Sango's chapter



Sango was getting ready for her 'date' with Miroku. They were going to see the anime movie, Slayers the motion picture, then they were going to get some dinner at McDonalds, and last, it was off to the bookstore. She took off her school uniform, which she never bothered to take off unless she was going somewhere, and pulled out a pair of black jeans with flames going up the sides of the legs (A/N: Saw my friend wearing a pair of jeans like this and loved 'em.), and a dark red shirt that said 'femme fatale' (yeah, my friend wore these, too.). She heard a knock on her door.

"Sango? It's Kagome. Can I come in?"

Sango sighed. Kagome was honestly the last person she wanted to talk to, but was getting the whole night away from her, so Sango let her in, and decided to be civil, just this once. "Sure, come on in, Kagome. I thought you were having friends over."

Kagome walked in while Sango had her back turned, and saw a giant scar on Sango's back. "Yeah. But I came to talk to you. That's a bad scar. How did you get it?" She asked.

"Hm? It's still there, then? I guess it didn't heal well. I got it in a fight." Sango explained, turning around once she had her shirt on. (A/N: Hehehe. I'll bet the guys out there thought I'd give them something to drool about. Tough.)

"Oh my. Is it alright? It looks like someone stabbed you." Kagome asked, worried.

"Actually, that's what happened. It's fine." Sango was trying her best to be civil, but she hadn't even let Father and Kohaku see that scar, and Kagome knew about it.

"Ane-ue!!!!! Miroku's here!" Kohaku called from downstairs.

"Coming, Kohaku." Sango replied.

"Hello Sango. You do look lovely tonight." Miroku commented. He was dressed in blue jeans with a large purple shirt, one of his favorite outfits.

"Thank you, Miroku. You look. nice." Sango said slowly.

"You look so cute together!" Kagome and her friends, Eri, Lina, Rika, and Miho came running down the stairs, each of them holding a camera.

"Oh boy. I can see why you would get sick of this, Sango." Miroku muttered to Sango, sweatdropping.

"Good. Someone understands." Sango muttered back.

"Now stand together, so we can get pictures of this!" Kagome instructed.

"Gods, this is embarrassing." Sango rolled her eyes at Kagome's antics.

"Kagome! Leave Sango alone, why don't you?" Souta said, running into the room, with Kohaku following, laughing slightly at Sango's discomfort.

"Bug off, Souta! You wouldn't understand!" Kagome retorted, and proceeded with taking the picture. Eri, Rika, Lina, and Miho did exactly the same thing.

Twenty minutes, and five photographs later, Sango and Miroku finally got to leave the house.

"That, Miroku, is the hell that is my life." Sango said tiredly.

"I can see that." Was the answer she got.

"2000 yen says Kagome and her fiend. er, friends are spying from her bedroom window." Sango picked up a rock, and threw it at Kagome's window. It hit, and the screams of five teenage girls could be heard.

"Good thing I never took the bet, or I'd be short 2000 yen." Miroku said, eyeing the window.

"That made my day." Sango laughed.

"Agreed." Miroku nodded, bending down and kissing Sango, who blushed in return.

"Miroku!!!! What was that for?" She sputtered, grateful that it was dark enough for her blush not to show.

"Well, if Kagome and her friends are going to spy on us, then let's give them something to watch." He explained.

"Okay." She said, kissing him again, longer, this time. "Boy. Kagome and her friends are probably going crazy right about now." She thought.

When the kiss ended, Sango and Miroku doubled over laughing.

"D-do you think they were watching that?" Miroku asked.

"Probably." Was all Sango could get out before she burst out laughing again.

"I suppose we'd better get going." Miroku suggested, being the first one to stop laughing.

"Agreed."

~*~

The Slayers movie was quite interesting. Sango had to slap Miroku a few times and tell him that Nahga was only an anime character. And McDonalds was dull. It was only when they got to the bookstore that things really got interesting. Sango found a manga for Kohaku, called Ragnarok (No, I don't own this manga), and Miroku found a magazine that Sango made him put back, because it was 'inapropriate'.

"But Sango!"

"NO!!!!"

"Jeez. Must be that time of the month." Miroku muttered, earning him a slap.

"Give it up, already!" Sango hissed. "This is embarasing."

Sango payed for Kohaku's manga, and left with Miroku.

~*~

Sango and Miroku were heading home, playing some American pop music on the radio.

"I'm standing on a bridge

I'm waiting in the dark

I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound"



Sango sang quietly to the music.

"Wow, Sango's good." Miroku thought.



"Isn't anyone trying to find me

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I-I'm with you

I'm with you"



Sango apparently didn't realize that she was singing, because she had her eyes closed, and her head was leaned back against the back of the seat.

"She looks so calm. Not like the Sango I know, who's always uptight and secretive. I don't think I'm going to tell her she's singing. She might stop if I do that." Miroku thought.

"I'm looking for a place

Searching for a face

Is anybody here I know

'Cause nothing's going right

And everything's a mess

And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I-I'm with you

I'm with you"



Sango didn't stop singing, nor did she open her eyes.

"She can't know that she's singing. The Sango I've known for my whole life wouldn't sing something this deep in front of anyone." Miroku decided.



"Oh why is everything so confusing

Maybe I'm just out of my mind

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a damn cold life

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I-I'm with you

I'm with you"



She looks sad." Miroku thought, looking away from the road for a split second.



"Take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I-I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you"



Sango finished the song.

"You have a lovely voice, Sango." Miroku commented.

"What? Oh gods. I was singing? Sorry." Sango stuttered, blushing.

"No! You were amazing!"

"Really?"

"Sure!"

"Thank you. But, you never heard me singing, understood. And if you tell ANYONE otherwise, I'll beat you to a bloody pulp, got it?"

"Now that's the Sango I know and." Miroku stopped, realizing what he was about to say.

"Very funny, Miroku." Sango replied dryly.

"Well, we're here."

"Okay. Hmmmmm." Sango answered thoughtfully.

"Uh, what are you thinking about, Sango?" Miroku asked nervously.

"Oh, nothing." Sango replied, picking up a stone and throwing it at Kagome's window. It hit, and once again, the screams of five girls could be heard. " I figured they were watching."

"Nice aim."

"Thanks." Sango moved in and kissed Miroku.

"Now. That was something worth watching." Miroku commented after the kiss ended.

"Yeah. Just think about what everyone at school's going to say." Sango muttered.

"What makes you sure they'll find out?"

"Oh, please. This is Kagome and her friends we're talking about! 2000 yen says the entire school knows by lunchtime tomorrow."

"I know better than to make bets with you, Sango."

"Whatever you say. Night!"

~*~

Sango walked into the house, and was greeted by Kagome and her friends, all waving photographs of her and Miroku in her face.

"Is Miroku a good kisser?" Miho asked.

"What happened?" Rika asked.

"Did he give you a rose?" Eri asked.

"Was he romantic?" Lina asked.

"Miroku isn't a bad kisser, nothing special happened, no rose, and he was romantic, enough." Sango replied, pushing her way through the girls and heading to her room.

"Well, Miroku's nicer than I give him credit for. And he's flattering." Sango said, lying on her bed.

"Sango?" Kagome asked from the other side the door.

Sango pretended to be asleep when Kagome came in. And she heard Kagome talking.

"Sango shouldn't sleep without the covers on. She'll get sick! And she's always in such a bad mood around me. Well, I don't care if she hates me. I'm going to keep trying to be her friend!" Kagome exclamied, pulling the covers over Sango and turning around to leave.

"Kagome?"

"Huh? Sango?"

"Why do you keep trying? Why don't you give up?"

"Because. I haven't heard a good reason for why you hate me."

"I have a reason. I just won't tell."

"Well, then. I guess I'm going to keep trying."

"Do as you please."

"Good night, Sango. And if you want to, you can come and hang out with us for a while."

"No thanks. Not tonight."

"Okay. Seeya!"

"Seeya."



SANGO'S JOURNAL NOT A DIARY!!!!! KEEP OUT!!!

Sango. Again. Well, Miroku and I had our 'date' tonight, and I'll admit that he's pretty cool. I think Kagome knew why I asked him out, but she didn't show it. And then, when I got here, I was surrounded by Kagome and her friends, who asked me questions about our 'date'! Geez! And I think I'm beginning to like Kagome. Or at least, I don't hate her as much any more. G2g!

Kagome's chapter



Kagome walked up to Sango's door. "Sango?"

"Come in Kagome." Sango seemed reluctant to let Kagome in. "I thought you were having friends over."

"Yeah. I just came to talk. That's a bad scar! How did you get it?" Kagome walked in and saw a big scar on Sango's back.

"Hm? It's still there then? I guess it didn't heal well. I got it in a fight." Sango explained, turning around. She was wearing black jeans with flames going up the sides of the legs, and a red shirt that said 'femme fatale'.

"Oh my. Is it alright? It looks like someone stabbed you."

"Actually, that's what happened, and it's fine." Sango didn't seem to want to talk about it, so Kagome dropped the subject.

"Ane-ue! Miroku's here!" Kohaku called.

"Coming!" Sango called back.

Kagome left and went back to her room, where her friends, Rika, Lina, Miho, and Eri were waiting, satisfied that she was able to talk to Sango. "Okay, guys! Get the cameras!" She said. Her friends did as Kagome said, and they ran downstairs.

"You look so cute together!" Kagome cooed, pushing Sango next to Miroku and getting her camera ready.

"Kagome! Leave Sango alone!" Souta called, walking into the room with Kohaku.

"Bug off, Souta!" Kagome shot back.

Each of them took a picture, and went back to Kagome's room.

~*~

The rest of the night passed slowly. They played every game they could think of, from truth or dare to guess the TV character. Finally, at about ten, Sango got back. Kagome and her four guests ran to her window, and watched as Sango kissed Miroku goodnight. They ran downstairs, and bombarded Sango with questions.

"Is Miroku a good kisser?"

"What happened?"

"Did he give you a rose?"

"Was he romantic?" (A/N: Read Sango's chapter to find out which friend said what.)

Sango gave the girls a look that clearly said "none of your business, but I'll tell anyway, since it's the quickest way to get rid of you." "Miroku's a decent kisser, I guess. Nothing special happened, no rose, and he was romantic. enough." She said, pushing her way past the girls and going to bed.

~*~

"Sango?" Kagome asked, knocking on Sango's bedroom door. Kagome walked in and saw Sango sleeping without the covers on. "Sango shouldn't sleep without the covers on, she'll get sick! And she's always in such a bad mood around me. Well I don't care! I'm going to keep trying to be her friend!" Kagome exclaimed, pulling the covers over Sango and turning to leave.

"Kagome?"

"Huh? Sango?"

"Why do you keep trying? Why don't you give up?"

"Because I haven't heard a good reason for why you hate me."

"I have a reason. I'm just not telling."

"Well, then. I guess I'm going to keep trying."

"Do as you please."

"Good night, Sango. And if you want to, you can come hang out with us for a while."

"No thanks. Not tonight."

"Okay. Seeya!"

"Seeya."



KAGOME'S DIARY (KEEP OUT!!!!!!)

Dear Diary,

I managed to talk to Sango twice tonight! And she was nice! She has a bad scar on her back, where someone stabbed her. That can't be fun. I don't think she's told anyone, even Miroku about it. Makes me feel kinda special. And she said that she had a reason for hating me, but she wasn't telling. Maybe she doesn't hate me anymore? Ack! Eri, Rika, Miho, and Lina are spending the night, and they're about to read this, so, g2g!

Kag







Ending notes: I know Kagome's part of the chapter was short, and Sango's part was a bit of a songfic. I wrote the majority of this chapter on a sugar high. REVIEW PLEASE! (Or I'll send Miroku out to grope you. And for those of you who would like that, I'll send Jaken out to grope you. ^^)
