Disclaimer: I still don't own Inuyasha but if I ever do, I'll let you know.
Sango awoke early the next morning in the sunlight-filled room. She walked over the wondow and opened the curtains. She looked out on a beautiful day. The rising golden sun was shining, setting everything aglow, and the majestic blue sky was completely cloudless. Sango was suprised at how awake she felt, considering the how little sleep she had gotten. Sango felt as if a dark miasma had been lifted from around her. She was suprised to find herself smiling at nothing in paticular. Quickly, she got changed into her regular clothes before the hentai Houshi awoke. Once she was ready, she decided to take a walk into town and find out more about the festivities that would be taking place. In the hallway, Sango saw Kagome shuffling back to her room, clutching a cup - presumably filled with tea- as if it was more precious than life itself. "Hey Kagome-chan! I'm suprise to see you up this early." chirped Sango. 'Woah, since when do I chirp' thought Sango. She tried her hardest not to laugh as her best friend turned to face her. Kagome looked like the living dead!
"I know! I woke up because of the bloody sun being too bright. I barely slept last night, and I stayed up super late!" Kagome whined, scowling in the general direction of the sun. To emphasise how mad at it she was, she pretended to shoot it with an imaginary arrow. Sango laughed at how insane her friend was if she didnt get enough sleep.
"Ya I woke up early too, obviously, since I'm standing here and it's early. Suprisingly I'm not as tired as you. Then again you've never been a morning person," Sango said tilting her head to the side slightly.
"If you didn't get much sleep the why are you so chirpy this morning? Your usually so quiet in the morning..." Kagome eyed her friend suspiciously. A blush crept onto Sango's cheeks.
"Oh, no reason in particular," she replied, doing everything in her power to keep from blushing- unsucessfully.
"You know, you never could lie well Sango. Are you going to tell me what happened or not?" Kagome asked, getting straight to the point.
"There's nothing to tell! I guess I'm just excited about the festival tonight. I think we'll have to go shopping for formal kimonos!" She said trying desperatly to change the subject. "Oooh! Shopping!" squeeled Kagome excitedly. "In that case I should take a nap so I don't fall asleep while we're shopping! Well, goodnight, er goodmorning, I guess" Kagome said turning back to her room. Suddenly she swiveled around to face Sango. "I haven't forgotten about finding out what happened last night! I will find out, even if I have to compliment it out of you!" she was smiling like an evil Chesire cat.
"NO! You wouldn't be that cruel! You know I hate compliments!" screamed Sango pretending to be horrified. "Sango, you're so PRETTY!" called the raven haired girl, laughing manaically. "Lalalala, I can't hear you!" said sango in a sing-song voice, plugging her ears. "Oh, this is only the begining," threatened an evil Kagome, walking back to her room.
"PRETTY!" Kagome called, then slammed the door.
Sango laughed at her friend and continued on her way. Deciding that it would be a good idea to eat something before she went too far Sango headed to the inn's diner. In the diner, Sango saw a familiar face. It was none other than her lecherous Miroku. 'Hold on! Wait a second! Since when is Miroku MINE and since when do I call him by his name!' thought Sango to herself. She returned her gaze to the Houshi; and noted his lecherous smile. The demon slayer growled low in her throat. Thankfully no-one heard this, because that would have been hard to explain. She could only immagine the looks she would have gotten. Sango sat down at the opposite side of the room from Miroku, so he wouldn't see her, but she could still make sure he wasn't being a lech. Miroku was wearing his trademark leacherous grin. Sango, following his gaze spotted a group of pretty girl giggling over their breakfast meals. She turned her gaze back to Miroku and glared at him, 'So I confess my love to him and he repays me by gawking at other girls. Well, that's the Miroku I fell in love with, I'd be scared if he changed. At least he's not groping them.. yet.
Sango finished her meal quickly and continued on her 'mission'. Thankfully it wasn't hard. While she was walking out of the diner she ran into the inn's owner. "Well hello sir!" Sango greeted him kindly, which was the least she could do, seeing as how hospitable he had been.
"Ah, Sango it is, right?" he said in a jolly voice. Sango nodded, and he continued, "I have been looking for one of you. I wanted to tell you about what is going on tonight, for the festival" "What luck! I was just going to try to figure that out for myself!" Sango cheered.
"Well, that's perfect! First of all," he said ticking off a list on his fingers as he went, "you might want to buy some formal kimonos," he lowered his voice, "especially for that other girl, she would get plenty of strange looks going around in that outfit," bringing his voice to a normal level he continued. "The guys shouldn't need new robes, I just thought you and the- Kagome I think her name is- might want to go shopping. We have many wonderful shops her, so please help yourself." the inn keeper stopped to catch his breath, because he had been talking so fast. "Ok, I will get Kagome soon to go shopping. She'll be exctatic!" Sango said while the inn-keeper caught up with himself. "Wonderful. Well, the festivities will start tonight around dinner. Everyone gathers in the town square and we have a HUGE feast together. During dessert, there will be entertainment from some of the locals. After that, we have a band that will be playing. We will clear out the tables and chairs from the square while everyone is visiting the booths that will be set up. There will be games and people will be selling all sorts of things, there will even be workshops, where masters of their trade will explain how they do what they do. For the children, there will be story telling" the Inn keeper said.'Perfect for Shippo, and maybe even kirara- as long as no little kids bother her or pull her tail...' thought Sango happily. "Well, I beleive thats everything. Oh, if you want, you can bake something for the dinner, it's a potluck, but you don't have to bring anything. If you do want to bake, our kitchen is open to you anytime," he added graciously.
"Thank you very much, Mr.." Sango said, looking for a name. "Call me Seiho" he replied, smiling widely.
"Well, thank you for everything, Seiho-san" said Sango, bowing slightly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to tell the others," she said, going back into the diner. 'Starting with the perverted monk!' she thought laughing evily for getting to interupt his...breakfast and show... so to speak. "Hello Houshi!" called Sango, when she was standing right behind him. Miroku jumped ten feet in the air, and turned around to see Sango glaring evily. "WHO might you're lovely FRIENDS here be?" she asked innocently, glaring at each girl in turn. She glared especially menicingly at the girl half on Miroku's lap. She squeeled and back away from Sango and Miroku. 'Thats right girlie, you back away' thought Sango, 'WAIT Why am I being so possesive agian?!' Sango sighed and sat down beside Miroku. "Well, sorry to interupt your little party here, but you gotta come with me. We're going to get Kagome and Inuyasha. And if they start throwing rocks at us for waking them up, I need a human shield!" she said, grabbing the monk's wrist and dragging him away from the girls. After being filled in on what was going on that night Miroku huffed.
"You had to drag me away for THAT? Sango-chan, dear, why couldn't you have just told me there?" he asked, trying to look innocent.
"You know darn well why I dragged you out of there!" shouted a very angry Sango. Miroku looked apologetic.
"Come on Sango, lets go wake up Kagome and Inuyasha. That should cheer you up," he said softly, putting his arm around Sango's waist, and leading her to Kagome's room. They formed a plan to wake the two up, Sango would jump on Kagome, resulting in her screaming, and waking up Inuyasha! They would have woken up Inuyasha directly, but they liked all their limbs attatched, and Inuyasha's wake up call would have otherwise. "WAAAAAAAKE UP KAGOME!!!" shouted Sango, leaping on the edge of Kagome's futon. Just as planned choas errupted. Kagome screamed bloody murder, Inuyasha jumped sky high, and Shippo ran around screaming. Sango and Miroku fell on the ground from laughing so hard. Then they ran for their lives as they were chased by Kagome and a super grumpy hanyou. Eventually, everything settled down. Sango convinced her best friend to stop being angry, and they went shopping for the rest of the day. Inuyasha went out for lunch, and Miroku was stuck babysitting Shippo and Kirara. Sango and Kagome flitted from store to store trying on all sorts of outfits. Kagome settled on a green kimono with white trim on the sleeves and base. At the bottom of her kimono was a pink embroidered dragon. Sango found a silken kimono that was dusty rose. On her kimono were brighter pink and purple-ish sakura flowers and topped off with a golden in the bottom and on the sleeves. Their next stop was to a jewerly shop. Kagome got a matching green bracelet and necklace to go with her kimono. She also got a green ribbon to tie her hair back in a ponytail. Sango was going to buy a pink one, but was convinced into leaving her hair to flow freely down her back that night. Sango decided against any jewelery, so they continued on their shopping spree. Althought the girls didn't need any more clothes, they continued to shop late into the afternoon. Arms full of bags, they headed back to the inn to get ready. "Hello ladies, its so nice to have you back!" called a cheerful Miroku. "KAGOME!!!!" screamed the tiny kitsune.
"Mew, mew" purred Kirara.
"Keh," was the only remark from Inuyasha. "I'm glad we're so wanted!" exclaimed Kagome, hugging Shippo.
"Well we'll see you at dinner okay guys? We have to get ready! We'll meet you at the village square!" called Kagome, grabbing Sango's wrist, and taking off to Kagome's room to get ready. "Well, it was nice to see them for 0.5 seconds" remarked Inuyasha, walking away. He turned back and noticed Miroku's grin. "Oh no you don't. I don't need you dying on my watch, and you know they would kill you if you peeked on them changing!" he growled. Miroku pouted and followed Inuyasha off into the forest. "It's not fair though! Shippo got to go with them!" he whined to the hanyou.
"Well, he's just a kid and he's NOT a hentai, baka!" scolded Inuyasha. "Good point...But STILL!" he whined some more. Inuyasha whacked Miroku over the head and the continued bickering while they waited for the girls to get ready.
