Chapter 25: Only One Pt. 2

Sango walked outside patiently and tapped her foot. Miroku finally came out of the school and nodded his head toward his car. She smiled and followed him to it. The day had come to an end without any problems arising. She was relieved that she was able to be comfortable and have no uneasiness. Miroku had been worried about her. He himself was mostly grateful that he hadn't gone insane with his stress. Miroku drove her to his place, planning on preparing a meal for her. Now that she had gone through the first day back sucessfully, he knew she would be able to handle everyday after.

Miroku parked his car ten minutes later and made his way up to his apartment door. Sango went in after him and shut it after entering. She put her shoes to the side and sat on his couch with her bag. She tore out a book and opened it. Miroku saw her starting on her homework and watched. She bit her lower lip lightly and stared hard at the pages as she tried to figure out the words. Miroku smiled and went into the kitchen. He took out the necessary pots and started to start on the meal and then began. He was nervous about having her over again after some time. He knew he wouldn't feel tense about being around her. It was something else. Something he wasn't sure how to put into words. Maybe it was about getting close too soon. He didn't want to startle her with being too forward. If he hurt her, he'd be ashamed of why he had even invited her over in the first place.

Sango stayed on his couch for thirty minutes and then went over to the kitchen. She crossed her arms across her chest and gazed at him intently. They played quite a humorous game with their eyes. Each took their turn watching the other. They didn't even realized they were playing. Sango could smell the sweet fragrance of delicious food being made. She forced herself to pull away, wanting to be surprised. She put her book back into her bag and realized she had packed extra clothes. In case something had gone wrong that day. In case she saw Bankotsu. She cluthed her shirt tightly in her hand and pushed it deep into her bag. What if... what if she decided to spend the night? Would he be shocked? Would he say no? It was too early to suggest staying over. And even if she did, her intentions were good. She didn't have anything planned. She just wanted to spend more time with him.

Meanwhile, Kagome was back at her house. She was wearing a dark blue dress and silver hoops. She strapped on her heels and put on her make-up. It was Friday night and Inuyasha was taking her out. She picked up her small hand bag and went downstairs. She heard knocking on the front door and opened it. Inuyasha was standing there with black slacks and a long sleeve black shirt. He smiled and hugged her then gave her a kiss. He glanced down at her dress and smiled again. She blushed and went with him to his car after locking the door. Tonight would hopefully be a special night.

"You look beautiful," Inuyasha said.

"Thank you," she smiled. "So where is this place?"

"Its on the other side of Tokyo. You'll like it, the party is supposed to be really classy," Inuyasha said.

"So then how were you invited?" Kagome asked jokingly.

"Hey," he warned. "It was just this girl Kikyo that gave me the invite."

"Kikyo? She was Bankotsu's girlfriend right?"

"Yeah. I don't know what she wanted to invite me for."

Kagome looked at him and then gazed out the window. Kikyo was one known for her flirtacious behaviour and extravagent parties. She was like the queen bee. Kagome felt a little suspicious but she trusted Inuyasha and knew she didn't have to worry about him doing anything. If Kikyo did have a thing for Inuyasha, Kagome'd make sure she show her how close Inuyasha and her were. And Miroku was doing something for Sango that night too. Everyone would be enjoying themselves. She had noticed that Sango's day back had been really good. That had been the biggest relief for Kagome. Now things had gone back to normal.

When Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten to the party, she was in awe of how big the place was. It was like a nightclub with big headlights flashing at the front door. Inuyasha handed the bouncer the invitation and went in with Kagome. The lights were dimmed just right. Half the room had the dinner and the other half was where the dancefloor was. The place was already full of people as Inuyasha led Kagome to sit at a table with him.

"This place is... wow," Kagome said.

"Yeah it is," Inuyasha agreed.

"Hey, Inuyasha! You made it!"

Kagome turned to see Kikyo coming. Her dress was white and spilled out onto the floor. She smiled and hugged him tightly. He smiled politely and galnced over at Kagome quickly. Kikyo didn't seem to see her though as she stood with her back to her. Kikyo pulled her hair over her left shoulder and touched his hand. He moved away and cleared his throat. Kikyo giggled like he had just said something funny and tilted her head to the side.

"Uh, Kikyo, this is Kagome. My girlfriend," Inuyasha said.

"Oh, girlfriend huh? Well its nice to meet you, I guess."

Kagome glared up at her after receiving a dirty look. Inuyasha watched Kikyo leave and then took Kagome's hand in his. She stared at him and sighed heavily. All of a sudden she wasn't so sure she'd be having a good time that night. Kikyo's reputation proceeded her. Despite her wanting to leave, Kagome remained with Inuyasha. She wasn't about to let her fun be driven away. Inuyasha tightened his hold on her hand and observed the whole party scene. They ate and then went out to dance minutes later. The music blazed out and echoed around them in their ears. It pulsed deep into tem, swaying around all their worries. Kagome easily forgot of Kikyo. After an hour on the dance floor, another person brought worry back to her.

Hm, this chapter still on the short side but I didn't want to write too much. Well hope it was enjoyable, R&R! D
