"I don't understand! Why is everybody so shady when the topic of Kikyou comes up?!" I was ranting for hours now as I paced back and forth in my room with Ayame and Sango sitting on my bed.
"We're just as clueless as you Kags." Sango said. I'm sure both of them were very annoyed by me. I honestly didn't care. I bet Sango would freak out if the guy she was head over heals in love with was so mysterious! As if irony wasn't constant enough in my life my cell phone rang. It was my cousin Miroku.
I was happy to see his name on my caller I.D. It had been months since I'd last talked to him, seeing as his family moving to Hong Kong in all. Miroku was like my twin brother. I was devastated when he left. I wasn't the only one, either.
"Roku!" I practically yelled as I answered the phone.
"Hey Kaggy I've missed you!"
"Oh Miroku, I've missed you too! So much!" Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Sango stand and whisper something in Ayame's ear, then she quietly exited the room.
"Well, I'm in town this week. I was wondering if I could stay with you? I really hate the hotels."
"My gods Miroku! Of course you can. When will you be over?" I glanced at Ayame and she was making that cut throat hand movement.
"Well, I'm walking up the shrine steps as we speak."
"Oh my God! Miroku wait! ..Uh, I mean let me go meet you out there." Then I hung up the phone. "Ayame quick! Get Sango out through the back! Miroku is out front, hurry!"
"Fuck!" She sprang up and ran out the room. I quickly followed.
-
"Hey Miroku!" I gave him a hug. You know those kind of hugs where you just run and almost jump on them? Yeah, those.
"Hey Kagome, what's new?" He started heading into the house. Oh fuck, umm think Kagome!
"No! I mean why don't we go out to eat or something? There's nothing to do at the house. It's on me!" I started pulling him back down the steps.
"I'm really tired Kagome. I was flying all day." Damn it all.
"Nonsense! I'll even drive!" I pushed him into the passenger side and climbed in the driver's seat ready to take off.
"Sango's here, isn't she?" He barely whispered. Fuck, how'd he know?
My hand froze right when I was about to turn the key to start the car. "N-no! I just wanted to get out of the house. You know how things are."
He sighed. "She's here."
I stopped trying to lie. "Yes, but by now her and Ayame are on their way to her house."
"Well, let's go inside then." He got out of the car and started heading back up the steps, looking all emoish.
I sighed and followed. That wasn't how I wanted Miroku to feel on his visits here. Him and Sango had been dating when he left without telling her. She was so angry she refused to speak to him.
I thought that they should just get over it. Sure long distance relationships were tough but if they loved each other as much as they had claimed I'm sure it would have worked out fine. Now they both just mope around when anyone mentions the other's name. It's ridiculous!
When we got to my room Miroku dropped his bags and collapsed on my bed. I went to lie down next to him. "You know Roku I'm not going to let you mope while you're here. You're my cousin, almost brother and I missed you! So, we're going to have fun just like the good old days!"
"You mean like when we were seven? Sneaking out of the backyard with about a week's savings and going to the ice cream parlor?"
"Exactly like when we were seven!" I sat up and went to my dresser and pulled out a twenty. "Except we're richer now and can hit the movies instead!"
"Well then let's go!"
-
"See wasn't that a great movie?" I turned to Miroku from as we exited the doors from the movie theaters into the mall and clapped.
"Yeah it was great." He chuckled. I was glad to help out Miroku. It was keeping my mind off of things.
"We should stop at the food court, Kags. I'm starving." He looked down at his growling stomach and rubbed it.
The look I was giving portrayed that I couldn't believe his words. Hah. I'm smartical. "Are you kidding me?! You just ate like two pickles and a tub of popcorn!"
"Your point?"
"Men."
-
When we got to the food court Miroku set off on his journey to find the perfect lunch, as he called it and I waited at a table smack dab in the middle of everything.
About five minutes later Miroku came back with a foot long corndog, a frito burger, and two large orders of fries.
"You sure that's enough Roku?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm.
He thought about it for a while looking down at his tray. "I'm not sure…"
I couldn't help but giggle a little. I missed my Twinkie and his over eating. "Fattie." My eyes roamed the food court as I sipped my favorite soda through a bendy straw. My eyes swept over a faraway figure and I did a double take. "Fuck!"
"What?!" Miroku said with a mouth full of fries. He followed my stare and his eyes landed on Inuyasha. "Hey look! Its Yash! I haven't seen him in ages! Hey Ya-" I practically jumped over the table and clamped my hand over his mouth.
"Shut up! He can't see me! Hurry the eff up and finish your dang food!" My voice held a hint of panic.
"And why not?" He gave me that look.
"I'll explain everything later. Just hurry up please, Miroku!" I would have got on my knees and begged if I needed to.
"Okay." He practically stuffed his corndog down his throat. "I'm done. Let's go, but you know we have to pass him to get out of here right?"
"Crap! Well we'll be real sneaky like. Now come on!" I grabbed Miroku's hand and rushed through the crowd hearing cries of surprise and annoyance as I rammed into random people. 'Oh that's really sneaky, Kagome.'
"Miroku? Is that you?!" Crap. Crap. Crap.
"Ignore him, Roku." I whispered a little loudly.
"Too late." I heard Miroku mutter. I turned to look at Miroku and saw Inuyasha only feet away. Kami-sama please help me…
"Hey man I haven't seen you in- Kagome?" He stopped mid sentence.
"Well -cough- I really haven't been in Kagome…" Hentai.
"No! I mean, you two know each other?" I notice him take a quick glance at our intertwined hands as I tried to look anywhere else but his face. Not going to well.
"Yes. Kagome and I have known each other since we were in diapers." I looked up at Miroku and noticed his worried expression before he turned away from me to look at Inuyasha.
"So, you two are together?" I held back a laugh.
"Oh. No! Kagome and I are cousins. We're so close we think of each other as twins."
"Oh!" I hated the way his voice seemed to brighten up at that fact. I would hate to have seen his facial expression.
"Well, we have to go Inuyasha. Miroku will be in town all week. You two can catch up later." I was still looking at everything but him.
"Kay…" By the time I heard his response I had already started walking off, dragging Miroku behind me.
"Later Man! I'll see you soon!" I heard him yell over his shoulder. "Now, what was that all about?" The question of course directed towards me.
"Like I said I'll explain everything later. I need to catch my breath."
Wow I've been gone for a while haven't I? Heh. I'm not going to make up excuses so whatevs! Uhm well it's summer and I'm going to have plenty of time to write sooo yeah! I know this isn't much of a chapter but I'm stretching the story out a little and throwing some Mir/San in! And I'm withholding some of the Inu/Kag drama for awhile to keep you on your toes!
