Learning to Let Go
Truth or Dare… Pick One Already!
"Aurgh! Why can't our school ever serve anything edible?" Sango complained as she sat down for lunch, across from Kagome. It was Tuesday and the girls had choir at 12:15 leaving then with 15 minutes to eat.
Sango and Kagome sat eating their sandwiches, not talking.
"Wanna skip choir today?" Kagome finally asked. Sango looked up.
"Are you serious?" Kagome nodded.
"Well…"
"Oh please Sango! Come on, we've been going for 5 weeks straight, we deserve a break," Kagome pleaded.
"Kay, fine," Sango sighed. "But we better not get into habits of this."
Kagome pumped her fists into the air. "Thanks so much, Sango! You're the best!"
The two teenage girls walked around the school on the inside and on the outside. All of a sudden, Sango noticed Inuyasha walking with Kikyo, and she developed an evil idea.
"Kagome…" Sango started, with evilness evident in her voice. "Wanna play truth or dare?"
"Yah, sure, but no extreme things like—"
"Great! Truth or dare?" Sango asked, cutting Kagome off.
"Um… dare, I guess."
Sango's evil grin had returned to her face. "I dare you to…" She looked Kagome straight in the eye. "To kiss Inuyasha." Kagome practically fainted.
"You can't be serious! Anyone but Inuyasha!! Please Sango!"
"Nope, sorry. Besides, what happened to the Kagome who goes to archery as the TARGET?"
"She's out to lunch, so looks like you're stuck with wimpy Kagome."
"Tsh." Sango breathed and turned her nose up. A few seconds passed. Sango looked at Kagome. "Do it after school then."
"But—" Kagome sighed. Once Sango had made up her mind, there was no changing it. "Fine, after school." Kagome agreed with little enthusiasm.
"Yes!" Sango pumped her fist in the air. "Okay Kagome, it's your turn."
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
Sango picking dare came as no surprise to Kagome. Her best friend was quite the daredevil. "Um…"
"Hurry up! The bell's gonna ring in five." Sango urged her flustered friend.
Kagome looked around, her eyes darting along the halls; soon she spotted Kouga walking with some of his buddies.
"Kag—Hurry!"
"Got it! Blow a kiss to Kouga!"
Sango looked at her friend, then at Kouga. "You got it!"
Kouga's group approached the two girls.
"Hey you!" Kouga looked at Sango. "Do you know her?" Kouga reluctantly nodded. Sango smiled. Her hand went to her mouth and came back down as she blew one of her rare blow kisses to Kouga. She started walking away.
"Holy shit!" Kagome said as the poor wolf started to go red. She turned to follow her friend. "Sorry Kouga!" she called. "It was a dare!"
Sango and Kagome turned a corner.
"Truth or dare, Kag?"
"Um… Truth."
"Kay." Sango put her hand under her chin thoughtfully. "Hmmm." Kagome stopped to get a drink from the water fountain.
"Have you ever considered asking Inuyasha out?" Sango finally said after much deliberation.
Ever so slowly, Kagome started to turn bright red. "Only every day, but unfortunately, if you haven't noticed, he has a girlfriend."
"Well, well, well. And what has stopped the 'moving target' Kagome?"
Kagome sighed. "Me. I'm too damn shy!"
RING!
"Oh, seems like this round of truth or dare is over!" Kagome said quickly. Sango shook her head as she watched Kagome dash up to her locker on the third floor.
"See ya after school Sango!" Kagome called before she was lost in the crowd of humans and demons and hanyous.
Sango let a sigh escape her throat. She shifted her backpack to her left shoulder.
"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome." She started walking to her art class. She was soon joined by Rin.
"Ditchers. Where'd you two slip off to?" Sango smiled at her friend.
"Around." Rin rolled her eyes and entered the classroom.
"You better do something about you little problem, Kag," Sango said quietly to no one in particular. "Or else I will." The teenaged girl went into her class room and sat down next to Rin just as the second bell rang.
This is so far really boring, no? But whatever... Kirstyn, if you're reading this, it's all true... um... Read and review, if you please... xox
