The Bane of My Existance

Chapter Five:

Surprises



"Wow, Kagome!" Sango exclaimed as she looked at the Carmen. "How did you get this much done so quickly?"

"I had help," I mumbled, and I had to have been blushing because Sango leveled me with a look.

"You had help?" she questioned, skeptically. "I think I remember you saying, and I quote, 'No one touches this car but me. I'm the only person I trust not to fuck it up'." She grinned lasciviously, "So, who's 'helping' you?"

I looked at my feet and mumbled, "Inuyasha."

Sango pretended to clean her ear out, "I'm sorry. I think I missed that. Who did you say was helping you? Because I thought you said it was Inuyasha."

"That's what I said," I gritted through clenched teeth.

Sango just stared at me, her magenta eyes (contacts, of course) letting me know she thought I'd lost my mind. "I go to stay with my dad for two months and I come back to an alternate universe! Just when did you two start getting along!"

"After he kissed me."

My best friend's jaw dropped to the floor. "You--he--I--whatthefuck, Kagome!"

I shrugged, "I like him."

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" She shrieked.

Miroku chose that moment to poke his head into the shop. He grinned. "I thought I heard the mellifluous voice of my beloved." He batted his eyes. "I've missed you, Sango, my sweet!" He smiled a slightly frightening smile.

Inuyasha pushed past him and into the shop. He was wearing a white tank top and his beat up I'm-helping-Kagome-work-on-the-Carmen jeans. He looked yummy. He crossed to me and Sango's head turned to follow his progress. He greeted me with a kiss on the cheek and Sango made a flustered noise. He turned to her and chuckled, "Hey, Sango. I didn't know you were back." Sango just stared, bewildered by the situation.

Miroku had made his way stealthily into the shop and had crept up beside Sango while she had been distracted by Inuyasha and me. "Sango, my lo--"

Her eye twitched and she whirled on Miroku. She pointed at him and then at Inuyasha and back to Miroku, "You--He--This is your fault, Miroku!”

Miroku froze with his hand reaching for Sango's butt. "What's my fault, Sango, my love?"

She gestured frantically back and forth between Inuyasha and me. "Them!"

"Ah. Alas, dearest, they are not my fault. They happened completely on their own. I'm not complaining, though. My little sister finally has someone to take care of her."

It was my turn for my eye to twitch, "Your little sister doesn't need anyone to take care of her!" I would have advanced on him, but Inuyasha placed a well-timed kiss on my temple, and suddenly, I lost the desire to throttle my older brother within an inch of his life.

Sango looked distressed, "How did this happen!" she wailed and then she shrieked and my brother let out a startled howl as she punched him in the face. "Pervert! Keep your hands off my ass!"

"But it's such a sweet ass," he sulked, rubbing his reddened cheek. If he hadn't been staring at her butt, he may have had time to react before she hit him again, but my brother is hopeless that way. If he was in mortal peril and there was a 'sweet ass' or a nice pair of breasts in the room, he wouldn't stand a chance.

"Shut it!"

"Will you have my babies?"

She opened her mouth to say something, shook her head and said, “You’re such a freak." She then turned her burning gaze back to Inuyasha and me. "Inuyasha, if you hurt Kagome, I will kill you. She's my best friend, and we've been through hell together," she said fiercely.

He lifted one shoulder in a half shrug, "She'll be ok, Sango. I'm going to take care of her."

"What is with this me needing to be taken care of crap? I am a self-sufficient, independent female perfectly capable of taking care of myself." I crossed my arms under my breasts and cocked my hip, looking at all three of them.

"Nope...definitely not Nubby anymore..." Inuyasha murmured.

I turned my head slowly and stared at him incredulously. I was trying to be serious and he was staring at my breasts!

Miroku guffawed with laughter and Sango rolled her eyes. "You see!" She pointed emphatically at Inuyasha. "This is exactly what I mean, Kagome!"

"My dear Sango, you really haven't said much of anything. It was more like incoherent stuttering." Miroku pointed out.

She glared at him. It was an evil, magenta tinted glare that made her eyes seem to glow with a demonic sort of light. "When I want your opinion, Miroku, I'll give it to you."

Miroku seemed to melt--and not in terror. He looked at her as if she had just accepted his proposal to have his babies. "I love you."

Sango cocked her head to the side in the manner of a confused puppy. She looked at me and shook her head, deciding to ignore him. "Kagome, I just worry about you," she sighed. "I don't want you to get hurt again." She shifted her gaze back to Miroku who was making goo-goo eyes at her. She eyed him warily for a moment and turned back to me. "How do you live with him?"

I shrugged, "He's my legal guardian. It was him, or a foster home." I shuddered. "You get used to him. He's kind of like a guinea pig, you know. They make that really annoying noise every time they here a plastic bag rustling because they think they'll be fed. Once you learn how to tune it out, it's fine."

"Hey! I'm not like a guinea pig!"

"See? Just like a guinea pig. 'Wheek, wheek, wheek!'" (Those of you who've had guinea pigs know exactly what I mean. Those of you who've never had a guinea pig...well...there's a reason they're not called guinea mice.)

Inuyasha was trying to hold his composure, but lost it and laughed obnoxiously. Sango chuckled and smacked Miroku for touching her butt again.

"Ok, Kagome. I just wanted to come by and see how the Carmen was coming along and to let you know that I'm home. I need to go spend time with Mom and Kohaku. We're meeting the boyfriend tonight." She rolled her eyes.

"He can't be worse than the last one."

"I don't know. My mother discovers a new breed of cretin every time she gets back into the dating pool." She sighed. "If you need any help with the Carmen let me know. I'll start drawing up the designs for the decals."

"Rock on. Good luck tonight. I hope he's better than Paul."

Sango rolled her eyes and nodded. "See ya, 'Gome."

I watched her go, her short, black skirt swaying just under her behind. I smirked; Miroku was probably having a heart attack.

"Sango! When do I get to meet your family?" Miroku called as he ran after her. "If you're going to be the mother of my children, I should at least be acquainted..." His voice faded as he followed Sango out of the shop.

"Three...two...one."

SMACK!

"But Sango, it's so cute and pert and firm and..."

SMACK! "Pervert!"

"If you'd just date me--"

"Nothing would change."

There was a pause and then, "Yeah...you're probably right."

I heard Sango laugh and she spoke to him in low tones. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but when Miroku came back to the shop, he had a look of pure bliss on his face. "She said she'd think about it..."

My brother had been head over heels for Sango as long as I have known her. He worshiped the ground she walked on.

Sango had grown up having to be the parent in her family, so she'd always had a level of maturity that you do not find in most children. Her parents had divorced when she was in the third grade. Her mother had taken it badly and decided she wanted to be "young" again. She started wearing skimpy clothing and staying out until early morning. That left Sango and her brother Kohaku at home alone. Sango had had to learn how to make dinner to keep them from having to eat chinese takeout and pizza every night. It was Sango that made sure Kohaku got to and from school safely. It was Sango who gave him his bath at night until he was able to do it himself. It was Sango who tucked him into bed and comforted him if he had nightmares. And it was Sango who helped him with his math problems.

Miroku admired her for her maturity and identified with her. In his opinion, she was the most beautiful woman on the planet--even with her magenta colored contacts. He had waited until she was "legal" to start avidly pursuing her, but Sango (being an intelligent and rational young woman) had thwarted his every attempt at wooing her.

"It's not that I don't like him or that I think he's unattractive," she once told me. "I'm just not ready to have any sort of commitment right now. I've done the mommy thing, and I just need to be alone for a while."

I could understand that. I'd made a promise to myself not to be involved with anyone until I was ready.

I have a good feeling about those two, though.

Inuyasha nuzzled my neck, his arms wrapping around me from behind and caressed my bare midriff with gentle fingertips. "You're not wearing your overalls today..."

I closed my eyes, resting my head against his chest. "Didn't feel like doing laundry."

"I'm not complaining," he murmured against my neck.

His husky tone made my pulse quicken. I licked my lips, trying to assemble my jumbled thoughts into one coherent sentence. "I think we should get to work."

"That wouldn't be nearly as fun as what we're doing now," he purred. He ran a finger along the hemline of my shirt and my lips parted in a silent gasp.

Somehow he sensed that and, leaving one arm securely wrapped around my waist, with one hand, turned my face to his. "This is the first time I've seen you in something that doesn't completely hide your figure," he whispered against my lips. "Let me enjoy it." And then he kissed me. This kiss was unlike our previous kisses. This kiss was full of dark promises--promises of silken sheets, hushed whispers and the sweet friction of skin on skin.

He drew my lip between his teeth and bit down firmly. I moaned and he whirled me around to face him. He drew my lip slowly from between his teeth and I gasped. The sensation sent a jolt directly to my core. He tugged my hair, forcing my head back and nipped at the pulse point in my neck. I gripped his shoulders, because it was the only thing I could do. I was lost in the sensation of his lips, his teeth and his tongue. All I could do was hold on and whimper.

After a few more moments, he pulled away reluctantly. He was wearing his lopsided grin, “I suppose we should get started or we won’t get any work done at all today.”

I nodded dumbly, “Yeah…work…”

I think I broke you.”

All I could do was nod, completely dazed.
