Chapter 11: Bricks and Bones

 

Sango stumbled bleary-eyed into the kitchen to see Kagome at the stove making pancakes. “I knew I kept you around for a reason.”

 

 

She plopped down into a chair and rubbed at her eyes. She listened to Kagome hum tunelessly and thought back to a week ago:

 

 

Last week InuYasha had dropped Kagome off the day after the party and ran home with his tail tucked between his legs after one look at the pissed roommate. She had then sent her friend her patented 'singe your ball hairs' death glare. But it didn't have work, probably because Kagome didn't have any ball hairs. Sango was angry at Kagome for all of a heartbeat before she noticed the twinkle in her eyes and the smile playing around her lips. Not to mention that her clothes were different from last night. Sango dropped the glare and grinned.

 

 

“So how was he? I heard he's real good.”

 

 

Kagome's eyes widened and her jaw hit the floor. “What!? Where'd you hear that? Oh never mind. It's not what you think. We didn't do it. I fell asleep.” She swept past Sango and poured herself a glass of water, more to avoid eye contact than to quench any thirst.

 

 

 

“What do you mean you fell asleep? You were alone with the hands down hottest guy in our high school, though I reserve my opinion of him as a human being, and you didn't get down?. . . Your brain must be broken or something.” She pointed her index finger at her temple to emphasize her point and sent Kagome an incredulous look.

 

 

“Oh my god! Let me get this straight.” Kagome said turning and facing Sango with an look of equal incredulity, “ Are YOU, Sango the mother hen, actually encouraging me to have sex with InuYasha who you never miss an opportunity to threaten with bodily harm?”

 

 

“Well since you put it that way, I guess I was being a bit hypocritical. But damn, If I didn't love Miroku and I didn't hate InuYasha for what he did to you, I'd do him.” Sango walked to the living room and turned the TV on. Kagome followed her and stood in front of the screen,

 

 

“Whoa, WHAT?” Kagome had her hands on her hips “You hate InuYasha?”

 

 

“'Hate' might be a bit strong. Let's just say that I have reason to strongly dislike him right now. He can either push me into killing him. Or he can redeem himself by making you happy. It's all up to him. But if he ever hurts you, I'll chop him up into ity bity pieces and have my little brother use him for bait the next time he goes tuna fishing in Cabo.”

 

 

Kagome joined her on the couch and asked the same question she always asked when Sango said something scary: “ Where do you come up with this crap?”

 

 

“So what's with the change of clothes? If you didn't do it, why are you wearing his clothes. At least I'm guessing they're his, I mean Ninja Turtles?” Sango had chosen to ignore the question.

 

 

“Wait till you hear this. . .” Kagome proceeded to tell her about the party and subsequent fight with the stupid high school skank of a pig fucking whore. She also told her about the shower at which point Sango fainted and the story telling had to be put on hold while she regained consciousness.

 

 

“Holy shit! You took a shower at InuYasha's house? And you were naked? What was the name of that shower gel, I'm getting Miroku a bottle.” Sango's face was flushed from hyperventilating.

 

 

“Uh, yeah people are usually naked when they shower.” Kagome shook her head at her friend before she finished telling Sango about her night.

 

 

When Kagome was done Sango took her hands and looked her in the eyes. “Kagome, I want you to be careful. I love you, you are my best friend and I don't want to see you get hurt. I want you to be happy.”

 

 

“Thanks Sango.” Kagome threw her arms around her best friend. They had a very sweet moment and then Sango decided to rib her about spending the night with InuYasha.

 

 

A phone ringing knocked Sango out of her reverie. She shuffled over to the kitchen counter and grabbed the phone. “Hello?” She asked groggily. No one answered on the other end but she heard some heavy breathing. This woke her up and she said “Miroku, you freaking pervert bastard. If you don't stop I'm gonn. . . “ She didn't get to finish her no doubt colorful threat because whoever was on the other line hung up. But before they had done so Sango distinctly hear someone giggle in the background. This was the 6th such call that she had answered this week. The first couple were cute because she thought that Miroku was doing it but now it was just getting old and annoying. He wasn't copping to the deed and the giggle she had just heard was definitely female. She was starting to get a really bad feeling about this.

 

 

Kagome sashayed to the table from the kitchen with pancakes and syrup for the both of them. “Who was that?” she asked.

 

 

Sango didn't want to tell Kagome about her suspicions and alarm her so she just said “No one, just a prank call.”

 

 

“Oh, was it, by chance, someone breathing heavily? Cuz I think it's Miroku. It sounds like something that pervert would do. You should really talk to him about it. He woke me up at like 3am the other night.” Kagome dug into her breakfast.

 

 

While Sango loved pancakes, she could get that excited about them this morning because she was thinking about Kagome's comment. I was with Miroku all night a couple of nights ago. Shit. She decided to keep it to herself since Kagome had been on cloud nine all week. After all it wasn't everyday that your high school crush realized that he'd been an uncaring jerk off.

 

 

“So what are your plans for today?” Kagome asked snapping Sango out of her thoughts.

 

 

“Well I'm going to the mall with Miroku to find a Halloween costume then I have to go to dinner with my parents. What about you? Are you going to do something with InuYasha?”

 

 

“No. He had to go to work. His dad's working on some big case and they have to prepare for court on Monday. I was thinking that you and I could hang out together since we haven't really had a chance to all week but if you and Miroku have plans then I guess I could just stay home and study.” Kagome was a little bummed out that she couldn't be with Sango but she accepted it since she hadn't had time to tell Sango about her “day-ff”. But then Sango said something that brightened her day.

 

 

“Don't be stupid dumb ass. You can hang out with me and Miroku. We can both look for costumes. After all you are going to The Masquerade aren't you?”

 

 

The Masquerade was a huge party/concert that was thrown every year at Cox Arena for Halloween. They had live local bands and hundreds of people showed up to dance. The punch invariably got spiked so anyone who wanted to stay sober had better bring their own drinks. Of course a majority of the attendees were freshmen who didn't have anyone to tell them about the “tradition” so it turned into one big drunken frat party by the end. Sesshoumaru and Rin had been kind enough to tell Sango and Kagome about it but they figured that a couple drinks wouldn't hurt them while they were with friends that they could trust.

 

 

After cleaning their plates and glasses they went to their rooms to change for the mall. Kagome removed the Ninja Turtles shirt and black pajama bottoms that InuYasha had loaned her. She didn't have the heart to return them and he hadn't asked for them back so she kept them, besides they still smelled like Bvlgari and gave her hot flashed every time she took a deep breath. She picked out a pair of dark blue, boot cut, low rise jeans and paired them with a cream colored stretchy shirt that said “brunettes get better grades” and opted for her usual footwear, Roxy flip flops. She added a brown cotton Billabong jacket as an afterthought.

 

 

She went out to the living room to wait for Sango and figured that she'd have to wait a while when she heard the shower start so she turned on the television. She zoned out after a couple of minutes and thought about the last week.

 

 

It was like a dream come true. InuYasha was a great boyfriend. The day after the party he had insisted that she spend the day with Sango to tell her about what had happened. Probably it was mostly because he was scared shitless of Sango. After all she might have killed him first and asked questions about the night later. He had come over later that night to sit through 20 questions with Sango. The next day they had met for breakfast before classes and then again that night for dinner at a new sushi restaurant downtown. Oh man and he really knew how to kiss. He set her insides on fire every time he pressed his lips to hers and when their tongues met she saw fireworks.

 

 

They hadn't yet had sex but he wasn't rushing it which suited her just fine. She wanted him bad, but she still felt it was too soon. She wasn't a virgin but she didn't give herself up easily either. Hojo had been her first and only and it had happened six months into the relationship. At that time she had thought that she would eventually marry Hojo. But obviously that hadn't worked out. Still she harbored no regrets, she'd felt the pressure to have sex all through high school and unlike many unfortunate girls nowadays, her first time had been special. And that brought her thoughts back to her current dilemma. InuYasha.

 

If Hojo was the calm moon, then InuYasha was the burning sun. She was drawn to him like moth to a flame. She was already having trouble not pushing him down and relieving him of his burdensome clothing. She was a bit frightened at her body's ready response to his proximity. But she was unsure as to her abilities. What would he be like in bed? Hojo had been slow and gently. Would InuYasha take her passionately? Roughly? He was an unknown quantity and she had always been wary of the unknown.

 

 

Needless to say she was nervous. She was worried that she wouldn't measure up to his standards. After all Kikyou must have been great in bed. She was so wild. What if InuYasha was so disappointed that he dumped her. She'd be destroyed. She tried to push the thought out of her mind but it was being very persistent.

 

 

“Hey Kagome! What's wrong? You look like you're gonna have a nervous breakdown.” Sango was kneeling in front of Kagome with a paper bag in one hand and a wet towel in the other.

 

 

“WHAT IF I SUCK?!” Kagome wailed. Then she looked at Sango's hands “What's with the towel and bag?”

 

 

“Well you looked like you were either going to hyperventilate or faint and I wanted to be prepared.” She set the items on the coffee table and turned back to Kagome with a worried expression. “So, what if you suck at what?”

 

 

Kagome blushed. “Uh. . . I was thinking about when I decide to have sex with InuYasha. What if I suck? I mean, I'm sure Kikyou knew what she was doing and I don't have much experience. I don't know what to do.”

 

 

“Screw that whore. If she was good at having sex, it's because she practiced with every guy she saw and it's rumored that she got so drunk one time that she tried to practice with a horse though it hasn't been confirmed. You'll be fine and if he rejects you then you let me know and I'll make sure he never uses his dick again. When I'm done with him the best surgeons won't be able to put Mr. Stumpy back together again. Okay? I'll even let you help.” Sango got up to put the towel and bag away.

 

 

“Sango, thank you, but I wonder about you sometimes. Where do you came up with this crap?”

 

 

“I'm a product of violent media and an oversexed society.” She shrugged and grabbed her purse. “Ready to go?”

 

 

“Hell yeah.” Kagome and Sango left the apartment and ran right into Miroku.

 

 

“Hey ladies. Ready to go to the mall I see. You didn't have to meet me in the parking lot, I would have gone to the apartment.” Miroku was wearing a short sleeved black shirt that read “beware of my wiener” with a picture of a wiener dog on the front. He wrapped one arm around Sango and kissed her on the forehead. And since he was Miroku, he slid his hand down her back and palmed her ass.

 

 

Sango was feeling sufficiently guilty about forgetting that he was coming along that she didn't even smack him. Kagome giggled at Sango's guilty face and laughed uproariously at Miroku's t-shirt innuendo.

 

 

AT THE MALL

 

 

Sango was in the dressing room trying on a pair of pants and Kagome and Miroku were just outside the room waiting to give their opinions. Suddenly Miroku turned to Kagome and said “ You know Kagome, I have never seen InuYasha as happy as he's been this past week. I'm glad that you two found each other again.”

 

 

“Um, thanks Miroku.” Kagome wasn't sure what to say. Inside though she was jumping for joy.

 

 

“I must say, you're a vast improvement to Kikyou. Maybe now I can visit him at his apartment. The last time I dropped by she bitched me out for intruding on their quality time. Which from what I saw meant that she was getting drunk and he was in the dining room studying. He tried to talk her down but she wasn't having it. It turned into quite the shout-fest. I felt bad for the guy but he just wouldn't see that she was spiraling out of control.”

 

 

Kagome was saved from responding when Sango walked up to them in the tightest pair of leather pants. They looked like they had been painted on.

 

 

“What do you guys think?”

 

 

“How the hell did you get into those?” Kagome was astonished. The pants were shiny black pleather with laces in the front and sides. You could see the skin of her hips through the side laces.

 

 

“Good genes I guess.” Sango answered. She turned around to look in the mirror and Miroku quickly excused himself to go to the bathroom. Sango burst out laughing and checked herself out. “I'll take them. I don't think Miroku's ever gotten a boner so fast. Now we just have to find some fuck me boots.”

 

 

Kagome wisely chose this moment to remain silent. Unfortunately her mother also chose that moment to call. This was the call that Kagome had been avoiding.

 

 

Her mother really like Hojo and had practically planned out their wedding. Kagome considered ignoring the call but InuYasha had changed the ringer to play “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard” and people were starting to stare. Sango was laughing so hard that she nearly split a seam in the leather pants. Kagome gave up and answered the call.

 

 

“Hi mom!” She said with false enthusiasm “ What's up?”

 

 

“Kagome, I just heard from Mrs. Taisho that you are going out with her son, InuYasha. What about Hojo? You aren't cheating on him are you. I almost had a cake picked out. She called me at the florists to invite us to dinner. I couldn't decided between violets and white roses and after the call I got so flustered that I ordered 300 pink carnations.” She was gasping by the end of the speech and Kagome could hear car horns in the background.

 

 

“Omigod! Cancel that order. What the heck are you thinking mom! Quit planning my wedding. I'm not even twenty yet. And yes I am going out with InuYasha, I broke up with Hojo last week. I didn't tell you because I knew you would overreact, which is what you are doing. Listen we'll talk face to face tonight. We'll have dinner. Just go home, calm down and cancel the flower order.” After a moment's thought Kagome added “and any other order you may have placed. Love you bye.”

 

 

Kagome sat down on the floor and put her head in her hands. She looked up and saw that Sango had finished changing.

 

 

“That sounded like it went well. Your mom is so cute.” She walked to the counter with an embarrassed Kagome in tow. People were whispering to each other and pointing. Some girls that Kagome recognized from around school were looking at her with open hostility.

 

 

“Moms!” The girl at the counter exclaimed. “Mine tried to set me up on like 2o blind dates with her friends' sons last year. They were complete train wrecks. One of them picked me up in a freaking tow truck. I mean, what's that all about right?”

 

 

“uh, yeah right.” Kagome escaped from the store only to run into Sesshoumaru. Oh great, can this day get any more screwed up. Kagome like Sesshoumaru but there was no one who could show more cold disdain than him. She managed to regain her composure and said “Sorry Sesshoumaru I didn't see you there.”

 

 

“Clumsy as ever. Still I suppose InuYasha could and has done worse.” He said with a hint of a smile. He continued while she bristled at his comments. “Rin is around here somewhere looking for a costume. I assume you are doing the same.”

 

 

“You shouldn't assume Sesshoumaru, or else you could make an ass out of u and me.” where the hell did that come from? Well he did insult me didn't he? It's kinda hard to tell with him.

 

 

Sesshoumaru was as surprised at the witty comment as she was but he brushed it aside. “I understand that my mother has invited you and yours to have dinner with us this weekend. I hope that you are going to accept. It's always fun to watch InuYasha squirm under mother's enthusiasm for his future marital status.”

 

 

Kagome had nothing to say to that except “Marital status? Christ we've only been going out for a week.” Sesshoumaru only smiled in response.

 

 

Rin came up to them with four bags on her arms. She handed them to Sesshoumaru and hugged Kagome. “What's going on?”

 

 

“Sango and I are looking for costumes for The Masquerade. So far Sango's found a pair of skin tight leather pants. I think that she's going as a dominatrix.” Kagome said laughing.

 

 

“It really wouldn't surprise me the way she knocks Miroku around. I swear sometimes I think he enjoys it. Anywho, I found a great costume at Hot Topic. I'm going as Sakura from Naruto.” Rin was smiling from ear to ear.

 

 

“Sakura? Doesn't she have pink hair.” Kagome eyeballed Rin's black tresses and wondered how she was going to pull this off. “At least you have the stature for her.” Rin was shorter than the average college student so she was perfect to be an anime character.

 

 

“Whatever. I know she has pink hair, I got the hair dye and bleach too. So you and Sango can come over a couple of days before to dye my hair for me. It'll be great, we can have another sleepover.” Rin had her back turned to Sesshoumaru so she didn't see him grimace. He actually looked a little nervous.

 

 

Kagome wondered if he was nervous about the pink hair or the sleepover. Still, thinking about the comments he had made about her earlier, she felt gratified seeing him sweat a little.

 

 

“Sure, we'll do it.”

 

 

“Do what?” Sango walked up and hugged Rin, smacking Sesshoumaru with her shopping bag in the process.

 

 

“Rin is going to be Sakura from Naruto for Halloween and she wants to have a sleep over a couple nights before so that we can dye her hair pink.” Kagome was trying hard not to smile at Sesshoumaru's obvious discomfort.

 

 

“Excellent! I've always wanted to dye someone's hair pink.” Sango said jumping up and down.

 

 

At this point Miroku joined them looking much more relaxed than he had earlier. He grabbed Sango's butt and received the customary smack in the face. Obviously Sango had gotten over her guilt. The crew stayed together shopping for clothes and costumes the rest of the afternoon.

 

 

Sango and Kagome were dropped off by Miroku so that they could change for their dinners. As they walked up the stairs to their apartment they felt a strange apprehension. When they rounded the corner they saw several people standing by their door. There were pieces of glass on the ground.

 

 

“Hey what's going on here!” Sango yelled.

 

 

“Oh, you're finally home.” their next door neighbor said, “Someone threw a brick through your window. I saw who did it too. It was some fine ass Asian chick in a silver integra. She had bitchin blonde hair. Dude, wha'd you do to her? She looked pissed.”

 

 

Kagome and Sango sucked in some air and pushed through the crowd. There it was, a big, ugly brick in their living room lying in a pile of broken glass.

 

 

“SON OF A BITCH!!!” they shouted together.
