Chapter 3: You Scared Me!

Miroku sat on the bench, while Sango was cheerleading. Bankotsu had the ball and was once again running for the goal.

"C'mon! You can do it!" Sango cheered. Miroku shot her a cold stare.

"Don't cheer for him!" he snapped.

Sango gave him a puzzled look. "Why not? I can't exactly cheer for you."

"Then cheer for someone else," Miroku protested.

"What do you have against Bankotsu? I think he's nice…" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"I just don't like him. "Miroku muttered, crossing his arms.

Sango smirked. "What, you jealous?" she taunted.

Miroku stood up quickly and slammed his helmet on the ground, making Sango jump. "I'm not jealous! Can we just drop it?" he shouted.

"Umm… OK, I was just kidding…" Sango said trembling. She had never seen Miroku flip out like this before. It kind of scared her.

Miroku sat on the bench and rubbed his head. He let out a small groan and held his head with his hands.

"Miroku?" Sango asked in a quiet voice. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine! Just go away!" he said in a rather harsh tone.

"Miroku-"

"Shut up!" he shouted. He stood up and raised his fist in the air, causing Sango to scream.

Miroku's eyes widened and he lowered his fist; as if he had just realized what he was about to do. "Sango I- I didn't mean to…" he wrapped his arms around the now crying Sango. "I'm just under a lot of stress."

He sat down with her on the bench. "Don't do that again!" she wailed. "You scared me Miroku!"

"I know, I'm sorry Sango." Miroku put his hand on her cheek and kissed her, but she pushed him away.

"I'd better get to practice," she muttered, not even looking at him as she left.

Bankotsu once again looked over to Sango and frowned. She was… crying? Her face was buried in her hands and her shoulders were trembling. Kikyou and Ayame, along with some other girls whom he didn't know, were trying to comfort her.

He wondered if something happened between her and Miroku. It had to be. A few minutes ago she was jumping around the field cheering for everyone!

In the next class, Sango was a bit shaky, but she soon got caught up in the conversation that she forgot all about it. Well, not entirely.

Bankotsu noticed that she was sitting as far away from Miroku as possible, and he seemed pretty pissed off about it too.

The guy kept looking at her and narrowing his eyes. Bankotsu wondered if she finally broke up with him. Why else would he be so… edgy?

The next assignment was to be done in groups. Bankotsu turned around to his brothers. It was then that he noticed a shadow standing over him. When he looked behind him he saw that Sango was standing there.

"Umm… do you think I could join you guys?" she asked rather shyly. Bankotsu glanced behind her and saw that Miroku was sitting with her friends. He looked back up at her and smiled.

"Sure," he said. She smiled gratefully and pulled up a chair. They began talking about the assignment, which was to create and sell a product. They decided to make an outfit, curtsey of Sango. They all rejected at first, but Sango reminded them that it had to be something that people would want to buy. And girls love clothes, so what better way?

"You said girls love clothes. We're talking about everyone, not just girls," Suikotsu argued.

"True, but think of all the guys who are boyfriends. Everyone knows that boyfriends buy a lot of gifts for their girlfriends-" Sango was cut off by Jakotsu.

"You would know! Jakotsu taunted.

Sango sent him a warning glare before she continued on. "Anyway, because girls love clothes, it makes the perfect gift. Especially for all those desperate boyfriends out there!" Sango announced and Suikotsu sighed in defeat.

But Jakotsu wasn't done arguing. "Aha! You forget that desperate boyfriends are also stupid boyfriends! If there's one thing that guys can't do is buy a decent outfit for a girl! Beat that!"

Sango just smiled. "That, Jakotsu, is why we're here."

They all finally agreed. After all, it was the marks that mattered.

"Oo-aniki, can I be the model? Please?" Jakotsu begged.

Bankotsu rolled his eyes. "Jakotsu, if anyone saw you wearing the out, no one would by it!" Jakotsu pouted.

"Don't worry Jakotsu," Sango smiled. "I can model it!" Then she added quickly, "Providing, that it's not anything skimpy, OK?"

They all nodded, although some were a little disappointed with the last comment, cough Bankotsu cough Renkotsu cough

Hey, Suikotsu? Do you agree?" Sango asked, glancing over at the kid who hadn't spoken in a while. She followed his gaze and realized that he was staring at a certain someone.

She squealed. "Suikotsu! You so like-" he quickly covered her mouth.

"Shhhh!" he hissed. Sango smiled happily and nodded.

Everyone looked over to see what the big deal was, and Bankotsu caught Miroku's eye. He was glaring at him… again.

Careful, your face might stay like that! Bankotsu thought inwardly to himself.
