~Chapter 4: False Surprise~
Kagome could hear mumbling from the crowd as she watched them staring back at her and InuYasha. She looked beside her and saw InuYasha just fiddling with his fingers, looking obviously nervous for some reason.
The lights above the stage grew dark during the break while the lights still shown bright over the audience.
She felt kind of guilty for InuYasha, bringing him to the show with out his notice. Maybe he wasn't cheating after all. Maybe he was telling her the truth.
But…what about the time when he said he was going to help Miroku fix his father's bike? When Miroku told her that him and InuYasha had already fixed it two weeks before. She felt like a fool; a person being lied to and for what? Maybe that's why InuYasha was in his car, using his cell phone to call the other woman about their 'plans' being ruined.
And about the times InuYasha has been out working from 7am to 9pm. At some points she has been to his work, him being an expert engineer, and stayed for a couple of hours. But, she wasn't really sure now how long he actually worked, when he was out.
To think of it, maybe he was cheating on her. Messing around with some tramp that can't get her own man!
Kagome changed her mind; She didn't feel sorry for him anymore.
She turned her head away and now focused her eyes on the host, Naraku, who just took a seat again after walking off backstage for some touch-ups. The host, no more than twenty-five years old, Kagome was a big fan of his. He started off as a young actor from the age of ten and became famous as the years went by; Kagome remembered. He played roles in many popular movies such as: "Never Ending Lives", "My Perfect Plan", "Demon Man", "The Incredible Spider", "Ten things I Hate about Mikos", "Superior in Many Ways", "008: Agent Most Hated", and many more. Now he owns his own talk show, one of the best shows on networks TV now.
Naraku charmingly smiled at her and then said, "Your boyfriend, InuYasha, looks very familiar…like I've seen him before. It's really weird…" He trailed off as the Cameraman called out to him.
"The show is airing back on in 15 seconds…get ready!"
Naraku positioned himself on the chair with his hand clutched to his microphone. Kagome looked back at InuYasha, who now had his arms crossed and looked upsettingly at the crowd before him. Maybe I made the wrong decision in bringing him here. Kagome thought, as she turned away once again and got ready herself.
"Now!" The same Cameraman called out, giving the queue for Naraku to begin.
The lights above the stage gradually lit up brightly as music could be heard playing throughout the area. The crowd cheered and clapped as they got their queue from the Sign-holding man.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Naraku: "We are back ladies and gentlemen and we're here today because some people in relationships are keeping secrets from one another and anxious to find out what the other's secret is. For the viewers at home, if you just joined us right now, our first guest Kagome, has brought her boyfriend InuYasha, on the show to ask him if he's been messing around during the time they've been together. Hearing a seductive message from another woman, has led Kagome to have doubts about their relationship ever since. So Kagome, is there anything else you want to say or ask InuYasha before we bring out the guest?
Kagome: Yes. InuYasha, I love you so much. So much that I was hoping we could get married and maybe start a family one-day. But, I need to clear this thing up before we can get really serious and start our future. I need to know who that woman is that left a message for you back home.
InuYasha: I don't know what you're talking about, Kagome. How am I suppose to know if I haven't heard this woman or the message you said she left? For all I know, I don't really have that many female friends, besides you and Sango.
Naraku: Really. Who is this Sango girl?
Kagome: She's a close friend of ours. I've known her since I was five years old. We met by our parent's, who were friends since high school. Sango is like a sister I never had.
Crowd: AWWWW!!!
Naraku: Very touching...um…so is that all you want to ask him?
Kagome: I guess…for now.
InuYasha: Before you bring out whomever, I just want to say something to Kagome.
Naraku: Go ahead.
(InuYasha faced Kagome and took one of her hands passionately.)
InuYasha: I just wanna say that if anything goes wrong, remember I still love you, okay.
Kagome: What do you mean by that?
InuYasha: W-what I mean is if some shit happens between us by any chance, don't act too fast and just think about it for moment. Our love means more than anything, no matter what.
Crowd: (Starts whispering to each other.)
Kagome: But what's there to worry about? It's not like your cheating on me, right.
(InuYasha then sighed and lowered his head, while placing his hands through the loose strands of his hair.)
Naraku: Well, now that everything is cleared up…we all have been anticipating to meet the special guest. So give a warm welcome everyone and welcome our guest to the show!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A red door on the side of the stage (A/N: You know those prop doors the talk shows on tv been having on the stage corner, where a guest comes through after they are called out... Sorry, I don't know how else to explain it.) opened slowly and a woman walked out, her expression looking a little troublesome at the moment.
The woman's appearance though, was fairly attractive. She seemed to be wearing a long, cream-colored skirt with a light blue blouse, which fit her body perfectly and showed her curves clearly. She tucked some of her long, dark brown hair behind her ear as she walked and then sat down on the empty light-red cushion chair next to InuYasha.
InuYasha and Kagome looked surprised to see the person who just came out. Kagome, being the excited person she was, got up and hugged the woman with a faint cry of joy. The woman couldn't help it but returned the hug with some added giggles.
After their moment of greeting each other, Kagome sat back down, face now replaced with a wide smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Naraku: Do you guys know each other?
Kagome: Yeah! She's the girl I was just talking about, Sango!
Naraku: Nice to meet you Sango and welcome.
Sango: Thanks for having me here today; I'm honored.
Kagome: I'm like…so surprised! I never expected you to be here!
Sango: Surprise, surprise…heh heh!
(InuYasha just closed his eyes and sighed much heavier than before, now catching the attention from all the people.)
Kagome: Is something wrong, InuYasha?
InuYasha: Nothing, okay….damn.
Naraku: So Sango, what's a beautiful woman here for?
(Sango blushed at his words and placed a hand on her cheek to cover the area she thought the blush was rising on.)
Sango: Um…yeah, about that…I…
Kagome: Take your time Sango, I know it's nothing bad or anything. What's the good news?
Sango: Uh…it's not really…um, the kind of news…you would really like to hear. To put it in terms, its not good news at all… bad news is what I'm trying to say…
Kagome: It can't be really that bad, right?
Sango: It…kinda depends on how you might take it…
Kagome: Sango, Sango, Sango. My dear friend, if it's a mistake you've done in the past, I won't be angry with you. As long as you tell me, it's fine. That's what a best friend is for.
Sango: True. I'm glad you're taking this a little lightly and it really makes it easier for me to tell you this. I…
InuYasha: Sango, no!
(InuYasha cut in, stopping Sango from what she was about to say. Kagome and Naraku looked at him confused as to why he did it.)
Kagome: No, what?
InuYasha: ……Kagome, maybe it's not really that important. Sango was going to tell you about her being hired as a circus performer. That's the reason why it's hard for her to tell you this.
Kagome: Really? Sango, all you had to do was tell me this at home. I would've considered it.
Crowd: (Giggles.)
(Sango glared at Inuyasha for his lack of honesty and for his rudeness in interrupting her.)
Sango: I can't believe you InuYasha! I am not a damn circus performer, asshole!… And I can't keep it to myself any longer; I have to tell her right now!
Naraku: Let me guess, you're going to tell her that you're not REALLY a circus performer but somebody who sells popcorn and rice balls in the circus. (A/N: Did I ever mention that Naraku is a jokester sometimes…. even in serious situations, if I may add.)
Crowd: (Begins to laugh hysterically.)
(Sango felt a little pissed of now. Her pale skin now turning into a dark shade of red, knowing the fact she wasn't taken too seriously.)
Sango: Really funny. Ha Ha, I'm laughing my pants off…
(Sango sarcastically ratted out in a Kiddush way.)
Naraku: But you're not wearing one.
Crowd: (Continues to laugh hysterically.)
Naraku: I'm just kidding. Go on.
Sango: Like I was SAYING, before being interrupted!… I was going to tell Kagome that I…
InuYasha: Sango!
Sango: Just shut the fuck up and let me tell her!! (A/N: For the viewers at home, the 'F' word would be bleeped out.)
Kagome: It can't be that serious InuYasha. Let her tell me whatever she's got to say. It won't get me angry enough to beat the hell out of her or maybe rip her beautiful long hair off.
(Sango patted her hair and shifted uncomfortably on the chair.)
Naraku: Everybody's waiting Sango. What is the secret?
Sango: Kagome…I…I couldn't keep this secret from you any longer. I felt really depressed ever since and every time I went to sleep, it haunts me so much. Our friendship means a lot to me and I don't want anything to break it up. I feel so disgusted and screwed up right now when I think of it. I can't believe I've done this for three months now. I hate it!
(Tears began to well up in Sango's eyes and her voice began to get shaky as she continued to explain her secret.)
Sango: I...I lost…my virginity…
Kagome: You lost your virginity to Miroku!?
Sango: No….to InuYasha…
Kagome: YOU WHAT!!!!!?
------------------------
A/N: Never thought Sango was going to do something like that to Kagome, huh? You have to read on and find out what happens next. You think that was the only twist, but there's more. Please drop a review and tell me what you think. Ja ne! ^_^
