Teenage Affections
Author's Note: This is my first A/U fic and third Inuyasha fic. Basically, they're all fifteen and in high school and Kagome is a new girl in the school. Due to the fact I DON'T like Kikyo, may not be in this fic! Sorry! Please read and review... and please don't give me any bad reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Chapter 17
Kohaku sat on his sister's bed, watching as she paced back and forth, chewing on her nails and frowning as she seemed to fume and worry at the same time over her boyfriend's tardiness. She was muttering curse words under her breath and making out threats, but Kohaku knew she was worried about why he hadn't called and told her where he was yet. "Sango..." he began, but as soon as the phone rang, she shoved past him as she lept onto the bed and grabbed her phone.
"Miroku!? Oh, Koharu, hello." she said, calming down. Kohaku sat up, cringing a little as his sister moved. He listened as she talked to the young girl. Koharu was one of his classmates that he remebered had a crush on Miroku. He wondered why she would be calling here though... and how she got his number. Snago was silent for a while and seemed to pale. "I'll be right over, thank Koharu." she said and hung up, quickly scrambling off the bed and grabbing her coat.
"Sango, what's wrong?" Kohaku asked, running after her.
"Miroku was jumped after school and he's at Koharu's house. I've gotta see him. Stay here and you know the rules. I won't be long." she said. Kohaku nodded and watched as she left, wishing their dad was at home and not on a business trip. Letting out a sigh, Kohaku went down to the living room. The house had been so lonely lately with their dad always rushing off and Sango out with Miroku or Kagome. He could only wish his mother was still alive to keep him company. He sighed and looked at his video game.
"Sango and dad are never home any more... its not fair. he muttered. He had sat and played him game alone for a good fifteen minutes before someone began ringing his doorbell annoyingly. Sighing, Kohaku went and answered the door, looking expctantly up at the girl standing in front of him.
"So, you're Kohaku?" she said. The boy stared at her in obvious confusion and she smirked. "You're coming with me."
---------------------------------------------
"Look at you! Why aren't you in the hospital?" Miroku cringed as he listened helplessly to Sango yell at him, much like he expected his mother to do later that evening when he got home. Koharu was standing silently in the room door, watching shyly as the older girl screamed at the boy she had had a crush on since she was six. "Who did this to you and why?!"
"Sango, why don't you just-"
"MIROKU!" Both Miroku and Koharu turned and looked in shock as Inuyasha came storming into the room and looked at his best friend, Kagome tagging along. Inuyasha looked at his friend and scowled. "Naraku did this, didn't he?"
"I thouhgt you said you would stay away from him!" Said Sango and Miroku groaned, holding his head in his hands.
"Quit yelling at me!" The room went silent and Miroku sighed with relief. "Yes it was some of Naraku's people... but I don't know why. I was coming from a detention and Kageroumaru and some other bastards jumped me." Inuyasha frowned a bit.
"I thought Kageroumaru and his brother were in a whole league of their own?" he said. Miroku shrugged.
"If so, that wasn't the case today. Naraku's cousin, Kagura, was there too... watching."
"She hates Naraku though, why didn't she help?" asked Sango. Miroku shrugged as he closed his eyes.
"That's something that I think even SHE can't figure out." he answered. He then opened his eyes and looked at Inuyasha. "I need to get home before my mom goes insane. Help me will you." he said. Inuyasha nodded and began helping his companion off of the bed.
"Miroku-kun is hurt! He needs rest." The group turned and looked at the girl standing defiantly in the doorway. "Put him back in the bed now." she ordered. Miroku looked at the girl and smiled warmly, though Inuyasha seemed annoyed and the girls seemed confused.
"Koharu, I'm glad you're worried about me... but i've got to go. Thank you for your help." he said.
"But Miroku-kun... you could hurt yourself if you try going anywhere now." Koharu said, looking up at him with pleading eyes as the teens begna leaving the room. Miroku smiled and shook his head.
"I'll be fine. I'll have to find a way to reward you for your help later." he said and kissed her forehead before limping out the room with Inuyasha's help. Koharu let out an almost dreamy sigh as she said good bye to them.
-------------------------------------------
"Wish it wasn't so dark out." muttered Miroku and Inuyasha gave him a serious look. They had walked the girls home and of course couldn't have made it home before the street lights came on. Besides, it was winter. It got dark earlier during this time.
"You know Miroku, if you weren't such a gentleman, we could of been home." Inuyasha informed and Miroku grinned innocently at him.
"Sorry... I was just a little worried about if someone would try something with them while they tried to get home is all." he said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and his eyes narrowed suddenly, causing Miroku to look around when his friend glanced suspiciously over his shoulder. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I thought I heard something... Miroku, I think you're going to have to stay at my house tonight." he informed. Miroku opened his mouth to say something, but out of no where, Inuyasha grabbed him and put him over his shoulder, taking off running.
"What the hell!?" Miroku yelled in confusion.
-----------------------------------------
Sango checked her watch for the fifth time that hour and looked worriedly out the window and at a nearby clock. "Its almost ten... where's Kohaku?" She moved around in her seat by the phone in discomfort. If Kohaku was at Kagome's, someone would have called. If he was at Miroku's, someone would have called. Actually, no mater where he was at theis time, someone would have called. There was no note or anything when she had gotten home, so she couldn't help but worry. "What if he ran away from home?!" she thought and just as she was about to run out the room, the phone rang. "KOHAKU!?" There was a giggle heard on the other line and she frowned.
"Ah, Miss Taijiya. You have no idea how entertaining it is to hear you panic." Sango dropped back into her seat weakly.
"Who is this?" she asked weakly.
"You really don't need to know that." said the female voice and Sango's eyes narrowed. "Listen, I know you're good friends with Higurashi and she has something that I need."
"You know where Kohaku is, don't you?!"
"Maybe... Just get me the jewel or there may be more than one disappearence. Hows Houshi doing?"
"You bitch! Where's my little brother!?" Sangon screamed, but was only answered with a dail tone. She sat silently, the phone slipping out of her loose grip as she thought of what they could have done to her little brother. What was she suppose to do now? Sango shook her head and pulled her knees up to her chest and hugging them as she began crying. "Kohaku..."
ooc: sorry the chapters are getting so short. I'm going to try and make it all up though.
