". Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;"
William Shakespeare
The Darling Buds of May
Chapter Seven:
"Um, Sango?" Kagome chewed on her lip nervously.
"Is there something wrong, Kagome?" Sango looked her friend over, Watching a silent battle play over the girl's face. They were standing in front of Inu-yasha's hospital room door, Kagome's hand poised over it, ready to knock.
"Oi, Kagome is that you out there?" an annoyed voice quipped on the other side. "What's wrong? Don't just stand out there, come in."
'Hrm.' thought Sango 'well, he sounds nice.'
".you'll look stupid if you just stand out there staring at the door, ya know."
'Or not.' Sango stared at the door, eye twitching. She looked to her friend to see how she took the comment.
"Humph!" said Kagome "I'm coming in already, okay? And I brought a friend with me, so be NICE!" Kagome pushed the door open, taking Sango's wrist and leading her into the room where a boy roughly of Kagome's age sat, arms crossed over his chest. His hair was long, black, and unruly, and his eyes were an unusual shade of violet.
"Feh." he mumbled. 'Did she have to bring a friend with her?' he asked himself. 'I was hoping she'd come by herself. and last time she was here, Kagome never really talked the rest of the visit, because my stupid brother was acting all weird.' Inu-yasha blushed from the memory of that last visit. He couldn't ever remember blushing so much before in his life, and he was sure the memory was fresh in Kagome's mind, too, from the way she wouldn't meet his eyes when she came in. 'Damn Sesshomaru.'
"Hello, Inu-yasha. I'm Kagome's friend, Sango Tsubaki."
Inu-yasha took in the appearance of the new visitor. She had long deep brown, almost black hair tied in a ponytail, and green eyes.
"Why did you come with Kagome?" he asked finally.
"Well, when she first started making trips to the hospital, she asked me to come, but I was unavailable to go with her at the time. I thought I'd make it up to Kagome by coming with her today." Inu-yasha regarded the new person suspiciously.
The quiet of the room that carried after the brief exchange was too much for Kagome to bear, and she broke the silence.
"So, how was your day today, Inu-yasha?" She asked somewhat enthusiastically.
"Feh. Same as always." he muttered.
As the visit came to a close, Kagome began to re-pack her school work into her bag. Sango took the brief moment to examine her own thoughts, barely hiding the upturned corners of her mouth as she watched Kagome blush as she said goodbye to Inu-yasha, and observed silently as Inu-yasha protested a little, telling her friend that she had to do this or that.
'Trying to stall her departure.' Sango thought with a raised eyebrow. She regarded the pair thoughtfully, as she and Kagome finally left, Kagome promising that she would come back soon.
"Is everything alright, Sango?" asked Kagome. Sango was awoken from her thoughts.
"Yes, Kagome, I'm fine." Sango looked up to the setting sun.
"Are you sure you don't want to come home with me and call somebody to pick you up, Kagome?"
"I'll be fine, Sango. Go home. I'll see you back at school on Monday." Kagome waved to her friend cheerfully as she walked on down the sidewalk.
Sango watched her retreating back. 'I hope she's careful.'
Author's Note: Oohh. you know I'm just really evil sometimes. I know, I'm sorry it's a short chapter, but hey, at least I'm posting one, right? Just in case you care, my orchestra group made the highest score possible. And yay! My Inu-yasha cd just arrived in the mail today! La! Well, anyway, I want everybody to read and review. I really, really, REALLY need to see some reviews here, people! Otherwise I might get angry, and everyone KNOWS you just don't make a short person angry, right? GOOD!! *makes annoyingly cutsie happy face and peace sign* Until later, everyone! -Starmoon
