Wow! I can't believe that I actually have four reviews!! Even better! We
have a five-day weekend that started yesterday so I'm going to try and
update twice. Again, answers will be at the bottom of the chapter. And
now.... The next chapter of Neighborly Love!
Title: Neighborly Love Author: Zigi Chapter: Three
"Inu-Inu-...." He stuttered, his mouth going slack.
"Long time no see, eh Miroku?" smirked Inuyasha, leaning back against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Um... Yeah..." said Miroku, trying to pull himself together. Kagome looked curious. Surely Miroku would be ecstatic at meeting a friend from long ago... right? "So..." said Miroku, leaning against the door frame in an attempt to remain calm. "How are you?"
"Oh I'm fine," said Inuyasha, waving a hand in the air lightly. "except for the fact that someone I know just seemingly vanished right after high school." Continued Inuyasha, his voice starting to rise.
"N-now Inuyasha... let's not get rash here," stuttered Miroku, waving his hands defensively.
"Do you know," Inuyasha boomed. "How long and hard I have been looking for you! I'm mean, you were my ONLY friend besides Sango in high school! Aren't best friends supposed to write if they move away?!" Miroku gulped loudly.
"Well... I had a reason!" stated Miroku. Inuyasha snorted.
"Oh yea? And what would that be?" Miroku faltered. He looked strained, like there was something that he wanted to say but couldn't.
"Nothing. I can't tell you." He said plainly, his eyes shadowing slightly. Inuyasha blinked. "I didn't even tell Sango."
"Can't tell – "he started. Then Inuyasha laughed." Oh I get it! This is another of your jokes right? I haven't seen you since high school but I still remember those." Inuyasha went over to Miroku and slapped him in the back. "S'ok buddy, why not let us start over again. You remember how we first met?" Miroku gulped, his face turning red.
"Yup." He said hoarsely.
"I still have the red mark on my back." Said Inuyasha.
Kagome was starting to feel left out. She was standing with three people who all seemingly know each other and felt like a part of the background. Ok, time to jump in!
"What happened?" asked Kagome, her curiosity getting the better of her once again. This time, Sango's face started to turn red as well as Miroku's. Inuyasha smirked and took a pen out of Miroku's coat pocket.
"The first person I actually met at school was Sango." Said Inuyasha, absentmindedly flipping the pen in his hand. "She was the only nice person I had met so far, so I stayed to chat with her. I was leaning on one of the lockers which must have looked like I was trying to hit on her."
"Well," said Inuyasha, looking over to Miroku who was now flaming red." It just so happened that Sango was having a bad day. So she looked pretty pissed. Suddenly I feel this very hard jab in my back and turn to see Miroku, his pen," Inuyasha held up the pen. "Lodged into my back."
Kagome could hold it in for much longer.
"You jabbed him in the back?!" gasped Kagome, shock written all over her face.
"It was an accident." Mumbled Miroku, snatching the pen back from Inuyasha. "And besides, all I meant to do was to tap him on the shoulder with it. I tripped when I got close and my hand went flying."
"Apparently," said Inuyasha, who looked at Sango." He was going to stick up for his girlfriend." Kagome gaped. Girlfriend? Sango and Miroku were a couple once?!
"You – you can't be serious... I mean... They're always bickering!" said Kagome, trying to be reasonable.
"Oh you mean they still do that?" asked Inuyasha.
"Um... I think I hear Koga calling... Bye!" stuttered Sango, rushing out of the room as fast as possible.
"Yes, um... I have to attend to my patients... Kagome, your chart is on the front desk." Said Miroku quickly, scrambling out as well.
"Well, that was a lovely reunion." Said Inuyasha, stretching out his arms and collapsing into a chair. Kagome sat down as well, taking one of the mugs of coffee Miroku had brought in.
"They never told me about their relationship." Said Kagome, slowly sipping at the hot liquid.
"Well, they really didn't say anything about it either. In high school, they would always deny anything but the entire school knew they were together." Said Inuyasha, snatching the other mug. Silence filled the small room until an announcement made both of them jump slightly.
"Kagome Higurashi, please report to the front desk."
"Oops, that's me." Said Kagome sheepishly, putting down the now empty mug. "Umm... "
"Oh it's ok," said Inuyasha." I'll wait here so when Miroku comes back I can tease him mercilessly." Kagome grinned awkwardly and as she closed the door, let out a sigh. It was only the morning and she was already on information overdrive.
