Thank you reviewers!
HeadstrongHanyou- 0,o; Really? I try to make my fanfics original as possible.
MoonLightWolf-Yeah, really. I agree with you. I'm pretty much neutral.
Sango fan!-You'll see!
A/N: Go read my other new fic Juvie Court. Sengoku Manor should be updated in a while. Not that long. SanMir fans will get a kick outta this chapter. Don't worry KagInu fans, good things come in time. Anyhow, I wonder how Inuyasha and Shippou are doing on their vacation in the Bahamas? ::a T.V magically appears in front of her:: So Inu-chan, how're you doing? ::the T.V shows a pissed off hanyou and kitsune yelling profanitites at her:: IY: You wench!! You gave us illegal tickets and now we're in jail!!
A/N 2: About the school schedule in Japan, I heard they have school Mon-Fri and a couple hours on Sat. I don't know. I may be wrong, but I'll be doing that. And I'm not sure if they have Summer break so...I'll be evil and make them go to school in the summer! ::cackles evilly:: That sounded like a witch. But I'll be nice and give them two or three weeks of vacation.
A/N 3:Sorry for all the notes, but you know what? It's odd as how what curse words Inuyasha uses and he rarely every says fuck. I guess it's just in the fanfic world since all of us are truely poty-mouths deep inside.
Disclaimer: No I don't own it! And before I go on a lengthy discussion as to why I don't own it, go read the fic!

Charm
Chapter 2- Icecream Stands and Old Friends

"What is Miroku up to again?" Sango asked herself aloud, as she secretly followed her lecherous friend to an old mansion. Ivy covered the sides, keeping eyes from seeing what the original color of the house. 'Why is he coming to this old dump?'
She watched silently as the boy looked around for anyone who had followed him, he had not seen her. Seeing as no one was around, he scaled up the rod iron gates, carefully throwing his legs over the sharp pointers, and landed less than graceful on the ground. He recovered quickly and limped over to the right side of the house and slipped through a broken window.
Sango blinked, what the heck was the boy doing? Miroku got stranger and stranger over the years. At age twelve, he grew his hair out to chin length and placed it into a short ponytail. A year after that, he pierced two earrings in each ear. After a year of wondering, she finally asked him if he was gay. And of course he said no. Sango told him to prove it. How she regretted that.
He started having accidents with gripping onto her ass. At first she thought they were just accidents, but it became common soon after that! Even with other girls. A regular new hobby just completely changed her poor innocent little Miroku. Wait a sec! Sango flushed a bit at thinking 'her little Miroku'.
The guy was a lech, though a friend too. He flirted with the girls more than ever at this age. The newest addition to the boy was he now asked any pretty girl he managed to lay eyes on to bear his child. Sango shook her head sadly. There was no bringing the sweet little boy from childhood back, even though he was a blockhead, he was an intellegent straight-A student.
Miroku hopped back out of the window frame he slipped through earlier and climbed over the gates. Sango scrambled behind a mailbox. A few moments later she peered around. He was gone. She looked at her shirt and hands. There were grasstains from hiding in the ivy on the rod iron fence. After deciding it was safe she stood up decided to go home and take a nice steamy shower. All that sneaking around and she still found out nothing!

"Kagome! Wake up!"
"Yeah, wake up Nee-chan!"
"Ehh...Souta? Kikyou? Lemme sleep..." Kagome grumbled drowsily. She pulled her pillow over her head to block out their voices.
Kikyou sighed, "Then we'll just have to go get icecream without you, since its hotter than a stove outside." She winked mischieviously at Souta who returned it.
Kagome blinked underneath the pillow while Souta announced, "And we'll go to that 'All You Can Eat Oden!' thing! I can't wait!"
That got her up, "Oden?! Where?"
Her siblings gave her sly mischievious smiles, "Got'cha."
She gave them a fish-eyed glare and growled, "Don't trick me like that! You know I'd do anything for oden!"
Kikyou rolled her eyes, "It was your idea to go get some icecream after I got done with my errand, and well now, I'm back."
Kagome sniffed, "But I was having a good dream too..."
"C'mon sis! I want icecream!" Souta cried, hopping on her bedspread.
"All right, all right!" Kagome threw her hands up in defeat. Souta whooped, bounced around on the bed, and cried out happily, "Icecream! Icecream!"
"Is the icecream place still there?"
Kikyou nodded, "The icecream stand you mentioned is still there. I went there often when I was a child too."
'This would be a good chance to see Sango-chan and Miroku-kun,' Kagome thought following her excited brother and smiling step-sister out of her room.
"Souta?" the young bouncing boy looked up at his sister, "Do you know if Sango-chan and Miroku-kun still live around here?"
Souta sat down and tied his shoes as he spoke, "Yup, Sango-san's still here, she's my baby-sitter. And Miroku-sama..." he scratched his head, "He comes around every now and then to help Sango baby-sit me."
"Sama? Why do you call him that? Surely he doesn't want to you to be so formal," Kagome said slipping on a pair of sandals.
Souta gasped, "Nee-chan! Didn't you know?" Kagome looked clueless, "He became the freshman president. And he walks us little kids across the street." Souta's eyes sparkled with adoration.
Kagome blinked and she and Kikyou shared a glance that said, "A new role model?"
The little boy smiled cheerfully, "Well...Are we goin' yet?"
Kagome patted him on the head, "I'm going to call Sango-chan and Miroku-kun first? 'Kay?"
The boy nodded and bounced off into the kitchen to play with Buyo, Kikyou following him.
"I wonder if I still remember their phone numbers," Kagome said aloud dialing what she remembered.

"Moshi, moshi. Kinomo Sango speaking, " Sango answered the phone after she got home. Her mother was giving her a glare clearly saying she'd better clean up herself, as she was spotted colorful with grasstains and dirtstains of all colors.
"Hi Sango-chan! It's Higurashi Kagome!" the other voice said gleefully.
Sango blinked, "Kagome-chan...?" Her mother nodded and walked off to wash some dishes in the kitchen.
"Yeah, Sango-chan! I moved back to the shrine yesterday! I'm so glad I'm back now!" her voice said.
"That's great! I'm so happy you're back! Even the lech will be happy." Sango replied.
"Pardon?" Kagome's voice sounded clueless.
"Um...oh! Miroku will be happy to see you too!" Sango said correcting herself, "There's something you have to know about Miroku. He's not the same good little guy he once was."
"I think you just called him a lech a second ago."
"Yeah."
"Don't worry about it. All boys go through a stage of perversion in life. It just shows Miroku-kun's growing up."
Sango sweatdropped, "But this ammount of perversion is not normal! I know it!"
"Hmm...how bad is it?"
"You'll have to see his appearance for the first part. He grabs my ass, and other girls'. He flirts with me, and others. He asks me to bear his child, and others. He's just so...grr! Infuriating!"
"It seems he likes you."
"No, he doesn't. If he liked me, then he wouldn't be chasing every female two-legged mammal with boobs."
"Well, I'll just have to see it to believe it. And Sango-chan?"
"Hn?"
"It sounds like you like him as well."
"Wha? You can't be thinking straight if you thought that?" Sango said smacking herself in the head, her face heating up beyond belief. Her and Miroku? Like that was a possiblity. An image of her in a rocking chair as an old lady with an old man who was Miroku gripped her old buttocks. The old woman pulled out a mallet and slammed it over her lech husband's head. Sango smacked her head against the wall earning her the weirded-out looks from her family.
"Heehee! Anyways, I was calling to see if you and Miroku-kun wanted to go meet me at the old icecream stand." Kagome said grinning like a possum on the other line. It was obvious that Sango liked her best friend and probably didn't want to admit it out loud. Five years was enough for something to go on between the two. And now they needed a little push in the right direction. Looks like matchmaker Kagome was going to work with Fate.
"Sure, I'll come. I'll call Miroku too. I have to take a shower first though, so I may be a few minutes late."
"Okay, whatever you need. I'll see you there, bye!"

"Gosh...that guy and that brat better be happy I'm giving them food," Miroku said stomping away from the old mansion. Just because he got there late, the guy got so pissed off he threatened to kill him next time he was late. The kid wasn't that good to him either. And he couldn't exactly threaten he'd expose them either...The only thing he could do was not be late.
He looked up at the house he was standing by. Sango's house. Looking up at her window he saw nothing. Maybe she was in the bathroom? It was the room right next to her's on the second floor. A sillouette of who could be only known as Sango cut through the steam covered window. He drooled, it looked like she was about to take a shower too.
Miroku climbed the tree to a branch even with the window. He watched her for a good five minutes, about choking in the puddle of saliva that pooled in his mouth when she turned around.
Sango's hair on the back of her neck stood, though wet. She had a strange feeling someone was there. But she'd always had this strange feeling whenever she took a shower that some perv was watching her. Wrapping the towel around herself tightly, she wiped a circle of steam off the window to see...A HUMONGUSLY LARGE LECHY BIRD!! Or in other words, Miroku.
She opened the window, "Miroku?! What the hell are you doing there?!!"
Miroku looked down at a bird that landed a branch below him, "Hmm...a red breasted swallow. Interesting! I've been looking for these birds!" Miroku exclaimed innocently.
"Don't play innocent with me, Mister!! You were not looking at that damn bird!!" Sango yelled at him. She put her hands on her hips, and the towel lowered just a bit to see some cleavage. And Miroku had a hard time not looking at her eyes.
"Miroku. My face is up here not down there!!" Sango bent down to grab a couple bottles of shampoo.
Miroku blinked innocently, wondering what she was going to do with those bottles, "I swear to Kami I wasn't peeping on you!"
"I didn't know that you sweared to Kami. I thought it was blaspheme, you little horny pig!!" And with that said she started chucking the bottles and bars of soap, whatever she found at the boy.
"Hey! That's not very-hey! Sango! You use Herbal Essences (Don't own that either)?" Miroku asked after a bottle of Vanilla Herbal Essence Shampoo smacked him square in the face.
Sango just growled and tossed a bar of soap at him.
"Ouch!! Why do you have to throw so hard?" he looked behind the enraged girl and spotted something very interesting, "Sango...? I didn't know you wore Victoria's Secret thongs (Don't own VS!)!"
Sango's eyes widened and she became so red, it wouldn't be a surprise if the roots of her hair became red too, "Y-you ASS!!" She chucked more stuff at him. The guy did every single thing to annoy her.
He simply dodged them, "No my dear Sango, I am not an ass. But I do have one!"
Sango threw her handy dandy cosmetics kit at the guy, knocking him out of the tree. He crashed into the bushes, "Oh Kami... Miroku?! Are you okay?!"
"Erm...yes?!" Miroku said slumping against the trunk of the tree.
"Maybe I overdid it," Sango admitted, changing and a few moments later running outside to see if Miroku broke anything. She couldn't stay angry at him for too long. They were friends, still.
"Miroku...you didn't break anything did you?" Miroku looked up at her and grinned sheepishly, "You know...Kagome-chan came back from the U.S. She wants us to meet her at the old icecream place. You want to go?"
"Sure," after making sure he wasn't seriously injured and picked up all the shampoo and soaps the two went to go meet Kagome.

"Souta wait up!" Kagome and Kikyou chased after the younger brother to the icecream place. Kikyou and Souta walked a quicker pace while she hung behind, pondering. Kagome wondered what Sango and Miroku looked like now. Would she even recognize them.
"Well hello there, pretty lady!" she felt a slight squeeze on her buttocks. She blinked madly and shuddered as she turned around. It was a young guy around her age with a short ponytail and earrings.
She glared at him, "Who the hell are you?! And what made you think you could just touch my ass like that?!"
The man grinned widely, "Ah, Haruka-chan. Don't be like that! Of course you know me, Miroku."
"Now wait here just a second! I am not this Haruka!" she stopped when she realized the young man said his name was Miroku, "Miroku-kun?! Your hair?! Your ears?! They have earrings! Are you in a gang or something?"
"MIROKU!!! What did I tell you about doing that!! I told you that's rude just a couple minutes ago! And what do you do? You grab the nearest woman's ass!" a young woman around her age stomped towards the two. Her hair was in a high ponytail with a couple short locks framing the sides of her face. She turned to Kagome, "I appologize for my friend's touchiness." She nudged Miroku with an elbow, "Appologize!"
"Oh. Sorry Kagome-chan! Sango here was telling me about not doing that...which I just did." Miroku said cheerfully watching the surprise on the two girls' faces.
"You guys!! I missed you so much!" Kagome squealed throwing her arms around her two friends. And Miroku being the perv he is stood there enjoying it.
"So did we!!" Sango said blissfully.
"Kagome? What's the hold up?" the trio saw Kikyou and Souta strolling over to them with icecreams in hand.
"Yah! Miroku-sama's here!" Souta whooped clapping Miroku's hand with his own sticky fingers. Kagome and Kikyou gave Sango a questioning look. She shrugged.
Miroku glanced at Kagome and Kikyou, thinking he was seeing double vision, "Whoa, when did there become two of you Kagome-chan?"
"Eh? This is Kikyou, my step-sister," Kagome said gesturing to Kikyou.
"Really? It looks like you could be twins!" Sango said.
Miroku bent down on one knee in front of Kikyou, grabbing her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss. And I must request of you, will you bear my-"
THWACK!!
Sango lifted her hand off of Miroku's head, he rubbed his head, "Child?"
Kikyou and Kagome blinked, as did Souta, "Uh...You're a kid. And I already have a boyfriend." (Let's just say Kikyou has a boyfriend, but he's not going to be in the story that often.)
Miroku's face fell and he went to go sulk by the icecream clerk.
Kagome turned to Souta, "Miroku-kun is not your role model. Understood?"
Souta blinked incredously, "B-but Miroku-sama's so cool!"
Kikyou and Sango sweatdropped, the last thing they needed was another Miroku running around.
Kagome shook her head, "You can find someone better than that." Souta seemed to worship the guy and he didn't need to pick up his bad habits.
After buying their icecream, they decided to sit in the shade of a tree. They talked about how much had changed (not Miroku), the U.S., etc. And a few comments about Miroku's new appearance.
"So...when do you start school again?" Sango asked leaning up against a tree.
Kagome answered, "I think on the next school day. That would be next Monday, right?"
Sango nodded and whispered quietly for only Kagome to hear, "I need to talk to you about something. It's about Miroku."
Kagome suddenly had mischievious cat-eyes, "Are you ready to confess your love for him?"
Sango turned so red, you'd think she had heat stroke, "No! Shh! It's odd. After school, every day, he goes to the old mansion. You know...the one that all the old people say that's haunted?"
Kagome nodded and looked at the other three who were talking about some random thing cheerfully, "That old mansion? Why?"
Sango went on whispering, "I dunno. I followed him after school, carefully avoiding being caught. He just climbed over that rusty old fence and entered the house through one of those broken windows. It's odd..."
"So what are you going to do?"
Sango suddenly had a grin on her face, "Follow him again, of course."
Kagome shook her head, Sango still had the tomboyish mystery solving streak, "Do you think it's a good idea? I mean, it might just come with his lechiness."
"I'm sure it isn't. So on Monday afternoon, we'll follow him."
