Disclaimers: Blah blah blah. Ya already know who I do and don't own, so
I'll skip over that part. Anywho, I know the last chapter was kinda
depressing. This chapter was co-written by Kara, again, while she was
spending the night, anf we were on major sugar highs. We had lotsa pocky,
many chocolate bars, about five soda's each, and cake, which was completely
inedible, as neither of us are really good at cooking of any form. Anyway,
here's the next chapter. And thanks Kar, you're the best friend I could
have!
Sango sat on her bed, thinking about last night's events. "I can understand Miroku, Kohaku, and even Kagome coming out to look for me, but why were Inuyasha and Souta there? Were they really worried? I did run off without telling anyone." She said thoughtfully to herself.
"Sango! Miroku's here to see you!" Souta called.
"Coming, Souta!" She called back, heading downstairs. Sango had been getting a lot of visits lately, mostly by Miroku, but some other friends, an old friend, Yuki, and Kagome's group of friends came a long to visit as well.
"Hey Miroku." Sango said tiredly.
"Hey." Miroku replied. "I came to see if you're alright."
"I'm fine. Want to (yawn) stay for a while?"
"Sure. If I'm not intruding."
"Not at all. C'mon." Sango pulled Miroku up to her room.
"So, Sango. Kagome said you ran off without telling anyone, or leaving a note." Miroku said, sitting down on the chair by Sango's desk (which I might add, is very cluttered).
"Yeah."
"It was raining pretty hard. You shouldn't have gone out. You could have got very sick. And we were all really worried, even Inuyasha, when Kagome told him." (A/N: That's something, as this is Inuyasha we're talking about.) Miroku frowned.
"I know, I know. It was stupid of me. Wait, did you say Inuyasha was worried? I barely even know him!" Sango looked very surprised, as well as very guilty.
"Well, yeah. You're a close friend of both Kagome and me. And we're some of his only friends. Besides, you've never seen Kagome when she's pissed off. She can slam Inuyasha, which is pretty tough." Miroku explained.
"Figures. Look, Miroku. I'm really sorry. Like I said, it was really stupid of me to go off on my own, especially at night when it's raining so hard." Sango looked down.
'Yeah. It was. But we all understand. Am I correct in assuming that you haven't talked to your father yet?"
"Yep."
"You should. I'm sure he isn't angry."
"He's not. Kagome and just about everyone else here told me. I just feel guilty. I went to see Mom without telling him."
"Hey. You don't look like you've eaten."
"I skipped dinner last night, and I didn't eat breakfast or lunch."
"Want to go out and get some good, old fashioned, over-greasy, fast food?"
"Sure." Sango laughed. "Just let me tell someone."
Sango and Miroku headed downstairs. "Mrs. Higurashi?" She said, talking to the first person in the house that she saw.
"Call me Sanako, Sango. What is it?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Okay. Miroku and I are going out for some food." Sango explained.
"Okay! Thank you for telling me. I'd hate to be worried again."
"Right." Unknowingly, Sanako had just sent Sango on a major guilt trip.
~*~
"Mrs. Higurashi seems really nice." Miroku commented. He and Sango had decided to eat at the local pizza joint. The pizza was over-greasy and burnt, but they didn't really care.
"Call her Sanako. I have to. And it makes me uncomfortable hearing you call her that." Sango said.
"Right. Sanako seems really nice." Miroku fixed his comment.
"Yeah. I guess she is." Sango gave in.
"This is kinda awkward."
"Yeah."
"It just me or did they add an extra gallon of grease when cooking this stuff?" Miroku asked, poking at a grease-covered piece of pizza.
"Not just you." Sango replied, looking at her own piece of pizza.
"I don't think it's healthy to have this much grease on anything edible."
"Yeah. But you're implying that even without this much grease, the pizza would be edible, which I would have to disagree with." Sango pointed out.
"Okay. You've got me there. I'll admit, this stuff could never be edible." Miroku laughed.
"I think I just lost my appetite." Sango said, looking at her pizza again, and thinking about their conversation.
"No way, Sango. You said you've skipped three meals. Not good. You're eating this crap, edible or otherwise." Miroku answered.
"Ohhhhhhhhh. Do I have to? It's not like I'm wasting your money, I paid for mine." Sango complained.
"Yes. I know you paid for it, but still." Miroku said sternly.
"If you wanted me to eat, you shouldn't have brought up how inedible this stuff is." Sango pointed out.
"Eat! I don't want you to starve!" Miroku sounded worried.
"Alright already!" Sango said, eating her pizza as fast as she could.
"Sango, you're going to choke." Miroku warned.
"It's all gone, and I'm still alive." Sango said.
"Point taken."
"Now, let's get out of here."
"Okay."
~*~
Sango and Miroku had decided to take a walk through the park.
"Eh. Now I feel like we're a couple." Sango said, looking at all the couples around them.
"And is something wrong with that?" Miroku asked, grinning.
"Is that a trick question?"
"No."
"Okay then, no. There's nothing wrong with it that I can see."
"Oh?"
"I know that perverted look, Miroku. I'm your best friend, remember? You can't pull your groping tricks on me."
"And yet somehow I always manage to."
"And you end up with a giant slap mark."
"It's worth it." Miroku's hand made its way to Sango's butt as he said this,
"Miroku!"
:::CRACK:::
"Still worth it." Miroku laughed, rubbing his cheek where Sango had slapped him.
"SHUT UP!!!" Sango yelled.
"Okay, okay!" Miroku gave in.
"You alright? I slapped you pretty hard." Sango asked.
"Yeah. Keep in mind, this kind of abuse is normal." Miroku said.
"Watch it, or I'll slap you again." Sango warned.
"Okay, no more teasing." Miroku said.
"Sango! Miroku!"
Sango and Miroku turned around to see Kagome running towards them, dragging Inuyasha with her, and burst out laughing.
"Cute, Inuyasha, real cute." Miroku joked, once he stopped laughing.
"Shut up, idiot." Inuyasha snarled back.
"I can't help it! And by the looks of things, Sango can't either!" Miroku pointed to Sango, who was laughing her head off (A/N: NO. Not literally.) at something.
"I'm not laughing at Inuyasha!" Sango exclaimed, still laughing.
"Then what are you laughing at?" Miroku asked.
"That!" Sango pointed to her right, where her friend (A/N: And Miroku's friend, too), Yuki was trying to get something back from a kid.
"Give it back, Shippo!" Yuki yelled, pulling at what looked like a chocolate.
"No! I want it!" Shippo yelled back.
A girl, about seven, sat under a tree and watched all this, not doing anything to stop her feuding younger brother and older sister.
"Rin! Help me!" Shippo called. A/N: My reason for putting Rin in this role is that I don't have any plans of putting Sesshoumaru in this fanfic yet, and I had to put Rin in, I wuv her! So kawaii!)
"No way! Rin doesn't want to get involved!" Rin called back, not moving.
"Gotcha, squirt!" Yuki exclaimed, pulling the chocolate bar away from Shippo while he was talking to Rin.
"MEANY!" Shippo cried.
"Oh close it! You already ate yours! I don't see why you need mine!" Yuki said.
"Hi, Yuki. Normal day for you, I see." Miroku said, walking up to the three siblings with Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha following.
"Hey Miroku. Shippo here was just trying to get my candy. Again." Yuki replied.
"Are they always like this?" Kagome asked Sango, referring to Yuki and Shippo.
"Who? You mean Yuki and Shippo? Yep. Always. Rin's smart, she stays out of it." Sango whispered back.
"SHIPPO! GET OUT OF MY BACKPACK!" Yuki yelled, turning on her brother, who was going through her bag in pursuit of more candy.
"Hm." Shippo pouted, moving away from Yuki's bag.
(Kara: Vic, add some sweatdrops, why dontcha?) (Me: Good idea. Types something and sweatdrops appear on Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Rin)
"Little brat." Yuki muttered.
(Kara: Shippo is not a brat!) (Me: Trust me, Kar, he's playing the role of a little brother, of course Yuki's going to say he's a brat.)
"Hey, Rin. Care to tell us how this started?" Miroku asked, leaning by the little girl who had watched the battle unfold.
"Well, Shippo ate his chocolate, and Rin gave him some of hers, because Rin didn't want a lot of chocolate. Then Shippo wants more chocolate, and he tries to take Yuki's. Rin didn't want to get involved, so Rin stayed away." Rin said.
"So this was started by Shippo's sweet tooth?" Sango asked.
"Yes. That's what Rin thinks." Rin replied.
"What is wrong with these people?" Inuyasha muttered to Kagome.
"Inuyasha! That's mean!" Kagome hissed.
"There's nothing wrong with them. They're just to much alike, is all." Sango whispered, joining the conversation.
"Whatever." Inuyasha snorted.
"LETGOOFME!" Shippo cried. (A/N: for those of you who can't figure it out, Shippo said; let go of me!) The little boy was in a headlock, courtesy of his older sister.
"Not until you give me back the candy you took, you little brat!" Yuki replied.
"Here! Here!" Shippo cried, pulling out about five chocolate bars.
"Much better." Yuki said smugly, smirking.
(Me & Kara: More sweatdrops!)
Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin sweatdropped again.
"Yuki! Rin thinks it's getting late!" Rin said, looking at the sunset.
"Yeah, it is. We gotta go." Yuki agreed, gathering her things and walking away with Shippo and Rin.
Well, that was. odd." Kagome said, once Yuki, Shippo, and Rin were gone.
"Odd isn't the word I'd use." Inuyasha added.
"Eh. If you think that's bad, never EVER go over to their place." Sango said.
"Yeah. Yuki and Rin's room (they share a room) is pretty neat, but the rest of the house is a total mess. Their mom's never around to clean, and Yuki can't handle the mess on her own, so it looks like a dump. And Yuki and Shippo argue nonstop" Miroku agreed.
"Uh, Kagome? We should get back. It's almost dinnertime." Sango pointed out, looking at her watch.
~*~
The walk home was pretty uneventful. Miroku tried to grope Sango, and she slapped him, which made Kagome laugh, and Inuyasha snort, trying to hold in his laughter.
"Mom! We're home!" Kagome called.
"Hello girls! And Miroku and Inuyasha as well! What a pleasant surprise!" Sanako said, smiling. "Would you boys care to stay for dinner?"
Sango and Kagome looked at each other.
"I wouldn't want to be a nuisance, Mrs. Higurashi." Miroku spoke first.
"Uh, neither would I." Inuyasha agreed.
"Oh! It's no trouble at all, right girls?" Sanako (to lazy to write Mrs. Higurashi) said.
"Uh, right, Mom." Kagome said slowly.
"Of course." Sango smiled.
"Well, if it's okay, then I don't see why not." Miroku smiled.
"Yeah. Sesshoumaru ain't expecting me back for dinner, anyway." Inuyasha agreed.
"Dinner will be ready at eight." Sanako said, heading back into the kitchen.
"What now?" Kagome asked.
"I guess we could head up to my room and listen to some music." Sango suggested.
Kagome winced at the thought of listening to Black Sabbath, but convinced herself that Sango MUSt have something else, and she did. She had Pink, Kelly Osbourne, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, and many others. They finally picked Kelly Osbourne, after many objections by Inuyasha and Miroku, who wanted to listen to Black Sabbath, but Kagome refused to let that happen.
"Hey, Sango?" Kagome asked quietly while 'Shut Up' played in the background,
"Yeah?" Sango replied, making sure Inuyasha and Miroku weren't listening.
"Aren't you nervous?" Kagome whispered.
"About what? I'm nervous about lots of things right now." Sango confessed.
"About Inuyasha and Miroku staying for dinner." Kagome replied.
"Of course I'm nervous! This is Miroku we're talking about, after all. But I trust him. All I'd worry about is his telling everyone some of the things I've said. Which he won't, because he knows I'll beat him into a bloody pulp if he does."
"I see. I'm just nervous because Inuyasha isn't exactly the most. sociable person, you know?"
"Yeah. But just trust him. It's really all you can do."
"And that's half of what's bugging me."
"Well, then. There's really nothing I can do for you."
"I know."
SANGO'S JOURNAL
Hey. Pretty odd day. Miroku and I went out to the park and met up with Kagome and Inuyasha. And then we met up with Yuki, and her little brother, Shippo (they were fighting over chocolate!!!), and their sister, Rin. Miroku and Inuyasha are staying for dinner. This might be strange. G2g.
Ending notes: Heya peoples! Hope ya liked this chapter! (Kara & Me: Evil Grins) Miroku and Inuyasha having dinner with Kagome and Sango. This will be interesting. (Kara: And you can be sure I'll help write it!) Uh, yeah. Kara's going to be co-writing this fanfic.
