have to do something" Kagome's mom handed her a package and began headed toward the kitchen doorway.

"He was out dumping the trash, he said he'd be back soon." Kagome said, taking the package from her mom. "Where's Sota?" She said before her mom left the room.

"He's asleep." Higurashi-san said over her shoulder.

"Wow?! I didn't think he'd want to miss out on seeing Inu Yasha again." Kagome said turning back to her dinner, which wasn't much more that a few pickled radishes and her rice. She looked suspiciously at Inu Yasha. "Did you eat all the food!!!??"

"Yeah. Me and Sango. Eating is war. get used to it." Inu Yasha belched, "Oops, excuse me. heh."

"Inu Yasha!!!!" ((wow perfect "sit" moment. to bad she can't do dat in here. =P)) Kagome said standing up, when Miroku walked in through the door way. "Oh! Miroku! There's a package for you. So I think it's your uniform.

"Oh, thanks. Yeah it probably is." Miroku replied, while taking a seat next to Sango. "Are we all going to go to the same school?"

"Yeah I think so." Kagome said a little unsure. "Right Sango?"

"Yeah, of course! That's what we're here for!" Sango's bowl made a sharp sound as it hit the table's hard surface. "We're all the same grade right?"

"Yeah" Kagome said. "Yay! We're all going to the same school! I hope we're in the same class too!!"

"When does school start?" Inu Yasha asked.

"Next week." Kagome and Miroku answered together.

"What!? That early. Aww Ma'an That just sucks!" Inu Yasha complained.

"Oh, Sango, Inu Yasha!" Kagome said, just remembering something. "I have your school stuff. I put it in your rooms. You'll find your uniform and class schedule in a brown bag in your rooms. Okay?"

"Okay. wow I feel like I'm staying at some fancy hotel or something." Sango chimed. ((usually old ladies chime.. o well.)) "Let's go to the rooms now."

"Yeah okay." Kagome yawned. "I'll show you to you're rooms and then you guys can get some sleep. Cuz I sure need some." Kagome stuff the dirty dishes into the dish washer and adjusted the options to match the amount of dishes. She pushed the start button and gestured for Sango and Inu Yasha to get up.

"I'll come with you since our rooms are pretty close together." Miroku said, standing up.

"Okay" Kagome said sleepily.

The four teenagers walked down the hallway, Kagome in front. The passed a hallway entrance soon after their departure from the kitchen. Here Miroku said his good nights and headed down the hallway. A while later, they arrived at what seemed to be the guest hallway. Kagome walked over to the first room on the right and said, "Here's the bathroom. Each room has a restroom and sink, but no bath tub or shower. So you guys'll have to rotate bathing. Sorry. This part of the temple is kinda of old. We recently got the restrooms installed in the rooms. "

"Don't worry we'll manage Kagome." Sango said politely.

"Here's Your room, Inu Yasha." Kagome said stopping at the second room on the right, and opened the sliding door. "Go on in, my mom probably already put your bags inside."

"Okay thanks. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Inu Yasha said sheepishly, and walked into his room.

Across the hallway were two rooms, one of which were Sango's. Kagome addressed the room directly across from Inu Yasha's as hers.

"Thanks," Sango said opening the sliding door. ((they have those paper door thingies if you didn't notice.)) "I'll see you in the morning. Night!"

"Yeah Night, get some rest!" Kagome said head back toward the other hallway where Miroku took his leave.

Sango flicked on the lights, stepped in and looked around the room, it was a spacious square. One side of her wall was a sliding door while the other two were plaster. The walls behind her and to her right were sliding doors, and the one in front of her and to her left were plaster. Her bags were sitting next to a long curving mahogany desk, located in the left corner of the room, facing rightward. The desk had a round curve, so that half of it was on the far wall and half on the left wall. There was a small lamp sitting on the left side of the desk, alongside a package which fit the description Kagome had given her. The part of the desk on the far wall was empty, leaving enough space for some kind of laptop or computer. A phone cable had been pulled out from behind the desk, clearly to be used as an internet outlet. In front of the desk sat a comfy cushion chair. Another small counter stood next to the desk, atop its surface a TV. Further to the right of the TV stand was a window with dark blue curtains that were pulled back to let the full moon shine in. Next to the desk, was a closet. It had a sliding door and was cleaned and cleared. 15 hangers hung from the left side on one 3 foot long bar. On the right side stood a blank spot, prefect space for a roll up bed. Then underneath it were three drawers. ((wow im taking too long to describe this huh? I'll stop. after this.)) In the middle of the floor lay a dark blue bed, ((the japanese ones dat can be rolled up.)) cleaned and prepared to be used.

'Wow this is a really great room. I wonder how much I'll have to pay for it.' Sango thought to herself as she began to unpack her stuff, 'I hope I can adapt here. I wonder what Kohaku's doing.' An image of a her little brother sleeping soundly in his bed, flashed across her mind. She felt a little homesick already 'Hehe. it's not too hard to guess. Hrmm I wonder who's going to stay in the room next to me.' Sango thought trying to distract herself from her homesickness. 'I hope it's a girl. That'd be fun. hee hee.' Sango's thoughts strayed to an image of the silver haired boy she saw earlier that evening at the airport. 'Sessho-maru, that's what he called himself.'she thought.

"I wonder what happened to him." She said aloud, 'Oops, I should stop letting my mind wander, I'm gonna wake someone up if I keep daydreaming. I've got unpacking to do!'

20 minutes later.((im sleepy and trying to finish dis chappy. hehe. sorry *yawns*))

Sango lay in her be with the lights out. The bright moonlight shinning through the window onto her face. The moonlight felt comforting and it helped ease the slight bit of homesickness she was experiencing. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep listening to the chirping crickets, and the moonlight caressing her face.

.::End of Chapter 2::.

Author's note, yes more.:

Okay so the ending would have sounded better if I said "She closed her eyes and fell asleep listening to the fluttering of the wind and the moonlight caressing her face." But then she might catch a cold. and she doesn't need one yet. and yeah if u haven't figured it out yet. Sango's the main character. and she's kind of different from her real personality. but im trying to keep everyone else the same. tell me if im doing something weird/wrong and I'll take it into consideration. Arigatou minna!!

~*-Kira-*~

Goal: One chapter a week. I'll try my best!!! ^,^ too bad if I can't do it tho. =P
