A/N: Attention readers! I'm looking for a beta-reader for this story! I had spelling/puntuation issues :). lol. If you would like to grace me with your skills please leave me a message in your review. If more than one person reviews for the job, I'll chose randomly, like I usually do!
I know I ussually put the reviews in here, but I already had them typed out when I tried to edit the first time and then it wouldnt save soI had to shut down, lets just say, I dont feel like writing them again, but I really appriciate every review I got and next chapter I will combined the reviews!
Last Time:
"Its not as bad as it seems? Miroku, Do you know what its like to have everyone relying on you? I do. Sessy relys on both me and Kagome to finish all his shit. Kagome relys on me to finsh what she doesnt. My parents relied on me to take care of my brother, which I obviously cant do. And Kohaku relys on me to be there. I'm sick of people thinking I can do everything! I'm only one person!"
Sango covered her face and cryed. She beged herself to stop but the tears kept coming. She hated crying in front of people, let alone someone she barely met. But one person can only hold so much weight. Sango reached her limit.
Miroku stepped forward and held Sango while she fell apart.
Chapter 5:
He never knew she was under so much stress. When he saw her, she looked like she had a normal life. She looked like she had an afortable one bedroom apartment by herself, maybe a cat or something. But now he knew she had an expensive house and has to support her brother while holding a very unsteady job.
He had only known her about 5 hours now and he was holding her and watching her break down for what seemed like the first time in a long time. Nothing ever felt so right to him.
She had stopped crying but there stood there together, like old friends. Old lovers.
"Sango?"
Sango looked toward the door, "Kohaku!" She ran to him and threw her arm around her brother.
"Oh my God I was so worried about you!" She stepped back and looked angry, "Where the hell were you! Do you know how messed up I have been for the past hour?" Sheyelled.
"I was at Rin's house" He replied.
Sango didnt have to look at Miroku to know he had an I-told-you-so look on his face, "God, couldnt you have called or something! You know my cell phone number!"
"Well, I didnt think you would care! You never do!" Kohaku turned to go to his room but Sango stepped in front of him.
"Kohaku, I'm sick of this I dont care shit! I cared enough about you to keep you with me and hold a part time job and go to school 5 years ago, didnt I?"
He didnt reply.
"Dont you think me giving up all my free time to get a job to help us live in a house and have a decent meal is caring? I know I havent always been around, Kohaku. I'm not stupid. But give me a little credit! I go to work every morning, no matter what, to pay for our living expenses. You know, when mom and dad died, I could have just givin you up to an orphange, it would have saved me a hell of a lot of money! But I didnt, you know why?"
No answer.
"I didnt because I love you, Kohaku. Your my brother, and there is going to be times when I'm late, or I dont show up. But thats my job. I dont have a normal 8-5 job, like some of your friends parents. My job is so screwed up that I never know when I am going to get home. But havent I been to every parent/teacher conference? Havent I been to every school function? I'm trying to hard right now, and sometimes I screw up, like today. I dont need you to be all over me about it!"
"Well I'm sorry I'm such a God damned burden!" Kohaku yelled. He ran past Sango and into his room.
"Thats not what I said!" Sango yelled after him but he had already slammed the door.
Sango went and sat by Miroku on the couch, "What am I going to do with him?"
"Just deal with it, he's 14 so he's just at that age" Miroku said.
"Do you have any younger siblings?" Sango asked.
"Nope, I'm and only child"
"Count your blessings, you've been touched by an angel" Sango said.
Miroku laughed, "Well, have a good rest of the night, I should probably go"
"Alright" Sango said, getting up and walking him to the front door.
"Are you going to be alright here?" Miroku asked when they reached the door.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. And thank you..for everything today. Really." Sango said.
"No problem, just get some sleep and relax."
"Okay, bye" Sango said and shut the door behind her.
'At least he didnt grope me this time' she thought.
"Miroku have you heard from Sango?" Kagome asked the next morning at work.
"She's not here? I guess she over slept" Miroku assumed.
"Over slept?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Yeah, when I left last nigth she was pretty tired" Miroku said, filing through some papers.
Kagome stood at the back of the room. Her eyes were wide, glancing at Inuyasha every couple of seconds.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled and hit him on the head, "Do you know that Sango is practically our boss! If you screw up, she'll tell Sessy and we get fired!"
"Tell me what?" Sesshomaru said entering the room with a cup of coffee.
"Tell you that Miroku screwed Sango last night!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sesshomaru choked on his coffee.
"I did no such thing!" Miroku said, "Last night, I gave Sango a ride to get her brother and we couldnt find him. Sango had a breakdown so I stayed and then we found her brother and I left! Thats it!"
"Sango had a breakdown?" Kagome asked, "Well, we should probably go get her. Lets go guys"
"Why do I have to go?" Inuyasha complained.
"Because I'm your boss and I order you to go, little brother." Sesshomaru said, shoving him out the door.
"So how do we get in?" Inuyasha asked as they walked up the sidewalk and onto Sango's porch.
"She always keeps the key in the porch light." Kagome explained, reaching up behind the light and pulling down a key. She stuck it in the door and turn the knob, "Sango?" she called. The only reply was a meow coming from the floor.
"Hi Kirara," Kagome said, bending down and petting the cat.
"That wasnt there yesterday" Miroku said.
"She's an outside cat. She likes to hunt." Kagome said standing back up, "Sango's probably in her room, lets go."
They walked through the hallway, which Miroku recognized from his desperate search for Kohaku yesterday.
"Sango?" Kagome called into the last bedroom, "Sango! Get up! Your so late for work!"
If Sango had heard Kagome, she didnt show it. She looked so peaceful and happy sleeping, Miroku was almost mad that Kagome was waking her up.
"Sango! Get up!" Kagome hit Sango with a pillow. Sango sat up, took the pillow from Kagome and went back to sleep.
"Sango, Sessy will be mad if you dont get up." Kagome said, taking a seat on the bed.
"Screw Sessy" Sango replied.
Kagome sighed, "What about your job?"
"I quit"
"Alright thats it!" Kagome stood up. "Will you guys help me?"
They all stepped forward and picked up Sango.
"Just put her in here" Kagome said, gestering to the bathtub.
Miroku and Inuyasha gently put her in the tub. Miroku was almost scared to think of what Kagome was planning. Kagome turned the cold water knob on and the water came out of the shower, right on Sango. Sango jumped up and screamed.
"Kagome, you bitch!" Sango yelled.
"Well, I'm sick of spending an hour waking you up!" Kagome argued.
Sango noticed Inuyasha and Miroku in the room. She glanced down and thanked God she decided to wear her black shirt to bed instead of her white one. She leaned forward and turned off the water and stood up. She almost slipped but Inuyasha grabbed her arm and steadied her.
With Inuyasha and Miroku's help, Sango got out of the tub. She grabbed a towel off the rack and looked at Kagome.
"I'm not speaking to you" Sango informed her before marching into her room and slamming the door.
"Are you speaking to me yet?" Kagome asked.
Sango ignored her and continued reading Chloe's file.
Kagome sighed, "Have you made the new interview with Chloe's mom yet?"
Sango didnt reply but threw a notepad at Kagome. Kagome picked it up off the floor and read it:
INTERVIEW - TOMORROW AT 2:30
"Your creative.." Kagome commented.
Sango didnt reply but Kagome could see the smile on her face.
"Morning Ladies," Miroku said walking in the door.
"Hey Miroku" Kagome said.
"Is Sango still mad?" he asked.
"Yeah," Kagome said with a sigh.
"I love how you guys are talking about me like I'm not here." Sango said.
"Wow, the mute speaks!" Inuyasha said, entering the office.
"Now everyone's funny, arent they? I'm going to get some coffee." Sango stood and walked out the door.
"Anyway," Kagome said, "We have another interview with Chloe's mom tomorrow at 2:30"
"I have been thinking.." Miroku started.
"Wow" commented Inuyasha.
"Shut up...I was thinking that we never went through the evidence drawer for this case. Don't you think we should?" Miroku said.
"I guess your right..I'll go get Sango"
A/N: Everyone is mean too Sango. I feel bad...ok I'm done lol. Well, my storys are running late, I know. I'm having prissues (Problems/issues prissues...inside joke).
