Hello! I think this is the most review's I've gotten on the first chap of a story. Now, Review replies! I'm not gonna put what they wrote.
Lady Lilacks: Thanks for your positive review. I hope you continue to read and give me tips on my writing. I'm glad you think I'm a great writer, 'cause I don't think I'm that great. I'm a 2-bit writer trying to be someone! I hope it's as promising as you think, (sorry, I skip around a lot during my reply's.) If you read the first chapter again, which you probably won't, I wouldn't, you'll notice that I changed some stuff and down toned the info. I am basically going on Sango and Kohaku's relationship by what I wish I had. I goy a sister instead of a brother, and were not really close. We fight all the time and hardly ever compromise. You don't have to be sorry, I know that your review wasn't a flame, a flame would be something like this,
"You're the worst writer ever! Why did you even get on ? You can't write! You might as well go back where you came from!" That's a flame. Your review was what I call a much-needed constructive criticism. Thanks for reviewing! P.S. I'm gonna read your story and review. You can't be that bad of an author. I've read some really bad ones in my years onherebefore I got an account. (scary!)
Nessa03: Thanks for the encouragement ! Keep reading and reviewing!
FlameKittiKitti: Thanks also P! Good luck with your interviews to become a singer!
P.S. Love your name!
sam spur: I'm glad you like it, and you'll receive an email from me as soon as this chapter is finished!
SanMirLover421: Would I pair Sango with anyone else? Keep R and R-ing
Thanks to all who reviewed! Keep reading and reviewing!
Nobody Til' You
Ch. 2
The End of Sango's Normal Life
Sango ran back to the couch and flopped down on it, tucking her legs under her. She kicked off her shoes and took of her jacket, laying it on the back of the couch. She held the one button on the phone until Kagome's number showed. She released the one button and pressed talk. The phone began ringing.
(Bring) (Bring) (Bri-)
"Hello, Sunset Shrine. Higurashi residents." Someone answered.
"Hello Mr. Higurashi. Is Kagome there?" Sango asked politely
"Sango? Yes Kagome's here, hold on." Grandpa Higurashi told her. Shouting could be heard and then nothing.
"Hello? Sango are you still there?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I'm still here."
"Okay. -Gasp- How did the interview go? Are you signed with them? Tell me!" Sango laughed before spilling out her story to Kagome, going into full detail. For some reason, Kagome squealed after Sango was done telling her.
"What are you squealing about?"
"-Squeal- I get to help you find a boyfriend-squeal-"
"Err..If it means that much to you." Sango said sweatdropping.
"I'm going to start right now, scheduling dates for you-squeal- This is so exciting!" Kagome said gleefully into the phone. There was another voice on Kagome's end and Kagome replied.
"I have to go Sango, Souta lost Buyo, again. How about we meet at Bath and Body Works when you go to work?"
"Okay, that's fine with me. You bring Souta and I'll bring Kohaku. Bye Kagome."
"Okay. Bye.-click-" Sango turned the phone off and laid it on the coffee table. Kohaku was waiting patiently for her the pick up the second controller and build herself a car. Sango slid to the floor to sit beside Kohaku. She picked up the controller and made a light pink car with dark pink flames on the sides. She added front, rear, and side skirts on the car. She gave it a wing and spinners. Sango also added hydraulics and nitro. She finished up and hit start.
The race started. It was sprint. Sango looked at Kohaku's car. It was aqua with dark yellow flames on the side.
"Best 3 out of 5 Sango," Kohaku told her, "sprint, circuit, drift, drag, and outrun."
"Awesome. But, I'm still gonna win!" Sango said smirking at him. The race started with Kohaku in the lead. He hit a car and Sango was in the lead. Sango won and they went to the next race. Kohaku won the circuit, Sango won the drift and Kohaku won the drag. Kohaku knew he was going to lose the outrun, Sango was the best because she had a lot of nitro, while he had little. So, Sango won and Kohaku owed her.
"Mwuhahaha! Go fix us lunch! I won, you have to cook me lunch! Mwhahaha!"
"Yeah, if I cook for you, you'll get complementary spit in yours." He said grumbling, shuffling to the kitchen, Sango right behind him.
"You better watch out, I'll put ex-lax in yours!"
"Sango, we don't own any ex-lax!"
"Yes, but I'll go buy some! What then? Mwuhahaha!" Sango said sitting at the table rubbing her hands together evilly. Kohaku rolled his eyes and pulled hotdogs out of the refrigerator. He put three in the microwave. Kohaku pulled out some condiments and hotdog buns and set them on the table. He took two paper plates and set one in front of Sango and one where he was going to sit. He went back to the fridge and pulled out a coke for himself and a Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper for Sango.
"Wow Kohaku! Your breaking out the fine china aren't ya?" Sango asked laughing. Kohaku set the drinks down. Sango took hers and opened it taking a long drink.
"Heck yeah! Only the best for my special guest!" Kohaku said in mock seriousness with one hand over his heart, the other one taking the hotdogs out.
"I feel so special. -sniff-" Sango played along, wiping an imaginary tear away. Kohaku set the hotdogs down, taking two for himself.
"Hey!" Sango protested. Kohaku looked up from where he was getting ready to put ketchup on his hotdog.
"What?"
"I want 2 too!" Sango said grabbing the last one and putting it on her plate. Kohaku blinked at her before taking both hotdogs and licking them all over.
"Now do you want mine?" Sango looked at him in horror.
"I can't believe you just did that! That just sick! Of course I don't want it now! You licked it! Ugghh!" Sango said grabbing the ketchup, mustard, her drink, and a bun. She took the items and turned her back to Kohaku, putting her arms around the stuff protectively.
"Stay away you evil hotdog licker! Oh my gosh! You molested a hotdog!" Sango said in shock and horror. She quickly put her hotdog on the bun. She put ketchup in one side and mustard on the other. She ate it taking small but quick bites of her hotdog.
"There, now my hotdog is safe from you." Sango said eating the last bite of her hotdog. She took the paper plate and threw it away. Sango picked up the buns and condiments. She put them in their proper places.
She went to the living room and picked up her scattered items. She walked to her room and deposited the items to their proper places. Sango sighed. She went to her closet and pulled out some dress slacks for work. Sango took her skirt off and put the slacks on. The white shirt she was wearing would be fine for work. Sango grabbed her boots and pulled her car keys out of her purse on the way out to go back to the living room. She glanced at the living room clock. '1:30? How did it get so late?' Sango thought. She sat down on the couch and slipped her boots on. Sango peeked her head into the kitchen where Kohaku was putting his paper plate in the sink.
"I'm going to work Kohaku. You want to come with me? You can hang out with Souta. Kagome's supposed to meet me there."
"Fine, let me change into something else." Kohaku said walking past her to his room. He came back 5 minutes later to see Sango sitting on the couch.
"I'm ready." Kohaku said stepping toward the door. He was dressed in jeans, sneakers, and dark blue hoodie.
"Let's go then." Sango told him opening the door.
"Oh, wait! My cell phone!" Sango said running to her room and digging it out of her purse. She hooked it on her pants and went back to where Kohaku was waiting.
"Are we ready now?" Kohaku asked.
"Yes, we are." Sango replied walking out the door. Kohaku walked out the door behind her. Sango let him move in front of her so she could turn around and lock the door. She locked the door and they went down the steps and to the car.
"Hey Kohaku, you wanna drive?"
"Yeah!"
"How about...NO!" Sango said laughing at him as she got in on the driver's side.
"You're so mean to me." Kohaku complained getting in on the passenger's side. After Sango started the car, Kohaku began fiddling with the knobs on the radio. Sango sighed and drove away.
"Don't you have any good stations?" Kohaku complained still changing the stations.
"Yes, go to 102.9 the buzz" He flipped it over to a different station and Sango just rolled her eyes heavenward. Kohaku began singing along with the radio. Sango winced. He didn't have the best singing voice in the world. Okay, truth? After all his years of being around Sango you would think he would have picked up on how to actually sing. Wrong! He sounded like a dying cat!
Sango thanked god when they finally reached the mall. Correction, overly packed mall. It was jammed packed and angry people were everywhere, and this was just the parking lot. Sango circled the lot 3 times before she saw a SUV right up front leaving. She motioned it out and it backed up and sped as fast as it could away from the mall parking lot. Sango pulled in and heaved a sigh of relief. They still had 15 minutes for her to get to work. She shut the car off and handed the keys to Kohaku.
"What are you giving these to me for? Oh, you want me to drive after all?" He asked, a smile lighting his face.
"No, I don't have any pockets to put them in. When I get to work you have to give them back. My uniform has pockets." Sango said getting out. Kohaku sighed and got out too. He walked around to the other side of the car and stood by Sango.
"Are we going?"
"Yeah, just waiting on you." Sango replied beginning to walk toward the entrance of the mall.
Inside the mall it was a complete and utter madhouse. Sango felt Kohaku grab her arm.
"What, you scared?" She asked teasing him.
"No, I have your keys remember. And I don' t want to get lost." Kohaku replied as Sango began walking through the throng of people, Kohaku still clutching her arm tightly.
By the time they made it through the mall and to Bath and Body Works, Sango had one minute to be there. Sango searched the place for Kagome. Her eyes were met with an excited Kagome dragging a disgruntled Souta around. Kagome was running around smelling all of the scents. Her unruly raven hair smacking Souta in the face as she literally ran to every scent station. Her coffee brown eyes laughed and danced with delight. She suddenly turned around and spotted Sango.
"Sango! Over here!" She called out waving her hand wildly in the air as to get her attention. Sango laughed and ran over to her. Kohaku had finally let go of her arm and was following her over to Souta.
"What's up Souta?" Kohaku asked giving Souta a high-five.
"Nothin' much. Let's blow this joint!" Souta said racing toward the entrance of the shop.
"Let's go! Here's your keys sis!" He called throwing her car keys at her. She caught the keys.
"Don't do anything stupid! And stay away from Hibbets Sports store!" Sango called after the two young boys as they vanished into the crowd of people.
"I remember what happened last time. They picked up some of the weights and somehow managed to knock the weight rack over. Little brats." Kagome said staring after them.
"Yep, they are brats most of the time. I have to put my work apron on, will you wait for me by the counter?" Sango asked Kagome as she made her way to the back where workers wereonly allowed.
"Sure." Kagome said standing at the cash register,still smiling .
Sango came back out. She glanced around. It was her and Leana today. She was with a customer, so Sango decided she would run the register. Sango's eyes roamed the shop as she looked for the now missing Kagome. She found Kagome at the coconut scent department. Sango sighed, walking from behind the counter and over to Kagome.
"Kagome...Your supposed to be helping me, not yourself." Sango said grabbing her arm and dragging her back to the registers.
"Bu-but Sango!" She whined.
"No buts, I need your help Kagome." Sango said setting her in front of the cash register as she went around to stand behind the counter.
"Stop pouting Kagome, you promised to help me."
"Okay, I'll help. I've already set you up with some guys from Inuyasha's college. Most of them he knows and he says they're decent people. I've also picked some from our school!" Kagome said cheerily. Sango groaned and smacked her forehead with her hand.
"Kagome," She whined, "Guys from our school? But I know them!" Kagome stared in confusion,
"So? You know them. What's the problem?"
"I know them! I don't like many of the guys in our school period." Sango said throwing her hands up in dismay.
"Okay, calm down Sango. There's still two that I haven't called. Tell me if you'll go out with them, okay?"
"Fine" Sango said exasperated.
"Okay. Jaken?"
"No, broke his nose in the seventh grade. He never forgave me.And he's way too short for my tatse." Sango said shaking her head.
"I can't believe you sometimes Sango. Now, last one. Ryushi?"
"No, he's not very respectful to his girlfriends. He's abusive and violent."
"How would you know this?"
"I saw him one time. I actually came to the victims aid. He's bad news though."
"Where am I when you hit all of these people? Huh? Huh? Why do I not remember this?"
"Because that was the same time you had an archery meeting Kagome. Remember?"
"I vaguely remember you saying something about it. Anyways. I've called all of your other dates. You've got one scheduled for every night of this week. Starting tonight through next Saturday."
"WHAT? Why couldn't have made them from tomorrow on? Why Kagome? Why?" Sango yelled, glaring at Kagome from behind the counter.
"Hehe. 'Cause tonight was the only open time for one of them. Don't worry Sango! Just try to have fun! I'll be going home with you so I can help you get ready for tonight. Okay?"
"Fine" came a muffled reply. Sango had her head on the counter, her arms covering the back of her head. 'So ends my normal life.' Sango thought miserably as she raised her head to check a customer out.
