1Hey guys! What is up with all you peeps out there! Lol. It's great to be back! I had a great time in Washington and I missed you guys so much! I tried to post up at the hotel, but the connection would cost me 5 bucks and a dollar every two minutes! But I'm here now, and that is what counts! I also want to let you know that this weeks post might take a while to get up because My Exit Exam is coming up and I have to crack down. If I don't pass it this year, I'll have to take it next year and it will cost me money. The school comes up with new and exciting ways to steal your money, right? And on another happy note, I'm going to be a junior next year! Yay! Lol. Okay, on with the story!
Chapter 21: Love and Pain
Sango laid asleep under the covers of her comforter. It was Saturday morning, and she didn't feel like waking up. But as she lay under the warm blanket, the smell of pancakes drifted into her room. Ayame can't cook. Sango thought, sitting up. Slowly she stretched and let out a final yawn before climbing out of the bed. "Ayame?" she called out, opening her door. She walked down the hall, sliding her feet across te floor in a pair of worn-out slippers. "Ayame?" she called out again. But as she came around the corner into the living/kitchen, she saw that Miroku was behind the stove.
He had on the apron Sango had gotten as a present and a fake chef hat he had made from a newspaper comic page. He looked over and flashed her a big smile. "Morning." he greeted. "Morning." she said with a laugh. He set down a stack of pancakes at the bar as she grabbed a stool. "What are you wearing?" she asked, reading a Garfield comic on his hat.. "I thought I should get into character." he told her, grabbing a seat next to her.
"Thanks for last night Miroku. I really appreciate it." she said with a small smile. "It was my pleasure." he told her softly. "You've had it rough Sango. And I know of your plans for revenge. But you can't do it all, and I think you should take it easy." Miroku told her. "Listen to me Miroku. Both my family's were killed in front of me, and my friend has been hurt. I can't step back and just take it." she told him, getting serious. "I understand. But know that Kagome. Inuyasha and I are also here to help you. Let's not forget my little problem as well." he said, raising his right palm.
Sango grabbed his hand and held it over her heart. "I know Miroku. I could never forget you. You will always be close to me." She told him, laying her head on his shoulder. Miroku then laid his head upon hers and they stayed like that. Enjoying each others company.
Kagome sat hunched over her text books. She and a test coming up again, and she was so busy with her personal life, she hadn't been paying attention in class. She had spent most of her Saturday pouring over books, so she just noticed that it was almost six. "How could a day go by so fast!" She sighed, staring at the clock. As she placed her books back in her worn yellow book bag, the sound of footsteps came running up the stairs. Soon a knock came on her door and Sota walked in. "Mom has left for work and it's Saturday night." he said with a sigh. "Poker night." Kagome said with disgust.
Naraku had moved in over a week ago, and he had taken over the house. Her mom got most of the abuse, mostly because if he laid a hand on her she kicked his ass. "So, do you want to watch Pokemon or Digimon?" Kagome asked, pulling her remote out of her desk drawer. "Pokemon!" he yelled, getting happy. Kagome pointed the remote at her small TV and changed it to Pokemon.
Seeing her brother was happy, Kagome walked out of her room and downstairs. As she headed to the kitchen, she felt eyes fall upon her. Those sick friends of his were here already. As she left the kitchen with a drink, a whistle came from the living room. "Go to Hell!" she yelled, going up the stairs.
As she closed the door behind her, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He is drunk already. She thought with a sigh. She quietly placed her drink on the desk and walked outside of her room. No need for Sota to see what happens next. She decided, closing the door.
Naraku stormed up to her and glared at her with glazed eyes. "How dare you talk to my friends in the tone!" he yelled, slurring his words together. "Well, if your friends had some manners, I wouldn't have to yell at them." she shot back. "I think you owe him an apology!" he yelled, grabbing her by the hair. He started to drag her down the stairs, but she grabbed his wrists and pulled her hair free, causing him to lose his balance and fall down the rest of the stairs.
Kagome got to her feet and went down the rest of the stairs. She walked over to Naraku on the ground and yelled, "Don't ever lay your filthy hands on me you fucker!" With that, she grabbed the handle on the door and walked outside. As she stormed down the stairs of the shrine, she heard laughing coming from the house. The asshole just thinks it's one big joke! She thought with anger.
As she walked the dark streets, tears of aggravation came. Her mother had screwed up her life again. No matter where she went, shit seemed to follow. Sota was growing to grow up abused if she didn't get rid of Naraku, and Kikyou was still out there somewhere. Nothing was going right for her! But as she thought this, Inuyasha came to mind. She couldn't help but smile at the thought of him. She had tried to think of him as only a friend, but her love for him would not die. She needed him more than ever.
As she thought about him, she realized she wasn't far from his house. Would he care if she stopped by? Would he mind if she stayed with him forever? She quickly headed down his street and went up to his house. But the strength to push the door bell wouldn't come to her. He didn't like her the way she liked him, so why would she bother? But her heart ached for him. She needed him.
Suddenly the door opened and she saw Inuyasha standing there. He saw the shocked look on her face and said, "I could smell you outside." Kagome blushed, but didn't stop looking at him. She then noticed for maybe the first time how soft his lips looked. His body looked so warm and welcoming in his white muscle shirt and black baggy pants.
Not truly knowing what she was doing, Kagome flung herself upon him and pressed her lips upon his. Inuyasha stood there shock at her sudden action. But her warm kiss made him go numb. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back, enjoying the love he felt from her.
I know, it's to short, but I'm working on a really big chapter idea next, and I don't want to give to much away in this chapter. Okay? So hang in there for me okay? You guys are the best! Loves!
