A/N: the end of last chapter was pretty angst… nyah… I wasn't in a good mood… This chapter sucks… I'm slightly stuck and it would be really weird, sorry if it's hard to read And I think Kagome's slightly OOC too.
I'm feeling really tired, but happy right now… Been reading the best fanfic!! Read fics by Queenizzay I fully recommend it!! They're really funny! Love them^^
And I've decided that the title would simply be 'Your Smile'. Well, I'm not sure yet and I'll change it eventually… Please give me suggestions!!!
Disclaimer: I am desperate for episode 132 (and heaps of others too) and mangas above volume 19. Of course I own Inuyasha! Geezz…-.-
Your Smile

Chapter Six – Enter, Lech!
As she stepped into the dining room, Sango felt her mouth water, as she smelt Mrs Higurashi's famous cooking. Little that she know that the moment she stepped in there, her life would change even more drastically than it had the past few months.
"Sango-chan! Guess what? You're staying for dinner too!! And-," Kagome's sentence was interrupted by a foreign voice.
"Don't forget about me, Kagome! I have been friends with you way longer than that Sango girl had been, so you better not forge-," the person who had been speaking interrupted himself when he saw Sango, "…-get me?"
"Ah, sorry, Sango! This is Miroku Houshi. He's my so-called childhood friend. He goes to Shikon High too, except he's in Senior High, so we won't see much of him at school. He's a lech, so you can just ignore him," Kagome waved her hand in the air as if dismissing Miroku.
"Kagome, Kagome," Miroku shook his head in feigned sadness, "Always denying your undying love for me. For all you say, I know I am unreplaceable in your heart."
"Well, yeah. Since you're the only lech around, you're kindda unreplaceable," Kagome answered dryly.
"I admire your patience in enduring Kagome," Miroku winked at a startled Sango.
"Uh… Thanks?" Sango was in lost for words, the two seemed very familiar with each other and she felt a bit… out of place…
"Stop confusing my friend, Miroku! I'm quite proud you've hold yourself back and haven't asked her for a date already!" Kagome pulled Sango towards the table, "It's Oden, Sango, Oden! Mama cooked it especially for us!!"
"Miroku-kun, why don't you come and join us too?" Mrs Higurashi asked politely.
"If I can be a nuisance for a bit longer, I shall," Miroku gave a charming smile and then sat down on the table, across Sango, "It is a good day indeed that I may sit with four charming women."
"Cut the crap, Miroku," Kagome scooped food into her plate, "Itadakimas!!"
"Geez, Kagome, have some manners," Miroku shook his head in feigned dismay as he watched Kagome gobbling up the oden.
"Ieh Lhike odwen, mindh yoru ow bushiness!!" Kagome answered, mouth full of oden.
"And so Kagome shows her true self," Miroku smiled at Sango's amused expression, "Forgive my friend's manners, Sango."
"Shut up, Miroku! I'm hungry, okay? Besides Sango-chan doesn't mind, do you?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Not at all," Sango answered calmly eating her own share.
"See!" Kagome smiled triumphantly at Miroku and continued her eating spasm.
"Sango's just being nice that's all," Miroku defended himself.

Sango stretched lazily, still feeling half asleep as a result of her late studies. Her sleep had been so much better now compared to when she arrived a month ago. Was it really a month ago? It felt weird to think that she had only been here for a month, she felt like she had been living here for years now. It's not like she's forgotten her life before the city, it's just that is seemed so far away now. She can't believe that only a month ago she felt like the skies had just tumbled down on her that she had even considered ending her life.
She groaned inwardly as she got to stand up again in the bus as usual, the school was only two stops away, so by the time she got on the bus, it would already be full of students. She started thinking about the visit to Kagome's place and laughed inwardly, remembering the argument between Kagome and her childhood friend. They would make such a cute couple.
Sango vaguely felt the bus stop to pick up some more students, she even heard someone giving up their seat for an elder despite her concentration on her thoughts. Feeling the slight inconvenience of the large crowd, Sango got lost even more in her thoughts.
It was just a few minutes before the last stop when Sango felt someone caressing her rear. Veins popping on her head, Sango's first reaction was to try and slap (or kick or hit or punch or whack or… yeah… the list goes on…) the offender, except it didn't quite work since they were in a full-packed bus. Knowing that screaming would just be lame and ignored, she carefully examined her surroundings as best as she could and stepped on the offender's foot. Hard.
Sango felt the satisfying sound of the offender's gasp and felt the hand waver away for a few seconds before it placed itself back stubbornly where it was unwanted. Sango was shocked and disgusted at the same time, the sick pervert!! She practically stomped on the pervert's foot, but the hand would not move.
Luckily for Sango, the bus arrived at the school stop and people started streaming out and the hand was removed. Sango, however, had stubbornly stayed to her spot and glared at the person whom she was stepping on.
"Err… Could you please let me go…?" the person cowered under Sango's evil glare.
"eh? Oh, s-sorry, I was… erm… tuning off…" Sango immediately lift her foot of the girl's foot. Somehow, she must've missed her real target, but how could she? She was sure she had the right foot… Was it just pure luck?
"That poor girl, she must've been too scared to say anything," a mocking voice remarked as Sango hopped of the bus.
"Who the-," Sango's head snapped to look at the owner of the voice.
"Why, imagine seeing you here, Sango," Miroku greeted her pleasantly.
"Ho-houshi-senpai?" Sango stuttered, not believing her own eyes.
"Such an honour to have a lovely lady like you to remember me," Miroku answered dramatically.
"Did you- Was it you who- I mean-," Sango was beyond shock.
"There's the bell, must get going then. See you around," Miroku walked away calmly leaving Sango still trying to figure out what she was trying to say.
"HENTAI!!" she screamed after her brain and mouth was able to function again.
"I'm locking the gate now," the school gatekeeper threatened, slightly annoyed that the girl wouldn't just get in the school already. Being a gatekeeper is pretty boring, seeing all the kids having fun everyday while all he does is guard the gate and clean up the mess that they made. And what does he get? Nothing, absolutely nothing! No one ever appreciate his hard work, they never even notice him.
Though, it is worth it sometimes when he gets to taunt the late students and then see them getting taunted even more by fuming homeroom teachers. But he had liked this particular girl, she was different from the other students, arriving only a month ago, she had greeted him politely every morning and even thanked him for the small tasks he did for the school.
This morning, however, she seemed a bit ruffled and her face was as red as a ripe tomato. She took her time freezing in front of the bus stop and then screaming her lungs out before running briskly into the school, literally fuming. Somehow, she still managed to give the gatekeeper a strained smile and the gatekeeper appreciated her efforts, knowing that if it were someone else they would've just ignored him. He swore that he wouldn't leave the person who did that to her alone. He knew who it was and evil plans were starting to form in his wrinkled head.
Laughing evilly, he locked the gate, ignoring the protests from the students outside.
