It Takes Two
"What?" Sango eyed Miroku who seemed a bit nervous.
"Nothing really. . ."
She sighed, and smiled a bit, "You've never danced like this, have you?"
"No, I usually avoid dances. . ." he chuckled.
"Alright," she tried to avoid eye contact with Yui, who was glaring behind Miroku. "Just put your hands on my hips and move to the beat."
He did so, trying not to form a grin.
"Don't try anything."
Miroku sweatdropped. "I would never do that."
She moved her hips and swayed to the beat. She rose her arms again, making them bounce to the rhythm. "Right. After this, we're taking a break. I'm tired."
"Gee, and I thought you ran on batteries."
Inuyasha and Kagome's hands were held together as they danced. Their feet shuffled and both nodded to the beat.
"Last year you wouldn't dance like this!" He shouted over the music.
"Well, now I have Sango to encourage me!"
They hands parted as the music faded into a slower beat. His hands wrapped around her waist and her hands placed around his shoulders. They swayed to the slow song, talking about Miroku and Sangp.
"I can't believe Sango-chan agreed. . ."
"I know, I'm surprised Miroku hasn't groped her yet."
"He just doesn't want her to back out on him."
"Feh."
Miroku and Sango walked to the courtyard. They sat on the tables that were there, a few people giving glances at them. A banner that read 'Welcome back to school! We hope for a great year!' hung on the second floor windows.
"So tell me, what's your family like?" Sango tried to strike a conversation to break the silence.
"My mother works most of the time, I rarely get to see her," Miroku replied, propping his hand on his knee and resting his chin on it, "My father died when I was young. I have no other siblings."
"I see," she looked down, "I'm sorry about your father."
"It's alright," he smiled, "What about you?"
"My father died, along with my brother. It was rainy out, and he couldn't see very well in the car, I suppose," she leaned back, her back now against the table. "My mother and I lived together for a while. When I was ten, she left me without saying anything. She hasn't come back since."
Miroku shifted uncomfortably. 'She's lost all her family. . .And yet she can keep smiling like nothing's wrong. . .'
"Oh, don't worry about it," Sango sat up, reading his expression. She waved her hand to shrug it off. "I'm okay, really."
He smiled, not yet assured.
"So tell me," she stood up and placed her hands on her hips in a teasing manner, "What's up with you and all these girls?"
"It's. . .better for you to not know."
"Oh, really?" she arched a brow.
"Well, it appears for all girls, I tend to do this," he kneeled in front of her and took her hands. "I wish for you to bear my child!"
Her eyebrow twitched, blinking and then felt her anger rose.
"Idiot!" she kicked him into a tree.
Yui leaned against a wall, glaring at the couple outside in the courtyard. She had witnessed him holding her hands, just as if he had been to all the other girls. Then, she had kicked him into a tree.
"How dare she. . ."
A girl with blue hair and glasses was to Yui's right, and another girl with short green hair was to her left.
"They sure don't act like a couple when they're not dancing. . ." the brim of her glasses slid down her nose a bit.
"Plus she's weirdly dressed, too, right, Liza?" the green-haired girl snickered.
"Nori, you're not helping," Yui sighed.
"Well, it appears the only people who know them well would be Inuyasha and Kagome."
"That's a big major 'duh!'" Nori rolled her eyes, "Yui, just take the guy. Sango will get in trouble if she tries to do anything."
"If there really is anything going on," Liza smirked. "Sango seemed pretty surprised when Miroku wrapped her possessively this afternoon."
"I don't follow," Yui glanced at her, considering.
"I'll need to see. . ." she left into the shadows.
"Ow! Inuyasha, you stepped on my foot!"
"Sorry," he muttered, "You're the one dancing like crazy, you know."
"Oh, so it's my fault?!"
"Can't be mine if you're the one in the way!"
"The least you could do is watch what you're doing!" she argued.
"Calm, Kagome-chan, calm. . ." Sango patted Kagome's back, surprising the two.
Miroku chuckled, a few girls had asked him to dance, but he had already pointed to Sango.
"Party!" Sango yelled, moving her hips in a teasing manner, making her way into the crowd. Miroku followed.
"Do you think she'll like him?" Kagome titled her head, "I think they make a good couple."
"Yeah, the way she danced with him, doesn't seem like pretend, does it?" Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"I don't think Sango's that kinda girl to be with a guy, though."
"Ah-ha!"
Kagome and Inuyasha turned around to find Liza, a huge grin on her face.
"I knew it. . ." she quickly scurried to Yui on the other side.
Kagome paled.
Sango and Miroku danced, but slowed when she saw Yui, Kira, and Nori heading their way.
"This won't be pretty," she muttered.
"It's not real, is it?!"
Miroku looked taken back, "What isn't?"
Yui pointed at them. Everyone's attention slowly came to the center.
"It's all fake, right? Kagome said it herself."
Sango shot a glance at the pale Kagome. She shook her head, telling Sango she didn't do anything.
"This is a misunderstanding. . ." Miroku tried to negotiate. "We're for real."
"Prove it!" Nori dared.
"How do you propose that?" Sango asked, not really wanting to know.
Liza and Nori looked to Yui.
"Kiss him," Yui challenged. She knew Sango wasn't that kind. Liza had told her that information from Kagome.
"Err. . ." Sango sweated, her heart racing.
Everyone looked at them, waiting.
"Well? Go ahead," Yui smirked.
