InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Heaven and Hell ❯ Meetings ( Chapter 2 )

Sango maneuvered through the incredibly large crowd with a luck that defied probability. She should have lost control a thousand times of the tray she held over her head. Things were crazy for a Thursday night. It must be one of those weeks for everyone. She certainly had one! She could feel herself getting angrier by the second. That jerk should be shot. She mentally planned all the different ways that she could tear him limb from limb. Grr…why could she not meet at least one decent guy in her lifetime?  She reached the table that had ordered the drinks and set them down. The music changed from a slow song to a more upbeat song. She recognized the tune. It was from an American artist, Fighter, she thought it was called. She started singing along with it under her breath as she made her way back to the bar where Legion was dispensing liquid refreshment to their many patrons.  She smiled wearily at her as she sat the tray down with a plop.

“Did you finally get Kag to understand that math?”

Legion never missed a beat as she took orders, mixed drinks, and said to Sango, “Yeah, I finally got her to understand things. I gave her list of basic steps to follow and she seemed to understand how to make the equations work after that. She said she would be down to help as soon as she finished reading her history assignment.” Legion noticed a new group of patrons sit down in a table close to the dance floor.  “You’ve got two more at the table by the floor.”

Sango looked where Legion had mentioned. “Thanks.” She grabbed her tray and began to push her way through the crowd.

“No prob,” Legion said too softly to hear with a tiny upward curve to her lips.

Miroku and Inuyasha made their way through the impressive crowd. Inuyasha had an unhappy look on his face as more than one half-drunk person tripped over him. After waiting for an hour and half until Miroku had latched himself onto a gorgeous blond who happened to be a friend of the bouncer at the door. Inuyasha was still amazed that she was stupid enough to agree to bear his children.  However, she had managed to convince the bouncer to let the three of them in. Inuyasha wrinkled his nose as another whiff of her perfume drifted into his nostrils. He could have sworn that the girl had emptied the entire contents of whatever brand it was onto herself. For his best friend’s sake, he tried to ignore it and the constant thrum of people and music that was giving him one of the most intense headaches that he had ever had. He tended to get irritable when his head hurt. Surprise..Surprise.

“Anyways…” the blond yapped incessantly in her annoyingly high pitched voice. “I told myself when I saw you too standing outside. Wow, these guys are like….BLAH, BLAH BLAH.” She wasn’t really saying blah, blah, blah, but by this point that was all that he was hearing. What had Miroku been thinking when he picked her up? Oh, wait, that’s a hard one. The only thing that thought on Miroku was below his waist. Of course, he wasn’t saying that he hadn’t enjoyed is own share of women. Just thinking about his ex-girlfriend, Kikyo, got him hot and not just in anger although he felt pretty steamed about her betrayal. A low-pitched growl escaped his throat. Shit, he promised himself that he wasn’t going to think about her anymore. They finally found an empty table close to the dance floor much to Inuyasha’s displeasure.

Miroku sat down in a chair bringing the chatty blond onto his lap. She didn’t seem to mind as she began to dance sexually in his lap. What a slut! He was wondering if he was going to need to get up and get his own drink when a tall slender brunette waitress walked up to her table. She had her hair pulled up high on her head in a ponytail. She gave Miroku and the blond a dirty look, before turning to Inuyasha with a smile.

“Welcome to Heaven and Hell! Can I get you some drinks?” she said with a strong but feminine voice that carried over the music without being a yell. Inuyasha gave her a lazy sexy smile. She was fine without the annoying overdressed, over primped look that the blond in Miroku’s lap had.

“Yeah, I want a jack and coke on the rocks,” in the background he heard the blond ask Miroku to dance to which he made an obscene remark. The waitress rolled her eyes in what appeared to be disgust, before quickly pasting the smile back on her lips. She took the exact change he handed her.

“Coming right up,” She turned to walk away when Miroku’s voice stopped her.

“Hang on,” to his companion,”…you want anything?…No..,” to the waitress, “I need a Sex on the Beach.” A giggle came from the blond.

The waitress lost her smile as she muttered, “Typical,” wrote it down, took his cash, and walked off in a huff. Miroku’s smile faltered and he looked at Inuyasha in askance. Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders at his friend. She had been nice enough to him. Maybe she just didn’t like playboys. Miroku’s smile returned as the blond whispered something in his ear. At least she wasn’t talking in a normal voice. He might have thrown something at her if he had to listen to her for much longer. He watched the two move onto the dance floor as the music changed to a different song. The DJ came over and said that a live group known as Chimera would be coming on in 15 minutes. The waitress came back with the drinks rolling her eyes as she watched Miroku and slut girl have sex on the dance floor. Not really, but it was hard to tell the difference. She gave him a smile, sat the drinks down, and said, “I know I don’t know you, but your friend out to know that Mindy’s pregnant. Her boyfriend dumped her yesterday when she told him. They had a big break up in the middle of the dance floor. She spent two hours in the manager’s office squalling after the bouncer threw the boyfriend out for taking a swing at her. Now, she’s looking for some idiot to sleep with and convince him that he’s the father. You’ll want to warn your friend.” With that she turned to go back to bar before Inuyasha had a chance to respond.

Sango wondered what made her tell that guy about Mindy’s plan of action, but she was basically a nice person even if that guy’s smile made her skin crawl. He reminded her of the guy that she had dumped this afternoon. She was beginning to wish that she had never offered to take over Kag’s shift. She could almost use a drink of her own. No Sex on the Beach for her though!

Kag was behind the bar when she got back. She was helping Legion and the new guy mix drinks and take orders. Kag gave her a funny look as she noticed Sango’s expression. “You, OK?” she asked a little concerned.

“Yeah. I’m just a little put out by the male population today. Hey, Legion, Mindy’s back. I think she’s got her hooks into another one. I gave his friend the heads up on her.”

Legion’s face wrinkled in disgust. “I can not (with emphasis) stand that girl. I thought about strangling myself last night when they brought her into the office. If you see her all-over someone else, be sure and let them have the heads up. I don’t want her using our bar to pick up someone to be her baby’s daddy.” Someone hollered for a refill and Legion turned away muttering, “…tramp.”

Kagome shook her head. “You want me to deal with her. I’m sure she’ll throw a fit when she finds out that you let the cat out of the bag.”

“Yeah, could you? I think I’m going to take my five minute break and down a daiquiri.”

“No problem.”

Kagome took her tray as Sango mixed her drink and slipped into the back for a few minutes respite.

If anyone had been paying attention they would have noticed that Legion was watching out the corner of her eye, a knowing smile dancing on her lips.

When Miroku and Mandy or whatever her name was sat back down, Inuyasha took a sniff of Melissa and could tell that under the over applied perfume she smelt like a woman who was pregnant. So the waitress was telling the truth. He managed to get Miroku’s attention.

“Mindy, you want anything to drink?” Miroku asked as he downed his and stood up to go to the bar.

She smiled sugar sweet at him and purred, “Nooo, all I need is you.”

Miroku leaned down, “Maybe later.”

Inuyasha felt like rolling his eyes himself. She was so fake it was nauseating and Miroku was eating it up.  He got up and said, “I’ll come with you. I’m about empty myself.”

When they are out of earshot, Miroku asked, “What’s up?”

“Mary or Melinda, or whatever, is pregnant. The waitress gave me the heads up, but I can tell the difference of the smell under her perfume.  The waitress also said she was looking for a father for her unborn child. Unless you are ready to give up you wandering ways to be the daddy of someone else’s baby, you need to give her the shove off. I can’t let you go anywhere by yourself without you getting into trouble,” Inuyasha told him with a knowing smirk.

Miroku knew his friend well enough to know that he wouldn’t lie about something like that. He turned around without a glance back at his friend, ready to give Mindy a piece of his mind. He could be a pretty nasty person when you got on his bad side. Mindy was officially on the Miroku shit list.  Inuyasha kept walking towards the bar having no attention of listening to that annoying woman screech her displeasure. He wasn’t really paying attention to where he was going when he bumped into something. He heard a humph of released air and a thud as what he ran into landed on the floor. He looked down into soft brown eyes that made him think of things that he wasn’t sure he wanted to think of. As his vision expanded, he got a good look at her face...

Kagome who looked up to see what she had managed to run herself into this time. She was thinking about her math homework instead of watching where she was going. As she looked up, she stared into the most gorgeous pair of golden eyes. If she had been standing up, she probably would have fallen down. Her knees felt like jello. As her vision widen she saw a gorgeous head of silver hair surrounding a face that was absolutely gorgeous. And the rest him was even better. Broad shoulders, tall, lean, defined muscles, he was every girl’s dream. Don’t drool! It was too bad his next words broke the spell.

“Kikyo, you slut!” he spat in disgust, “So you think this coy little ploy will work?”
