Damn it! I honestly don't know why this it is so damn hard to update for this story! For every other one it's pretty much pouring out of my ears and this one is like a well gone dry! It pisses me off, royally. So I'm going to try and write this, and if it sucks like the other end of a horse; you have my sincerest apologies. So here's Radio Love 5.
Radio Love Chapter 5
Kagome groggily threw her legs over the other side of the bed, hearing a squeak next to her. Turning her head, she noticed little Shippo sleeping in her bed with a fist full of her covers. She smiled at him and swept a couple strands of orange hair from his rosy face. She kissed his forehead and glanced at her clock as she quietly stood up, and tiptoed across the floor. As she opened the door, she didn't hear the faint creaking noise she always did when opening it. She ignored the fact and went off to find Sango to get ready for work. She found her friend in the bathroom fixing her hair.
"Hey Sango, ready to go?" Kagome asked, not even glancing in the mirror, apparently comfortable with her appearance after a nap.
"Yes, I didn't want to disturb you and…" Sango glanced at her, "Holy shit!" She yelled, her eyes getting as wide as dinner plates. Kagome noticed the scream was loud, but not as loud as it should have been. She quickly turned and stared at the mirror.
"What Sango? What's…" her eyes also got wide as her hands tunneled through her hair. She screamed. "What the hell, I can't believe it's time already!" Kagome yelled, her hand coming up to wipe a hand over her face. Kagome's black and silver hair was now a shiny black with a blue tint and her ears were no longer there. Her once vibrant aqua eyes were now a vibrant chocolate brown, filled with annoyance and disbelief. She bunched her hair in her hands as she shook her head. "Damn it, damn it, damn it to hell!" She cursed, that following a few other choice words. Sango sighed.
"Well, apparently we weren't watching the calendar or the moon too well, my friend." Sango said regrettably, sighing as she ran a hand through her hair. "Look's like I'll have to call Linda." Sango said as she growled once. "I really don't like Linda." She narrowed her eyes at the mirror. "That little snob…" She started as she cursed a colorful rainbow of curses. Now was Kagome's time of being human. Around this time, she was confined to the apartment, with all windows and door locked. There were a lot of people, demons included, that would love a slice of revenge. If they knew her dirty little secret, she would be in for a ride, that's for sure. Also, along with this one night house arrest, she was not aloud to go to work, or have friends over for any reason. Kagome sighed and exited the bathroom, and went to a window to peer at a full moon. She sighed again as Sango came into the living room.
"Yep, it's a full moon and I'm not going insane." She said as she turned to Sango.
"Well, at least you baby sit Shippo…" She gasped, "Shippo!" They both said, grabbing their heads.
"Damn, you know what's going to happen? He's going to think I'm some kind of kidnapper trying to take him and he'll think we ran off and left him here alone!" Kagome said, feeling a headache coming on.
"Hm…" Sango tapped her chin, trying to think of some way to explain this to Shippo, "We could wake him up and tell him." She guessed. As if on cue, Shippo walked into the room, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand cutely.
"Tell me what?" He yawned.
"Shippo…" Kagome said quietly as she put on a small smile. Shippo looked at her and stared, bursting into tears and running back into the room, peering at her from behind the doorframe. "Ah, Shippo!" She whined, stomping the ground hopelessly. Sango glanced at Kagome and turned her attention fully on Shippo. She took a deep breath and distanced herself from Kagome, holding her arms out for Shippo.
"Come here honey," She cooed, as she curled her fingers toward her to tell him to come to her. He kept a steady eye on the stranger as he darted the distance and into the safety of Sango's arms. She quickly picked him up and looked at him. "Ok Shippo. Something happened to Mama Kagome. You see, since Kagome is half demon, she has a certain time every month when she turns human. So this is what she looks like in her human form, ok?" She said very slowly, praying he would understand and wouldn't throw a fit. He looked at Kagome, and then cast a questioning gaze at Sango then back at Kagome.
"So you mean she's Mama Kagome?" He asked, peering at the so-called Kagome again. He jumped out of Sango's arms and sat in front of Kagome as she kneeled down and peered into his emerald eyes. "Can you prove you're my mama?" He asked, eyeing her carefully. She threw her head back and laughed openly, the sound filling the room. She looked back at him, laughter very much apparent in her eyes.
"Course I am you silly fox. Who else would I be?" She asked, ruffling his hair, thankful that he didn't pull away.
"A kidnapper," He answered simply, crossing his arms across his chest. Kagome raised a well groomed eye brow at the sight. It somehow reminded her of Inuyasha a bit.
"Think about it, Shippo, if I was a kidnapper, would Sango really let me get this close to you?" She asked, intentionally getting so close their noses touched as she rubbed noses with him. "The answer is no. So the only possible reason I would be here, without her attacking me already would be I'm Kagome, or I'm some random visitor. And I'm not a random visitor." She assured him. He glanced at Sango as she nodded. Kagome straightened back up. He smiled widely and pounced on her.
"Kagome, you look different!" he said, hugging her. She smiled and picked him up, cradling him in her arms.
"There's something else Shippo, you can't tell anyone that I turn human, ok? I'm being completely serious. If anyone knew I could be in serious danger, got it?" She asked him, her eyes filled with infinite seriousness. He nodded and put his pointer finger and thumb together, sliding it across his mouth as Kagome smiled and kissed his forehead. "That's my boy. Now say good-bye to Sango before she's late." She said as he jumped out of her arms and hugged Sango, saying a good-bye as he jumped back to Kagome. "Bye Sango, good luck with Linda." Kagome said, smiling as Sango made a face and shut the door.
The door shut with infinite closer, leaving a stranded Kagome and Shippo in desperate need for any form of entertainment. Kagome stared at the door, her head unconsciously turning slightly to the side, peering at it as if expecting a magic leprechaun to jump out and hand her a pot of delicious, pleasing entertainment. Kagome pondered the magic leprechaun theory a bit, thinking the leprechaun would be entertainment enough. If she could some how capture it, and use its magical leprechaun powers for…
"Kagome, I'm bored." Shippo's high pitched voice shattered her thoughts as she shook her head and looked at him as a 'what' expression came over her face. He sighed.
"Kagome, I'm bored." He repeated, looking at her exasperated. "What are we going to do?" He asked, a pout coming onto his face. Kagome sighed, and shifted Shippo to one hip, placing a finger on her chin as she pondered this intriguing question. She turned around and lazily walked over to the couch, and looked at the TV, and the stack of movies beside them. She raised an eyebrow and plopped on the couch, setting Shippo on her lap facing him.
"Shippo, tell me something." Kagome said, looking at the child as he tilted his head slightly.
"Sure."
"Have you ever seen Lion King?" She asked. Shippo looked up a bit, surveying the deep crevasses of his mind for the name. And finally shook his head. Kagome gasped audibly. "Oh my, you almost missed out on childhood my friend! Lucky you have me around, huh?" she said, nuzzling her nose with his, her hair waving around widely. She set him on the couch and went to prepare the movie. Shippo spread his legs out and put his hands on the couch between them, leaning forward a bit to see what she was doing.
"Is it a good movie?" He asked as Kagome nodded.
"The best, I watched it when I was kid." She said pressing play as the commercials began to roll and she went to the small kitchen to prepare a rather large bowl of kettle corn. "What do you want to drink with popcorn?" She asked, setting the several bags of kernelled popcorn in the microwave, pressing some buttons and it begun as she reached in a cabinet on the floor, pulling out a large metal bowl and two sippie cups.
"Hm…" Shippo pondered the many drink options. "I want…grape soda." He said, jumping on the top of the couch, his legs dangling off as he grinned.
"Grape soda it is, grape soda for you, and good ol' root beer for me." She said, pouring the specified drinks in two different containers. She tightened the bottles then put them back, leaning up against the counters as she watched the many popcorn bags inflate. "Popcorns almost ready." She warned as the movie started. "Now Shippo, I want you to pay attention to these sing-alongs. I guarantee you will be singing them the rest of your life." She said, looking at the microwave. The popcorn stopped as she opened it and reached in, grabbing the rim of the bag and instantly withdrew her hand, cursing faintly. Back on the couch, Shippo stood up and looked up worriedly at Kagome.
"Mama? Are you ok? Are you hurt?" he asked, seeing her run her fingers over cold water.
'Damn,' she thought, feeling the soothing cold water caress her fingers, 'when I was half demon I would've never felt that. I hate being human.' She thought, withdrawing her fingers and drying them, this time grabbing the bag with two towels as she opened it and poured the contains into the metal bowl. Seeing no burn spots, she smiled faintly. "Yes, Shippo, I'm fine. Just burned myself a bit is all. Hey, we didn't burn any!" She said, repeating the process as the warm scent of kettle corn wafted into her nose and filled the apartment. She closed her eyes briefly, savoring the sweet smell in her nostrils. After emptying all popcorn bags and disposing of them, she shook the popcorn in the metal bowl a little and added some regular popcorn shaking it up. Breathing it in once more, she walked over and set the popcorn bowl on the small coffee table in front of Shippo as she went back a brought the sippie cups. She handed Shippo his. "And here's your beverage, masseur." She said, smiling and setting down as they watched the movie.
An hour an a half later, Shippo's head lay on Kagome's lap, as they laughed as the movie ended. Shippo sat up and turned to look at her, a smile gleaming on his face. "I loved that movie, Kagome!" he said, smiling more. "It was so sad when Mufassa died!" He said. Kagome smirked, and ran a hand through his hair.
"You cried, you big baby." She said.
"I did not cry!" Shippo denied, even though there was a roll of toilet paper for him to blow his nose on and rolled up tissues beside that. "I'm not a baby!" He pouted more as Kagome laughed.
"Fine, fine, I'm sorry. You're not a big baby, you're a big boy," She said as he gleamed of pride at his new title, "who just happened to cry." She smirked, as Shippo glared. He bounded off the couch as he started singing the 'Acuna Mattata' theme and forgot the words so he just sang the tune, dancing around. Kagome leaned on the back of the couch, seeing Shippo dance and wished she had a video camera. She would love to show this to him when he turned sixteen, or at least fifty. She shook her head as she crossed her arms and glanced at the clock. She gasped and turned on the radio. "Hey Shippo, Mama Sango's going to be on the radio, want to hear?" She asked, tuning it. Shippo bounded and jumped over the couch, landed on Kagome's head as she had to stop herself from doing a face plant into the table. "Shippo..." She scolded. "If you're going to do that, please tell me first!" She said irritated, straightening out her neck as she finished tuning and pried Shippo off her head and set him beside her as they started a game of slap jack, listening to Sango and Linda obviously argue over things they weren't supposed to be.
Kagome grinned a little and suppressed a laugh. Linda was such a twit. She was a natural blonde, and got tired of people making fun of her absent-mindedness by blonde jokes. Kagome and Sango had casually done so on a few occasions when Linda was being especially Linda; more so than usual. So she dyed her hair brown, hoping people would take her more seriously, when all it did was make it worse. She had changed her regular styled glasses and changed them to black rimmed emo glasses. She changed her nice fitting jeans with usually some kind of flower pattern on them to jean skits, with some kind of leg warmers under them with slipper shoes, or tight jeans with wholes everywhere. Her shirt once usually consisted of a cotton sweater of some sort with a gentle color, but was now low-cut tees and cleavage that was hand made. Linda's problem, in Kagome's opinion, was that Linda was way too loud. She was one of those people who dressed quiet and laid back, but was actually loud and obnoxious most of the time. Most of the stuff out of mouth was something about what some other person had on, or useless gossiping, or some other stuff.
Kagome honestly had no clue why they hired her; probably they were throwing everything on Kagome and Sango to be the hosts and needed back up if one of them couldn't come. But still, she was a major pain in the ass, and a bitch on top of that. Even if Linda was just a sub and did Wednesday thing on the show but, she still had a code name. They had named her Giggly. Kagome sighed and placed down a card, then slapped it, gathering the deck. Shippo scowled.
"I think those bands are lame." Linda's whiney voice said, as Kagome imagined her flipping her hair around. "They are totally weak. They're lyrics are repetitive." Kagome heard Sango growl and slam her hand down apparently tired of Linda's bull shit that had been going on for the last ten minutes.
"Giggly! What in the hell would you know about it? You don't even listen to them, nevertheless analyze it! And for your information, the lyrics are not repetitive. The song you just heard, yes all my faithful listeners, she just now heard the song on my Ipod, was called the 'Repetitive Song' for a reason. It's supposed to be funny. Funny; can you grasp that concept, Giggly, can you?" As Sango finished, Kagome could just imagine the look on her face as she slammed back into her chair.
"Well, I didn't think that was very funny…" Linda muttered. Sango groaned.
"Ok guys, I'm opening the lines. Please, feel free to comment…honestly, on anything." Sango said exasperated. The phone rang as Sango rejoiced. "Yes! First caller, please speak your mind." Sango said exasperated.
"Hey, I'm Casper," a deeper voice said, obviously male as he shifted on the phone. "I want to know where the hell Black Rose is. Midnight Fighter, you're great, as always but honestly, this Giggly person has got to go. She's good for Wednesday night stuff that she usually does, but regular radio host is a no go." He said, obviously not pleased.
"Yes, Casper," Sango said slyly, "I know exactly what you mean. Giggly, do you have anything to add?"
"Well, Casper, you just can't recognize true radio genius, that's all."
"Shut the fuck up and get off the radio."
"Ah, no cussing on the radio, how many times must I say it?" Kagome burst out laughing, throwing Shippo off guard as he threw some popcorn at her and continued their game. Kagome looked suspiciously at the phone, and picked it up, dialing the number.
At the Radio Station, Sango was more than halfway to getting ready to pull out her hair. My goodness this girl was annoying! Sango tapped her fingers on the table in an irritable rhythm, trying to vent her anger before she strangled Linda. "Ok Guys, any other callers?" she asked exasperated, rubbing her head to relieve her sudden migraine. She pressed a button as the phone rang. "Go ahead."
"Hello my good friend, how's things on the other side of the phone?" Kagome asked, a smile tugging at her lips. Sango gasped.
"Oh my God, Black Rose! Have you come to save me?" She asked desperately. Linda, practically feeling the other girls dislike of her, scoffed and crossed her arms on the table, rolling her eyes.
"Save you? Oh please. It's not like you're the one suffering here. The least she could do is take me away from you. I don't know how she does it everyday, sitting here with you till eleven o clock." Linda said lazily, looking at her fingernails. Sango turned quickly to her, a growl emitting from low in her throat. She heard Kagome laugh.
"Now Giggly, with a name like that I wouldn't be insulting her. Plus, Giggly, your job is hanging by our word," Linda grumbled, "So be nice. I'll let you all go, so don't go killing each other till I get over my…um…" Kagome trailed off as Sango hit her forehead.
"Black Rose, don't you remember about that…that…stomach thing where you have to barf for a whole night? Now don't you think it's time to go barf up some bile?" Sango asked, pretty much pleading Kagome to hang up the phone before people got suspicious. Kagome coughed as Sango resisted the urge to hit her head.
"Oh that's right…" She groaned "I got to go guys, good luck!" She said as she abruptly hung up the phone. Sango sighed as Linda looked over at her, eyebrow raised.
"What was that about? Is there something you're not telling us Midnight Fighter?" She said, sneering her name. Her lips were mere inches from the microphone, her eyes poised on Sango. Sango stiffened briefly than relaxed.
"Course not," She said, avoiding eye contact. "Black Rose is at home sick right now and should be back tomorrow. It's nothing serious. It happens kind of often." She said quickly. Linda still wasn't convinced.
"Oh really, Midnight, is that so? If I'm correct, Black Rose is only gone once every month. She's usually always here, sick or not. So why should a little cold stop her when she obviously comes in every other time?" Sango felt Linda loving the so undeniable urge to interrogate her. Sango glared at the desk as she felt Linda shift closer to her, eyes pinning her to the spot, and an annoying smirk plastered on her face. Sango growled irritably.
"Well, it's kind of big. She doesn't want anyone to catch it…" Sango trailed off, searching desperately for some ideas or come backs to combat Linda's unrelenting questions.
"But you just said it wasn't anything serious." She pointed out. Damn- Trapped once again. Sango closed her eyes as she willed the phone to ring, and as if the gods ordered it, it did. Sango let out her breath as Linda growled and put her hand over the microphone and glared at Sango. "This isn't over Sango; I'm going to find out your dirty little secret." She hissed as Sango held a snarl of her own.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," She muttered, turning back to the mike, clearing her throat, "Caller, you're up. What's up?" she asked, shifting almost uncomfortably in her chair.
"Hey Midnight, it's Inu, along with the Monk." He said. Sango noticed the voice but replied anyway.
"Hey Inu, how are ya?" She asked, shuffling through some papers.
"I'm fine. But since I know you guys... well I know Black Rose does, but I'm not so sure how Giggly is…But anyway, I have this…relationship…issue I have problems with, think you could help me out?" He asked timidly, as a mischievous smirk came over Sango, and washed away the Linda problems temporarily. She loved these kinds of questions, they really made her day. Not only the fact of helping people out made her feel better, but it was also the sheer fun of hearing the positions people get themselves into. Sometimes, she had to admit, it was a chore untangling weird love triangles and things, but it was fun. She laughed a little, the tight knot in her stomach loosening.
"Ah yes, I would be happy to oblige. Please, tell me of your problems." She said slyly, entangling her fingers on the desk in front of her.
"Well, there's this girl, and she just transferred to my high school. Actually, there're two girls."
"You like two girls, that won't end well." She said, bored already.
"No, no, there's a girl I like, and a girl Monk likes. But anyway, they just transferred here and I'm telling you midnight, this girl is gorgeous. Like drop down, pass out, wake up again and die; gorgeous. It's kind of funny because I saw her drop out of an air vent yesterday." He said dreamily as Sango coughed violently. Air…vent? Oh god, could this be Inuyasha? There was apparently a handing off of the phone. "Yea, he forgot to mention the other girl, she's also very pretty. It's just she's human. Inu prefers part demon girls." He laughed as Sango coughed more and someone fetched her some water and she took a huge gulp. "He also forgot to mention that him and her sang together with the bitch from hell." Sango was about to remind them of language, but thankfully, Linda stepped in.
"Hey, watch the language. We can kick you off for that." She reminded. As Sango took a deep breath and the phone was exchanged.
"So anyway, they're both pretty and I was wondering how to…like…let her know I like her without grabbing her ass like some people I know." Sango spewed out her water like a geyser and gave a signal to Linda to continue as she took off the earphones and went to the bathroom. From the bathroom, she heard the conversation.
"Well," Linda asked, "have you made any advances toward them?" She asked. "You know, letting them know you're at least kind of interested."
"Yea, we gave them a ride home today, and picked up their…" he grumbled, "kid." At that, Sango's eyes widened as her jaw hit the floor and as soon as she knew it, she was pacing around the bathroom, murmuring to herself. That was Inuyasha and Miroku! It was Sango's fears realized. They were talking about them, she knew it, and it had to be. She took a deep breath; spread some cold water over her face to hopefully relieve some of the paleness. She took a deep breath once again, and exited the bathroom, and seated herself in the chair.
"Ok, I'm back." She said, clearing her throat. "You said 'kid'. Do they have a kid?"
"Well, yes and no. They do have one living with them, but it's not theirs. It's like an orphan they found on the street and decided to take home thing." He said rather calmly as Sango sighed, yea, it was them.
"That's good. Tip: do not date a girl who already has a kid." She said. Who said she couldn't hope it was some other girls, and they were just regular guys who were not Miroku and Inuyasha? Sango sighed silently to herself. She hated it when she did this to herself. Try to convince herself it wasn't what she thought it was but was only deepening her beliefs in the situation by being too distinct in trying to disbelieve it.
"Well, what should we do?" Miroku asked as Sango processed the information.
"You should just talk to them more, get to know them, tell your friend to stop grabbing people's asses, and I think you'll be good. Is there any other guy that has interests in the two lucky ladies? Call us later to see how it goes, alright? Don't get too exited, it's only been two days." She said, pushing her fears to the back of her mind. One of the guys growled.
"Well, there's this guy…He's a huge pain in the ass. It was so weird. She almost killed him today, literally. Somehow, I don't think I'll have to worry about him too much." One answered. Sango smacked her head as the other said something.
"…How did you know it's been two days? We didn't tell you that." He said, kind of suspiciously. Sango sucked in her breath quickly as she cursed. She decided to go with what best fitted.
"I guessed." She said calmly, not reflecting the war going on inside her. "Try to get the other guy off their trail. But I think wolves mate for life…" Sango said quietly. An eerie silence answered her. She cursed.
"You're guesses are very instresting. I still don't understand how you guessed so accuatly." Monk said.
"Thanks Midnight and Giggly, I hope Black Rose gets better." Inuyasha said as the hung up. Sango let out a breath she didn't know she held. At least that was over with. Note to self: Be more discrete when talking with them tomorrow and expect them telling her of this. She made another mental note to herself: Discuss recent happenings with Kagome and how to cope on and off the radio. Why did life have to be so damn complicated?
"Hey Midnight, are you done daydreaming? We have another caller." She pressed a button. "Caller you're up, and speak your mind." She said, looking unexcitedly at her nails.
"Hey guys, it's Rand-O speaking with a problem." The caller, identified as Rand-O said. Sango perked up. At least she didn't know this one.
"What kind of problem?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, so last night I was screwing my girlfriend and instead of screaming my name she was screaming her ex boyfriend's name. And she told me she didn't screw him. So Midnight, what do I do?" Rand-O asked. Sango exchanged glances with Giggly.
"Dude, you are in one sticky situation." She laughed a bit. "Giggly, I'm sure you're more suited to answer this question than me, so please, do so." Sango said, putting her hands up. Giggly smiled.
"As a matter of fact, I do." She didn't even realize the insult. "So Rand-O, is this girl just a toy or someone you really like?"
"Eh, I'm not really sure." He answered, as Linda sighed.
"I think we need Jim in here. Oh Jim," Sango called as Jim walked in. "Jim, we have a sticky situation here. Rand-O here was screwing his girlfriend and was she screaming another guy's name, a guy she told him she didn't screw. What should he do, from a man's perspective?" Sango asked as Jim put a thoughtful finger to his chin, thinking about it.
"Hm...Rand-O, is she hot?" He asked.
"Hell yea dude, you should see this chick!"
"Is she smart?"
"Not in the least."
"Here's my prescription: use her a couple more times, then the last time, scream out some other girl's name. Any girl- it doesn't even have to be one you screwed. Just scream it out loud and proud. Then, yell 'See what it feels like?!' and kick her out on the street." He said matter-of-factly as Sango and Linda stared at him. Sango opened her mouth as to speak but Rand-O beat her too it.
"Dude, that's a great idea! Thanks Jim!" he said and hung up. Sango and Linda sweat dropped at the call and sighed.
"I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this needs a song. What do you think Giggly?" Sango asked, exasperated as she flipped through some music.
"I like that idea." She answered. "What do you have in mind?"
"Hm, I'm thinking Town Called Hypocrisy by Lost Prophets, or Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic at the Disco." She said, smiling to herself. Linda pondered this.
"Panic at the Disco it is!" she said as Sango played the song and they sighed. "Is this what you guys have to go through every night?" She asked, whirling around in the chair, her brown hair floating lightly behind her. Sango nodded grimly, running a hand over her face.
"Yep; I swear sometimes we don't get paid enough for this." She said, sighing as she indulged herself in a bag of Puff Cheetos, then licked the cheesy goodness off her fingers and repeated the process until they were back on.
"Remember our lovely listeners, Rock Out Night is sponsored by our friends down at The Hot Spot, club and restaurant so please go down and pay them a visit if you love our show. Also, there are jobs open there if you're looking for work; best part is you get to listen to our show while working. Our number is 555-0892 if you wish to bring up a topic but for now, since I'm devoid of topics and tired as hell, Midnight here is going to explain what's going to happen." Linda said groggily, throwing her head down into her arms.
"Lucky for all you out there going home or at home listening, we have a fifteen minute rock block so stay tuned, we'll be back with vengeance at Rock Out Night 111.1." She said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster as she turned on the shuffler. Sango looked at the clock. Damn, half an hour till she can leave and go home. Now, Sango really looked at considering a break. A break sounded really nice. She stood up lazily, stretching out her back as she took a stroll down the hallways, needing to get off her ass and stretch out her strangely knotted up legs.
Walking, she pondered on the thought of Inuyasha and Miroku. The proof was all there, it was them, and it was Sango and Kagome they were talking about, unless it was some other guy with a friend as outrageous as Miroku. Sango knew that there was a rather large chance that it wasn't them, but also there was a sign that it was. Now that she thought about it, the voices sounded exactly like Miroku and Inuyasha, whether she wanted to admit it or not. She was deeply lost in thought, and didn't notice strong arms wrap around her waist as a chin nuzzled the top of her head. She sucked in her breath as she automatically elbowed the figure in the gut and whirled around on one foot, making a 180 degree circle and delivered a powerful blow to the side of him, as he was shoved into the wall and crumbled to the floor. She stood on one foot, glaring down at the figure, her foot poised for an attack. She immediately put her foot down and rushed to the side of tall, heavily muscled tawny haired boy with dazed green eyes. "Jason! Oh my God, are you ok?" She yelled, lifting up his shirt to look at the large red spot, on his side, a bruise in the making. "Damn it, didn't I tell you not to do that? Remember the last time?" She asked, flinging his shirt down and falling back on her butt. She distantly remembered the whole in the wall Jason's body had caused.
"Damn Sango, that kick of yours gets better and better every time." The cutely pained voice said as he sat up, rubbing his side tenderly. "I suppose living with Kagome makes you pretty strong, huh?" he asked, flashing a smile at her. She smiled and rolled her eyes, hugging him.
"Jason-how many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that? Or at least announce your presence so I don't end up killing you, ok? How's your stomach? I elbowed you pretty hard." She asked as he lifted up his shirt to reveal a lovely toned 6-pack with a circular ring somewhere around the second pair. She shook her head and poked it as he yelped. "Yep, that's going to be a bruise." She said with a grin, almost proud of her handiwork. She stood up as she gingerly helped the man to his feet, as he swept his tawny hair away from his brilliant green eyes to smile down at Sango.
"Yea well, I'll get you one day my pretty." He said as they laughed and he opened his arms. Sango held up a finger and turned, walking several steps away before running up and jumping into his arms as he twirled her around, laughing deeply. He stopped and tossed her in the air, as she landed in the bridal carry in his arms. "So, what were you thinking about?" He asked. "You were pretty lost in thought there. I could've raped you if I wanted to; you were that deep in thought." He said nodding. She hit the hard wall of his chest as he smiled down at her.
"Yea right, you couldn't even if you wanted to."
"Who said I didn't want to?" she looked at him as she laughed at pushed at his chest.
"Put me down you over grown he-man. I need to maintain a reputation here and you're not helping by carrying me around." She said, laughing as he put her down.
"So what were you thinking about? You know Nathan misses Kaggy. Where'd she go?" He asked.
"What I was thinking about has nothing to do with you and she's at home, sick." She said. Jason was the typical hottie every girl wanted, everyone but her. Jason was just a really good friend of hers who just happened to be interested in her. His brother, Nathan, was like that with Kagome, and they were continually assaulted by the two handsome terrors on a regular basis. She had to admit, they were both extremely handsome, Jason with his long tawny hair, broad shoulders, defined muscles and forest green eyes. Nathan had a darker look with the same figure as his brother, both tall and muscle defined, except with long black hair and cobalt blue eyes. Jason worked with the producers, editing and re editing, making sure to block out things and Nathan worked in the sound, making sure all the microphones worked and the equipment was working well. Both brothers were extremely talented and strong, but not strong enough to compete with Sango and Kagome. They were both human with strong spiritual abilities.
"Hm, knowing Nathan he'll want to drop by after work on our way home to see how she is." Sango stiffened.
"Oh no, that would be bad. She's in bad shape she wouldn't want Nathan seeing her like that." She said quickly, wiping some hair from her face. Looking up at the clock on the wall she gasped. "Shit! We're back on the air and I'm not there!" She yelled.
"No need to worry Sango my dear, Jason express is on the way." He said as he scooped her up and quickly ran to the station, as she kissed his cheek and sat down in her chair, to see Linda struggling.
"Ok, guys, no need to worry, Midnight's back. What's going on Giggly?"
"I have no clue what's going on next." She said helplessly, shoving all the papers away from the desk and put her head down on the table as Sango stiffened a laugh.
"Well, we have ticket drawings. I know, I know, ticket drawings at 10:30? Yes, well that's just how we roll down here. So, be the 50th caller and win three free tickets to the Devil Crew Concert, one for you and two friends. Yes, tickets are still available, the show is almost sold out so hurry up and get to calling. The lines are open. Remember guys, you want these tickets because Chocoholics Anonymous, Hardcore Dogs, Whoop Ass 17- or if you prefer The Darkest Hour, 10 Fathoms Down, Unsinkable, Lifeline, and Buckling Down will be there, along with a large selection of other bands. Monk won them yesterday, so hurry up and get to calling." Sango said as Linda looked through the ipod.
"And to occupy the time, we'll play…Down With The Sickness by Disturbed. Hurry up." Linda said as she put it on as they waited. Jason came lingering in the room, Nathan also strolled in closely behind, both taking a seat beside the exhausted Sango. She looked at them both as she threw her head back and groaned slightly.
"Aren't you two supposed to be working?" she asked, as she threw her hands up and rested them behind her head. Linda crossed her arms in jealousy beside her, hating how Kagome and Sango got all the attention and she got nothing but orders. What did they have that she didn't?
"I'm the sound guy; just checking if everything's going good." Nathan said leaning back, his cool deep voice seemingly cooling off the room, making Sango feel like a bucket of ice water had been dropped on her head. "I don't know what Jason's doing though."
"Liar," Sango breathed as she shifted her gaze to Jason. "What's your excuse?"
"I'm bored as hell and I figured I could do more use in here than anywhere else." Jason said, rather coolly, also leaning back.
"Yea right, you're just in here to flirt with Sango and you know it." Nathan said chuckling at how his brother stiffened.
"Well, if Kagome was here you would be flirting with her." Jason countered poorly as his brother shrugged.
"I don't deny it. But since she's not here, it really doesn't matter." He said, smirking as Jason glared at him and Sango sighed.
"You both need girlfriends." She said shaking her head, smiling. Jason nudged her.
"Are you applying for the job?" He flashed a flirtatious smirk at her, his white teeth glowing.
"No, you idiot, I'm not. I'm here to do my job. Not pamper you two." She sighed loudly, as the song went off. "Giggly, please tell me we have someone." She said, running a hand through her hair again.
"As a matter of fact, we do. Hey, you're on the air."
"Hey guys, this is Mirah. Did I win anything?" A female voice asked.
"Hey, Mirah, this is Midnight and Giggly and we have a surprise for you! You are the 50th caller and have just won three tickets to the Devil's Crew Concert. Congratulations!" Sango said, smiling at the excited scream coming from the phone.
"Holy shit, are you serious? That is freaking awesome! Yes! Thank you so much!" She yelled, as Sango could hear her jumping around.
"Yep, I'm totally serious. Tell me who hooked you up and hang on and we'll get you those tickets, ok?" Sango smiled as Jason wrapped an arm around her, sensing her tiredness.
"Rock Out Night: Break Loose 111.1 hooked me up! I love you guys!" she screamed as Sango put her on line 2.
"Well then, I believe that's all we have for tonight. This is Giggly," Linda said, glancing at Sango.
"And this is Midnight Fighter, saying goodnight, drive safe, and sleep well. We'll see you tomorrow." Sango said.
"Rock Out Night, out!" Giggly said as she finished telling Mirah of the tickets. "God, I am going home and going to sleep I am exhausted!" She said as she got up, and stretched.
"Yea, me too, thanks for filling in for Kagome tonight. I'm sure she was listening." She said as she stood up, Jason's arm falling off of her as she grabbed her coat and the two boys stood up also. She turned and walked out of the studio, grabbing her skateboard as she did so. She said a quick good-bye to everyone as she walked outside, still not aware of the two boys following her. She turned around and faced them when she got outside. "Yes, you want something?" She asked, rather irritably as she glared at them. Jason flashed a wan smile.
"You need a ride?" He brought out his keys and pressed the unlock button as a nearby truck responded. She sighed.
"You know I can't say no to a ride." She said, as Jason grabbed her arm and led her to the truck. Jason and Nathan weren't boys who needed the money like Kagome and Sango did. They had as much money as they could ever want, and working at the station was just a way for them not to be at home and be bored. It was a matter of entertainment for them, not as much as necessity.
"Exactly," He said as he opened the door for her as she got in the passenger seat. Leaning back in the chair, she closed her eyes as she waited the car to stop at her apartment complex.

And it's done. I hope you liked that, I certainly enjoyed myself. So, um, I really don't have much to say here, but I was going to tell you that from November to February I was/am in wrestling and I kind of spend my time doing that. (PS: I might be going to girl's state. yay! ) And when I'm not, I'm suffering from injuries from that, doing Tae Kwon Do, homework, or more importantly, sleeping; which I haven't gotten much of lately. On top of that, I'm having personal issues…again. Lovely, huh?
Well I hoped you enjoyed it, here's my replies to you my faithful reviewers. Oh, this is one half of it, the other half I had to put in anther chapter because the thingy wouldn't LOAD! Anyway, enjoy!
Angel: well hey! Here it is, I know it's long, I was thinking about reducing it but I'm not sure were the break off point would be. You'll see when and if I do it. Thank you!
-Inuasha Aiko Taishio-: well I'm working on it, have patience. I'm glad you liked it and please review again.
Haunter-2006: well, your right, they are cool, but they are still antagonists. I can have them break off and form and evil cult if you like, I can do that. I would be more than happy to do that. Thanks Inger and I'll see you around soon, I hope! Thanks so much for the review.
Punk Rock Miko 2: Yes, that's what I thought. I figured the 4th chapter was too soon to do someone in. but it's never too early to give someone a strong warning! Thank you!
Young kagome: Wow, great, I'll check that out later, k? Thank you so much and I'm glad you liked it.
So that was it, and no I'm not complaining, but it's always nice to have large stacks of reviews waiting for you to read and love. But I suppose in order to do that I would have to update more, and I suppose I don't do that. I'll have to change that. Thanks and I hope to see all of ye that reviewed again and possibly some new ones.
