Sango waited in the car, the music blasted so loud that people who walked by were giving her strange looks. She glanced at the clock one more time sighing loudly and wondering where Inuyasha was. Tired of waiting she got out of the car, titled up her sunglasses looking around to see if he was walking somewhere. Just when she was about to get back into the car and drive off to do something else someone tapped her on the shoulder. Relieved she spun around expecting to see Inuyasha but instead she was looking into a pair of blue eyes. She was surprised to see Miroku, and after hanging out with him last night she had to admit he wasn’t so bad. When she first met him she assumed he was just looking for some ass. As she remembered that day when she asked him about football try-outs she smiled to herself.
“ Idiot.” she thought with a small grin
“ Hey!” he yelled over the music
“ Sup?” she yelled back sliding into the drivers seat but keeping the door open as she turned down the volume.
“ Not much really,” he said “ I like that song. I’ve never heard before though. What band was that?”
“ No way out.” she said getting back out of the car and closing the door “ The song’s called Trapped.”
“ Nice, I’ve never heard of them though.”
“ Yeah, well they’re not that famous yet.” she said leaning against the car
“ Too bad, the singer has some real talent.”
“ You think so?”she asked curiously
“ Oh yeah, mind if I borrow the CD?”
“ I guess,” she said reaching into the car and taking the cd out of the car stereo, putting it back in its case and handing it to him.
“ Thanks.”
“ No problem.”
“ What are you doing here anyway?” he asked curiously
“ Waiting for a friend. You?”
“ I was hanging out with Kagome but she ran into Ayame and now I don’t know where they’ve gone.”
“ Shopping?”
“ How’d you guess?”
“ I had a hunch.” she said with a small smile
Miroku looked down her and his breath almost caught, she was a vision. Miroku had always been know to be pretty forward with girls, to the point where he got slapped at least five to ten times a day, he was tempted to try that with Sango so many times and it was proving difficult to control himself. Today Sango had on a dark pink tank top with a black tie hanging around her neck, baggy black pants, with matching sneakers, and quite a few bracelets on each wrist. But the thing that he really wondered about was all the piercings she had.
“ How many piercings do you have anyway?”
“ Eight earrings, one nose ring, one belly ring, and one tongue ring. You do the math.” she said gazing up at the sky
“ Wow,” he said suddenly getting even more turned on
“ I also got three tattoos too, one on my lower back, one on my ankle and one that’s by my hip.”
“ Trying to make a statement?” he asked jokingly
“ Nah,” she said punching his arm “ I just wanted them, all original designed by Inuyasha.”
“ That’s cool.” he said a little surprised
“ Maybe, I’ll show them to you sometime.” she said laughing at the sight of the look that crossed his face. “ Chill, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“ No, it’s not that.” he said with a laugh “ You just have a nice smile is all.”
Sango titled down her shades giving him a look, she had a small hunch that perhaps Miroku liked her but she never doted on it. But by that lame line he just used she knew it had to be true, she always liked her men to be aggressive not that grab ass she knew Miroku liked to do to most girls.But guys who don’t beat around the bush. She preferred it if a guy liked her for them to just come up and just ask her out instead of waiting forever or having their friend do it. If it was one thing she couldn’t stand was a wuss and Miroku was a nice guy and all he just really wasn’t her type. Although, despite herself she had to admit that he was pretty cute in his own preppy rich boy sort of way. She gave him a huge grin suddenly getting an idea, if he really was tame in front of her then maybe she could mess with him.
“ You know what I can’t stand?” she said putting her shades back on
“ What?” he asked not sure of where this was suddenly coming from
“ Boys, who don’t go for what they want. I remembered this one guy who liked this friend of mine who was a lot like me and he was always leaving her love poems, complimenting her, leaving flowers in her locker, dropping hints, and which where nice gestures and all but in the end she never gave him the time of day because he never had the balls to just come up to her and ask her out.”
“ Really?” he asked pretending like he didn’t catch on “ I thought girls liked all that stuff.”
“ Some girls, but what she wanted was an aggressive guy.”
“ Aggressive like how exactly?” Miroku said turning to face her
“ You know, one who if he liked her would just ask her out without a second thought, one who isn’t afraid to show that he likes her, the kind of a guy who if they end up being together he won’t be afraid to slam her against her locker and kiss her just for no reason.” she said pausing “ Kind of like this.”
In one quick movement Sango pushed Mirkou back against the car with her hands one either side of him. Miroku blinked in surprise as she removed one hand and pushed her shades back on her head then placed it back then she moved her face closer to his, her lips moving closer to his and Miroku could feel his heart racing, he was completely frozen in total shock about what she was doing but at the same time he wished she was going to do more to him than just kiss him then to his dismay at the last second she changed her course moving her mouth by his ear.
“ Get it?” she whispered
“ Got it.” he said back almost automatically
Sango removed her arms, slipped her shades back on her face, and leaned back against the car, pretty satisfied with herself that she freaked him out but little did she know that that just made him want her that much more. Miroku was actually about to take her advice and just ask her out right there when they heard a familiar squeal from across the street.
“ Miroku, there you are!” Ayame said running across the road just as the cars cleared with Kagome running behind her. “ Sango! I didn’t expect to see you again until Monday. What are you doing here?”
“ Waiting for Inuyasha.”
“ Oh, Inuyasha is here?” Kagome asked before she could stop herself.
“ Yeah,” Sango said giving her a suspicious look “ I wish he’d hurry up.”
“ Hey, isn’t that him?” Ayame said looking behind Sango “ Who’s that woman with him?”
“ Inuyasha!” Jaylynn said practically chasing after him “ Stop right now or I’ll call your foster parents and tell them how you hurt your hand.”
“ You wouldn’t dare.” he said spinning around to face her
“ Try me.” she said folding her arms over her chest
“ Fine.” he said copying the motion “ What?”
“ You really need to be careful, it’s hard for people like us to control our anger sometimes.”
“ What do you mean people like us?” Inuyasha asked confused and annoyed
“ Haven’t you ever wondered why when you hurt yourself you can take pain better than most people?” she asked her voice dropping to a whisper “ Or when you get hurt you heal slightly faster than the doctor normally says? Or why you growl when your angry for that matter?”
“ No,” he said ready to leave “ Why would I wonder about that, it’s not a huge deal.”
“ It is a huge deal,” she said with a sigh “ You’ve heard all those legends from the feudal era in some history class or another right?”
“ Yeah, I remember we spent a lot of time on some legend about some jewel. Apparently, it was a major one back then.” he said recalling the history lesson
“ The Shikon no Tama.”
“ Yeah that.”
“ Yeah well,” she started “ Most of those legends aren’t really legends they’re based on actual fact.”
“ What? Are you high?” he asked now convinced she was insane “ You really expect me to believe that all that stuff about demons and magic priestesses are true?”
“ It is true,” she started “ Full blooded demons are wiped out now but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some people with demon blood.”
“ What the hell are you talking about?”
“ You have demon blood in you and so does Sesshomaru. That’s why his hair is silver, both of his parents where descended from one demon or another where with you it was just your father. Demon blood although extremely subdued can be dangerous, no matter how many generations go by every person in that family will always have that blood no matter how little it may be. There are actually a lot more people with demon blood than you realize, with them and us it’s dormant. Sort of like a volcano, there’s not enough to control your senses but if you get worked up enough it’ll take over and you might not be able to control your actions. Sesshomaru has to be extra careful since both of his parents carried that particular gene.”
“ If this is some kind of joke, it not funny.” he said not really wanting to believe a word she said.
“ Why would I joke about something like this?”
“ But Sango can take pain just as well if not better than I can.”
“ Sango’s descended from demon slayers although human they’ve always had a high pain tolerance.”
“ And how do you know that? I thought you barely knew her name?”
“ I don’t want you to think I’m checking up on you and your friends. Although, that Ayame girl you hang around with is also descended from demons, that Miroku kid his ancestors were monks, I think he actually still tries to practice it as well as that other girl Kagome who’s ancestors were mostly priestesses.”
“ Have you been spying on me?” he asked pissed off
“ Not spying,” she said “ keeping tabs if anything.”
“ Right?” he answered rolling his eyes
“ But I’m serious,” she said staring at him “ Be careful, if I find out your doing anymore stupid things I will get involved.”
“ How come my parents never told me about any of this?”
“ They wanted to tell you when you were older they didn’t think you could handle it being as young as you were. I should’ve took the responsibility to tell you myself long ago since Sesshomaru didn’t step up and do it and for that I apologize.”
“ Can I go now? “ he asked quietly
“ Look, I know all of this is a lot to take in so feel free to call if you need to talk, okay?”
“ Yeah fine,” he said even more annoyed “ Can I go now?”
“ Yes Yes, but first give big sister a hug.” she said opening her arms
“ You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“ No, I’m not,” she began “ You’re going to hurt my feelings if you don’t plus I’m sure your foster parents would love to know about that broken mirror.”
Sighing in defeat he wrapped his arms around her as she did the same for him. Jaylynn gave him a good long hug and when she finally let go she looked at him and sighed.
“ You got so tall and so handsome.” she said standing slightly on her toes and gave him a kiss the cheek “ Take care now and don’t forget to stop by or call once and a while!”
“ Alright.” he said walking away more than ready to just head home and lock himself in his room for while.
“ Why don’t you ask him when he comes over here?” Sango told Ayame as they all stared
“ She’s hot.” Miroku stated “ I’d tap that.”
Sango suddenly reached up and slapped Miroku on the back of the head. She didn’t know why she did that it just bothered her that he talked about Jaylynn that way or at least that’s what she told herself.
“ Ow!” he said rubbing the back of his head “ What the fuck was that for?”
“ Don’t talk about her that way.” she said looking straight a head getting a weird look from Miroku.
“ What do you think they’re talking about? He looks kind of upset.” Ayame noticed
Sango turned around and saw Jaylynn and Inuyasha speaking in low voices, it looked like whatever they were discussing was pretty important.
“ Who knows.” Sango said
“ She is pretty though.” Ayame said observing them
“ Please,” Kagome said suddenly “ She’s probably like twice his age.”
“ So?” Miroku said “ She’s gorgeous.”
“ So?” Kagome said back suddenly getting worked up “ It’s illegal.”
“ Besides, are looks really that important?” Ayame asked
“ Not if you want a serious relationship but if you just want to mess around with someone they might as well be hot.”
“ He’s got you there.” Sango agreed surprising Miroku
“ Nice guys, real nice.” Kagome said putting her hands on her hips
“ What are you getting so worked up over Princess? It’s not like it concerns you?”
“ I’m- I’m not getting worked up.” she said suddenly embarrassed
“ Could’ve fooled me.” Sango said giving her a look while taking her sunglasses off her face and putting them in her hair.
Kagome looked over where Inuyasha was just in time to see them hugging and all of a sudden she was hit with a pang of jealousy. She watched as the woman held him then let go and gave him a kiss on the cheek and she felt a sense of longing. She wanted to be that woman, whoever she was just to be able to touch him, be near him, to hold him just once. She’d been trying so hard to cover up her feelings but right now she just didn’t care who saw her staring she knew she’d never allow herself to be that girl even if she did have the chance. She knew she’d always be that girl who was with the most popular boy in school, she’d always be that girl everyone expected her to be not the girl she wanted to be. By hanging out with Sango and Inuyasha she was already putting herself outside that expectation if she ended up breaking up with up her boyfriend and dating Inuyasha well she’d didn’t want to think how everyone would react not that Inuyasha would ever be interested. Kagome sighed as Ayame and Sango watched the emotions play on her face and exchanged knowing looks.
“ That bitch.” Sango thought as she watched Kagome stare jealously at Inuyasha and Jaylynn.
Inuyasha walked over stressed, angry, and just plain annoyed. He was more than ready to go home when he walked over to the car and saw Miroku, Ayame, and Kagome standing around pretending they weren’t looking over at him just a second ago.
“ Fuck.” He thought really not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment.
“ Hey Inuyasha!” Ayame said excitedly
“ Yo.” he said standing on the other side of the car
“ Who was that girl man?” Miroku instantly asked “ She was a major babe.”
“ Who Jaylynn?”
Suddenly, everyone’s except Sango’s eyes bugged out of their heads not believing what they just heard.
“ Jaylynn Yoshida!?!” Kagome half-yelled
“ Yeah.” he said already bored with the conversation.
“ She’s like my hero! The woman is amazing!” Ayame squealed
“ God damn, your lucky.” Mirkou said
“ Time out,” he said wanting to get the record straight “ Jay and I are not dating nor are we together or anything like that. She is just a friend of the family, if anything she’s like my big sister she’s been with my family for so long.”
“ Oh.” the three said simultaneously
“ Can you introduce me?” Ayame asked
“ I’ll see what I can do.” he said standing trying get Sango’s attention so she’ll get the hint that he wanted to go home.
“ Hey Sango.” Kagome said suddenly staring across the street
“ Yeah?”
“ Isn’t that your brother?”
Sango looked across the street to see him outside a store with his camera equipment but he was only with Kanna. Ignoring Inuyasha she quickly pushed the button on her key ring locking the doors to the car and walked across the street with everyone else close at her heels. Inuyasha wasn’t too happy and wanted to kill Sango for ignoring him like she did but he’d deal with it later he figured she was probably pissed at him for taking so long even though is wasn’t really his fault.
“ Fucking Jaylynn!” he thought as he crossed the street
“ Kohaku!” Sango yelled
Kohaku and Kanna spun around sticking the camera right in their faces. Bringing his head from behind the video camera he looked up and smiled.
“ Hey sis!” he said “ What’s going on?”
“ What are you doing here?” she asked
“ Giving Shippo a make over.” Kanna piped up
“ Huh?”
“ We were getting some air. Souten’s in there with him now. You all should come in we’ll need some more girl advice and more guys too.”
“ Okay.” they all said as they followed Kohaku into the store
“ Sango why is Kohaku even hanging out with Shippo?” Inuyasha whispered to Sango once they entered the store.
“ I asked him to.”
“ Why?”
“ Because Minako asked me to and because if they hung out they might rub off on each other.”
Sango walked through the door to the dressing rooms to see Souten standing outside one of them throwing clothes over the top. Inuyasha was suddenly very confused Sango was acting like a mother or something which was weird because although Kohaku was her brother she’d always acted like a sister. Inuyasha sighed loudly and chalked it up to just being one of those days. Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha and suddenly noticed his hand, it had bandages wrapped around it which made her instantly concerned. Altough, she wondered what had happened she figure she’d ask about it on Monday, there was not use in causing a seen about it when it looked like he was hiding which meant her just didn’t want to talk about it.
“ Come on Shippo,” Souten coaxed knocking on the dressing room door “ It can’t be that bad.”
“ Are you sure about this Souten?” said a shy voice from behind the dressing room door
“ Yes, will you come out.” she said sternly
Shippo walked out and almost blushed bright red when she saw all the people in front pf him.
“ What are they doing here?” he said getting embarrassed
Souten spun around to see the whole gang from last night standing behind her, she gave them a smile then looked at Kohaku for an explanation.
“ I thought we could use more help.” he said clicking on his camera “ Where’s Shiori?”
“ You actually got Shiori out of her room?” Sango asked shocked
“ It wasn’t easy.” Souten said as Kagome stepped forward to take a closer look at Shippo.
“ You are so adorable!” she squealed getting another blush from Shippo.
“ Umm Thank you.”
“ Now, that is a nice outfit on you,” she began “ Souten has good taste but now we need more, you all just leave it to me.”
Kagome grabbed Shippo by the wrist and pulled him away to go match colors with his eyes and hair. Sango shook her head as Ayame giggled and Souten blinked not sure what just happened. Suddenly, Inuyasha felt a tug on the arm of his shirt causing him to jump. He spun around quickly and looking into violet eyes.
“ Shiori,” he said “ You scared me.”
“ Sorry.” she said quietly
“ It’s Okay.”
“ There you are!” Souten squealed grabbing her by the hand and shoving her into a dressing room.
“ Looks, like you have everything under control.” Inuyasha said “ Sango and I are going to head out.”
“ Alright then,” Miroku said “ This will be entertaining to say the least. See you man!”
“ Later,” he said looking around “ Anyone seen Sango?”
“ She saw some guy outside and went out to work her magic. Whatever that means.” Ayame said
Miroku looked over towards the small window and saw Sango talking to some guy with long black hair pulled back in a low pony tail and a tattoo on his shoulder. His eyes burned with jealousy as Inuyasha thanked Ayame said his goodbyes and left the store. By the time he got out there Sango was saying goodbye and had a slip of paper in her hand.
“ Time to go already?” she asked following Inuyasha back across the street
“ That has to be a record for you. What’s his info?” he asked out of curiosity
“ Bankotsu Sasaki, he’s seventeen years old, lives just outside of town, he has the hottest blue eyes, and has two tattoos. One on arm and one on the middle of his back. I also have his phone number, address and a date tonight.”
“ Damn,” Inuyasha said as they reached the car “ That definitely has to be a record.”
“ I think he was just relieved to find someone who didn’t look like everyone else in this damn town.”
“ At least we didn’t run into Nazuna.” Inuyasha said sliding into the passenger seat after Sango unlocked the doors.
“ Don’t even mention her name,” Sango said getting into the car and closing the door “ If that bitch gives me one more dirty look, I swear it’s on.”
“ Hey, where’s our CD?” Inuyasha asked as she started the engine
“ I lent it to Miroku.” she said “ He liked the music.”
“ You lent him our band's demo Cd?”
“ You act like we don’t have more copies.”
“ Fine, fine.” he said sitting back in the seat
“ So, Jaylynn made you go to the clinic huh?” she asked as she began to pull out of her parking spot.
“ Yeah.” he said looking out the window
“ So, want to talk about it now? It’s a long drive.”
“ Sure.” he said sighing
As Sango drove down the street and out of sight, Miroku stood at the shop window watching the car drive away. He didn’t understand why he was feeling or why the feeling was so strong even though he barely knew her but he knew he really liked her. He let out a huge sigh as the car drove out of sight, promising himself that he wouldn’t sit back and do nothing while Sango went out with some random guy. He’d win her over if it was the last thing he did.
A/N: Okay..I'm trying to move this story along as fast as I can..but there's so much I want to but in here. Anyway, that's all..I'll get the next chapter out as soon as I can...but mid-terms are coming up soon..so I can't promise anything..laters!!
“ Idiot.” she thought with a small grin
“ Hey!” he yelled over the music

“ Thanks.”
“ No problem.”

“ Waiting for a friend. You?”
“ I was hanging out with Kagome but she ran into Ayame and now I don’t know where they’ve gone.”
“ Shopping?”
“ How’d you guess?”
“ I had a hunch.” she said with a small smile
Miroku looked down her and his breath almost caught, she was a vision. Miroku had always been know to be pretty forward with girls, to the point where he got slapped at least five to ten times a day, he was tempted to try that with Sango so many times and it was proving difficult to control himself.

“ Why don’t you ask him when he comes over here?” Sango told Ayame as they all stared
“ She’s hot.” Miroku stated “ I’d tap that.”
Sango suddenly reached up and slapped Miroku on the back of the head. She didn’t know why she did that it just bothered her that he talked about Jaylynn that way or at least that’s what she told herself.
“ Ow!” he said rubbing the back of his head “ What the fuck was that for?”
“ Don’t talk about her that way.” she said looking straight a head getting a weird look from Miroku.
“ What do you think they’re talking about? He looks kind of upset.” Ayame noticed
Sango turned around and saw Jaylynn and Inuyasha speaking in low voices, it looked like whatever they were discussing was pretty important.
“ Who knows.” Sango said
“ She is pretty though.” Ayame said observing them
“ Please,” Kagome said suddenly “ She’s probably like twice his age.”
“ So?” Miroku said “ She’s gorgeous.”
“ So?” Kagome said back suddenly getting worked up “ It’s illegal.”
“ Besides, are looks really that important?” Ayame asked
“ Not if you want a serious relationship but if you just want to mess around with someone they might as well be hot.”
“ He’s got you there.” Sango agreed surprising Miroku
“ Nice guys, real nice.” Kagome said putting her hands on her hips
“ What are you getting so worked up over Princess? It’s not like it concerns you?”
“ I’m- I’m not getting worked up.” she said suddenly embarrassed
“ Could’ve fooled me.” Sango said giving her a look while taking her sunglasses off her face and putting them in her hair.
Kagome looked over where Inuyasha was just in time to see them hugging and all of a sudden she was hit with a pang of jealousy. She watched as the woman held him then let go and gave him a kiss on the cheek and she felt a sense of longing. She wanted to be that woman, whoever she was just to be able to touch him, be near him, to hold him just once. She’d been trying so hard to cover up her feelings but right now she just didn’t care who saw her staring she knew she’d never allow herself to be that girl even if she did have the chance. She knew she’d always be that girl who was with the most popular boy in school, she’d always be that girl everyone expected her to be not the girl she wanted to be. By hanging out with Sango and Inuyasha she was already putting herself outside that expectation if she ended up breaking up with up her boyfriend and dating Inuyasha well she’d didn’t want to think how everyone would react not that Inuyasha would ever be interested. Kagome sighed as Ayame and Sango watched the emotions play on her face and exchanged knowing looks.
“ That bitch.” Sango thought as she watched Kagome stare jealously at Inuyasha and Jaylynn.
Inuyasha walked over stressed, angry, and just plain annoyed. He was more than ready to go home when he walked over to the car and saw Miroku, Ayame, and Kagome standing around pretending they weren’t looking over at him just a second ago.
“ Fuck.” He thought really not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment.
“ Hey Inuyasha!” Ayame said excitedly
“ Yo.” he said standing on the other side of the car
“ Who was that girl man?” Miroku instantly asked “ She was a major babe.”
“ Who Jaylynn?”
Suddenly, everyone’s except Sango’s eyes bugged out of their heads not believing what they just heard.
“ Jaylynn Yoshida!?!” Kagome half-yelled
“ Yeah.” he said already bored with the conversation.
“ She’s like my hero! The woman is amazing!” Ayame squealed
“ God damn, your lucky.” Mirkou said
“ Time out,” he said wanting to get the record straight “ Jay and I are not dating nor are we together or anything like that. She is just a friend of the family, if anything she’s like my big sister she’s been with my family for so long.”
“ Oh.” the three said simultaneously
“ Can you introduce me?” Ayame asked
“ I’ll see what I can do.” he said standing trying get Sango’s attention so she’ll get the hint that he wanted to go home.
“ Hey Sango.” Kagome said suddenly staring across the street
“ Yeah?”
“ Isn’t that your brother?”
Sango looked across the street to see him outside a store with his camera equipment but he was only with Kanna. Ignoring Inuyasha she quickly pushed the button on her key ring locking the doors to the car and walked across the street with everyone else close at her heels. Inuyasha wasn’t too happy and wanted to kill Sango for ignoring him like she did but he’d deal with it later he figured she was probably pissed at him for taking so long even though is wasn’t really his fault.
“ Fucking Jaylynn!” he thought as he crossed the street
“ Kohaku!” Sango yelled
Kohaku and Kanna spun around sticking the camera right in their faces. Bringing his head from behind the video camera he looked up and smiled.
“ Hey sis!” he said “ What’s going on?”
“ What are you doing here?” she asked
“ Giving Shippo a make over.” Kanna piped up
“ Huh?”
“ We were getting some air. Souten’s in there with him now. You all should come in we’ll need some more girl advice and more guys too.”
“ Okay.” they all said as they followed Kohaku into the store
“ Sango why is Kohaku even hanging out with Shippo?” Inuyasha whispered to Sango once they entered the store.
“ I asked him to.”
“ Why?”
“ Because Minako asked me to and because if they hung out they might rub off on each other.”
Sango walked through the door to the dressing rooms to see Souten standing outside one of them throwing clothes over the top. Inuyasha was suddenly very confused Sango was acting like a mother or something which was weird because although Kohaku was her brother she’d always acted like a sister. Inuyasha sighed loudly and chalked it up to just being one of those days. Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha and suddenly noticed his hand, it had bandages wrapped around it which made her instantly concerned. Altough, she wondered what had happened she figure she’d ask about it on Monday, there was not use in causing a seen about it when it looked like he was hiding which meant her just didn’t want to talk about it.
“ Come on Shippo,” Souten coaxed knocking on the dressing room door “ It can’t be that bad.”
“ Are you sure about this Souten?” said a shy voice from behind the dressing room door
“ Yes, will you come out.” she said sternly
Shippo walked out and almost blushed bright red when she saw all the people in front pf him.
“ What are they doing here?” he said getting embarrassed
Souten spun around to see the whole gang from last night standing behind her, she gave them a smile then looked at Kohaku for an explanation.
“ I thought we could use more help.” he said clicking on his camera “ Where’s Shiori?”
“ You actually got Shiori out of her room?” Sango asked shocked
“ It wasn’t easy.” Souten said as Kagome stepped forward to take a closer look at Shippo.
“ You are so adorable!” she squealed getting another blush from Shippo.
“ Umm Thank you.”
“ Now, that is a nice outfit on you,” she began “ Souten has good taste but now we need more, you all just leave it to me.”
Kagome grabbed Shippo by the wrist and pulled him away to go match colors with his eyes and hair. Sango shook her head as Ayame giggled and Souten blinked not sure what just happened. Suddenly, Inuyasha felt a tug on the arm of his shirt causing him to jump. He spun around quickly and looking into violet eyes.
“ Shiori,” he said “ You scared me.”
“ Sorry.” she said quietly
“ It’s Okay.”
“ There you are!” Souten squealed grabbing her by the hand and shoving her into a dressing room.
“ Looks, like you have everything under control.” Inuyasha said “ Sango and I are going to head out.”
“ Alright then,” Miroku said “ This will be entertaining to say the least. See you man!”
“ Later,” he said looking around “ Anyone seen Sango?”
“ She saw some guy outside and went out to work her magic. Whatever that means.” Ayame said
Miroku looked over towards the small window and saw Sango talking to some guy with long black hair pulled back in a low pony tail and a tattoo on his shoulder. His eyes burned with jealousy as Inuyasha thanked Ayame said his goodbyes and left the store. By the time he got out there Sango was saying goodbye and had a slip of paper in her hand.
“ Time to go already?” she asked following Inuyasha back across the street
“ That has to be a record for you. What’s his info?” he asked out of curiosity
“ Bankotsu Sasaki, he’s seventeen years old, lives just outside of town, he has the hottest blue eyes, and has two tattoos. One on arm and one on the middle of his back. I also have his phone number, address and a date tonight.”
“ Damn,” Inuyasha said as they reached the car “ That definitely has to be a record.”
“ I think he was just relieved to find someone who didn’t look like everyone else in this damn town.”
“ At least we didn’t run into Nazuna.” Inuyasha said sliding into the passenger seat after Sango unlocked the doors.
“ Don’t even mention her name,” Sango said getting into the car and closing the door “ If that bitch gives me one more dirty look, I swear it’s on.”
“ Hey, where’s our CD?” Inuyasha asked as she started the engine
“ I lent it to Miroku.” she said “ He liked the music.”
“ You lent him our band's demo Cd?”
“ You act like we don’t have more copies.”
“ Fine, fine.” he said sitting back in the seat
“ So, Jaylynn made you go to the clinic huh?” she asked as she began to pull out of her parking spot.
“ Yeah.” he said looking out the window
“ So, want to talk about it now? It’s a long drive.”
“ Sure.” he said sighing
As Sango drove down the street and out of sight, Miroku stood at the shop window watching the car drive away. He didn’t understand why he was feeling or why the feeling was so strong even though he barely knew her but he knew he really liked her. He let out a huge sigh as the car drove out of sight, promising himself that he wouldn’t sit back and do nothing while Sango went out with some random guy. He’d win her over if it was the last thing he did.
