CHAPTER 22
"Inuyasha!" The angery sound of Sango's voice filled the house.
Inuyasha cringed and flattened his new dog ears flat against his skull.What did I do this time? He wondered as he heard heavy footsteps coming into the living room.
A few minutes later, a fuming Sango stood in front of Inuyasha. "I didn't say anything when you left your clothes all over the guest room, I didn't mind when you didn't take the garbage out like you said you would, I didn't even say anything when you put the ice tray back in the freezer empty, but this is the last straw!" She yelled, causing his ears to ring even more than they were.
Inuyasha glared at her. "Just tell me what I did and stop yelling!" He growled out.
Sango's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I'll tell you what you did! You left the toilet seat up!" She yelled, shaking her fists at him and then stomped back into her room to get ready for work.
Inuyasha stared after her, blinking his eyes in confusion. "Whats so bad about that?" He asked while scratching the back of his head.
Kagome chuckled from the chair she was sitting in. "You really got Sango mad this time." She chuckled out.
Inuyasha glanced at the blind girl and smirked. "Yeah, and I didn't even have to do anything this time." He replied, making Kagome laugh again.
A while later Sango came back into the living room, fully dressed and looking much calmer than she had eariler. She walked into the kitchen and came back a few minutes later carrying a cup of steaming black coffee.
She sat down on the far end of the couch opposite to Inuyasha. She took a long sip of her coffee and then spoke, ignoring Inuyasha as she did so. "Do you have anything planned for today, Kagome?" She questioned her blind friend.
Kagome shook her head. No, not anything in particular. Going on my daily walk later and thats about it. Why do you ask?" She responded and tilted her head to the side.
Sango smiled over her coffee cup. "Good, 'cause we are going out tonight!" She said.
Kagome raised an eyebrow, as did Inuyasha. "Going out where?" She asked, sounding rather nervous.
Sango grinned again. "I have no earthly idea. Miroku called last night and said that he was treating us to a night on the town." She replied, a twinkle in her eye.
Kagome looked uncertain. It had been over a year since she had last been in the town, and to be honest she was rather nervous about being in a large crowd of people. "I dunno, Sango. Can Inuyasha come along, too?" She asked.
She didn't quiet know why, but if Inuyasha would come with her, she would feel much more comfortable.
Sango shrugged her shoulders. "Sure, Miroku said that he was treating everyone out tonight. And besides," Here a wicked grin spread across her face. "Miroku is gonna pay up on his bet tonight, and I want as many people there as possible to see it." She finished.
Kagome felt her curiosity begin to stir. She had been hearing a lot about this bet between Sango and Miroku for quiet some time now, and she was wanting to know what it was. "Well, okay, I'll come." She said.
Sango grinned widely. "Great! I'll tell Miroku to pick us up around eight then!" She said and stood and rushed out the front door, leaving for work.
Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome.Why would she want me to go with her? He wondered. He shrugged his shoulders and pushed the thought to the back of his mind to figure out later.
Kagome glanced un-seeing eyes in the direction where she had last heard Inuyasha's voice. "I hope you don't mind me doing that." She apologized to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha glanced at her with an raised eyebrow. "Why would I mind?" He questioned.
For some reason unknown to Kagome, she felt her face begin to heat up in a blush. "I dunno. I was thinking that you might have something planned for tonight." She explained, her face very pink.
Inuyasha shook his head. "You should know by now that I never have anything planned. At least I won't plan anything until I can figure out a way to fix this Kikyo thing." He muttered, crossing his arms over his chest as he did so.
Inuyasha had been living with Kagome and Sango for a little over five weeks now, and he still hadn't been able to figure out why he was still partiality a dog. Even Sesshomaru couldn't figure it out.
Feh, I'll figure it out sooner or later. He thought to himself.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome's soft voice interupted his thoughts.
Inuyasha glanced at her. "Yeah, what?" He asked, his voice in its usual gruffness.
Kagome glanced down. "Thank you, for saying that you'll go with me tonight." She said in a quiet voice.
"Sango, I'm really not sure about this. Its been so long since I've been anywhere." Kagome said to her friend.
It was later that day, late in the evening in fact, and Sango was helping a nervous Kagome get ready for their night out on the town.
Sango was busy brushing Kagome's thick black hair, watching it as it fell gracefully down her back. "Kagome, you'll be fine. And besides, with all the things that have been going on recently, I think we could all use a break, even Inuyasha." She said.
Ever since Inuyasha had changed back from a dog, Kagome seemed to be doing even better. She went with Sango to the grocery, she took those long walks with Inuyasha, and she had even started to call her old friends from before she was in the accident that took her sight away from her.
Kagome sighed nad nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, I guess your right. But, Sango?" She said.
Sango laid down the hair brush she had been using and began to apply make-up to Kagome's face. "Yes?" She replied.
Kagome was fidgeting with her fingers. "Sango, I-I'm scared." She admitted to her close friend.
Sango stopped applying lip gloss to Kagome's lips and looked down at the blind girl sitting in front of her. She knelt down and placed her hands on Kagome's shoulders. "Kagome, there is nothing to be afraid of. I'll be there, and so will Miroku, and even Inuyasha will be there." She reassured her friend.
Kagome didn't know why, but when Sango reminded her that Inuyasha would be there with her, she did feel encouraged.
Kagome nodded her head and took a deepbreath. Your right. So," She said and stood up and held her arms out. "How do I look?" She asked.
Sango had given Kagome a black mini skirt to wear and a beautiful V-neck torquise colored t-shirt that had fish net for sleeves down to her elbows, she was wearing black panty-hose with black spiked heeled shiny ankle boots.
Her hair fell loose down around her shoulders, going lovely with the torquise shirt. She had a light shade of pink blush on her cheeks, and her lips shimered with lip gloss.
"You look drop dead gorgeous!" She said and her friend laughed.
Sango smiled. It was good to hear her friend laughing again.
Sango was also looking pretty good. She had also worn a black mini skirt with black hose and the same black ankle boots as Kagome's, but her top was a sleeveless made out of some kinda silky maroon material with a snake skin pattern across it and she had her hair pulled into a high pony-tail.
"Well, are we ready to go?" Kagome asked her friend.
Sango smiled and took her friends arm. "You bet we are! Let's go party!" She said and led her friend out of her room, down the hall and into the livingroom where Inuyasha and Miroku were waiting for them.
Miroku and Inuyasha were lounging in the livingroom on the couch.
Miroku was wearing a dark purple button down silk shirt and black dress pants, while Inuyasha was wear a red t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers and a red bandanna was iver his hair to hide his dog ears.
Inuyasha reached up and scratched at the bandanna. "Stupid thing." He muttered and scratched again.
"Inuyasha, it will only make it worse if you scratch it more." Miroku said calmly.
Inuyasha growled at the man, but he stopped scratching.
His nose twitched and a familure scent wafted into the room. His amber eyes went to the hallway entrance and there stood a very beautiful Kagome.
Miroku turned to see what Inuyasha was staring at and he almost started drooling when he saw both the girls. He stood and rushed over to them. "Good evening, you lovely ladies." He said and took Sango's hand and gently kissed the back of it.
Sango blushed at the attention. "Thanks Miroku." She said. But her blush quickly went away.
Sango and Kagome both stiffened as they felt something on their backsides. "Hentai!" The both yelled and simultaneously slapped him, Sango slapping his left cheek and Kagome slapping his right.
And to make it even worse Inuyasha came up behind him and hit him across the back of his head.
Miroku only smiled and rubbed his red face and the forming bump on the back of his head.
"Shall we go?" He asked and offered his arm to Sango.
Sango glared at him, but took his offered arm none the less. "If you even think about trying anything, I swear that I will make it so you won't ever be a father." She threatened.
Miroku swallowed hard and kept his hands in respectable places.
Kagome's stomache leaped in slight fear and nervouseness. But she calmed when she felt the familure hand of Inuyasha on her shoulder.
"You gonna be alright?" He asked, trying to keep his voice gruff, but Kagome could still detect the hidden concern in his voice and was touched by it.
"Yes, I'll be fine." She said and laced her arm through his, letting him lead her out the front door and out to Miroku's car.
