Authors Note: I really like how this is turning out. I mean, it isn't bad! Feel free to read it, hehe. Enjoy! Warning to you…major fluff between both couples! Eek! Must rip people apart…must…kill…love…well, I can't spoil anything for you.

Chapter 6:

"I'm so glad you decided to come shopping with me!" Kagome was excited, they hadn't been able to go downtown for a long time, years perhaps, "It's a good way to get our minds off of some things I don't want to mention."

"Then don't bring it up." Since yesterday Sango felt almost elated and she wanted to be a whole new girl. She even let Kagome pick out her clothes for that day; it was what she said were Sango's 'best mall' clothes.

'It's not like I can stop thinking about him anyway. I have to meet with him later today…so even a little break isn't enough to keep my mind off of him.'

She sighed, Kagome and her were going to shop their worries away.

=====

Kikyo hadn't been present for awhile. That's how she never knew about Inuyasha and Kagome's developing relationship. But Inuyasha made the boys promise that they wouldn't tell anyway, so she wasn't going to find out any time soon. Along with that, the other band members liked the new company better, so they weren't complaining.

"Boys, I know it has been very hectic because of that new deal with Sango…but we have a music business to uphold as well. So, time to move on."

Kouga nudged Miroku in the side, acknowledging him to Kikyo, "First off, how can we get more work when Miroku hasn't given us any to begin with?"

Miroku looked miffed. "We're working on it."

"What? Are there problems with you two? You better hurry up with that. I don't care if you aren't getting along, we've got a contract, Miroku! You're going to work with her whether you like it or not!" Kikyo scolded, sounding like his mother.

Miroku mumbled, "She's coming by later today."

Inuyasha noticed the small, very tiny, blush on Miroku's cheeks, "Loverboy has some explaining to do! What happened last night? Why'd you come in so late? Were you with her…did you kiss? With tongue!"

Shippo jumped up and down, trying to get in Miroku's face while doing his best impression of French kissing. Kouga danced around him while taunting him as well.

"Boys!" Kikyo growled but lost her patience when they didn't listen at all, "BOYS!"

She pushed Inuyasha roughly to the ground when he didn't listen and put her foot on his back, "Guys, this is what happens when you don't pay attention. I am bigger than you, I am your manager! I will dominate you!"

Shippo laughed, "Oh! Dominate me next!"

Kikyo stomped on Inuyasha's back a few more times to release her anger and he groaned in pain, "Don't make me hurt you! Now shut up while I tell you what I came here to tell you in the first place!"

Inuyasha got up slowly, sighing as he felt a bruise already forming on his lower back. She was a very abusive girlfriend.

"Okay, since we have to get on with our upcoming tour…I already hired dancers and you're going to start working with them tomorrow. But after what happened last time…" she eyed Shippo and Kouga who whistled innocently, "You are going to have time to bond."

"How? When? Where?"

"I DON'T CARE HOW! NOW! AND WHEREVER!"

Kouga shrunk down, "Sorry."

"Well there's only one thing I can think of that dancers would like to do to bond with us." Miroku stated.

"Shopping," they said together.

=====

Kagome and Sango had stopped for lunch. The act of shopping was very hard and tiring, they needed a break. Since it turned out to be such a nice day they sat outside at a table.

"…and I absolutely love these earrings I got! And they were such a steal too!" she took a sip of her drink and then choked.

"Kagome? Are you okay? What's wrong?" Sango knew that Kagome was overreacting to something, she always got dramatic like this. She turned around to see what got Kagome to stare wide-eyed. It was them. With other girls! And no doubt that was Inuyasha giving his girlfriend a kiss on the lips!

Kagome hissed, "Dancers…"

Sango observed the way Miroku had his arm tightly around a girl's waist, two girls cuddled with Shippo, and Kouga stroked another girl's arm, giving her suggestive looks all the while.

'How could Miroku do this? I thought something was forming between us…but he's just a hopeless pervert. I was just another pawn in his game of love. Figures.'

Sango stood up, her intention was to get him to notice her and see her peeved like this so he knew he did something wrong. Maybe then everything would backfire, that girl would be freaked out and probably stay away from him the rest of the time they were out. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to see Kagome's eyes brimmed with tears.

"Sango, let it go. I-I-Inu-Inuyasha obviously doesn't want me around permanently. And…Miroku…he's not worth your time Sango."

"Kagome, I'm not going to let Inuyasha break your heart, and I'm not going to let Miroku play me like he has so far. Alright? So sit back and watch."

She marched right up, her eyes as dark as the night and blazing with fire. The boys didn't even notice until Sango screeched angrily and fists were flying. She landed a punch right below Miroku's shoulder blade, causing him to jerk forward and arch his back in pain.

"Geez! What the fu…ck…Sango?" he saw the look in her eyes and knew exactly why she shoved him so hard, "Look, I can explain-"

"Explain my ass! I don't really care that you're with another tramp, okay? But don't pretend to like me in the process! The 'stone cold alien' does have feelings you know! And Inuyasha…never, I mean ever, show your face to Kagome ever again. You've got to be the worst player I have ever come to know."

Sango walked away, feeling better now that she had told them off even though she felt her eyes stinging with unshed tears. She bit her lip and balled her fists; she wouldn't let him see her cry, not here, or now.

"Kagome? Who's Kagome?" Kikyo put her hands on her hips and scowled, she would not let her boyfriend gallop around town with other women, "You…YOU! INUYASHAAAAAA!"

Kagome and Sango covered their ears while rushing to evict the scene as soon as possible; they didn't want to be in the middle of Kikyo and those fists. Miroku chased after Sango a little way yelling, "Sango! SANGO!" But they were long gone.

=====

"I can't believe she left." Inuyasha was holding an ice pack over his left eye while being careful to stay still while lying on his bed.

Miroku banged his head on the table a few more times, "Damn. Damn. Damn. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."

"So when are you going over to Sango's place, Miroku?" Kouga said while stuffing his face with some of Kikyo's candy that she left behind.

"I can't go over. She'll kill me. Do you see Inuyasha?"

"You have a point there. But would you rather be killed by Kikyo whenever she gets back? She wants progress!"

"And…you have a point there too. I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I don't." he groaned and went to put on a better shirt.

Kouga turned around to look at him, "So this means you are going to walk over there now?"

Miroku shrugged, "I guess, it will only get worse later."

As Miroku walked down the hall he thought over the whole situation. He didn't think he was doing anything wrong, he was told that he needed to bond with the girl and she was the one being touchy feely. Sango just happened to see everything from the wrong angles.

He knocked, hoping she would answer the door, but when she didn't he knocked again. "Come on Sango, I know you're there."

"No you don't. I wasn't even in the room imbecile." Sango's voice startled him from behind.

Miroku turned to see Sango fumbling with bags of luggage, and shopping bags.

"Here, let me take that." He took the bag that was obstructing her view of the lock, then he decided to help her with a few more.

As soon as she stepped in she snatched the items away harshly and slammed the door, all the while growling, "I don't need your help!"

He knocked again. She would have to face him sometime and he preferred it be now. Not later when the boil was left to fester and puss up all gross…well, he didn't want it like that.

"Sango! I need to talk to you!"

"No!"

"Come on! Stop acting like a baby! Come out here and talk to me!"

He knew that would get on her nerves, and it did, no one told her that she was childish or weak, that just wasn't her at all.

"God! What is it that you want?" Miroku's mouth stood gaping open, "Hmm? Come on tough guy, say something."

"Sango. Stop. We have to stop fighting. I'm sorry, okay?"

She grunted slightly, "Sorry isn't good enough! All right?"

"In the park the other night…I felt something between us. I don't want it to throw that away!"

"You obviously don't care if you go out with another girl the next day!"

He slammed his hand against the doorframe, leaning closer to her, "That's not it!" seeing that his tone scared her; he calmed himself down, "That's not it, Sango. Why would I even bring it up if I didn't care?"

"We barely know each other." She stated flatly, crossing her arms and looking the other way into the room.

"Exactly. But there was something there, and it scares me. We can't give up…not when I think I'm falling for you!"

Kagome chose that time to come in with her own bags, her eyebrows quirked. She hadn't heard, but she was surprised to see Miroku back at their room so soon, she wasn't expecting him to come and apologize before Inuyasha did. But that was just a small hope, even though her heart knew better.

"Here, let me help you Kagome." Miroku took her bags and slid past Sango into their hotel room.

Kagome looked at Sango in question, but she wasn't paying attention to her at all, she saw where her eyes were drifting. "Thanks Miroku, are you staying here for awhile? I mean, cause I could le-"

Sango's head snapped back to Kagome's and she gave her a stern look, "No! Kagome! You don't have to go! We weren't talking about anything important."

"Oh. Okay."

As soon as they all made it in and they all took a seat an awkward silence settled over them until Miroku spoke, "I'm sorry Kagome."

"For what?"

Miroku tried not to hurt her feelings but this problem needed to be solved too, "For Inuyasha. But if it makes you feel better…Kikyo beat him up really bad and then left him for who knows how long."

She was rendered speechless, "Kagome? Did I say something wrong?"

"Beat him up? Is he hurt?" she rushed to put on a sweater and took a key, "I'm sorry Sango, but I can't let him stay by himself when he's injured, he needs me."

Sango nodded to let her know it was okay, but as soon as she left Sango let the small grin on her face fade.

"So…"

Miroku moved from Kagome's bed to Sango's, as he took a seat beside her and scooted fairly close.

"Stop it, go away." She grabbed her head until her hands slid around her face and she let out a quiet sob.

"Sango?" he put his arm around her shoulder and nuzzled her neck, "I'm sorry. Please, please, please forgive me."

She looked into his eyes, letting out a few hiccups before flinging herself into his arms and she flung her arms around his neck as well, "You're so dumb, Miroku! Why don't you ever shut up?"

He found himself hugging her tightly to his chest, making sure she knew that he was there and solid, "Because if I did, would life be fun?"

Miroku pulled back and wiped away a few tears while she shook her head, "No, no it wouldn't."

=====

"Meanwhile! Back at the batcave!"

In a squeaky childish voice, "Please! Oh sexy Batman, oh hot Robin, please save me!"

"Don't worry! We'll save you from the Joker! Once and for all!"

Knock, knock.

"Would you two stop fooling around with those figurines and answer the door?" Inuyasha called from his prone position on the bed.

Kouga dusted off his hands and went to the door…when he saw whom it was he knew exactly whom she was there to see. "Oh Inu-poo! You have a visitor!"

"What? Who? It better not be a joke…Kagome?"

She blushed but then lunged forward and gave him several kisses on the cheek; his response was a blush of his own.

"Why'd you come? Don't you hate me?"

"I couldn't stand thinking of you hurt and all alone…and all cute without me here to see it!"

He rolled his eyes, "Kagome. I don't know what to do."

"Shhh, forget about that for now. Just for now you're here with me, no one else."

Kagome stayed with the boys most of the night. She made them dinner, cleaned up after them, and was just a better girl to them in general than Kikyo ever was. She spoiled them and they liked it.

=====

"That's a wrap."

Sango took another sip of her water, "I like it. We just have to make up an interlude or something, some sort of break in the song, you know?"

He yawned, "I know."

"But since you're tired we'll have to work on it some other time."

He groaned and fell back onto Kagome's bed; "Do I have to go?"

"I guess not. What do you want to do?"

"I don't know, what do you want to do?"

She giggled lightly, "This is going to get us nowhere. Come on, up! Up!"

As she began to smack him with a pillow he curled up and threw the covers over himself, "I don't want to go!"

"Well…you have to!" Sango leaned forward but was caught by Miroku and she ended up falling on top of him. They heard the door slowly creak open and they both looked like deer caught in the headlights.

Kagome's eyes widened, Sango was in-between Miroku's legs and he was holding on to her wrists as she hovered over him "Uh, am I interrupting something?"

"No!"

"No!"

"Of course not."

Miroku walked to the door with Sango behind him. "Okay. Well. See ya."

"Yeah, goodnight."

Kagome pretended not to look, but they still knew she was peeking…so when she turned away for the briefest moment Miroku took his chance and gave Sango a quick peck on the cheek. Her face turned a bright red as she watched him jog down the hall.

She put her hand up to her cheek and sighed dreamily.

EyesofMidnight: Seiko! Where were you the other day? I waited for you in the park!

Waruasobi03: My parents wouldn't let me go, I'm sorry. They're really protective of me because I am an only child.

EyesofMidnight: Oh, no big.

Waruasobi03: So how have you been?

EyesofMidnight: Excellent.

Waruasobi03: Really? Why?

EyesofMidnight: Promise not to say anything? I mean anything to anyone?

Waruasobi03: Miroku, who would I tell?

EyesofMidnight: You're right. Well…you see, it's Sango.

Waruasobi03: The spoiled super-star brat you met?

EyesofMidnight: Yeah her. But she's not a brat anymore…she's, I don't know how to explain it…so great!

Waruasobi03: So she's beyond words?

EyesofMidnight: Yep, there are no words that can describe how I feel about her. But it's weird though, we hardly know each other yet I feel an attraction to her unlike any other girl I've ever met.

Waruasobi03: I'm happy for you! Don't ever let her go!

EyesofMidnight: I won't! I g2g! Talk to you later, alright?

Waruasobi03: Yeah, later.

Sango screamed but bit her pillow to keep it down. Nothing could be better than it was that moment.

Not that I would know what it's like to do that…*cough* I'm weird. *cough* Thanks!

RogueSummers- I like Inu/Kag, but there are so many stories about them it's hard to pick one that I can get in to! And Rogue/Scott?

Aamalie- Thanks for the candy! That's the only candy I got for New Years! My cousin and I baked cookies at 1 o'clock in the morning and they turned out really flat and REALLY icky, does that count as sweets? Well, it's four o' clock now, and I'm still wide-awake, but Happy BELATED New Years! No…I mean…whatever…Happy New Years! And thank you!

Three-Legged Dog- I searched for the lyrics on Yahoo and read them…that seriously did fit in…I'll download it soon, just to see what it's like. Who knows, maybe I'll love it! Anyway…thank you for reviewing!
