It Takes Two
Inuyasha's arms were wrapped around Kagome's waist, her head against his chest as the two sat on the couch. A blanket curled around her legs as she slept soundlessly in his arms. His amber eyes watched her hand intertwined with his.
"I love you. . ." she whispered in her sleep.
'How can she say it so easily. . .?' he thought.
His head turned to view the tiny slits of rays through his window.
Sango knocked on Miroku's door. It may have been early, but she needed to talk to him.
"Yes?" a woman opened the door slightly, but then extended seeing the girl.
"Is. . .Miroku here?" Sango blinked.
Was this his mother?
"Ah. . .you're not one of his fan girls, are you?" she peered closer. "I don't care how rich you are."
"No! I mean I'm just his friend. . .really!" Sango flustered, waving her arms in defense.
The woman chuckled, "I'm sorry. He's not here right now. I believe he's a school working on some club of his." She sighed, "I'm such a poor mother who knows nothing of her son's agenda."
"You're not as bad as my mother. . ." the girl blurted softly. She bowed and turned to leave.
"Are you Sango?"
She glanced behind. "Yes. . ."
"Oh. . .Miroku's talked about you. . ."
Sango said nothing, but the redness of her cheeks seemed to answer the woman's comments.
She closed the door softly.
"So, he's talked about me, huh?" Sango placed her hands behind her head, walking towards the school. "I suppose I should take it as a good thing. Ow!"
"Yui! You're supposed to aim when you hit the damn tennis ball!"
"It was going to hit me!" the girl protested.
Sango picked the tennis ball up, searching through the tennis courts to see Yui and her coach.
"Funny, I thought you hated sports," Sango exclaimed throwing the ball back to her.
Yui flinched and screamed as the ball nearly hit her feet.
"I didn't choose to do this, my family's making me. Plus, it keeps my figure slim."
Sango turned on her heel and waved.
"Idiot," she muttered.
She entered the cool school building, the halls empty, and the classroom doors locked. The only sound was her feet clicking against the tiled floor.
Quietly, she reached the building's top, opening the door slowly. She found Miroku standing, his back facing her, staring through the gates down to the city.
Sango stepped towards him as to not make a sound. Somehow her heart felt the need to embrace him. Her arms reached around his waist and she pressed her cheek against his back.
"Miroku."
The boy glanced down at the Sango. His violet eyes widened at her bruised body. Her eyes seemed swollen and her legs were decorated with scars.
"Sango, what happened?"
She let him go, stepping back and smiled at him.
"I figured out what I needed."
Kagome gripped the pillow before she turned.
Thump.
"Ow. . ." she pressed her hand against her forehead. Where was she?
'Oh, that's right. Inuyasha's apartment.'
She smelled pancakes in the air.
Kagome fumbled through the floor and reached the kitchen. Inuyasha was there, flipping pancakes in a pan over the stove.
He blinked, "You're awake."
"You're observant."
"I know," he replied, smirking. "Are you feeling better?"
He set the pancakes on a plate and placed them on the table.
"Yeah, thanks a lot, Inuyasha." She smiled.
"I. . .heard you in your sleep."
She scratched the back of her head. "Sorry, was I snoring?"
"No. . ." he shifted uncomfortably.
"What did I say?"
"You said 'I love you'," he replied.
"Oh," she glanced away from embarrassment.
"Is it true?"
"Well. . ."
Then there was knocking on the door. Inuyasha mushroom sighed and followed Kagome as she reached for the door.
"Hel--"
Kikyo stared at her, and then glanced to Inuyasha.
"If you grope me, don't think I won't throw you off this building."
Miroku took notice of this warning.
His hand slipped through hers as they both looked out to the scenery below.
"So, why were you up here?"
"Oh," he scratched his cheek. "I just wanted to get away from a few things."
"I see."
Sango saw a glimpse below of someone near the bushes. She shook her head and when she looked again, the figure was gone.
"Not you, of course."
"Hm," she began to walk away.
"It's true!" he insisted.
The girl stopped and looked back at him, sticking her tongue out, "I know."
A mischievous grin spread on his face as he chased the girl down the stairs.
"Kikyo. . ." Kagome began to shut the door, "Don't come in!"
The other girl's foot stopped the door, "I wanted to see Inuyasha. . ."
"Don't interfere with us. . .please leave. . .!"
Kikyo shoved the door opened. "Let me in!"
"No!" Kagome pushed the girl away from the door.
Inuyasha's eyes widened at the two girls.
Sango's key clicked the door unlocked, and she entered the dark hall. Her heart was replenished with joy every time she thought of Miroku.
And then she saw her.
Her mother stood there when she flicked the light on. An angry face stared back through Sango's eyes.
"Don't think I didn't see you with that boy!"
"Wait, you don't understand. . .!"
Her mother grabbed her hair and flung her into the wall.
Sango was in trouble, and no one would be there to help her this time. . .
"Let me be!" Kikyo grabbed Kagome's wrist and tugged her away.
"Wait!"
By the time Kikyo turned to look back, Kagome had begun to fall back down the stairs.
"Kagome. . .!" Inuyasha cried. When his eyes look down, Kagome had already been knocked unconscious, a small pool of blood by her head.
