Chapter Three: Jagged Little Pill

Sango shifted her bag onto her shoulder and walked down the hall by herself. She looked at people as she walked past them hoping that she wouldn't see a dirty glance. But they just kept walking, not acknowledging her existance. Sango gripped her book in her hands tensely as she went to 6th period. She would get to see Kagome soon and not be so scared. Sango went into the girls' bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. The bruise on her neck was still visible. Sango tried to cover it up self consciously but it was no use. Another girl walked up next to her and saw her neck. She gave her a strange look and then walked out. Sango sighed. There it was, the age old look. Sango walked out of the bathroom and turned a corner. She went into her class and sat down in the back. Kagome walked in a few minutes later with a boy who had silver hair.

"Hey Sango," Kagome greeted.

"Hi."

"How's your day been?" Kagome asked.

"Um...its been alright," Sango replied.

"Well I'd like you to meet Inuyasha," Kagome said.

"Hey," He said sounding a bit bored.

"Yeah. Hi."

"Where's Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know, he's probably gonna be late. As usual."

"He's not always late, usually that's your fault he's late."

"Shut up that's not true!"

"Whatever Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled.

"Who's Miroku?" Sango asked.

"Oh you'll like him, he's very nice and a real gentlemen. But very good with the ladies."

"He's had a lot of girlfriend's then?"

"A few, maybe two. But he's always being asked out. Here comes Bright Eyes now."

Sango looked up to see a boy with short black hair walk in. Half the girl's watched as he took his seat next to Inuyasha. He smiled politely as a girl turned to wave at him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and looked away annoyed. Kagome nudged him lightly and gave him a warning look. Just as he was about to say something, the teacher walked in. He silenced the class and then began with a lesson. Sango took out a notebook and began taking notes. She rested her head on the palm of her hand as she continued to write. Miroku glanced back at her for a second before focusing on the teacher yet again. After class, Sango walked out feeling a little distracted. Next was study hall for her, a chance to relax. She went to her locker to put her books away and then went to the designated room for her free period. She sat down by herself and laid her bag on her desk. A few minutes later, the boy named Miroku walked in. He saw her staring out the window daydreaming and walked over to her. The other girl's sitting in there, watched jealously. Sango looked up at him as he sat next to her.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," Sango said while writing.

"Your new here right?"

"Yes, trying to catch up with the work."

"Don't worry, its simple. I'm Miroku, by the way."

"Nice to meet you," she said.

"And your...Sango?"

"Yeah," she said.

"Kagome mentioned that you were going to live with her from now on."

"Yes thats true, just until I can manage to find my own place I suppose."

"Well you picked the right family. The Higurashi's are very nice people."

"Yes they are," Sango said.

"I'm afraid I'll have to cut our conversation short but hopefully we can continue it some other time."

"Sure," Sango said.

"Well have a good day Lady Sango," Miroku said before departing.

Sango couldn't help noticing the charming smile he wore. She looked up to see a couple of girl's staring at her rudely. Sango frowned and ignored them while finishing up her homework. Thirty minutes later she walked out of the classroom and could see the girl's still staring at her. Sango shrugged it off and headed for the exit. Finally school was over and she couldn't wait to go lay down to nap. She was glad to have finished her homework for once. Usually the sound of slurred words, angry fists and beer bottles being broken distracted her. She couldn't wait to go and actually have time for herself. Sango waited for Kagome and then walked home with her. Perhaps she could finish up 10th grade with good grades and then graduate from highschool. Maybe even go to college, something she hadn't really considered where she used to live.

okay i would appreciate a few reviews please!
