Blind Date, Future Mate!
Hey everyone! Sorry for the really late update, I've been very busy with family things right now so PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Anyways, let's get started. DISCLAIMER: Have you ever seen a dog give birth to a cat? Nope? Of course not, so the possibility of seeing that happen is the same possibility of me owning Inuyasha!
NOTE: I'm switch the POV back to normal; writing it through Inuyasha's eyes was cool but in order to do some parts it required a normal POV. Gomen if you guys really liked that.

Chapter 3: Miroku, meet your worst nightmare…I mean date!
"My name is….Sango…" The girl said. Miroku just couldn't pull his eyes away. It wasn't that she horrifically ugly, no, this woman was astoundingly beautiful! What he couldn't stop staring at was what she was wearing.
Sango was clad in a tight fitting black leather top that was short enough to show much of her cleavage and her midriff. She also wore a tight black leather skirt, tight enough and short enough to bring out the roundness of her buttocks. Her shoes were black high heeled boots, giving her enough extra height to be as tall as him.
She wore many bracelets and accessories on her arms and her nails were painted pink. Her makeup consisted of a pink eye shadow and lipstick. Her dark chocolate colored hair was clipped back with pink barrettes and she held a small pink bag. To sum up her dark style of clothing, it was…gothic.
"Uh…come in Sango, please make yourself at home." Miroku stepped aside and let Sango walk in. He glanced her over once more and then gulped. This was truly a first, never before had a girl just appeared at his front door. When he would take a woman out, he would never think of bringing them to his apartment, no girl he dated knew where he lived. This, though, was incredibly weird. She was no ordinary girl, she was a goth.
"Er, please take a seat; I wasn't expecting anyone to come so I'm not exactly prepared. Wait right here," He said as he started edging his way to his bedroom. He ran for the door once he rounded the corner and shut it once he entered his room. He grabbed his cordless phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Inuyasha?" He said into the receiver as soon as Inuyasha picked up.
"Whoa, you sound really scared, what's up with you?" Inuyasha responded.
"There is this really weird girl at my house! I don't even know her and she came up to my door looking like she knew everything about me. Inuyasha, you know that no girl has ever stepped foot into my apartment! Help me get rid of her, please!" Miroku said desperately into the phone.
"Wow, you sound desperate. I don't know, I've got to visit my father today–"
"Inuyasha, please, I beg of you! You see, this girl isn't ordinary, she's a goth…" Miroku shivered into the phone.
Inuyasha's eyes bugged out, he knew exactly what time Miroku's date was to arrive – which was around this time – and knew he'd call out of complete surprise, but he never contemplated how Miroku would take the girl's looks and personality. He never thought about it because he didn't know what the girl would look like either.
He was about in just as much shock as Miroku was, a little less, but still pretty shocked. "Uh, sure, I'll come over right away." With that Miroku hung up and threw the phone on the bed. Now he had to get ready; what was he going to wear, he had no dark clothes that could match with Sango's. He rummaged through his closet, all light colored clothing; he then looked through his dresser and surprisingly found, in the farthest corner of his bottom drawer, a black polo shirt that had been given to him by one of his old girlfriends.
It was still in its plastic and everything, all he had to worry about was if it fit or not. He practically ripped open the plastic and yanked out the shirt in sheer desperateness to be well dressed to impress Sango. Quickly he put the shirt on and buttoned it at top speed, leaving the first two buttons undone to show a little chest.
He then looked through all of his clothes again to search for a decent pair of pants or jeans or WHATEVER! He found a pair of slightly faded black jeans and quickly pulled them up. He ran into his personal bathroom and zipped up his pants with one hand as the other went through the medicine cabinet for his cologne. He sprayed some Cool Water (not mine!) on to himself. He also brushed his teeth and redid his hair before running out of his room.
He walked back to his living room and sat down on the couch next to Sango's. "Sorry to keep you waiting, I had a hard time deciding what to wear."
She looked at him and then said, "Next time, be a little more organized."
The way she said it made Miroku shiver; there was this sort of coldness in her voice that got him scared. He fervently shook his head and gulped again. "So, Sango, what do you do for a living?" He asked, trying his best to start a conversation.
"I'm an artist," She said simply.
"Oh…what do you draw?"
"I draw pictures of reality, what really happens in today's world. Rich hotshots and bankers, political leaders and the pinnacle people that run this country; they know nothing about the pain that proletarian people go through. That is what I draw, average people's pain."
"Ah, uh, okay, sounds like a very fun job…" Miroku sweat dropped and scratched his head.
"What about you, uh, what's your name?" Sango asked with an indifferent look.
"The name's Miroku, I'm still going to college but mostly to bone up on things. I might become a monk; it's kind of a family thing."
"Yes, well, it's good to meet you Miroku. You do know why I'm here right? I'm your d-" Sango was about to say but was interrupted by a knock on the door. She looked sort of irritated but sat back in the couch.
Miroku got up and excused himself; he walked over to the door knowing full well who was on the other side. "Ah, Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" He said out loud, looking at his friend with pleading eyes to play along.
"Yeah, just wanted to stop by and see my dear old friend. Seems you've got company, sorry was I intruding? Maybe I should leave…" Inuyasha turned around and was holding back a laugh. Miroku was desperate and it was terribly funny. As he was about to walk down the steps, his hand was snatched and he was dragged into Miroku's apartment.
"You don't have to leave, Inuyasha, stay for a while and meet Sango!" Miroku said strongly. Inuyasha couldn't escape now – not that he was planning to – but it just made the situation a little bit funnier. Miroku slammed the door shut once Inuyasha was inside and pointed to the couch he was originally sitting in.
Inuyasha sat down, as did Miroku, and the trio just sat in silence for a while, well, until Inuyasha decided to lighten the mood. "So, Ms. Sango, nice to meet you. I'm Miroku's long time friend. How long have you known him? Are you two dating?" Inuyasha stifled back his laughter again when he saw the look on his best friend's face.
"Yes, we are dating, even though I just met him." Sango sounded completely unfazed by the question; Miroku on the other hand went ten shades paler.
"E-er, what are you talking about, Sango? We aren't dating!" Miroku stuttered out.
"Well then why did you call a Blind Date Service and ask for one? I was called and they told me to go to this address to meet my 'future mate'."
"I didn't call for one," He quickly said back. Inuyasha couldn't hold it down any longer, he started laughing at the both of them. "Why are you laughing? Do you know something, Inuyasha?"
"Let me just (wheeze) catch my (hahn) breath!" He said between laughs. "I was the one who called for her; she's your new girlfriend, Miroku!"
"What!" he screamed.
"Yeah, I was getting kind of desperate. Hey, you wanted a girl, I got you one, now you have to hold up your end of the bargain!"
Miroku was slack jawed, he couldn't say anything! How could Inuyasha be so cruel like that? Just call for some girl to drop by and expect him, playboy and heartbreaker, to fall in love just like that? It was ridiculous and just plain stupid, he couldn't believe Inuyasha did that and still expected him to cooperate in getting Kagome.
He stared at Sango and then at Inuyasha. It was kind of weird; they both had that strange "I'm dangerous, don't piss me off or I'll kill you" sort of attitude and both seemed sarcastic in some ways, they also seemed inapproachable but he somehow managed to befriend Inuyasha, so could he do the same with Sango? He cleared his throat and stood up.
"Well, Inuyasha, I'm upset that you didn't tell me about it but I'll let it slip. You probably wanted to surprise me right? Thanks buddy, now I can get started on your own date," Miroku said.
"Awesome, I've been waiting for this moment!" Inuyasha said excitement.
"But I won't do it immediately; because you 'surprised' me, I'm going to hold it off for a bit longer. First I'm going to turn Sango here, from gothic to classy." At the sound of her name Sango looked at him funny.
"You're going to try and turn her, Ms. Death princess over here, into an elegant and sophisticated woman? I'd like to see you try!" Inuyasha couldn't determine if Kami was on his good or bad side; he did what he was asked and got Miroku his girlfriend, that was a good, he managed to surprise his best friend, another good, but when Miroku said he wouldn't help with Kagome, that was bad, MAJOR BAD!
"That is exactly what I plan to do and guess what; you're going to help me again!" he said smugly.
"What! No, I'm not going to get dragged into another absurd situation!"
"Fine, if you don't mind waiting for Kagome to finally notice you, you don't have to help; but just remember that your poor friend only wanted what was best for his new girlfriend."
"You, poor? MY ASS! You're just a free loader and nothing more! You've got money, you just don't use it; you don't need my money! I gave you my time, you give me your tips; a deal's a deal and now it's your job to finish it."
Miroku frowned, Inuyasha was never this hard to persuade before. Suddenly he smiled as something came to mind, "Inuyasha, did I tell you? After you left the club, I saw Kagome dancing with Hojo all over the dance floor. It was quite the sight to see, shame you missed it." His smile grew even wider as he watched Inuyasha's temper boil.
"Hojo…did…WHAT? Fine, I'll do it, but you better hold up your end! Damn you Miroku!" Inuyasha flexed his claws and then clenched them in a fist. His right eye was twitching madly and a mean looking scowl was placed upon his lips.
"You're the best bud a guy could ask for, Inuyasha! I don't know what I'd do without you." Miroku slapped Inuyasha's back and grinned. He mumbled in response, something along the lines of "You'd be no where without me…"
Sango watched the whole ordeal with interest. From what she deduced she was part of a deal, and that if Miroku got a girlfriend, Inuyasha would get Kagome. And Kagome, she assumed, was the girl Inuyasha wanted to start a relationship with. Inuyasha completed his task but Miroku won't do his unless she became normal. 'Very interesting…' Sango thought. 'But what is normal?'

Ah, wow, short but I guess satisfying! Summer is coming to a close and I'm kind of happy, at least to get away from the heat! Hope the chapter was good enough for you guys, Sango was not at all who you guys were probably expecting. It'll get way better; I think the date will be in the next chapter, LOVE CAN'T BE RUSHED! And poor Inuyasha, he still didn't get Kagome; no problem, she'll make another entrance next chapter.
Have a great summer everyone, stay cool (or warm if you're from down under) and PLEASE REVIEW! The periwinkle 'Go' box is kind of lonely, click it and make it feel better!
