InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Thoughtful Misconceptions ❯ You Want To Do What? ( Chapter 5 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Inuyasha but I do have a rather attractive key chain and a really pretty poster of Sesshoumaru my Korean friend bought me.
`You want to do what?'
“So why exactly are we eating outside?” Sango asked squinting her eyes and getting out pink sunglasses.
“I personally like the sun.” Miroku said throwing his lunch onto the table. “The park is nice this time of day and since we are celebrating me and Kagura then we should eat where we choose.”
“Excuse me but I never said I wanted to eat at the park. I just said I wanted some Subway and I was happy.” Kagura said putting her two cents in.
They sat and began eating. Kagura noticed Kagome standing over by the pond, a ways away. Maybe she wouldn't see her and Kagura wouldn't have to be nice again. Kagome had made the part of Emma as Kagura had thought. She seemed sort of airy but she was really good. She snuck a glance at Inuyasha but he didn't notice her. Not surprising since his Big Mac was so enthralling. Probably for the best, she looked too much like Kikyo for her tastes. She grimaced; he's probably going to interpret it as a sign to talk to Kikyo again.
A scream brought her out of her thoughts. “Miroku, if you touch me again, I'll break your hand.”
“Oh, Sango, how can say that? You know you like it just as much as me.”
Kagura eyed him, “Stop it or I'll break your fingers.” Sango wasn't her closest friend but Miroku needed to stop these perverted attitudes. They were starting to piss her off.
“Miroku, stop being a lecher.” Inuyasha snorted coming out of his sandwich zone, “Don't you ever wonder why you don't have a girlfriend?”
“It's a simple reason. I merely cannot commit myself to one woman. That would be unfair to the rest of the women. There would be chaos because all the women of the world would be going insane wanting me.”
Kagura threw her hands up and acted as if she was being pushed away. “Ow, can't breathe.” She mocked pushing at some invisible force, “Your ego, it's grown too large. It's pushing me away.”
Inuyasha laughed and mimicked Kagura. Sango giggled loudly and Miroku turned a little red, “I cannot help but speak the truth.”
As Sango was trying hard to continue breathing a blonde walked up to their table. Kagura could have sworn she was bouncing as she walked. `Resisting the urge to twitch. Resisting the urge.'
“Hi.” She said brightly. Everyone just stared except Miroku who waved rather enthusiastically. She wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or really was excited that the large breasted twit was standing within view of his wandering eyes.
Her eyes zeroed in on Inuyasha, “You're Inuyasha, right?”
He nodded, more interested in his fries. “So, what of it?”
“Well, I was wondering if you want to ditch your friends and come with mine. We're going out to my daddy's country club.”
Inuyasha looked a little nervous, “Um . . . I don't think so. We're kind of celebrating.”
“So.” She shrugged, “Celebrate later.”
That didn't work. Yasha tried another tactic. “It's nice of you and everything but I'm with Kagura.”
The girl looked at Kagura, “Her?” She eyed her for a second. “So she can't be that great. Come with me.”
At that point the pop Miroku had been sipping came out his nose as he began choking with laughter. Sango patted him on the back as she tried to keep from laughing. Kagura stood up quickly, “Excuse me, you happy little hoe-bag. Could you repeat that? I didn't quite hear.”
The bright smile she was sporting turned to a look of disgust. “Wow. Are you as deaf as you are ugly?”
Miroku started choking more and Inuyasha scooted his chair back. “Listen, Bitch. I know you think you are all that and a bag of chips but you don't want to screw with me. I'll knock your little hoe ass to the floor. Just because some guy realizes that there really is no brain inside of that blonde little head of yours, it's really no reason to get your ass kicked.” She tilted her and made a little giggle, “Do you get it? Or should I cheer it for you?”
Unfortunately the girl realized she was being insulted. She shot her hand forward and grabbed Kagura's hair pulling her head down and bringing her nails to her face. Kagura knocked her hand away before she could do any damage. Since her head was near the floor, she reached out and grabbed her knees, knocking the blonde to the floor. Her head struck the floor and she looked up at Kagura surprised, rubbing the back of her head.
“Now what were you saying, hoe-bag?”
The girl said nothing. Instead she got up and walked away. Kagura turned and sat down at the table daring everyone to say a word.
Inuyasha decided to try to make conversation, “So she was nice.”
Kagura picked up her keys and threw them at his head. He ducked and caught them laughing.
“Kagura, where did you learn to fight like that?” Sango asked with Miroku still trying to breathe next to her.
“I took martial arts for like eight years. I just recently stopped because my sensei retired.” She said resting her head on her hand and looking down right angry.
Miroku finally continued breathing, “All I can say is that was really hot.” He commented wiping sticky pop off the front of his shirt.
Before Kagura could find something else to throw at him because Inuyasha was still holding her keys, Sango whacked him over the head. He feigned sadness as he rubbed his head, “You, women, confuse me. You say all you want this honesty and then when I am, I get injured. It seems like you are being hypocritical.” Sango raised her hand as if to hit him again, “But of course, maybe not.”
Inuyasha laughed, “Stupid pervert. Don't you realize that women are like cats? When you ignore them, they go insane and throw themselves on you but if you give them attention they crave. They say you are clingy and run away. There's a talent to it, you have to find that balance. No man has ever mastered it.”
“Inuyasha.”
“Yea?”
“Shut up.”
Inuyasha just grinned back at her. “You're just mad because you know that I am right.”
“Inuyasha.”
“Yes, dear?”
“Shut up.”
Inuyasha sat back with a smug look on his face. “Anyway, you guys should both be happy about your parts. I will actually admit to being proud of…” Inuyasha stopped looking off into the distance.
Miroku craned his neck. “What is it?”
Inuyasha shook his head, “It was… nothing, never mind.”
Kagura looked at him closely, “No, what did you see?”
“Nothing. Just that girl over there looked like Kikyo.” Inuyasha said getting back to eating his sandwich.
Kagura knew whom he saw. It was Kagome. He had had the same thought as Kagura when she first saw Kagome. Kagura wondered how that was going to affect him, depressed or interested? She couldn't decide which one she wanted less.
“Anyway, I'm gonna go. I want to take a shower before rehearsal, I feel kind of dirty.” Kagura said standing up. “You coming with me Yasha or you riding with Miroku?”
Inuyasha watched Miroku try to once again grab Sango's butt. “No, I think I'll go with you.”
“Miroku, honey, if you grab Sango's ass again. I'll make you eat your lecherous hand.” She said calmly as Inuyasha followed her out to her car. “Someday he'll grow up and realize that he's an idiot.” She mumbled to Inuyasha when they were out of earshot.
“I doubt that.” He said shaking his head. “Once a lecher, always a lecher.”
“No, Yasha, he's not.” Inuyasha eyed her, “I mean, yea, he's perverted but there's more to him than just that.”
One of Inuyasha's eyebrows shot up. “Really?”
She sighed, “Yes, really. You know I talk to him, too. Plus just a few days ago, he helped a girl from getting harassed by somebody.”
“Yea, so he could harass her himself.”
“Inuyasha, I'm being serious. He really is a good guy, just a little too hormone driven.”
“Yea, probably.”
Kagura rolled her eyes. He wasn't going to agree with her so she might as well let it go. Eventually he'll prove himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“You know I am really glad you and Kagura got those parts.” Sango said picking at her salad.
“Yea me, too. I haven't acted in a while. I miss it sometimes.” He said not really focused.
“Can Kagura act well?”
Miroku started laughing coming out of whatever reverie he was in. “Is Kagura a good actor?” He shook his head; “I don't think I've seen a better actor at such a young age.”
Sango smiled, leaning forward, “So you and Kagura have known each other for a long time?” Sango had come into their little circle just last year.
“Yea probably as long as Inuyasha. We all kind of just connected in Middle School. Kind of funny actually.” He said smiling.
Sango picked at her salad, “How'd you guys meet?”
“Um . . .” Miroku looked uncomfortable. “It's kind of a long story.”
Sango grinned. She could tell there was something he wasn't sharing. “So. We have time. Tell me about it?”
“Well you see when I was in Middle School I was, how you would say geeky.” Miroku said not looking her in the eyes.
“Oh come on, I'm being serious.”
“I am being serious.” He snapped at her. She looked at him shocked. “I had the large glasses and ugly clothes. Freckles and flood pants. You know, the works.”
Sango stared at him for a minute, her eyes watering. A choking noise came out and she started hysterically laughing. “I can't believe that. Are you absolutely serious?”
His face turned a deep shade of red, “Yes, I am. Geez, I tell you about my tragic life and all you can do is laugh.”
“Oh please, that's not tragic. That's happened to almost everyone although they don't usually turn into womanizers.” She covered her mouth and she put her hand down she had a straight face. “I'm sorry. I promise not to laugh at you anymore.” Her promise lasted about three seconds and she went into another fit of laughter.
Miroku sat there silently, his lip pouted out. He glared at her with accusing eyes making Sango laugh harder. She started to calm down when hiccups started in escalating her giggles. Tears streamed down her eyes and she wiped them away, “I'm sorry. Go on. Tell me how you guys met?”
He stared at her as if debating, “Fine but you have to promise to stop laughing.”
“Ok, ok, I'll stop.” She said calmly.
“All right so anyway we had gym together and Kagura and Inuyasha were already friends. I think we were playing hockey, field hockey I think it's called since we were playing in our tennis shoes. Anyway, I tried to get the puck and I actually got it. I was on cloud nine when I saw that no one was blocking the goal other than of course the goalie.” He said, reliving the memory.
“It was Kagura and trust me, she was just as mean then as she is now. I hit the puck really hard and it flew and hit her in the head and she fell to the ground. The next thing I knew, I saw a white haired boy come flying at me full force and knock me to the ground.”
Sango look wide eyed, “Your first introduction to Inuyasha was when he beat you up.” Her throat was making odd noises because she was trying to keep the laughter from coming out. “Anyway go on.”
Miroku looked at her with annoyance, “If I remember correctly, I think Inuyasha's first words to me were “If you hurt her, I'll rip your head off, fuck face.”
That did it. Sango lost it again. She put her face to the table, the crook of her elbow covering what little of her face was showing. She slammed her fist on the table attracting attention to herself but not caring.
“Are you quite done?”
Sango nodded, “Yea, I am. I'm really sorry. I can just see a mini Inuyasha flying at you. His little teeth bared and you probably wetting yourself.”
“I did no such thing.” He shook his head, “Anyway, Kagura got up and told Inuyasha to get off of me. He wouldn't so Kagura tackled him herself, picking him up by the hair and that's when the teacher noticed and sent us all to the office. There had been an accident in the lunchroom so we were in the office for like two hours. We started talking and well the rest is history.”
“That is so . . . cute.” Sango said excitedly.
“Are you insane?” He looked at her like she was crazy. “There's nothing cute about it. He threatened to rip my head off.” He said somewhat hysterically.
“He says that to everyone. When has he actually followed through with it?” She said, waving her hand in dismissal.
“You'd be surprised.”
“Anyway, it's fun to hear about you guys before I came around.”
“Glad you enjoy it because I'd rather not remember most of it.”
“Oh apish posh, it wasn't that bad.”
Miroku stared at her with wide eyes, “Yes. Yes it was.”
She giggled, “Anyway I have to go. I'll see you later, Miroku.”
“Wait a minute. Are you planning on walking?” He said standing up.
“Well yea, I just live down the street.” She said, “No big deal.”
“Let me drive you.”
She stared at him suspiciously.
He shrugged innocently, “I promise not to try anything.”
“Ok good,” she said smiling brightly. They drove mostly in a comfortable silence. Sango was wondering what had gotten into him. He was being somewhat normal. It was, well it was nice.
“Here we are.” Miroku stated as they pulled into her driveway.
She got out and leaned in before shutting the door, “Thanks for the ride. See ya later.”
“Wait a second, Sango.” She paused and watched him. He looked like he was searching for the right words. “Would you be interested in going out with me Saturday? There's a new restaurant opening that looks nice.”
Sango stared at him blankly and he began to look uncomfortable. Just as he was beginning to lose hope, she smiled again, “Sure that'd be great.” With that she shut the door and walked up her porch. Her last thought as she opened her door, `I've got him right where I want him.'
As Miroku pulled out and waved good-bye, he checked his watch. He had a half hour till rehearsal. He started whistling. `I've got that girl right where I want her. She wants me. There's no denying it.' He thought laughing.
