Chapter 20: Poor Sango...Maybe
Sango sighed and sat back in their booth. Smooth move dumb ass! Sango yelled at herself. But as she sat there, the waitress walked up to her and smiled to her. "I'm sorry your date didn't work out sweetie." She tried to comfort. "It wasn't a date. He just wanted me to cover for him if we got caught spying on his secret crush." Sango explained with a sigh. "Well, I'm sure you'll find someone. For all you know, they could be right under your nose." She told her, setting something on the table. Wondering what the waitress meant, Sango picked up what she had left to see what it was. "INUYASHA, YOU ASSHOLE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LEFT ME WITH THE DAMN BILL!"
Inuyasha's ears twitched. "Did you hear something?" he asked Kagome, looking around. "No." she said, looking around with him. "I'm sorry if I ruined your date." Inuyasha apologized, kicking a rock on the ground. "No your not." Kagome told him. Inuyasha blushed and focused on the interesting dirt on the ground. "But thanks." Kagome said with a smile. Inuyasha looked up and her, not sure what to say. "Um...need a ride home? you know...since Kouga is still inside and everything." Inuyasha offered, blushing again. "On the Harley?" Kagome asked excitedly. "Yeah..." Inuyasha answered, unsure. "Great!" Kagome shrieked. Inuyasha stared at her in shock. Since when does Kagome like riding the Harley? Inuyasha thought with confusion.
Sango stormed out of the restaurant, ready to tear off a certain Hanyou's head. But as she walked out, she saw Inuyasha and Kagome speed off on the Harley. Inuyasha! God Damn it! Sango cussed in her head. With a sigh of aggravation, Sango started to walk towards Ayame's apartment. As she stood at an intersection, she felt the wind blow through her dress. Stupid Inuyasha. Now I look like I've been stood up or something. Sango thought, walking across the intersection. That is the last thing I do him any favors! She thought as she walked. "Sango?" a voice asked from behind. Sango turned to see Miroku. But instead of his shirt and jeans, he was wearing a Wendy's fast food uniform. "Miroku?" Sango asked with a small laugh.
Inuyasha came to a stop at the bottom of Kagome's shrine. Kagome slowly climbed off the back, not truly use to getting on and off. She then pulled off the helmet and placed it on the back. "Thanks for the ride. I needed to get away from Kouga." Kagome thanked. "No problem Kagome." Inuyasha said, slightly blushing. "Um...Inuyasha?" Kagome asked shakily. "Yeah?" Inuyasha answered. "Do you want to go see a movie or something tomorrow?" She asked, her heat beating. "I...can't Kagome. My mom wants me to help around the house. We still haven't gotten everything back to normal yet." Inuyasha answered pain in his heart. "Oh..." Kagome felt her heart drop. "Well...thanks again." Kagome said turning to walk up the stairs. But she stopped and looked back at him She then walked over a placed a kiss on his cheek. Then she ran back up the stairs before Inuyasha could say anything to her.
"What are you wearing?" Sango asked with a small laugh. "Well, this is my glorious job. I work the drive-thru window at Wendy's." Miroku said, hanging his head. "That's what your living off of?" Sango asked with shock. "Yeah. Great huh?" Miroku said, felling lower then dirt. "Oh Miroku..." Sango said, feeling sorry for him. Yes, he was a lecherous person, but he was a good friend. And he was a good person once you got past how perverted he was. And no one deserved to live a good life more than Miroku. "You look nice tonight Sango. Going on a date?" Miroku asked. "What? Oh!" Sango was snapped out of her thoughts, then blushed at what she was wearing. "Don't get any ideas you lecher!" Sango yelled. Miroku only flashed her a small smile and went to walk off. "Miroku." Sango said, grabbing his wrist. "I'm not going on a date." She told him.
He turned to look at her, eyes deep with seriousness. A form of seriousness she had never seen there before. "You wanna go do something?" He asked weakly. Sango blushed and nodded. "Well, can we stop at my place? I think I might want to change." Miroku said, leading her down the street.
Sango followed Miroku up a flight of stairs in a small building. But as she climbed upward, she felt like someone was watching her. "Miroku, do you feel that?" She asked. "Yeah. That's just Shippo. He lives here, and has a weird habit of watching me when I get back." Miroku explained, walking down the hall. Sango looked back in time to see a door slam shut. "Why does he watch you when you get back?" Sango asked. "Hell if I know. Probably doesn't have cable like me." Miroku said, opening the door to his apartment.
Sango walked in and could only stare. The apartment wasn't bad, but she had seen better. The TV had static on the screen and had been muted out of annoyance. She could hear a dripping sound coming from the kitchen, and the floor was dirty and the room smelled of mold. "It's not great, but it's better than a box on the street." Miroku said walking past her and setting the key to the apartment on the coffee table. Sango nodded in agreement, still looking around. "You can sit on the couch while I change." Miroku said, walking through a door leading to his bedroom. Sango nodded and walked over to the couch. But when she got there she hesitated. The couch was old and looked ready to collapse. And it was not like she wouldn't have sat on it normally. She just didn't want to get anything on Ayame's dress.
So she simply stood there and waited for Miroku to come out. But as she waited she heard something squeak and run across the floor. Sango's eyes darted around the room, trying to find out what had caused the noise. She then heard another squeak and felt something run across her foot. She screamed and jumped up onto the couch. She had slain horrific demons that would make a grown man faint, but there was something about rats and mice that gave her the creeps.
Miroku quickly ran out to see what had happened and stopped at the sight of Sango on top the couch searching the floor. "What are you doing?" He asked with a small smile. "Something ran across my foot!" She whispered, still searching the floor. "Why are you whispering? Think it's going to jump out and get you if you talk to loud?" Miroku asked with a laugh. Sango scowled at him, but did not move from the couch. Miroku shook his head and walk over to her. He then quietly scooped her into his arms. He then carried her out of the apartment and pulled the door closed with his foot. But only seconds later, a slap echoed through the hallway.
Miroku and Sango walked out of a movie together laughing. They had gone to see The Grudge, but it wasn't scary at all. In fact, it only made her laugh. "Thanks for taking me out Miroku. I had a great time." Sango said, wrapping her arm around his. Miroku blushed at the sudden affection, but kept walking. "My pleasure." Miroku answered, fighting off the urge of his wandering his hand. "I really needed it." Sango said with sigh. She then laid her head sleepily on his shoulder. "Your tired Sango, let me walk you home." Miroku offered. "That'd be nice." Sango yawned.
Sango and Miroku walked out of the elevator and down the hall to Ayame's apartment. "Thanks again for taking me out and walking me home." Sango said, opening the door to the apartment. But as she went to say goodbye, the sight of his apartment flashed through her mind. "Wait! Miroku!" Sango yelled down the hall. "Do you...like...want to stay the night?" Sango offered. Miroku suddenly got this sly look on his face and walked back up to her. "Well Sango. I LOVE to spend the night with you." He answered. Sango suddenly glared at him and slammed the door in his face. That Jerk! Sango thought with anger.
Miroku laughed quietly to himself as he headed down the hallway. He didn't want Sango to feel sorry for him. He didn't have the greatest living space, but it was his and he was proud of it...sort of. I have my own place and not many guys can say that. Miroku thought, patting his pocket where his key should be. But then he stopped and patted his pocket again. Shit! Were is my key! Miroku thought, searching all over his person. But then he remembered. He had sat it down on the coffee table and hadn't remembered to pick it up on the way out. Miroku quickly ran back to Sango's Apartment and knocked on the door.
No answer came from inside. "Come on Sango!" Miroku begged, knocking on the door. Still, no answer came from inside. "Look, I'm sorry for being a jackass. But I left my key at my house and I can't call a locksmith until morning." Miroku said, knocking harder. He then heard the click of a lock being undone and then saw Sango opening the door. "On the couch. And if I see you in my room at any point of the night, I'll cut your 'member' off." Sango said, still glaring at him. Miroku nodded and walked into the apartment.
Kagome dressed quietly into a long T-shirt for bed, still thinking about Inuyasha. I guess I'll just have to get to know him as a friend. It's obvious that's what he wants and nothing more. Kagome thought with a sigh. She then quietly climbed under the covers and turned out the light. But she couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about Inuyasha. But a knock on her door made her sit up. "Yeah?" she yelled through the door. Slowly the door opened and there stood Sota, half asleep. " What is it Sota?" Kagome asked softly. "Mommy and Naraku are acting stupid again." He said quietly. Naraku and Mom had been drinking again. And Sota's room was downstairs, so he could hear it all and not get any sleep. "Come here Sota." Kagome said softly, lifting the covers and patting her mattress. Sota ran over and curled up on the mattress. Kagome then gently covered him and laid down next to him.
Inuyasha walked inside his home and flopped down on the couch. "Hello honey." His mother greeted, coming down the stairs. "Hey mom." He said, closing his eyes. "How did your date go?" She asked with a small smile. "It wasn't a date." He said. "Sure." His mother said with a laugh. "It wasn't!" He said, getting aggravated. "Well, anyway, you room is finished." His mother told him, walking into the kitchen. "It wasn't a date!" Inuyasha yelled after her, getting to his feet. "Okay." his mother yelled at him. "It wasn't! Sango helped me spy on Kagome!" he yelled. "So it was a date with Kagome?" his mother asked. Inuyasha felt his face turn red as he thought about the kiss Kagome had gave him on the cheek. "No!" He yelled, storming up the stairs to his room.
