" I'd like to show you exactly what you did…Both of you…"
Mindy adjusted her short pink shirt and followed behind him like a whipped dog. She was expecting him to point and yell, making her a prime example of an idiot. Before I could step up for her and yell myself, his lips curved into a smile.
He pointed at his friends in the back who were staring in a daze. I could only see red curly hair, and long straight black hair. The redhead seemed more interested in staring at us like pieces of meat then paying attention to the accident.
" You drove my friends wild… Well at least him. He's easily aroused."
The red head just smacked the window in anger to the comment of his former friend. My eyes just stared at this guy, who didn't seem pissed at all. He seemed rather happy, to have a bunch of girls smash into his car to exchange phone numbers with. He didn't seem in the least like all the other guys around school; Most had egos bigger then their mouths.
Mindy just giggled, a laugh that could send anyone laughing. It sounded like a honk of a goose, even her British accent she hid came out after every embarrassing moment. She twirled around in her skirt, while I stood there barely even apart of this.
" Please don't worry about the damages, girls. My friend Andy is a great mechanic. He could fix that bender up. Not a big deal. So rude not to introduce myself. Name's Blake."
" Mindy." She hinted with a slight giggle, both of them locking eyes as though they were targets.
" Kagome."I muttered placing my hand up unexcited in the least. Blake seemed like an interesting character, and judging by his clothes and things hanging in a car he was obsessed with music.
Mindy was studying him starting with his features, right down to his personality and his fashion. While they were busy exchanging phone numbers I began reading his band shirt that had a name I had never heard before.
" Aliens from Mars? Never heard of that band before. Sounds kind of gay if you ask me…"
I tried not to sound rude just the band name was throwing me off. It had a little spaceship which seemed alittle geeky, needless to say it was had good graphics and detail. Blake's smile snuck away coughing continuously which I didn't catch on to.
" That band.. is mine," There was me, saying the wrong thing as usual. My face probably went from different shades of red. "Don't worry about it though. I'm just the drummer. My friends in the car play guitar, bass and one sings. We were on our way to a gig, until this happened. We should be heading off though. Our fans will be waiting."
He folded up the ripped note that had been guitar tabs on the other side. She signed it with that stupid kiss mark she always left. He shook my head with a delighted smile, and suavely held on Mindy's that seemed to be forever.
" Nice to meet you ladies."
It was then he got in, slammed the door tight and disappeared into the sunset- at least that's what it seemed like to Mindy; at least she was happy to get his number.
We all came back into the car, seeing Maddy exciting jump all over as though we had been gone for hours. I gave a swift pat on the head, seeing me and Mindy just jumped into the conversation about Sango's problems which I could tell from the crying and marks on her shoulder.
" I told him off. He accused my mother of cheating right then and there, and that's when he thumped the dog real hard. Explaining he wished he never wasted any money on that stupid thing. That's how Maddy has the injured leg."
Even the name Maddy got him excited, like a keyword that triggered him off. Even with his injured leg he still managed to roam around, crushing myself and Remy once again. Remy wasn't a dog lover, but she couldn't help but feel symtheic towards Sango and specially Maddy after yelling at the poor thing.
" I didn't know it was that bad," Remy thought seeing we were right smack in the middle of downtown. There were some old ladies throwing food for the fat pidgins that were fighting over the pieces of bread.
" I just thought yelling at least. I never your father would actually do that to his own daugher. Especially your mom."
Mindy placed her arm on her shoulder for comfort, and slowly placed in there for a moment or so. We hated to hear Sango cry, it brought us all to pieces. We all knew she was having family problems, but her father beating and cheating on her mother was unheard of. If it was anyone else saying that we wouldn't of believed them, afterall, her father was the one who drove us from place to place, and always had the nicest things to say. And Sango never spoke up once until now.
" Its all my fault for opening my mouth. Maybe if I didn't my mother wouldn't of taken a hit for me."
Sango's head gravitated to the ground, her vision blurry from her tears. She had place that smile on for longer then we imagined, and we couldn't tell her to suck it up, or make things magically better. Mindy just gave her a place on her shoulder, while I sat in the tiny seat beside them.
" Sango look at me. It's not your fault. I know you don't believe me but, for every bad thing good things happen. Trust me."
I told her, seeing her head rise from Mindy's shoulders with a bleak smile. The Sango we still knew and loved was slowly shining through, it would just take a lot of time for her to come out of this coma.
" Just try to put this on hold. It's your birthday. Were going somewhere special. Your sixteen years old now! Get your G1, and get the hell out of here!"
Remy smiled giving her a nudge that brought out laughter and some of her happiness back. She sparkled back as though the incident never happened. She grabbed the tissues and wiped the last stain of eyeliner and threw them beside her.
" Were here! Sango you can't look yet!"
May laughed seeing we were all hauling her from the car, stepping onto the cobblestone sidewalk with Remy's hands covered her eyes and me on the look out for any peeking. Its when she stopped in front of Club 47, the music blaring every time someone opened the door.
" Did you guys take me to a concert!
She throated, her vocals loud enough for dogs to pick up on it from miles away. We all giggled, we just loved how sometimes her flaky side took over her within seconds.
We stood by the door, hands still keeping her in curiosity and darkness. Her feet were tapping as though she was going to jump out of her skin.
" Of course. Raine Maida is waiting there for you." Remy spoke with a soft tone. It was without warning Sango was screaming and pretty much ran through the door and realizing it was only an underground pub. She chuckled seeing everyone turn over at her, and that's when Mindy's honking laugh broke the silence.
" This was the place we thought you'd enjoy. Club 47. Great bands, great guys-"
" Oh snap they have a pub! Guys, I will see you possibly by the end of the night." Remy disappeared and placed herself on a bar stool like a regular drunk watching her already lining up shots with the blonde bartender.
All three of us took the booth table that had a small sign " Reserved"- considered it was the best seat in the joint- we all stand down with delight. To her surprise there were even balloons, and now the bartender personally bringing over shots that wasn't even apart of it.
" Here you go. These were sent over to you from a guy named Miroku, who wants me to also send you a message."
Sango just slumped against the cushiony back of the seat, her face was as red as her hair colour. We all stood in wonder seeing the young guy unfolded a piece of paper clearing his throat, like some spectular thing.
Mindy tapped May's hand and quickly whispered, " Who's Miroku?" Her eyebrow rose high enough for it to touch the very top of her forehead. " No idea."
" Sango
Your hair is a red as anger
Your eyes are blue as the sea
You are the prettiest girl on earth
So why don't you marry me?"
Sango began laughing, not even because of the poem. She stood up and there taking the bartenders place was this lanky, very well fit brown hair, that had open arms that locked over her. Her smile was the biggest I had ever witnessed since the past week. His arms embraced her tightly, dipping her over, and slowly picking her off the ground in a slow spin.
" Miroku I can't believe- w-o-w. All I can say it wow!" She giggled in bewilderment looking away, then turning back again. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and there she was, back to her quirky self.
" Come sit down! Don't be a stranger!"
He obeyed still with the jackass smile, sliding over while he sat right on the edge. He stretched and nodded coolly to each of us, like he was too great to even say hello.
" Guys, this is Miroku. The only who-"
" The one who's very good looking." He kidded, rubbing his hand on his shirt and gave me a wink. She gave him a playful slap on the shoulder.
" He's only kidding. The one who I use to date long before I moved here."
We all smiled, shaking his head politely while he placed his arms back. His eyes couldn't help but lock on Sango's. Even after six years they were acting- from what I heard- like they use to be. There was an attraction that never died, and that could easily be read on each of their faces.
" Guys can you excuse me for a second? Miroku and I are going outside for a cig. We should be back in a couple of minutes."
Mindy and I both nodded. We weren't stupid, so we let it go. We looked each other in agreement knowing we were all the same in thought. The way May's eyes brightened up when she touched his hand and heard that poem was beyond words. We were sure they wouldn't even be back for the rest of the night.

" Well I guess its just us two. Remy just disappeared with a handful of beers, and Sango won't be back for awhile."
" Finally!" I let out an excited yell knowing Mindy and I could finally wind down with each other, away from all the sanity that revolved around Remy, and specially Sango We just wanted some peace and quiet for a moment, and considering her and I barely ever had talks with each other.
" Oh..my…god. Look there he is! The guy we saw earlier from the car! Right on stage!"
Mindy was kind of slow, and maybe because she was blonde. I didn't look too much into it. Any time there was a blonde joke she took great offensive, yet didn't get it. She was good at easily mistaking people for someone else.She'd phone everyone like crazy, getting everyone in a hype. Then she would call back and apologize. So you couldn't blame me, for not believing her.
" You sure that's him? Blake?"
She tapped her fingers. Her legs were slowly parting, her elbow was pushed back on the table like she was ready to sprint and see this so called, Blake. She gave a scary psycho smile, while my eyes could only roll into my head and back again.
" No not really. I'm sure it is. He said he was going to a gig right when I hit his car. And that he has a band called Alien from Mars. It has to be! I'm gonna go ask!"
I couldn't help but chuckle. My friends were the oddest bunch that I had ever found. There was Remy, who enjoyed drinking and bitching at people for a living. Mindy, a sweetheart with looks but barely any brains, and Sango who seemed like the only normal friend out of the group who I could relate to.
