Chapter Two
"Bye, mom!" Kagome yelled as she left her house with Sango. Sango began leading the way to her house. After a while of unpacking things Kagome had agreed to go with Sango to see her house.
It wasn't long before Sango proclaimed that they were there. Kagome couldn't help but feel a little awkward going into the house someone that she had just met. It wasn't that she didn't trust Sango, it was just at her old school she hadn't had many friends. No one hated her or anything, she could just never seem to connect with anyone. She didn't know why, but she had always felt a little out of place.
"I don't think anyone is home yet." Sango said, snapping Kagome out of her thoughts. Kagome nodded her head and began to follow Sango up to her room when she noticed a picture.
"Is that your family?" Kagome asked as she observed the picture. There was a man standing there with what looked to be a young Sango standing beside him, holding her hand. Next to them was a woman who was holding a baby in her arms. They all seemed to be very happy.
Sango smiled sadly. "Well, it was, but then the accident happened." Sango said as she looked at he picture sadly "Mom didn't make it." Sango continued.
Kagome let out a small gasp. "I'm sorry, Sango. I didn't mean to…" Kagome trailed off, unsure of what to say.
Sango shook her head. "Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. It happened a long time ago, I am pretty much over it now." Sango said, honesty in her voice.
Kagome looked at the picture again. They all looked so happy, Kagome doubted that Sango really was completely over it. Ignoring her thoughts, Kagome looked up at Sango and smiled. "Lets go to your room." Kagome said. Sango nodded and began walking in the direction they had originally been going with Kagome following her.
"Here we are." Sango announced as she turned on a light switch in her room. The light revealed a medium sized room. It was sort of plain with white walls and posters of various things covering a little bit of the wall. To the side of her room was a well-placed bed with light pink sheets. On the other side of the wall sat a desk to do homework and other various things.
"Well, that's about it." Sango said as she looked at her room. She hadn't really noticed until then how sort of plain it looked. Sango shrugged. No use worrying about it now.
"Wow, I really like your room, Sango!" Kagome said honestly as her eyes searched the room.
"Thanks…" Sango said, wondering if Kagome really meant it or if she was just saying it to make her feel better.
Kagome began searching through Sango's room. She looked at various posters and books, making a comment every now and then. Sango just stood, trying to keep herself from laughing. When it seemed like Kagome would never stop, a small cat appeared in the doorway.
"Mew" The little cat said as it swished it puffy tail. Kagome immediately stopped looking around as her eyes rested on the cat in the doorway.
"Awwwww" Kagome said as she went over and picked it up.
"Hello, Kirara." Sango greeted the cat.
"Aww, what a cute name! Hello Kirara." Kagome said, also greeting the cat. Kagome put Kirara down and watched as Kirara walked over to her owner.
"Mew." Kirara said, obviously wanting to be petted. Sango bent down slightly and began stroking the cat's fur. Kirara began to purr happily. After a couple seconds Sango stopped and, deciding that she had been there long enough, Kirara began walking away to begin prowling the rest of the house.

"Finally!" Came Inuyasha's exasperated and hungry voice as Miroku walked back with food in his hands. "Took you long enough!" Inuyasha continued as he grabbed the bags from Miroku. Miroku sighed. Inuyasha was hopeless.
Inuyasha quickly pulled the food out of the bag and began eating. Miroku sat down also and ate, but less hastily than Inuyasha. Though, Miroku had to admit, he was very hungry too. Soon they finished and threw the stuff away.
Miroku decided to continue watching TV, even though the show he had been watching was already long over. Miroku looked at Inuyasha for a moment out of the corner of his eyes. He seemed bored. The feeling of feeling sorry for Inuyasha returned. Miroku sighed and got up.
"Lets go on a walk. Maybe it will help you clear your head." Miroku suggested.
"Feh. I don't need to clear my head. I'm fine." Inuyasha said as he looked away.
"Inuyasha, you are just being stubborn." Miroku said.
"Like I care." Inuyasha said, as stubborn as ever. It was then that Miroku came up with a plan.
"Inuyasha, if we go maybe you will get to see that Kagome girl." Miroku said. Inuyasha felt himself blush, but didn't know exactly why. He had just met her! He couldn't like her like that so soon. He hadn't even talked to her!
Miroku nodded in fake understanding and began walking out the door with a reluctant Inuyasha following him.
"Hey! Miroku! Where are we going!" Inuyasha demanded, wanting to know what they where going to do.
"Where ever the wind takes us." Miroku said in a mysterious voice.
"Cut it out and tell me." Inuyasha said, already getting annoyed with Miroku.
"Inuyasha, Inuyasha" Miroku said, the mysterious voice continuing, "You must learn to be more patient."
After a while of this continuing, Inuyasha stopped bugging him and started mumbling furiously. It isn't hard to imagine what he was saying.
--------------------------------------
Kagome walked with Sango down the street to a café. Sango had agreed to take Kagome around the town to show her some of the many places to do things. They where currently going to take a break and just sit down. They had already been through most of the town and where pretty tired.
"There it is!" Sango said as the café came into view. Kagome looked at it. It was a fairly small café, but it looked welcoming. There didn't seem to be many people in there, but they all seemed content.
They entered the café and went up to the counter to order. Soon, they came back with something to drink in each of their hands. The two then went to sit at an empty table. They drank their drinks in silence for a moment before Kagome decided to break the silence.
"So, what is your family like, Sango?" Kagome asked curiously. Sango took another sip of her drink before answering.
"Well, my brother, Kohaku, is a shy boy, but he can be somewhat outgoing at times. It is sort of hard to explain my dad, he is just sort of well, my dad. Kagome let out a laugh at this. "What is your family like?" Sango also asked Kagome.
Kagome looked thoughtful for a moment before replying. "I guess it is sort of the same as yours I guess. My brother is outgoing, but, like your brother, he can be shy at times. My mom is just my mom. No other word would describe her other than motherly." Kagome said, the thoughtful look returning.
The girls continued to talk, but after a while their drinks where gone and they got up to leave. They grabbed their bags and where about to walk out the door when they heard someone call their names.
"Kagome! Sango!" The girls turned their heads in the direction that their names came from and looked to see an unfamiliar boy with red hair running towards them.

Well, that's it for this chapter. I will try and get the next one up as soon as possible. The only problem is that I don't know how long 'as soon as possible' is. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you would review, anyway, thanks!
