Stuck in the Middle with U

Chapter One: You Have to Start Somewhere

Well I don't know why I came her tonight…

"Come on Kouga dance with me," Sango smiled teasingly at her boyfriend and began to tug on his arm. Her hips began to sway from side to side as if that would allure him to get up. This was her second time that she had tried to urge him to get up and dance.

I mean this was a party for crying out loud. The music was thrumming through her body making her blood sing with the need for it. She wanted to dance and with her boyfriend. To have him press his body against hers and hold her tight before whispering to her how beautiful she was tonight. Was that too much to ask?

"No I don't think I'm going to," Kouga jerked his arm viciously away from Sango, frowning at her. Sango let out a sigh of disappointment before she watched him turn to Kagome. "So how are you enjoying the party Kagome?" His whole attention was trained on her as Kagome blushed slightly and gave Sango an apologizing smile.

I got the feeling that something ain't right…

She had been hearing Kouga talk so highly of this frat party for the past two weeks that he had gotten her buzzing with excitement. He was kind of surprise that she even wanted to come. I mean sure she was a sort of a tomboy especially when she was little but she was a woman first.

She had long raven black tresses curled in ringlets around her facewhile the rest was pulled up with beaded hairclips. She practically put on make up for him. She added just a touch of rouge to show her cheekbones and a dusting of magenta eye shadow with a nice brush of lip-gloss. And he barely noticed her or anyone for that matter.

'Well he noticed someone,' she amended in her head as she ignored Kagome's smile and walked across the room.

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair…

She ladled herself some punch and held it in her hands for a moment, one arm wrapped around her waist.

'Look at them snuggled up together like they were the one dating,' Sango jeered before taking a sip of her drink. 'It's not like I haven't tried to be a good girlfriend for him,' she argued with herself as she ladled herself another cupful of the punch.

'Kagome is suppose to be my best friend… Well one of them,' she thought before looking suspiciously down at her punch. She ladled herself another cup bobbing her head to the music. 'She's not suppose to be all over my man like that. She knows I like him,' she thought, her frown creasing her brow.

'Sort of anyway but that doesn't matter. What matters is he's mines and not hers,' she thought firmly.

"Hmm this punch is kind of good," she giggled and began to sway to the music again. Letting her cup sit on the table before she moved to the dance floor, which had formally been the living room.

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs…

She combed her fingers up her beaded pink and black babydoll top before running them down her golden, tan arms. Raising them to the ceiling she felt the music alive inside her.

'I am sexy… I am beautiful,' she thought to herself and her frown smoothed out into a small smile. She let her beaded hairclips go and her curly black tresses tumbled down her back. Combing her fingers through them she sigh at the touch of fingers on her scalp.

'Any man would be stupid not to want me,' she thought again as she shook her hair out. She felt someone place his hands on her hips and she moved against him grinding her hips into him. 'Kouga you know you want me,' she thought as her eyes slid slowly open and she saw her boyfriend looking at her.

'Good all eyes on me,' she thought as she wrapped her arms around the stranger's neck and tilted her head back to see the stranger behind her.

"M… Miroku," she gasped and quickly pulled away.

Clowns to the left of me…

He tugged her back and wrapped his arms around his waist. "Sango you didn't mind dancing with me when you thought I was a stranger. So what is so new now," he smiled slyly and ran his fingers across the fabric of her toned tummy. "Besides I'm your best friend."

His hand began to run down her side and she growled warningly before she felt someone tug him away from her.

Jokers to the right, here I am…

"Hey Miroku if she's your best friend then why are you groping her," Inuyasha rolled his eyes before grabbing Sango's hand and pulling her close to him.

"Wh… what? Not you too Inuyasha," Sango frowned up at him but stopped when his lips brushed against her ear making her blush slightly.

"Your jealous of Kagome aren't you? That's why you didn't know you were dancing with Miroku. You wanted to make that damn wolf jealous huh?" She could tell he was smiling triumphantly at the fact and that he had been drinking.

"Maybe," she said reluctantly pulling her head back to look at him with troubled brown eyes.

"Then let's give him something to be jealous about," Inuyasha grinned impishly and Sango felt her heart plummeting to her black high-heeled ankle strapped sandals.

Stuck in the middle with you…

"Follow my lead," Inuyasha said calmly and led her to the coffee table before picking her up by her waist and setting her on top of it.

"Inuyasha," Sango scowled flickering her eyes nervously to Kouga whose cobalt eyes were trained suspiciously on her.

"You want him to notice you right?" Inuyasha consoled.

"Yeah… but Inuyasha come on," Sango tried to plead with him.

"It's not like we are asking you to strip," Miroku said but smiled lecherously. "Not unless you want to."

Inuyasha quickly grabbed Sango around her middle to stop her from launching herself at Miroku.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you…

"Cool it you two. Just start dancing Sango, close your eyes if you have to and we'll bring someone else to dance with you," Inuyasha let her go before looking around for a suitable dance partner. "Hey what about Yura?"

"Hell no I'm not dancing with that slut," Sango hissed lowly at them, both her eyes narrowing. She had been doing perfectly fine without them. "Hey why are you at this party anyway. You weren't invited."

"Crashed in," Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't anything special. But before Inuyasha could suggest another dancer for her Miroku climbed on the table and grabbed Sango by the hips.

And I'm wondering what it is I should do…

"Your so tense loosen up babe," Miroku began to move her hips from side to side. "I know you were feeling the rhythm before so feel it again."

Sango's hands balled into fists but she knew Kouga was watching them… actually glaring. She could sense the tension in the air and instead of following her first instinct of going over to him and laying his fears to rest she wrapped her arms around Miroku's neck.

Leaning close she whispered softly in his ear, 'Touch me in the wrong way Houshi-sama and I'll break every last finger.'

She felt Miroku stiffened and she laughed turning her head to the side to see the storm cloud that was Kouga's face.

It's so hard to keep this smile from my face…

She couldn't deny that dancing with Miroku was interesting… sensual. But he knew his limits if he wanted his fingers to be intact. He made sure to compliment her on her outfit and told her how lovely she looked.

Placing her chin against his shoulder as they danced to a slow song she sighed happily. "Thank—"

"I can't take it anymore," Miroku growled and threw Sango over his shoulder before jumping down the table.

"Where are you taking me Houshi-sama," yelped Sango in surprise as she thumped her hand against his back.

"Slip and slide in the hallway and I've been dying to see you wet," Miroku laughed eagerly and sped out the door. "Maybe they'll have a wet t-shirt contest later."

"I wish you'd try it so I can beat the shit out of you," she smiled dangerously at him.

Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place…

As soon as Miroku set her down on her feet she began to run. "In your dreams Houshi-sama!" she laughed and danced around someone that wasrunning fast down the hallway before sliding down the slip and slide.

"Come on Sango just this once for me the guy who played doctor with you when we were six," Miroku quickly chased her and wrapped his arms around her waist as soon as she was about to fall from the soapy ground and her sandals.

She kicked off her expensive sandals in distaste as she wiggled out of his arms. She shot down the stairs and into the laundry room where she knew they were having a foam party. Loosing herself in the mass of foam she hoped to loose Houshi-sama as well but she could hear him calling for her eagerly.

Her curls and clothes were plastering themselves against herself but she could care less by now as she laughed ducking from Miroku's arms again.

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right…

Foam spilling out the door, covering the floor she was having a hard time discovering which was foam and which was people since everything seem to bobbing and moving while coveredin the soapy mess. She resigned herself to settle on the dryer comforted by the fact that she had pushed Miroku in a heap of foam a few minutes ago and hadn't heard from him since.

Then all of a sudden something grabbed her and dragged her ass off the dryer growling ferociously.

"Oh my kami you looked so funny Miroku," Sango laughed at the foamed covered Miroku who looked like a fluffy marshmallow then any thing elseShe smiled in satisfaction when he frowned.

"Gahh let me go Miroku!" Sango couldn't help but laugh as he began to tickle her down to the ground. "Not fair, not fair you know I'm ticklish," Sango slumped to the ground a mass of giggles as Miroku straddled her.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you…

Miroku looked down at her a minute later, a victorious smile on his face before leaning in closer to her. He brushed a wet curl from Sango's cheek before tucking it behind her ear. "I've finally gotten you all wet."

Sango would have pushed Miroku away except she felt herself having trouble breathing. Miroku leaned even closer to her, his lips barely an inch away from hers. So close that their warm breath mingled together.

"Kami Sango your so beautiful," he breathed before closing the distance to her lips but Sango had pushed him back when she heard someone call her name.

"Sango we're leaving!" Kouga yelled from the door unable to find his girlfriend in the foam.

Sango looked guiltily at Miroku licking suddenly dry lips before standing up. "I'm s… I gotta go," Sango quickly said before rushing towards the door to meet Kouga.

"We're leaving," Kouga grabbed Sango's hand and handed her shoes to her with the other.

"Sango…" Miroku let out a sigh as he sat there combing a small mound of foam out of his hair.

'Well your started out with nothing,

And your're proud that you're a self made man,

And your friends, they all come crawlin,

Slap you on the back say,

Please…. Please….'

Sango dragged her eyes slowly open groggily wondering how she was dreaming to a Stealers Wheel song.She let out a little groan as she smacked her hand against the snooze button realizing what had happened. She then burrowed herself inside the covers and grumbled something about more sleep.

Then all of a sudden her blanket was whipped away from her and she stood there blinking sleepily as someone threw back her curtains. "Good morning Sunshine," Miroku said brightly and kissed her cheek ignoring her bewildered look.

"What the fuck…" Sango trailed off and wrenched her covers back onto her bed before burying her head under a pillow.

"Oh no you don't!" Miroku wrenched them away again only to hear Sango growl and grab the other side of them.

"Give them. I paid for them with my own damn money!" she hissed and with a hard tug he and the covers fell towards her. "Why are you here anyway? I never gave you a key," Sango looked at him suspiciously.

"Yeah I was wondering about that. To think I had to get the landlady to make me a key when you made sure to give one to Kagome and Kouga. And another thing I'm highly disappointed your not naked," Miroku frowned at her in disapproval.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!" growled Sango and slapped away the hand that was trying to travel up her flannel pajamas.

"Well I was expecting you to… you know sleep in the nude. Well that's what I always imagined you'd do but here you are looking conservative as usual," he groaned before trying to unbutton her shirt.

"You need to loosen up, loose a few of these buttons," Miroku climbed on top of her and began to unbutton her top.

"I swear Miroku if you go any further I'm going to castrate your ass," Sango glared at him warningly.

"Your so harsh Sango. I can see clearly you're not a morning person. Maybe I can lighten your mood," Miroku smiled slyly.

"You can lighten up her mood by getting the fuck away from my girlfriend," growled Kouga warningly as he walked into her apartment with two grocery bags in his hands.

"Uh oh," Miroku eyes widen in surprise and quickly rolled off of Sango.

'If You Want to Hit Rock Bottom,' is the next chapter if you review. Sango is lovingly, kind, caring. But what with her parents death she is forced to raise her little brother Kohaku all by herself. I mean she doesn't do anything bad to anyone unless they truly deserved it like when Miroku gropes her. So why is kami trying to punish her? I do hope you enjoy and look forward to your reviews.
