Chapter 6: Mixed Pairs

 

The night passed quickly in the Higurashi shrine. The pleasant atmosphere was constant throughout the night, well except for Miroku's hands, we all know how that goes, but other than that a wonderful evening was passed in the quiet sanctuary of the shrine. Pretty soon, Kagome and Sango were walking the boys to their car.

 

“I had a very pleasant evening Lady Kagome. Your eyes rival the stars in the sky,” Miroku said smoothly, “ and I especially enjoyed your presence Lady Sango, that posterior could rival any desert made by the finest chef.” Both girls blushed heavily and rolled their eyes.

 

“ummmmmmm ok then, well I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow then,” Kagome said.

 

“Goodnight guys,” Sango said cheerfully.

 

Koga walked up to Kagome and took her hand.

 

“Goodnight love, I will be dreaming about you and how happy I'll make you.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes, and tried to tug her hand away, but he wouldn't let go.

 

“Umm Sango.. a little help for you favorite cousin?”

 

“but Souta's inside,” replied Sango.

 

“Hey!!!.. help me!!”

 

“Fine fine.. ok lover boy, its time to pack your tongue up and ship it home.” Sango grabbed Koga's ear and dragged him to his car not heeding the curses that flew in her direction. When she opened the door, she threw him in the back seat.

 

“Damn Sango!!!” he whined, “ you could have at least let me kiss her goodnight.” Sango rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut, knocking him unconscious, and here she thought he had a thick skull. Inuyasha was casually leaning against the side of the car when she looked up. She saw him staring at her.

 

“See anything you like?” Sango smirked.

 

“Like there's anything to see,” he huffed. Even thought Sango knew he didn't mean it, it still kind of stung, but why should it sting, its not like she cared. She didn't care, and who was he to make her think like this! She got angry. The nerve of the guy was unbelievable. She looked back up at him and saw him looking up at the stars. His eyes glowed slightly, reflecting the star's twinkle. Those eyes, those amber pools of gold someone can drown themselves in and not want to come out. His finely sculpted 6-pack which could be easily seen from that button he oh-so-conveniently left unbuttoned. He brought his eyes back down to her, after he couldn't stand her stare any longer. Those stunning lavender eyes wide at being caught staring. They stared at each other for a minute before he slowly smirked.

 

“See anything YOU like?” Sango blinked from the daze she had found herself in when those eyes came into contact with her own. Instead of taking the obvious bait he had laid out for her, she simply returned with a smirk of her own.

 

“Maybe,” she said with a hint of seduction in her voice. She turned around and started walking back to where she left Kagome with Miroku, but as it was, Miroku was heading for the car as she was walking back. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at Inuyasha who was watching her.

 

“Goodnight,” she whispered, knowing that he heard it. She winked at him and said a goodnight to the lech as he passed, making sure to give herself enough space not to be groped. She walked back to Kagome; Kagome gave her a knowing nudge. Sango rolled her eyes, and both girls went inside.

 

-back at the car-

 

“Ahh.. I see you have the hots for our dear Sango,” Miroku said suggestively.

 

“shut up Miroku,” Inuyasha said, and threw him in the backseat with a still unconscious Koga, and drove off.

 

**The next day at school**

 

Miroku had gotten separated from the group and was scanning the crowds looking for some sort of familiar face before school started. He was strolling along when he finally saw Kagome standing off to the side. He walked until he was behind her.

 

“Ka..,” he never got to finish, when a girl who was definitely not Kagome turned around. He was instantly met with the coldest brown-green eyes he had ever seen.

 

“I am not Kagome,” she bit out harshly, and then glared at him when he didn't leave. For some reason, he wanted to get some other emotion from her other than coldness. Her eyes held pain, and he wanted to make it go away.

 

“You most definitely are not Kagome,” he said shocking her slightly, people just usually scoffed at her and said something along the lines `you look like her' `you're time of the month' and sometimes even `whatever frigid bitch.'

 

“Kagome doesn't have those stunning brown-green eyes that sparkle in the sunlight,” he said seductively and moved closer to her. “My name is Miroku, and pray tell what beautiful name accompanies a beautiful maiden such as yourself.”

 

The girl blushed for the first time in, she couldn't even remember the last time she blushed. His voice was smooth like melted chocolate and his words simply rolled off his tongue. She was lost in her thoughts when she felt a hand on her butt.

 

Miroku saw the girl blush and decided it looked nice on her. He noticed she was lost in thought and instinct kicked in.

 

*SLAP* Miroku was now supporting a nice red handprint on his cheek.

 

The girl's eyes were blazing with anger. They glowed with an internal fire that had long since been used. They were simply beautiful.

 

“You asshole, if you ever touch me there again, I will personally see to it that you lose that hand, understand,” she said coldly.

 

He held his hands up as a show of defeat. “My fair lady, I could not help myself, my instincts are too much to handle sometimes.”

 

Her eyes grew cold again, and she decided to leave. She didn't need any guy like this around her again; they caused too much pain, and she didn't need any more pain in her life, she had enough to last a lifetime.

 

“Wait!” Miroku called to her, she stopped. “What?” she said coldly. `why won't he leave me alone?' waiting for the vulgar comment to come, they always came.

 

“You never told me your name,” he said softly. She narrowed her eyes and turned to him. This was new, what game was this guy playing, but one look in his navy eyes told her that he was being sincere. He really wanted to know her name. Her eyes softened, and she smiled a small, sad smile.

 

“Kikyo,” she spoke back softly, turned around and left.

 

Miroku kept staring at the spot that Kikyo had just left, and then someone tapped his shoulder. He turned and saw Kagome.

 

“There you are!! We were looking everywhere for you!! Umm.. Miroku.. earth to Miroku!!” Kagome said waving her hand in front of his face. He blinked.

 

“Oh Kagome.. nice meeting you here.. beautiful day isn't it.”

 

“Miroku.. are you ok?”

 

“Yeah.. why.. do you know Kikyo?”

 

“Kikyo? Ooo I guess she must be better then and also I'm guessing you met her.. she must have made some sort of impression on you because you're really googly-eyed,” she giggled.

 

“why thank yo..hey!! I am not googly-eyed!!” he cried indignantly, but then his tone softened, “it's just that…” RING RING!! The bell rang.

 

“What were you going to say?” Kagome asked.

 

“Nevermind,” he said and turned around as the others approached. Inuyasha came and punched him in the head.

 

“Oii Miroku.. did you get lost?” he spoke in baby tones while the others laughed.

 

Miroku saw a glint on brown-green out of the corner of his eye.

 

“Something like that,” he said dreamily, “something like that.” With that, he walked to class, with the others watching his retreating back with confused looks.

 

**One month later**

 

Over the course of a month, the group became really close friends, all anxiously awaiting their graduation and the dance, which would be coming up at the end of the week. They spent all of their free time together, doing everything together.

 

-with Inuyasha and Miroku-

“So Inu, who you gonna ask to the dance?” Miroku questioned lazily, “I already have a guess, but you could tell me anyways.”

 

Inuyasha looked at him suspiciously, “who do you think it is?”

 

“Hmmm.. lets just say that she is practically the only girl that has ever kicked your ass.”

 

“She did not, I slipped and fell, a piece of dirt fell into my eye..” Inuyasha started stuttering. “Feh!” he yelled finally crossing his arms over his chest.

 

“So what if I'm gonna ask her to the dance, its not like she is going to say no to the one and only Inuyasha,” he said smugly. Miroku rolled his eyes.

 

“You most definitely won't get her if you talk like that. You have to smooth talk a lady, make her feel weak in the knees,” Miroku said expertly.

 

“Like you would know, you get bruised every time you meet a girl with those fucking hands of yours,” Inuyasha grumbled.

 

“At least I treat them nicely, can't say the same for you. I don't think you've ever said a really nice thing to her. Hell, you treat her like a piece of shit when she beats you at something, but at least I get good entertainment out of that since you end up getting hit. I swear.. better than any wrestling match I've ever seen.”

 

“I do treat her nicely, and I say nice things to her as well,” Inuyasha argued.

 

“Name one.”

 

“umm.. well there was this one time.. when I. Um..,” Inuyasha stuttered.

 

“Exactly,” Miroku said. “You can't think of something. That means there probably isn't anything.”

 

“Feh! If you think you fucking know everything, then what the hell would you say to get her to go with me?”

 

“Well..” said Miroku thinking deeply. “I would..”

 

-With Sango-

 

“Where the hell is he?” she fumed to herself as she opened the doors of the house the boys shared. The house was a two-story brick home with a large, lush yard surrounding it. She didn't know why three boys needed a big house such as this, but it didn't really matter to her. She was here on a mission. If the guy she wanted to go to the dance with wouldn't ask her out, not even look at her for the past week, she was going to ask him to the dance first. Screw waiting. She was never a very patient woman, so instead of waiting, she would take matters into her own hands…. but what if she were to be rejected? She halted in her steps. “I've never thought about that before,” she whispered to herself. Doubt coursed through her veins. She took a step backwards. “What if I am rejected?” She questioned loudly. She could handle it. Determination replaced the doubt, as her search increased ten-fold. She halted in her steps again. “Why am I taking this so seriously? It's not like this is between life and death” she sighed overdramatically and giggled to herself. “Okay, I'm officially insane,” she thought as she approached a door where she heard a voice coming through. She put her hand on the handle, and started opening the door to catch the last part of what sounded like a very intricate speech.

 

-With Miroku and Inuyasha-

 

“… and so my valiant lady, with all the reasons I have listed, please allow me this privilege to take a goddess such as yourself to the dance so that I may shine in your presence and bask in your attention, my dear..” Miroku closed his eyes and pictured someone's face with twinkling brown-green eyes smiling back at him, in his mind. He smiled and did a dramatic drop to his knee and held his hand out while facing the door. The door opened with his eyes still closed, and he opened his eyes to see Sango there, and before he could stop himself, he finished his speech “Sango.”

 

Sango didn't know what to say. Sure she was coming here wishing for an invitation to the dance, but she never expected this. She didn't want to hurt Miroku's feelings by saying no, especially not after that nice line and that look he had in his eyes. She looked at Inuyasha who was staring intently at her.

 

“Okay.. Miroku, I accept,” she said slowly. Miroku's eyes lost that dreamy look that they once held and widened slightly. He hadn't meant that. It just slipped, but he couldn't say anything now, not since she accepted.

 

“Thank you my dear Sango,” he said weakly. He got up off the floor and sat down in a chair. “Is there anything you wanted?” he asked.

 

“Umm.. no.. I'll see you guys tomorrow,” she said walking out the door, closing it behind her.

 

As soon as the door shut, Inuyasha got up and punched Miroku in the arm.

 

“What the fuck was that for?” Miroku questioned angrily.

 

“What do you mean `what the fuck' you know what the fuck that was for!”

 

“Shit man that was an accident! How was I supposed to know that Sango was going to walk through the door?”

 

“How the hell should I know?”

 

“Exactly. She wouldn't have said yes to me if you had asked her out already.”

 

“I was going to!” he yelled.

 

“I can't go back after her and say that was a mistake. It'll hurt her feelings, because she did say YES to ME” he emphasized.

 

“Feh,” Inuyasha said and went to the door, opened it, and slammed it shut. Miroku leaned forward in his char and covered his face with his hands. It was going to be a long week until the dance.

 

-with Inuyasha-

 

“fucking Miroku,” he grumbled as he slammed the door to his house. His conscience tugged at him. He knew it wasn't Miroku's fault, but he just needed to blow some steam. He started on a light jog that quickly grew into an all out run. He jumped into the trees and started hopping through the branches, his image a mere blur against the forest backdrop. He wasn't aware of his surroundings, of the small branches slapping his face, of the end of trees to jump on, he just simply jumped down to the ground, not aware of the person standing where he was going to land.

 

*thud* He landed on someone. He opened his eyes to a dazed brown-green.

 

“Damn it Kikyo, couldn't you see me running here?” he snapped at her. He instantly felt guilty; it was afterall he who jumped onto her. He eyes snapped back into focus as she pushed him off.

 

“I'm not to blame for your stupidity,” she said coldly. Her brown-green eyes were colder than the artic tundra. She turned and started walking away.

 

“Wait,” Inuyasha yelled. Kikyo stopped and glared back at him.

 

“What? Do I need to pick up your shit for you too puppy?” Inuyasha flinched.

 

“No, but you can pick up your own, and while you're at it, you can take that stick you've got shoved up your ass out” he bit back.

 

“You know what? You're just an egotistical asshole who thinks he's some big shit. Well you can take your big shit and stick it into that head of yours since its just full of fucking hot air,” she said and started walking away with the actual intent of going away. She wasn't going to waste her time with another asshole. She had enough of those in her life.

 

Inuyasha felt extremely guilty. Not only had he accused her of his mistake, he had insulted her. He made up his mind, and ran after her.

 

“Wait!” he yelled for her again. She didn't stop walking. “Wait!” he ran and grabbed her arm.

 

“Let go of me you bastard,” she whispered, her voice low.

 

“I'm sorry,” he said quickly.

 

“I said let go of m.. huh?” she said dumbly.

 

“I said I was sorry,” he replied, keeping down another sarcastic remark.

 

“Oh,” was all she could say. Inuyasha was apologizing to her.

 

“It was my fault that I ran into you, and I shouldn't have insulted you, so I'm sorry,” he grumbled and let go of her arm.

 

“Its ok,” she whispered tiredly. He noticed her drop of character.

 

“You ok?” he asked with a small trace of concern. Her glare returned and she opened her mouth to tell him that she didn't need his pity, when she realized that he didn't ask with pity or scorn, just a minute amount of concern. Her eyes softened slightly “I'm fine,” she replied. “What about you? Where were you going in such a hurry?” she questioned.

 

He eyed her warily, wondering at her show of curiosity. Deciding he could tell he, he opened his mouth to speak.

 

“Miroku did something, so I needed to blow off steam,” he said.

 

“what did he do?” she asked a little too loudly. Inuyasha looked at her strangely.

 

“He asked Sango to the dance,” he replied, not wishing to go into the specifics of how it was an accident.

 

“Oh,” was all she said. It felt like someone had torn her heart out, again. She knew it was going to happen, but she let herself believe that this could have been more. She let Miroku into her life, thinking he might be the one, but he turned out like all the other guys. She was also mad at Sango, but she knew it wasn't Sango's fault.

 

Inuyasha watched her face carefully. Her emotions were usually guarded well, but today, she just seemed too tired to even keep up her cold façade. When he told her the news of Miroku and Sango, she looked crushed, but he couldn't figure out for the love of him why.

 

“So.. ,” he started. The silence was getting unbearable. “Are you going with anyone to the dance?”

 

Kikyo snapped out of her thoughts. Her face darkened. “I thought I was, but I guess not,” she replied. `You just set yourself up for more pain' she told herself. She started to walk. No direction in mind. Inuyasha decided to follow her. She was still lost in thought when she heard a crying child. She looked over and saw him sitting on a bench. She hated seeing children cry. Children deserved to be happy, they should be happy. She walked over to him and kneeled down to his height.

 

“Hey there,” she spoke softly. The boy looked up. His brown eyes sparkled with tears as he looked at her.

 

“What's wrong?” she asked. The little boy launched himself into her arms and started crying and mumbling into her shirt.

 

The only word she could pick up was `Mommy'. “Did you lose your mommy?” she whispered. The little boy nodded his head. “It'll be okay, lets go look for your Mommy, okay? He nodded his head, and Kikyo picked herself up with the boy still holding onto her. She walked around until she came to a fountain. She was a man selling balloons. She saw the boy look longingly at them and decided to buy him one. Pretty soon, the boy sported a bright green balloon tied to his wrist and a bright smile on his face.

 

“Kito!” they heard a woman's voice yell out. The boy looked in the direction his name was called and hopped out of Kikyo's arms into the waiting arms of his mother. The mother had tears streaming down her face.

 

“Thank you so much for finding my boy!” she exclaimed hugging Kito tight to her.

 

“It was no problem,” Kikyo replied with a slight smile. Kito waved goodbye as his mother took him away. Kikyo raised her hand slightly to acknowledge his wave. She felt better after helping that little boy. The only kind of people she didn't have to be wary of was children. They, well most, were innocent, without a motive of pain or deceit in their actions. Kikyo sighed and sat down under a tree.

 

Inuyasha had watched the affectionate play from afar, and he decided Kikyo wasn't as bad as everyone made her out to be. She was actually quite enjoyable company when she wasn't being a bitch, or maybe it was him that provoked her to be a bitch. He shook his head slightly. Naw, couldn't be him; he had such a great personality, he thought with a arrogant smirk on his lips. His smirk turned into a soft smile as he watched Kikyo. She really was beautiful. The wind blew through her straight, mid-back length raven hair, surrounding her form. Her eyes, when not rivaling the arctic tundra, sparkled beautifully in the light. “You know what, screw Miroku,” Inuyasha said to himself as he walked over to Kikyo.

 

Kikyo saw Inuyasha walking towards her, and wondered why he wasn't gone yet. He sat down beside her and looked into her eyes. Kikyo felt herself blushing as those miniature suns bore so deeply into her own. He picked up her hand with surprising delicacy, and marveled at its soft texture.

 

Kikyo was staring in awe. He was being so gentle with her, and looking at her, dare she say, longingly.

 

“Kikyo,” he whispered. “Will you go to the dance with me?” He gazed at her, anxiously waiting for her reply. Her silence seemed like hours to him.

 

Kikyo's mind was whirling. First, Inuyasha knocks her over and accuses her. Then he has the gall to insult her. Then he asks her to the dance! `No!' her conscience screams at her. `He's just an asshole!” Today, Kikyo didn't seem to agree with her conscience. She decided to give him a chance, it's not like Miroku is going to ask her since he is going out with Sango. She licked her lips slowly, not noticing Inuyasha follow her tongue with his eyes.

 

“ok,” she whispers back to him. She watches with half-closed eyelids, as his face gets closer to hers. Her mind is screaming at her to move, but she doesn't want to. For once, she wanted to enjoy herself.

 

His lips pressed against hers softly. His tongue slowly darted out and licked the botton lip, begging for her lips to part and allow him access to the honey that lay inside. Her lips parted hesitantly, but she felt something crawl on her hand. She opened her eyes, when had she closed them, and saw a, her body stiffened. A spider had landed on her hand. She got up quickly, causing Inuyasha to fall forward on his face. He started sputtering because dirt had gotten into his mouth.

 

“WHAT THE FU,” he started to yell, but what he saw was something he never expected to see. “What the fuck?” he said smiling slightly.

 

Kikyo was jumping around, shaking her hand wildly. It looked like some dance, except for the fact that her face was deathly pale and her eyes seemed to bug-out. She surprised him even more.

 

“Get it off, get it off, damn it!!!!!” she kept ranting. It seems that whatever was “on her” wasn't letting go. Inuyasha walked slowly to her. Savoring this moment. It seemed everybody had a weakness. He grabbed her hand, and saw the spider. He almost sweatdropped. Kikyo kept trying to jerk her hand away to get the “danger” off, but Inuyasha just held her hand tightly, and lightly flicked the spider off. Kikyo sighed in relief, and gazed at Inuyasha with adoring eyes. This was too much. The ice bitch being afraid of spiders, the weird dance she just did, everything, was just too much. Inuyasha started chuckling, and then it turned into a full-blown laugh. Kikyo's eyes widened, and then hardened. She wretched her hand from Inuyasha's grasp, then, *slap* she hit him. He stared wide-eyed at her. She glared at him then turned around and started to walk away. He grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his chest.

 

“You hit me,” he growled softly. Kikyo shivered at his tone. She knew he wasn't to be messed with this time. She sighed.

 

“I'm sorry,” she whispered. His grip loosened, but tightened with her next words, “but you deserved it.” He turned her around to look at him. He searched her eyes. He saw pain in her eyes, and decided to let it go.

 

“feh whatever,” he said, but didn't let her go.

 

“umm, Inuyasha, could you let me go now?” Kikyo questioned.

 

“sure,” he said.

 

“I'll see you tomorrow,” they said at the same time. Inuyasha smiled, while Kikyo smiled a small smile. She looked hesitant for a second before she got on her tiptoes and gave Inuyasha a small peck on his cheek. She quickly stepped back and started walking away. She waved at him and he waved back. Inuyasha touched his hand to his cheek, and decided that the day seemed a little brighter than before. He started whistling and walked off home.
