~*~*~*~* DISCLAIMER ** This Shin guy don't own Inu Yasha
~*~*~*~* Chapter 5 ~ A Talk With Sango *~*~*~*~
Where am I? It's all very dark. I can't see a thing.
"Hey, is she awake?"
Who's that? Who's voice was that?
"Miroku! Don't make such a fuss!"
Hmm, whose voice is that now?
"But I swear! See? Her eyes blinked again!"
I can feel a couple people surrounding me. I tried to open my eyes. And when I did, everything turned clear. There stood Sango and Miroku beside me.
I tried to sit up, but I find my foot hurt so much I stop. I look at my foot and realized the blood had not stopped.
"Where am I? What happened?" Suddenly, the memory came back to me. I quickly look around. There is no Naraku. I let out a breath of relief. And then I noticed I'm in my room.
"How come I'm here?" I questioned.
"Well, you were unconscious just now. So we decided to bring you home. We were just considering if you stay unconscious for another hour, we'll take you to the nurse's office. But then you woke up!" Sango said happily.
"What happened to Naraku? And. where's Inu Yasha? Is he alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Said a voice from the corner of my room. I glanced and realized Inu Yasha had been standing there all the time. He look kind'a weird.
"Um, listen Kagome. Sorry, uh. and thank you." We both look at each other for a moment before Inu Yasha turned away.
"Sorry?" I blinked, "sorry for what? And thank you for what?"
Miroku was just about to open his mouth when Sango poke him in the ribs, making him stop dead in his tracks. Inu Yasha turned around again. I noticed he was blushing a little.
"Well," he started, "first of all, sorry for pushing you around like that." I suddenly remembered when Inu Yasha had pushed me and made my ankle bleed. "And also for landing on you like that." He fell silent. I waited but he won't speak anymore.
"So. what's the thank you for?" I asked quietly.
"Well," he said slowly, "if I hadn't landed on you. well, I'm the one that'll be in the situation you are right now. So, uh, thanks." He quickly turned away. I can tell Sango or Miroku had persuaded him to say those things he just said to me.
"Hey, what time is it?" Miroku asked suddenly.
"Oh my gosh!" Sango shouted, looking at her watch, "it's already 8:23 p.m. you guys should go back to your dormitory! The inspector will come soon! Go, hurry!"
Miroku and Inu Yasha quickly walk towards to the door. Just when Inu Yasha was about to leave, our eyes meet. Inu Yasha blushed. I blushed too. He turn his head and then walk together with Miroku.
"That was a close one." Sango sighed. I turned around and look at her. She was sitting on the side of her bed.
"What was?" I asked stupidly. Sango looked at me.
"Didn't you read the 7 rules of Four Souls?"
"Four Souls?" I asked again.
"The school's nickname." She explained patiently. "But anyway, if a boy wants to go to a girl's dormitory or a girl wants to go to a boy's dormitory they have to."
"Oh yeah," I interrupted, "I was about to ask you that. How come boys can go to girls' dormitories?"
"I was just about to explain that."
"Oh, sorry," I blushed, feeling how noisy I must be.
"Well anyway, if a boy wants to go to a girl's dormitory or a girl wants to go to a boy's dormitory they have to go back to their own dormitory by 8:30 p.m. To make sure every student follow the rule, one of the teachers will come and inspect us at the promised time. If the teacher found out any student who disobeyed the rule, they'll get severe punishments."
I look at my watch. It's already 8:25 p.m. The teacher is bound to come any moment now. I then noticed something. My ankle. It hurt so much! Sango seemed to notice I was looking at my bleeding ankle because she said,
"Ooh, does it hurt, Kagome? Here, I'll give a few bandages." She walk towards her wardrobe and begin to dig for her bandages. She seemed to have a difficulty to find (I don't think Sango is the type to get injured a lot) the bandages. When she did managed to find it, the door opened suddenly, and Ms. Tsubaki came in, quickly glancing around the room, without even knocking!
"What are you doing?" she said, eyeing Sango suspiciously.
"Getting some bandages for Kagome."
"Kagome? Bandages?" Ms. Tsubaki turned around and she seemed to only notice me then, because she then smiled. "Oh, Higurashi! So your roommate is Sango?" I nodded. Ms. Tsubaki turned to look at Sango again.
"What do you mean bandages, Sango?" Sango sighed and pointed at my bleeding ankle. Ms. Tsubaki let out a gasp.
"Oh dear! It's blood! Well, anyways, I see you are not hiding any boys in here. Well, I'll be off then! Um, Higurashi, dear, if it. you know. gets worse, please go to the nurse's office. Alright then, girls." She then quickly walk through the door. I laugh, I never see a teacher afraid of seeing blood. Sango laughed too as she begin to cut the bandages and cover my wound. I smiled at her.
"Thanks Sango."
She almost finished putting the medicine and bandages around my ankle when she looked up at me with that innocent face. Her mouth was slightly opening.
I continue to smile at her. She then smile to me in reply.
~*~*~*~* 2 HOURS LATER *~*~*~*~
"Hey Kagome." Sango said the moment both of us were already tuck in comfortably in our blankets.
"Huh?" I said, staring at the ceiling. I'm not sure I can sleep well tonight, this is, after all, my first day. It's been a very very very very very very very very very very long day. (A/N Wow, I can't believe it took 5 chapters! Har har har, sorry. I promise the following days will not be this long. Okay?)
"I don't think it's a good idea that you told the whole school where you sleep." Sango said.
"Oh." I said quietly. "I know that. But I can't help it. I can't just run away at that time."
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. Just don't bring a lot of guys in our room." Sango joked.
Both of us laughed. And then silenced followed.
"Hey Sango."
"Yeah?"
"How come you're friends with Miroku and Inu Yasha? I mean. you don't. have any female friend?" I asked timidly.
Sango lay quiet for a few moment. Then suddenly,
"I used to have one. But she betrayed me, no, she betrayed all of us." I turned around to look at Sango.
She was looking at the ceiling.
"You know? Come to think of it, you're a bit like her you know, Kagome?"
"Huh?"
"Well, most of the boys like her and she's all rich and pretty. She's just. totally popular and she can go grab the whole school's attention if she wants to, and she do that a lot." I felt as if my heart was stabbed.
"I'm not that kind of person! I'm not even sure why the boys are all acting like that. And I don't think I'm that pretty. And I'm definitely not popular!" Sango chuckled.
"Sango," I start again, "you've been sleeping alone for 2 weeks?"
"Yeah" she still stare at the ceiling.
"You're not. you know. uh. scared?"
"I know you're not trying to say that, Kagome." Sango said. "I know you're trying to ask me whether I'm lonely or not." I was surprised. It's as if Sango can see straight through me.
"Well. I cannot deny and say that I'm not lonely. But I'm quite used to that anyways. Last year, my roommate never talk to me. So, yeah."
I look at Sango's eyes. Her stare seemed very distant.
I was just about to end the conversation when Sango say something,
"Kikyo" she whispered.
"Sorry?"
"Kikyo. That's the girl who used to be my best friend and also my last year roommate." I stare at Sango. She had turned over so that I can only see her back.
"Kikyo is as sly as a fox." Sango continued, I know she's trying to cover her anger "she pretended to be my friend when she is absolutely new in this school. But I know she also want another thing from me, she wants Inu Yasha." I coughed suddenly.
"I. Inu Yasha?"
"Yes. You should know that he's quite popular. Soon, Kikyo was Inu Yasha's girlfriend. Their relationship didn't even last for 3 months, because then, Kikyo dumped Inu Yasha and went instead with Naraku."
This time I choked. Naraku? With Inu Yasha's ex?
"I know. It's hard to believe isn't it? But that's how it is." Then there was silence except for the soft ticking of the clock. Finally Sango said,
"Kagome, tomorrow we have to wake up early. So, nighty night."
"Alright. Night."

Err - right, that's all. Thanks. Hope ya love it, it's the best I can do as a person who never really write a lot. ^_^;
