Authors Note: Again, I thought this chapter was a little corny/ cheesy. But, oh well. It's being released and that's all that counts, right? About that...I'm extremely sorry for not having this out sooner; school is just in the way. After a long day of school I don't feel motivated enough to sit down and type. I'll try my best though! I hope you like! Please read and review!

Chapter 2:

"Sango? I'm going to change first, okay?" Kagome called as she headed to the hotel bathroom and shut the door.

Sango rolled her eyes as she heard Kagome start to sing one of her own songs, belting it which probably meant she had ten minutes or so until her whole cherade would actually end. With her laptop already on and plugged in she signed on, tapping her fingers as she waited.

EyesofMidnight:Hey!

Sango practically jumped up as he IMed her with substantial speed.

Waruasobi03: Oh, hey!

EyesofMidnight: What's up?

Waruasobi03: Um...nothing much, how about you?

EyesofMidnight: Nothing except me and the guys are at a hotel for the night.

Waruasobi03: Sounds fun.

EyesofMidnight: It's not that bad, except I have to hang out with my grouchy manager for 24/7.

Suddenly she didn't know what to respond with, and all she could think about was how she was lying to him.

Waruasobi03: What's it like being a star?

EyesofMidnight: ...it's great, actually. I like knowing people look up to me.

Waruasobi03: Yeah...

EyesofMidnight: Don't get me wrong...there are downsides. Like you don't have many friends and you don't have time for anything but show business. Sometimes I wish I were just another teenager.

She used all of her willpower just then not to type, 'I know how you feel', but then he would know. Kagome had finally finished her randition of "Guess Guess," Sango's latest single, and came out of the bathroom looking at herself in the full-length mirror.

EyesofMidnight: And you can't have relationships either...I want to get to know a girl because I'm not going to be young my whole life...

Waruasobi03: I want to change all that for you.

"Sango! Your turn! I picked out my favorite suit of yours for you! Just in case...you know...shows up."

"Kagome!...Alright...hold on."

Waruasobi03: Look, I have to go. But I'll talk to you later.

EyesofMidnight: Me too. We're all going swimming.

::EyesofMidnight Signed Off::

Her eyes widened in realization, 'If he's going to the pool...and I'm going to the pool...then we'll both be at the pool!'

She groaned and brought her hands around her own stomach, curling into a ball on the bed.

Kagome ran over and sat down next to her, resting a gentle hand on her friend's shoulder, "Sango? What's wrong?"

"Kagome..." she moaned, "I don't think I'm up to swimming anymore..."

Kagome kept silent and Sango opened one eye to see what she may be doing. Of course, as expected her lower lip began to quiver and her eyes began pleading with Sango. Sango moaned again for good measure but Kagome's expression never changed. She grabbed a pillow and smacked her companion.

"Fine! We'll go! But if I throw up in the pool, it's all your fault!"

Kagome threw the bathingsuit in her hand at her and went back to the mirror, twisting to get a view of her backside. Sango sighed before stomping into the bathroom and slamming the door shut in a not too friendly gesture.

"Stupid Kagome...now I'll have to be in the same room with that good for nothing..." she mumbled before getting interrupted.

"Sango? Hurry up!"

She almost wanted to growl but fakely smiled and responded sweetly, "Coming!"

=====

As Kagome strutted into view Sango was still bent on staying low profile, covering herself with her hands and running from plant to plant. Kagome found the perfect table and slipped off her sandals.

She looked around, suprised to find that she was alone, "Sango? Sango? SANGO!"

A plant attacked her and grabbed her from behind while using its plant like arms to cover her mouth.

'A plant is attacking me! Ah AH! Oh my God, I'm going to be killed my a murderous plant and then--'

"Psst. Kagome. It's me, Sango. Shut up...I'm trying to be a little less suspicious here."

Kagome yanked her arm away from the plant attacker and made a sound of disapointment, "And acting like a living breathing plant isn't suspicious?"

"Um...excuse me...are you talking to that tree?"

Oh no! It was Kouga! Sango could tell even through the leaves by his gruff voice, muscular body, long black ponytail, and the tail that he sometimes wrapped around his own torso. Soon enough Shippo was next to him, looking around curiously.

"Uh, no.heheh, why would I do such a thing?"

"Technically...I'm not a tree, I'm a plant." Sango mumbled audibly.

It stayed silent for a few moments before..."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they were gone.

Sango wiped her brow in relief and let out a little, "Woooh!"

"That was not funny..." Kagome then took off in the other direction, having an inner battle with herself whether to go in the hot tub or the pool first...hot tub, pool, hot tub, pool....

=====

On the other side of the huge, nice, and fancy hotel pool, Inuyasha was not having a good time of his own.

"I hate water...I hate water...I hate water...I hate water..."

Girls that walked by laughed, pointed, and giggled because of the silly hanyou who was wearing floaties. Quite frankly, he didn't care. As long as when Miroku, Shippo, or Kouga decided to push him in he couldn't sink to the bottom like a rock...and drown...and die...a horrible, horrible watery death at the bottom of a hotel pool. (He's a little sensitive on that subject, it's his worst fear...)

A raven-haired girl who caught his eye walked by, talking cheerfully to herself. He wanted to wipe that smile off her face, but best of all, he wanted to do it with a kiss. Well...after a while of course. WAIT! No, no, no! He had a girlfriend. Inuyasha looked around, letting his eyes scan the perimeter of the room. Oh, yes, he had a girlfriend by the way...who wasn't there at the moment!

"Hey, you!"

She didn't even look up, the nerve of that girl!

"Girl! I'm talking to you!"

Her cheeks turned a light hue of red and she looked up slowly to the person before her. Then she looked around, seeming to do the same as he was but then said,"Meh-meh-me?"

Inuyasha wanted to bark but refrained from doing so, "Yeah you."

'Wow, she's a beauty...she looks so much like Kikyo...but better!'

Just then a shaky and nervous Sango walked into the view of the disgruntled inu and he just erupted! He could lose sight of that attractive girl, for crike's sake! With agression, but not overly violently, he pushed her aside and into pool not without hearing a yelp from her.

He 'dusted' off his hands before advancing on Kagome, "Now...where were we?"

=====

What had happened to make Sango walk directly in the staring path of Inuyasha? Well let me tell you...It was only a few minutes before and Sango decided that it was okay to come out from behind the plant, seeing that Miroku was wearing sunglasses and he had his nose in a book way on the other side of the pool. Kagome had gone missing so she decided to just get in the pool by herself. She stripped down, taking off her cover-up shirt and sandals before walking over to the edge to dip her foot in.

Miroku was not oblivious. He had taken a notice to Sango as soon as she stepped foot in the place. First off, she was famous, and secondly, she was absolutely gorgeous. He watched her from the rim of his sunglasses, thanking the inventor of those things so that he could stare at girls any time he wanted...anonymously.

He got up, determined to finally meet the infamous Sango, and made his way towards her.

Sango had just sat down, lightly swaying one of her legs in the water when a flash of purple caught her eyes. She looked up to see Miroku, the one and only, heading straight for her with a goofy smile on his face. She knew exactly what he wanted to do. Without hesitation she stood up quickly and jogged around the edge of the pool, ignoring the odd looks and stares she got from people. Little did she snow he was running to catch up with her!

Only a minute later had she dodged a hanyou in red swim trunks and then been harshly pushed towards the pool. She splashed in head first, and from under water she could hear another splash as her head connected with the bottom of the pool...and she blacked out.

=====

Miroku dove in the pool, not because Inuyasha had pushed her in, because he was willing to do anything to meet her and this seemed to be the only means at the time. When he resurfaced she was nowhere to be found so he ducked his head under again, opening his eyes this time, and lucky for him there was a damsle in distress that needed to be saved! Without wasting time he grabbed her around the middle and swam to the top, ignoring any shouting from other swimmers.

"Sango!"

"Ayayay! Forget about her!"

"Inuyasha! You big jerk! She almost drowned!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and stepped aside as Kagome helped Miroku hoist Sango onto the edge of the pool. Shippo, Kouga, and Inuyasha joined Miroku and Kagome as they huddled around her, all staring widely at her unmoving body.

"...You think I should do mouth to mouth?"

Kagome blinked as Inuyasha smacked the poor guy upside the head and yelled, "Get your head out of the gutter, bouzo!"

Sango's eyes fluttered open and she took a good look at the world around her. There was Kagome, good...and Inuyasha, Kouga, and Shippo...not so good. Then, well, there was her worst nightmare, (Or what she wanted to believe was) Miroku.

"Thanks God you're awake!" He exclaimed, looking oddly relieved for her safety.

"GAH!" SPLASH! Now Miroku was the flapping fish in the pool, so much for warm welcomes.

Kagome sighed and exchanged glances with Inuyasha. Something told her that Sango would be just fine.

=====

Kikyo took a swift look at the clock. 5:05. The guys were supposed to be back an hour ago, but knowing them, they had totally blown off that idea. She didn't mind all that much because she had other business to attend to.

After biting off most of her nails and filing them down again, she decided it was about time she just got to the point. With her cellphone charged and the number already typed in, she slowly and nervously let her finger go to the green call button.

"What the hell am I so nervous about? She's a freakin' old lady for Kami's sake!"

The phone made the beeping sounds and it rang only twice before someone answered on the other line with a squeaky voice,"Hello?"

"I'm looking for Ms. um.... Kaede?"

"Oh, may I ask who is speaking?"

Kikyo debated whether to tell the truth before just sighing; "I'm Kikyo. I represent the band InBetween."

"Hold on one moment please."

Music played and before long Kikyo was singing along, but she's tone-deaf, let me tell you. A click was heard but she didn't take notice.

"Arg! What is that awful racket?"

She coughed and cleared her throat, "Oh, sorry...that was, my parakeet, you know how noisey those things get."

After giving out a laugh she only heard silence on the other line. Obviously singing loudly while already knowing she was tone-deaf was not a good thing to start a conversation out with.

"Um, excuse me, Kaede?"

"Look hun, I don't have all day. I've got a teenage pop-star to look after."

"Okay. To get to the point then...I'm Kikyo and I represent the band InBetween."

Kikyo was about to go on when she heard the older woman speak up and brightly this time, "Oh, finally, InBetween has come for a compelation."

The papers Kikyo was holding slipped from her grasp and she stumbled to pick them up, trying not to lose her composure, "Of course. I've come to notice that Miss Sango is staying in hotel Winston with us, and I was just..."

"Would you like to do lunch?"

She struggled to keep the phone is her hand, "Uh, lunch? Yeah, I mean, yes! Can we discuss the finer details then?"

"Mm, hm. Tomorrow. Eleven o' Clock at O'Malley's Pub."

"Alright, I'll see you then...goodbye!" Click, she was already gone. Show business was strict and clear cut and maybe a little too precise for Kikyo. But man, freakin little old ladys could be intimidating!

=====

"I don't care what you say, Kagome! I don't like him, we don't even know each other."

Kagome picked up her clothes and once again headed for the bathroom, "I know, I know! But he was totally checking you out. That's all I'm saying."

Sango noticed that that was completely true. He was ogling her with his eyes the whole time they saw he each other, and that was bearly for five seconds!

She logged on again, bored.

Waruasobi03: Hi.

EyesofMidnight: Hey, how's it going?

Waruasobi03: Good, and you?

EyesofMidnight: Okay I guess.

Waruasobi03: Why just okay?

EyesofMidnight: Well, at the pool I met this girl...and don't get me wrong, she was something to look at. But I think she's a snob.

Sango's eyebrow twitched...a snob? Her?

Waruasobi03: A snob? Why do you say that?

EyesofMidnight: I practically saved her life, and all she could do was scream at me.

Waruasobi03: Oh, yeah, how rude!

EyesofMidnight: You know who she was?

Waruasobi03: Who?

EyesofMidnight: Sango. I don't know if you've heard of her, but she's a pop star too.

Waruasobi03: Of course I've heard of her! She's awesome! That doesn't sound like something she would do...

EyesofMidnight: Well, she did. I don't mean to put her down or anything, because I know millions of people like her, but I just don't think I would be able to stand a moment alone with her after that.

Waruasobi03: Don't say that! Give her a chance. You can't judge her by just one meeting.

EyesofMidnight: I guess you're right. And thanks for the help.

Waruasobi03: Oh, it's no trouble.

EyesofMidnight: So, anyway...what kind of music do you like?

Sango smiled, and for once she forgot all about being a popstar. He just did that to her for some reason. Before long Kagome came out of the bathroom and rented a movie on their television, but Sango didn't even notice. When their conversation was over, and the laptop was securely put away, Sango was huddled in bed, not even tired. It may have been 1:00 a.m. but her mind couldn't get off of Miroku.
