*~*~*
Sango took a mental break from doing her geometry to think about the girl sitting next to her. As a sophomore, Kagome Higurashi was the most popular girl in school. And she had talked to Sango and been completely nice- the popularity was explained. Sango even felt compelled to ask Kagome over sometime, and she had just met her. It was strange- Sango usually liked being alone. But this Kagome girl- they had clicked instantly. She wondered briefly if Kagome "clicked" that way with everyone, and if she would be just another face to say hi to in the hallway. But Kagome was too nice for that. And she would certainly make a better friend than Inuyasha did.
As class ended, Kagome proved her true colors.
"Sango- want to hang out sometime? I've got a game on Friday, but afterwards would you like to go to a movie with me?" Kagome asked, smiling at Sango. Sango froze in disbelief and fear- she hated big crowds, especially ones she didn't know.
"Friday I've got fencing try-outs." She said, her head swirling a bit. Noticing the look on Kagome's face, she hastily continued, "But I'd love to do something another time. Are you cheerleading on Saturday?" Kagome's face instantly brightened.
"No! Meiji cancelled the game, so I'm free. I'll call you about plans tonight, but I think we're going to be late. Gotta run!" with a wave and a genuine smile, she was gone. Inuyasha, who had been watching this whole scene, crossed his arms.
"You're selling out, you traitor," he accused his best friend. Sango rolled her eyes.
"She's a nice girl, Inuyasha. You should really get to know her better before you judge her as a cheerleader." She walked out of the classroom and Inuyasha followed.
"Sango, she's POPULAR." Inuyasha sneered. Sango turned to him, frowning.
"I don't judge people by popularity, Inuyasha. I judge by character, and Kagome's a sweet girl. If you're going to get stuck on her popularity, you're just as bad as all those kids who judge you." Inuyasha stopped and Sango kept walking. The bell rang, but Sango didn't hurry. The next class was art, and the art teacher was never on time- he usually showed up halfway after the class was supposed to start. On the way down to the basement level, Sango passed the school pervert- Miroku. As usual, the senior was surrounded by at least five girls, and was enjoying himself highly.
Miroku, for some reason, had always given unwanted attention to Sango. Today was no exception.
"Sexy," he grinned magnificently at her. That was what he called her- she doubted he actually knew her name. Sango ignored him (though she was blushing) and kept walking, but she heard one of Miroku's groupies say something.
"Come on, Miroku-kun, she's a sophomore. Not to mention goth, and a total outcast." The girl's voice was snide and uneducated. Sango brushed it off.
"Sexy is sexy, sugar." Miroku's reply made Sango blush harder, but he would never know.
*~*~*
Miroku strolled down the hallway, surrounded, as he often could be found, with several girls. Nameless girls, girls who would be replaced within a week. All beautiful, all "possibilities".
Bliss.
And then he had seen that intriguing sophomore, the goth girl with the perfect. . . asset. She was one that wouldn't come easily, like all the others did. Of course, Kagome defied him daily, but that was different. This girl was shy AND defiant- a real challenge. A real challenge was just what he needed to keep him entertained- at least for a month or so. Maybe after that, a freshman? He enjoyed shocking his fellow classmates. Doing the unexpected. But for now, the sophomore was unexpected.
Maybe he would ask Kagome to invite her somewhere, and he'd tag along. As if on cue, the 15-year-old cheerleader approached him in the hallway. Miroku quickly dismissed the girls, and they disappeared like mist.
"Kagome," he said, taking her hand and kissing it unnecessarily. Kagome rolled her eyes and yanked her hand back to herself.
"What do you want, Perv?" Kagome asked teasingly. Miroku grinned.
"I have a favor to ask of you."
"Uh huh."
"That girl in your class- the sophomore, sort of goth- what's her name?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at her friend.
"You're not going to. . . 'go after' her, are you, Miroku?"
"I may. What's her name?"
"Sango." Kagome sighed.
"Sango. Beautiful name." Miroku seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Kagome," he said. Kagome groaned.
"What else do you want?" she put her hands on her hips.
"Next time we go out- can you bring her?" Miroku looked- it was odd- innocently hopeful. Kagome sighed again.
"Saturday- Sango and I are doing something. If you want to tag along. . . I guess I can handle that. I have to get back to class." She waved the hall pass for emphasis. "See you later."
'Step one.' Miroku thought with a grin that was no longer innocent. 'Check.'
