Chapter 3: A Crack In Their Friendship

"WHAT!" Jakotsu practically screamed at them. "I HAVE TO SHARE A ROOM WITH… THAT… WENCH?"

"Jakotsu, calm down!" Bankotsu said taking a step back. Sango was hiding behind him. "It was the principle's choice, not mine."

"Yeah, well I'm going to go and have a 'talk' with him!" Jakotsu snarled.

"Jakotsu no!" Bankotsu said grabbing Jakotsu's shoulder and pulling him back. "You know that if you back-talk the principle one more time he's gonna kick you out!"

Jakotsu shuddered. "And then I would have to go to a… public school! With girls! Gah! I can't even think about it!" He looked at Sango and pouted. "You better not annoy me!" he muttered.

Sango nodded quickly and slowly walked in, observing her surroundings. It was very… girly. But that wouldn't be a problem, it was just that fact that Jakotsu was a guy. I'll just pretend he's a girl! Sango thought to herself.


"So Jakotsu, it looks like we have math and health together," Sango commented looking at her schedule.

Jakotsu peered an eye open from his bed, which was where he was relaxing. "Great," he mumbled, clearly annoyed.

Sango sighed and sat down on his bed. "Look, I know you hate my guts, but we're going to be roommates for the next semester. There must be something that we have in common so we can get along?"

Jakotsu thought for a moment, and his face lit up. Sango could just imagine a light bulb light up on top of his head.

"Say, do you like… shopping?" he asked suddenly.

A smile spread on Sango's face. "Shopping? That happens to be my specialty! No one can max out their credit card like I can!"

Jakotsu sat up. "Oh yeah? You think so?"

"I have witnesses!" Sango said challengingly.

"You're on!" Jakotsu shouted and he ran out the door, Sango following close behind.


Bankotsu looked up and saw Sango and Jakotsu return with shopping bags. He rolled his eyes. Maybe he wont kill her after all…

Sango walked over to greet him, with Jakotsu close behind.

"So, what's there to do around here?" Sango asked as they walked down the hall.

"I know! We could-" Jakotsu began, but he was cut off by an ear piercing shriek. Jakotsu and Bankotsu looked back to see Sango frozen on the spot with Miroku right behind her; his hand where it shouldn't be.

Sango spun around and slapped him, leaving a handprint on his cheek. "Jack-ass! Keep your hands to yourself!" she screamed, causing everyone to stop and look at the scene.

Bankotsu cleared his throat. "Miroku, this is Sango. She's new here."

Miroku's eyes widened. "You mean, she'll be going to this school now?" Bankotsu nodded and took Sango's hand and began kissing it. "I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean to cause and disrespect! Please find it in your heart to forgive me!" he said between kisses.

Sango took a step back as he slowly began moving his way up her arm. She pulled her arm away. He looked up at her with pleading eyes. "Please?"

"Fine, whatever! Just keep your lecherous hand to yourself!" she said, backing away a little more.

Bankotsu rolled his eyes. He should have known Miroku would be up all over her like that.

Sango turned to Bankotsu. "I'm just going to drop this stuff off in my room, K?" she asked. He nodded.

As soon as she left, Miroku stood up and walked over to Bankotsu.

"Hey, Bankotsu…" he asked. "We're buddies, right?"

Bankotsu raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, why?"

"Well, since we're so understanding… Sango's mine, OK?'

Bankotsu stared at him for a moment, and opened his mouth to protest, but Miroku cut him off.

"Great! Glad to see we understand each other!" he exclaimed and smacked Bankotsu on the back.

It was silent after that. Miroku, staring at Bankotsu, daring for him to protest. Bankotsu, furious at Miroku for thinking he could just claim Sango like that. Jakotsu stood in the middle. Looking back and forth between the two. Then he broke the silence. "I like eggs!"

Bankotsu and Miroku shot a glare his way before turning to leave.
