InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Troubles ❯ One word ( Chapter 1 )

Technically, it was Miroku's fault. He was the one who introduced us. Of course, my idiotic twin brother is the one who always gets me in trouble. And this was like any other time, except worse…

 

That day was perharps the worst day in the history of my college life. I woke up late because my alarm clock broke and I never got around to getting a new one. Rushing to get ready, toothbrush in the mouth and everything, I realized that I had no clean jeans. Sango did laundry last night, but I forgot where I put it. There was nothing else left for me except an old, blue miniskirt, that barely covered my butt,which was definitely going to freeze off later in the day. But there was nothing else to do, so I grabbed my bag and books, and pulling a black sweater on, I ran to class.

 

As if my morning could not have been any worse already, two of my proffesors casually reminded of two papers that were due next week. One of them has been started and forgotten, and the other one was number twelve in my “Future Projects” list.

 

I came home at five, tired, cold and pissed off. When I say “home”, I'm actually referring to a dorm room I share with Sango. Since we are both clean freaks, our “home” is spotless, and people actualy come to see it as if it's a museum or something. It's not, I just can't focus when I don't know where things are. I swear, this morning has been an exception. Sango's like that too.That's why we're perfect roomates.

 

Sango wasn't home yet, and so I decided to make dinner. If there's one thing I can do well,it's cooking. I'm just naturally good, I don't know why. I enjoy it and it calms me down when I'm upset. Humming softly my latest favorite song, I opened the refrigerator. That's when it happened: I heard the piercing ring of our phone. I cradled the annoying thing between my shoulder and ear:

--Hello?
--About time you picked up,Kags.

Undesputably my lovely twin.

--Ok,nice to hear your voice too. What's up?

Actually, Miroku is my best friend.The only other person I love as much as I love him,is Sango. Sure, Mir can be a pain in the neck, but we're friends. We spent hours on the phone every day,telling each other our problems and cracking jokes. When we were in high school,we were known as the “Party Twins”. We were the life of every party ever hosted. Somehow, we completed each other. I was always a little shy and studious, and Miroku was social and popular. Top it off with the identical looks we have, despite being fraternal and of different sexes, and we were the most popular kids at school. Or should I say “kid”. Because of that, we were always treated as one person: Mirkags, as we were referred to. However, I decided to be my own person in college, and center my life more on school. `Too bad it isn't working,'- I sighed heavily.

--Hey.What's wrong, Kags?

Another thing Miroku is good at aside from partying and getting girls, is picking up moods right away. There was nothing to it, so I told him.

--Sounds like you need a little time off,sis.

Of course, he takes time off 24/7 and I'm surprised he doesn't have AIDS yet,with the whole sleeping with a new girl every night thing.

--I can't.The only thing I can do is just work my butt off on those papers.

Miroku didn't like that idea, work meant working on a new lay,not school.

--Aww,c'mon.A good party is the key!Listen, prove me that we are still THE Twins, and come with me tonight.

That's when I should have said `no'. Loud and clear. No.One syllable. It wasn't too late.But ..but!The offer sounded so good!A party!!Though I'm not Miroku, I love a good party. It's been too long since I've gone out and I missed it.Alright, I'm not all shy. I picked some things up from Miro,ok?

--I don't know, I shouldn't.

--It's too late to finish anything tonight anyway. I know you can't think after five. Please?I haven't seen you for two days!I even forgot I have a sister!

--Gee, thanks!And it's only been a day since you've emptied our refrigerator,you starving beast!

--Aww,but you know you're food's so good, I can't resist it!

--HA!Funny, because Sango cooked that night,you suck up.

--By the way, how is my love?

Miro's had a crush on my roommate ever since he's laid eyes on her. But this is the only girl that he's shy about.

--Ask her out and you'll find out!

--So, what time do you want me to stop by to pick you up?
--What makes you think I'm coming?
--Well,aren't you?

--Yea.I guess.What times is it?

--Gotcha!!I'll be there at seven,it's pretty formal,so dress nice!!Laters!!

I sighed.I could feel it was going to be bad.

--Later.Twinster.
