The Mine Coffee Shop (Friday)

"How does it look, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked, coming out of the Mine Coffee Shop's women's restroom. She spun around once to model and Kagome clapped her hands.

"Very nice!" Kagome cheered, putting her hair up again as she always did for work. Sango brushed off the dust from the green uniform skirt, seeing how it had been in a closet with all the others. The uniform consisted of a white collared blouse with a green knee-length skirt with black shoes and white stockings. Pretty average.

"How was your second class, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked as she pinned the pin she received that read, "Hi, my name is Sango!" onto her shirt.

Kagome turned on the faucet and washed her hands with a pink liquid soap, "It was all right," she rinsed off the suds and turned the faucet off, grabbing a dish towel to dry her hands. "I miss him."

"Huh?" Sango dipped her hands in the sink, "Who?"

"His name is InuYasha." Kagome sighed, putting some spare mugs into a cabinet in the back room. "He's really sweet once you get to know him."

"He isn't the guy with the anger problem, is he?" Sango asked.

Kagome gulped.

"You mean the one with the dead fiancé?"

"..."

"And the jealousy issues?"

"..."

"Kagome-chan, he does have some good points, right?"

"Sure he does," Kagome smiled, breathing out softly, "He's sweet, and protective, gentle, and kind. And he seems so misunderstood." Sango walked over to the other side of the room to throw away the paper towel she used and Kagome sat down on the counter. "But he still hasn't let go about his dead fiancé."

Sango nodded, although she did not understand the situation completely. Looking up at the wall clock, there was still five minutes before she and Kagome had to start working. "Where did you meet him?"

Kagome started giggling softly, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear, "Believe it or not, in the woods!"

Sango smiled sweetly, "Almost like a fairy tale, huh Kagome-chan?" They both laughed.

"I don't know if he's the Big Bad Wolf or Little Red Riding Hood!"

"Huh?" Sango closed the cabinet that she was putting the spare mugs away. She took over after Kagome sat down on the counter.

Kagome gave a bright smile, "He's wears a lot of red. But what makes him the Big Bad Wolf is..." Kagome leaped off of the counter, whispering into Sango's ear, "...he's half dog demon!"

Sango blinked a few times, "Well, I, uh, that sure is different, Kagome-chan. But I'm sure it will all work out okay."

Kagome nodded as they exited the back room to go do their part time job - serving coffee and pastries.

'Kagome-chan is lucky,' Sango thought, pouring some cappuccino for a Japanese businessman. 'She has two guys that want to date her. Well, only one is sure, but still.'

'Do you want a boyfriend?' Her conscience asked as she went over to another customer to refill his coffee.

'I... I'm not sure.' She received a sly smile from the older customer and she snorted and walked away, 'Maybe not.'

Sango sighed, sitting down on a couch next to a window. She watched the setting sun. 'But someday, I hope I find the one for me.'

The Apartment of Kagome Higurashi

Kagome collapsed on her couch and turned on the news. Nothing really interesting. She sighed deeply, turning it off to go get a drink of water.

She stopped to answer the door, "Higurashi resid-oh, InuYasha! Is there something you needed?"

"Hi," he gave a shy smile, "actually, there is." Kagome led him in, telling him to sit down on the couch as she got him something to drink.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah, actually, you see it's my fiancé’s Aunt Kaede." InuYasha started.

Kagome always wrinkled her nose whenever he said "my fiancé."

"You see, sometimes she gets really sick, but when she's not it's like she's twenty years younger. Well, I used to take care of her, but ever since Kikyou's been gone I just can't stay there anymore and so I need someone to come visit her everyday to make sure she is okay."

"Ah..." Kagome opened her mouth, not wanting to refuse a feeble old lady.

"I know you have archery classes already, but Kaede is a great archer and I thought that instead of going to college you could just have Kaede train you."

"I suppose that would be better." Kagome smiled, brightening to the idea. "So can I see her this weekend, just to make sure I can give up my current college for her?"

"Yeah, that'd be great! Thanks, Kagome!" InuYasha looked down at his watch, "Hey, I'll call you tomorrow, okay? I have to get home."

"Bye, InuYasha." Kagome waved, seeing him walk down the apartment steps.

Outside of the Apartment of Kagome Higurashi (Friday)

InuYasha sighed. "I kind of feel like I forced her to do this," he whispered.

"Who do you speak of, little brother?"

InuYasha growled, clenching his fists, "What the fuck do you want!?"

Sesshoumaru gave a short chuckle, "Are you trying to replace your departed Kikyou?"

"No. Why the hell do you care? It's none of your fucking business, anyways!" InuYasha now decided he was really pissed.

"All This Sesshoumaru needs is to lose his job teaching all sorts of students, including demon slayers, because of his idiot half-brother whoring himself around Tokyo."

InuYasha shivered in anger, "What!? I'm not, asshole. Why do you have that job, anyway?"

"As if I need to explain to a lowly half-breed." Sesshoumaru bit back, turning to walk over to his mansion, "Just don't cause problems for me or I'll have to kill you."

"Bring it on, asshole. Only wusses run away from a fight!"

"I'm not running away from a fight." Sesshoumaru paused, not bothering to stop walking or decrease his pace, "I'm walking away from an idiot."

"Sesshoumaru!" InuYasha hollered, chasing after him with his claws aiming straight for his brother's head.

Sesshoumaru chuckled softly, being aware that it wasn't going to be a long fight.

Tomari Fighting Academy (Monday)

'Phew, I'm not late. Still a minute before the bell rings.' Sango thought, entering the classroom. 'Hmm? Why does everyone have money on their desk?' Sango nervously took a seat, fully aware of the muffled chuckles of her classmates. Something was wrong with this picture.

That's when Sesshoumaru walked in, walking towards the center of the classroom. Sporting a large wound on his hand, his students said nothing as they gazed in awe as Sesshoumaru chuckled softly, skimming his eyes across the room. His hand was healing, but it was still blood red in color and very thick.

"Good. It seems like most students remembered to bring their money for the field trip."

'Oh, shit.' Sango gulped, noticing his eyes lock with hers.

"Do you have your money, Sato-kun?" Sesshoumaru approached her desk with one fluid movement.

Sango shuddered, "N-no, Inutaisho-sensei."

Sesshoumaru clamped onto her desk with his claws, "Why is that?"

"I... I didn't hear-"

"No, Sato-kun, I think you were too busy lipping my words." Her classmates looked at each other in confusion.

Sango began panicking, 'So he did know I was doing that...'

"Do you enjoy displeasing me, Sato-kun? You have already, and it hasn't even been two days."

"I..."

"I will deal with you later."

Sesshoumaru walked back to the center of the class, shaking a tin can before setting it down on his desk. "Place your money in here and exit to the front of the school and board the buses waiting. Those who coincidentally forgot will need to stay here, which it looks like is only our Sato-kun."

'What's going to happen now!?' Sango once again swallowed as Sesshoumaru watched the last classmate walk out of the classroom with an intact smirk on his face before he followed the student, closing the door.

Sango let her head fall down onto the desk as she whimpered softly, 'Am I in a lot of trouble?'

The Home of Kaede Takari (Monday)

x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

"You really do look like her, child." Aunt Kaede stated bluntly, pouring some steaming tea into Kagome's cup.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "So I've heard." She rested her forearm on the table covered with a pink table cloth as she raised the filled cup to her lips. "So you're not going to teach me anything today?"

Kaede laughed softly, "Do not fear, Kagome. I will teach you all you need to know tomorrow."

'All I need to know, huh?' Kagome drawled in her head.

"For now, I wish to learn more of you. Why is it that you agreed to take care of me in exchange for archery knowledge?"

"Well, for one, it's free."

Kaede grumbled a bit, then silently sipped her tea and waited for Kagome to continue.

"And, InuYasha seemed like he really wanted me to. I know the whole death of his fiancé is hard on him, which makes him feel uneasy to be here."

Kaede nodded a few times, getting up to retrieve some cookies, 'Yes, this girl will do. Oh, Kikyou, how she reminds me of you so..."

Tomari Fighting Academy (Monday)

Sesshoumaru walked back in, closing the classroom door. "So, Sango-chan, care to tell me what you were thinking yesterday?"

"W-what did you just call me?" Sango got up to leave.

"That's right, you weren't thinking at all." Sesshoumaru smirked evilly, freezing Sango in her spot. "Did you think you were going somewhere?" Sesshoumaru backed up, locking the door.

Sango gulped, "I-I-I'll k-kick you're a-ass if y-you try a-anything."

"What would ever give you that idea, Sango-chan." Sesshoumaru put on a wicked smile, going over to his desk and sitting down. "Sit."

Sango did what she was told. "Stop calling me that." She growled through clenched teeth.

"All call you whatever you want," Sesshoumaru put his feet up on his desk, "Sango-chan."

"Inutaisho-sensei, don't you think that's very unprofessional to address your students that way?" Sango snapped back, standing up again.

Sesshoumaru laughed softly, "Sango-chan, Sango-chan. If you were my student, you would be on that bus going to that museum right now."

Sango sat down on top of her desk, no longer caring to follow the school rules anymore, "I don't want to argue with you, Inutaisho-sensei." She folded her hands on top of her skirt, pretending to ignore the snort she heard come out of Sesshoumaru's mouth.

After about five minutes of silence, Sango opened her mouth. "Inutaisho-sensei," She glared over to him, who appeared to still have his feet upon his desk, resting his eyes, "were you planning on teaching me something today?"

One of Sesshoumaru's eyes opened, "Yes, actually, I was thinking about teaching you what you were supposed to be learning at the museum so you don't fail the test tomorrow."

Sango's jaw dropped, "And..?"

"And." He replied with a smirk, lifting his feet off of the desk, "I just changed my mind."

"What!?" Sango walked up to his desk, placing her palms flat on top of some scattered papers, "Inutaisho-sensei, be reasonable!" Her eyes fell onto his hands. Folded together they were, fully showing his wounds. "W-what happened to you?"

"Hmph, none of your business." He cleared his throat.

"Oh, I know. But that really looked like it hurt." Sango tried to touch it.

Sesshoumaru yanked it back, giving her a disgusted look, "What the hell are you trying to do!?"

"Sheesh, Inutaisho-sensei, I just thought it might need a bandage."

"I'm not a pathetic human like you!" He snapped, slamming his fist on the desk, "Whatever gave you the thought to try something like that!?"

"Well, sorry for caring about your wound, Inutaisho-sensei. Hmph." Sango started to walk back to her chair, "Since you're obviously not gonna teach-"

Sango's eyes widened when she felt Sesshoumaru grab her forearm, "Don't ever walk away from me when I'm talking to you, Sango-chan."

"W-why do you call me Sango-chan, anyways? What gives you the right!?" She mumbled as Sesshoumaru turned her around to face him. "And why are you doing weird things like that? Why is it me you choose to pick on? I'm not the only girl, you know!"

He started off in a sing-song voice - very creepy, "None of your business," but then his voice turned dark, "Sango-chan."

She jumped back a bit by the way he looked at her, 'Oh, noooo...' Her mind whispered, their eyes locked together, '...He's gorgeous...'
