Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. But my friends and I do own that penny in the road. Hey! Where did it go?

Chapter 2: Shot, or not?

When he finally made it out side, he saw wave down a cab and get in. Once her cab was out of site, he started to walk home. He would have taken the bus, but he was broke, plus he needed time to think.

With no warning, someone's hand covered his mouth and stared to pull him down a dark ally way. Struggling to get a was proved to be of no hope. The person who had him obviously worked out and was quite strong.

"Long time no see." said a voice that sounded familiar to Miroku.

"What the..." Miroku managed to get out before being tossed agents the side of a building. As soon as he grasped what had just happened he spun around to face who had dragged him down the ally. He squinted his eyes trying to see through the darkness but could only make out a dumpster overflowing with trash.

"Who's there?" Said Miroku half shouting.

"Now Miroku," said the voice. "No need to shout I'm right here." The person jumped down from the top of a building and landed in front of Miroku causing him to take a step back.

"God Inuyasha! Why did you have to do that? You didn't have to scare the shit out of me!" Miroku said relieved.

"How in the hell did you know it was me?" Inuyasha said a little upset that he his little game was over.

"Who else has the strength of ten men, can jump from tall buildings and land on the ground with no injury, and, when you put two and two together, a voice like you? It's kinda' obvious." Miroku said with a half smile on his face.

"I lost you on the first bit but, anyway. You said you were going gambling with me tonight. Remember?" Said Inuyasha, the excitement edging away from his voice.

"Sorry Yash, I completely for got." Miroku said scratching his head trying to remember. He was almost positive that he never promised anything of the sort to Inuyasha. "Anyways, I don't feel like going gambling right now."

"Damn! Now the whole nights shot!" Inuyasha said a little too enthusiastically. "Who was that you were fighting with? She seemed a little mad." He said quickly changing the subject.

Miroku was about to say no one but he thought twice. 'I'm not going to lie to him, he's my best friend.' "Her name is Sango and we've been going out for a little while."

'So the truth finally comes out.' Inuyasha thought. 'He's been blowing me off for some girl! Well, then again I have blown him off for Kagome.'

"Well, I ran into a girl from 9th grade and she wanted to talk. Turns out she didn't just want to talk, she wanted to bear my child."

"Then why didn't you?" said Inuyasha plainly acting like this happened everyday.

Miroku gave him a look that had shut-up written all over it and went on. "She took me down a hall and started making out with me. I tried to pull away but when I did she deepened the kiss and my hand kinda' found its way to he ass. Right then Sango walked in and saw us making out. Then she said she shouldn't have let me go off with her and how she couldn't compare with how Kinya, the girl from 9th grade. I tried to explain to Sango but she wouldn't listen to me. Then she said she didn't want anything to do with me and stomped out. You saw what happened out on the street."

"Yeah." Inuyasha said. He wasn't good at giving advice anyway. "Hay, you wanna go clubbing? Sesshomaru and Rin bought out a huge store and turned it into a dance club over on 131st street. You could probably find a new girl and forget about tonight." Said Inuyasha his excitement returning. 'Maybe to night isn't shot.'

"Sure." Miroku said feeling a little better. "But I don't think I'll forget about tonight for a while."

A/N: Short. Just a bunch of talk. The next chapter will be all most the same, but just wait, chapter 4 will be the best so far. Maybe some fluff. Like I said I am open to any comments or Q's (Questions) you may have about the story.
