I'm so busy but that won't stop me! Thanks for all the reviews especially because I couldn't even find my own story for two days. Where did it go? I have no idea, but hey enough of the useless author's babble! On with the story. Oh I almost forgot, (I own nothing).
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&&^&*^&&&^&^^&&^**&^*^*&*^*&^&*&&^&^&^&^^&^^&*
It was almost as if seeing fish in the sky or pigs in the sky, or anything that didn't belong in the sky for that matter. It was impossible. In all actuality, it was real. Sango had switched the lights on and saw, or more correctly, interrupted Inuyasha and Kagome's make out session. The couple had simply stared at Sango who was still in Kuranosuke's arms.
"Whoa, what are you doing?!" Sango somewhat shouted
"What are you doing" Inuyasha answered. He was looking at Sango and Kuranosuke. In a quick scope of his eyes he saw that Sango's normally pulled up hair was down and she looked flushed.
"Not what you're thinking!" She said as she pointed to her bandaged ankle.
"Are you okay, what happened?" Kagome said
Kuranosuke walked into the apartment and carefully let Sango down.
"Long story short, I was in the park taking a walk at lunch when I slipped and there you have it I twisted my ankle, or sprained it whatever." She said
"Actually, It was my fault, you see I suggested the park." Kuranosuke broke in
"Oh, Kuranosuke I didn't even notice you were here." Kagome said
"I've been hearing that a lot." He replied
"So you are?" Inuyasha asked
"This is Takeda Kuranosuke, multi-millionaire and my boss." Sango said as she limped her way to a nearby chair.
"Oh let me help you" Kuranosuke said as he guided her
For a minute there was an awkward silence while everyone looked at each other. There was a millionaire, a nurse, a gym instructor and an injured reporter, who would have thought.
"I'd better go or I'll be late for my class." Inuyasha said while making a hasty exit. "Sango, hope you feel better, I'll call you tomorrow."
Kagome got up and walked to Inuyasha. "I'll see you right?" She asked as she gave him a quick kiss.
"Definitely" he responded as he shut the door.
Kuranosuke and Sango just stared at each other with blank expressions. As soon as Sango was sure Inuyasha was out of hearing range she was going to start asking questions.
"What the hell happened?!!" She wanted to avoid the sound of surprise but she couldn't help it. "You two hated each other with a passion, and the next thing you know your making out…with a passion!"
"Uh Sango, do you really wanna talk about this in front of Kuranosuke?"
"Kuranosuke doesn't care, do you? See he doesn't care." It was Sango's turn to prevent Kuranosuke from talking. And while all this happened he settled himself on the armrest of the sofa.
"Long story short" Kagome mocked, "He came by in the morning and we hung out. We got to talking and I found out he was a nice guy. I suggested we go out and after I got ready we just started…"
"Okay you can leave it at that." Sango stated
"So anyone hungry?" Kuranosuke interrupted "Dinners on me."
"Yeah sure." The two girls answered in unison.
*******************************
After some careful maneuvering Sango was able to change her clothes and get in her comfy pajamas. Kuranosuke and Kagome caught up on the latest events in each other's lives and the pizza was delivered.
"No need to break the bank Kuranosuke." Sango joked
"Hey she suggested pizza" He said as he pointed out Kagome.
The three continued laughing at each other. Various jokes about Sango's ankle injury were made as well as jokes about Kagome's provocative predicament with Inuyasha. Kagome eventually had turned in for the night leaving Kuranosuke and Sango alone.
"Hey, thanks Kuranosuke." Sango said
"For what?"
"For the pizza." Kuranosuke was quiet after Sango said this.
"Huh?"
"Just kidding, what I really mean is thank you for helping me."
"I could have just left you there you know, but then who would be the new editor of my magazine?"
"What? Magazine? Editor? Me? Kuranosuke did you just give me a promotion?" Sango was shocked, she was finally going to be an editor.
"Sango, you underestimate the great work you do…" Kuranosuke was interrupted by Sango's sudden embrace.
"Thank you so much." She whispered
"I'd better go. Good night Sango." He said
"Good night."

Miroku was startled by the sound of thunder, so much that it woke him up from his sleep. He turned and looked to his left to see the girl from the bar sleeping calmly. She obviously hadn't heard the rain. Miroku hated doing this, he always went out somewhere and hit on a girl, sometimes she would go home with him and sometime she would slap him. Ultimately whether or not he went home with anyone or not he was always alone, he always felt alone. He shut his eyes and tried to go to sleep.
When he woke up this time it was to his alarm. The girl to his left was still there sleeping, he was almost tempted to start slamming pans together to see if that had any effect. Of course there was no time for that he had to go to work. Damn. He got up and took a shower but when he got out she was gone.
'Good' he thought,' I hate the morning after, it's so awkward. How do you say get out of my apartment and I never want to see you again, and still sound like a nice guy?'
He got dressed and walked to the kitchen only to find the girl making coffee. She walked towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, how'd you sleep?" she asked
"Not as good as you I'm afraid." he said as he poured a cup for himself
"Sorry to hear that. I just wanted you to know that I had a great time and I would love it if we had dinner tonight." She said
This was the 'never want to see you' part of awkward morning after conversation.
"Actually, I have plans to see my grandma at the hospital tonight." He answered; he had used that one about 10 times so it was relatively new.
"Oh, but I thought you said you had no family in town." She inquired
'Damn, why would I say that?' he thought.
"Well you see, she is my only family and I didn't feel like letting a beautiful girl like you worry over my little problems." He answered
'That was good, I'll give myself five points for creativity', he thought.
"Oh Miroku you're so charming. I definitely won't settle for no, we'll have dinner tomorrow then?" She persisted
"Listen, I gotta go or I'll be late. My maid will be here in two hours and she doesn't like to clean while I have company, so you had better go by then."
This was the 'get out of my apartment' part of the awkward morning after conversation.
"Thanks for everything." He quickly grabbed his keys and finished coffee as he said all this, towards the 'Thanks for everything' part he was opening the door and by the time the girl had rushed after him to ask for his number he was long gone. He left her alone and somewhat bewildered, but she still wasn't going to settle for 'no'.

Miroku got to work 20 minutes early. Just in time to show the new guy around.
"So... you're the new guy," He said.
Inuyasha was still asleep; he didn't even remember how he got to work.
"Yup."
"What's your name?"
"Yup."
Miroku knew this was definitely a man a little words.
"Okay, so let me show you around Yup." He laughed nervously and still the new guy was expressionless.
It was around half of the tour that Inuyasha realized Miroku hadn't really told him anything about how things worked. He had only explained characteristics about the women who worked there.
"And that girl, don't even bother asking her out she..."
"Are you going to explain anything useful?" Inuyasha interrupted
"So your finally awake, Yup?"
"What did you call me?"
"I asked your name about ten minutes ago and all you said was 'Yup', so that's what I called you." Miroku explained
"Well my name is Inuyasha and if you don't mind I'd like to know how the cash register works."
"Sure." Miroku said, he was happy the new guy was awake now.
*********************************
Sango opened her eyes to find that Kagome had put a post it on her forehead. She peeled off the bright yellow paper, focused her vision and read: 'Hey San, went to take Inuyasha to work, will be back with groceries and movies. Till then sweet dreams!'
Sango tried to get up but found out that injuries hurt a lot worse the day after. She hopped her way to the bathroom and tried to wash off. After about 30 minutes she got out of the shower and put on another pair of pajamas. She heard Kagome open the door, but she was talking to someone. She recognized it was Kuranosuke.
"Hey, guys!" She yelled
"Hey, Sango hope you're in the mood for cereal!" Kagome shouted back across the apartment.
She and Kuranosuke walked into Sango's room to find her already showered and her bed already made.
"You never take a break do you?" Kuranosuke joked
"You weren't kidding about being there every step of my recovery." Sango joked back
"More like every limp." Kagome laughed.
"Very funny, next time your hurt I'll be sure to leave post it's all over you. So what's on the agenda? Corny horror movies, food and?"
"Well there's not much you can do besides relax and take it easy." Kagome said
"By the way Sango, I made sure to bring your laptop in case you wanted to get some work done."
"With a friend like you Kuranosuke, who needs a boss?" Sango teased
****************************************************************
"How is the first day going Inuyasha?" Miroku asked over the register.
"Fine, how long till were off?" He asked
"About 15 minutes, but hey whose counting?" Miroku answered
The day had gone by terribly slow. No one seemed to need groceries on a Monday afternoon, only housewives and they always had their bratty kids with them. Miroku seemed not to care, but Inuyasha was tired of standing all day and punching numbers and scanning items and bagging them. The good thing in all of this was that he and Miroku got to know each other and unlike his past getting to know one another conversations he found out that he and Miroku had one key thing different. Miroku was a lecher. He had hit on practically every woman who was in his isle. And to make things worse he would even hit on the stay at home moms, bratty kids and all. But besides that very weird and desperate difference they had a typical guy bond.
"Five, four, three, two, one. Alright time to go home." Inuyasha said
"You sound exited. What's waiting for you at home?" Miroku asked
"I promised the girls I'd be there after I…"
"Girls eh?"
"It's not what you thinking pervert, there my friends."
"Oh, for a minute there you were my new hero." Miroku joked
"Yeah well I'm only friends with one of them and the other I'm kinda seeing."
"Sure buddy, I'll see ya tomorrow."
Miroku walked out and couldn't help but wonder how a guy like Inuyasha could be friends with two girls. 'Oh well' he thought ' maybe he can introduce me to one.'

That is actually not the entire chapter but I guessed I should stop there or else it would go on forever. I'll have the second part, or maybe just another chapter, posted soon and then the story will actually get interesting! Please review and tell me what you think! Laters~
