I don't think there had ever been a time in my life when I wanted nothing more than for that day to be over. Never this badly at least. Deep down I knew it wasn't just today that would be like this. I knew that for a while at least after this, things were going to be very weird. Kagome and Miroku weren't dating ...yet... but I knew by the time the night was out that Miroku would ask her out. That was just the way Miroku was.
The dance was so pointless in my mind right then and there. I wanted to go home so badly, but I felt that just Miroku's prescence at the dance kept drawing me closer and closer ever so slowly. This all made no sense to me. I felt like I was in some very very weird nightmare, that I just couldn't wake up from. Sadly, it was all very real.
I shook my head in an attempt to get some sense back, but all I managed to do was give myself a headache and a strange look from Kuranosuke. Before I had a chance to explain my actions, a lot of shouting interupted my thoughts.
"Fine then Kikyou. Be that way, I'm outta here. I never wanted to be here anyways" shouted a familiar voice angrily. I craned my neck just in time to see Inuyasha storm away, fuming.
"You've got some pretty weird friends Sango. I'm glad you are so much better than them" Kuranosuke said smiling down to me. I knew that was supposed to be a compliment, but I found it more than insulting. Without explaining myself, I left him standing on the dance floor, with the intentions of meeting up with Inuyasha.
I had just left the school, when I found Inuyasha. Quietly I crept up beside him. He seemed deep in thought, and I didn't want to disturb him. He would talk when he was ready and I knew very well that pushing him wouldn't help anything.
"You are very bad at being stealthy, you know that Sango?" replied Inuyasha, his voice full of hurt he was trying to hide.
"Oh well, I tried" I said, sitting down beside him on a big rock.
"I know why your here, and you can turn around and go back to your date, because there is nothing to worry about" said Inuyasha gruffly.
"Give up the act you know I'm not going anywhere. It would be a lot easier to just spill" I replied, following his gaze, which was directed at his black, scuffed shoes.
"Keh, I don't gotta do nothin' just leave me alone ok?"
"No Inuyasha. I'm nosy, and I wanna know what's going on. I don't care how long I have to sit here, I'm gunna find out" I said jokingly. Apparently my joke wasn't as obvious as I had intended.
"Leave. Me. Alone!" he shouted, walking off. I didn't need to be told twice. As much as it pained me, I let Inuyasha walk off. Once he had cooled off, he would come back, and he would talk to me.
I decided I should go back to my ... my ... my date. I cringed at the thought of it.
I walked cooly back into the dance room, showing my ripped ticket at the door. Quite the sight greeted me- if you could say that- at the door. In the middle of the dance floor was Kikyou, but she wasn't dancing with Inuyasha- she was dancing with Naraku! I nearly threw up. Naraku was the most dispicable people I had ever met. He was cruel and mean and a just all around horrible person. I always resented him because he had always made fun of my younger brother. It got so bad, my brother transferred schools.
Before I had time to process why Kikyou was dancing with such a freak, and not her date, I got hit with another blow. There on the dance floor, not that far from Kikyou and Naraku, was Kuranosuke... and he was dancing with Kagura!
Ok, so I hadn't wanted to go to the dance with Kuranosuke... but that didn't mean he could ditch me half way through the dance! My blood boiled over. I thought he was supposed to be a gentleman. So much for that, any last shred of dignity he held flew out the window when he KISSED Kagura, right there, in the middle of the dance floor.
I stormed out of the gym ... again. I needed time to think. Time to process what the hell was going on. I looked for Inuyasha. I wasn't sure if he had any idea what was going on, or why the world had gone crazy... correction, crazier.
"You look like you just got hit by a truck" said a voice as smooth as satin.
"Fuck off" I said, without pausing.
"Hey, that hurts you know!" called the same sweet voice.
"Do I look like I care?" I said whirling around, ready to kick someones ass.
"No, I already told you, you look like you just got run over by a truck. What the hell happened?"
"uh...." was all I could manage to say. I was face-to-face with Miroku! OK, update, the world is now inside out, upside down and headed straight for another galaxy.
"Well?" Miroku said impatiently, tapping his toe on the ground.
"Why aren't you with your date?" was the smartest answer I could come up with.
"She ... went to see what happened to Inuyasha, so I thought I would get a breathe of fresh air" he said, a hint of hurt in his voice. He cleared his throat "So... you never answered my question"
"Well... I didn't get hit by a truck, but I feel like it." 'And I started telling people when I feel upset when?' I asked myself. This was a first for sure. I felt like I could tell Miroku anything, or everything, so I did.
"And then I saw Kuranosuke kissing Kagura. I hardly expected that to happen. Especially with Kagura" I finished resentfully. I had refrained telling him anything about how I felt about him and Kagome, saying instead that my mom had been bothering me too.
"Are you sure thats all?" He said. I looked down, trying to avoid his eye.
"Yes" I said, but I knew he knew better than to beleive me.
"I think you mean 'no'" he said putting his arm around me, to comfort me.
"I think I mean yes" I said slyly, smiling up at him.
"Well if your sure," he said, getting up to leave.
"I hate you" I joked.
"What did I do now? I haven't even groped you lately!" he said, pretending to be shocked and putting a hand over his heart.
"Yeah, that's cuz you have a date!" I said, immediatly wishing I had taken it back. Miroku's expression changed but he tried to regain his composure.
"...had..." he said after a long silence. I smiled sympathetically, and stood beside him.
"What happened?" I asked softly. Miroku sighed, and gestured for me to sit back down.
"I broke it off... more or less. We both agreed there were other people we would rather be seeing" He said, looking me in the eye. I looked down at the ground shyly. 'He... He doesn't mean ME does he? No that can't be right, who then?' I thought desperatly.
"Oh" was all I could say. "Come on, lets go back to the dance. I'm sure Kagome and Inuyasha will show up there eventually" I said, getting up to leave.
We walked back to the dance in silence. It was an akward silence, but it wasn't quite comfortable either. It was more like a pensive silence than anything else. I knew I had been thinking too much when I was thinking about what type of silence was between us.
"So.. do you know what was up with Kikyou and Inuyasha?" I asked, breaking Miroku's reverie apparently, because he jumped ten feet in the air.
"No clue. But I'm sure Kikyou just got really bitchy over something stupid like Inuyasha not kissing her.. ahem feet 24/7"
"Yeah I saw Kikyou dancing with another guy- Naraku- to be exact. And I knew it was something like that."
We walked into the gym, and sat down on the bleachers for a while.
Can somebody explain to me
Why everybody is trying to be
Living like a celebrity
Doing what they see on MTV.
Ice is cool but I am looking for more, simple things is what my heart beats for.
I smirked at how the lyrics applied to my life. Almost ironic. The one person I want is about as close to a celebrity as a will ever know, but all I want is the real Miroku. I was startled when Miroku got up off the bleachers. Even more when he knelt down in front of me. "Would you like to dance, mylady?" He said, in a most regal voice. I giggled and simply nodded. Standing up, I linked my arms around his neck, and he pulled me closer. We danced. It was something so simple, but it made my heart go a million miles a minute. I was so happy just being there close to him. I was even happier that his hands never left my hips. Maybe it was that he didn't like me, so he wouldn't grope me.. but I was hoping it was something more... more like respect.
Cause that's me I don't ask for much Baby Having you is enough
I rested my head against his neck. In that moment, no other thoughts ran through my mind, other than where I was, and who I was with. I didn't think of Kagome, or if Miroku was upset and just trying to get back at her. I didn't think a single bad thing would ever happen when I was with him. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help but want to beleive it.
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
Cause I know you got alot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You
Baby all I want is You Yeah
Miroku tiltled my chin up, so he could look straight into my eyes. His touch, his look, everything, sent shivers up and down my spine. He could read my thoughts and I knew it. It made me feel so vulerable, wich I hated, but something wouldn't let me look away. If there was one person I could be safe with, it was him. I knew it was OK to let down my gaurd.
It don't matter that your car is fly And your rims are spinning on the side and It don't matter where we go tonight Cause if I'm with you I'll be alright. That's cool but I'm lookin for more Its your love that my heart beats for.
Miroku's gaze never faltered, never changed. He just looked straight into my soul. All I could do was smile, and drown in his deep amythest eyes.
Cause thats me Don't have to spend a dime Baby I just want your time
Miroku's face was getting closer, and I wasn't afriad. I was never an affection person in public, but right now, there was no one else in the room. I closed my eyes, and our lips met. When I was younger I beleive in fairytales. When I grew up, I held on to my dreams. Now that I'm older, I still may be wiser, but those dreams kept me alive inside. They kept me warm at night. Hope and faith were what made the sun shine for me, on the rainiest days. This was my dream. Knowing, if by magic, that you were meant to be with someone. They say that teenagers in love, is only young love, puppy love. This was true love.
-END-
