Wow! Finally on Chapter 2...sorry if Chapter 1 was too long/too short. Heh. This is fun. Haha. Okay, well...here's Chapter 2!..........
==============================================================
Chapter 2
It was 1 o' clock in the morning, and Kagome was all packed and ready for the move. Her mom told her that it would be a long drive, and that they should leave early. The moving truck would come with the rest of their stuff later.
"Mom! Why don't we just drive in the moving truck? I believe that we are able to! And it would take a lot of worry out of all of us if we drove it!" an irritated and distressed Kagome yelled.
"Kagome, honey. I wish you would really cope with me on this one. Please! For once, just cope with me here. I know it's difficult for you to accept that you won't be with Rin or Hojo anymore, but please! I'm sure that you'll make new friends!" Her mother sighed.
The thought that she wouldn't be with Rin or Hojo anymore came back into her mind. Kagome tore excessively in the back car seat.
"I didn't ask to move! I don't even want to move! And why do I have to sit in the back?! Why does Miroku always get to sit in the front!?" Kagome replied with tears in her eyes. 'Oh boy, I feel so stupid now..did I just complain about sitting..in the back?!'
"Honey, you already know the situation that we're in. Just think of it like, Miroku is a new big brother. And older people always sit in the front." Her mother said.
Kagome sighed and sat back in her seat. 'He's not my big brother. Psh! He's not even my brother! He's my freakin cousin...'
"No, no...it's okay Auntie." the black haired boy said in the front seat. "If Kagome wants to sit in the front it's okay...I'll be willing to sit in the back..all cramped..in a space that I am obviously too big to fit into..no no, it's fine." Kagome always hated how he pulled off that act as an innocent angel.
Her mother gave her a cold stare. "Oh no, it's fine, Miroku. Just fine." Kagome said with an irritated tone. He smiled sarcastically and returned in his position. Kagome crossed her arms and sat Indian style in her seat.
"Okay then, now that everything's settled. Put your seatbelts on and we're off!" Her mother said with a cheery voice.
======================================================================================
Sango lay in her bed awake. 'Who could be moving into her old house?' She thought to herself. As she shifted to the side of her bed, she saw the picture of her and her best friend, Kikyo.
FLASHBACK
"Why'd you break up with him, Kikyo?!" an angry and fuming Sango yelled as she grabbed the arm of a girl.
"Because...forget it! You wouldn't understand, Sango!" the girl said pulling back her arm.
She was tall, with a pretty face. Her hair was long, black, and tied back. It had been raining, and the only sounds you heard were the pounding of the rain on the cement, the rattle of the lightning, and the screaming of the two girls.
"Why don't you let me be the judge of that?! What's gotten into you?! Lately you've been acting like this complete bitch! Tell me, Kikyo! What's wrong?!" Sango screamed.
Kikyo tried to run away, but tripped on one of the rocks. It was dark and very hard to see. Seeing her fall, Sango ran to her side.
"You...you.. wouldn't understand, Sango. I'm sorry. I just.. I had to.. I didn't want to hurt him.." Kikyo said with her black bangs covering her face.
"Kikyo...." Sango whispered while picking her up to her feet.
END OF FLASH BACK
Sango took the picture frame and put it in her drawer. She sat up on her bed and looked out of the window at the sold house.
"They'll be moving in tomorrow morning.." Sango said to herself. "I guess the nice neighbor thing to do would include a nice greeting.." she sighed. As she laid back into her bed, she tried closing her eyes.
'Ergh! I just can't sleep!' She got up and went downstairs.
As she reached the kitchen, she pulled out a steam pot. After she filled it with milk, she placed in on the stove. As Sango waited for her milk to get warm, she turned on the TV.
'I can't believe somebody is already moving into her house...it's been what? A year?! Too soon, too soon..' Sango thought as she flipped through the channels of the TV. When she heard footsteps coming downstairs, she stopped. 'Hmph, must be the brother.' she rolled her eyes.
"Sango? Is that you awake?" a tired voice called from the stairs.
"Uh huh.." Sango whispered.
"Why the hell are you awake at this time? Do you realize what time it is? Or are you just too dumb to tell time now?! Let's go through a review now...when the big hand is on–"
"I just couldn't sleep, okay? Gosh. If it's the TV that's keeping you up I'll just turn it down. Geeze." Sango interrupted.
"Feh." the voice called and footsteps were heard going back upstairs. When Sango heard a door close, the whistling of the steam pot came.
:: TOOOT ::
She got up, and mixed the warm milk with some chocolate syrup.
'Mmm..' She thought heavenly. Sango looked at her mug, and noticed that she had grabbed the one that Kikyo had given her for Christmas.
FLASHBACK
"Here, Sango! I know it's not much...but.." Kikyo said shyly as she gave Sango a gift box.
"Aww! I love it, Kikyo! Thank you so much!" Sango said in delight as she opened the gift box. She held up the mug. It was fairly big for a mug. It was all white, except for a picture of 'Mashimaro' on it. Under the picture, it said the word 'Best' on it.
"I'm glad you like it! You know how it says 'Best' on the bottom?" Kikyo asked. Sango nodded.
"Well, at home, I have the same one, but instead of the word it says 'Friends'!" Kikyo finished with a wide smile.
The two best friends hugged.
"We'll be best friends forever, right Sango?"
"Right! Best friends forever and ever and ever!" Sango smiled.
END OF FLASH BACK
Sango's grip on the mug tightened. She had finished her chocolate milk. There was silence downstairs, and Sango started to feel sleepy. She sat there for a few minutes. Soon, a single tear reached into the mug, and the girl started upstairs.
===============================================================
"Well, we're here!" Kagome's mom called out as she parked.
Kagome woke up startled, she had been sleeping throughout the entire trip. It was already daylight and Miroku was still snoring like a pig. Kagome laughed to herself as she looked at her cousin. His head was leaned back and his mouth was open. A string of drool rolled down his face. Kagome poked her sleeping cousin and he immediately shot up.
"Ahh! Wha?! Where?! Huh?!" he exclaimed. When Miroku turned to the back seat and saw a laughing Kagome he stuck out his tongue.
"KAGOME!!" Miroku yelped as he wiped the drool off his face.
"I couldn't help myself, Miroku. You were snoring as if there were no tomorrow!" Kagome laughed.
They both got out of the car, and followed her mom into the house.
"So this is...it?" Kagome asked as she looked around.
The outside was white with a red trim. It was pretty big, but all around simple. As much as Kagome hated to admit it, she thought the house was beautiful. The lawn was nicely cut and the backyard was amazing. She went upstairs to go claim a room, but as usual, Miroku beat her to it.
"How did you? But you were just? Ahh, forget it." Kagome said at a smiling Miroku.
She walked to the room across from his. 'Hmm, this is pretty nice' she thought to herself.
The room was wide with a sliding closet. There was a great view from the window. When she looked out, Kagome saw her mom struggle to carry all of their things they brought.
Moments later the moving truck came with the rest of their things.
"Miroku! Kagome! Help me with these things!" Kagome's mom called out from outside.
============================================================================
Sango woke up on the couch in her living room. The sun was shining bright on her face.
"About time you're awake! I was about to call the hospital because I thought you were dead." the voice of her brother was heard in the kitchen.
"What time is it?" Sango asked as she groaned.
"Feh. About 4." her brother replied.
"FOUR O' CLOCK?! In the evening?!" Sango asked, nearly falling off the couch.
"Did I stutter?! Feh. Why are you so jumpy anyhow? Don't tell me you're about to go stalk the new people that just moved into Kiky–" her brother paused.
"–--that new house a couple of blocks away." he resumed.
"I'm not going to stalk them, just going to give them a nice healthy greeting, that's all." Sango said calmly.
She went upstairs to take a shower. When she finally got out, she looked for something to wear. About an hour later, she was satisfied with what she picked.
"Geeze, Sango. Took you long enough to get ready just for a couple of lousy neighbor kids. If you hadn't gotten out any sooner, I'd be late for work. Sheesh." her brother started up and went upstairs.
Sango decided to bring a few treats for the new neighbors.
'Hmm, what would be a nice welcoming gift..Cupcakes, perhaps? Nah. Blah. I think I'll just bring some cookies, there's nothing else to eat in this house.'
Sango took a bag for Oreo's and was off to meet the neighbors.
