A/N: My plan was to put this story on hiatus until That Night was finished, but due to complanative reviews, I have decided to update. Hope you're happy Squeeggy!

College Life: Chapter Seven

"Barkeep! Another please." Sango requested another G and T from the bartender, shaking the glass that had previously been filled with the sweet poison. Kagome idly ran her finger around the rim of her glass. She so should've met up with Inuyasha and the others. They had told her about a kegger over at the Alpha Beta house, but she had turned down their invitation because she had promised to keep Sango company for the night. She was getting very bored.

"You know Sango; if all you wanted to do was drink yourself silly, we could've gone over to the party at the Alpha Beta frat house. At least we could meet some new people there." Kagome informed her, soon-to-be inebriated friend.

"Kagome, you know I couldn't go to that. Miroku is there. I just want to be away from him for a little while." Sango said.

"Why? Sitting here isn't going to help you get him back any sooner!" Kagome shouted, earning a few stares from others at the pub.

"I'm not getting him back. I have to agree with him, if I can't trust him we won't be able to maintain a relationship. As much as I want to trust him, I just don't have it in me." Sango replied.

"Quit being so damn logical about everything! This is no time to be thinking! You and Miroku were made for each other and if you can't see that, I guess I gave you too much credit." Kagome huffed. "Look, if you don't want to hang out with Miroku, I'll keep him busy alright? I just really want to go to that party!"

"Fine, just stop wining." Sango resigned, rolling her eyes. "If you want to go that bad, I guess I have nothing to lose by coming with.

Sango was glad that she had agreed to go to the party after they arrived at the frat house. The whole 'in-crowd' seemed to be there, and hell, maybe there were a few guys she could get to know a little better. Kagome, however, saw something that made her alert light flash red. Miroku was, flirting with some girl Kagome did not know. It was not something she didn't expect, but if Miroku and Sango were going to get back together anytime soon, he had to be stopped. "Sango, why don't you get us both some drinks?" Kagome advised, shoving Sango in the direction of the makeshift bar, using this opportunity to break up Miroku's little conversation. She made her way over to where Miroku and the girl were. "Hey 'roku." Kagome greeted him, fastening herself to his arm.

"Kagome!" Miroku said cheerily. "I didn't know you were here! Have you been around long?"

"No, I just got here." Kagome answered. "Were you leaving?"

"Well Tanya and I were about to split, but since you showed up, I guess it couldn't hurt to stick around a little longer. What'd you say?" he asked, turning to Tanya.

Tanya glared at Kagome. "Who's she?"

"How rude of me! Tanya this is Kagome, she and I went to the same high school. Kagome, this is Tanya, I just met her tonight." Miroku introduced to two to each other.

"You two aren't together are you?" Tanya asked suspiciously.

Kagome grinned. This bimbo was making things a lot easier then they would've been otherwise. "Yes." she answered before Miroku hand a chance to respond. "Yes we are."

"You bastard!" Tanya pointed and accusing finger at Miroku. She threw her dink in his face, turned heel and left.

Miroku wiped the alcohol off his face with his shirt, cursing as it stung his eyes. "What was that for?" he asked Kagome. "Couldn't you see I was trying to score?"

"Precisely. Why else would've I told such a lie?"

"Back up a second. Do you have some kind of problem with me hooking another girl?"

"Of course I do!" Kagome said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Miroku wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her closer to him. "Well Kagome if you were still interested in me, all you had to do was say so."

Kagome backed away a bit. Miroku was obviously a little tipsy. "Wipe that stupid grin off your face! I'm not the one still interested in you! It's Sango."

"Oh." Miroku said with disappointment evident in his voice. He released Kagome. "Well, that's a different matter all together. She has issues with trust. If she suspects me of cheating every time some girl comes on to me, she's going to spend all her time trying to figure out if I have something going on on the side. I can't help the fact that the women can't get enough of me! I don't remember asking to be born a chick magnet!"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Look, if you want Sango to trust you, the best way is to stay single during your time apart! Sooner or later she'll see that she was wrong to ever doubt you!"

"But Tanya said-"

"Forget what that bitch said!" Kagome shouted. "She has no place trying to further part that which was meant to be!"

"Now that was uncalled for." Miroku scolded. "You didn't have to call her a bitch."

"It's what she is." Kagome protested. "Now go find Sango and start up a conversation. If she and you both get drunk enough you may not even have to wait until she realizes her mistake!"

Miroku gave her an odd look. "Let me get this straight. You want us both to get pissed drunk, just so we can bang each other and you expect that to bring us back together?" he asked.

"It was meant to be." Kagome assured him with a wink.

"Fine, but I'm only doing this to please you. And I'm not going to guarantee any sex or any getting back together. In fact, I'll probably do all I can to avoid that."

"Whatever. Just get out there and find her!" Kagome said impatiently, shoving him into the milling crowd. "Whoever thought it would be so hard to play matchmaker?"
