Sangos-gal: It's pretty easy. You upload the document, go to Stories and click edit on whichever story it is you want to update. Then click on content/chapters at the top of the Stories screen. At the bottom of the content/chapters is an add chapters box. Just select the document and put in the title, and click add. Hope that helps. If not, you'd be better off asking someone else; I'm not too good at explaining things. Don't worry about Inuyasha. You'll see what happens to him in a few chapters.
SanMirLover: You guess well. And how could you not be one of my favorite authors? You stories are the shit!
Hotaru-Chan: Why do you hate Kagome? If Kagome wasn't in the anime, Sango and Miroku never would've joined, and therefore that couple would never have existed! I think she at least deserves credit for that. Read the chapter it may please you…or not. You'll just have to find out yourself.
moonyme: Yowza. I never knew my story was liked that much. You're the second person to go off like that. I'm glad you love this story so much, but it is going to end eventually, so I hope you find another life-support story…until my next one comes out. Then I can be your dependency once more. :-P
Demons-Heart: I know! Almost everyone wants them back together! (Those of you who don't, I hold high respect for you. Aren't afraid of something different!) Be patient.
Pointy Objects: I'd rather have the pillow named after me, but naming it after my story is almost as good. Thanks you…I think. I couldn't tell if you screaming into, throwing it against the wall, and throwing it in the air so it will fall on you are good things, but I'll assume they are for now.
Tera McCaslin: Ha! I knew I'd win you over! This story I guess is really that good? I'd give it 7 out of 10, but whatever. Enjoy this chapter.
sango the monk slapper: Log-in. Go to upload documents, and upload the word file(s) you want to post. Go to Stories. Go to new story. Agree to the license guidelines (even if you don't agree to them, they aren't enforced. Just click the thing that says you agree) From there on in it's pretty self-explanatory. If this doesn't help, ask someone else. As previously stated, I'm not very good at explaining things.
tashy911: You like my story that much too? God maybe should fuck up this story so people like it less. I'm going to get full of myself if you don't stop telling me how great I am. (I'm not trying to brag if it sounds like I am) Unfortunately, Kouga's #1 Fan has also made herself my number one fan, so you two will have to fight to the death to claim that position. Or you can just reach an agreement yourselves. Or if it's all right you can both be my number one fan I suppose. It's good to be loved!
Kasai to Kasumi: What's wrong with Miroku/Kagome? That couples the best! Well, second best but still. I think the only couples that are unacceptable are Sango/Inuyasha and Naraku and anybody. Naraku is evil. Not as evil as me but close. Read on to find out who he picks.
Chapter 36: Somebody Loved Me
Miroku cracked a smile miles wide when he saw their destination on the horizon, the skyline of Kyoto. "We're almost there!" he said, almost in a giggle. Apparently he was just as excited as when they left. "Soon our ears will be graced by the live music of the best band in the world, Reel Big Fish!" Miroku declared, pumping his fist in the air. He gave Sango a friendly kiss on the cheek. "Sango I can't thank you enough for inviting me. Is there anything I can do to make this up to you?"
"Keep your eye on the road!" Sango replied, as they had drifted into the on coming lane. Miroku swerved back into the proper lane, just avoiding an oncoming Hummer. "I swear to God Miroku, if you trash my car and survive, I will rip your head right off your shoulders." she warned.
"Of course dearest!" Miroku cheerily agreed.
Sango shot him a look. Did he just call her 'dearest'? He hadn't called her that since they had been going out. Sango decided this was a good time to ask a question she had been itching to ask since their journey began. "Miroku, I know it's only been a day, not even twenty-four hours, but have you given any thought to, well you know…" she asked uneasily, trailing of and prepared for the worst.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I have." Miroku answered. It seemed he wasn't going to tell her if he was leaning towards either of them, which made her pout. Miroku was close to making his decision. He was almost completely decided on Kagome. Earlier that morning, he had realized how truly blessed he was to be with her. Sango had had two chances and Kagome only had one. He was also a strict believer in second chances, but not thirds. She was the girl he was with now, and he loved her. He hated to think that he may have filled Sango's heart with hope, only to crush that hope, but it couldn't be helped. Miroku broke the slightly odd silence when the arrived at their desired venue. "We're there." he locked the doors and handed Sango back her keys as they exited the car. He grasped her hand tightly as the made their way to the Dome.
"Okay, there's the second unexpected move of the night." Sango mentally noted. "Has he picked me? Is he just waiting for the right moment to tell me? Or has he chosen Kagome and is just buttering me up so I'll take it better? Quit thinking about him Sango! You're here to have fun and enjoy the music, not worry about who Miroku is going to choose!" she mentally scolded herself.
"Are you okay? You aren't chatting much." Miroku asked, concerned.
"No. I'm better than okay." She said, smiling up at him and squeezing back. Seeing her smile brought a grin to Miroku's face as well. His cell phone rang in the tune of My Own Worst Enemy by Lit. The caller id read Kagome.
"Hey beautiful." Miroku answered, giving Sango the signal to wait a minute. "What's up?"
"Hey Miroku. Where have you been all day? I've called your house a few times but Mushin said you were out. Where are you at?"
"Kyoto." Miroku responded, as if it were no irregularity.
"Kyoto? What the hell are you doing there?"
"Well, you wouldn't believe it but Sango got tickets to see Reel Big Fish and invited yours truly. The downside was the concert is here at the Civic Dome."
"I see. Why didn't you tell me you'd be gone today sooner?" Kagome wondered.
"I didn't know she had the tickets or that I was invited until early this afternoon." Miroku explained. "I'm sorry if you wanted to do something but look, I promise next weekend is completely reserved for you."
"Okay, that's fair." Miroku grinned at Kagome's understanding. "Have fun at the concert. Love you."
"Love you more." Miroku said in farewell flipping the cell closed.
"Kagome?" Sango asked, knowing the answer.
"Yeah. If you didn't already guess I'm busy all next weekend." Miroku said with a stupid grin.
"So I gathered." Sango replied with a roll of the eyes.
The pair didn't have to spend any time searching for their seats because they didn't have any. They had V.I.P. placement. On the floor and in the pit. Miroku grinned when he saw their 'seats' marked on the tickets. "Sango, how much did these cost you?" Miroku inquired when he noticed she had blacked out the price.
"I covered up the price for a reason. I don't want you to know. I know if you knew the price you'd want to pay me back, whether they cost me 100 yen or 100,000 yen." Miroku frowned.
"So they were a lot?" Miroku continued to pry.
"I've said too much already." Sango made a 'my lips are sealed' gesture, gliding her index finger and thumb across her sealed mouth. The house light dimmed and the opening band, Goldfinger began to play the song 99 Red Balloons. When the German verse came up, Miroku screamed out the lyrics along with the band, but Sango could only half-hear him above the crowd.
99
kriegsminister
Streichholz und benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer
schlaue leute
Witterten schon fette beute
Riefen: krieg und
wollten macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal
soweit kommt
Wegen 99 luftballons!
Sango just stared at Miroku in a bit of shock. What the hell did all that mean? Miroku probably didn't know himself. Oh well, not like it mattered. The house lights brightened again once Goldfinger had played several more songs. There was to be a thirty minute intermission between the headliner and the main event. "I'll be right back." Miroku said, heading towards the exit. Sango figured he was just going outside the stadium area to get a beer or something, which was in fact, exactly what he was doing. (I know by U.S. standards they aren't old enough to drink, but in most countries the legal age is 18, and in some there is no age cut off for alcohol, so bear with me) "Miss me?" Miroku joked when he came back, drinks in hand. "Fancy a brewski?" Sango knew if Miroku was going to drink tonight she probably shouldn't since one of them would have to handle the drive home to Kokurum, but she figured one beer was hardly enough to get intoxicated from.
"Sure, why the hell not?" Sango said, accepting the beverage.
"I wish the band would hurry it up. I didn't come here to wait." Miroku complained.
"They'll come." Sango reassured him. As if on cue the house lights cut to total darkness save for the exit signs.
"They'll come." Sango reassured him. As if on cue the house lights cut to total darkness save for the exit signs.
"You and I are mortal but rock and roll will never die!" roared out.
"Hold my drink, will you?" Miroku asked, preparing do dive into the mosh pit as the guitar riff began.
By the third encore Miroku was a mess had had a black eye an inch long scar down his rich cheek and various bruises all over. Sango obviously thought he had taken it a little overboard. The closing song was Somebody Loved Me. (great song, if you download you should definitely look for it)
All of my friends-
they're
not my friends
A knife in the back,
felt it again.
What
did I do? Was it so wrong?
I used to fit in, now I don't
belong
I think somebody loved me once,
I
think somebody loved me once,
I think somebody loved me once; but
I cannot remember why
Despite the brain damage Miroku may have received while moshing, the chorus sparked a thought in his mind. Why did Sango still love him? He was nothing special. He was just a perverted lech who had let her go without a single word of protest. For her best friend nonetheless. Sango may have been the one to break it off, but it was partially Miroku's fault as well. He now realized that, and yet this girl still loved him. Just as he still loved her. She deserved another chance. Her face was dimly illuminated by her lighter. (If you've ever heard the song, you know the chorus is a total lighter moment) She looked so beautiful. Miroku couldn't help himself. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him in a deep, fulfilling kiss.
Sango's eyes grew wide as dinner plates and she dropped her lighter in shock. It was like the music had muted out. Sango took this as proof that he had picked her. Once Sango got over the initial shock she threw her arms around his nick and kissed back. Miroku pulled away and grinned. "You know, I think I've made a decision."
A/N: There! I hope you're all satisfied! I know I could've done more describing of the concert, but except for Somebody Loved Me, I didn't feel it was relevant to the story in general. I put in 99 Red Balloons because that song kicks more ass than Oscar de la Hoya on a good day. Hope you're all happy. (Sorry Kouga's #1 Fan. I had to do it)
