‘Um.’ That’s my intellectual excuse.

Summary: It started with Chocolate. And ended that way, too.

Rating: To be Anounced :D

Excuse: I bet you all want to hear about how I played DDR all Summer, and was Drawing way to much to be bothered to write. But then again, maybe you don’t.

Please don’t nag about Memory card Needed, either. It’s on HIATUS. Bwahhahaha.

“Sango.. Puh-lease?”

“.. Iie, Kagome-chan.” The girls eyes would narrow, as she scooted a little to the left, her friends eyes widening as she did so.

“But.. it’s so.. Yummy.” She protested, fingers hovering over the snack with a twitchy kind of air. Sango’s eyes narrowed, as she scooted once again to the side.

“No.”

“Bu-!”

“No.”

Slouching forwards onto the table, a young Higurashi Kagome would kick her feels of the ground and stare blankly in front of her, chin resting atop her uniform clad arms. Her closest friend, Sango, would sigh, and pop the last chocolate into her mouth, chewing it gingerly.. And eliciting a mumbled ‘nyah’ from her depressed friends lips, as she turned and looked the other way.

As weird as it sounded, this had been happening a lot lately, and Sango was far from sure if this was becoming an unhealthy habit for her poor friend. Sliding a bit back, the girl would fold her arms behind her neck, and narrow her eyes.

This happened whenever her friend was having guy problems. The only problem with that, Sango would note, is that the Higurashi girl didn’t have a guy to have guy problems about. But maybe that was it? or maybe she was just, eh, PMS’ing?

“Ohmygawd, Sango, look at Yura’s boyfriend!”

“Kagome-chan.. He wears makeup...”

“...”

Or not. Sango cracked a half hearted smile, before standing up from their lunch table, trying futilely to drag her friend up with her. Her only response was a string of mumbled curses, before Sango would resort to her last weapon.

“Kagome-chan?”

“Nani?” Dull glare was pointedly directed at the troublesome friend at this point. Why did she have to get up? There was no point in getting up. maybe if she had someone other than Sango to get up for.. Kagome then decided that thought process was just headed for the gutter, as she focused in on Sango once again

“-chocolate?”

“ Eh?”

Sango sighed, laughing nervously once again, as she managed to hook Kagome free of the Lunch table, and head towards the double doors.

The girl’s last boyfriend had really done it to her, Sango supposed. What was that guy’s name again? Hojou? yeah. Kagome and Hojou had seemed to be a match made in heaven, kind of like a fairy tale. And whenever they argued, Hojou would always bring her prettily decorated aluminum foil wrapped chocolates.

Hence.. Chocolate. Oh, how Sango hated Hojou whenever this happened. Moving on.. Hojou found another true love. Sort of. Actually, maybe it was the ‘inner Hojou’ who decided to fall in love with the punk rocker american, forcing himself to become one.

And where was Kagome when this happened? heart broken, and worried about gaining weight from all her chocolate consumption.

“Sango-chan?”

“Hmm?”

“I need..”

“A boyfriend?”

“Un, that too...”

Sango almost visibly fell over, as Kagome sported a blush. Sango seriously didn’t want to hear anymore about Chocolate. How many times had the author mentioned chocolate already? Sango remembered asking her friend why she was obsessive over the delicacy, after she insisted on being over Hojou.

“Ne, Sango-chan.. Chocolate is more reliable.. than.. a guy..” Le sob.

Which brought her back to her current situation..

Kagome needed a boyfriend. Of course, Kagome was one of those kind of girls, where you walk into a room, and al of a sudden the sappy ballroom music is playing as all the men turn to stare and gape, and the girls hate her with a fiery passion.

But, as of late, the boys seemed hesitant. Sango twitched, her eyes narrowing a bit, as she knew the reason why.

Hojou. Competition with such a good fling as that had been. And their intimidation was most likely also elicited by the chocolate as well.

There were only a few guys who were completely dedicated to Kagome now. First off, the ever loveable Hiten. Sango didn’t think he was that bad.. He even managed to get Kagome temporarily off chocolate, by bringing her licorice instead. But then Kagome started dipping it in chocolate, and the poor boy saw heart break.

There was Hojou.. But no. Never again. Chocolate boy wasn’t going near her while Sango was around. Twitch.

In fact, the only one Sango had ever warmed up to was Kagome’s childhood friend, Inuyasha.

Approaching the classroom door, Sango and Kagome would take their seats in the empty room, while Kagome placed a hand over her mouth to stifle a yawn. Sango smiled warmly at the girl, as her own chocolate gaze fixed towards a tree branch visible from the window.

Hm. Inuyasha. They’d supposedly known each other shortly after Sango and Kagome had become friends. Whenever a frightening dog came near, and Sango wasn’t around to bop it with her baseball bat, the boy would kick it away, earning a prized smile from the teary eyed girl herself. That was probably why Sango took a liking to him in the first place- They both had their friend in their hearts. Sango hadn’t known the boy very well, but according to Kagome, things had changed after a new girl had joined them

“Ne, Kagome-chan?” She’d mumbled, directing her gaze from the window and back towards her friend. Kagome blinked, looking curiously at her in response.

“Hai?”

“What ever happened to Inuyasha?” She asked a bit hesitantly.. watching the girls expression change, as she turned her gaze forwards. Kagome placed her chin in the palms of her hands, as she gave a sad smile.

“He has a new princess.”

Sango furrowed her brow for a moment, letting that statement sink in, before she remembered.

She remembered when Kagome used to tell her about how her and Inuyasha used to play a game about a prince and a princess. Naturally, Inuyasha was the valiant prince on his noble stead, while Kagome was the cheerful, carefree and romantic princess. She’d always find herself in some sort of trouble, or peril, or danger (Much like how she was in real life), and Inuyasha would always be there to come and rescue her with his enchanted sword.

Then, one day, a new girl joined them. Kikyou was a bit.. Spoiled, Sango would say, to put it lightly. One day, Kikyou had insisted upon being the princess in the tower, and Kagome was a bit shocked at the question.

“Hai, Kikyou-neesan! You can be the princess today!” But Kagome wasn’t allowed to be princess again after that. And Inuyasha didn’t care.

But, as that had been back in the first grade, Sango would have presumed that they’d patched that up.

“You haven’t talked to him since that, Kagome-chan?”

“He doesn’t want to.”

Obviously, not. After a few moments, Sango would sift through the depression hanging over them both, before her brow began twitching in irritation, as she slammed both hands upon her desk and stood up. Startled, Kagome stared up at her friend in concern, a question forming on her lips.

“Sa-?”

“Kagome-chan.”

“.. Hai?”

“.. Let’s both get some chocolate, ne?” She gave her friend a wry smile, as Kagome herself began to laugh lightly.

“Hai, Sango-chan.”

-=-=-=-

Whoever goes through this whole thing and counts how many times the word chocolate, or even a reference to the word chocolate was used, I’ll dedicate the next chapter to them x3.

Please don’t ask where this came from. I just felt like typing xX;
