AN: Hello everyone! Another chapter... This one should be fairly amusing.
Keep in mind that a lot of the experiences in this story are based on
actual events. The running through traffic happened to one of the teachers
at our school. Hehe.
Sugarsprite: Yeah, but you should have heard me in Paris. I was reciting that every time we got on the metro. In fact, I still have some of my tickets and the little map.
Princess-Meru: It's based on the trip I took, but exaggerated.
Myst Lady: No, but I've been told to see French kiss. Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Yuyarama-kya and waterlilly216: Thank you! I'm doing my best to update. I'm glad you like it.
Ria: I wish you could update too. And life's going to get so much better with our supreme court papers. Arg.
Exchange Student Inu-yasha Chapter Three: Arch de Triumph
The small group climbed out of the metro stairs, and beheld the site before them
"Wow. That's a big-ass arch."
"No shit Sherlock." Kagome stated, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Inu-yasha scowled.
"It's kinda warm out here. We're gonna climb a tower in this heat?" Miroku asked, looking up at the gigantic landmark in front of them. Kagome nodded.
"So how do we get to the arch, anyways?" Inu-yasha asked, observing the twelve streets that intersected all around the arch. None of the cars seemed to be paying any attention at all to the lanes, and it was all basically chaos.
"The French government hasn't really gotten to building anything official." Kagome lied through her teeth, smiling just a little. "You're gonna have to make a run for it."
"What? We can't cross that." Inu-yasha exclaimed.
"Oh, so you're afraid?"
"NO! It's just... a lot of cars."
"Well get going. We'll follow you." Sango and Kagome burst out laughing as the two boys started to run across the street.
"You are... mph... too cruel." Sango giggled.
"Come on. Let's take the underground passageway." Kagome pulled her friend into the tunnel that would take them safely to the arch de Triumph.
~*~*~AT THE ARCH DE TRUIMPH~*~*~
Miroku and Inu-yasha sat in front of the Arch de Triumph, both wearing the expressions of people who had narrowly escaped death. In fact, both of them had been brushed by cars multiple times. Inu-yasha was in fetal position.
"So many cars..." Inu-yasha whispered, rocking back and forth. Though he came from Boston, the city with possibly the worst roads in the world, he had never seen anything like that before. Miroku was laughing hysterically.
At that moment, Sango and Kagome emerged from a tunnel that the boys had not previously noticed.
"So, I see both of you are still alive. Huh. Too bad." Kagome smiled. Inu-yasha's eyes went wide and then narrowed in anger.
"How did you get here?" He demanded.
"That's our little secret." Sango responded, grinning like a cat. Inu- yasha's eye twitched.
"Do you mean to tell me that there's a safe way to cross that street?" His voice was dangerously low. Miroku has stopped laughing. Both of them are stared at the passageway that the girls had come out of, watching a group of tourist come out.
"You're playing a dangerous little game. What would you have told our parents if we had been run over by a car?" Miroku asked.
"That you had accidentally ran into traffic." Kagome smiled. A vein had popped on Inu-yasha's forehead.
"You psychotic bitch! Do you realize that we could have been run over?" Inu-yasha screamed at Kagome. She just rolled her eyes.
"Oh no. I'm not that lucky, am I?" She finished, and walked towards the Arch de Triumph, leaving a fuming Inu-yasha in her wake. Miroku and Sango just looked at each other.
"Am I the only one that's sensing that they're meant to be together?" Sango asked. Miroku grinned.
"I think they're already married and just not telling us." Sango giggled. However, she still stayed a good three feet away from the boy.
"I heard that." Inu-yasha snarled, still staring after Kagome, who turned around and beckoned back to the rest of them to come after her. Miroku and Sango went, followed by Inu-yasha who still looked furious.
Soon enough they found themselves ascending the stairs. Though it had been steaming outside the arch, it was five times worse inside of the building. The extreme lack of space didn't help much either.
Sango found herself staring down at the steps. Slowly one step blended into another and she found her eyes closing. It was so hot and the world was spinning....
Miroku was a little surprised when Sango fell backwards into his chest. As he shook her shoulder he got no response. Inu-yasha and Kagome where continuing up the stairs. He looked down at the girl and back up at the back of Inu-yasha's receding head. If he told them that Sango had passed out, Kagome would probably make Inu-yasha carry her.
Looking down, he realized that she was really cute when she was sleeping. Cuter, even, than when she was blushing or when she was mad at him. He shrugged and swept her into his arms bridal style. The simple solution to this problem was that he wouldn't tell them. Even if they did kill him at the top, it would be worth it.
His hands didn't even wander. Groping a sleeping girl was bellow. Besides, it was only fun when they would hit back. Miroku grinned.
~*~*~ AT THE TOP~*~*~
"What the hell is wrong with you, Inu-yasha?" Kagome asked, staring at the stubborn boy who was now curled up in fetal position in the middle of the tower.
"Nothing. I just don't fell great, okay?"
"I knew you were afraid of heights."
"I am not!"
"Then go to the edge."
Very carefully, as if he was afraid that the whole tower would crumble under his feet, Inu-yasha got up and walked out to the edge. His face when ghostly white. He stood there for a few moments, hands clutching the railing so hard that his knuckles were white.
"There." His said, his voice as taught as a violin string. "Are you happy?"
"Fine." Kagome sighed. Inu-yasha slunk back to his spot in the middle of the floor.
"Where are Miroku and Sango, anyways?" Inu-yasha states, staring at the ground in front of him.
"They must still be walking up."
~*~*~ AT THE TOP OF THE STAIR WELL~*~*~
Sango awoke to her face nestled into a chest. It happened to be a very muscular chest, but nevertheless, not a very nice way to wake up. Her eyes widened as she looked up and realized whose arms she was in.
"Miroku!" She screamed, practically jumping out of his grip. He just grinned. "What the hell do you think that you're doing?"
"I was just carrying you up. You fainted, and I didn't know how to wake you."
At the top of the tower, Inu-yasha and Kagome heard Sango's cries. Both of them jumped up and rapidly started descending stairs.
Kagome stumbled onto them first. "What happened?" She panted.
"He was carrying me!" Sango exclaims, looking aghast.
"Why?" Inu-yasha asked.
"She fainted." Miroku said. "I felt it was my duty to carry her up the stairs."
"Yeah, but..." Sango stuttered, becoming increasingly aware of how pink her face must be. "You're you!"
"Did you wake up and feel his hands anywhere they shouldn't be?" Kagome asked, glaring at Miroku. He put on his innocent look, and this time its truthful. Sango thought back to when she awoke, and realized with shock that his hands had been behind her back and underneath her knees.
"Well, no..." Sango starts.
"Then why are you freaking out? It sounds like all Miroku did was help you out." Inu-yasha objects.
"I hate to agree with him but it doesn't really sound like Miroku did anything wrong." Kagome admits.
"But... he's..." Sango stumble over her words. Her face is crimson. Kagome leans into her and whispers in her ear.
"Cute and seemingly a nice guy despite the fact he's a pervert? And you like him?" Kagome whispers.
"Yeah..." Sango sighs, then her eyes light up with realization. "I mean no! What the hell are you talking about?" Kagome laughs. Inu-yasha, with his oddly good hearing, picks up this conversation and smiles a little.
"Come on. Lets go down. We've still got a lot to do. "Kagome says, walking down the first few steps. The rest of them follow, Sango pondering what Kagome said, and whether there was any truth to it.
A nagging little voice inside of her said there was.
