Hinata-Resident:My sis got it for x-mas 2! Both of us play it though.

It's okay if you didn't review it for the first chapter! Like they say, Any Review is a good review, or maybe it's publicity... yea, it's publicity. anyways, glad you liked it! Keep R and R-ing!
SangoMirokusLove: I'm glad you want me to write more! You love my story! That means a lot to me! Thanks for reviewing. Keep reading!
KaguyaEvenstar: It was supposed to be a kinda funny chapter showing that Sango and Kohaku are close. They'll be even closer later on, considering they're all they've got. Now, your questions. Ch. 4 to be exact on you first one. Inuyasha will appear sometime. I'm making him appear in this chapter. If all goes well, this chapter will be out by the 3rd of January. And remember, I update when I get reviews, inspiration, and the time. Keep R and R-ing!
Nessa03:I will! Thanks for reviewing!
Lady Lilacks: Thanks for reviewing again! Your comments really help. Some of it will be funny, but some will be kinda sappy/ you-get-a-warm-fuzzy-feeling. I'll be looking forward to your new story, I wanna read it!
Lina-sama: You don't want to flame me? -crys- Oh thank you! I think every writer goes through the fear of a story being rejected, so make them feel good! After all, it's their ideas! Anyways, back to Lina-sama, I have to agree with you on the p.s. part. -smiles dreamily-Most anime guys are hott! Oh yea, I do know some Japanese., so I know that houshi-sama means a priest. Or in this case, Miroku. Though in the anime Sango always refers to Miroku as Miroku, except rarely where she calls him Monk.
Lady-Sango77:don't worry about your bro, the day will come when you can take his car keys. Hide them somewhere, like in the litterbox or the garbage can, but don't let them get thrown away, you'll get in big trouble! Well, maybe, if you fess up to hiding them in the first place. Hehehe! You are welcome, and thanks for the compliment.
keep saying, 'Keep R and R-ing' Bleh, I'm so sorry to everyone that I can't come up with anything better.)
Important:I have changed some things in the 2nd chapter. You need to go back and read around the last of it,when Sango drags Kagome away from the station. Make Sure You Read That Part!
Nobody Til' You
Ch.3
Dating Fiasco's
After work...
Sango sighed as she and Kohaku made their way to her car. Kagome and Sango had to hunt the two down and ended up finding them in E.B games, playing games of course. They had to drag them out. The whole time shouting about how they wanted the game they were playing. Sango sighed again and rubbed her hands over her eyes as they arrived at the car. She, unfortunately, had a date tonight. Kagome was coming over to help her get ready. 'Why she needs to come over to help me get ready is a mystery to me. It's just a date!' Sango thought as she slid in to the drivers seat. The mall was deserted by now. Everything closed at 7 at the mall. There was only Sango's purple Intrepid, and Kagome's silver and pink Mazda Miata. Kagome's Miata was two isles from Sango's Intrepid. Sango put her seat belt on.
She waited until she heard Kagome's car start before doing a U-turn and heading for the exit of the malls parking lot.
The car ride home was un-eventful.
"You sure are quiet Kohaku." Sango stated.
"Because I'm thinking of how I'm going to beat you at NFSU2. And how to buy the game I was playing at the video game store." He replied looking thoughtful. Sango laughed.
"Well,you just keep thinking about how your gonna do all of that. Tell me when you have it all planned out." She said as she pulled into a parking space. She turned the car off and got out,Kohaku not much farther behind her. Kagome and Souta were right behind her as she started up the steps.
"Wouldn't it be easier to take the elevator?" Kohaku asked her.
"Yeah,but we all need a workout." Sango replied
"Are you .:Huff:. Calling me .:Puff:.fat Sango? .:Pant:."
"Why no Kagome. But you sound a bit winded." Sango said smiling.
When they finally arrived at the apartment, Sango felt around until she realized Kohaku had the key.
"Let me have the key Kohaku" She said in a commanding tone He sighed and reluctantly gave her the key. She put it in the keyhole and turned. It clicked and she stepped in. She flipped the lights on.
"We should have turned them on before we left." Kohaku said as Sango walked to the kitchen. Souta made a beeline to the games and began searching through them. Sango searched through the freezer an pulled out two Digorno pizza's. She put them on a cooking sheet and popped them on the oven. She poked her head back in the living room. Her gaze swept the room, landing on Souta.
"Where's Kagome and Kohaku, Souta?"
"Kagome went to pick you an outfit out, and Kohaku is changing his clothes. Is this your game?" Souta asked holding up a game.
"Which one is it?" She asked coming into the living room.
"Says, 'Harvest Moon: Back to Nature'." Souta said looking at the game then at her.
"Yea. that's mine."
"What kind of game is it?"
"It's a RPG. You run your grandpa's farm and by the end of year 3 you have to have a high percentile to be able to stay in the little town." Sango told him before going down the hallway to her room.
"Kagome?" She asked as she looked around her room. A bedraggled Kagome came crashing out of her closet.
"How did you get in there?" Sango asked as she walked over to Kagome and helped her up off of the floor.
"Hehe. I have my ways." Kagome replied handing her a shirt that had a picture of bubblegum with 5 cents written beside the picture. On the bed there was a jean skirt and brown sandals.
"Okay, go put this on." Kagome said shoving Sango into the bathroom and handing her the clothes. Kagome slammed the door before she could protest. Sango rolled her eyes and mumbled about overbearing best friends. She took her slacks and blouse off, and replaced them with the bubblegum top and the jean skirt. Kagome knocked on he door.
"Sango! You done yet?" Came her muffled question.
"Yes." Sango said as she opened the door.
"See what great taste I have?"
"Yea. This is what I've always wanted, to be your personal Barbie." Sango replied flatly.
"Hey! Don't you have a date or something with Inuyasha?"
"No, we went out last night. But we have a date tomorrow,so I'll pick your clothes out after you leave. I'll call you tomorrow to check in before your date." Kagome said smiling while she went through Sango's hair accessories. She picked up a hair clip. She grabbed a brush and started on Sango's hair.
"I thought you were getting my outfit, not doing my hair." Sango said, looking at Kagome through the mirror.
" I wanted to do your hair. I want to pick your make-up out too." Kagome replied as she twisted her hair up and secured the clip at the bottom of it to let the top part fall and fan out. Kagome took the brush and fluffed her bangs before looking for any loose strands. Finding none she put the brush in a drawer and grabbed Sango's make-up bag. Kagome made her selections for make-up. Sango looked at them each before snorting.
"Kagome I'm beginning to see a pattern. The lip-gloss is called , 'Bubblegum', the eyes shadow is called 'Double Bubble', and my shirt features none other than bubblegum. Pray tell, Kagome, why I've got the bubblegum theme going on?"
"Hehe. I want some bubble gum to chew. Then I saw your shirt, then I saw all of the make-up and couldn't help it. It's cute!" Kagome said smiling at her.
"And I don't do 'cute', Kagome." Sango told her flatly.
"Come on. Just this once, then never again!"
"Never Ever"
"Never Ever." Kagome quickly complied.
"Can I also put a microphone on you and listen to your conversation? Ooo,I could tell you what to say!" Kagome said looking at her hopefully.
"No,no way are you going to listen to my conversations,much less tell me what to say." Sango replied beginning to put more eye shadow on. She picked up the lip gloss and applied a liberal amount before facing Kagome for inspection.
"What do you think? Do I look ready for a date?" Sango asked, nervousness coming back full force.
"You look perfect for your date. Now,go put your shoes on. He should be here any minute." Kagome said pushing Sango out of the bathroom. Kagome turned the light out. Sango had slipped her sandals on and was waiting for Kagome.
"Here,this is the purse I chose for you to take." Kagome said handing her a light pink purse with a silver S embroidered on the front. Sango took it and slipped it on her shoulder.
"The guy's name is Hojou. He's taking you out to La Cazona. Remember, If it starts bombing, go to the bathroom and call me. I'll set up a fake emergency to get you out or something." Kagome said as they walked down the hall to the living room.
"How do you know where he's taking me?"
"Inuyasha told me."
"Oh." Sango said as they both took a seat on the couch. "Hey,wait a minute!Is this the same Hojou that liked you a couple of years ago?"
"Hehe,maybe...Just don't worry Sango,everything'll be alright. I'm gonna be here until after your date. I'll probably take Souta home after a while."
"Fine,give me one of the worst guys on the planet for my first date in a LONG time...I see how you are Kagome...Anyways,when I get home I'll give you an analysis of the guy. Oh yeah,there's pizza in the oven,don't let it burn." Sango said as they both turned to watch what Souta was doing. Kohaku still hadn't returned from his room. A knock came on the door and Kagome rushed ahead of Sango to open it. A young man stood smiling, dressed in jeans and a maroon button up shirt. As Kagome ushered him inside, Sango got a look at his face. He had short, light brown hair. His smiling brown eyes were alert yet had a look of complete wonder and boyish innocence. His mouth was set in a friendly smile. To complete his outward appearance was a button nose. 'Yep,the same Hojou from a few years ago.This is gonna suck.' Sango thought. Kagome took Sango's arm and brought her to stand in front of him.
"Sango, this is Hojou. Hojou this is Sango." Kagome said as means of introduction.
"Hello, Sango."
"Hello Hojou." Sango replied. 'That is so lame. I have absolutely nothing to say to him. Just great.' She thought.
"Well, if you're ready to go." He asked her, glancing toward the door.
"Let me say bye to my brother and then we'll go." Sango said smiling as she left the living room. She stepped down the hallway to his bedroom door. She knocked softly before slowly opening it. The music of Story of the Year blasted in her ears. She quickly shut the door and went to his stereo to turn the volume down. The words of the song, 'Page Avenue' played softly in the background. Kohaku was sitting on his computer with his back turned towards her. He was looking on gamefaqs or some other gaming site. Sango walked to where she was standing behind him.
"I'm leaving Kohaku. My date just arrived. I'm so nervous!" Sango stated smiling down at the top of his head. He turned around in his chair and looked at heres"Well,at least you look pretty." He said smiling at her. He hopped up out of the chair.
"Don't worry Sango. Everything will be alright. Now,your date is waiting." Kohaku said grabbing her arm and dragging her out the door. He pushed her into the living room to stand beside her. He smiled at the young boy as he took him in. He looked nice enough.
"Well, bye Sango."Kagome said clearing her throat.
"Oh! Right!" Sango said jumping with a start. She kissed Kohaku on the top of the head. And then proceeded to her dates side. "Are you ready Sango?"
"Yea, let's go Hojou." She said as she stepped toward the door. He followed after her,still smiling. As they stepped out, Sango heard Kagome call out,
"Good luck Sango!" Sango smiled to herself as Hojou opened the passenger side of his cream Impala. Sango slid in and Hojou shut her door. He climbed in and started the car.
At The Restaurant...
Sango sat in the orange chair across the table from Mr. I-Drive-The-Speed-Limit Hojou. It took them 15 minutes to get here, where Sango could have gotten there in 5.
"What would you like to drink?" An elderly waiter asked Sango.
"Umm...The frozen lemonade." Sango said looking over her menu.
"I'll have Pepsi." Hojou said without looking.
"I'll be right back with your drinks, then I'll take your orders." The waiter said leaving.
"So Sango,how have you been?The last time I saw you was about 2 yrs. Ago. You've changed a lot." Hojou said to her conversationally.
"I've been fine. Keeping busy,with work and school,not to mention making sure Kohaku is happy. I agree,it has been a while since I've seen you." She replied glancing at him above her menu. He wasn't even looking at his. The waiter came back with their drinks, her dates in a regular glass, and hers in a margarita glass. It tasted like lemonade, and was really good.
"Can I take your orders now?"
"Yeah," Hojou said handing the guy his menu, "I want the Spanish Gazpacho."
Sango gave her menu another once over before deciding.
"I'll have the Chimichanga" Sango told him,handing her menu back to the elderly waiter. He finished jotting down their orders and left to give it to the cook.
Sango glanced at Hojou. He was watching her.' Oh great,just what I need. Someone to watch me while I eat.' She thought while taking a sip of her drink.
"So Sango,you mentioned earlier that you have a job?"
"Umm,yeah,at Bath And Body Works. Your in college right?" Sango sighed inwardly,'Maybe this won't be so bad. He might have changed since I saw him last.'
"I am actually. My major is in the biology,so I figured I might as well run with it,"He said giving a small laugh,"Plants and herbs always have been my life." 'Oh god,he's a square sissy boy. What have I got myself into?' Sango thought helplessly.
"Oh,that's umm,nice,that you love plants so much." Sango replied giving a falsely bright smile. He didn't even notice.
Later
Sango slowly opened the door to the apartment. Once inside Kagome charged up and bombed her with question.
"What did you talk about?Was he nice?What do you think about him?What did you eat?Did you have fun?TELL ME!"
"Nothing,to nice,sissy boy,Chimichanga,no. Now that your questions are answered,can you please just kill me now?" Sango said slipping her sandals off and setting her purse on the coffee table. Kagome sat down on the couch.
"No,I will not kill you. What happened that made it so bad?" Sango flopped down on the couch beside her. She groaned and threw her arm over her eyes.
"First,all he talked about were herbs,and how they can help heal sickness and other medical problems. THEN,when the food came, insisted on putting a napkin over my chest so my shirt wouldn't get dirty if I spilled something. Then,he started pointing out what all was in his food,and what purpose it served in the herbal world." Sango finished in a rush, Kagome was quiet for a minute.
"Sango,I'm sorry. For setting you up with him,and for you having such a horrible date with him. Tomorrow's will hopefully be better." Kagome told her while hugging her. "I'm going to take Souta home. I'll be over tomorrow,okay? I'll see you after work." Kagome finished and stood up. Kagome grabbed her car keys off of the counter and headed toward the door. "Don't worry Sango,everything is happening for a reason. I laid out your outfit on your bed for tomorrow. " She said before leaving.
Sango sat on the couch for who knows how long. All she knew was that when she went to bed,it was late. And when she had woke up that morning,life had been as good as possible. But now everything seemed to be going down hill. As she slowly walked to her room,she peeked her head into Kohaku's room. The sheets were tangled around his body and he was laying half off the bed. Sango smiled slightly and closed his door quietly,then headed toward her room.
On her bed was black tank top that was ruffled at the hem,and blue jean bell bottoms. At the foot of her bed were knee-high black boots. On her dresser was a note that read,
Sango,
For you makeup you should wear gray eyeshadow and a clear lip gloss. I know you only wear pink eyeshadow,but now is the time for change,and you can start by wearing other colors of eyeshadow. With your outfit,you'll look gorgeous. I should seriously be your wardrobe manager and makeup artist when you become a Supa Star. For your hair,put it up in a pony-tail. I'll call you tomorrow. Lylas,
Kagome
Sango sighed and looked at her outfit one last time. It would work,she'd wear the gray eyeshadow. She sighed again and changed into a floppy T-Shirt and some pink pajama bottoms. She flopped into bed and sighed one last time. 'Please let it get better. Please..' Was her last thought before drifting asleep.
2nd Date
Sango slowly took a sip of her Dr.Pepper. She mulled over what Kagome had told her about this guy over the phone.
Flashback
"Okay Sango,his name is Naraku,and he's pretty well-to-do. Your going to Chinese and then a movie. I'm not sure what you'll be seeing,but If something starts to go bad,call me. Inuyasha and I will come pick you up. Everything should be okay though." Kagome jabbered on the phone to Sango.
"Sure thing Kagome,I Know,Uhuh. Sure thing,okay. Good luck on your date,I'll talk to you later,bye."
End of Flashback
Everything was good so far. He didn't talk very much,but other than that everything was okay. He was not that bad looking of a guy. He had long greasy black hair,so that was a minus,but he had a red eyes and a longish nose. He's mouth was smiling slightly as she looked at him out of the corner of her eye. What was strange was he was in all black leather and he seemed to be in deep thought. Sango took a bite of popcorn.
The lights in the theater went dim and the opening began to play. Before the actual movie came on,his arm was behind her shoulders. She tensed slightly but didn't say anything.
Inuyasha and Kagome
"Would you hurry up already? Just like a woman,no sense of priorities. Kagome!Come ON!" Inuyasha yelled up the stairs at Kagome. He has just arrived at the shrine to find that his date still wasn't ready.
"I'm coming Inuyasha. Honestly Inuyasha,we still have 20 minutes to be there." Kagome's voice floated down the steps. Inuyasha's ears twitched impatiently.
"Hurry up already!" He called,again for the 3rd time since he arrived there.
"I'm done,let's go." Kagome said coming down the steps. She was dressed in a green pheasant top and a khaki skirt. She completed the ansaumble with brown flip-flops and a brown leather necklace.
"You look great,let's go" Inuyasha said ushering her the rest of the way down the steps.
"I see how you are Inuyasha" She said slightly mad she stomped out the door and made her way to the car. She was stopped short as she was tugged around by her arm. She met Inuyasha's lips on here own and his warm embrace. Inuyasha smirked against her mouth and tugged her closer to him. Kagome leaned in a bit more and put her arms around his waist.
Inuyasha broke the kiss off and hugged her. He pulled away smirking. "Is that why you were mad?"Kagome blushed and looked away.
"Maybe." She let him go and started for the car again. "Come on,we're gonna be late!" She yelled over her shoulder at him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Women" he muttered as he climbed into his 1994 Twin Turbo Supra.
Sango and Naraku
Something definitely didn't feel right with Sango. After she sat her drink down and handed her popcorn to Naraku,she excused her self to go to the bathroom.
Upon entering the bathroom she heaved a sigh of relief. Something just was creeping her out about this Naraku guy. The only thing he'd done was put his arm around her,but it just felt wrong. It made her feel sick. She went over to one of the sinks and washed her hands. She still had the sick weary sense in the pit of her stomach 'Oh snap out of it girl,your just fine. This is just nerves,calm down. Get a hold of yourself' She thought as she slowly exited the restrooms. She made her way back to the room where the movie was playing. It was almost over by the time she arrived. Only 5 minutes remained. She found where she had previously been and sat down beside her date. Who was still giving her the creeps. Sango sighed inwardly at how stupid she was to feel this way. After all,it was just nerves.
Naraku's arm was back around her shoulders once more. She bent down to pick up her drink, and get her popcorn back from Naraku. When she sat back up,the credits began rolling and the light slowly came back on. "Aww,I missed the last of it." She said.
"Don't worry,I'll tell you about it later." Naraku said pulling her up with him as he stood up. His arm was around her waist possessively. She felt as though she was being tugged along instead of being able to walk for herself.
As they reached the car,she was tugged around forcefully. Before she registered what was happening,she felt Naraku's lips on her own. Angrily,she pushed him away.
"What the fuck do you think your doing?"
"I'm showing you a good time baby." He said slipping is arms around her waist. She struggled to get out of his arms.
"Don't struggle Sango. Come on,we can go to my place and have some real fun." He said beginning to kiss down her neck. She shoved him away.
"Stop it you bastard! I'm not going anywhere with you!"
"I think you'll change your mind" He said grabbing her wrists and dragging her forward in a forceful kiss. She kneed him and jerked away. Naraku grabbed himself and fell to his knees with a groan.
"I told you to let me go,and you wouldn't listen." Sango said holding her fist up in a battle stance. It began to rain.
"You little bitch!I'll kill you! No body tells me what I can and can't do. If I want you,I can have you. You'll regret this you little slut. I'll get you back for this." Naraku said standing up as best he could and limping to his car. He got in,revved the engine and sped straight toward her. She dodged out of the way and in between two other cars. She hit the pavement hard. She heard his tires squeal and eventually his cars engine couldn't be heard. By this time,it was raining hard and Sango was soaked. A few tears escaped her eyes as she made her way back to the theater. It was closed.
She went and stood under the marque. Slowly digging through her purse,she pulled out her cell phone. 'Please let Kagome pick up. Please.' She thought.
Kagome and Inuyasha
Inuyasha watched Kagome across from where he was sitting. She was picking at her food and her face was set in a frown.
"What's wrong" He barked out at her. She started
"Oh!Oh,nothing,I'm just not hungry." She said looking back down at he food.
"That's a lie and you know it. On the way over here you talked non-stop about how hungry you were. What's bothering you Kagome?" Inuyasha said stabbing his fork in his chicken and folding his arms across his chest.
"I told you Inuyasha,nothings bothering me."
"Bullshit" Inuyasha replied.
"There's nothing wrong! I'm telling the truth." Kagome said glancing outside. "It's raining out." She stated before going into deep thought.
"Fuck the weather! Tell me what has you so spaced out! I came here to spend time with you and eat a nice meal together,because you always complain we never go anywhere. And lately I haven't been able to spend time with you because of my classes. Now tell me what's wrong!" Inuyasha said angrily to her. Kagome was silent for a minute.
"You know the guy Sango went on a date with tonight? Naraku?"
"Finally,we're getting somewhere. Yeah,I know him. Why?"
"It's just that,I remember an article in the paper Jii-Chan was reading to us over breakfast a couple of months ago. It was about a guy named Naraku and he was arrested for being busted with drugs. He also had 2 counts of statutory rape,but he wasn't found guilty of it. He said it was his twin brother,Onigumo,that was the one. He only admitted to the drug charges and he was put in jail for some time." Kagome said quietly.
"So,you think the one Sango is with is the same Naraku from a couple of months ago?" Inuyasha asked skeptically
"Yeah,I think it is." Kagome replied,"I hope I didn't set my best friend up with a drug addict. Oh god,what if I did?"
"Gods Kagome,calm down. It can't be the same Naraku. You said he went to jail right? If he went,he'd also be put in rehab,and it's not easy to get out of there from what I've heard. Calm down,Sango's fine."
"But how many people in this town are named Naraku? How many Inuyasha?" Kagome said tears welling in her brown eyes.
"Don't cry Kagome,please don't cry," Inuyasha said getting up and coming around the table. He hugged her to him as best he could while sitting in a squatting position. Outside it began raining harder
"Everything is okay. Sango is just fine-" Inuyasha was cut off by the sound of Kagome's cell phone ringing. Kagome glanced at the caller I.D. Before flipping the phone open as fast as she could.
"Sango?"
Sango
BRing BringBri-
"Sango?"
"Kagome?" Sango replied tearfully.
"Oh my god Sango,what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"..I-..I need y-you and Inu-Inuyasha to c-come pick me u-up." Sango said,tears slowly making their way down her distressed face.
"We'll be right there Sango,just hold on. Everything is going to be okay." Kagome told her reassuringly.
"I'll see you in a few Sango,okay?"
"Yeah,in a f-few." Sango said. She heard the click and knew Kagome had hung up. Yet she didn't close her phone. After a few seconds the phone emitted a high pitch beeping noise.
-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-
Kagome & Inuyasha
"We have to go now Inuyasha. Sango needs us." Kagome said closing her phone and hanging it to the side of her waist. She stood up and made her way toward the door.
"H-hey! Wait up! Umm,Waiter! Check please!" Inuyasha called holding up his index finger,motioning for the waiter as he followed,far behind Kagome.
"K-Kagome! Come back! I have to pay for the food!" Inuyasha yelled frantically as he dug around in his pocket for his wallet. He pulled out a 50. Not even noticing, he gave it to the waiter.
"Keep the change!" He yelled back at the man and darted out the exit and to his car. Kagome was already inside and waiting on him.
"What took you so long? Sango's going to think we aren't coming!" Kagome told him indignantly.
"Hold your horses woman. You'll be there in no time," Inuyasha said starting the car and putting it into drive. He hit the gas and they shot off like a bullet. Toward the movies,but most importantly,toward Sango.
Sango
Sango slowly closed her phone. It was pouring out,she didn't have an umbrella,and worst of all,she just had the worst date of her life. 'What I wouldn't give for a hole to crawl in' Sango thought. Siting down on the curb,she waited for her best friend in shining to save her.
None too soon they arrived. Sango stood up and dusted herself off Before they even got stopped,Kagome bolted out of the car and grabbed Sango in a tight hug.
"The calvary has arrived!" Came Kagome's muffled speech from where her face was buried in Sango's shoulder.
"Kagome you IDIOT! Never EVER jump out of a moving vehicle again! Are you trying to break your leg? You IDIOT!" Inuyasha yelled slamming his car door shut and walking over to them.
"I was worried about my best friend in case you haven't noticed!" Kagome yelled back,releasing Sango from the hug and facing Inuyasha,hands on her hips.
"I realize that,but it's no reason to KILL yourself over the person your worried about!" Inuyasha yelled back crossing his arms over his chest.
"Umm,could you guys stop fighting. You look stupid,standing in the parking lot of the movie theater,screaming at each other over me and about Kagome jumping out of a moving vehicle. Now is not the time for this." Sango said interrupting their squabble.
"Sango's right Inuyasha. You should listen to her." Kagome said while dragging a tired Sango over to Inuyasha's car.
"ME?YOU should listen to her!" Inuyasha said as he walked to the drivers side of his car. He got in and started the car. Kagome rolled her eyes and and got in the passengers side. She glanced at Sango through the rear view.
"You okay Sango?"
"Yeah,I guess" Sango replied looking out the window. Kagome watched her for a few more minutes as Inuyasha pulled away and started toward Sango's apartment.
Sango sat quietly watching the familiar scenery fly by. 'Where did I go wrong?' She thought to herself.
At the Apartment
Sango used her key to open the door. They all walked inside and Sango laid her purse on the coffee table and her keys on the kitchen counter.
"You guys want anything to drink?" Sango called from the kitchen
"No, we're fine." Kagome said,elbowing Inuyasha in the stomach. He was going to say yeah on Sango's offer.
"Hey Sango,what happened? With you and Naraku I mean?" Kagome asked her.
"I'll tell you later." Sango said quietly,shooting a quick glance at Inuyasha.
"Women" He muttered before standing up and heading toward the door.
"I'll be out in the car Kagome,hurry up with this girl talk." Inuyasha called before slamming the door behind him. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Ok,so tell me what happened." Kagome said.
"Well," Sango began.
10 minutes later
"...That bastard!He's the one that's gonna pay!I'll have Inuyasha go kick his ass!" Kagome said in anger.
"Shh Kagome,you'll wake Kohaku up! It's late,and he needs his sleep." Sango told Kagome in a whisper.
"Yeah,I know,but Naraku's gonna get what he deserves!" Kagome said pumping her fist in the air.
"Ok,but first we should get what we deserve. Sleep! I'm tired. I'll call you tomorrow Kagome." Sango said rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah,I know what you mean. I'm pooped!" Kagome said standing up and heading toward the door. Sango stood up and followed her.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow Sango. Everything is gonna get better. Everything has to get worse before it can get better as the old saying goes...Or,it's something like that." Kagome said laughing a little.
"Yeah,something like that." Sango repeated. Kagome hugged Sango tightly before releasing her and giving a small wave before starting toward the stairs. 'She could've just used he elevator...' Sango thought before closing the door and grabbing her purse off the table. She made her way to her room,once again checking in on Koahku. He was laid spread-eagled on his bed,flat on his stomach. He snorted and changed the position his head was in so he was looking to the left instead of the right. Sango smiled again before closing his door and heading to her own.
She changed her clothes and slowly went to lay in bed. Kilala was laid in the middle.
"Kilala! I haven't seen you in a long time."Sango exclaimed, picking up the small two-tailed cat demon and cradling her in her arms.
.:Meow:. Was Sango's only response. Kilala licked Sango's cheek. .:Meoow:. Sango laughed and set Kilala back down. Sango pulled the covers back and crawled into bed. As she closed her eyes,she saw a small figure coming toward her face. .:Meow:. It questioned before licking her nose.
"Kilala!" She laughed
"It's time to go to sleep, I've had a rough night." Sango said,talking to her cat. Kilala gave her a disapproving look before moving up on Sango's pillow and settling down into a ball. She was ready to go to sleep,just like Sango was. Sango snuggled into her covers and mulled over how her fuzzy feline friend could make her feel so much better after all that happened. Sango's last thought before falling asleep was, 'Must be because she understands me so perfectly, Even when I don't have to tell her what happens. She just knows. Or she heard me telling Kagome.'
Inuyasha & Kagome
"Are you ready to go now?" Inuyasha complained loudly as Kagome opened the car door.
"Yeah,let's go." Kagome replied settling down in the passengers seat. The ride to Kagome's house was silent. Kagome was still slightly mad at Inuyasha, and Inuyasha was in deep thought.
They finally arrived at the shrine. Inuyasha parked the car and they both got out.
"Umm,Inuyasha? You realize that you don't live here,right?" Kagome asked as she got pout and shut her door.
"Yeah,but," Inuyasha said coming around to where she was standing,"I just want to apologize for what happened."
He pulled her into a tight hug. "It's okay Inuyasha,really." Kagome said wrapping her arms around his waist.
"I know,but it's not okay with me. We're going out again on Friday." Inuyasha said backing away slightly to look at her face.
"Fine. But this one is going to work out better than the last one. I can feel it!" Kagome said smiling up at him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and kissed her full on the lips. Kagome kissed back,then they both broke it off. Inuyasha going back to the drivers side,Kagome going up the steps of the shrine.
"I'll call you tomorrow!" Kagome called turning around and giving a small wave at Inuyasha.
"Okay...You had better remember this time though!" Inuyasha yelled to before smirking and getting in his car. As Kagome topped the stairs, Inuyasha's car started and sped away. Kagome quickly made her way to the house.
"I'm home!" She called as she flung the door open.
"Welcome home hunny. How was your date?"
"It was okay mom. Sango ran into some trouble though. I'll tell you about it." Kagome said setting her cell phone on the counter and slipping her shoes off.
3rd Date
"Okay Sango,come out of the bathroom." Kagome called from her position sitting Indian-Style on Sango's bed. She heard a 'click' and Sango emerged form the bathroom dressed in a plain whit T-shirt and faded blue jeans.
"You like great! Heres your tennis shoes" Kagome said clapping her hands together childishly and throwing Sango her shoes. They landed at Sango's feet and she slipped them on
"What kind of date am I going on exactly?" Sango asked skeptically.
"Ah,your going to a poetry reading with Koga. One of those club like places,where they have guest speakers to recite their own poetry up on a stage." Kagome replied to her.
"The same Koga from school? That was hung up on you for a while after you and Inuyasha started dating? That Koga?" Sango asked.
"Umm,yeah..." Kagome said sheepishly," Don't worry,I'm sure he's changed. For the better too." Kagome said smiling sincerely at Sango.
"Yeah,just like Hojou?" Sango asked glaring at her.
"Yep!" Kagome said jumping off Sango's bed and making her way to the kitchen.
Kilala was in the kitchen eating when Sango arrived.
"Hey Kilala's back" Kagome said scooping the cat up into her arms.
"Yeah,she was sleeping on my bed last night." Sango told her while picking up her purse.
At the Poetry Reading
'Goh,this is so boring. Even Koga looks bored. This is the worst date ever. I can already feel it going down hill. ' Sango thought to herself. Both she and Koga were sitting in the booth,and pretending to concentrate on the poetry. Koga slipped his arm around Sango's shoulder. Except this time,Sango wasn't as creeped out as she had been with Naraku. It was hard to feel threatened by a guy who had such a bored look on his face. He seemed to have given up on trying to look interested.
"So Koga,your in college right? You go with Inuyasha?" Sango whispered to him. Koga glanced at her.
"Umm,yeah,you could say that." He replied before taking a sip of his drink.
"Oh. What are you going to major in?" Sango whispered again.
"The fighting category. I'm going to be a famous boxer one day,and show the mutt up. He's going for Kendo,so he can work with his little sissy swords. Real men fight with fists!" Koga exclaimed pumping his fist in the air and getting a dreamy look in his eyes.
"And Koga takes home the title of world champ." Koga whispered with the dreamy look still in place. Sango looked away and rolled her eyes. 'Talk about a one track mind.' Sango thought.
Out of nowhere there was a shout.
"Hey! Koga! There you are man! We've been looking for you all over." Said a guy with a white Mohawk.
"Ginta,Hakaku. Wassup guys?" Koga asked them smirking...well,wolfishly. He stood up and High-fived them both before resuming his last position with his arm around Sango.
"Sango,I'd like you to meet Ginta,and Hakaku. They are two of the coolest people you will ever meet." Koga said boastingly.
"I'm sure." Sango said forcing a polite smile.
"Well guys,sit down,have a drink! Hahaha" Koga told them For some reason he laughed,for absolutely no apparent reason. It scared Sango slightly,'What if he's mental. That'd be worse than Naraku and Hojou put together. I hope he's not mental.' She thought worriedly. Sango glanced at them. They were all laughing at some inside joke. This is nice,first she was bored,now she was being ignored. She went to reach for her drink to find it..missing?
"What?Koga, have you seen my-...Oh..." Sango said looking at Koga. He turned around and in his hand was..her drink!
"Umm yeah,excuse me,but I WAS going to drink that. But you can keep it now. I'll just order another one." Sango said calmly. Inside she was mad. 'How dare he? You don't go around drinking someone whom you don't knows drink! It's just messed up!' She raged in her mind.
This date could not get any worse. Or so she thought.
At The Apartment
"Sango? What happened?" A shocked Kagome asked her as Sango came in. Sango glared at Kagome
"Ginta happened. He set the building on fire!" Sango began. Sango's face and body were covered in a thin layer of smoke. Her hair was a mess and she was glaring like no body's business.
"Oh my god! Are you Serious?" Kagome asked walking over and waiting as Sango began taking her shoes off and setting her stuff down.
"Yeah,I'm just kidding. I came up with it all on my own...NOT!" Sango said angrily
"I can't believe this! First,we were both bored,then some of his buddies showed up and I was completely ignored,he took my drink,I had to get another one,THEN he knocked the new one ALL over me,his buddy,Ginta,set the table on fire which escalated into half of the building being burned,I had to pick up the check,they wanted ME to pay for damages but I said No Way, AND THEN!I had to walk 10 MILES to get home!" Sango yelled about how horrible her date was.
"Sango,why didn't you just call me? I'd have come got you." Kagome said watching as Sango slammed drawers and stomped around angrily. Sango stomped into the bathroom and shut the door.
"BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD I FORGOT!" Sango screeched through the bathroom door. The sound of the shower running and bottles being slammed and thrown around signified that Sango was taking a shower.
"BESIDES! I DIDN'T WANT TO RIDE IN HIS JUNKY FORD PINTO ANYWAYS!" Sango continued her rant.
"HE IS SO STUPID! I THINK HE'S A MENTAL CASE! HE NEEDS TO GO SEE A PHSYCIATRIST." Kagome sighed. It was only Wednesday and already everything was shot. All she could do was hope that tomorrow would be better for Sango.
4th Date
'I can't believe that I'm having this good o a time,and at a museum no less.' Sango thought happily to herself. What really made her happy was that her friend from a long time ago had moved back into town,and she was with him right now. She smiled happily.
"Karonosuke,look at this statue! It's pretty amazing isn't it?" Sango asked her date, showing him a tall statue.
"You bet it is Sango" He said looking at it.
"Let's go to the art section." Karonosuke said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her along to the art section of the museum. After they arrived,he still didn't let go of her hand. Sango sat down with Karonosuke on a bench.
"Okay,let's look at the map," Sango said pulling a pamphlet out of her back pocket," We're here, and we need to go cover these areas." Sango said pointing to them each in turn.
"Hmm,your right. Let's go!" Karonosuke said grabbing her hand again and pulling her up. Sango laughed and followed him.
At the Apartment
Sango slowly opened the door of Karonosuke's Honda Civic. Karonosuke walked her up the stairs and to the front door of her apartment.
"I had a really fun time tonight Sango." Karonosuke said.
"I did too." Sango said smiling up at him. He smiled back and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek.
"I'll call you sometime. I'd like to go out again Sango." Karonosuke said after pulling away. Sango blushed and replied,
"I'd love to too."
"Well,until next time." He said. He began walking toward the elevator. Sango slowly opened the door to her apartment and stepped inside.
" How'd it go?" Kagome said bouncing up from the couch and walking over to Sango.
"It went great. He kissed e on the cheek,and even wants to go out again sometime." Sango said leaning her back against the door and smiling dreamily.
" Sango's in loove!" Kagome crooned. She began to dance an odd little jig. Sango lost the dreamy look and started laughing at her.
"Your crazy Kagome. Hahaha" Sango said smiling and laughing at the same time
"Yeah,crazy in Loove!" Kagome began to prance around dancing,making Sango laugh even harder.
.:MeOow:.
"Kilala!" Sango said scooping the small cat up.
"I just had the best date ever." Sango stated happily.
"And tomorrow's going to be better." Kagome said.
"Oh,who's my date?"
" Some guy named Miroku. Inuyasha said he was his best friend. I've never met him though"
Mwuhahaha,next chapter! Enter the Monk!..that's not the chapter name,but it's gonna have Miroku in it did u like the fluffly I put in for Inuyasha and Kagome?
