Chapter Two:

Monday at school, Kagome told everyone that Sango had lost her voice, as they had previously planned. If she couldn't talk, she wouldnt be able to respond to Miroku so he'd leave her alone for now... Right?

"Hey, Sango..." Miroku said, sitting next to her in their science class. The teacher was almost always twenty minutes late.

Sango was reading some book, ignoring him. Each class was 45 minutes long, so the people in the class had most of it to themselves like a study hall or something.

She looked up from her book and almost glared at him.

"Oh... Yeah... That's right... You lost your voice..." He said conceredly.

*~Yeah... sure... ~* she thought.

"Leave Sango alone, Miroku!" Kagome said after just entering the class room late. Sango looked at her gratefully.

"I wasn't bugging her... Or trying to make her talk..." he said.

"Yeah... Well... She feels like shit so leave her be!" Kagome told him.

Okay...." He sighed, turning to talk to Inuyasha.

Sango smiled and returned to her book, she'd have to remember to thank Kagoem for helping her, later.

After school, Kagome went home with Sango.

They sat on Sango's couch in the living room. Inuyasha would be picking Kagome up later for the date theye had planned in a half hour.

"So... Where are you and Inu going?" Sango asked.

"Either the ymovies... Again... Or the mall... " She told her.

"Cool... Have fun for me... " She told her.

"Why don't you come with us?" Kagome asked.

"I'd be the third wheel...." She said simply.

"I see your point... That's never fun... So... I'll make sure I have some extra fun wherever we go for you..." Kagome told her.

"Thank you..." Sango laughed.

The phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times...

"Aren't you going to answer it?" Kagome asked.

Sango checked the caller i.d. "It's Miroku... You answer it..."

"Kagome nodded and picked up hte phone. "Hello?"

There was a pause as he said something.

"Hi Miroku.... No.... She doesn't have her voice back yet... If she did why would I be answering the phone?" She said.

Sango laughed silently.

"What do you want Miroku? We're busy." she paused as he answered. "No, Sango will not go to the movies with you and your friends... Right Miroku... I'll make sure she knows you want her to call you when she gets her voice back... Bye."

Sango laughed again, only outloud this time. "That was good... " She said, as a loud car honked outside her window.

"That would be Inuyasha.... I'll take my leave now..." Kagome said, giving Sango a hug. "Bye."

"Bye Kagome... Call me later..."

"I will... Bye..." She said as she ran out smiling.

"Why'd you drag me here again, Kagome?" Inuyahsa asked. They were at the mall sittign on a bench out side of one of the stores inside.

"Because we've seen everything good that's playing at the movies..." she told him.

"Holy shit Kagome! Is that Miroku?!" He asked pointing.

"Shit... Yeah it is..." She said, watching as Miroku and the girl they'd seen him with at he movies walked into a girls clothing store.

"She's pretty hot..." Inu mumbled, then got smacked upside the head by Kagome.

"We are so following them!" Kagome said, walking off towards the shop they had just gone into.

"This is so stupid..." Inu mumbled, following her as she entered the shop and hid behind a clothes rack.

"Shut up! They'll hear you!" She told him.

"Fine!" He said.

"Eeek! They're coming! Quick! In here...!" Kagome said, pushing him inside the circular rack of clothes... They sat in the center of hte circle, kagoem half on top of Inuyasha.

"I could get used to this..." Inuyasha said, smirking at Kagome.

"Shhh!" She said.

Miroku and the girl were looking at the clothes on a rack near the one Kagome and Inu were inside of, so they could hear everything said clearly, but couldn't be seen.

"Oh... And last week, my ex- did the funniest thing... And by funny... I mean creepy... It involoved a puppet... Think about it." She said. She had the most annoying voice Kagome had heard in a long time.

"I can only immagine what he did with it..." Miroku said, smiling lewdly.

"How d'you think I'd look in this?" She asked, holding up a pair of very low cut jeans and an almost see-through, fishnet sleaved shirt.

"Hot..." He laughed.

"I am so getting this!" She shreiked.

"What do you mean you're getting it...? I'm the one with the money here!" He said. They both laughed like it was an old joke or something.

~* She's gotta be atleast two years older than him... Definately out of school...*~ Kagome thought.

"Come on... It's all clear this way." Inu said, pulling her out.

"I've got to call Sango when I get home..." She said. Inuyasha led her to a bench and sat, but she sat on the ground.

"Hello? Kagome...? It's a bench.... You sit on it... That's what it's for..." He said.

"You don't know that!" She said.

He looked at he funny , then quickly stood. "Can we leave yet?" He asked.

"Sure... I need to call Sango.... She wont be happy..." Kagoem said.

"Why don't i just drop you off there?"

/~8~/~8~/

"Hey Sango?!" Kagome yelled through the door. "I know you're in there! Did you fall asleep again?!"

"I need to stop falling asleep on the couch..." Sango said, opening the door.

"Good plan..." Kagome laughed.

"Well? You weren't planning on coming over here again... That I know of... You must have some reason for coming here and waking me up..." Sango said.

"Aren't you happy to see your best friend?" Kagome asked, smiling.

"That depends... What are you here to tell me...?" She asked, knowing Kagome to well.

"Alright... You caught me... Me and Inuyasha went to the mall, figuring Miroku and that girl would be at the movies.... Well guess who we saw at the mall." Kagome said.

"Miroku and the bimbo..."

"Yup... So we followed them and hid in a clothes rack.... She said somethign about her creepy ex and then asked how he thought she'd look in the outfit she had picked out and he said hot..." Kagome told her. It wasn't that big a thing... But still....She thought Sango ought to know about it...

"Anything else?" Sango asked.

"oh... And she has to be atleast two years older than us.... definately out of school..."

"Alright... So... Anywhoo... Is Inu waiting for you?" Sango asked.

"Nope... I'm gonna hang here for a little while." She told her.

"Oh... Thank you for inviting your self into my house..." Sango said.

"Oh... you're-"

"Shh!" Sango said, cutting her off. " I think I heard something..."

"Is your mom home?" Kagome asked.

"No... She's at work " She whispered.

"Okay..." Kagome whispered.

"I think it came from outside..." Sango said, then opened the door.

"Hello, Sango..." Miroku was staning right outside the door... He must've been listening to them. "It appears you have your voice..."

"Heehee... umm.. I just got it back recently...?" She treid.

He nodded, not believing her. "Well... I came by to make sure that you were doing okay with out your voice... Maybe make yo usome soup or something... But I guess I'll just leave."

"Wait, Miroku, I-" She began.

"Why'd you lie to me, Sango?"

"I didn't!" ~* But you did lie to me... *~ she thoguht.

"You promised you'd never lie to me..." He told her.

"You promised you wouldnt have a girlfriend unless it was me!" She countered.

"What are you talking about?!" He asked.

"Just leave..."

"I know I promised you that... But what does that have to do with this?!" He asked.

"Just leave now, Miroku" She said again.

"Alright Sango... But I'd like you to know that I am really confused..." He said, then left.

"The bastard! I hate him!" Sango exclaimed.

"Calm down... He's probably really pissed at himself now and is going to break it off with the bimbo as we speak..." Kagome said, reassuringly.

"Yeah... Sure..." Sango said bluntly.
