What Sango Wants –
Part One: Zapped!
Important
A/N- 03/31/04
Okay...
Seeing as how I’ve been getting a lot of new reviews for this, quite a few of
them annoyingly unpleasant and immature, I’d like to remind everyone that I
wrote this quite a while ago, when I was still learning the basics of Inuyasha. For example, the fact that only Inuyasha and Kagome can go to Kagome’s time was lost on me.
As such, I apologize for the poor quality of the first few chapters, and I do
plan to edit this and make it more believable in the near future. Spring break
is next week, so we’ll see.
Disclaimer: Only in our
imagination. And this chapter is sort of slow, but the next ones will be funny.

"Oh, come on! It'll be fun!" pleaded Kagome, pouting at Inuyasha.
"No! We should be looking for shards, not going to some stupid party in
your time."
"It's a festival! Not a party! Besides, I'm in charge of the archery booth
for my school! I have to be there."
"But what about the shard rumors?!"
"We'll take care of them later. It's almost summer,
and this is the last big event of the year. Please?" she said, her
eyes filling with tears. Inuyasha's eyes grew wide.
"ALL RIGHT! Just don't
freaking cry!" The tears cleared instantly, and Kagome grinned.
"Okay!" Sango and Miroku
snickered behind their hands at this display.
"So, just what sort of festival is this anyway?" asked Sango from where she was sitting, petting a purring Kirara.
"Sports, mainly. They also have things like
martial arts, archery contests, sparring tournaments, even discus and other
Olympic sports. Things like that. You guys could even participate, since they
provide the supplies needed." Sango decided it’d
be easier not to ask what Olympic Sports were.
"All right. When is this?"
"Tonight."
"WHAT?! BUT THAT'S-"
"Inuyasha, osuwari."

A few hours later, the group found themselves in the midst of a bustling
festival. People bustled around, crowding around the various booths and along
the paths. The sights, sounds, and smells were all somewhat bewildering. When
Kagome announced that she had to go meet at her school booth, her companions
weren’t exactly comforted by the idea that they’d be on their own.
"Sorry guys, but I'll meet up with you by that fountain in an hour,
ok?" Sango and Miroku
nodded resignedly, but Inuyasha had something else in
mind.
"I'm going with you."
"What?"
"I want to see what you're doing, since we have to be here instead of
looking for shards."
"But- Oh, fine!" With that, the two marched
off, bickering as they went. They didn't even notice they were leaving Miroku and Sango behind. Together. Alone. They stood
in silence for a long moment, considering the situation. Sango
did not trust the smirk on the houshi's face.
"Well, since we only have an hour, let's go look around," she
muttered after a long moment.
"Ladies first," he replied. She raised an eyebrow.
"You walk in front." Sighing, Miroku
nodded. It figured she didn't trust him. But, that was his
own fault, wasn't it? He shrugged it off, taking in the setting. They
didn't talk much, save to point out the various oddities of the futuristic
time. (Did that person have blue hair?) After a while, the houshi
glanced at the watch Kagome had given him and told him how to read.
"Hey, Kagome-sama said an hour, right?"
"Hmmm? Yes. Why?"
"Well, it's been almost an hour."
"Already?" He nodded. "Well, then let's
find the fountain she mentioned." They fell into silence as they walked,
still taking in the strange world around them. When they finally reached the
fountain, they stood waiting for their two friends to arrive. Bored, Miroku couldn’t help but spot a wide-open opportunity. That
is, Sango was busy staring absent-mindedly into the
crowd...
It wasn’t like him to resist temptation, was it?
A moment
later, Sango jumped several inches into the air,
whirling around to slap Miroku. Surprised by her
faster-than-expected reaction, Miroku lost his
balance, stumbling backwards into the rim of the fountain. He fell in,
collecting gasps as his foot knocked a stereo that was sitting on the fountain
into the water with him.
The electricity shot through the water, and Miroku
could have sworn he heard someone scream his name as he passed out from shock.
Fortunately, someone had the sense to pull the plug to the music player,
yelling it was safe to pull him out. Sango
immediately proceeded to do so as Inuyasha and Kagome
arrived at the scene.
"Oh! What happened Sango-chan?!"
Kagome exclaimed as she saw her friend shaking the prone monk. The taijiya didn’t bother to respond.
"Damn it Houshi-sama! Wake up!" she
whispered, shaking him some more. Kagome gently pulled her away from him.
"Sango! Stop! We have
to get him to my home before any paramedics get here! They'll ask a ton of
questions that won't be easy to answer. Inuyasha, get
Miroku-sama." The hanyou
nodded, picking up their friend and they hurried off, Sango
in a daze.
