Surprises and a Never-ending Freindship
~Yeah! One down, one to go! You've finally gotten revenge for all those things she's done to
you. Such a friend, huh? Well, you thought she'd hate you after what you've done, you know? For
the honey and vinegar that you splashed on her. For the mouse you planted in one of her still
packed bags. For scaring her into thinking that you weren't there when you were. For having
made her worry, only to find out it was another of your tricks. And especially for disguising
yourself as the perverted drummer with the nickname 'houshi' and saying that she had liked him.
Well, she stayed your friend, at least you think so. But after what is about to happen... Well, um...
Let's just say that... You'll be lucky to be out of the hospital in a month and even luckier if you can
walk again... Ever... Oh, shoot! You're in trouble now!~
"Oh... no..." I whispered, terrified of what I knew was going to happen. Sango would never
forgive me. I'd be happy if she would ever speak to me again.
"KA-GO-ME!" Sango screamed as she walked up, face to face with Miroku. He was taken
off guard by her expression and it showed clearly.
"Kagome?" Miroku asked. "My dear Sango, I think you have me mistaken with that friend
of yours, though how you'd mistake the two of us is beyond me."
Sango raised a quizzical eyebrow and stared unbelievingly at the man before her. "You get
better by the second. You really must have practiced. Kami-sama knows I'll never be able to get
you back for this!"
Ayame had lost her grip on Kouga's shirt and staggered over to me. She looked at me for a
second then at Miroku and back to me. "Um... Kagome, ka?"
"Hai?" I asked never taking my eyes off of the couple causing such a scene.
Sango was still dripping wet with the liquid she'd been drenched in while I was seeking my
sweet revenge and her dress was ruined for life. It was kind of funny, looking at her standing there
yelling at the wrong person... But, the truth of the whole situation frightened me. I was dead for
sure if I didn't stop this now.
"Why are you so wet?" Miroku asked. His eyebrows furrowed as he took a quick sniff at the
air and coughed. "Is that vinegar I smell?"
Too late.
Sango had had enough. He should have kept his mouth shout.
"WHY YOU!!"
She pushed me- I mean Miroku- and he stumbled backwards, falling to the ground with a
loud thud. Yep! He was totally confused and Sango was... Well, there really isn't a word to
describe it. It was beyond furious, and I was glad I wasn't the one she was releasing her angry and
frustration on, even though it was meant for me. I felt bad for him. That is, I felt bad until Sango
stood over him, a foot planted firmly next to his sides.
"I can't believe you'd do this to me! How could you?" Sango screamed. Now every head in
the hotel turned their way.
"Oh my word! Why would he cheat on her? She looks like such a lovely lady," a voice to my
right asked. I turned to see a middle aged woman talking to her husband.
Her husband shook his head sadly. "I do not know, but I think he will soon understand he
has made a mistake he will always regret." He looked down at his wife tenderly. "One we will
never make."
She smiled at him, completely forgetting why she'd ask. They walked away, speaking quietly
to themselves.
'Aw! That was so kawaii!' I thought, then groaned. It had reminded me of my promise to
Mother.
"WELL? ANSWER ME!"
My attention turned back to my friend.
'Friend for now,' I thought.
"How could you do this? My hair is going to take forever fixing and this dress-MY DRESS
IS RUINED!"
I looked down at Miroku and noticed he wasn't breathing. Nor was he watching Sango.
Then I noticed exactly were his gaze was focused on and realized their position. If I was seeing
correctly, he could see straight up her dress! Yep! I was a goner for sure!
Sango must have noticed that something was wrong with the person beneath her. She
crouched down to look into the victim's eyes. "Um.. Are you okay? Hey! Kagome, you better
start breathing. You can't die like this. I want to be the one to kill you!" She snarled.
'It's now or never!' I took a deep breath and shouted over to her. "I'm breathing fine,
Sango-chan. Thanks for worrying, though the end of your statement doesn't make me feel like
you care."
Sango looked over to the direction in which she heard my voice and gasped. If I was there
then... And she had been standing... He could see directly up... He wasn't breathing...
"HENTAI!" she screamed and slapped Miroku hard before leaping away from him having
finally realised the situation she was in. She admired her handy work for a moment then spun
around to face me. She gave me a glare that made everyone in the room shiver involuntarily. Now
that was a cold, meaningful glare. It plainly told me her thoughts. I would get my just desserts
later... But now she was intrigued by the appearance of Miroku and Kouga.
She turned to look at the fallen drummer. "Gomen... I..."
"It's okay," he said as he stood up, dusting himself off.
"Iie, it isn't. I thought you were Kagome... I... Gomen," she told him while staring intently at
her foot as it kicked at a speck of dust on the ground.
"Yeah, I kind of guessed that a while ago..."
His voice trailed of as he spotted a woman walking by herself. He strutted over to her as
Sango lifted her head to see what had caused his silence. She looked around, trying to see him.
There he was, speaking to another woman as if nothing had just happened. She gave a small
'humph!' and walked over to Ayame and me with her head held high.
"So, what brings you here?" She spoke looking past me. I had forgotten about Kouga. I
turned around to face him.
"We're staying here. Well we were, but I don't know about now," he sighed. "As soon as
Inuyasha see's you three here he's gonna-"
"What the hell are you doing here!" Barked that ever-so annoying voice from behind us. We
turned to look at the owner of the enraged snarl. He was more than upset to see that we were
rooming there as well. I was amused to see he was wearing the same clothing as the night
before... Yet, not enough to make me any less angry, well not angry, but annoyed.
"WE were here first!" I yelled at him. "So, WE should be asking YOU not YOU asking
US!"
"I can ask what I want to whom I want, whenever I want to and there's nothing you can do
to stop me!" He yelled back, his eyes just daring me to try it.
He was right, again. I couldn't stop him. But I wasn't going to give up.
"Baka," I mumbled. "What's your problem with us any way?"
"You make me sick!" he snarled.
"Why's that, huh?" I asked, raising one eyebrow slightly and folding by hands over my chest,
mimicking the arrogant guitarist.
"Keh!" he snorted.
"You don't have one do you?" I questioned mockingly to Inuyasha.
"Doesn't matter! You still do!"
"WHY YO-"
"So, why you here?" Sango spoke up, seeing the oncoming fight.
"Some crazy-ass fan girls found us and we had to get away-" Inuyasha began.
"Or get kidnapped-" Kouga added.
"Or get killed-" Miroku spoke up as he walked back over to the reunited group. Sango
glarred daggers at the smiling drummer with multiple red handprints imprinted on this face.
"Or worse-" Inuyasha spoke up once again.
"Kissed!" The band excaimed in synq.
'Yeah... riiiiight,' I thught.
We all shuddered at the statement. I shuddered for a different reason than the others....
Except maybe Sango. Who on EARTH would ever want to kiss ANY of those BOYS?
"Sango-chan?" Ayame spoke up after a few moments of silence. "What happened to you?"
We all turned to look at the girl who was shivering in her thoroughly soaked clothes. Oh,
Kami-sama! Her hair was going to have to be shaved at this rate. The honey wasn't as watered
down as I had believed it to be.
"Why don't you ask her!" Sango shouted as her turned on her heel and stomped off to the
room. I felt kinda bad... Kinda.... Sorta.... A little.... NOT AT ALL....
I couldn't help but laugh at her once the threat of hospitalization was gone. The others just
starred at me, waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting...
"WHAT HAPPENED?!" They all yelled impatiently as I held my sore sides.
"Ano..." I stiffled back a laugh as I told them the horrible, terrible, cruel, evil revenge I had
finally wrought on Sango. The honey, (I told them I did the handy electrical work, even though I
didn't- come on! It was only a little white lie!), the mouse, the vinegar, my disguise, her reactions
to EVERYTHING- excluding my statement about her fascination with 'houshi'.
"Kagome-chan! That was horrible," Ayame shouted at me.
The traitors told me she was trying not to laugh, sticking up for her abused and absent
friend. That's what friends were supposed to do, right?
I sighed and grinned. "Yeah, I know. But it wasn't my revenge that got to her the most..."
They all stare at me. Inuyasha snorted, Kouga furrowed his brows confusedly, and Miroku
just looked at me quizically.
"I think that her real frustration didn't start until she realised she attacked the wrong
person..." My expression changed from humor to horror in seconds. "Oh no! She's gonna think I
set this whole thing up!"
"You did, didn't you?" Ayame looked at her friend worriedly. "Are you feeling okay,
Kagome-chan? You look pale..."
"Iie, I mean about them showing up!"
"But Inuyasha said why we were here-" Kouga yawned.
"We all did," Miroku added.
I thought for a second. What would Sango believe. The band had shown up coincidentally
or that I had called up a favor and promised them something in return for doing so.... Well, if I
were her I'd think-
"It doesn't matter! She's gonna think I paid you or something-"
"Keh. Why should she think that? We'd never do anything for ANY stupid fangirl," Inuyasha
grumbled. I glared at him for all I was worth, and he- along with any male within a block- to a
step backward. I smirked inwardly.
"I already told you- I'm NOT a fangirl. Don't flatter yourself, baka."
"Whatever, whench."
"Jerk!"
"Bitch!"
"Bastard!"
"Stupid fangirl!"
"Tone-deaf guitarist!"
"NANI!?!" I smiled at myself once again. Me- 2, Inuyasha- 0.
"You heard me, you- you- you," stuttering as I looked for a fighting jeer.
'Darn, shoulda quit while you were ahead,' I scolded myself, still looking for the right
words. Giving up I repeated myself. "Tone-deaf guitarist!"
Inuyasha smirked. Oh, I just wanted to reach out at slap him! "Run outta comebacks, did
we?" He asked mockingly. "Loser!" He put his finger and thumb to his forhead, making the best
'L' he could, while sticking out his tonge.
Me- 2, Inuyasha-...by embarrassing me and himself in front of everyone and not noticing... I
sighed and marked down on my mental chalkboard '1'.
"Whatever!" I looked over to Miroku and Kouga, grabbing Ayame by the arm and asked as
happily as I could if anyone was hungry. They all nodded and we walked off, leaving a stuttering
Inuyasha behind, gaping at our retreating backs. HA!- but I don't get a point for that...
******
"Gomen! I'm so, so, so sorry Sango, but I didn't plan it that way!"
We were sitting in our room, Ayame was stalking the members of Demonic, trying to get
the honey out of her hair. Note to self- honey cannot be diluted enough to be safe on hair.
"I don't- Itai!- believe you!" She snapped. "Why else would they be her. I don't by their
story, not one bit!"
"I didn't plan it, just like I didn't plan-"
"ITE! ITE!"
"Gomen. The light exploding in the bathroom," I tried to convince her. I know that I
wouldn't believe me either. "Onegai, Sango-chan, trust me. I didn't call them here and I didn't set
up that nice display of fireworks you set off."
"I know you didn't set up the light... I did that," She whispered. I heard her though.
"Why'd you fall for your own trick?" I said, trying not to laugh. I failed miserably.
"It's not funny Kagome-chan-"
I sighed in relief. She still consitered me a friend.
"Nani?" Sango questioned my release of breath.
"Nothing... Anyway..."
"Oh, yeah! I only fell for it because I thought you'd have done it and I wasn't thinking
straight anyway. I was drenched in an unknown liquid and was furious," she explained. "Ite!
Kagome, watch what you're doing! Are you trying to scalp me?" She screeched.
"Gomen ne... Why don't you believe me?" I asked. I was a little sad that she would still
consider me a friend yet not believe me. It kinda hurt. But, I still wouldn't have believed myself.
"It's too much of a coincidence and he was right there, just in my line of vision," she said
while hissing as I caught a snag on another tangled mess of hair and honey with the twelth comb
to have graced her head.
"Well, I didn't, but believe what you want to," I sighed and set down the comb. "You need
to soak you're hair in some hot-HOT- water before we try anymore. We don't have anymore
combs."
Sango stood up and walked over to the bathroom and turned on the light. We had
roomservice get us another bulb. She walked in and shut the door. "Arigato, for trying..."
"Arigato... For staying my friend," I said, just loud enough for her to hear.
"I'll always be you fri-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
KA-GO-ME!"
I grinned. Well, she'd still be my friend. I didn't see any reason not to have a little fun.
