Chapter Thirteen: Lovely Broken Hearts

"Do you have to go to work today?" Kagome asked.

"No I'm off for the whole Christmas break," Sango replied.

"Oh that's great. Are you getting paid?"

"Yep, the whole time."

"Also great. So what should we do today?"

"I don't know, what do you want to do?"

"Let's call the boy's over, mom's at work so we'll have the house to ourselves," Kagome cheerfully said.

Sango nodded and flopped onto the couch while listening to Kagome phone in on them both. She walked upstairs with the cordless phone and was making sure Sango couldn't hear. Sango gave her a suspicious look but didn't feel like getting up to go check out what she was doing. Instead, she turned on the t.v. and started flipping through the channels. Kagome came back down with a smiling face and sat down on the chair next to her.

"What'd they say?" Sango asked.

"They'll be over in a minute."

"Okay, I'm going to go change into something warm."

Kagome nodded and Sango went up to her room. She opened her drawer and changed into a grey short sleeve shirt with a black long sleeve shirt underneath, some jeans, and a oversized black sweater. She brushed her hair and tied it back into a ponytail before glancing out the window. She saw Inuyasha's car pulling up into the driving. That was fast. Sango looked herself over in the mirror and chuckled. She looked really relaxed. Sango walked back downstairs just in time to see the boys walk in. Sango said hey to both of them and went into the kitchen. She took out the popcorn and brought it to the front for everyone and went back in for the drinks. She sat them on the table and then disappeared in the back again. Inuyasha sat down on the couch and Miroku sat on it too. Kagome pushed him off and placed her finger in his face.

"When are you going to do it you coward!" Kagome demanded.

"When you leave me alone about it!"

"Just hurry up. Come on Sango the movies going to start!"

"Coming," Sango called back.

She hurried back in and sat down in one of the comfy chairs. She laid her legs over one side of the chair and then laid her head on the other side with a pillow. Kagome yawned and pretended to kick Miroku on accident. He wheeled around and glared at her but she had a oops expression. He sighed and shook his head before turning back around. Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome and kicked him too. Miroku again looked back but Inuyasha was looking at the television. Sango watched them weirdly and then turned her attention to the movie.

Near the end of the movie, Kagome dragged Inuyasha upstairs quickly. Miroku watched them disappear and shook his head. He sat down on the couch and sipped on his coke. Sango got up and went into the kitchen to get herself a Dr. Pepper. She took it out of the refridgerator and opened it. What was going on? She still couldn't seem to figure it out. Sango walked back into the living room and sat on the couch with her legs indian style. Miroku anxiously looked at her and then quickly at the t.v. when she saw him.

"Is something wrong?" Sango asked.

"Huh? Oh no,no," Miroku said.

"You look a little uneasy."

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Sango asked hesitantly.

"Well...um I'm going to see if Kagome and Inuyasha are gonna come watch the movie."

"Oh, alright."

Sango watched as he hurried upstairs and sighed. He seemed really nervous but she didn't know why he wouldn't tell her. Miroku found the two in Kagome's room talking and stood with his arms crossed. Kagome looked up at motioned him to go tell her. Miroku shook his head and told them to go back downstairs with him. The two argued until Inuyasha yelled at them and stood up. Both remained quiet while Inuyasha made them both sit and shut the door loudly.

Sango's attention was drawn to the sound and jumped startled a little. The movie ended with Sango still sitting downstairs by herself. She finally got up when realizing they weren't coming down and turned it off. She pulled on her shoes and walked outside. The cold air flushed her cheeks and snuck up her neck. She pulled her black sweater close to herself and walked to the curb. A breeze blew her hair to the side and bangs in her eyes. She loved winter. She had forgotten how much until the cold weather came. She looked back and could see Inuyasha standing at Kagome's window with his back to it. Sango walked back inside a few minutes later and headed up to Kagome's room. She was about to knock when she heard a conversation going on.

"Do it already!" Inuyasha yelled.

"No, I don't even know if she feels the same way."

"Miroku, you want to be her boyfriend, and I happen to know she likes you, what's the problem?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know, no real problem I guess."

"Is it because of your last girlfriend?"

"What? No, it has nothing to do with her," Miroku said.

"We all know that you were so in love with her and then she cheated on you with Bankotsu," Inuyasha replied.

"Shut up! I'm over it," Miroku mumbled.

"Are you? I think that's why you don't want to ask Sango out, because you think she might hurt you," Kagome said.

"Why are you two ganging up on me like that? Its not fair," Miroku said.

"Okay, don't ask her to be your girlfriend. It doesn't bother me," Inuyasha said.

Sango quickly walked into her room when the door swung open and Inuyasha went downstairs with his hands in his pockets. Kagome came out later quietly and followed behind with Miroku. She wasn't trying to necessarily push him into being with Sango but she knew that Miroku really did like her. He was just having problems with himself. He didn't know who to trust to be his. That's why he hadn't been with any girl's at school lately. That's why he would never go out with anyone of them. Miroku shut the door to Kagome's room silently and walked down the hall. He saw Kagome looking around with a confused expression on her face. She then hurried upstairs and opened the door to Sango's room to find her laying on her bed on her left side. Kagome shut the door behind her and sat next to her with a patient smile.

"Sango?" Kagome gently called.

"So...that was the big secret?" Sango asked close to a whisper.

"You heard?"

"...I heard."

"Well, yes. That was the secret, you could say."

"And I guess that's why he hates Bankotsu so much?"

"Yeah, but don't tell him you heard okay? He'll get emberassed or something."

"Fine. Well you all missed the ending, it was sad. But a little sucky now that I think about it..."

"Oh, well I'm glad I missed it then," Kagome chuckled.

"Yeah...I'm gonna go to the store right quick. Be right back," Sango quickly said.

She rushed out of the room and downstairs pass Miroku, avoiding eye contact. He turned as she left and walked out after her but she was running down the street.
