Hey, it's me! I know, I know; what the hell took me so long? Well, school
and writer's block. But mainly school. I'm done busting my ass to get good
grades, I got them already and it appears that my head will stay intact!!
So anyway, here's an update. Finally.
Chapter 4: A Day At The Mall, pt.1 SANGO'S POV
I groaned as I heard the bell ring once again. 'GOOD GOD!! Am I the ONLY person in the house?!' I thought irately. I glared at the clock as it flashed 8:13. "I'M COMING!!!" I yelled loudly, not caring if I woke up my stepfamily.
"I swear I'm gonna kill whoever it is!" I thought threateningly. I threw on my robe and walked downstairs without shoes, shivering at first at the cold hardwood floors. I didn't even bother to look through the peephole; even if the mayor of Tokyo were standing there, I'd still pummel him. I swung open the door, and lo-and-behold! Sai and Kamilyn stood grinning at me.
"You two are dead." I glared at them and said bluntly. Of all the people in the world, my two best friends should know how temperamental I am in the morning.
Sai squeaked at seeing the meat cleaver I was swinging precariously in my hand. She jumped behind Kamilyn with bulging eyes. "I told you we should've waited until later!" Sai whined, tugging on Kamilyn's sleeve.
Kamilyn rolled her eyes and poked Sai in the stomach roughly, causing her to fall and roll around with tears streaming down her face. "We were just thinking that we could go to the mall today."
"At 8:20 in the morning?" I asked bluntly.
I could tell that Kamilyn was nervous since she was eyeing the cleaver cautiously. "Well, of c-course not. B-by the time you're ready and the guys are ready, the mall will be open." Kamilyn explained trying, to sound as calm as she could.
Suddenly, Sai stopped her wailing and jumped up, eyes wide and sparkling with child-like innocence (yeah right ~_~). "Plus, it's that new mall outside of the city and the stores are having big grand-opening sales!"
"Sales?" I asked, putting the meat cleaver back into the secret compartment in my robe. Kami and Sai let out little sighs of relief. "Well... ALRIGHT!!" I shrieked, causing Kami and Sai to cringe.
I allowed them to come in and they sat down on my couch to watch T.V. My first foot was halfway up the first step when I turned my head suspiciously. "What guys?" My eyes thinned to little slits of red.
"Huh?" they both asked in unison and swiveled their heads around to peer at me 'innocently'.
"I said 'what guys?'." I repeated myself, though I knew that they had heard me perfectly.
Sai seemed to be the first to get it. "Oh! Just-" Kami, however, slapped her hand over Sai's mouth, probably to stop her from saying idiotic, or... or to stop her from spilling their plans, whatever they were.
"I don't remember saying 'guys'." Kami looked at me simply. But I wasn't buying it, not for ONE second. "What about you, Sai?"
"Guys? What guys?" she looked around the room. "You mean at the mall? Well of course there'll be guys at the mall, silly! It's a MALL. We go shopping for clothes and they go shopping for us!" Sai replied happily.
"Yeah, sure, okay." I said slowly and walked up the stairs very, very slowly, watching them the entire time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In one hour, I was completely ready and we were climbing in Sai's dark purple SUV. "Hey, Sai, why don't I drive?" I suggested feebly. Sai's not the trustworthiest person when it comes to cars (or anything else for that matter..).
"Why?" she looked over at me. I was sitting next to her, in the front seat; Kamilyn stationed in the back.
"Um, just because." I shrugged.
"Tell ya' what. You can drive on the way back. I'm gonna drive because I drive faster than either of you and I wanna beat the traffic! Besides, we've gotta distance to go." Sai cried and stepped on the gas pedal extremely hard.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Out of all of Sai's driving expeditions, that was the most frightening and horrific of all. I seriously didn't think I'd live to see the sales IN the mall. Maybe a hospital wing, but not the mall. Kamilyn and I staggered out the SUV, extremely shaken up. Sai had made U-turns at 75 mph, tried to wind through traffic at 90 on the expressway and came to a SCREECHING halt at stop signs and traffic lights. The parking lot almost turned into the Indy 500 when her and this other lady were trying to get the parking space at the very front. In the end, we won the space and a string of curses to shame a sailor.
Kamilyn and me looked like we had been to hell and back when we got out; meanwhile, Sai looked liked she normally did after hopping out from behind the wheel.
We staggered a bit before recomposing ourselves; I felt as if I was gonna puke, but I somehow forced it down. Sai and Kamilyn walked ahead of me, as if they had envisioned this trip in their mind. I followed behind, mentally thinking about the things I NEEDED and the things I WANTED. The 'wanted' list won.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed that Kami or Sai had stopped. I also didn't notice the person in front of me until I collided with them. "Oof!" I cried as I collided with a tall muscular body.
"Sorry." I said and looked over at Kami and Sai... who were talking to Miwa- san and Jin-san, which means... that dope Miroku is somewhere around here.. And since everyone is staring at me and this person... the guy must be.. "MIROKU!" I shrieked and hopped away.
"Nice to see you too, Sango-chan!" he cheered and pulled me into a tight hug. It felt more like a death grip than a hug, though.
"Aw! Kawaii!" Sai squealed and ripped out little Japanese flags. Jin pulled out a camera and started taking pictures of us. Kamilyn and Miwa-san glared at them and promptly hit them over the head with a purse and map.
I pinched Miroku in the chest and he left go of me, wailing like a little baby. I glared at him triumphantly while everyone else sweatdropped. "What a coincidence seeing you guys here!" Sai announced rather loudly.
"Uh, yeah. I heard from some friends that the cutest chicks come here on the weekend! Guess he was right." Miroku grinned and looked all around him, his gaze finally resting on me, Kamilyn and Sai.
"Excuse me? Did you call me a 'chick'?" I glared back.
"Er..no?" He backed away in one big step.
"Good answer." I stated and turned around to look at the mall with the other four people sharing it. "Whoa. This mall is terrifyingly huge!" I said as my eyes bulged at the size of the map. It looked like it could be an encyclopedia when you folded it up.
"Hmmm, I have an idea!" Sai suddenly exclaimed, that innocent look in her eyes once again. "Why don't we all shop together? We can all get to know the mall better. Besides, if you guys are here for girls, then we know exactly where they all are!"
"I'm game!" Miroku suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Yeah, sounds good to me," Miwa-san nodded.
Everyone then turned to look at me. "Oh no you don't! How 'bout we stay in our respectful parties and go about our day?"
"Aw! Sano, you're no fun at all!" Sai whined and gave me the cutest little pout I had ever seen. It didn't move me at all, and I shook my head once more. "Okay, the hard way it is.." She sighed and reached in her purse and pulled out a little black book. "I didn't want to have to do this, but..."
"You're gonna 'little black book' me? Golly, I'm shaking in my boots." I drawled sarcastically.
"Oh contraire, Sango-chan." Sai smirked.
"Yeah, this is a log of all our blackmail material ever. We've been recording all that embarrassing stuff you did/do that we 'promised' not tell in a little black book for about five years." Kamilyn waved the book.
"You WHAT?! You suck!" I yelled at them.
"Hey, let me get a peek at that!" Miroku said and Sai motioned him over. "Which is the most interesting?"
"Hmmm, definitely May 23, wouldn't you agree Sango?" Sai looked at me suggestively and I leaped to grab a hold of, it crashed into Miroku.
"Oh Sango-san! Twice in one day, you're SO forward!" he cried and pulled me into a death-grip once again. Sai ripped out her flags and Jin started snapping pictures.
Thankfully, Kamilyn hit them both and confiscated their flags and cameras- hopefully for the rest of the day. "Concentrate on the task at hand." She nudged Sai roughly.
"So, Sango, May 23 or one day in a mall with Miroku? May 23? Miroku? May 23? Miroku? May 23? Miroku?" Sai switched her head from side to side.
"Okay, okay! I'll go." I muttered bitterly. Some friends I have!
"Yayness!" Jin and Sai cheered.
We all set off towards the first stop when I felt a hand rubbing on my but! I spun around to look into Miroku's smiling face. "I'm warning you hentai." I growled low in my throat.
"What?" he shrugged clueless.
I shot him a death glare and scuttled in front of Miwa and Kami who were wrapped up in a deep conversation. I looked over to Sai and Jin, and they were acting stupid and talking about idiotic things. 'Oh man! No one to talk to.' I whined to myself.
'How about that hot guy who's walking next to Miwa-san?' a little voice inside me suggested.'
'What hot guy?' I asked myself and looked over to Miroku. He looked a little lonely, and I felt a little bad. 'Nope, sorry. I don't see him.'
'Baka.' My conscious scoffed. 'Miroku!!! Standing there looking forlorn and sad.'
'Oh alright.' I sighed in resignation and moved to stand beside him. 'But what to talk about?'
Miroku, however, spoke up before I got a chance to. "So, what school you plan on going to?"
"Huh?" this is a question I hadn't expected. "Oh, well I'm debating between Tokyo U and Kyoto U. I think I'll go to the latter, though. What about you?"
"I'm going to Kyoto University myself. I'm gonna major in bio-engineering." He said. Must be smarter than I thought. "I've been studying for entrance exams for months, there's no doubt in my mind."
"You're certainly positive." I said observantly. "I wish I had that confidence. I've been studying since the beginning of this year and I think I'm gonna flat out fail." I muttered, a little embarrassed at telling him this.
"Have some faith, Sango-san! You're a smart cookie, you definitely have SOME brain in that head of yours!" Miroku poked at my forehead annoyingly.
"Gee, thanks." I muttered sarcastically.
"Hey guys! We're here!" Sai announced. I looked up and noticed that we were all standing outside a boutique called 'Youkai'.
"Yay! Clothes!" I cheered happily and Sai, Kami and I practically trampled the guys trying to get in it.
When they finally recovered from their fresh cuts and bruises, we made them hold our jackets and purses while we shopped our little hearts out.
"So Sango," Sai shot me a meaningful side-glance. "I saw you and Miroku talking." She said coyly.
"So?" I asked absently as I leafed through a rack of jeans.
"So," Kamilyn jumped in suddenly. "You two looked mighty cozy."
"WHAT?!" I looked up startled.
"Yup. Yup, it's true!" Sai nodded her head vigorously.
I looked at them for a few seconds, before shaking my head decisively. "You two are crazy. We weren't REALLY talking."
"Then what were you REALLY doing?" Kamilyn asked.
"We were.. er... um... see..." I stuttered nervously. Kami looked at me pointedly. "Okay!" I cried in frustration. "We were TALKING, but only about college."
"One small step for Sango, one large step for mankind." Sai rattled. "You, know Sango and Miroku haven't yelled at each other ONCE the entire time we've been here."
"Yeah, I wonder if that means anything?" Kami and Sai turned to stare at me.
"What?! Now you guys are really crazy! That only means that he hasn't done anything to upset me yet." I said, feeling as if they were trying to back me into an inescapable corner, and doing a pretty good job at that.
"Hmmm. Wonder why THAT is." Kamilyn murmured.
"Wait!" I said desperately. I was determined to not let Sai and Kami hear what I think they wanted to hear. "He DID grope me. That pissed me off pretty bad." I was very satisfied with my quick save.
Sai and Kami looked stumped for a second, but Sai immediately brightened. "Then why didn't you make a big scene and try to beat him up?" she pointed out. Damn. I hate it when Sai actually thinks.
Kami instantly caught on. "Maybe because she liked it." She nudged Sai and they started rattling about how many children we would have and how cute they would be.
"I HATE you two!!" I yelled and stalked out the store. Walking about four stores down, I sank onto a bench, arms crossed over my chest and a foul look on my face.
'Why are you getting so worked up over a few little dumb comments your friends made?' a small voice in my head asked.
'Because,' I thought, 'They had no right!'
'Sango, they were TEASING. You tease each other all the time! What's so special about this time? Could it be that what they say is true?' my conscious suggested.
'I CANNOT believe this! Even my conscious thinks I like that idiot hentai! This is turning out to be the worst day of my life!' I screamed in my head.
'You better believe it. And actually, May 23 was PRETTY bad..'
'SHUTUP!!' I roared and my conscious was silent from then on out.
~*~*~*~*~ Sidebar~*~*~*~*~*~
"Gee, we didn't mean to make her THAT mad." Sai frowned as they watched Sango storm out the store and out of sight.
"I TOLD you this was a bad idea." Kamilyn scolded.
"Guess you were right." Sai shrugged. "Well, let's go get Jin and Miwa and tell them it's off. They both walked over to where the guys were standing as coat racks and looking as if they were about die. "Psst. Miwa and Jin! Come over here."
Miwa seemed to be daydreaming (probably of a chair) when he heard his name being called. Looking up, he saw Sai motioning then over. Turning to Jin, he saw that he had fallen asleep with his eyes open and he had to nudge him fairly roughly several times before he woke up. "What?" Jin asked, mad at being disturbed from his rest.
"Let's go, baka." Miwa said. Turning back, he added to Miroku, "We'll be back." Miroku nodded without a word.
Miroku finally looked around to see that Sango was nowhere in sight. He had sort of spaced out during the last twenty minutes and figured she must've walked out the boutique while he was busy being inattentive. "Maybe I'll go find her. She could get lost in this place."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Houston, we have a problem." Sai stated and everyone looked at her as if she had three heads. "What?" she asked clueless.
"Sai, just-just shutup." Kami rolled her eyes. "Anyway, Sango's gone. And she's really mad that we suggested that she might like Miroku. I'm thinking we should call it off."
"But all our elaborate scheming! The plans and lies and tricks! They were so ingenious!" Jin wailed. "And they'd have made to best couple!"
"Yeah, I know." Kamilyn sighed. "I would've LOVED to see them get together! Well.."
"Hey, where'd Miroku go?" Miwa asked suddenly. Everyone looked over to where Miroku was standing to see that he was no longer there. "This is just great. Now how are we supposed to find that blockhead?!"
Sai suddenly got an idea. "I know! He's with Sango! Our WILL be with Sango in a minute or two."
"What makes you say that?" everyone asked at once.
Sai just shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. Just a strong possibility."
"Right, or he went after some girl that walked by. That a strong possibility, too." Miwa said wryly.
"He'd come back, right? So let's just wait it out. Even though this isn't the way we wanted to stick them together, it may be just what we need. Let's go ahead with the rest of our plan and see what happens, okay?" Kamilyn said. When everyone nodded in agreement, they all walked out the store together, careful not to get caught.
Okies, how was that? Sorry I had to make you guys wait so long for this rotten piece of fiction, but you know how it is. Anywayz, tell me what you thought of this chapter by dropping a review. Arigatou, minna-san!

"What makes you say that?" everyone asked at once.
Sai just shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. Just a strong possibility."
"Right, or he went after some girl that walked by. That a strong possibility, too." Miwa said wryly.
"He'd come back, right? So let's just wait it out. Even though this isn't the way we wanted to stick them together, it may be just what we need. Let's go ahead with the rest of our plan and see what happens, okay?" Kamilyn said. When everyone nodded in agreement, they all walked out the store together, careful not to get caught.
