What Was it That You Never Said?
Chapter 2: Set Up.
The college was small for a university, but had a big but beautiful campus. Kagome mindlessly migrated to her class room, moving through the crowd with natural grace. Sometimes college reminded her of high school. The way everyone still grouped together out in the courtyards and in the library to talk about the latest trends and gossip. Something's just never changed, no matter what the atmosphere.
"Kagome!" Sango's voice rose above the dull roar of the other students. Kagome smirked looking up to spot the taller women, and waved. Making her way to her best friend, Sango pushed people out of her way, half dragging Mirkou with her. Kagome sat on one of the benches outside of the English building as they approached.
Miroku leaned forward on his knees to catch his breath. "My dear Sango, you are stronger that you look." Sango glared down at him, hands on her hips.
"Well," She growled at him while plopping down on the bench next to Kagome. "If you weren't ogling every women you set eyes on then I wouldn't have to drag you."
"But my darling Sango, you know that I only have eyes for you." He smiled sweetly as he too joined them on the bench. Sango scooted closer to Kagome to prevent a wondering hand to find her bottom. Kagome giggled as she watched to two out of the corner of her eye. Sango turned to the other girl and looked her over.
"You know what? You look like you haven't had fun in forever. How about we go out tonight? All three of us?" She asked noticing the haunted expression that has been on the smaller girls face for a while now.
"I don't know..." Kagome searched the crowd trying to avoid her best friend intent gaze. Other students laughed and joked around, talking about parties and up coming events. She shrugged. "Sure, why not? It sounds like fun." She answered turning back to the other two.
Miroku, leaning over Sango's lap, smiled. "I know that perfect place. I will pick you both up at 7?" He asked as his hand moved toward Sago's rear.
"Hentai!" The slap echoed off the walls and into the courtyard. Kagome sighed, he would never learn.

Inuyasha threw his bag down on the couch in his apartment. Dropping down next to it, he propped his feet up on the coffee table. Kikyou wasn't home yet, staying late to study, again. In his opinion she studied way to much. Always staying at school late, and always going to the library. Stretching he stood up again and walked in to the kitchen. There was nothing but soda, maybe a beer or two in the fridge, but nothing to eat. He would have to go shopping, Kikyou would never take the time to do something so normal and boring.
Grabbing a can of soda from the fridge, he popped the top, taking it back to the living room with him. As he reclaimed his seat on the sofa, his cell phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered taking a sip of the coke.
"Hey, Inu, what's going on?" Miroku's cheerful voice reached his ears from the other line.
"Nothing, just starving. There is no food in this place."
"Then I have wonderful idea, lets go out. My treat."
"I don't know, Kikyou-"
"Dude forget her for a few hours, she probably wont be home for awhile anyway."
"Your right... Sure, its better than take out."
"Great! Meet me at Club Riot around sevens, get something to eat maybe do a little dancing. It will be fun."
Yeah sort of a boy's night out... See you then." Iuyasha clicked his phone shut and threw it on the table. At least he wouldn't have to deal with Kikyou's coldness for a couple of hours, while he was out. And, maybe he could get Miroku to break their pack never to talk about Kagome, and find out how she was doing. But, so far Miroku has honored the pact they had made when he made his choice.
Kikyou, his first love, Inuyasha sighed heavily. Although his feelings for her where not as strong, his sense of duty is what kept him there. She had no one to take care of her, and Inuyasha had promised that he would always be by her side. Such a heavy vow he had made, no knowing that she would call him on after all this time.
Getting up and off the couch Inuyasha looked around his apartment. Bland, boring and impersonal. That summed up everything about his life at this point. Life had left its spark when he let Kagome run away from him. Shaking himself, he went down the hallway to his bedroom, across the hall from Kikyou's. Despite them living together, Inuyasha refused to share his bed with her. It just didn't feel right to him. But, for the last six months nothing has felt right to him. He ran a hand through his hair, now what to wear? Rummaging through his clothes he would find something.

"Kagome, you are going to turn some heads." Sango said dramatically as she circled around her friend, smiling widely.
Kagome blushed and did a little twirl like she was modeling. Her dress was black and lacy with silver buttons on the front and ties in the back. The skirt was lace and came to mid thigh, not to long and not to short. With a pair of knee high boots. Her new favorite club outfit, not that she went out much. Sango had done her make-up tastefully and simple, some eyeliner to bring out their color and her pout lips in red lipstick. Her hair curled slightly, raining down her back to her waist, like an ebony curtain.
"I've created a master piece." Sango said coming to stand next to her in the full length mirror in Kagome's large bathroom.
"And," Kagome looked Sango's reflection in the mirror, "I have created monster."
They both laughed at the sarcasm. Sango's little red cocktail dress and strapy spiked heels where a killer number with her dark hair side parted and her light make up. They both made ridiculous poses in the mirrors, till both where doubled over in laughter. As they composed themselves the buzzer rang.
"Hello?" Kagome answer trying to catch her breath.
"Your prince has arrived fair ladies." Miroku's voice called from her intercom.
"Come on up, try not to blind anyone in your shinning armor."
Kagome buzzed him up and gathered her coat and purse. Taking one more look in the mirror beside the door. Yes, tonight she would try to get back out there and to finally forget about Inuyasha. Sango put her arm around the other women.
"I tell you, your going to knock 'em dead." Sango said winking at her from the mirror.
Miroku knocked on the door and Sango opened. He smiled wide and took Sango's hand in his.
"My dear, you are more radiant then any sun." Bowing low he kissed her knuckles lightly, as his hand made it for her behind. Sango smacked his hand away and quickly went to grab her own purse and coat. Turning to look at Kagome.
"Ready to go?" She asked, keeping one eye on Miroku.
Kagome turned around and smiled. "Yeah," she pulled on her coat and stepped through her doorway. "I am ready to have some run."
