Chapter Five: Bizzarre Love Triangle

"Its been three weeks since you've moved in. How do you like everything now?" Kagome asked.

"I like your house, its so...normal. And school...well its school right?" Sango said smiling.

"I love your honesty. Anyways, tonight you wanna come out with me?"

"Where to?"

"Kind of like a teenage club thing," Kagome said.

"I guess. Parties and stuff like that have never really been my thing."

"Trust me, you'll have fun."

Sango put dark pink eyeshadow on lightly and then some lipstick. It couldn't hurt to try and look nice. She pulled on a black ruffled skirt, a dark pink strapless top and black heels. She brushed her hair and tied it back before walking out of her room and down the hall to Kagome's room. Kagome was dressed in a red dress and some red heels with her hair down. Sango smiled at her and sat down on her bed while waiting as Kagome put on her make-up. When she was done she turned to Sango happily and walked out with her a couple of minutes later.

"Sango you look really pretty," Kagome said.

"Thanks, you too," Sango replied.

"Inuyasha should be here right now."

After she said that a honk was heard outside. Kagome and Sango said bye to Mrs. Higurashi and then walked outside. Sango got in the back while Kagome sat in the front with him. Next, they drove to another house. Sango looked at it curiously and then realized it was Miroku's. He was going too? Since that day when he had asked her out, he had been acting a little stand-offish with her. He got in on the other side of the car and nodded at her before turning to stare out the window. Sango watched him for a minute and then looked away. Why was he acting so strange? Was it because she had said she didn't want to go out on a date with him? Maybe he wasn't used to rejection or something. If that was the case then how hopeless was he?

About 25 minutes later, they arrived at the club. Sango got out of the car and walked in behind Kagome. The lights were dim and music was blazing. Sango was surprised at it but didn't mind. She had never been in a place like that before. She sat down with them at a table and looked around. This place was definately something she had never seen before. Sango laughed when Kagome dragged Inuyasha out to the dance floor. He groaned and complained but she still managed to force him out. Sango glanced over at Miroku but didn't say anything yet. After five minutes, Sango spoke up.

"You look nice," Sango said.

"Thanks. So do you. How's school been for you so far?" Miroku asked.

"Easy I suppose. Not anything too complicated yet."

"Just wait until exams roll around. You'll know pain then," Miroku joked.

"Heh, your probably right."

Sango and Miroku continued talking and joking with each other while Inuyasha and Kagome remained on the dancefloor, which happened to be a part of another one of Kagome's plans to get Miroku and Sango to have some alone time. But her plan was quickly shattered and broken when a boy named Bankotsu walked in with a few of his friends. His friend pushed him towards her and chuckled. Bankotsu brushed himself off and walked over to them. Miroku looked up and glared at him as he walked over to them. Bankotsu tapped on Sango's shoulder and smiled. Miroku rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Oh, Bankotsu," Sango said.

"Don't sound so disappointed," he said.

"Not disappointed," Sango replied awkwardly.

"Well how about a dance?" Bankotsu asked.

"Um...I don't know. I don't want to leave Miroku by himself," Sango said as an excuse.

"He won't mind, right Miroku? I mean you can choose any girl you want."

"So can you," Miroku said.

"Yeah, and I've made my chose. Now can I borrow her or what?"

"Go ahead I don't want her," Miroku said coldly.

Sango stared at him a little hurt and was then pulled away. She put her arms around Bankotsu's neck as a slow song came on. He lay his on her waist and then they began to dance. Sango stood miserably as she let her feet rock her with the beat. Gentleman hm? Hard to believe considering what he had just said. Was that jealousy or just anger? She couldn't find the difference right now. Kagome saw her with Bankotsu and looked shocked. Sango sighed and shook her head. Kagome's mission had failed. He didn't want her like Kagome had thought. Why had Sango believed it anyway? He hadn't showed any personal emotion towards her but now she knew how he felt. When the song was over, Sango began to walk away but Bankotsu again stopped her with a hold on her wrist. She looked back at him to see a dorky grin. She thanked him for the dance and walked outside. A few minutes later Kagome went out after her but she was already walking down the street.

"Sango! Where are you going?" Kagome asked.

"Home. I don't feel much like partying."

"Did Miroku say something?"

"If he doesn't care then I don't care. I'll take a bus. Later."

"Sango come on, he doesn't usually-"

"He didn't do anything, don't worry about it."

"Well at least let Inuyasha drive you back if you don't want to stay."

"Its okay. Bye Kagome," Sango said walking away.

Kagome watched as Sango walked down the street and sat on a bench at the bus stop. Kagome walked back into the club feeling angry and annoyed. She walked over to Miroku and slammed her hand down in front of him on the table. He jumped startled and then looked at her. Kagome glared at him and crossed her arms. Miroku leaned back in his chair and stared at her dead in the eye. He shrugged and looked away.

"Since when do you act like a jerk Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"What did you say to Sango to make her feel so bad that she left?"

"She left?" Miroku asked.

"Moron," Inuyasha mumbled. "All your confidence has finally gone to your head."

"What did you say to Sango?" Kagome demanded.

"I didn't do anything. I just said she could go dance with Bankotsu alright!"

"Why would you say that? Don't you like her?" Kagome asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore, she likes him."

"Says who? Your idiotic mind? If you would have asked her she would have told you she's not into him."

"And how do you know that huh?" Miroku asked.

"Why would she leave if she did like him?"

"She could have said she didn't want to dance with him, stop acting like its-"

"Your fault? It is," Inuyasha said. "You had a chance with her but you blew it."

"Yeah, I'd say so," Kagome replied. "Come on Inuyasha, take me home please."

Alright guys, some more reviews please!
