M-Chan: for a heads up to all of you, there's a little bashing in this chapter, literally. I have nothing agents the character. Oh, yeah, I need to apologize this chapter was a lot shorter than I thought it would be.
Astro: hell yeah
M-Chan: I hope the next chapter is better.
Yet Another Cinderella Tale...Sort Of
Chapter 4- Watching Things
- INUYASHA'S P.O.V.
Girl talk. Something I had never experienced until today. I have never had to experience it until today. And until today I was Sango's only best friend. Strange how Kami can turn on you so fast. Currently I am sitting in a booth at a pizza shop, with two giggly girls. And some how me rolling my eyes has become a habit in the last twenty- four hours.
"So, did you ask him yet?" I heard Sango asked.
"No..." Kagome trailed off, glancing up.
"Ask who what?" I asked rudely. Sango gave me an elbow in the ribs. Kagome noticed. And yet again giggled.
"She just wants to go out with someone, and I have the fortunate of setting her up" she replied not even looking at me.
"So I'm off the hook?" I asked Sango.
"Inuyasha, you we're never on the hook. You placed your self there thinking you had to help when I didn't. Kagome, on the other hand, knows who I want to go out with." She replied. Wait, she knows who Sango likes? I don't even know whom Sango likes. Well, I guess that's what she meant, I think.
"Inuyasha, are you really going to stay here and listen to us chatter on about nothing?" Kagome asked. I cocked my head in her direction.
"I planned on it," I said, honestly how bad could there 'girl talk' be?
I hate girl talk. It is the sickest thing every imaginable. You want to know what they talk about? Guys, well at least when I was there. I don't mind talking about people, but they were talking about guys they liked. It was so wrong.
"Inuyasha, who was that girl you were with?" Shippo asked as he attempted to annoy me.
"Who, Sango?"
"The other girl, the pretty one"
"What pretty one? There was Kagome but she isn't pretty."
"Sure, and I'm not adopted" he said sarcastically. I glared at the young fox as he walked away. "Oh, yeah Kana and her parents are coming over later." Fantastic. The great Myoga invited them over again. Sometimes I wonder why my parents left me with him.
"Why?" I asked after realizing that it was no special date.
"How should I know?" suddenly he got an evil grin on his face "Who the hell is PurifyingMiko'"
"You've been reading my mail!" I stood up and chased him over the house as he (I assumed) quoted lines from the mail. When I got bored I went to my computer and read my, what it said to be old, mail.
Hey,
Yeah uh, sorry I couldn't make it. I got side tracked...a lot. Anyway I found out a day or so ago that one of my friends has a crush on my stepbrother. If that's not wrong I don't know what is. What's even worse is that she wants me to set 'em up. Great right? Are you going to prom? Well, I know you are but whom with? Although if you tell me whom you're going with I can find out whom you are and then this project would be pointless. So,... who ya going with?
-P.M. (PurifyingMiko)
P.S.- to the subject you might have noticed that I've been avoiding, you falling for me. That came as a surprise. And I can't help think I'm falling for you.
And she still doesn't want to meet me. Wow. Now if I could only find out whom she was.
"And that is why we are all here" on of my teachers said. There were a lot of students in the room. Some like Kouga and I, were here by force. Others like Kagome and Sango actually chose to be here. If you're wondering what 'here' is, I'll be glad to tell you. Here is an after school meeting for the next play. When I say Kouga and I were forced, I mean that, we needed a reason to get out of detention, let's just leave it at that.
"So what play are we doing?" I asked
"A very complex play dealing with love and the pain of losing someone you love"
"Great," Kouga said sarcastically "A sappy love story"
"A well known story" the teacher said. The teacher who, by the way, is an English teacher, loves leading us on. "Ms. Kagome did a wonderful report on it last semester" She said glancing at Kagome. Kagome grinned
"I'll look to like, if looking liking move; but no more deep will I endart mine eye, than your consent gives strength to make it fly" Kagome said.
"Act one, scene three, have another?" the teacher asked
"My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known to late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy" What the hell is she talking about?
"Scene five very nice"
"Would you like one that would give them a hint?" Kagome said grinning.
"Of course" the teacher sat down and sighed.
"Yea, noise? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die!" There was a series of 'oh' s from most of the girls. I was still lost, and by the looks of it I wasn't the only one. "By gods people it's Romeo and Juliet. Don't you read?" said Kagome rolling her eyes.
"And for parts, one scrap paper write the part you want. I will call you for personal auditions." With that we all left.
"You got the part! That is like sooooooooo cool!" Sango yelled. I felt my ears narrow under my hat as she continued to yell. We were sitting in Kagome's living room. Ii was forced I swear. "Do you know who's playing Romeo yet?" Kagome shook her head. "I gotta ask, who well do you know the play?"
"Enough to change and quote lines"
"Like what?"
"Oreo, Oreo, wherefore art thou Oreo? Deny thy diet and refuse thy carbs" I didn't think it was funny but Sango started must have thought it was 'cause she laughed hard. She glanced at me. She gave me a wary look and turned away. She glanced at her watch and her eyes widened. She stood up fast. "You guys have to go NOW!"
"What are you-?" Sango started as she got up.
"I'm not supposed to have friends over, and my step mom and her boyfriend are going to be home any minute." Without warning Sango and I found ourselves outside. She glanced at me and shrugged.
"Something's going on" I said
"How would you-."
"Her scent changed. She wasn't scared she was terrified" I pulled her to the side of the house just before a car pulled in.
"Inuyasha, what if something is wrong. Could you? I mean could you go look?" She asked motioning to a balcony right above us. I sighed and jumped up. I made sure I wasn't seen. I saw an older man and women walking in. Kagome tensed up.
"Shouldn't you be at work?" the women asked harshly.
"No I work tomorrow" Kagome replied looking down. The man was drunk; I could smell the alcohol through the window.
"Is dinner done?" the man asked.
"I was just about to-." She started. The man's fist came in line with her arm. She flew a few inches and landed hard on the ground. She got a look of anger on her face as she grabbed her arm. She shook a little and never made a sound. The man came closer and kicked her straight in her stomach. Her eyes widened in pain. Thats the one thing that amazed me, she never made a sound.
"Inuyasha, get yo ass down here" Sango hissed. I jumped down. "So did you see anything?"
"No" I lied "Nothing out of the ordinary"
"Hey guys!" Kagome chirped as she came up to Sango and I. I hadn't told anyone of what I saw, not yet.
"Kag...." Sango started.
"I'll ask him tonight damn it" Kagome said.
"Okay, I'll be right back, got use the bath room" Sango said entering the near by room.
"Hey, you I gotta tell you something" I said to Kagome.
"I have a name"
"I saw what happened last night. What that man did to you." I saw her eyes get narrow, and the same look of anger on her face.
"You tell anyone, I'll kill you" she turned to walk away. I grabbed her wrist and stop her.
"That guy needs help, you need to tell someone."
"Who cares?"
"Sango cares"
"She doesn't know though does she?"
"No but that's not the point"
"Then what is? I have one best friend besides her and he already knows. And besides," she said with a smirk "It's not like you care" with that she trotted off into the jam-packed hallway. The strange thing was, I think I did care.
M-Chan: told you guys it was short. I hope you liked it anyway.
Astro: it sucked!
M-Chan: than I won't write anymore-
Astro: NNOOO!!!!
M-Chan: just kidding
Astro: tries to strangle M-Chan die you evil spawn.
M-Chan: but, I'm not your school. [sry, inside joke]
Preview: The play is off, and the dance is coming. Sango seems t be out of the loop for a lot of things. She see's Kagome and Miroku together i mean like close together.( Nothing happenes people! but, remember she doesn't know that they are related) She gets ticked, therefore getting Inuyasha ticked, and suprisingly he gets on Miroku's case instead of Kagomes'.
