Inu Kaiba: …Ooh. Where are those weapons? x) NOT NEAR ME. Don't hurt me. I HAVE THE AUSTRALIAN FORCES DAMMIT! Touch me and face the severe wrath of Rosey and Alice. You don't want that do you? Good. Now don't hurt me. By the way, I have a plot for this now. So sorry to those who liked the not much of a plot thing,
Semi-Charmed Kinda Life
For once, everything was going my way. Mrs. Depolo seemed to be having a day and for me, Sango Tajiya, that was definitely a good thing. The only bad thing about today was that Kanna seemed to have an obsession with albino Salamanders which, she had told me umpteen times, could actually talk to her.
So while, trying to concentrate on not talking to Kanna the crazy albino salamander girl, I was staring out the window and thinking of how boring life was. I mean, depending on what view you take, life is really, really complicated or simple.
If I thought about it, I agreed with both. It usually depended on my mood. I pulled my back down from the bag up above me on the bus feeling Kanna poke me.
"What do you think of me naming him Whitey?" She asked pointing to her white salamander stuffed animal and squashing her face in it with a squeal, whispering many declarations of cute into the fabric.
"Yeah." I said with a nod, not even paying attention. If you looked closer, you probably would have noticed my eyes were clouded over, deep in thought. I returned to the task of pulling my knapsack from the upper rack of the bus where everyone else's bags were, and retrieved my CD player from one of the smaller pockets. Slipping the head phones over my ears, I switched off the hold mode and pressed the play button.
Then I carefully returned the bag to it's place, after making sure we weren't going around a corner. I remembered what had happened to the last girl who hadn't been so careful. She'd been putting her bag back up with the others. When the bus turned the corner, the bag which hadn't been properly secured, fell on top of her head spilling all its contents on the floor and mortifying her for the rest of her days. Considering the fact that everyone saw what colour her bra and underwear looked like, since they had been going on a long trip, I can see why she changed schools.
After securing the bag tightly in its place I turned back to the window looking out at the sights of the world as sad, depressing music played in my ears. People who wanted to jump off buildings, people with too many problems, depressing songs written by depressed people who knew depression. Sometimes the depressing music helped especially when I was really depressed. But I'm depressed a lot of the time these days.
I faintly heard Miroku whispering in the background about strawberry panties. God, he and his stupid obsession with my panties. He just had to be such a fucking pervert. It was times like this I wanted to smash his skull through his breathing apparatus, mainly his neck, lungs and shoulders, but I hid my clenched fist.
Anger was not a solution to every problem, I told myself, choosing to look out the window and lose myself in the landscape out there.
Being in a bus with InuYasha was one thing, in fact it wasn't so bad when he behaved himself. Being in a bus, sitting beside InuYasha who was fighting with Kouga, was not a good thing.
"Dammit InuYasha! You get your paws off my Kagome!" Kouga roared trying to ounch InuYasha but not succeeding due to the fact that InuYasha caught the punch and deflected it.
"Guys!" I said, moving my palms, which were out flat around in the air a little bit. "Can't we talk this over?" Kouga's punch almost hit my face and I ducked.
"GUYS, DAMMIT THIS IS WHY I SAID STOP!" I snapped and they turned their attention over to me.
"Something wrong Kagome?" Kouga asked pausing with his fist halfway to InuYasha's head.
"Yeah, there's something wrong!" I snapped, waving my hands around in the air for emphasis. "You almost hit me!"
"I'm sorry Kagome." Kouga said, before resuming trying to punch InuYasha's face in.
Kikyou draped her arms over the seat, resting her chin on the back of the seat. "They're not going to listen to you, Kagome." She said. "You know how guys are, they're gonna treat you like a piece of property, especially since they act just like animals."
I sighed and clenched my hands into fists and finally relaxed collapsing with my head in my hands. If there was ever a mixed case of emotions, I was definitely one. I looked out the window, not realizing Sango was doing the exact same thing and heading for the exact same place as me, and tried to block out all the love, frustration, anger and other emotions I held for everyone crammed onto this tiny, smelly, cramped bus.
Never seemed to come so soon, even Sango commented on how fast they got there. The fact that they were only 1 or 2 hours away, even with traffic hung over her head and she realized she should have realized they'd get there sooner.
"Alright, I'm going to be putting everyone into groups. So when you hear your name, go stand with your group members."
"Group one, Houjyou Akitoki, Yuki Kinteri,Kaguya Hime andElla Ferr. Group two…" I trailed off listening to Mrs. Depolo read off names. I was already bored enough, did she have to make it worse? I tapped my fingers on the railing of the steps, bored out of my skull with all this waiting. "Group Eight. Sango Tajiya, Kanna Mirrere…"
I was too absorbed in my thoughts to realize I had been called, but Kanna wasn't too far off from reality. "Come on, she just called our names!" Kanna said grabbing my wrist and dragging me along while clutching Whitey tight enough to cut off it's circulation, if Whitey was real.
I stood over by Kanna as Mrs. Depolo read off the rest of the names for Group Eight.
"…Ayame Lunarie, and Miroku Houshi."
'M…Miroku? And Kanna?' I thought, and realized then and there how lovely it would be to beat the crap out of a teacher, specifically Mrs. Depolo. At least I could avoid Miroku with two other girls with me.
That's when Miroku snuck up on me, and kissed me. On the lips. And I had to admit, he was a damn good kisser.
"Mmm…" I got out. Inside however the warning lights were flashing like crazy. "SANGO YOU IDIOT, BEAT THE PULP OUT OF HIM."
So, loving to spoil mushy romance moments, I raised my fist and punched him in the face, specifically on the cheek, hard.
"Fuck you bitch. I was just being nice. God." Miroku bitched at me nursing his sore cheek with his palm.
"You dare him, didn't you?" I snapped at his friends, who were snickering and pointing at the two of us.
Mrs. Depolo walked over just then. "Sango Tajiya and Miroku Houshi, What is going on here?"
Miroku and I pointed at each other, and at the exact time blamed the other person.
"She punched me!"
"He kissed me!"
Mrs. Depolo rested her forehead in her hand and shook her head. "You guys would make the perfect couple you know…"
I blushed bright red, while Miroku held his hands palm up in the air and shook them around a bit. "You're just misinterpreting Mrs. Depolo. My friends just dared me, that's all…"
"Well leave Sango alone then. She doesn't want to be kissed for a dare, I think she'd rather get a real kiss, right Sango?"
In the span of a minute I'd gone from a shred of respect for my teacher to burning, intense hatred.
"I want him dead." I said as low as possible and Mrs. Depolo skittered away. Sango's wrath was something no one wanted, and right about now she was about to sic it on someone.
Finally, I calmed down long enough and walked over to Kanna. "Is this the new girl, Ayame?" I asked.
Kanna was talking to Ayame and letting her hold Whitey, while Ayame gushed about how cute the albino salamander stuffed toy was, and how she looked cute in white.
"Hello?" I asked, feeling as if I should take my anger out on them for ignoring me.
"Yeah this is Ayame. I think you might like her, because she's really nice."
"Hi." Ayame waved, with a little blush.
"Kanna, did you see what happen with Mir…" I said, completely ignoring Ayame.
"It was kind of hard not to notice, you guys had like everyone's attention. Now say hi to Ayame or I'll sic the evil, luck-less albino salamanders." Kanna said, giving me the evil eye.
"Sorry Ayame." I said dejectedly, then brightened up and said "Hi," giving her a little wave.
"Aw, don't be sorry. If that happened to me, I'd probably be just angry. Especially if I hated the guy like you do." She said, giving me a hug.
"Kanna, what did you tell her?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"Nothing really. Just that you hate him." Kanna said inspecting her nails.
"That better be all you said…" I said in a warning tone.
"Aw. Don't feel bad Sango-Chan!" Ayame said hugging me again. "If we wanna be best friends forever…" Saying that she entwined Kanna's any my fingers in her own. "Then we have to stick together. And that means no secrets."
Despite the fact that she seemed so fake, she was really nice and well it was so cute, I couldn't help it. Before I knew it I was telling her all about myself and Kanna and we were becoming fast friends.
After being punched in the face, hard I might add, by Kouga, the boys had stopped their fighting to check and see if I was okay. I followed this up by threatening that if they tried it again they were dead.
But finally after traveling by bus for a day and a half, a smelly and cramped bus I might add, we were there.
Grabbing my backpack, I turned and ran off the bus as soon as were stopped, not waiting for my classmates. I paid the fare we all owed, and told them I was with Jidai High, and headed inside.
I gazed around at everything before staring upward at the huge mineral display. The colour and tint of those rocks were beautiful, and I couldn't help but stare.
As I was walking backward, not daring to take my eyes off the huge lavender tinted rock, I bumped into someone.
"Oh my god, I am soooooooo sorry!" I said grabbing her forearm and pulling her up watching as she dusted herself off.
"I'm Kagome." I said hesitantly glancing around.
The girl stared at me wide-eyed. "I…I'm Sango." She said and that was all it took.
We stared at each other and at the exact same time raised our arms and pointed our index finger at each other, and asked the exact same question in unison. "Are you… Do I know you?"
Inu Kaiba: I kinda expect happiness, this was a whole page longer than last time and like, I don't know; 650 words longer. So be happy it was pretty long for me, especially since I already wrote something for Rosey-Chan today. I'm just generous (And insane enough to write when I'm so tired) Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to complete homework, and then I'm going to bed about an hour earlier than normal.
