Some parts of this story: Ken Akamatsu (A.I. Love You)

From the moment they left the bus, Sango was the talk of the school. It started when Miroku saw his best friend Inu Yasha, who, at the moment, was watching a group of their peers fighting. Miroku poked the white-haired boy in the back, making the boy turn around and growl.

"What was that for Houshi?" he grumbled while Miroku smirked. Inu Yasha's eyes traveled from his friend's to the girl that was standing next to him. "Holy crap! Where the hell did you pick that chick up?!" Inu Yasha said, his mouth dropping open. Sango smiled and bowed slightly.

"Hello, I am Sango Taijiya! And you must be Miroku's friend Inu-kun!" she said happily, his mouth still hung open.

"Sango? Call him Inu Yasha, not kun or Inu…he's…uhh…pleased to meet you." Miroku nodded as Inu Yasha blinked, closing his mouth.

"Please tell me she has a sister…" Inu Yasha gaped at the girl as she wandered around.

"No sorry…not that I know of…" Miroku replied, watching as the girl walked up to a vending machine.

"She's cute…but she looks brain-dead…" Inu Yasha said plainly when Miroku turned away from the girl. Inu Yasha turned back to his friend, "no offence…but she is talking to a vending machine…" Miroku turned around again to look at Sango at this comment and noticed her sitting by the vending machine, laughing. Miroku walked over to her, about to ask her what she was doing when all of the chocolate bars came out of their slots.

"Why thank you, are these for me?" Sango asked the machine, giggling. Miroku's eyes bulged and he grabbed her arm, pulling her away from the machine. "What's wrong? I was just talking to it…" she said softly, confused at her boyfriend's actions.

"Just keep running!" he hissed, pulling her quickly away from the vending machine. She shook her head, confused. Her boyfriend sure was strange…

"Miroku, who is that?" Sango asked suddenly, pointing to a raven haired girl with a low cut tank top and a short skirt on.

"Oh…her…she's well…she's Yura…" he mumbled, his eyes not meeting in the direction of Sango's finger.

"Houshi! Why the hell is that girl pointing at Yura?" a sharp female voice snapped, causing Miroku to look up into the blood-red eyes of his classmate. The girl frowned, her hair was up in a loose bun, a feather sticking out of it. Her eyes were naturally brown but Yura had demanded that all her friends do something cool and different for her, making all of the Yura groupies to change things about them. This girl for instance, had bought red contacts to show off her loyalty.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm." Sango bowed slightly to the girl, causing all of Yura's groupies to burst into a fit of giggles.

"What are you supposed to be, his girlfriend?" another girl shot out. This one had long black hair and brown eyes, she never smiled and her voice was cold and lifeless. Her gift to Yura was her smile, to show her loyalty she promised to never smile. It was scary really, but then again, Miroku never understood girls.

"Yes I am. I am Miroku's girlfriend." Sango said politely, bowing to the other girl. This again brought another fit of giggles.

"Wow, so you are a girl…so surprising, I would have thought you'd be a man, seeing how Houshi could never get a girl." Kagura scoffed, waving a paper fan in front of her face. Sango smiled, not understanding that they weren't joking.

"Yes. I am a girl…I am Taijiya Sango. Pleased to meet you." she said, smiling warmly.

"Kikyo, Kagura…let's welcome our new friend…for she must be so lonely!" the smooth, high pitched voice of Yura Kaminoke. Sango turned to the newcomer and smiled.

"Hello! I would love to be your friend!" she bowed to the girl, unaware of the snickers behind her.

"Uh…Yura…we have to g-"

"Oh hold on Houshi, I'm just talking to my friend here…run along!" she waved her hand at Miroku, who stared at Sango in response.

"I must be going…thank you though!" she smiled, running to catch up with Miroku.

"Yura…what are we going to do about her? A girl like that could ruin our rep." Kagura hissed through her teeth, watching the retreating back of the new girl.

"Oh she won't ruin my reputation…I will personally see to that. Kikyo, find out what people are saying about her. And Kanna?" Yura turned to the white-haired sister of Kagura. "Reach into her soul…find every juicy detail about this girl…do whatever it takes…" the two girls nodded and began to follow Sango. Kagura eyed Yura as Yura smirked. "Kagura…play nice with Miroku…that's your job…and also, if you hear anything bad about me…make they're lives a living hell." Kagura nodded and closed her fan.

'This will be interesting…'

«»«»«»

Sango followed Miroku closely, his eyes not meeting hers.

"I'm sorry, Miroku…" she whispered, tears threatened to pour out of her eyes.

"Why?" he asked suddenly, looking up at the brunette.

"I made you angry…" she mumbled, but looked up when his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"No you didn't…I was just thinking…" he smiled at her, making her smile as well.

"I'm glad…Miroku…" she smiled, stopping in mid step and hugging him. He stiffened slightly, but after the sudden shock he gently wrapped his arms around her waist. After they broke their embrace, the shrill sound of first bell rang, making students hurry off to classes.

"We have five more minutes…let's hurry." he smiled at the girl, taking her hand and leading her to his class.

As soon as they entered, people stopped talking. All eyes were on the new girl holding Miroku's hand. Miroku slid into his seat, which was conveniently located next to Kagura and behind Yura. But the seat behind him was completely empty, a perfect place for Sango to sit. As soon as they had walked in, Miroku sent Sango to the teacher, making her introduce herself to her new teacher. As soon as the second bell rang, class began.

"We have a new student…Taijiya Sango! Miss Taijiya, would you please tell us a few things? Like where you moved from and an interesting fact about you?" the teacher asked, after scanning the application she had put into the computer earlier.

"Sure! Like you said, my name is Taijiya Sango…I moved from…America! And I'm good at math." she said cheerfully, Kagura scoffed from Miroku's right.

"Wow, you're Japanese is flawless!" the teacher said to the girl. She smiled and bowed.

"Thank you…my parents were Japanese models for A.I. Programs." she said, Miroku almost died when she said that, but no one else seemed to notice what she said.

"Wow that must have been amazing! That must be why you can speak fluent English, did they travel?" the teacher asked, intrigued.

"No…they didn't but I'm sure other models did." she smiled as the teacher finally let her sit down behind Miroku.

"So you're parents are some of the people who 'donated' their looks for the A.I. Programs?" the girl next to Sango asked her once she sat down.

"No. They were A.I. pro-" Sango started until Miroku interrupted.

"They were A.I. Programmers! As well as donators." he said. The girl gave him a funny look and turned back to her studies.

'That was close…' he thought, turning back to the teacher's lessons.

«»«»«»

Finally it was lunch time, which meant relaxing from studies. Miroku sat down under the usual tree, Sango beside him. They had just unpacked the lunch Sango had made for them when Kagura came over by the two.

"Hello Sango dear, can I borrow Hou- I mean Miroku?" she asked sweetly, making Miroku shiver slightly.

"Sure Kagura-chan!" she giggled, not noticing the glare Kagura gave her at the "chan" remark. Kagura snatched the boy, leaving Sango to her lunch.

"So…Houshi, what's the deal with this girl?" she asked, once they were out of earshot. Miroku looked at her, in his best "I'm confused" expression.

"What do you mean?" he asked the girl.

"Cut the crap Houshi." she snapped, making him wince again. "How the hell would a guy like you get a girl who could rival Yura in looks?" Kagura asked, mainly to herself than to Miroku.

"So that's what this is about." he said, surprised. Kagura looked at him, confused. "You think Sango is going to take Yura's popularity away!"" he exclaimed, shaking his head.

"N-no!" she growled, angry at herself for blabbing and at him for being so God damn smart.

"Whatever…" he shrugged, returning to where Sango was eating.

"So did you have fun talking to Kagura-chan?" she asked as he groaned.

"No." he responded.

"Why?

"Because she was basically talking about you…"

"About me? What did she say?" she asked, confused.

"Just that you're going to be Miss Popularity…" he sighed, she looked at him…her confused expression still on her face.

"I don't understand…"

"Never mind…she's just worried about Yura."

"Ohh…" she murmured, still confused. She smiled, and turned to him happily. "Open up Miroku!" she giggled, pushing a rice ball towards him. He blushed taking it from her fingers and smiled, ever since he gave her the taste bud program, she was able to make amazing dishes.

"Hey Houshi!" a voice called out to the boy. When he turned, he was face to face with his friend, Inu Yasha.

"Oh…hey…what's up?" he asked, swallowing the last of the rice ball.

"Come here…I have a couple of questions that need answers…" Inu Yasha said, dragging Miroku away from Sango.

"Alright…shoot…"

"What's the deal with her? Where did you find her?"

"Okay…can you keep a secret?"

"I'm a loser…who am I going to tell?" Inu Yasha said, raising an eyebrow.

"Good enough…okay…she's really an A.I. Program…I had tweaked some stuff in her program core…and when I asked her to do a search on what I changed...she just came out of the computer…" he replied, eying the girl jadedly.

"So that's why she's so hot…" Inu Yasha gave a low whistle, making his friend glare.

"What's that supposed to mean…"

"N-nothing!" Inu Yasha said, holding his hands out in front of him. "But…do you think you could do that with my A.I.?" Inu Yasha smirked at his friend who sighed.

"Sure…we'll come over later…" he said, as the two of them walked back to Sango.

"So…what did you get Kikyo?" Yura asked, sitting on her picnic blanket, a million dollar lunch in front of her.

"She's weird…her parents are Japanese models for those A.I. Programs…" Kikyo replied, staring at her sandwich hesitantly, as if she thought it would bite her if she bit it. She looked back up at Yura and almost smiled. "She also talks to vending machines…" Yura raised a brow, this girl was strange…but strange could be good…which for her was not good.

"Kanna?" Yura asked, the girl shook her head.

"I am working on it Yura…I can't get close to her until she is alone…I will try at gym class." she said, her voice barely heard. Yura nodded and sighed.

"I guess we have no choice…Kanna, talk to Tsubaki…" Kikyo looked at Yura sharply.

"Tsubaki? But she's…so not cool…she's a complete rebel against your charms!" Kikyo exclaimed, looking across the courtyard to see a dark haired girl with her friends. It seemed like they were, at the moment, doing a voodoo ritual on a peer. Kikyo shivered, she never exactly liked that girl…even though they were cousins.

"And? We need her…she can do anything. Well besides looking halfway decent." Yura laughed, her sharp voice hitting an earsplitting note that all but her groupies flinched at. Yura snapped her fingers impatiently and Kanna went on her way to talk to Tsubaki. "Rin!" Yura snapped to a young innocent looking girl. She was one of Yura's wannabes, and one that was close to becoming the next Yura Groupie.

"Y-yes Yura?" she asked, her soft voice barely heard over the noise of the courtyard.

"Hand me my comb." the girl demanded, taking to comb from the girl and using it on her short dark hair. "Perfect…here comes Kanna." she mumbled, looking at the girl expectantly.

"She said no."

"Did you threaten her?" Yura asked, raising a brow. Kanna shuffled her feet nervously and looked around.

"Not exactly…"

"Why not?!" Yura exclaimed watching the other girl bite her lip.

"Well…you see…"

"She's afraid of her. Why else?" Kikyo said sharply, making Yura turn to her and nod.

"I see. You're her cousin…go ask her. She won't be able to hex you…seeing how you're her own flesh and blood." Yura said calmly. Kikyo stiffened, frowning and walking over to Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki…" Kikyo said coolly to the white haired girl.

"Cousin…what brings you here." Tsubaki sneered, her friends laughing.

"You know why. We want you to…help us with a project."

"And if I refuse?"

"I'll show your friends some family reunion pictures." Kikyo said simply, low enough for only Tsubaki to hear. Tsubaki frowned, glaring at her cousin.

"You wouldn't…you're afraid of me."

"Am I?"

"Yes…you are." Tsubaki smirked.

"Alright…what if I say I can get you out of ever going to another family reunion again." Kikyo said, catching Tsubaki's attention.

"You can't do that…" Tsubaki said, Kikyo almost smiled at the hint of uncertainty in her cousin's voice.

"You doubt me?"

"Fine…what do you want me to do?" Tsubaki sighed, defeated.

"Kill Taijiya Sango, if she gets in our way."
