Chapter 2
"No way. NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO! I don't have a choice, do I? You are so evil, Yuri. When does this start? It's Friday, remember?"
"That is the best part! Tonight is the school dance! Remember? You have to go. I am going with you, only to make sure you begin your dare. You might want to go home and get ready; it starts in an hour. I will stop by your house to pick you up in forty-five minutes. See you!"
An outraged Sango stormed out of the basement, up the stairs, and out of the house. Kohaku was playing in the front of their house with Kirara and Kirara. Sango didn't even acknowledge they were there. She opened the front door with such force, Kirara (the cat) jumped.
"Mom, I'm going to the dance tonight, okay?" Sango yelled as she pounded up the stairs.
"That's fine dear, what time?"
"An hour from now, Yuri is coming to pick me up in forty-five minutes. I'm getting in the shower."
"That's great honey, I'm glad you are finally getting involved at school."
Sango didn't hear the last part; she was already half way to her room. She grabbed a pair of black pants and a red tank top from her closet and laid them on her bed, then jumped into the shower.
*****
"Sango, it's Yuri!"
"Coming." Sango said as she walked down the stairs. She wore black baggy pants with red streaks up the sides, and a matching red tank top. Her hair was in two messy buns on the top of her head, and she wore heavy black eyeliner and red eye shadow.
"Hey Sango, you look great." Yuri said as Sango approached the door.
"Yeah, thanks. Bye mom, I'll be home around ten. I'll call if it's any later." Sango and Yuri walked outside into Yuri's mom's Porsche. Sango had always loved the red 911 and jumped into the back seat.
"How are you, Sango?" Yuri's mom looked at her through the rear-view mirror.
"Fine. Thanks."
"I saw your brother with a cat outside, and a little girl, is that Kirara?"
"They both are Kirara. Kohaku wanted to name out cat Kirara, after the girl he likes, and she came over today I guess. I didn't notice."
"The cat was really cute, wasn't it mum?" Yuri spoke up.
"Yes, the red markings were unusual, but very cute cat indeed. Well, we're here. Yuri, meet me here afterwards, no dilly-dallying."
"Okay mum, see you." Yuri got out of the car, opened Sango's door for her, and they walked into the large high school.
*****
Sango sat next to the far wall, eating a cookie and sipping a soda. They had been there twenty minutes, and Yuri was in the bathroom. She watched the ones she was supposed to be befriending dance around in the middle of the cafeteria.
She looked over her choices. Miroku was the perverted one. He had a habit of grabbing any girl's butt that was within reach. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were brothers. They both had silver hair that everyone thought was unnatural, but were more of an extreme blonde. They hated each other, and barely ever talked. Hojo the most popular guy in school. Shaggy brown hair, glasses, and a way with the ladies, or at least, most of the ladies.
There was no way she was going for Hojo. She had punched him too many times. Sesshomaru was oddly handsome, but had a nasty temper. Inuyasha and Kagome were going out. That left one guy.
*****
Sango wasn't always a guy hating, homework ignoring, punk dressing girl. In fact, she used to be a part of the group. She and Kagome were best friends in elementary school and most of middle school, but then, something happened in eighth grade.
Naraku had started a rumor about both of them, that one hated the other and didn't want to speak to her ever again. Of course, they both believed what the other had supposedly said, and just figured Naraku was a messenger from the other. Sango eventually figured out the truth, but Kagome didn't believe her, and therefore hated Sango's guts.
Naraku had been invited on a blind date...with Sango's fists. He missed three days of school supposedly because of a rare disease, but Sango knew he was too afraid of letting everyone see that a girl had beaten him up.
That was why Sango A: hated all boys and B: didn't hang out with that group any more. She became a punk and befriended Yuki and Yuri. Of course, eventually Kagome found out what had really happened, but it was to late, Sango was already gone.
*****
Sango sighed and stood, leaving her soda behind. She walked over and tapped Kagome on the shoulder. Kagome turned around and saw Sango, rolled her eyes, and turned back to her friends.
OH my god, I really am going to kill Yuki. This is so stupid...why did I agree to this anyway? I mean, clearly, Kagome doesn't want to talk to me.
But...it is a dare...and I did make Yuki go through all that...whatever.
"Kagome look, would you just listen to me for a minute?"
Kagome slowly turned around.
"What do you want, Sango?"
"I would like to say I'm sorry."
"For?"
"Eighth grade."
There was a pause... "Oh."
"You forgive me?"
"Well..."
"Look, you think it was easy coming over here and asking you to forgive me for something that happened almost three years ago that I didn't even do?"
Kagome thought about it for a minute, "Yeah, I forgive you." Kagome looked at her old friend and smiled, Sango shrugged. "Hey guys, looks who's back?"
"Sango?" Kikyo muttered, then looked over at Kagome questioningly. Kagome nodded and smiled.
Hojo choked. He had joined the group after Sango had left - he had moved into their town in ninth grade. Therefore never knew Sango had even been in the group in the first place.
Sango didn't look to happily at Hojo, either. Miroku walked up to Sango, followed by Inuyasha.
"Hey Sango. Welcome back." Miroku smiled at her, Sango didn't return the smile. Sango may be back in the group, but she never said she wanted to be overly friendly, especially to Miroku.
"Yeah thanks, you know Miroku, you haven't really changed much." Sango said as she reached behind her and grabbed his hand, which was about to rub her butt. Miroku blushed, so it is back to old times. Sango was the only one who ever knew when he was about to...strike.
"Yeah well, looks like you have, Sango." Inuyasha spoke up, looking her over. "When did you go...err...punk?"
"End of eighth grade. After the...um..."Sango shot Naraku a killing glance, "Incident."
Inuyasha followed her gaze and realized what she meant. He laughed, "You must have got him bad, he missed three days of school."
"Yup. Two black eyes, a bleeding lip, broken nose, and a kick in the groin will always get 'em good." Sango said, as Naraku's eyes widened severely. No one had ever really found out what exactly happened to him, and he thought no one ever would. This was going to kill his reputation.
Miroku and Inuyasha's eyes were wide, also.
"You really did get him bad then, didn't you?" Miroku gulped, he never knew Sango had gotten that aggressive, except for the daily punch that she gave Hojo, and he returned.
"You and Hojo still don't get along, right?" Kagome asked.
"No." She shot Hojo a horrible look, and he smiled evilly. Sango knew it was going to be a long year.
"No way. NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO! I don't have a choice, do I? You are so evil, Yuri. When does this start? It's Friday, remember?"
"That is the best part! Tonight is the school dance! Remember? You have to go. I am going with you, only to make sure you begin your dare. You might want to go home and get ready; it starts in an hour. I will stop by your house to pick you up in forty-five minutes. See you!"
