A/N: New chapter! Does anyone not know about my other story in progress, That Night? Its seeming increasingly unpopular. You should check it out if you hadn't already.
Review Responses
Lululu: Don't worry, the conflict is on it's way.
Sangos-gal: Thank you! At last someone understands that not every girl who wants or gets with Miroku is a slut. I didn't think anyone understood that they actually like him. I salute you for your intelligence.
Sangonesan: She might…
Cherimai: She might find out. Who knows, it's not like she doesn't have her sources.
Taijiya4ever: I dunno. I might put him in if enough people want, but I probably won't.
The Dancing Chicken: I'm glad my story is an attention grabber. Who knows what problems will elevate?
Pointy Objects: You are so great! I love how you point out what you like and don't like in detail. I'm glad I was able to 'rope you in' as you so eloquently put it. You should try writing an Inuyasha story. I want to be a chance to be as nice to you as you are to me. I bet it would be good too since you pay such close attention.
Monkeyfeet180: I'm glad I update fast enough. Don't get used to the whole two updates in one day thing though. I only did that because I had ideas and didn't want to forget them.
Tera McCaslin: I did update twice in one day. And I have to get you worried! No one would read my story if it didn't grab their interest!
College Life: Chapter Four
Miroku's eyes fluttered open as he rolled over. He checked his alarm clock. Half past 11:00. "Great." he said mentally. "I must've slept through my alarm. Why didn't Hachi wake me? Oh well." He had already missed his first two classes, but his third was an hour from now. He got out of bed and threw on a shirt and a pair of jeans and grabbed his material necessary. However, when he exited his dorm, he found the last person he wanted to see. Koga. He opted for a speedy get away but Koga noticed him before he could split. He grabbed him by the neck.
"Hey Houshi. I didn't expect to see you sleeping in like this. I thought you had an early class." Koga growled in a sarcastic tone. "Or could it be you were with Ayame last night?"
Inuyasha, who was also nearby slapped his forehead and sighed exasperatedly. "Damn it Miroku. I told you that would only lead to trouble."
Miroku shot him a glare. "You aren't exactly helping you know!" Koga drew back a fist to throw a blow, but a shout from further down the corridor stopped him.
"Koga! Put him down this instant!" Ayame yelled.
"Sorry to rearrange pretty-boy's face babe, but maybe next time he'll know not to screw around with someone else's girl." Before Koga cold throw a punch Ayame dashed over and grabbed his arm.
"Koga, don't. It's not anything like you think." Ayame tired to reason with him.
"And why, pray tell, should I believe you, you little whore? You are just as guilty as he is!" Koga bellowed.
Inuyasha figured Miroku would be torn to shreds if he didn't intervene. He grabbed Koga and held him back. "Look buddy, I don't believe them anymore than you do, but at least hear what they got to say."
Miroku wasted no time in explaining. "The only reason I went to her room is because you'd catch me if I didn't find asylum sooner! I'm sorry I kicked you but what did you expect me to do, cower in fear and wait for death?"
"I figured you'd be smart enough to know I'd kill you anyway sooner or later." Koga replied.
"Please believe us Koga!" Ayame begged. "Kagome was there, ask her!" Koga's muscles loosened. Inuyasha let him go, taking the released tension as a sign he had calmed.
"Fine. I believe you for now. But if Kagome tells me otherwise, I swear I'll be giving you twice the beating!" he threatened as he walked off.
"Thanks. I'd be dog food by now if you two hadn't been around." Miroku said gratefully to both Ayame and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha snorted. "Usually I wouldn't extend the courtesy but in a world full of demons I figured a human like you doesn't stand a chance. You owe me big time now."
Miroku chuckled. "I'll figure out something. Love to stay and chat, but I got to go to class. Peace out." He left.
"I guess I ought to thank you to. I'd hate to see someone get beat because of me." Ayame said.
"Feh. You're welcome I guess. You didn't deserve it though. I can't believe you fell for Miroku's act."
Ayame laughed. "We didn't do anything. But it would've been easy to misunderstand." she explained.
"Sure you didn't." Inuyasha drawled sarcastically. He went back into his room.
Sango was currently sitting in international relations class, but she wasn't listening to a word the professor was saying. Her mind was elsewhere. She looked like she was taking notes on her laptop, but in reality she was instant messaging with several people.
Feudal mistress (Tsuyu): Hey!
Tajiya26: yo
Feudal mistress: aren't you supposed to be in class?
Tajiya26: I am. But nothing really important is being said. Mostly orientation.
Feudal mistress: I see. More time to think about that guy of yours:-P
Tajiya26: oh, that reminds me. Think you could crash somewhere else for the night Miroku and I have err…plans.
Feudal mistress: I hear ya. No problem.
Class was ending so Sango signed off. She closed her laptop and decided to go back to the dorm. She had a while before her next class, and she was getting hungry anyway.
Miroku was eating as well. He had finished his economics class and was putting away quite a bit of food since he had missed breakfast. Kagome cam over with her tray and sat next to him. "Hey." she greeted him. "What's up?"
"Not too much. You straighten out things with Koga?" Miroku asked.
"Yup. While we're on the subject let me tell you I'm proud of you. I didn't think you'd be able to resist that opportunity like you did. You deserve a medal." Kagome congratulated him.
"You're defending him too?" Inuyasha asked as he sat down with them. "You're more naïve then I thought."
"We didn't do anything Inuyasha. Really." Miroku said.
Inuyasha however, was positive Miroku had committed an infidelity. "Sure, whatever you say dude. You just don't want to get in trouble with Sango. You know I'll tell her myself if you don't fess up."
"But I-"
"Don't try it Miroku. You may be able to fool Kagome here, but I can see right though that lie of yours. I am not so easily fooled." Inuyasha countered.
"Inuyasha, sit." He went crashing to the floor. "If Miroku said he and Ayame didn't do it, they didn't do it."
"Fat chance! We're talking Miroku here!" Inuyasha objected.
"Hey! Would you quit talking like I'm not here?" Miroku complained.
"Remember what happened last time you thought he was cheating on Sango?" Kagome replied, apparently not hearing Miroku's comment.
"But this time I'm right, I'm sure of it." Inuyasha continued.
"Yo! I'm hearing every word you say!" Miroku cut in.
"Does he smell like her?" Kagome asked, believing she had one the argument.
"No, but he's probably showered since then." Inuyasha pointed out.
"I'm leaving." Miroku said, getting up. But it fell on deaf ears. Once Inuyasha and Kagome disagreed, they won't address anything else till someone wins the argument. Miroku went off to his next class, leaving the mismatched couple to bicker.
A/N: This chapter may seem pointless, but I promise it's leading somewhere. And someone please read and review That Night. I usually don't ask for them, but I think some people may have stopped reading it because it was beginning to look Sango/Miroku-ish. It's going to be Miroku/Kagome, honest!
