Chappie 4 part.2
Sango sighed as she stirred her tea. She'd be lying if she said her session with Kikyou had gone well. It had gone little better then her date with Sesshoumaru. She would have thought that she could at least learn some of what Kikyou tried to teach her, but in the end all she had learned was how violent she was when people get close.
Kikyou had moved in to kiss her that morning and as soon as she was close enough, leaned in to kiss Sango. In retaliation, Sango had open her mouth, but what she hadn't counted it on was her natural reflexes kicking in and biting the hell out of Kikyou's tongue.
She had apologized profusely, but the damage had already been done and Sango wasn't sure Kikyou had accepted her apology. The only bright side she could think of was the fact that she hadn't drawn any blood. She had ended up deciding that she needed to go out and cheer herself up. The day was still young and she wanted to do something fun, or she wanted to enjoy herself anyways. Was Sesshoumaru really that important? Why was everyone so insistent that she continue seeing him? Sango wasn't very experienced, but it just didn't feel right, seeing Sesshoumaru.
Her cup of tea was knocked out of her hands as a woman slightly older then her walked into her table. Sango bent down to clean up the mess, when the other girl dropped onto her knees and began cleaning up the liquid herself. "I'm so sorry," She started, as Sango helped her clean up the mess. "I'll pay for everything, I promise!" She said as she continued cleaning the liquid.
"That really isn't necessary, don't worry about it." Sango offered, not caring if she paid for it or not.
Kagome put the napkins into the garbage as she shook her head at the other girl's offer. "I want to pay for it though. I wasn't paying attention and I walked into you, really it's my fault."
Sango nodded, excepting her argument, she just wasn't in the mood for arguing over something as simple as this. If she really felt like it was her fault, then so be it. "That's really considerate of you." Sango said gratefully. After a day like hers, this didn't seem bad at all.
"My name's Kagome." She said simply. "Are you here by yourself?" Kagome asked conversationally. If she was going to knock over someone's drink then she might as well make conversation too.
"Hai." Sango answered. "And my name is Sango." She said. Sango had never been a very conversational person and found it rather difficult to keep a conversation up.
After cleaning up the mess, Kagome wondered where the staff was at a time like this. She didn't mind taking care of the mess, but wasn't the staff supposed to be offering their services at a time like this? "I'm here with my friend." Kagome began, wondering when she had begun thinking or Inuyasha as a friend in the short time they've known each other. "Do you want to be here by yourself, or would you rather a little company?" She asked, always the polite one.
Sango smiled back timidly at the girl, wondering why she had never met such a warm person before. "Company would be nice, but I don't know that many people in Tokyo," She answered shyly.
"What a coincidence, I don't know that many people here either! Why don't you join my friend and I and then we can all have fun together?" Kagome wasn't only saying this to be nice, she really did want Sango to join them. After all, the best way to make friends was to be welcoming. Besides, like the old saying went, 'the more the merrier'. Hopefully Inuyasha wouldn't mind the extra company.
"That'd be great!" Sango said excitedly, finally finding the bright side to a rather gloomy day. She had never expected to get such a good offer from an almost complete stranger. She frowned for a second when she heard a growl from somewhere near by. They didn't let a dog into the café did they?
Kagome blushed a light red when she realized where the noise was coming from. "Do you think I can get a little something to eat before we go?" She asked, hoping that Sango wouldn't tease her.
"Of course you can." Sango said, once she realized what the noise had been. Now she knew that with such an easygoing person there wouldn't be any awkward conversations.
"Oi, Kagome!" Someone yelled from across the room, getting the attention of everyone in the café. Seeming to notice the attention, he smiled and headed over to where they were standing. "We going yet?" He asked, not seeing the other girl at all.
"I thought we'd eat a bit before leaving." She said politely, working to introduce Sango. "Inuyasha, I'd like you to meet Sango here." Kagome said, acting as the in between. "I told her she could join us for the rest of the day okay? Do you mind?"
Inuyasha looked at the familiar girl when he heard her name. So this was the girl that Kikyou wanted to get rid of. What were the chances that he'd see her here? "Not at all." Inuyasha answered with a shrug, maybe this way he'd learn something interesting about her. This might actually be a good time to introduce Kagome to one of his friends. He still had doubts, but even lechers like Miroku had his moments. He'd behave if Inuyasha said that he was in the presence of 2 good-looking ladies. His hand might wander a bit, but Inuyasha could always offer to castrate him if things got out of hand…
"You mind if I call one of my friend's over to even things out then?" Inuyasha asked, not particularly caring if she said yes or no. Either decision was good with him.
She nodded, grateful that Inuyasha hadn't objected to Sango joining them. "You call whoever you want." She answered.
Inuyasha being the 'gentleman' that he was, offered his hand to Sango. "Nice to meet you, my name's Inuyasha."
Sango smiled and took his hand, recognizing him as Kikyou's stepbrother. Her mother warned her to keep her distance, but if someone as sweet as Kagome was with him, he couldn't be that bad could he? "My name's Sango." She introduced, just in case he didn't remember her name.
He nodded and then walked to the side to call Miroku. Inuyasha dialed the number, impatiently waiting for him to pick up. "Sex God Miroku here, how may I help you?"
"Miroku, get caller ID you moron." Inuyasha growled.
"I do have caller ID, I'm just experimenting with responses. How was that one?"
"Not necessary."
"Your so uptight Inuyasha. You need to enjoy the time you have."
"I was calling to see if you wanted to get your ass down and meet this girl, but I guess you're too busy coming up with crappy names aren't you? That's all right, I'll just call someone els—"
"I'll be right there. What does she look like and how nice is her ass?" He asked quickly.
"Why the fuck would you ask me that? Come down and find out for yourself!" Inuyasha yelled into the receiver. Before Miroku could get another word in, Inuyasha hung up on him. He'd give Miroku the 'hands off' warning before meeting Kagome and Sango.
SLAP!
"What the hell is 'he' doing here?" Sango yelled, having felt the wandering hand of Miroku.
Kagome and Inuyasha and the rest of the customers in the café stared at the two. "You two know each other?" Inuyasha asked casually, trying to get past the awkward silence.
"Hai" Miroku answered, rubbing his sore cheek. "How could I not know such a lovely lady?"
Sango stared at the man suspiciously as she slowly started inching away. "Come near me and I'll bite you." She yelled threateningly.
Miroku smirked at her words. "Sango dear, I would never have suspected you to enjoy such things. Perhaps later I will even give you a spanking…" he said slyly.
"You lecher!" Sango screamed, getting hold of a butter knife.
Inuyasha pulled Miroku away, dragging him towards the door before Sango could do any permanent harm to anyone. He turned to Kagome and Sango and said one last thing before dragging the pervert out the front door. "You two finish your food while I have a talk with my 'friend' over here. I've already paid for everything so just come outside when you're finished."
Not waiting for a reply, Inuyasha dragged Miroku out of the café. "What the hell was that all about perv? Did you have to make a scene in front of everyone?"
Miroku smiled as he continued rubbing his cheek. "It was worth it. Why didn't you tell me dear Sango was here?"
"That's not the problem right now!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran a hand threw his hair. "Both of them are going to neuter you if you don't keep you fucking hands to yourself!"
"Right." Miroku said, getting the idea. "Believe me Inuyasha, it is my intention to keep my hands to myself. The execution itself still needs some work. Or rather lack of execution…"
"Whatever." Inuyasha muttered. "As long as you keep your hands and the rest of your body parts to yourself, then I don't care."
"I will take your words to heart Inuyasha." He said happily.
Just then, Sango and Kagome came out, talking as if they were old friends. Not giving Miroku a chance to screw up, Inuyasha spoke up. "Where would you two like to go now?"
Having talked this over earlier, Sango and Kagome both knew where they wanted to go. "We want to go play paintball."
The two boys stared at them in shock. "You actually want to play paintball?" Inuyasha asked, surprised that they actually wanted to play such a violent game. Sango he could understand, but not Kagome. She looked like such a sweet fragile girl.
"Sure." Kagome chirped in. "I've never played it before and it looks like fun."
Inuyasha smirked, wondering how he could take advantage of this situation. "Sounds good, but what's the fun in a game with no stakes, right Miroku?"
Miroku nodded as he slowly moved his way over to Sango's side. "I propose that we play in teams of two. Bets would make this a much interesting, would it not?"
Everyone nodded in agreement when a voice broke the silence. "Sango's my partner!" Yelled Kagome as she pulled Sango to her side.
"That's not fair!" Miroku complained immaturely, feelings having lost his chance to stand close to Sango.
Inuyasha glared at Kagome, also feeling injustice with the pairings. "I don't think it's…. fair that you two are teamed together while experts like me and Miroku are teamed together."
Sango glared at Inuyasha as she linked arms with Kagome. "Are you saying that you two are so much more stronger then us?"
He smirked as Kagome stuck out her tongue. "Let's be practical now, you've never even played paintball before Kagome."
"It doesn't matter," Said Kagome "We'll beat you two anyways."
Miroku laughed good-naturedly. "I am not one who is often into competition, but if the pairings do stay as they are, then I do believe Inuyasha is right. In other words, we're going going to kick your asses." He ended with a dark look in his eyes. Who would have ever thought Miroku was so competitive?
"You wish" Sango snorted, "Kagome and I are going to beat you guys and send you crying to your mommies."
"You sound so sure of yourself." Inuyasha said slyly. "Why don't we make a little wager while we're at it?"
"I'm willing." Kagome answered excitedly, having never wagered on anything before. "Now are we talking about money or what?"
"Not money." Miroku answered. "I'm quite sure that we all have enough of that."
Everyone agreed with the terms when Inuyasha directed a statement towards Kagome. "If I win then you go out on a date with me."
Everybody went quiet as Kagome contemplated accepting his offer. It seemed fair, and Inuyasha seemed so patient with her. She had been quite rude to him on the first day and he still wanted to talk to her. "I'm willing, but if I win then you have to take me to the mall, and you have to do whatever I want you to do for one whole day." Not feeling very imaginative, she went for the total control bet.
He nodded his head in silent agreement to her wishes, feeling that he'd already won.
"That's not a fair bet!" Sango complained "What about Miroku and me? Is this bet just supposed to be between you and Inuyasha?"
"Sango dear," Miroku started smoothly. "Why don't we agree to the same wager as Inuyasha and his friend? The wager might lead to something more… exciting then just a date." He replied, hoping she understood what he was implying.
Being the person she was, Sango didn't pay any mind to his words not hearing the hidden message. "Me go out on a date with a lecher like you? I don't think so." She said with a snort.
"Be reasonable Sango, a date is nothing more then a get together of two willing people." Miroku said patiently, trying to persuade her.
Sango crossed her arms as she thought about the offer. It wasn't a bad deal, having total control of Miroku for one whole day? Sounded interesting enough to her. This day was just getting better by the minute. First she made a new friend and now she had the chance to spend some outside time with Miroku… She wasn't going to admit it to anyone, but that was the only thing she truly wanted. After all, Sango did need some time with him to decide just exactly what she felt towards him. She had mixed feelings about him and she wanted to be sure about him before taking action.
"Deal. Exact same thing as Kagome's, if I win you have to do whatever I say for one whole day." Sango said, agreeing to the terms set.
Miroku grinned from ear to ear. "I would never have thought you to be so dominant Sango, I must admit that it is rather enjoya—"
He was not able to finish his sentence as a brownie was shoved into his mouth. "Will you shut your mouth Miroku?" Asked Inuyasha irritatedly, having found better use of Kagome's unfinished snack.
"The place should be near here, so if we leave now we can stay probably an hour or so." Inuyasha answered, having been there a few times in the past. He started heading for his car, motioning for Kagome to follow.
"Inuyasha wait!" Kagome yelled, wanting him to stop. "Do you have a ride Sango, or would you like to come in Inuyasha's car with us?" She asked kindly, wanting her new friend to be perfectly comfortable. For someone whom she'd just met, Kagome was surprised at the level with which she trusted Sango. They had only talked to each other for half an hour or so and Kagome felt like they had known each other for years.
Sango nodded her head, grateful for the offer. Kagome had been so nice ever since they first met, Sango wondered where else she could meet such a good friend. "That would be great if I could go with you guys."
Kagome smiled and started in the direction of Inuyasha's car with Sango in tow. Miroku followed behind them, quickly walking ahead to walk alongside Inuyasha.
"What the fuck? You're coming too? Why can't you take your own car?" Inuyasha asked, already pissed that Sango would be coming along.
Miroku chewed the brownie carefully, as he tried to think of a plausible lie. "I dropped my car off at the shop on the way here." He said easily, having finished the brownie.
"Great, this is going to be fun!" Kagome announced, opening the door to Inuyasha's car. "I'll sit in the front with Inuyasha while you two can sit in the back okay?" Not giving either of them time to answer, Kagome climbed into the front seat.
Staring in shock, Sango glared at Miroku, not trusting him to keep his hands to himself. "This is my side of the car, and this is your side of the car. Understand pervert?" Sango asked menacingly.
Miroku merely nodded, content being near her. "Before we leave I must ask you one question Kagome."
"Yes?" Kagome asked curious as to what Miroku would say.
"What type of lip gloss are you wearing Kagome? I smell the distinct aroma of fruit, but I'm not sure what fruit it is. Could you perhaps clear up this dilemma for me?" Miroku asked, not noticing the weird looks the other three were sending him.
"Why are you so curious Miroku?" Kagome asked politely, not wanting to insult him.
"No reason in particular." Miroku said with a shrug. "It just smells similar to what Sango wears." He said with a wink towards Sango.
Feeling the urge to pry, Kagome gave in. "And how do you know what kind of lip gloss Sango wears?"
Miroku winked to Kagome as Inuyasha started up the car. "Sango and I were enjoying each others company one day and we got a little close…" He answered slyly, enjoying Sango's discomfort.
"Shut up Houshi!" Sango warned with a blush. "We have never gotten so close as to let you kiss me." She said, trying to cover up her red face. Sango continued ranting on as Kagome tuned her out.
Kagome leaned over to Inuyasha. "Has your friend always been so… hands on?" She asked curiously.
Inuyasha snorted, as he turned left. "Unfortunately."
"Don't you think that he really likes Sango though? Look at him, he never takes his eyes away from her." Kagome said softly, finding this absolutely adorable. She cocked her head to the side as Sango hit Miroku over the head with her shoe. "I think she likes him too." Kagome said, watching the two for a while longer.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, focusing on the road. "Look at how violent she is, that's a great way of showing how much she likes him."
She shook her head and his comments, wondering at the naivety of men. "It's obvious that she's just too shy to tell him. I think she's scared his hands will wander to others."
Inuyasha's mouth fell open. "You got all that from this?" he asked, motioning his head in the direction of the violent couple at the back.
Kagome giggled, watching as the couple ended with Sango sitting in Miroku's lap. Wanting to keep the peace, Kagome decided to interrupt them. "How about I put on the radio? Any suggestions?" She asked hopefully.
"Anything that Sango would like to listen to." Miroku answered, hoping to distract her from leaving his lap.
"Sango?" Kagome asked, wanting to put on some music.
She thought about it for a minute before deciding. "Anything accept rock Kagome." Having not been able to decide, Sango just shrugged having thought that she hadn't helped at all. "Why don't you just put on one of Inuyasha's CDs?" She asked, hoping that would be more of a help.
Kagome nodded at her suggestion and pressed the play button, wondering what CD was in the player. She listened for a second, thinking this was just the introduction when she turned to look at Inuyasha incredulously. "You listen to classical music."
Everyone stared at Inuyasha as he turned a light pink. "Yeah what of it? It's better then all the loud crap I here on the radio all the time."
Kagome nodded, accepting his answer. "I just never thought of you as someone who listened to classical music is all." She said listening to the music a bit.
Inuyasha looked away, not wanting her to see his pink tinged face. "Doesn't matter, we're here." He said.
Reading the sign put up, Inuyasha started his car up again.
"Hey, aren't we here?" Kagome asked, clueless as to why they were leaving again.
"Didn't you read the sign? It's closed for some renovations." He answered, not particularly caring.
"So what do we do now?" Sango asked from the back, still not aware of the fact that she was in Miroku's lap.
Inuyasha thought about it for a bit. "We could always go to Laser Quest. It's the same thing was paintball, except with guns."
They drove to laser quest with minimal problems. Mostly the problems centered Miroku and Sango, seeing as Inuyasha was the driver and he needed to focus.
Finally arriving, Sango pushed Miroku out of the car. "It is not my fault that you find my lap so comfortable Sango!" He said in his defense as he was pushed out.
Kagome rolled her eyes as she walked ahead with Inuyasha. Sango was her new friend, but she seemed to be having so much fun with Miroku. Sango seemed to know Miroku so much more and Kagome wanted to give her the chance to get to know him more. Outwardly she acted like she hated him, but Kagome was pretty sure she was right about Sango.
The four walked into the building and came to the sight of children running around and yelling. "Inuyasha…" Kagome started nervously. "Are you sure this is the right place, we look kind of old here don't you think?"
"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha said reassuringly. "These kids are a lot better at these kind of games then you think."
Kagome frowned slightly as she stared at the cute little kids, wondering how they had so much more experience then her. She shrugged deciding that she'd learn eventually anyway. Besides, winning didn't matter, it was the experience that counted.
Something small ran into Kagome, making her lose her train of thought. She looked down to see a bush of red hair. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked.
"Of course I'm am." Said the child indignantly as he puffed up his chest.
Inuyasha picked up the kid by his collar as he snarled lightly. "You should be more polite to the lady kid. The least you could do is apologize."
"I don't have to do anything I don't want to, you big jerk!" yelled the kid as he fought against Inuyasha's hold.
"Inuyasha, let him down." Kagome scolded, as she looked at the child. "He's just a kid Inuyasha, no need to be so rude."
"Feh." Inuyasha huffed quietly as he dropped the kid. "He should learn some manners while he's still young."
The kid crossed his arms as he kicked Inuyasha's shins. "So what, your old, you're supposed to be a role model for other kids." He said, sticking out his tongue.
"He is right you know." Replied Kagome. "But you shouldn't be so rude either." She said, directing her words and the child. "Now Inuyasha, I want you to apologize." Kagome said in a stern voice.
Now he had had enough, why should he have to do everything she said. "Why do I have to say sorry? The kid's the one that walked into you."
Kagome nudged him as she smiled at the small kid. "You need to set a good example for him to follow." She said in reply to his question.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, 'She better be worth it after all this crap' he thought as he crossed his arms. "Sorry for threatening to beat you up kid." He said, not caring so much if he accepted his 'apology' or not.
"Hey!" The kid cried as he glared up at Inuyasha. "That's not a real apology!"
Kagome glared at him as she patted the child's head. "Inuyasha's a bit slow sometimes. Maybe you can apologize and show Inuyasha the right way to do it." She said with a thin smile.
He smiled up at Kagome, deciding that she was right about Inuyasha. "I'm sorry for walking into you." He said politely, only apologizing to Kagome.
"What about me kid?" Inuyasha said with a growl.
He shrugged as he stuck his tongue out. "She said I had to apologize, she just didn't say to who." He said smugly.
"Ignore him, Inuyasha." Kagome said firmly before Inuyasha got another chance to fight with a little kid. "My name's Kagome, what's yours?"
"My name's Shippou." He replied politely. "My friend's having his party here today and I was invited."
"I wonder why." Inuyasha retorted quietly, while Kagome shot him dirty looks.
"That's great, my friends and I are here to have a little fun." She offered warmly. Shippou was just such a cute kid, he reminded Kagome of her brother still back in Hiroshima.
"Great! Just go pay and signup with your names and everyone else will be waiting at the door." Shippou said, hoping to be of some help to Kagome.
Kagome waved as he walked off to his friends when she turned to glare at Inuyasha. "He's just a kid, do you have to set such a bad example?"
Trying to keep a fight from breaking out again, Sango interrupted the two. "Let's get ourselves signed up, wouldn't want to keep the kids waiting now would you?" She asked nervously as she grabbed Kagome and started walking to the counter.
"Umm, we'd like to sign up for 4 people please." Kagome said as she smiled at the employee.
"I be Helga. I help you serve today, yes?" She said brokenly.
"Hai." Sango said, deciding that Helga was most likely new to the country.
"What name using will you be choosing?" She asked in her monotone voice.
"Why don't you two go first while me and Sango decide?" Kagome suggested, needing a little time to choose a name.
Miroku and Inuyasha nodded as they went in front of the two. "My name will be Sex God Miroku." He said as he dazzled Helga with a brilliant smile.
Sango gasped at his name, glaring even as she turned a light pink. "Do you think that's an appropriate name Miroku?" She asked.
"Nonsense, Sango. Who would possibly object to it?" He said good-naturedly.
Interrupting the two, Helga agreed with Miroku. "Is alright, name is perfectly fine if not long."
Sango nodded, unsure as Inuyasha gave his name. "Bad boy." He said, not going for creativity.
"Sexy name." Helga replied, eyeing Inuyasha a little.
Kagome glared as she felt a twinge of jealousy. Why did it matter if Inuyasha was being eyed by some foreign bitc--. What was wrong with her, jealousy? She'd just met the arrogant, no-good egotistical bastard and here she was jealous? Kagome shook her head at the idea of being attracted to him, she barely knew him. Pushing the thought away, Kagome tried to think of a good name for the game.
Seeing Inuyasha and Miroku waiting, Kagome blurted out the first name that came to mind. "Laser Women." She said, as she felt like smacking herself on the head. Kagome blushed red as she received questioning looks from her companions. She just shrugged as she found an interesting spot on the floor to stare at.
"What will last women be?" Helga asked, waiting for the last one.
"Kirara" She said with a smile, thinking about her little kitty cat. Who cared about imagination when you had a cute cat like Kirara? Seeing no complaints with her name, they got ready and were read the rules.
"We're going to kick your asses!" Miroku said as he held up his gun, his competitive nature getting the best of him.
"Go!" yelled the judge, as everyone was given 60 seconds to hide.
"On a cold day in hell!" Sango yelled back as they all parted and ran their separate ways.
"Kagome! It's me Sango, you have to aim for Inuyasha and Miroku, not me!"
"Eheheh, sorry I thought you were Inuyasha…"
"Damn it Miroku, I'm not Sango. Stop touching my ass!"
"Your right, your ass isn't firm enough to be Sango's."
WHACK!
"Inuyasha, you use the guns to shoot people, must you hit me with it?"
"Stop shooting me Kagome!"
"I'm sorry, I keep doing it by accident."
"That's it, I get to shoot you once now, stay still."
"… Kagome, don't run away! I was only kidding!"
"Touch me one more time and I'm going to castrate you Houshi!"
"It was a mere slip of the hand Inuyasha, nothing to harm you."
"You gave me a fucking purple nurple Miroku."
"…"
"Inuyasha, I think I've spotted Sango to your left, shoot!"
WHACK!
"I've already insisted you stop abusing me with your gun Inuyasha."
"Oops, my hands slipped…"
"Kagome?"
"Run!"
"Oof."
"Sorry, I didn't see you there Inuyasha."
"Bitch, I saw you stick your leg all the way out."
"Don't call me a bitch, bastard."
"Wench"
WHACK!!! SMACK!!! SLURP…
"What the hell was that for? I could've gotten a concussion from that!"
Sniff sniff "I'm sorry 'sniff' I just 'sniff sniff' I didn't mean to!"
"Damn it, Kagome don't cry!"
"This is so not fair!"
"Quick guys, surround them, make a circle! Just keep shooting guys, think of all the points we'll get."
"No wonder there are so many children soldiers, do you see how violent they are?"
"Look on the bright side Sango, at least we're togethe--- Oow! That kid bit me!"
"Miroku… It's times like these that we need to… RUN!"
The game quickly ended as everyone exited through the door. All battered and bruised were the four as they made their way out. Not only did they learn how violent kids were, but they also learned that cheating was so much easier then playing fair.
"That was fun." Kagome said, thinking about everything that happened. "I think we should play again."
Before anyone could answer her, the referee started giving out the scorecards.
"In first place is Kitsune!" All the kids cheered as Shippou went up to get his card.
"And in second place is Fat boy!" There were cheers and snickers all around as everyone wait for fat boy to come up.
"Do you not want card?" Helga asked, standing directly in front of Inuyasha.
"But that's not---" he started, only to be cut off.
"That is you, I put you as you want." She insisted, pushing Inuyasha to the front.
Inuyasha shrugged, second place was pretty good seeing as everyone tried to sabotage him.
"Fifth place is, yo mama!" The referee yelled as all the kids bursted out laughing.
Sango looked around, wondering who would choose such a funny name when Helga nudged her. "Is you, go up and claim."
She turned a beet red as she shook her head. "My name was Kirara, that's not even close to—"
"It you, I know, I wrote!" Helga replied insistently as she went to receive her score sheet.
"Sixteenth place is Sock God Miroku." Was the call as Miroku immediately when up to get his score sheet. His name was in it so it was obviously his, despite the fact that it was obviously misspelled.
"Placed at eleventh is Laser Woman!" He yelled as Kagome blushed and went to receive her sheet.
After all the scores had been shown, Inuyasha and the other three began to leave when Helga approached them.
"Would sexy like to join Helga for dinner? It would be pleasurable, yes?" She asked with a sensuous smile on her face. Despite her slightly challenged Japanese, her physical form was nothing to scoff at. She was a true beauty. Inuyasha smirked back and was about to answer when Kagome interrupted him.
"Inuyasha can't join you for dinner because he has better things to do. I think it'd be best if you just left him alone." She said, glaring and the foreign girl.
Helga laughed, tears almost coming out of her eyes. "You think I speak to him? No, no, you are mistaken. I talk with you girl."
Kagome squeaked as Helga finished her sentence. "I, I- I'm sorry, but- but I have—ummm, you see I have—"
"What she means to say is that she and 'I' are together." Inuyasha said smoothly, almost dying of laughter.
Kagome nodded eagerly at the excuse he had given her, not comfortable with the situation at all. It wasn't that she was against homosexuality, it was just the fact that she would never expect another women to hit on her. Ever. As hilarious as it was to everyone else, Kagome was still recovering from her initial shock. What were the chances?
Having finished laughing, Inuyasha wiped away the tears and looked back up and Kagome. "So, I guess I beat you huh?"
She crossed her arms and glared at him. "That wasn't fair though, Miroku 'touched' me. He traumatized me!" Kagome complained.
"Ha!" Miroku laughed as he glared lightly at Kagome. "But you threw your gun at me. I might have gotten hurt!"
"I didn't throw my gun at you!" Kagome replied none to convincingly.
"Yeahh, well you tripped me." Said Inuyasha, butting into the conversation.
The three continued arguing back and forth while Sango looked at all of the score cards, adding the team's rankings together. "You guys!" she yelled, trying to get there attention, but instead being ignored.
Feeling it was better to get one person's attention then none, Sango sighed and yelled, "Look, BOOBS!"
Quickly Miroku turned, searching everywhere for them. Finding none, he turned to Sango in puzzlement. "Where?" Sango shook her and smacked him over the head with her hand.
"Stop complaining wench, you tripped me and then threw your gun at me!" He yelled, having a much better argument then Kagome. Not giving her a chance to reply, Inuyasha kept going. "And just because you couldn't shoot my sensors gives you no right to aim 'down below'" He said, hoping she got his drift.
She stuck her tongue out, glaring at him. "No one told me anything about sensors, with real guns you can shoot anywhere."
Not giving a chance for either of them to say anymore, Sango jumped in. "Well, none of that matters because Kagome and I win! You were in 2nd and Miroku was in 16th so that makes a total of 18. I was in 5th and Kagome was in 11th so we got 16." Said Sango, having found the solution.
Inuyasha shrugged as he went back to ignoring anyone. "If it's anyone's fault then it's the lechers!" He retorted, pointing at the body on the floor.
Kagome smiled as she and Sango picked up Miroku and headed for the car. "Doesn't matter, because we won and tomorrow you have to do everything we say."
The girl's stiffened, realizing that Miroku had been awake the whole time. A loud smack was heard as Miroku flew through the air. The three got into the car and waited for Miroku to get up and walk over. Seeing as Inuyasha blamed him for losing and the girls blamed him for being a pervert… Inuyasha stepped on the gas every time Miroku got near the car, thus making him walk more.
"This is inhumane!" He yelled as he tried to catch the car.
"Suck it up lecher, we might be at it for a while."
"How is Sango progressing so far?" Kagura asked, eager to know of any improvements.
"She's doing quite well. Sango just needs to learn a few minor things and she's set." Kikyou said with a big fake smile plastered on her face. She had absolutely had no hope for the silly little girl. Kikyou's tongue still ached from her little meeting with Sango earlier that day. The bitch would pay for biting her, she would make sure of it.
Kagura smiled brightly, glad that things were going well. "If there are no problems then why have you scheduled this meeting with me? I'm a very important person at I need to get things done." She said, dismissing the thought that maybe Kikyou had other important things to do also.
"There is only one small problem." She started, seething on the inside at the thought of someone thinking they were better then her. She would be humiliated along side her daughter, Kikyou had no time for self-important bitches like Kagura. "Sometimes Sango doesn't focus as well as I think she is capable of." She said sweetly.
"Is there perhaps a love interest in her life? That might be the reason why she does not wish things to progress with Sesshoumaru." Everything was just all too easy. Get Sango's mom all paranoid and suspicious and then she'd get Sango ready for rebellion. Kikyou had went through most of these stages all ready and felt it was the easiest way to get back at the girl. Kikyou was just too smart for her own good sometimes, everything just somehow always went her way.
Kagura paused as she listened to Sango's words. "What are you saying, my daughter's seeing someone else?" She said in an enraged tone. 'How dare the girl imply that her daughter was doing such a thing.'
"Mrs. Mika, please don't act so rashly." She said in a worried tone. As must as she enjoyed all this anger, Kikyou preferred it being directed at someone else rather then her. "I'm not sure of the people in your daughter's life, that is why I'm asking you these questions. There's no need to yell." She said peacefully, hoping the bitch could stay quiet until she was done.
Kagura gritted her teeth as she tried to calm herself down. This had definitely not been part of her plan, there wasn't supposed to be another man in Sango's life, Kagura had made sure of it. "How do you know that Sango's seeing someone else?" she asked suspiciously.
Already having her entire story planned, Kikyou began. "I was cleaning up Sango's room a bit after she had left, the maids did a terrible job." She started, trying to keep things light. "I was putting books back on the shelf when I noticed some paper behind the boomerang ornament." She said innocently, acting as if she hadn't purposely tried to find it. "I pulled the paper out and they turned out to be love letters from a certain secret admirer." She ended, holding out the notes. Kikyou had thought of keeping Sango's little affair out of things for now, but the girl had bit her tongue, she deserved a little revenge.
Kagura grabbed the letters and skimmed through the text, before throwing them onto the floor. This was unacceptable and Kagura had to put an end to this now. "Exactly what do you think I should do about this problem Kikyou" She asked, seeking the younger girl's advice.
Kikyou smiled to herself and folded her hands in her lap. "First I think it'd be best if you kept me out of this. Sango trust me so far and I think it'd be in your best interest to keep the fact that I found the letters just between the both of us. " Seeing Kagura nod, she continued. "Next I think it'd be best if Miroku was fired and told never to come near her again. You will need to be firm with Sango on the grounds that she is not to see him again, that she will get in trouble if she does. I will help her get over him and then things will start running smoothly again." She said with a kind smile on her face.
Acting probably would have been a favorable career for Kikyou, it just came naturally, along with lying, cheating and playing with others emotions. It was a wonder that Inuyasha was the one sent to a therapist and not her.
"Thank you for your advice Kikyou, I'll do exactly as you say as long as it ensures a better future for Sango." She said, scrunching up the papers in her hand. "She will win Sesshoumaru over, even if I have to lock her up in her room." With those words, Kagura stood up and started leaving the room. "Stay as long as you like Kikyou, I trust you know where the door is."
With those parting words, Kikyou stood up and smiled happily at herself. "What fun." She whispered with a laugh. Had always been fun to ruin people, and no one ever knew it was her. Things just seemed to get easier and easier the older she got. She hummed a little tune as she left the dreadful manor. Kikyou looked out for no one but herself, and that wouldn't change until the day hell froze over.
