Kagome stormed out the door, few tears escaping from her eyes. She didn't know if it was because of Inuyasha or because, that yet again Kikyou had bested her. As she entered the parking lot Sango hurriedly crowded around her, asking what was wrong and rubbing her back in a soothing motion. "He came back…Then he went to Kikyou." She sobbed.
"Who?" She asked curiously, "That Inuyasha man?" She demanded in a threatening way. Whoever hurt her best friend would pay. Kagome nodded in response, she couldn't sound out word any more. "Want me to make him a woman?" She asked, trying to get Kagome to say something. She shook her head signaling he should stay a man but Sango was seriously considering doing it anyway.
"Sango, do you want to come home and eat ice cream and get fat with me?" She asked, gazing up at her with teary eyes. With a look like that she doubted any one could refuse the girl crying pathetically in her arms. She gave a slight mumble of approval and hugged the girl tight. Kagome pulled her closer thinking, 'What an amazing friend I have.'
The two girls climbed into their car and drove to Kagome's home. She saw that Sango's things had been untouched, meaning she hadn't packed until she was sure her two roommates would be able to support themselves. "Sango, did you know you are the best friend ever?" She asked, heading towards the refrigerator.
She chuckled lightly; "Slightly, but I always enjoy when someone tells me that." She said humorously. Teasingly, Kagome tossed a pillow in her direction. It came to fast for Sango to dodge and hit her straight on the head. "Ouch, that was painful." She scolded with a playful tone in her voice. Kagome was such a strong person and whenever she was down Sango always tried to be the best friend she could be. She knew for a fact Kagome didn't cry easily after the accident with her parents.
"Oh, excuse me for seriously wounding you." The younger girl replied sarcastically. She reached for the chocolate ice cream hidden in the back of the fridge. Sango and her always kept it there; knowing Kikyou would chide them for having such a fattening product in their household if she knew. She debated getting two bowls out but decided that two spoons were all they needed. Next she grabbed another pillow and threw it at Sango; yet again it hit her square in the face before she even saw it coming. Sango gave her an angry glare, pursing her lips. "It slipped." Kagome answered before Sango began to berate her for throwing pillows around in such a childish manner.
Kagome plopped down on the couch, motioning to the seat next to her. Sango immediately took the hint and sat down next to her. Kagome pulled the lid off the carton and handed Sango one of the two spoons. Luckily the box was over half full; she needed it. Strangely this hurt more than many of the more major breakups in her life. "What shall we watch?" Sango asked, looking at their large collection of DVDs.
Kagome peered at the stack of movies before answering Coyote Ugly. That movie always cheers me up." She said happily. It reminded her of herself actually. In the big city trying to support herself and working at a bar that none of her family would've approved of. As Sango slid the DVD in Kagome spooned a large bite of chocolate goodness. "Yummy." She sighed, trying to forget her problems.
Sango soon returned to her seat and also began to shovel spoonfuls into her mouth. "Delicious." Sango agreed. She searched the couch for the DVD player's remote. Finally she found it incrusted under the center cushion. She hit the menu button then play and the movie began. By the end the two girls were crying their hearts out and the tub of ice cream had vanished.
As the credits played Sango hit the stop button and Kagome stood up, stretching her stiff back. "Kagome, you feel like watching another one?" Asked Sango, curious if her friend was over the little disaster with Inuyasha.
"Sure Sango, but you can pick out the movie this time." She said cheerfully. She was so grateful Sango was willing to do this for her.
Sango scanned the pile before picking out Miss Congeniality, always good for a few laughs when you were down. She put it in and cursed the commercials that they weren't aloud to skip rolled by. Kagome took this chance to go and make some popcorn. This item they had also had to hide from Kikyou since it was extra butter. She popped it into the microwave and set the timer for three minutes and 20 seconds. As the dish slowly rotated around with the popcorn on top they began to hear loud popping sounds. Kagome got a bowl out of the cupboard, checking the timer on the microwave and deciding she had time for a quick bathroom break.
Meanwhile the movie previews had finished and Sango was patiently waiting for Kagome to return from the bathroom. The microwave gave out a loud ding, scaring the life out of Sango. She must have jumped three feet into the air before unceremoniously landing on her rump. She gave her tender bottom a swift rub before making her way towards the microwave. She pulled the bag out and opened it. Satisfied at how many kernels had popped she dumped the bag into the metal bowl and returned to the couch. She patiently waited for Kagome to return, day dreaming about a certain dark haired man.
After a couple of seconds Kagome sat down on the couch where she had been previously seated. "Have you been waiting long?" She asked. She hated making people wait being impatient herself.
"Not at all." Sango answered. "Set to go?" She asked. Kagome nodded and adjusted herself into a comfortable position. The movie began and in mere minutes their eyes were leaking with humorous tears. The popcorn slowly evaporated and after half an hour Sango needed a drink. "Want anything?" She asked getting up. Kagome paused the movie before also rising.
"Um, no I think I'm good." She answered as Sango made her way into the kitchen. She heard a can of cola being opened then poured into a cup, making a fizzing sound. Suddenly she was dehydrated, and followed Sango into the kitchen. "Maybe I'll have something after all." She said grabbing another can, she didn't bother pouring it into a cup and drank it straight from the cup.
They returned to the movie and watched for another half an hour before Sango had to empty her bladder. Yet again Kagome paused the movie and waited for Sango to return. As she waited in the living room she heard the door open. It was Kikyou. Kagome glared a hole in the wall, she didn't want to hear about her latest conquest, she wasn't in the mood to humor her.
"Hey Kagome." The older girl gushed. "Guess what!" She squealed with fake delight. She couldn't wait to rub this in the younger girl's face.
"What?" She asked, not the least curious. She already knew what she was going to say.
"That Inuyasha man came back to the bar today to get his things while you were out. While he was there he came onto me like a starved lion on a piece of juicy fresh meat." She said, extending her lie with exaggerations.
"Really now?" Kagome asked flatly. She really wanted Sango to return.
"Yes. And my, he was quite the kisser, and an amazing fuck. He was so huge." She said although she really had no clue. "I guess he finally realized who was the better woman." She said indicating to her body. By now Kagome was trembling with anger. "Oh, I'm sorry." She said, bringing her hand to her lips. "I forgot you felt something for him Kagome-chan. I'm sorry, I forgot." She lied.
Kagome stood up as Sango returned from the bathroom. She saw that Kagome's face was bright red with anger and that her lip was quivering, Kikyou was pushing it and Kagome had had it. "Listen here you bitch." She said calmly. "That dumb bastard means shit to me. He's all yours you sleazy dirt bag!" She screamed. Then faster than any of the girls could see the youngest girl's hand slapped Kikyou straight across the face.
"How dare you!" She shrieked after the shock had left the room. The tension was thick in the room. She brought her hands to cradle her swollen cheek. "I fucking raised you! Took you off the streets and taught you everything you know!" She seethed. Her face was a cherry red. "Don't depend on me to help you any more!" She shouted. "I'm moving out as soon as possible. And don't expect to see me at the club any more! I quit as of tonight!" She screamed. She spun in her black high-heeled boot and stormed out of the large apartment.
As soon as the oldest girl was out of sight Kagome collapsed onto the couch. "Sango, I fucked up! Now I have no roommates and I don't make enough to live on my own. I won't feel comfortable living with a stranger!" She sobbed. Angry tears slid down her cheeks. "What do I do?" She exclaimed.
The older girl had no answer but went to the girl and hugged her as tight as she could. She whispered in her ear, "Kagome, I won't move out until I find you the perfect roommate." She began to rub her back in a soothing motion and soon Kagome fell asleep on the older girl's shoulder. She laid the sleeping girl down on the couch and made to the phone. She dialed Miroku's number, which she had memorized by heart.
It rang twice before a girl answered the phone. "Hello, Shizaku Miroku's residence." The feminine voice answered.
Sango gasped at the phone before answering in a deadly voice. "Tell Mr. Shizaku that not only did his best friend royally fuck up, but he did too, a message from Sango. Tell him that for me please Miss." She said in a sugary sweet voice. After that she slammed the phone down. Watery tears streamed down her face. She went to Kagome's sleeping body and laid down next to her, hugging the girl close before falling into a deep sleep.
