Chapter Four: The Lovecats

"So what do you think of Miroku hm?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know," Sango said.

"Well he knows what he thinks of you."

"Is that so? We haven't even really talked."

"Don't worry, you will. He'll probably ask you out on a date."

"Does he usually ask girl's out on dates?"

"You mean when he isn't dating them?"

"Yeah," Sango said.

"No. He's not that type really but Inuyasha told me he talked to Miroku talked to him last night and says he's into you."

"We'll see what happens."

Sango walked outside with Kagome as they headed to school. She still wasn't used to wearing a uniform but she didn't mind it too much. She also wasn't used to having a boy interested with her. That was new and different for her. How would she react if he did ask her out? Yes? No? Maybe? But she believed it when Kagome said he was popular with girl's. She had been a firsthand witness to that when she was in study hall and when she had seen him for the first time in 6th period. Sango looked up to see Inuyasha waiting with his hands in his pockets down the street. Kagome smiled and waved as they neared him. He began to go to school with them but Sango was a little distracted once more, still thinking about Miroku.

When they arrived at school, Kagome and Sango walked to homeroom together while Inuyasha went to another room. Sango took out a book from her locker and shut it before sitting down. She wondered what her father was doing right now. She felt nervous when she did think of him, pondering whether or not he'd come find her. She shouldn't be so worried, she didn't leave any hint of where she would be staying at anyway. At the time, she didn't even know where she'd be staying at. Ten minutes later the bell rang and homeroom was over. Sango got up and walked to 1st period with Kagome. Sango sat down just as Miroku walked in. Kagome nudged her and winked and turned away. Next, Miroku sat down in the desk behind Sango. She looked at Kagome and then down at her notebook in front of her. For some reason, her heart was starting to beat fast. Kagome glanced back at Miroku and nodded her head towards Sango. He shook his head hesitantly but she again nodded at her. Miroku shook his head and looked away. He stared at the wall for a few minutes and turned back to see Kagome still staring at him. He rolled his eyes and waved her off. She glared at him and crossed her arms. Miroku sighed defeated and ripped out a piece of paper when the teacher started talking. He wrote down something and carefully placed it next to Sango. She picked it up and read it.

Hey, I was wondering if I could ask you something?

Sango stared at the piece of paper unsurely and wrote down the notes on the board before going back to it. Should she write back? Maybe he was going to ask her out like Kagome had said. What should she do? Finally she decided to write back to him and tossed it on his desk.

Yeah sure, go ahead and ask...

Alright well maybe after school I could take you out to talk.

Sango stared at the paper wide eyed and then looked over at Kagome who had quickly looked away. Sango eyed her and tucked the paper under her notebook. She didn't know if she wanted to. Yes he seemed nice, but she wasn't sure what he was really like and if she could trust him or not. But Kagome had clearly involved herself in his question so maybe it wouldn't hurt to say yes. Sango tapped her pen and thought about it more for at least ten minutes. The teacher stepped out of class and students immediantly started to talk. Sango looked at Kagome yet again for reassurance. Kagome smiled at her with a particular gleam in her eyes. Sango sighed and scribbled something onto the paper before handing it back to Miroku as the teacher reentered.

When lunch rolled around, Sango hardly noticed. She sat down outside by herself and watched as a few students played basketball. She crossed her legs and leaned her head to the side while shutting her eyes briefly. When she opened them she saw a boy staring at her from a distance. She looked around to see if it was someone else he was looking at but no one was around. Sango looked back at him and he was still watching her. Sango changed her eye and watched nothing important. Then from the corner of her eye she saw him walking over to him. Sango stood up and started to walk back inside the school but heard someone call out. She pretended to not hear and continued but someone grabbed her arm. Sango wheeled around, offended that someone would put their hands on her and pushed his hand off her.

"Hey pretty lady, you new here?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm new," she said.

"I'm Bankotsu, and you are?"

"Not interested," she said walking away.

"Hey, I'm just trying to be nice. I'm sorry if I startled you. Now, please tell me your name?"

"...Sango."

"I'll remember that. See you later Sango," Bankotsu said before rushing back to his friends.

Sango waited until he was gone before walking back into the school. Bankotsu huh? He sounded a little too confident in himself. Sango ran her hand along the lockers as she headed for the cafateria. What was his deal anyway? Pretty lady? She pushed the door open to the lunch room and walked in. She spotted Kagome and walked over to her. Kagome was in conversation with Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Where'd you go off to Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Hm? Oh, no where. Just outside."

"Oh, okay then."

"By the way, do you know someone named Bankotsu?"

"Bankotsu? Why did he say something to you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah," Sango said.

"What was it?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing important," Sango said blushing.

"Well he's one of the cool kids, a jock. Most girl's are obsessed with him. Surprisingly more than Miroku."

"I don't mind, if it takes their attention off of me," Miroku replied.

"I'd say 95 of the girl's kiss the ground he walks on," Inuyasha said.

"Seems like a hotshot to me," Sango said.

"Yep. He is very picky with the girl's he likes and chooses to date."

"He talked to me a few minutes ago."

"What did he say?"

"He called me 'pretty lady'," Sango replied.

"Wow. Better watch your back Sango, survival of the fittest when it comes to that boy."

"Too bad. He's cute, just has a weird vibe to him," Sango said.

Miroku looked up from his book at her when she said that and then returned to it, that struck a nerve. Inuyasha chuckled amused and nudged Miroku who glared at him warningly. Inuyasha backed off and started to complain to Kagome about nothing important. Miroku couldn't help but be annoyed now. How could Sango consider a guy like Bankotsu? She was new, so maybe he could let it slide but normally he would make no exceptions to those that liked Bankotsu. He was a disgusting pig that had no respect for anyone but himself. How anyone liked him he didn't know. Everything about him was shady and unworthy.

Alright some more reviews please!
