It Takes Two
Kagome and Sango headed to World History class together. It had been a two weeks since the party. Yui had been suspended for drinking and driving, along with four other students.
"Anything interesting lately?"
"Life's been boring," she lied.
"Well, you've been holding the girls back from Miroku, at least," Kagome joked.
Inuyasha leaned against the door outside for Kagome while Miroku inside with three seats reserved. Sango sat next to him, and Kagome and Inuyasha in front of them. Sango was about to write notes until her lead snapped.
A girl had entered class, not one she liked, either.
"Yui, I see you've returned," the teacher says, having a different view of her thanks to her suspension.
"I see she hasn't changed a bit, either," Sango muttered, noting her rather short uniform skirt.
Yui's eyes fixed on Sango, and then to Miroku. She walked gracefully and sat on the other side of Miroku.
Miroku heeded no attention to her, much to her disappointment. He kept his mind occupied in his notebook.
It's wonderful to meet a person like you,
You're just my friend.
But maybe. . .
It shouldn't go in that direction. . .
"Miroku, is there anything you want to share with us? Your writing seems to be more important than the lecture."
"Uh, no ma'am," he smiled innocently. The teacher rolled her eyes and continued with talk.
"You seemed dazed out," Sango stated as she walked with Miroku to lunch. Her hand was in his.
You know, pretending.
"Oh, my thoughts we just occupied," he replied. "Oh yeah."
He opened his locker and pulled out a bouquet of roses for her.
"Wow," her eyes widened at the sight, and heard tears from girls who were watching. "You didn't have to," she whispered.
"I know," he smiled.
She winked at him, "Anyway, hope you'll be ready for the Halloween Party. Did you hear what Kagome was going to have Inuyasha wear?"
He shook his head, and grinned at Sango's wicked smile.
She stood on her tiptoes and whispered the plan in his ear.
"You're gonna make me wear WHAT at the dance?" Inuyasha growled at Kagome.
"Please, it'll look cute. . .!"
"You expect me to ear an oversized kimono, make my hair a silver color. . .and WHAT?!"
"What? You could be a dog demon. . .Inu does mean dog. . .And dogs have ears. . ."
His eye twitched. "And what're you going to be, a cat demon?"
She shook her head a smiled, "A priestess from the Warring States Era!"
Inuyasha fell to the ground at her statement. "A priestess?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"That's the most ---"
"Never mind, I don't want to hear it!" Kagome stormed off.
"Wait, come back!" Inuyasha ran after.
Sango changed after school. She, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku were going to go to the carnival.
"Love and peace," Sango did a victory sign when Kagome ran over. She had a tied-dye shirt on with jeans.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I had a little argument with Inuyasha earlier," Kagome panted. She fixed her hair and made her attire of a yellow sundress and a jean jacket look more sophisticated.
"Miroku brought roses for me," Sango said a bit shyly.
"You really don't feel any affection for him?"
"I. . .have reasons. . ." Sango shifted uncomfortably. "But. . .I guess I sort of like him. . ."
"Hello," Miroku greeted, making Sango change the subject quickly.
Both of them walked together after Miroku had caught up. Kagome bothered not to wait for her boyfriend.
"Kagome, I tried to say sorry!" Miroku heard over the crowd. His black hair was flailing up and down trying to wave for Kagome's attention.
"What exactly happened?" Miroku questioned, curious.
Kagome growled, "He didn't concur on my suggestions."
"Kagome!" Inuyasha grabbed her wrist.
"You know," Sango said with a grin, "You two should really work things out. . ."
It must've been coincidence they were in front of the Ferris wheel ride. Sango shoved both of them into a cart alone.
"Sango!" Kagome glared, as the door was shut closed and the wheel turned.
She rolled her eyes, "I'm sure by the time they're done, it'll be like nothing ever happened."
Miroku eyed Yui coming towards them, and shuffled Sango on the ride as well.
There was an awkward silence and both looked out the window.
"Hey, Miroku. . ." She looked at him.
"Hm?"
"You know how to said you rarely see your mother?"
"Yeah?"
Sango glanced away. "What's it like when you do see her?"
"Well, we talk about school and stuff. By then she'll probably have to leave for working again."
"I see," she said quietly.
"Why?"
"Nothing," she replied quickly. She decided to change the subject. "Miroku, how long will this last?"
"Well, the ride's almost over," he said, trying to hide his sadness.
"No, I meant. . .the pretend thing."
"Oh," he looked out the window and avoided her eyes. "I don't know."
"You never know," she pointed out.
"I'll let you know at the Halloween Dance."
"Why can't you tell me now?"
'If I can keep it deep inside me. . .' he thought to himself, 'Then I won't be able to talk about it. Not just because of who she is, and who I am. . .'
"Fine, I'll wear the damn dog ears!" he heard Inuyasha yell from the other cart. It was shaking with Inuyasha's rage and Kagome's victory.
"Secret," Miroku smiled at her confused look.
'Mother. . .why did you have to return now? When things were going fine?' Sango thought, returning both of them into the void of silence.
Her fingers clutched together nervously, but Miroku failed to notice as he too was buried in his thoughts.
'The Halloween Dance. . .' his heart raced, 'is when I want to make it real.'
Three-Letter-Word- Of course! Ice cream fights are always interesting! Yet sticky. . .
Icecream0626- Oh that's true. . .Hn, I should've made Miroku grope her. . .oh well! Lol. Thanks for reviewing all my fics, btw. I really appreciate it even though they aren't good. ^^
Aamalie- Eek. Whenever I get on the computer, my eyes really hurt, so I can't really read fics. I want to see your Hershey 'n Kisses fight. XD Oh yes. . .it would've been Sango's first kiss anyway. . .Haha.
Crimson Eyed Angel- LoL. Ice cream fight! But I know you love ice cream too much to let it go. . .XD!
Soli-chan- Ahh, sorry I didn't explain so well. So Sango was about to be hit, but Miroku pushed her out of the way, and he landed on top of her, with his hands against the ground. She landed on the side therefore hitting her side forehead and her sides were bruised. . .does that make more sense? x_X;;
Bluefuzzyelf- Hahaha. I wish I could start one. . .I think there was a food fight at our school once. O.o;;
Kyosnekozukigirl- Kyo's cool. Yuki just scares the crap outta me. X_x;; I love Hatsuharu. . .!
RavenShadow- Of course Miroku will charm Sango somehow. . .^^ Wait till the Halloween Dance. . .
StoryWeaver1- LoL. ^_~
Ladyofthedragons1- I want to try an ice cream fight. . .but I'm afraid I'll get sticky. . .
LivEvil- I concur. Oops, sorry, I didn't notice it'd be too short. I think this one is too, but I don't have time nowadays. :\ Damn you, marching band! :: Shakes fist :: And I just got myself into Full Orchestra from 7:00 – 9:00 --;; And so many fics to write. . .
So, did you guys understand the ending? He meant he was gonna ask Sango to make the commitment real. And not pretend, because, well, our favorite hentai has fallen for her! Sorry, it's kinda fast. . .but I couldn't think of anything else to write about, plus I'm in a rush, so jaa ne! Please R + R!
