Single Candle Lit

: Chapter 16

"What are we doing here again?" Sango asked Rin as the two walked to the escalator. Rin shrugged, "Kouga and Miroku insisted. You know how many calls I got from them annoying me to go. Hell they even personally asked my parents." Sango sighed, it had been the same for her except it was Inuyasha, "I'm guessing Naraku and Sesshoumaru annoyed Kagome."

The two walked onto of the escalator and rode it down. They were with the boys a while ago but had gotten separated. Miroku, Inuyasha, and the two of them had ridden in Kouga's Sonora gold pearl Toyota Highlander. He had used it since he'd be picking up four people, when he thought it'd be seven.

Rin had gone over to Sango's house to save Kouga some time. And was oddly shocked to find out that out of Kouga's twenty-eight cars he still had to take one of his mom's since he didn't have an SUV that matched his cheerful mood. And since it wasn't used until today it was his. And after that Sango and Rin ended up calling him a spoiled rich kid who pay's girls to fuck him. And that obviously didn't make him happy.

"So did you talk to Naraku yet?"

"No."

"Are you worried?"

"No."

Sango didn't want to take the conversation any further. She knew Rin could take care of herself.

As soon as they got to the lower floor Kouga appeared from behind, "Where the hell were you guys at? You know we've been looking for seven minutes already." The two didn't answer and followed Kouga to a near by bench where Miroku and Inuyasha were sitting at. The two girls joined the boys and all five of them went walking.

They walked in one of the mall's many clothing stores. But since it was for men, Sango and Rin sat down on the chairs near the fitting rooms.

"You'd think they'd have enough clothes- but no… They just have to buy more. That's suppose to be what we do- not them." Sango stated sarcastically. "Umm Sango, I don't think they're here to buy clothes." Rin said pointing to Inuyasha who was leaning on the cahier's table, flirting with the young girl standing behind it.

Sango groaned, "I don't believe this! They drag us here just to watch them flirt? I'm calling Sesshoumaru." She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Sesshoumaru's number as Rin laughed at Kouga and Miroku whom were busy playing hide and seek in the store like a couple of five-year olds.

The phone rang three times before a familiar voice answered, "Yes?"

"Okay I want an explanation. Did you guys bring us here to watch you people goof around? And where are you guys?"

"Well we're always goofing around. And we're almost there- more like we're already here, where can we find you at?"

"Oh, what entrance are you guys taking? I want out of this place."

…

"Why didn't you just make them come to us?" Inuyasha whined since he didn't even get the girl's phone number from the store. "Shut up, we're almost there. Look you can see them."

"Oh look Kouga, Haruka's there." Rin taunted. "She dyed her hair again?" Sango asked. "I guess…"

They walked to the four people standing by the entrance. "Hi everybody!" Kagome greeted followed by Haruka whom said the same.

Kouga stared at the now red-haired girl. She wore a pink tee shirt with silver letterings that read "Look Away", black Capri's, and pink high heels. He made his way past Sango and Rin and introduced himself, "Hey, I'm Kouga." He flashed his signature smile.

"Haruka." She said remembering what Kagome said about him being a big flirt; she looked at the other two that she didn't recognize, She stuck out her hand to Miroku first since he was closer to her, "I'm Haruka." Kouga watched as he was just ignored and Miroku took her hand, "Yeah, I'm Miroku." The shook hands and she moved her hand to Inuyasha who looked at her like her remembered her, "Inuyasha."

"Okay, okay, that's enough." Kouga said moving in between the two, "So Haruka… You single?"

"Yeah-"

"Good."

"But not for you."

He frowned, and knew immediately that someone had told her to avoid him. But he smirked, "You'll change your mind later. After all you've got to give me points on looks first. I know you can't resist m-" Inuyasha pushed Kouga aside, "Fuck you Kouga, I called first shots." Inuyasha had finally remembered where he had seen her before.

"It's not my fault you forgot dumb ass!"

"Well I fucking remember now don't I?"

"Umm Kouga, Inuyasha's right, but Inuyasha, Kouga's right too." Miroku said remembering that night, Inuyasha said that he'd be first and Kouga second.

"I know I definitely get a say in this, I'm not a thing that's going to be passed around okay? Why don't the two of you check each other out?" The redhead scoffed.

Inuyasha grabbed Kouga's hand into his, placing his fingers between his, "Well actually, we've been going out." Kouga inched closer, "He's right."

She couldn't help but let out a small laugh, "Whatever."

…

Kagome looked around, the movie they were watching was really boring. And she knew that Miroku bought the tickets on purpose so that the girls could get bored and the guys could flirt with them. The theater was practically empty, it was just them and a few other people who also gave no interest to the movie.

She looked to her right and saw Naraku and Rin at the corner just talking to each other. She looked at the seats in front of them, for some reason Sango agreed to sit with Miroku seven rows down. And here she was; with Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Haruka, and Inuyasha.

Inuyasha and Kagome have ignored each other the whole time while all five of them talk to each other. She was the only one eating the popcorn since she barely spoke in the conversation.

"Come on, it's just one kiss." Kouga nagged endlessly. "Can you shut up?" Kagome asked getting irritated.

"Don't be so mean Kagome, shit I just want one kiss."

Haruku continued to ignore him, and Kouga's nagging was starting to get on the other's nerves. "Can you just kiss him?" Sesshoumaru said unwillingly taking Kouga's side, but he was getting too annoyed.

"No."

Kouga opened his mouth to beg again but Sesshoumaru interrupted not wanting to hear Kouga's voice again, "It's not like it's going to mean anything. Just give him an empty kiss; you know the same kind of kiss you give when you're dared or when you're drunk or something. It won't hurt."

All three of them looked at her pleadingly, while Kouga smiled.

"Fine! We'll make it an official dare! Haruka, I dare you to kiss Kouga, and Kouga I dare you to kiss Haruka!" Kagome said getting a handful of popcorn and throwing it to Kouga.

"Yeah, if we know Kouga, he won't back own from a dare."

Haruka growled giving up, she leaned in to Kouga and quickly pecked him on the lips before pulling away and pretending like nothing happened. "What? That was it? What the hell was that?" Kouga asked obviously not satisfied.

"Hey you got your kiss now shut up!" Sesshoumaru snapped. "Okay fine, whatever. I'll get a hot one later just wait."

Haruka choked, "Bull shit." Kouga looked at her, "I wasn't talking about you," he paused and smirked, "but if you want to think that way, you'll find sooner or later that I'm irresistible." She rolled her eyes not saying anything.

Kagome decided to change the subject when she saw two familiar bodies leaning against each other, "Aww, isn't that cute?" She pointed. Haruka smiled, "Yeah, when was the last time Sango had a boyfriend?" Kagome thought back, "I think around two years ago-"

"What?! Two years?! I won't be able to take that! I'd practically do anything just to go out with someone!" Kouga said in shock. Inuyasha nodded, "Hell yeah! Two years with no sex?" He shook his head trying not to imagine how life would be like for him. "You guys are right but what I don't get is why Sango let herself go for that long, I mean after all she does have a gym with all those guys that can check her out at anytime-"

"Sesshoumaru, you should know that Kohaku is also there, and her doesn't just let anyone go out with his younger sister if he doesn't know them. And two Sango doesn't really let guys check her out to start with, she scares them." Kagome stated. "Yeah! I remember one time that Miroku told me that he was suppose to ask Sango to dinner but he saw her beating up a punching bag and he didn't know what she might do to him so he just changed his mind."

Inuyasha shook his head, "Still… Two years without sex. I'd cry."

"Me too…" Sesshoumaru and Kouga said together agreeing with Inuyasha.

"That's not the point, the point is that Sango le-" Kagome stopped as she heard a ring come from her purse, she pulled out a dark purple cell phone and handed it to Haruka, who took it and read the message quickly before replying and handing it back to Kagome. She didn't have any pockets so she had to ask Kagome to hold her phone. "Expecting a reply back?" Kagome asked as Haruka stood up, "Nah, it's just Mae, I'll be back."

Inuyasha looked at Kouga who just shook his head. "Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked; Kouga shrugged, "I doubt it though."

"Want me to ask?

"No."

…

"What if I said I like Miroku, what should I do?" Sango asked. Her and Haruka were sitting on seats that were in the women's fitting room as they waited for Kagome and Rin to finish.

"Then go out with him, he's really nice." Rin called out.

"Rin's right, you and him have been flirting even since we arrived. But do you want to go out with him?"

"I don't know."

Kagome exited wearing an orange tee shirt, "But do you want to go out with him? How about this?"

"I don't know, and yeah that's fine." Sango said.

"Whatever, I think you do want to go out with him and I think he likes you." Harku said getting up along with Sango as Kagome and Rin finished. They made their way to the exit when Miroku was shoved to Sango.

His hands covered his face, "My eyes are closed honestly!"

"Who cares? There's no part on a woman's body that you haven't seen yet Miroku." Rin stated.

"Ask her out already!" Inuyasha called out from behind Miroku as the rest of the guys ushered him on. "Yeah!" The girls agreed from behind Sango.

"Fucking crap Miroku! If you're not going to ask her out then I will!" Inuyasha said shoving Miroku out of the way. Inuyasha took Sango's hands, "Sango will you go out with-" Miroku shoved him away before he could finish. "Fuck you Inuyasha, my girl not yours!" Miroku yelled at his friend not noticing Sesshoumaru cup her face.

"Fuck! Fine I'll ask! God, you fucking people are so pushy!"

The two brothers chuckled as they backed away for Miroku, they knew that he'd keep stalling again so they had decided the only way for him to finally ask was to make him mad by them asking her out. Miroku put both hands onto of his head and sighed, "Sango? Will you go out with me?"

She looked at him thinking it was just a joke. "Umm-"

"She says yes!" Kagome called out. "Yep that's true, she kept talking about him in the fitting rooms." Haruka stated. "Uh-hm, she told us on how Inuyasha said that he was suppose to ask her out before but he was shy. And that he told her to think of all his good points so that she can like him, and she did." Rin added, "And Sango if you heard correctly, Miroku called you his."

Sango looked like she was a criminal who just got caught, "Whatever, not even!" She didn't know why exactly her friends were telling the guys what she was talking about.

"Okay so it's official! They're going out!" Naraku said.

"Hey shut up, I need to hear it from her." Miroku stated not taking his eyes off Sango. She didn't say anything making Inuyasha whine, "Hurry up! A yes takes only a second to say, what's taking you so long?" Haruka added, "He's right, Sango you've got one minute to make up your mind and if you don't then we'll all ditch you to be alone with Miroku. So hurry up."

"Don't leave me."

"Clock's ticking…"

She looked back to Miroku, "What they said." She smiled uneasily. "I need to hear it." he chuckled. "You already heard it from them." Miroku shook his head, "I asked you, not them, so I want to hear-"

"Thirty seconds…"

"Hey, I don't mind spending an afternoon with you Sango."

"I do!"

"Then let me hear it."

"Twenty seconds."

Sango sighed, "Fine, okay, I'll say it, yes, there are you happy?" She mumbled. He walked closer to her wrapping his arms around her waist, allowing him to get her face to face, "I only heard "you happy?" and I say no, I couldn't hear what you said. Now I can hear you even if you mumble again. Now, can you repeat what you said?" He asked brushing his lips on hers making her want to back away but held her hard enough so she couldn't. The other girls grinned madly while the guys just watched- they were after all very used to this.

"Five seconds."

She pushed Miroku off her, "Okay fine! Yes! There done!" Miroku frowned, "I think I pissed her off." He said to Kouga who just scoffed, "Better you than me." Miroku walked up to Sango, "You mad?" She didn't answer making him wrap his arms around her to keep her from moving. "Just a couple of minutes ago you got mad at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru for being pushy, now let me ask you a question- who's pushy now?" She jerked her hands arms to the side taking Miroku's arms off her, "And don't forget, even if we're going out or not, I can still kick your ass."

Miroku sighed and followed the girls to the cashier, "I'm sorry, and I know you can hurt me- a lot, that's also a reason why I have to hold you like that, so you won't slap me or punch me or shit. I just want to know if I made you mad and if I did I'm sorry."

"I guess I'm a little mad, you didn't have to be so embarrassing…"

"I wasn't embarrassing you. If I wanted to do that I would've yelled or carried you and forced you to lay down on the cashier's counter, and you know I wouldn't do that to you." Sango smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, "Okay. I'm not mad anymore."

They reached the cashier and Kagome was the first one to place her items on the counter. Miroku looked at the cashier, "Put it all together." The girls looked at him confused, "What are you talking about?" Miroku took all the clothes from the girls and dumped it on the counter. "I'll take care if it."

"Why?"

He shrugged, "I don't know… I just can't stand here and watch you guys pay for your things. I have to be a gentleman you know, besides I want Sango to coo onto me more."

"Hey! If you can't watch us buy our own things, what makes you think we can?"

"My brain makes me think." He nodded for the cashier to start and looked at the pile. He stuck his hand in and pulled out a jeweled t-back black v-string, "Who owns this?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "Sango." Rin answered his question dryly, "She got the last one…" Miroku turned his gaze to his girlfriend and spun the lingerie around his finger, "This for me?" Sango smiled and shook her head, "Oh no it's for another guy."

Miroku's face expression changed, "What the fuck do you mean another guy??!" He looked around, "Who is he?"

The girls laughed, "I'm just messing around Miroku." She smiled, "But that's for me not you- unless you want to wear it…" He sighed, "Whatever." He mumbled.

He stuck his hand in again and pulled out three other pieces of underwear. A blue fishnet thong, a white flower patterned lace double strap v-string, and a red low-rise lace boy short. He looked at the items, "These are all bad, but I like this one the most," he pointed to the boy short, "this is hot… Who owns this?"

"Rin." Sango replied, "But don't guys like things that show a lot of skin?"

"Guys that don't see skin as much as us. For us, when a girl is hiding they're teasing and that makes the sex even better."

"Well that's something we don't need to know." Haruka stated, "Something that guys should keep to themselves." Kagome added. "Besides we wear things to make us feel good not the other way around."

"I was just saying… I didn't mean for you guys to get so offended…" He said sarcastically.

…

"Oh shit!" Kouga exclaimed as the five of them walked to the car, "I forgot why I came here!" But then changed his mind, "Oh well, I'll do it later."

"Wasn't it to check out Haruka?"

"Yeah but there was something else."

"Then what was it?" Inuyasha asked.

"I was suppose to find her a boyfriend."

Inuyasha scoffed, "She asked you to?"

"No I wanted to."

"Like anybody would go out with her."

Kouga started the engine, "I'd go out with her."

"Yeah just to piss me off."

"Whatever."

"It's not my fault that she's a-" Sango interrupted, "Inuyasha you said you would stop already." Rin added, "how would you like it if you woke up one morning and went to pee to find out that you aren't a man anymore?"

"That's messed up."

"Yeah and so are you. Why do you hate her so much anyways?"

"Because that's how it's been since," he paused, "since ever since."

"But what happened?"

"Don't ask! I'm not the only one that shouldn't bring up the subject. So stop it."

…

The doorbell rang and Rin went to answer, thinking about how fun the afternoon was. She opened the door to see Naraku, "We need to talk."

"Sure, want to come in?"

"Nah I'm fine outside."

"Okay…"

Err! For some dumb reason the site won't let me put up my normal dividers, now I have to get use to these new ones... Crap...

Anyways to to the reviews... Oh and if you guys guessed the last two people: Naraku and Sesshoumaru then you're correct! : )

HanyouGurl004: Thanks for being a faithful reviewer, I don't get much reviews so thanks! Now to your questions... This fic will be exactly "I don't know" chapters. Sorry but this is a long story that's all I can say, well I think it's going to be long. Inuyasha and Kagome's differences... Inuyasha's an ass so he has to forget first, but I wouldn't be writing this fic if they weren't. Yes, I backed it up, and I've heard about the dleted fics, I swear the site just keeps getting more strict! : (

MintlovesSR: You too Mint! Thanks for being a faithful reveiwer! Sadness for Rin... She will be crushed... But that's only around half of "the two mean guys"'s plan. Punishment? You'll see...

RandomInsanePaperPrincess: Plus you! Thank you for being a faithful reviewer! Don't loose hope! Here's my update! Yeah you were correct about the Naraku part, and the other one is Sesshoumaru. LoL, Inu/Kag will be "I think" the last couple because Inuyasha is an ass in this fic. Hehe, yeah this chapter Miroku got over his shyness, I mean he does ask her out! Again? Doesn't it hurt your eyes? Really this isn't a kind of fic that's worth reading over. Hehe : ) But hopefully my fic's funny...

Thank you guys! Really!

I'm guessing you guys can guess what's going to happen with Naraku and Rin right? Well yeah I was too lazy to type it out so just wait for it in the next chapter kays?

And yeah, since something happy happened in this chapter, Miroku/Sango, then there has to be something sad, but since I'm lazy… I'll put the sad part in the next chapter!

Oh and before I forget, can someone tell me what "Haitus" means? Sorry, but I really don't know! LoL.

Okay! That's the end One-Year Anniversary chapter! Be nice people! Review!
