She'll Eat You Alive
Chapter One: Hors d'oeuvres
"Well, I think at this point, it's safe to say the situation truly can't be any worse," sighed an
extremely physically and emotionally drained Miroku.
Head in hands, his dragon tail had long since escaped its bindings. The formerly polished
and pressed black tuxedo was now in disarray complete with cummerbund loose, bow tie
hanging limp around his neck, and a mish mash of stains covering the ensemble. There was also
noticeable damage to Miroku himself. His face bore the fresh marks of numerous slaps, a
scratch across his cheek from well-manicured nails, and a bruise on his jaw from a well-placed
kick.
"Dude, shut the hell up! You never wanna challenge the Irony Gods, cause they'll make the
'situation' get much worse," replied an equally exhausted dog-demon.
Miroku's comrade-at-arms and long-time friend, Inuyasha, was also disheveled in
appearance but lacking in any type of bodily abuse. His long, silver hair was tied in a loose
ponytail at the base of his skull with locks of hair spilling out as evidence of the recent unsettling
events. Miroku shrugged in resignation but thought to himself that Inuyasha would know all
about ironic mishaps. The situation was definitely a bleak one at best.
Saturday, one week ago:"I can't believe you actually talked me into this," Sango sighed in utter defeat as she and her
"pal" were on their way to the Plaza entrance.
Dressed in a backless deep lavender gown, wearing very uncomfortable three inch heels, and
enduring pins poking her head that kept the bulk of her mahogany hair swept up in a becoming,
but painful style, it was all she could do to keep from smacking Kagome upside her head with
the cutesy- little-matching, lavender sequined handbag she carried.
"Mou, Sango-chan. I didn't want to come to this thing alone! And, anyway, you're gonna
have fun, I promise!"
Sango gave her a look that spoke otherwise.
Kagome grinned half-heartedly, "I mean, there are so many girls that are signed up for this,
you won't be singled out. And you look great!"
This is working out so well! Kagome's inner thoughts rang out.
"Dammit!" Sango cursed as she tripped for the umpteenth time. "I thought this outrageous-
I-want-everyone-to-think-I'm-J-Lo-slit-up-to-my- hip gown was supposed to help in the
normal walking habits of the homo sapien, not hinder me further!"
Kagome sighed. Well, at least she likes the manicure.
As soon as Kagome learned about this occasion from Bishounen magazine eight weeks
earlier, she knew that Sango had to attend. So she simply sent in a forged application for Sango
along with her own. She couldn't let Sango come alone and ruin everything Kagome was
planning to happen. Kagome just felt in her heart that this was the trip that would change their
lives forever, and she was bound to keep it in that life-changing direction.
First was the whole fabrication of Sango's interests, no problem. The girl liked sports, cats,
rock music, and had a secret love for Saturday morning cartoons. This meant her interests were
exercise, dancing, singing, boy bands, and cuisine cooking on the application Kagome filled out
for her. Though Kagome somewhat hated doing it, she just had to get her best friend a date.
This seemed a shining opportunity.
Second came the breaking of the news and subsequent preparation for the big event. After
the initial shock, screaming fits, and threats, Kagome knew she had her interest. If only for the
little fib about this being a tag-along with Kagome to keep her company trip because Sango
can't know this is for her. Well, Sango reluctantly agreed after Kagome promised to buy her a
new surf board and wet suit.........yeesh.
The preparations were easy, all she had to do was get Sango to wear the dress and shoes
and let Kagome do her hair, nails, and makeup. Kagome, herself, finally decided on donning the
emerald green, spaghetti strap, satin dress that had matching stiletto heels and clutch. It was
going to be an unforgettable adventure.
Author's Note: Hiya! This is my very first Fanfic ever! I hope it looks promising. I have most of the story in my head already, but I need to put in down in words! I hope you enjoyed reading this little snippet of a chapter. Let me know what you think and what you feel could be improved. I'm open to suggestions and will gladly credit anyone else's idea. Obviously this is going to be a Sango/Miroku focus. See you later!
