Chapter One-School's Over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last bell of the school day, and school year,
finally rang.
"Oh my god, Sango! I can't wait until next week! Miroku's finally coming back!" Kagome shouted out happily.
"It's not like you haven't seen him," Sango grumbled. This is the only topic where she definitely will not agree with her best friend. Miroku may be Kagome's older brother, but that doesn't make him less of a lecher.
***Flashback***
12 year-old Sango followed her friend, Kagome, up the steps of the Higurashi Shrine. Kagome opened the front door and walked in. Sango followed her friend. However, she soon found her hands in those of a "stranger."
"Oh beauteous maiden, tell me thy name."
"Uh...I'm Sango, a friend of Kagome's."
"I see. My sister certainly has good choice in friends."
Sango blinked, feeling her face heat up from embarrassment. However, that soon turned to anger as Miroku's hand wandered...um...
In the blink of an eye, Miroku had been kicked out of his own house, with a glaring and fuming Sango guarding the door.
***End Flashback***
"Yeah, but we've only seen him for a few days every year since he went off to a school in Kyoto," Kagome replied
"Uh-huh."
"What's wrong Sango? Aren't you happy for me?" Kagome asked, not understanding her friend's "mood."
"Sure...why wouldn't I be," Sango replied, in a fake cheerful tone, before adding to herself, "except for the lecherous brother part..."
"Did you say something?" Kagome asked.
"No...no...nothing at all," Sango replied.
"Oh...didn't you say a cousin of yours was coming over for the summer? Maybe the both of you can stay over at my house," Kagome suggested cheerfully.
"Yeah...maybe..." Well, at least her cousin wasn't a lecher. Come to think of it, he'd probably help her get away from Miroku's wandering hand or toss Kagome's brother out the window if she asked him to. "Sure. I'll tell Mom."
"'K then. See you tomorrow! Miroku will probably get here around 10."
"Well, I'll wait for my cousin. He'll probably arrive around 1, so, you know, I'll be a bit late," Sango lied. She knew that her cousin, Inu-Yasha, had said that he'd arrive around 10, but hey, she didn't see any harm in giving herself an extra 3 hours to "show him around."
"'K then, we'll wait for you guys! Ja ne!" Kagome waved and set off for the Higurashi Shrine.

"Come on Inu-Yasha! Wake up!" Miroku shouted.
"WHAT?!" was the aggravated response from the bedroom.
"We have to go!" Miroku repeated himself for the 40th time.
"Correction--you have to go and I have to sleep," Inu-Yasha muttered.
"We won't make it to Tokyo at this rate," Miroku whined.
"I agree, so you'd better get a move on," Inu-Yasha replied.
"UGHHHHH!!!!!!" Miroku was looking for ways to wake up his sleepy roommate. Let's see...what have he not tried. Pillows don't work...loud noises work--but only for 2 seconds (yes, being the pathetic roommate he was, he had counted)...pots and pans just glance off the hanyou's head.
"Kami! Is there anything that'll wake him up?" Miroku racked his brain for things. OK, so, he's tried all the things Inu-Yasha didn't like...what does Inu-Yasha like? Ramen! That's it! "Inu-Yasha, I promise I'll pay for all the ramen you want during this trip." Sure enough, Inu-Yasha's head jerked up.
"Now that's more like it! Why didn't you just say that before? Would've saved us a lot more time you know," he said, getting dressed in lightning speed. "Now, we're gonna be late, you idiot!"
Miroku sweatdropped. Now, he's feeling really sorry for himself. H's just been cheated big by his best friend and will have to suffer Inu-Yasha's complaints through the whole journey.
"Why did I ever bother to bring him along?" Miroku asked himself.
"Because I had to pay for the car as well," Inu-Yasha replied.
"Oh yeah...that was why...no wonder. Nobody in their right mind, without some reason, would bring Inu-Yasha on a trip," he muttered.
"Heard that!" Inu-Yasha shouted back at Miroku. "Better get the bags!"
"What? I did--" Miroku looked around and found that, somehow, by miracle (or hanyou), his bags had been transferred from the trunk of the car onto the floor, in a very messy position that suggested their being thrown through the apartment window in rage. "Well, no hard enough to guess who..."
Miroku grimaced as he began dragging his stuff back to the car.
*********************************************
"So...remind me again why we are meeting your family?" Inu-Yasha asked. He had only found out about the "visit" halfway down the road.
"Well, it is my family," Miroku replied.
"Never mind...let me rephrase it...why am I meeting your family."
"Cause I told my mom about you and she wants to get to know you. Maybe you can even stay around at my place for the summer."
"No thanks, I'm staying at my cousin's place."
"What's your cousin's name? I believe it was a she, right?" Miroku asked, suddenly more interested in the information Inu-Yasha had to offer than in keeping his thoughts on the boring old road.
"Stay away pervert! You're not touching her," Inu-Yasha hissed.
"I'll introduce you to my sister," Miroku offered. Of course, if Inu-Yasha and Kagome gets to close, he'll always be there to stop them.
"You're disgusting. Women never held the same interest for me, as for you," Inu-Yasha replied.
"You can always learn," Miroku said, smiling, as he pulled over to a nearby gas station.
"What are you doing?" Inu-Yasha asked.
"Teaching you, my friend," Miroku replied. Before Inu-Yasha could stop him, Miroku had already jumped out of the car and started flirting with a girl. Inu-Yasha sighed and sat back. Sure enough, within 5 seconds, he heard a familiar "HENTAI!" WHAM! BAM! He waited for the coast to clear then pulled Miroku back into the car.
"So...how about that deal?" Miroku asked hopefully. Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes and clenched his fist.
WHAM! BAM! "HENTAI!!!!!!!"
"I'll take that for a no," Miroku managed to whisper before passing out.
