Sango lay in her bed, staring at her phone, waiting for Kagome to call her. While she did this, she closed her eyes and got lost in that day's events:
(earlier)
Sango and Miroku sat at a small table in the police department. A slender man in uniform was on the other side. He had a pad of paper and a Ticonderoga pencil with him. He eyed the nervous girl with sympathetic eyes. His badge read 'Officer Chevski.' He cleared his throat and smiled. "So, tell me your name again…"
"S-Sango-"
"Don't worry, we got your last name on record. Just seeing how nervous you are!" He laughed. Sango felt better. "Okay, so tell me what this Miojo looked like."
"Well, he had short, blonde spiky hair and green eyes."
Officer Chevski's pencil scribbled this all down quickly. "Any other distinct features?"
"No, not really."
"Uh huh…Age?"
Sango looked at Miroku. "About seventeen," Miroku replied.
"Okay. And, young lady, would you please tell us what you remember?"
"I came back, and I sat with Miojo, and I had some soda, and the room began to spin, my breathing was heavier, I felt sick, I believe I was sweating a lot, and then I blacked out."
"That was when I found her," Miroku chimed in.
Officer Chevski wrote the rest of it down and put the pad down. "Young lady, it sounds like he used GHB on you."
"What's GHB?" Sango asked.
"It's gamma hydroxybutyric acid. It's been recently legalized in the United States to treat narcolepsy." The big words got mixed up in her head.
"So, does that mean there's a chance he came from or went to America recently, and maybe has a sleeping disorder?" Miroku asked. Sango and Officer Chevski gave him a funny look.
Chevski chuckled. "Wow, it looks like we have a detective here!"
Miroku blushed. "I watch a lot of shows like that." The officer wrote down some more things in the note pad and turned back to Sango.
"It takes ten hours for the drug to go through your system. Have you gone to the hospital yet?"
"Yeah, we went there first," Sango said. "No more of the drug is in my system."
"That's good. We'll call you if we get anymore information on this Miojo. You should go home and get some rest. You're one of the lucky ones. Good thing this young man came along."
Sango looked down and smiled a bit before glancing at Miroku, who was looking at her.. "Yeah. Good thing…"
(now)
She sighed. Will that phone ever ring? Is school even out yet? I wonder if word got around… Sango heard her door open. "Sis, how are you feeling?" Kohaku asked. Sango groaned. "What's wrong? Do you feel sick? Are you going to puke? Are you going into a coma!"
Sango turned around and stared at him. "What the hell?"
"I looked up GHB online! You could've died!"
"I KNOW!" She put a pillow over her head. "Just GET OUT, Kohaku!" There was a brief silence and she heard her bedroom door close. You could've died! Good thing this young man came along… Sango shook her head.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Sango jumped up and grabbed it. She held it to her ear. Kagome! "Hello?"
"Hi, is this Sango?" The voice was high-pitched and preppy; not exactly Kagome's. Damn. "Yes, this is she."
"Are the rumors true?"
Huh! "What rumors?"
"That you and that pervert…did it?" What the hell!
"Where the hell did you hear that?"
"So it is true!"
"Hey, I never said that!" Giggles were heard in the background. How many people were listening!
"Thanks, bye!"
"NO, wait-" Click. Dial tone. Sango was frozen in place. What was that all about? She hung up and groaned again. Everything seemed so stressful. The phone rang again. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Sango, how are you?" Kagome!
"Kagome! Hi! I'm okay."
"Really? Me and InuYasha were worried!"
"Oh, I'm fine. Was Miroku at school today?"
"Yeah, but he didn't say much. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Don't worry, Kagome. I'm much better now." Talking to Kagome took away all the stress. Sango suddenly felt much better.
"Oh, um, Sango, there is something I wanted to ask you…"
"Yeah, what?"
"Um…Well, this is more of something to tell you! When you come to school tomorrow, be aware that word about the party got around pretty quickly…"
"Oh, okay. Is everyone worried?"
"…Not exactly."
"What a bunch of assholes."
"Sango, I don't think you know what I mean…Tiashi Hijikes said she saw you and Miroku in a bedroom together, scantily clad..."
"Oh, she must've been that chick who walked in on us."
"What? It's all true!"
"Is what true?" Sango hissed.
"What happened between you two last night?"
"I dunno. I was passed out most the night."
"…Right…."
"Kagome…?"
"Well, um, I gotta go. I hope you feel extra good tomorrow. Bye!" Dial tone. What rumors? Maybe about me and Miroku? But…surely Kagome would tell me of any nasty rumors spreading around about me…Unless she thought they were true. She laughed to herself, hoping she'd feel reassured. "No rumors could get really bad around our school," she said aloud, "even if all the girls are big-mouths!" She laughed again, making herself feel better. She lay back on her bed and drifted off to sleep, still unsure of what the phone calls meant.
Sango looked up at the forest sky. The trees were so thick with lush green leaves that the baby blue sky was barely visible. She sighed and sat up. She had her shirt off, resting on her chest so her breasts weren't revealed. She felt a warm hand on her wrist, trying to pull her back down. "Is something wrong, Sango-sama?" Sango shook her head. "Then come back to me, you sex goddess." She smiled and lay back. The leaves around her rustled and her moans of ecstasy were soon heard…
Sango rolled over and heard Kirara's quick cry of pain as she sprinted off the bed. Sango woke up in surprise. "Sorry, Kirara…" She was sweating slightly. Her gaze shifted to the clock. A little after 7 p.m. I should go down for dinner. She looked at the phone. I wonder if anyone else tried to call…Whatever; like it matters. She rolled off her bed and walked downstairs, having doubts about school the next day.
