Chapter 4

SLAP The sound was ringing through the air.

"All finished, I feel much more calm now." Sango said as she sat down next to Kagome. She watched Miroku stumble on to the bus, when he faced them Kagome could see a huge red mark of a hand on his left cheek.

"Are you ok Miroku?" she asked a little worried.

"Feh. Don't worry, Sango's done worse than this to him and he survived." Inuyasha answered for him. Sango threw Inuyash a dirty look. To Kagome, Sango seemed like a nice non-violence type of girl, (heh, yea right). Then she found out that Sango was in the karate club, she thought it was only for protection, (it is kinda I guess… from Miroku's flying hands!).

"Is that why you joined the karate club?" Kagome asked Sango.

"Huh? Because of Miroku? No, I started karate before I met him. I practiced it to take care of myself and my brother…" she replied.

"You have a brother?" Kagome asked.

"Yea, his name is Kohaku. But he lost his memory, he's slowly gaining it now…" Sango replied in a somber voice.

"Wow, that must be hard on your parents. I'm sorry about that." Kagome said sadly.

"My… my parents are dead…" Sango said quietly.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" Kagome gasped.

"It's ok." Sango said, while turning away. Kagome wanted to know more about Sango's past, but seeing her friend's sad face, she decided against it. Note to self, remember to ask Inuyasha and Miroku about Sango's past. Kagome thought. The rest of the bus ride was in silence.

"So you have karate today?" Kagome asked Sango between mouthfuls of food. Sango still had food in her mouth, so she just nodded her head.

"And you're going too, right?" this time the question was directed toward Inuyasha.

"Yep." He replied shortly.

"What about Miroku?" she asked.

"Feh, he doesn't but he should." Inuyasha said, casting a look at Sango.

By this time she had finished her food, ignoring Inuyasha she asked.

"Speaking of Miroku, where is he?"

"Oh, you're worrying-" Inuyasha stopped in mid-sentence as Sango stood up abruptly and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Is she alright?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"She seems fine…" Inuysah said, looking at Sango's unfinished lunch. "She probably went off looking for Miroku. To make sure he doesn't do anything perverted."

"Is it ok if I go and watch your karate club?" Kagome asked, changing the subject.

"Sure, you can watch me kick everyone's ass in there!" Inuyasha bragged.

"I'm a black belt!"

"Isn't Sango also? Have you ever faught against her?" Kagome asked.

"Feh, like I'm stupid.I would never fight against Sango." Inuyasha said, making it sound obvious.

"Why wouldn't you?" Kagome asked, curious.

"She told me once that every time she fights she pretends her opponent is Miroku." Inuyasha said. Kagome laughed at the thought of Sango beating up a million "Miroku"s.

"I have archery tomorrow. Do you wanna come watch?" she asked.

"Umm, sure, I guess. Is anyone else going?" Inuyasha said in a shy voice.

"Nope, I asked Sango she said she's busy, same for Miroku." Kagome answered, pretending not to notice Inuyasha's shyness. "So you'll come?"

"Yea." Inuyasha said in a firmer voice.
