The Boyfreind Files
Chapter 3
By the time she got home, it was way past midnight, and she was ready to collapse. She dropped her bag on the floor, not caring about the uniform that spilled out on the floor. She tugged at her hair, letting it fall in a messy waterfall down her back.
She walked past the phone, and noticed the blinking button.
'Someone called?' she wondered.
Shrugging and pressing the button, she walked to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of Iced Tea.
'You have 2 new messages.' something beeped, and the robot person spoke again. 'Message one.'
"Ms. Higurashi, this is your phone company calling, we understand you have not paid your bills this month so if you would please call.." The manly voice droned on as Kagome rolled her eyes, and put the dirty glass in the sink. 'Stupid bastards. Aren't you rich enough already?' she wondered.
'Message two.'
"Hey Kagome.." Sango's voice filtered through the room and Kagome's head snapped up. "I don't know when you're getting back from work, and I really hope you get this soon. Please come over to my house as soon as you do. I already called Kagura, she'll be here soon. Please hurry Kagome, it's about Miroku."
Something about Sango's voice said this wouldn't be good news, and she wondered what was wrong. Without missing a beat she flew out of the kitchen and out the door. It slammed closed after her when she was already half way down the stairs, exhaution all but forgotten.
What the hell happened?
-----
To Kagome, Sango seemed to have the easier life out of all three of them.
Kagura, though she was the oldest, and the 'guairdian' for the both of them when they were in highschool, had her share of bad luck. After falling in love with a boy from a wealthy family, she was on cloud nine. That was before he slept with her, broke up and left the country. All the while not knowing she was pregnant.
Still not caring about the jackass of a father, she planned to keep the baby, therefore dropped out of highschool. Unable to continue going to school without their guardian, the other two girls dropped out as well. Two weeks later Kagura lost her baby in a mugging accident.
Kagome's parents didn't stick around much when she didn't fit into the family mold. Her Step-mother didn't like the fact that her father had to take care of a child from his previous marrige when her mother passed away. So after spending three months in the company of a stuck up, bitchy, step-mother, and a dad who couldn't care less, she ran away. No one bothered looking for her.
She did, however, keep contact with her younger half brother. He didn't seem to inherit his mother's bitchy-ness or his fathers higher-then-though attitude. He was sweet, and didn't fit in much either. She was sure his mother would disown him without a second thought too if he wasn't blood related. It was a sad excuse for a family.
Sango has loving parents till she was 12, which was longer then all of them. Kagura was on her own since she was 8, and Kagome 9.
They died in a car accident, leaving her alone with little money to support herself. She met up with Kagome and Kagura weeks later, when all of them turned out to be rejects in the same school.
Ever since then, all of them have been as tight, as, well, something very tight.
Things were looking up when they went to highschool, and got somewhat average grades. After the 'Kagura-accident' they dropped out and got jobs, helping eachother out.
Sango found a perfect guy, Miroku, who loved (and groped) her as much as a guy should. He brought her flowers, and showered her with compliments. Her and Kagura set a bet on when he'd propose.
So, now as Kagome ran down the street to Sango's place, she wondered what was going on.
---------
She knocked at the door, panting. When it didn't open she growled, kicking it with her foot. It opened by itself, the lock not turned. She walked in, slamming it shut behind her.
She walked in, looking towards the small living room. Sango sat in a chair, tears streaking down her face, and Kagura looked mad as hell.
"What the hell happened?" she asked, walking in and going to Sango. "Is Miroku okay?"
Sango burst into a fresh set of tears, almost falling off her chair in her grief, and Kagome hugged her, looking at Kagura.
"He's fine. But he won't be when I'm done with him." She answered, red eyes glowing.
"Guys.." Kagome asked again. "Can someone tell me what the hell happened?"
