Response to Soli-chan: Thanks - Yea, I GENERALLY refer to Kirara as female, but hey, I dunno X.x; Think I will stick to female now, though. LMAO! Yea, your right, dog-ears are better. Don't worry... I'm not tossing the ears away just ears yet XD! Mwuahahahahaha...

Response to Izu: Yea... I think I'm gonna say Kirara is female from now on... Some of my friends that I rp with have referred to her as male... So... But, thanks =D!

Disclaimer: Yep.

Pizza!

It had taken them 12 minutes to get to the pizza place. Well, 12 minutes and 55 seconds to be more exact. It usually took them a little longer, about 15 minutes, to get there... But then again, this time, they had raced.

Inuyasha had proposed the idea, and before anyone could respond, he was already WAY ahead of them. Inuyasha had some weird thing for speed. He was INCREDIBLY fast.

Sango had soon taken off after him, not way too far behind, but poor Kagome was losing badly. Shortly after, she yelled for them to stop, and stood there, panting.

So Inuyasha and Sango had gone back. The first thing Kagome said to them was on the issues of heels, which she was wearing, and how hard it was to run in them. Sango looked at the sky for a moment, one thought running through her head. Then why run? Inuyasha, however, had offered Kagome a ride on his back, which she, o-so-greatly accepted.

Ouch.

That's where one of those pangs of want would shoot through Sango, and the 'Want' sign would pop up in her head. The tomboy shook it off, instead grinning, and giggling about, now, Inuyasha's complain of the heels. He said they were digging to far into his sides.

-------

"We'll just have a plain cheese."

Kagome said to a very confused, and worried-looking cashier.

Inuyasha, Sango, and Kagome had been arguing over pizza for the last 20 minutes, wasting time sure, but they could never get this procedure down right. Every time they went for pizza it was the same thing.

They'd start out with cheese, yea, that's okay, but then they'd start trying to add more and more toppings, until they had gotten into a fight over which toppings to have. Then it just slunk back down to square one. Cheese.

The poor cashier, who had been taking their order, had punched in, and then erased, dozens of numbers into the small cashier. Why am I a cashier again? He thought grimly to himself. I could have worked at a nice pet store, or maybe even a dry cleaner's, but no. A cashier I had to be.

"That... All?"

He mumbled nervously, scarred he was going to get the order slapped back in his face.

"Umm-hmm"

An all too cheery Kagome responded.

"Okay..."

The cashier responded, unsurely,

"That will be-"

Before he had time to finish, Kagome shoved Inuyasha in front of her, beginning to move to her seat along with Sango.

"Oh-no, He's paying..."

She called back over her shoulder.

"Tell him..."

-------

Once they were seated, with their pizza, paid for by Inuyasha (to his dislike, may I add), and their drinks, they began chatting like they always did, childish and carefree.

That's when Sango decided to ask 'The Question.'

What was 'The Question', you ask?

The question was, (aimed towards Inuyasha, Duh) 'What's up with your name?' Or some form of those five words.

Kagome had asked that question after she had been dating Inuyasha for a while, and Sango had asked shortly after. And so from there-forth on, they had just asked him 'The Question' to tick him off. Which worked. Every time.

"So Inuyasha...?"

Sango started, an all too familiar smirk on that childish face of hers.

"Yea?"

He responded, his mouthful of pizza.

"Well..."

She let the word roll out on her tongue, and Inuyasha knew what was coming,

"N-" "What's up with your name?"

Inuyasha growled in annoyance. They had asked him that every possible opportunity they had gotten. What was wrong with them?

Kagome, however, spit out her soda, breaking into a fit of giggles, that she couldn't control, between gasps, however, she said,

"Come" Giggle "on." Giggle "Just" Giggle "tell" Giggle "us!" Laugh.

Sango almost starting laughing but held it in, and bit her bottom lip, waiting to see if the 15 year-old would answer her question.

"Yea, come on Inuyasha, it won't kill you..."

Sango put in, eyeing him like a sly cat. Inuyasha huffed, before saying, just to get them to shut-up.

"I ALREADY told you, but I'm 'supposedly' related to a half-demon from Feudal Japan, with the name Inuyasha! Okay! It had to do with family pride or something..."

He spat out, mumbling under his breath, 'Screw stupid family pride'... Or something along that line.

Sango smiled, spreading her arms out in a 'I told you so gesture.'

"Was that too hard?"

She asked, grinning, eyes laughing at the annoyed face of her friend. She wasn't sure what made him so upset, when they asked the question, but the way he responded was always comical.

Sango sighed, grinning happily.

Soon the pizza was finished, and the group of 3 was cleaning up their table, preparing to leave. Sango took a final sip of her soda, before going to toss it away, a gleeful look on her face, like she didn't have a problem in the world. She then tucked one hand inside her pocket, almost reaching the trashcan, when something caught her eye. A gleam. A green gleam, coming from the window. She jerked her head in the window's direction and gasped, dropping her soda, the remains spilling to the floor in a watery mess.

There was the cat from before. And it was staring right at her.
