A/n: Seeing how today, March 10th is my birthday, I've decided to give you a gift of another chapter. This chapter is going to be kind of sad in my opinion. Thanks to all my reviewers!! I love you guys!! Now that my panic attack is over, I can carry on!! To everyone who sent me e-mails, you're wonderful!!!
For those of you who are worried about the relationship between Kagome and Inuyasha. Everything works it's self out, weather it's good or not I won't say. They might be together, they might not. Nothing last forever and love is no exception. But stick around and enjoy the ride! There's still going to be a lemon b/c you voted for it. If you change your mind about the lemon, LET ME KNOW!!! SAVES A HELL OF A LOT OF TIME!!
Grammar: It's alright I guess.
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha. This includes, the manga series, the T.V. show, the posters, the quotes...just my idea for this story.
Chapter twelve___Trials
Kagome took a seat in history, not daring herself to look around. 'This day is going to be fucked up I can feel it.' As if on que, Kikyou came through the door, Kagome getting her attention first. The wench kept a cool smile on as she came and stood in front of Kagome.
"You're in my seat." Kagome glared at her, but moved. After seeing Inuyasha, she wasn't in the mood for Kikyou's bullshit. She wasn't in the mood for a lot of things lately...besides crying.
Despite what her friends said, Kagome truly did look like hell. Her eyes were puffy, and her hair was in a messy bun, and she wore regular white T-shirts with the same color pants everyday-turtle green.
Opening her notebook, she began taking notes, when her mind wondered off. Anyone could guess as to where. 'This is rediculous! I shouldn't be....I can't even say it! I've only been dating him for...how long was it? A week? Two weeks?'
Kagome couldn't think of the days that she had spent talking to him, being with him. It all seemed like a dream, a dream that turned into a nightmare in an instant. Her mother always told her that logic doesn't have a monopoly on the heart, and she was beginning to believe her.
Lightly tapping her pen, she began to write lyrics. All of her songs had been depressing lately. She turned the pages, looking at the songs she wrote.
Officially Missing You
All I do is lay around
Two ears full tears
From looking at your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
I don't know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby safe to say
That I'm officially missing you
Untitled
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
OohhhhhI trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad
what love will make you do
all the things that we accept
be the things that we regret
I wish I wasn't
When you touch me my heart melts
and everything you did wrong I forgive
so you play me and take advantage
of the love that I feel for you
Why you wanna hurt me so bad
I believed in you that's why I'm so mad
now I'm drowning in disappointment, and its hard for me to even look at you
I wish I wasn't in love with you
so you couldn't hurt me
It just ain't fair the way you treat me
No you don't deserve me
Wasted my time thinking about you and you ain't never gone change
I wish I wasn't in love with you
so I wouldn't feel this way
Kagome sighed, and started writing down lyrics. 'This will just be part of the collection.'
get it togetherYou don't know the pain that I feel,
You've taken my love for granted,
And you just wanna see it your way.
It's about that time,
I'm gonna tell ya what's on my mind.
I'm fed up with you not being here with me,
When you know love is all I need,
I don't want to stay...
Writing down the last few words, Kagome stopped. She couldn't go on, feeling tear emerge in her eyes. Kouga was always going to have this power over her. No matter who she was with or what she was doing.
'One mistake....one mistake ruined my life. It's not fair!! What kind of psycho- world is God creating?!!! Why must the good suffer along with the bad!!!!'
Without thinking, Kagome gathered her stuff and walked out of class, knowing she'd break down into a million pieces in front of everyone if she didn't.
Needing some fresh air, she walked to her favorite part of the school. The place that was used at a zen garden for the science club. A place the popular crowd didn't know about.
Sitting on the bench. Kagome hid her face in her hands, taking deep breaths, trying to control her sobs. 'You're supposed to learn from your mistakes, not make the same ones!!'
"Kagome?" She looked up to see a concerned Sango. She didn't try to hide her pain, but cried even harder, covering up her face. Sango took a seat, wrapping her arms around Kagome, just letting her get it all out of her system.
When Kagome finally calmed down, She lifted her head and smiled at Sango. "Thanks." Her voice was horse and Sango could tell she hadn't got much sleep lately. Kagome looked a mess.
"So what are you doing out here?" Sango shrugged. "I just needed a place to think. Miroku and I.....we're getting close." Kagome smiled. "That's great. I'm really happy for you." Sango frowned. "I'm.....not ready." She whispered.
"Ready for what?" Kagome asked. "I'm not READY." Sango intensified the "ready" part. Kagome made an 'o' with her mouth. Miroku and Sango were damn near inseparable up until lately. She never thought Sango giving herself to Miroku as anything unnatural. Hell, she thought they already were.
"Well, have you talked to Miroku about it?" "No. I know he would wait on me, but I don't want him to sleep around with other females while he's waiting." "If Miroku loves you, then he'll understand." "But how will I know he's the "ONE" for me?" Sango stressed.
Kagome smirked at her own misfortunes, having to learn Sango's question the hard way. "Listen Sango. I know you're scared to commit this big part of your woman hood to someone else outside of your body. But just remember. You give it up, or someone will do it for you."
Sango knew Kagome was thinking about her own life at that point. "Not every girl gets raped Kagome." Kagome shot her a glare. "Not every girl is as lucky as you! Has a boyfriend as caring as Miroku! You're lucky to even have that part of yourself to give away!! Be happy!! Quit being afraid of something that's beautiful and take advantage of it!!"
Sango lowered her head to the grass. Kagome stormed off, needing to cool her mind. Sango had come to her with a genuine concern, something very personal, and she had gotten her own problems into it.
Wanting to apologize, Kagome turned around and headed back toward the bench. Shina came out of no where. "Hi Kagome." Kagome jumped before looking down at the intruder. "Oh, hi Shina. How are things going with you and Shippou?" Shina smiled.
You could tell Shina was easily falling for Shippou, and part of Kagome told her that it was wonderful, the other.... "Things are wonderful!! He's the greatest guy ever!!"
Kagome frowned. "Shina, I know you're falling pretty hard for him, and who could blame you. Shippou is great. But.....do me a favor and don't fall so hard that you can't stand up again."
Shina frowned, clearly confused, but nodded just the same. "Okay...so when are we going to have lessons? This weekend?" Kagome cringed a little. "Yeah...about that....I-I can't teach you anymore. I'm sorry.." Kagome rushed off before the girl could respond, forgetting all about Sango.
!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
Inuyasha walked through the halls, half aware. He had skipped History to give himself some time to think...A lot of good that did. Kagome stayed on his mind every second. The look on her face in the gym.....he never thought he was capable of putting that look on her. She was repulsed by him and he could smell it a mile off.
He had to talk to her. He needed to talk to her before he killed himself. 'Why did I ever let her go?!! For him!?!! I can honestly say I wasn't all there when I shook hands with him.'
Inuyasha came out of his own world when he bumped into someone. "Watch where the hell you're goin!" He wasn't in the mood to be semi nice today. Like he ever was.
"I don't have to watch shit!" Inuyasha looked at him, his eyes flashing red for a second. It was one of Kagome's friends. 'Zinan I think.' "You seen Kagome." Zinan looked at him like he'd lost his damn mind.
"Like I'd tell you! Why don't you just leave her the fuck alone! You and your boy Kouga have already done her enough pain to last a lifetime. With guys like you, no wonder half the women population are dykes." Inuyasha rolled his eyes to the ceiling. He was very aware of how fucked up the situation was.
"I don't want your shit, just the answer." Zinan smirked. "Oh you got more balls than I thought. Listen mut, I ain't like half the douche bags in this school. I could care less who you fucked, or who you want. I ain't finna kiss ass just to get a spotlight in the popular crowd. There's your goddamn answer."
"She's not as innocent as you may think!! That bitch gave it up!! Okay?!! fuck!! Kouga isn't the only one with the damn problem!! She can't keep her damn legs closed!!" The rest of the comment halted. It wasn't suppose to come out like that. That was his stupid mind, believing Kouga's words.
Zinan swallowed the urge to take this fool on right then and there. "I don't know what she sees in your ass. If you believe your boy so much, go ask him why his father forced Kagome to have an abortion? You wanted some evidence of that night. There's some. Oh, and ask your boy Hiten where was he that night." He harshly whispered. Glaring at him, Zinan walked away, pain tugging at his heart for his friend. A friend that didn't deserve half the shit that was happening right now.
!@!@!@
Emi smiled at Zinan when she saw him in lunch. By the look on his face, he wasn't in the mood to talk. "What happened?" "That asshole Inuyasha came up to me today." "Oh." Emi didn't say more.
She knew very well what the topic of their conversation was. She started to play with her fingers, causing a distraction from Zinan. "What's wrong with you? You've been awfully quiet lately." Emi wanted to cry.
"Emi?" Zinan came around the table and sat on her side. Wrapping his arms around her, she laid her head on his shoulder, sniffing. "There's something I haven't told the band....or you." "What?" "I......I might have c-cancer."
Zinan stared down at her, seeing her in a whole new perspective. She looked even more beautiful. "So, when do you plan on telling the rest of the guys?" Emi was silent for a while. "I was hoping....you could tell them....After my funeral."
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
Kagura counted to ten and swallowed hard. Letting out one smooth breath, she tried to come to terms at what the doctor is saying. Dr. Myouga continued to check her symptoms.
"Mrs. Mamoru, how long has your husband been out of town?" "For about three days now." "Well I suggest you two have a talk. For your marriage and the health of this child."
Kagura paled. "What's wrong with the baby?" Myouga frowned. "You're under a lot of stress, which means the baby is stressed. I can only assume you know what that means."
She nodded, knowing full well the effects of stressed mothers. Putting down the clipboard, Myouga checked her heart rate. "Is there any problems at home?" Kagura averted her gaze to the floor. "Of course not."
Putting down his stethoscope, he stared at her for a moment, sniffing out the traces of a very fat lie. "Kagura, I've been the family doctor for a long time, but am first and foremost your friend. My job is to help you not hurt you. Whatever words are exchanged here, stay here."
Tears sprang to her eyes, but having too much pride, a trait she picked up from her dear husband, she quickly wiped them away. "I guess I'm just scared that's all. When Sesshomaru said he wanted a child, all I wanted to do was make him happy. Putting my whole career as a lawyer on hold."
"Have you told him about it?" Kagura shook her head. "I couldn't do that. At times, I couldn't be more happier to have this child, but other times I feel like what I'm doing is so insignificant to him....I-I'm scared h-he might not even b-be there to see the face of his first child."
Myouga sighed. "That's quite a handful. Well, the birth isn't for another couple of months, I'm sure-." "Two months doctor.." Kagura muttered. "Excuse me?" She turned to the window. "I said two months. My baby will be here in October....I should go."
Myouga nodded, giving her a warm hug. "Don't worry. If there's any woman that can take Sesshomaru down, it's you. Hell, you got him all the way to the alter." Kagura laughed, wrapping her arms around the old man. "Thanks."
!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@! Guessing Games.
Miroku and Sango sat on the soft sand, snuggled up to each other, watching a fabulous Miami sunset spread brilliant colors of orange, purple and pink across the ocean. From a stranger's eyes, the couple looked quite content with each other, but that was only half true.
Sango's mind wheeled. She hadn't seen her boyfriend for a good week, no doubt her own fault, and she felt like shit. Especially when she saw Miroku checking out the ice cream clerk's ass.
'Oh what have I done...' Miroku glanced down at her, then back at the ocean. "What's wrong." Sango looked up at him to see his gaze not on her. She fidgeted. "Nothing. Why do you ask?"
"Sango, I've been peeking up your skirt since third grade. I know when something's wrong with my girl." Sango crossed her arms. "I did leave you know. I've changed over the last two years."
Miroku smirked. "Not so much that I can't tell. Two years out of the entire ten isn't going to change that, now answer the question." Sango gave a shaky sigh. "There's nothing to tell."
Rolling his eyes, he took her hand, and intertwined her smooth fingers with his own. "So I guess we're playing the guessing game." Sango laughed.
"Let's see. Is it about a friend?" Sango shrugged. "I guess." "Are you and that friend close?" "Yes. Definitely." Miroku thought some more. "Is it about Kagome?" Sango saddened even more. That was another problem that needed fixing.
"She's.....she's one of the things that concern me, but that's not why you're guessing." Miroku nodded. Inuyasha hadn't been all there in the past week or so either. 'I'll have to talk to him later...' Turning his attention back to the matter at hand, he continued to guess what was on his girlfriend's troubled mind.
"Is it about a guy?" Sango blushed. Miroku wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. Who the hell was she sneaking around with, and how far had they gone?!
Letting go of her hand, he continued to ask the questions. "Does he go to our school?" She nodded, a little disappointed that he let go of her hand. Miroku stared out to the ocean, making no attempt to look at her.
"Are you two close?" "Yes. Very close." "Well then who the fuck is he?!" Sango jumped of the harshness in his voice. 'Does he think.....oh no, Miroku you idiot.' "Miroku, I'm not dating another guy."
Miroku glanced at her as the conclusion popped into his head. 'Oh, it's about me.' "So, what's wrong with you and this special guy." Sango stared at her manicured feet, wiggling them in the sand.
"Nothing. I'm just scared we'll get too close?" Miroku raised an eyebrow. "Too close?" "Yes. I don't want this guy to get bored with me." "Bored with you. Sango, you're not making sense."
"I'm not ready to have sex yet okay?!" It wasn't suppose to come out that way. Sango sighed, feeling like grade-A cow manure. Miroku was shocked to say the least. Was this the problem?
He smirked, having to admit that they were getting closer and closer to his bed room by the day. What pissed him off was the simple fact that she felt she had to keep a thing like this from him.
'She should know I love her. As much as I feel up on the perfectly sculpted ass, it should be a damn given..' Then it hit him. Was she trying to say she didn't WANT to sleep with him? "So, I'm not qualified or something?"
Closing her eyes, she fell back into the sand. "No, that's not what I'm saying. When and if I'm ready, I'll be more than happy to be your Victoria."
Miroku laid down, rolling on top of her. "I can wait. I've been doing it for eight years now." "But I don't want you to sleep around while waiting on me." Shaking his head, his hands went down to her hips. " I don't want any other girls. You're my girl. I shouldn't even have to say it. I stole your first kiss when you were getting ready to waste it on Hiten, and my first wet dream....well, that actually went to Kagome."
Sango raised her eyebrows surprised. "Really? Why her and not me?" "Well remember that halloween she was a broadway show girl?....*Sigh* She sure had the hips for that suit."
Sango rolled her eyes. "What ever." "Don't worry, yours are just as wonderful. There's only one difference." "What?" Miroku grinned. "Kagome's not ticklish." Sango screamed as his fingers moved around her stomach.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Kikyou continued to silently stare at her uncle across the table from him. All of her relatives were a pain in her ass, but none as much as he. Naraku was the pure essence of evil. But the way he carried him self with such class and dignity, putting everyone else at the bottom of his shoe. She envied him.
"So what do I owe the pleasure of this trip uncle." Naraku placed his glass of wine on the table, giving her a dark smile. "Just the pleasure of seeing my favorite niece."
Kikyou smirked. He knew damn well the power he held over her. 'And yet he acts as if it's the least of his worries. Don't worry dear uncle. Once I destroy you, there will be nothing more for you to smile about.'
"Bullshit Naraku." His cut Kikyou an icy glare as for a warning. "Watch your mouth." Kikyou didn't back down, but obeyed his command none the less. "Answer the question." "Well, your birthday is coming up-." "You missed my birthday. It was July 30th. Again, what are you doing here."
Naraku gave a genuine smile this time. 'Looks like someone already beat me to it.' "What's the matter dear Kikyou? You're as pissed as a cat in heat. Inuyasha still not picking up the stench of your horniness?"
"Fuck you!" He laughed. "Okay darling, I have a way to make it up to you. Are you familiar with the name Higurashi?" Kikyou nodded. "Their little bitch has been trampling over my territory. It's about time I took her down a peg or two."
Naraku shook his head no. "There's no need for that. Mr. Higurashi works for me now. Brilliant man. He's fired at your command." Kikyou's grinch smile grew ten times wider that day. "Do it."
*@!@*@*@*@*@@*@*@*
"And with the new curtains, it'll be perfect!" Kagome sat in agony, listening to Jenny, the assistant dance coordinator, talk on and on about the big event.
After a painful two hours, the meeting was closed. Kagome thanked the heavens, and glanced at her watch. She had been in school a total of 10 hours. "I really need to get a life."
"Oh Kagome?" The annoyingly perky voice spoke up. Kagome cursed under her breath, spinning back around on her heals. "Yeah Jenny?" "Can I speak with you a moment?"
'NO! YOU JUST SPOKE FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT!' "Sure." Jenny led them back into the classroom, and shut the door. "Kagome we need to know your eight songs by Monday, seeing as how the dance is on a Wednesday."
Kagome absently nodded. "Yes, yes I know. I'm sorry but we've just been really busy and-wait, EIGHT SONGS?!! That wasn't the agreement Jenny!" Jenny went over to the teacher's desk, pretending to study something on the blank sheets of paper.
"Yes, but there has been a problem, and Kikyou said your band would be happy to do the songs since you all weren't doing anything." Kagome crossed her arms. "That sleazy, skimpy, piece of....Forget it. What kind of problem do you have?!"
She snatched the papers form Jenny's hand, tossing them behind her. "Ouch!" Jenny looked down at her finger to see a paper cut on her thumb. "Answer me." She jumped at the harsh sounding words.
"K-Kiyou cursed out the Dj. we had payed to play. He quit, and Now all we have it some CDs and you guys. Oh please Kagome. If I don't get this fixed, Kikyou will take it out all on me!"
"Sounds like a personal problem to me!" 'How dare that bitch do this?!' Kagome heaved. Nothing seemed to be going right. She looked, felt, and was being treated like shit, and on top of everything, she had this to deal with too.
She glanced over at Jenny, seeing the poor blonde looking just as stressed as she was. Just because Kikyou is a bitch to her, doesn't mean other people had to suffer with her. 'The band is going to kill me.'
Kagome closed her eyes and sighed. " Look, you can't have the band, BUT I will stay for the night and sing the last song for the evening. In the meantime, work on that Dj."
Jenny shrieked, pulling Kaogme in for a big hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I swear you're a Saint!!! Up there with Michael Angelo!" Kagome smirked. 'So it's true. All blondes are dumb.' "Uh Jenny, Michaeln Angelo wasn't a Saint, he was a artist."
Jenny slowly released her, clearly confused. "But I thought he wasn known for being in the church." "No sweets. He was known for painting on the ceiling of a church. One of his most famous works."
Kagome watched her eyes grow big with wander. "Really?! How did he paint upside down like that?" "He....just forget it. I'll see ya later ok?" She left before she had to explain the works of a latter and the pulley system.

Inuyasha walked through the halls, half aware. He had skipped History to give himself some time to think...A lot of good that did. Kagome stayed on his mind every second. The look on her face in the gym.....he never thought he was capable of putting that look on her. She was repulsed by him and he could smell it a mile off.
He had to talk to her. He needed to talk to her before he killed himself. 'Why did I ever let her go?!! For him!?!! I can honestly say I wasn't all there when I shook hands with him.'
Inuyasha came out of his own world when he bumped into someone. "Watch where the hell you're goin!" He wasn't in the mood to be semi nice today. Like he ever was.
"I don't have to watch shit!" Inuyasha looked at him, his eyes flashing red for a second. It was one of Kagome's friends. 'Zinan I think.' "You seen Kagome." Zinan looked at him like he'd lost his damn mind.
"Like I'd tell you! Why don't you just leave her the fuck alone! You and your boy Kouga have already done her enough pain to last a lifetime. With guys like you, no wonder half the women population are dykes." Inuyasha rolled his eyes to the ceiling. He was very aware of how fucked up the situation was.
"I don't want your shit, just the answer." Zinan smirked. "Oh you got more balls than I thought. Listen mut, I ain't like half the douche bags in this school. I could care less who you fucked, or who you want. I ain't finna kiss ass just to get a spotlight in the popular crowd. There's your goddamn answer."
"She's not as innocent as you may think!! That bitch gave it up!! Okay?!! fuck!! Kouga isn't the only one with the damn problem!! She can't keep her damn legs closed!!" The rest of the comment halted. It wasn't suppose to come out like that. That was his stupid mind, believing Kouga's words.
Zinan swallowed the urge to take this fool on right then and there. "I don't know what she sees in your ass. If you believe your boy so much, go ask him why his father forced Kagome to have an abortion? You wanted some evidence of that night. There's some. Oh, and ask your boy Hiten where was he that night." He harshly whispered. Glaring at him, Zinan walked away, pain tugging at his heart for his friend. A friend that didn't deserve half the shit that was happening right now.
!@!@!@
Emi smiled at Zinan when she saw him in lunch. By the look on his face, he wasn't in the mood to talk. "What happened?" "That asshole Inuyasha came up to me today." "Oh." Emi didn't say more.
She knew very well what the topic of their conversation was. She started to play with her fingers, causing a distraction from Zinan. "What's wrong with you? You've been awfully quiet lately." Emi wanted to cry.
"Emi?" Zinan came around the table and sat on her side. Wrapping his arms around her, she laid her head on his shoulder, sniffing. "There's something I haven't told the band....or you." "What?" "I......I might have c-cancer."
Zinan stared down at her, seeing her in a whole new perspective. She looked even more beautiful. "So, when do you plan on telling the rest of the guys?" Emi was silent for a while. "I was hoping....you could tell them....After my funeral."

Kagura counted to ten and swallowed hard. Letting out one smooth breath, she tried to come to terms at what the doctor is saying. Dr. Myouga continued to check her symptoms.
"Mrs. Mamoru, how long has your husband been out of town?" "For about three days now." "Well I suggest you two have a talk. For your marriage and the health of this child."
Kagura paled. "What's wrong with the baby?" Myouga frowned. "You're under a lot of stress, which means the baby is stressed. I can only assume you know what that means."
She nodded, knowing full well the effects of stressed mothers. Putting down the clipboard, Myouga checked her heart rate. "Is there any problems at home?" Kagura averted her gaze to the floor. "Of course not."
Putting down his stethoscope, he stared at her for a moment, sniffing out the traces of a very fat lie. "Kagura, I've been the family doctor for a long time, but am first and foremost your friend. My job is to help you not hurt you. Whatever words are exchanged here, stay here."
Tears sprang to her eyes, but having too much pride, a trait she picked up from her dear husband, she quickly wiped them away. "I guess I'm just scared that's all. When Sesshomaru said he wanted a child, all I wanted to do was make him happy. Putting my whole career as a lawyer on hold."
"Have you told him about it?" Kagura shook her head. "I couldn't do that. At times, I couldn't be more happier to have this child, but other times I feel like what I'm doing is so insignificant to him....I-I'm scared h-he might not even b-be there to see the face of his first child."
Myouga sighed. "That's quite a handful. Well, the birth isn't for another couple of months, I'm sure-." "Two months doctor.." Kagura muttered. "Excuse me?" She turned to the window. "I said two months. My baby will be here in October....I should go."
Myouga nodded, giving her a warm hug. "Don't worry. If there's any woman that can take Sesshomaru down, it's you. Hell, you got him all the way to the alter." Kagura laughed, wrapping her arms around the old man. "Thanks."
!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@! Guessing Games.
Miroku and Sango sat on the soft sand, snuggled up to each other, watching a fabulous Miami sunset spread brilliant colors of orange, purple and pink across the ocean. From a stranger's eyes, the couple looked quite content with each other, but that was only half true.
Sango's mind wheeled. She hadn't seen her boyfriend for a good week, no doubt her own fault, and she felt like shit. Especially when she saw Miroku checking out the ice cream clerk's ass.
'Oh what have I done...' Miroku glanced down at her, then back at the ocean. "What's wrong." Sango looked up at him to see his gaze not on her. She fidgeted. "Nothing. Why do you ask?"
"Sango, I've been peeking up your skirt since third grade. I know when something's wrong with my girl." Sango crossed her arms. "I did leave you know. I've changed over the last two years."
Miroku smirked. "Not so much that I can't tell. Two years out of the entire ten isn't going to change that, now answer the question." Sango gave a shaky sigh. "There's nothing to tell."
Rolling his eyes, he took her hand, and intertwined her smooth fingers with his own. "So I guess we're playing the guessing game." Sango laughed.
"Let's see. Is it about a friend?" Sango shrugged. "I guess." "Are you and that friend close?" "Yes. Definitely." Miroku thought some more. "Is it about Kagome?" Sango saddened even more. That was another problem that needed fixing.
"She's.....she's one of the things that concern me, but that's not why you're guessing." Miroku nodded. Inuyasha hadn't been all there in the past week or so either. 'I'll have to talk to him later...' Turning his attention back to the matter at hand, he continued to guess what was on his girlfriend's troubled mind.
"Is it about a guy?" Sango blushed. Miroku wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. Who the hell was she sneaking around with, and how far had they gone?!
Letting go of her hand, he continued to ask the questions. "Does he go to our school?" She nodded, a little disappointed that he let go of her hand. Miroku stared out to the ocean, making no attempt to look at her.
"Are you two close?" "Yes. Very close." "Well then who the fuck is he?!" Sango jumped of the harshness in his voice. 'Does he think.....oh no, Miroku you idiot.' "Miroku, I'm not dating another guy."
Miroku glanced at her as the conclusion popped into his head. 'Oh, it's about me.' "So, what's wrong with you and this special guy." Sango stared at her manicured feet, wiggling them in the sand.
"Nothing. I'm just scared we'll get too close?" Miroku raised an eyebrow. "Too close?" "Yes. I don't want this guy to get bored with me." "Bored with you. Sango, you're not making sense."
"I'm not ready to have sex yet okay?!" It wasn't suppose to come out that way. Sango sighed, feeling like grade-A cow manure. Miroku was shocked to say the least. Was this the problem?
He smirked, having to admit that they were getting closer and closer to his bed room by the day. What pissed him off was the simple fact that she felt she had to keep a thing like this from him.
'She should know I love her. As much as I feel up on the perfectly sculpted ass, it should be a damn given..' Then it hit him. Was she trying to say she didn't WANT to sleep with him? "So, I'm not qualified or something?"
Closing her eyes, she fell back into the sand. "No, that's not what I'm saying. When and if I'm ready, I'll be more than happy to be your Victoria."
Miroku laid down, rolling on top of her. "I can wait. I've been doing it for eight years now." "But I don't want you to sleep around while waiting on me." Shaking his head, his hands went down to her hips. " I don't want any other girls. You're my girl. I shouldn't even have to say it. I stole your first kiss when you were getting ready to waste it on Hiten, and my first wet dream....well, that actually went to Kagome."
Sango raised her eyebrows surprised. "Really? Why her and not me?" "Well remember that halloween she was a broadway show girl?....*Sigh* She sure had the hips for that suit."
Sango rolled her eyes. "What ever." "Don't worry, yours are just as wonderful. There's only one difference." "What?" Miroku grinned. "Kagome's not ticklish." Sango screamed as his fingers moved around her stomach.

Kikyou continued to silently stare at her uncle across the table from him. All of her relatives were a pain in her ass, but none as much as he. Naraku was the pure essence of evil. But the way he carried him self with such class and dignity, putting everyone else at the bottom of his shoe. She envied him.
"So what do I owe the pleasure of this trip uncle." Naraku placed his glass of wine on the table, giving her a dark smile. "Just the pleasure of seeing my favorite niece."
Kikyou smirked. He knew damn well the power he held over her. 'And yet he acts as if it's the least of his worries. Don't worry dear uncle. Once I destroy you, there will be nothing more for you to smile about.'
"Bullshit Naraku." His cut Kikyou an icy glare as for a warning. "Watch your mouth." Kikyou didn't back down, but obeyed his command none the less. "Answer the question." "Well, your birthday is coming up-." "You missed my birthday. It was July 30th. Again, what are you doing here."
Naraku gave a genuine smile this time. 'Looks like someone already beat me to it.' "What's the matter dear Kikyou? You're as pissed as a cat in heat. Inuyasha still not picking up the stench of your horniness?"
"Fuck you!" He laughed. "Okay darling, I have a way to make it up to you. Are you familiar with the name Higurashi?" Kikyou nodded. "Their little bitch has been trampling over my territory. It's about time I took her down a peg or two."
Naraku shook his head no. "There's no need for that. Mr. Higurashi works for me now. Brilliant man. He's fired at your command." Kikyou's grinch smile grew ten times wider that day. "Do it."
*@!@*@*@*@*@@*@*@*
"And with the new curtains, it'll be perfect!" Kagome sat in agony, listening to Jenny, the assistant dance coordinator, talk on and on about the big event.
After a painful two hours, the meeting was closed. Kagome thanked the heavens, and glanced at her watch. She had been in school a total of 10 hours. "I really need to get a life."
"Oh Kagome?" The annoyingly perky voice spoke up. Kagome cursed under her breath, spinning back around on her heals. "Yeah Jenny?" "Can I speak with you a moment?"
'NO! YOU JUST SPOKE FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT!' "Sure." Jenny led them back into the classroom, and shut the door. "Kagome we need to know your eight songs by Monday, seeing as how the dance is on a Wednesday."
Kagome absently nodded. "Yes, yes I know. I'm sorry but we've just been really busy and-wait, EIGHT SONGS?!! That wasn't the agreement Jenny!" Jenny went over to the teacher's desk, pretending to study something on the blank sheets of paper.
"Yes, but there has been a problem, and Kikyou said your band would be happy to do the songs since you all weren't doing anything." Kagome crossed her arms. "That sleazy, skimpy, piece of....Forget it. What kind of problem do you have?!"
She snatched the papers form Jenny's hand, tossing them behind her. "Ouch!" Jenny looked down at her finger to see a paper cut on her thumb. "Answer me." She jumped at the harsh sounding words.
"K-Kiyou cursed out the Dj. we had payed to play. He quit, and Now all we have it some CDs and you guys. Oh please Kagome. If I don't get this fixed, Kikyou will take it out all on me!"
"Sounds like a personal problem to me!" 'How dare that bitch do this?!' Kagome heaved. Nothing seemed to be going right. She looked, felt, and was being treated like shit, and on top of everything, she had this to deal with too.
She glanced over at Jenny, seeing the poor blonde looking just as stressed as she was. Just because Kikyou is a bitch to her, doesn't mean other people had to suffer with her. 'The band is going to kill me.'
Kagome closed her eyes and sighed. " Look, you can't have the band, BUT I will stay for the night and sing the last song for the evening. In the meantime, work on that Dj."
Jenny shrieked, pulling Kaogme in for a big hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I swear you're a Saint!!! Up there with Michael Angelo!" Kagome smirked. 'So it's true. All blondes are dumb.' "Uh Jenny, Michaeln Angelo wasn't a Saint, he was a artist."
Jenny slowly released her, clearly confused. "But I thought he wasn known for being in the church." "No sweets. He was known for painting on the ceiling of a church. One of his most famous works."
Kagome watched her eyes grow big with wander. "Really?! How did he paint upside down like that?" "He....just forget it. I'll see ya later ok?" She left before she had to explain the works of a latter and the pulley system.
