#and then in the modern au its like :| idk sweetie. very funny to me as a contrast

[isaacathom]

im gonna elaborate bc i can only say the same thing on xitter so many times so :)

the core of the HS au is the study group - Kirsty, Delia, Filip, Noelle, and Zachary. these 5 come to be friends through a rambling chain. Noelle and Kirsty have been best friends since primary school, though only started officially dating recently. Through Noelle being a very academic-minded student, she befriends Zachary, a younger student in an advanced program that has seen them doing higher year level classes for a bit. Through Zachary, they're introduced to Delia, who is not in an advanced pathway but is doing a variety of fairly cerebral classes, like eng lit and physics, and so sharing a few of them with both Zachary and Noelle depending on context.

Filip comes in through Kirsty - the above chart is inaccurate, as both of them are on the school basketball team/s, and have been for a few years.

the study group is hosted at Kirsty's uncle's house, which is located pretty close to school. It started late the previous year and has continued into the final year for Noelle/Kirsty/Filip, with the latter only really being there when he's doing nothing else.

basic bit:

Noelle is a trans lesbian who recently came out to her family and got kicked out over it, now staying either with her girlfriend or with her aunt, who lives a decent train ride away. Her twin brother Quentin is very chiil, but her two younger siblings (Olivier and Marie-Louise) are nightmares in their own way. Noelle likes History and Physics, with a particular love in her heart for space and the stars.

Kirsty is a lesbian, staying alternatingly with her lovely family or with her uncle, largely because her family lives a decent clip away and her uncle is happy to host her and her friends. She's a social butterfly who makes friends easily, and loves to help. Study group was her idea, even though she's not remotely the most studious in the group. She's going business and econ.

Delia is a cishet woman who is, for lack of term, minmaxing her grades. She's deliberately taking the harder classes to bolster her percentages, and is putting in the work to make that successful, with varying results per class. She is also a deep lover of music and the arts, and so to make up for not taking near-any humanities classes (bad for percentages), she takes music lessons outside of school (piano and violin) and has performed in every school musical since she got here. English lit is the class she does best at.

Zachary is an enby who is the definition of a nerd. in an advanced pathway as well as balancing various extracurriculars, zachary adores learning more than most things, and loves to share their knowledge with their friends whenever possible. They work at their parent's secondhand bookshop, and like to volunteer for library events. They specialise in Eng Lit in particular.

Filip is a hot mess bi man who barely wants to be at school at all. He's at least a year older than his cohort due to having been kept down a year, and is very much trying to get the damn thing over with. He's on his P plates and drives an old Nissan Navara he got fifth hand off a guy. Clearly does not and has not lived at his parent's house in over a year, bouncing around wherever he can. Is doing an apprenticeship as a building carpenter, and only really enjoys sports classes.

The plot, such that it is, revolves around the year that N/K/F are in their final year. Over the summer Noelle came out to her family and got kicked out, and Filip came close to simply not returning to school at all, only being convinced to do so by members of the school basketball team (which includes Kirsty).

Early in the year, when the school holds auditions for that years musical, they get a disappointing turnout. To save the show, which Delia so adores doing, she works to convince the study group to all audition. Kirsty and Zachary do so eagerly, though its noted that Zachary is quite a wooden performer whose main strength is script memory. Noelle takes quite a lot of convincing, eventually agreeing on the proviso she gets a minor role with few lines. She tries her best, and Kirsty insists she has great stage presence once she forgets she's on it. Filip refuses doggedly, despite Kirsty and Delia insisting he greatly suits a particular role and would make a competent singer and dancer.

It takes the intervention of Ms Calliope Desmond, the musical's choreographer (and possibly director) to convince him that, okay, if you don't want to be on stage, you could help with suit building or as a stage hand? He agrees to that. He still ends up attending a lot of the rehearsals to support his friends, when he's able.

a few more people join the musical in some capacity off the study group - Zachary invites their younger sibling Paz to audition, and Paz's twin Shani will be involved in the orchestra as a member of the school band. Noelle's twin brother Quentin also auditions, "for fun", he says.

During the school year, Delia gets into an "incident", which she broadlt refuses to detail but evidently involves her, her dad, and her dad's car. After missing a week of school, she ends up in a very similar situation to Filip - crashing on whoever's couch is available. At some point, the two end up doing this together, leading to a widespread rumour that the two are dating. this is a change of pace from the two's usual dating rumours, which involving the leading man in the play and the center of the girl's basketball team, respectively. Filip, incidentally, is utterly unaware of any of these rumours and is decidedly NOT dating Delia.

there's also a sense that, over the course of the year, that things are not great in Zachary's house, but because of their age its a lot harder for them to simply 'fuck off' like 3/5s of the study group have done.

it probably sort of comes to this idea, for the group, that the way to make the year 'good' is for the musical to go incredibly well. its not even like they need to save a community theatre or whatever, there are no material stakes, its about what the kids need, cathartically. Filip even probably says at some point that he's mostly sticking around to see the musical through.

i think it does go well for them, ultimately. the sorts of issues happen that you expect with amateur theatre, people forget their lines and mess up their placements, miss their cues, whatever. delia possibly nearly misses the first night entirely until filip takes that busted navara and goes out of his way to pick her up or something. noelles sister marie-louise tries to sabotage the play is some orchestrated and nonsensical way that is ultimately self-destructive/gets others hurt, whichever is more interesting at the time. but things turn out alright. the musical goes well. by final night noelle has relaxed enough to be a better performer. zachary has had some specific 'liveners' introduced to their performance to make it less stiff. filip spends most of the show backstage helping people costume change and preparing set pieces for getting sent on stage. it goes well. its nice.

:)

A himbo boyfriend

Genshin masterlist

Xiao

- So confused. So so confused..

- He’s a really studious person. He scores 100% in almost all subjects and his knowledge is impeccable, so how surprising do you think it is when you see the dude thats famous in your school for being an absolute drag and always getting gold medals in academic competitions dating the girl who literally fails 3 subjects each semester..?

- He doesnt think its funny or worrying hes just lost.

- Your pretty, pink, and dumb. Thats your thing but he cant help but force you to study-

“….love, what is this?”

“Hm? Math and science? Yeah what about it?”

“How did you get an F on both of them..”

- he loves you to pieces but your gonna need some hella tutoring from this guy

- He will not admit it but he finds it sort of cute watching you get all dolled up for literal tutoring and crying halfway through cause your nail polish is chipped

- It always cheers him up for some reason, watching you be as carefree as you want, not worrying about grades at all

“Xiaooooo!!!! Can you do my math homework?” You bat you pretty eyelashes and pout at your boyfriend thats currently studying. “Do it yourself.” “I need to get my nails done though!”

You dramatically sigh and you frown, twirling your hair while staring at him with your doe eyes. “.. fine.” (He was gonna do it anyways-)

- If anyone calls you dumb he’ll beat them up <3

- There was this one time where a group of girls commented on how you were always dressed up and how idiotic you are and he ruined their life(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Diluc

- Worried, confused, sick of it.

- Every time you do something dumb he just facepalms and sighs loudly. He’s strict and very smart, a teacher favorite if you must. He’s apart of a well known very wealthy family, everyone expected diluc to go out with an elegant and serious woman, but nope!

- He chose the girl that forgets how to pronounce numbers sometimes!

- He finds you so adorable and he loves you more than anything in the world but sometimes it worries him when he sees you so oblivious to everything around you.

- If he finds you too annoying he’ll give you a stack of cash and tell you to go shopping or something !!!

- From anyones perspective it literally looks like he’s your sugar daddy-

- Despite how he is hes so soft for you, even more since your so goddamn oblivious and gullible. It lights a fire in him and he becomes extra possessive whenever someone is around you, even more than xiao tbh-

- Your dumb and he doesnt exactly care but he cant help but feel so defeated when he hears you ask dumbass questions

“DILUCC!!!!! THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!!”

“Hm? Yes? Whats wrong dear?”

“WHATS A TRIANGLE?”

- he stares at you like 🙁

- Dont get me wrong he’ll answer every question you ask him. He actually becomes way more studious and pays more attention to class because he knows you wont. So whenever you ask him a question regarding class or a subject he’ll know straight away and answer you!

- Its so cute—you can catch him in the library going through books and writing down notes on a separate notebook so he can give it to you

Scaramouche

- hes so sick of your shit—sweetie he adores you, your the only person he genuinely loves but he is so done with your shit.

- He’s a very intimidating person, especially in school. He competitive, aggressive and has this violent aura to him. No one really approaches him, so it was surprising even to him when he fell head over heels inlove with the dumbest girl in the entire school. He’s super reserved to everyone who isnt you

- The guy acts so annoyed when you ask stupid questions or complain about your hair and or outfits, but he actually really likes it-

- He feels so smart and superior whenever you ask him a question regarding school and he’ll ignore you for a day if he catches you asking anyone else about the homework

- He teases you and picks on you about how stupid you are but if it genuinely hurts your feelings he’ll stop and shout at himself in the mirror for the rest of the day 😆

- He knows your beautiful and it angers him so much when random creeps think they can take advantage of you simply cause your not as smart, he beats them up immediately btw <3

- If anyone is bothering you or saying your dumb he’ll tear into them. Physically and mentally— only he’s allowed to tell you you’re a dumbass

- All jokes aside he genuinely cares about if you pass your grade or not and tries his best to tutor you. He knows you wont listen to class so he has a separate notebook filled with notes specifically for you to understand, he’ll brush it off as backup notes but he really spent all night making sure he worded calculus in the simplest way possible for you.

- He’s also extremely possessive, hand is always around your waist, or if hes around people he dislikes, like childe and or signora he’ll be extra touchy, he has some kind of thought in the back of his mind that childe would definitely try to flirt with you if he was gone, and tbh he would probably manage to succeed since your so oblivious

“Scara! Its an emergency!” Your heels clack on the marble floor and your boyfriend drops his pen and immediately stares at you in slight worry. Your terrified face worries him as you writhe

“Huh?! Whats wrong?” He stays on chair, raising an eyebrow as you race to him on the verge of tears.

“M-my nails broke! And they were so expensive too!!!” You cling to him on the verge of tears as he stared into space blankly.

“Ugh.. i’ll give you some money to fix them tomorrow… just sit on my lap and be quiet for a second— you scared me..” he muttered the last part as he pulled you onto his lap, deadpanning at your broken pink nail.

This or That: Fanfiction Edition

I was tagged by @thoughtsaboutshows​, thx u, sweetie!!

Slow burn or love at first sight: hahah okay, I’m still like the 10 years old me obsessed with wattpad that wants to know since the very beggining something’s gonna happen and not only crying for them bc they look cute and they’re not together (omg haha that’s what never happened with nabrina, it was a slow burn for sure and I loved that on them)

Fake dating or secretly dating: Gosh, I love to see ships growing up while they’re kind of denying those feelings haha and that happens a lot in fake dating while in secretly dating you already know they’ve confessed each other, I love drama lmao

“Oh no, there’s only one bed” or long distance correspondence: LMAO I’m not lying when I tell u’all that haha I´ve got a crush and I’m currently having these fantasies where idk why we go to a hotel and this happens, I’m part of the fan community and it shows.

Hurt/comfort or amnesia: Well, I guess that in a certain way amensia hurts less than hurt/comfort and it’s actually pretty emotional, anyways I believe both work out together awesome, like first we have the hurt stage, bad things happen and its almost hard to believe they’re getting back together most of the cases because of the pride but then let’s have a amnesia stage where they rebuilt this relationship since the beginning, that´s poetic cinema, change my mind.

Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers: I’m kind of tired of the enemies to lover stories but I have to mention they’re pretty interesting, best friends to lovers it’s sometimes expected but natural at the same time i guess, am I dying for a stage where Nick and Sabrina get to be super confident to each other and bfriends? Yeah, I’d love to! (and then they get married for sure cof cof nabrina endgame)

Mutual pining or domestic bliss: Gosh, this one is hard so I’ll leave it like BOTH

Smut or fluff: BOOOOOOOOOOTTTTHHHHHHH

Fantasy au or Modern au: I don’t usually read modern au, just in the case when it’s about tv series/movies with a modern world obviously but I truly identify that writers on bot au have to be very talented to get to something, even more with the modern au given that maybe they don’t have a lot of resources as the fantasy ones bc they can create a lot of things (but related obv or it gets ridiculous), anyways I live for the fantasy au

Alternative universe or future fic: Both, sometimes when things are getting dark or not in the way I enjoy you can live through the alter one or if things are perfect you wanna see more and go through the future fic or viceversa, I’m currently dying for the alter one rn with Nabrina

Kid fic or Road Trip fic: I’m currently on the road trip, they’re so funny and I’m truly watching the screen without blinking and crying lol but I usually change my mind and get back to the kid fic, I guess it’s fair

Canon compliant/missing scenes or fix-it: I can’t decide, both are necessary for this emotional heart of mine haha

Reincarnation or character death: You don’t have any idea how much do I love reincarnation, interesting, romantic, everything, if you have stories like that tell me pls

One-shot or multi chapter: I guess it depends on my mood but I usually go more for multi chapter

Time travel or isolated together: Back to the future is my fav movie ever but I hate time travel bc that’s so freaking confusing at least for me like in Part 3

Arranged marriage or accidental marriage: I guess arranged marriage it’s so cruel haha it can be funny in a fic but I don’t really connect haha

Sci-fi au or magic au: the m a g i c one, I’d die for them

Neighbours or roommates: Hahaha the roommates one is really funny and intimate, I love to read that, ps: If I get to live that I could probably run because yeah its funny for the reader but not really for the character I guess or at least for my shy ass

Body swap or gender-bend: omg what haha I don’t know any of both but now I’m interested for both haha

Angst or crack: It hurts but sometimes it gets to be a fantastic process...like Nabrina is going to be hehe

Apocalyptic or mundane: I love the apocalyptical one but sometimes it’s just too much, like part 3 haha I got a headache with all those problems, I just want something normal actually happening in the middle of all that

Nominating @sbrinascratch and anyone that wants to do it!

Enjoy!

 Hey, I have a kind of personal question for you

InuYasha rubbed his tired eyes and stretched. He had been staring at his laptop for the last 3 hours straight trying to finish this damn midterm paper. The sound of his phone buzzing caught his attention. Who the hell would be texting him at 2 a.m.? Miroku was downstairs with the other idiots watching some stupid Netflix show he never could get into about a women's prison. The goofy grin that spread across his face upon seeing her name was completely accidental, or so he would tell you.

 Shoot

 What happened to your mom? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I was just sitting here thinking about it and I realized you never told me how she died. But it's totally fine if you don't want to tell me. I swear.

InuYasha almost laughed out loud at her obvious text babbling. It's cool. She had breast cancer.

 Oh sweetie I'm so sorry. It must have been so hard to lose her that way.

 Honestly, it wasn't long after her diagnosis. She was already stage 4 by the time they caught it. They tried everything they could but a month later she was gone. It was hard. Still is. I miss her a lot. She was my rock

 Yeah. I don't know what I would do without my mom. She's the kindest woman ever. She's always supported me in everything. You never mentioned your dad though?

 He died when I was a baby. I never knew him.

 Wow.

 Yeah. Hey what are you doing up anyway? I thought you had to work this weekend?

 I do. Couldn't sleep. My brain just won't shut off.

 Missed me that much in 24 hours?

 You're incorrigible

 Always

 You don't have a humble bone in your body do you?

 Maybe one

     *    eyeroll emoji      *  

 What time do you have to be up?

 In exactly 2.5 hours. I have to catch the 5:45 train to get there on time.

 Jesus woman! Go to sleep!

 I already told you I can't

 Do I need to come over and sing you a lullaby?

InuYasha regretted that the instant he hit send. She would definitely think he was total creepy bastard now.

 Lol. You don't know where I live

He hesitated before typing again. Fine. I'll call you. I hope you like shitty renditions of twinkle twinkle little star.

     *    a series of crying laughing emojis      *  

 Can't be worse than my little brother trying to sing to our cat Buyo.

 You have a brother?

 Yep

 Me too. Well a ½ brother. Older. And an asshole.

 Oh yeah? Ever talk to him?

 Not really. Like I said he's an asshole.

 Got it. Foxy doesn't like his big bro

InuYasha's eyebrow quirked. Foxy?

 Ummm... yeah???

 What is that?

 Ummmm

 Your name?

 Is it now wench? ;)

 Ha. Ha.

 Hey, what do you call me?

 Catwoman

 I suppose that makes sense.

 Why do you call me Foxy? ;)

 Because of your       costume  

 Suuuuuuure

 You're obviously delusional

 Am I?

 Severely.

 Well you're the one talking to me at 2:45 in the morning

 Yeah. I know. I need a padded room next to yours

 So I can sing twinkle twinkle for you?

 OMG stop! I'm going to wake up my room mate!

 Sorry...

 You really should get some sleep wench.

 I know.

 Night Foxy

 Night wench

InuYasha couldn't sleep after that. He felt guilty for keeping her up, even though she had texted him first. Inane images scrolled past his eyes as he delved into the internet black hole, searching for something to occupy his mind. Finally, when he realized it was about 5 minutes past the time she said she had to be awake, he decided to make sure she had gotten up ok.

 Wakey wakey wench

Kagome groaned aloud at the sound of her alarm. She tried to roll over and go back to sleep but then her phone dinged.

 Don't wanna

 C'mon. You gotta. That job you love so much is beckoning

 Damn you

 You're cranky in the morning ain't ya?

 Only for people who won't let me sleep

 But you have to go babysit brats

 Uggggh. Fine. I'm up. Happy?

 Are you actually up? Like out of bed?

 Kagome put her feet on the floor next her bed.  Yes...

 Don't believe you

She sent him a picture of her feet on the floor.

 Sexy

 Shut up jerk

 Get ready for work wench

 I would if someone would quit distracting me

 I'm distracting huh? ;)

 You're maddening

 Only for you wench

 I'm getting dressed now

 I'll be right over

 Ha. Ha.

 Again, I remind you, you don't know where I live

 I'll sniff it out

 Very funny

 Seriously, I'm up and getting dressed now

 Go back to sleep

She pulled off her nightclothes and tossed them in the direction of her hamper as she made her way over to the closet. Pulling out a sweater and jeans, she made her way back over to the bed where she'd laid her phone.

 Never did

 What? Why?

 Just distracted

Kagome wasn't sure what to make of that, so she decided to ignore it as she pulled the jeans up over her hips. Then go to sleep. Weirdo.

 Only after I know you get to work ok

 You're nuts. I won't get there for another hour!

 So?

 Go to sleep.

 Nope. Gotta know you're safe.

The sweater made it's way over her head and down to her waist. Overprotective much? She grabbed her hairbrush and set to work on her tangled mane.

 Only of cheeky wenches

 Oh now I'm cheeky?  The hairbrush returned to her nightstand.

 Yep

Kagome picked up her purse and keys before quietly exiting her room. I'm leaving now. Go to sleep

 I told you, not til you're at work

Kagome didn't respond during her 20 minute walk to the subway station. She hoped he would fall asleep waiting for her to text back. No such luck.

 Oi wench! Where'd you go?

 To the train

 Hahaha

 Cheeky wench

 You on the train?

 I am now.

 Good. How long of a ride is it?

 20ish minutes

 What do you normally do on the train at too damn early o'clock?

 Lol. Well, listen to music, or read. Sometimes I people watch but there aren't too many people on the train this early on Sunday.

 People watch?

 Yeah. People will do the weirdest things when they think no one is watching them. I've seen people practically doing it right in front of me before

 Doing what exactly? ;)

 Shut up

 Never wench

 You make it too easy

 Do I now?

 Yep.

 Will you just go to sleep?

 You at work?

 No

 Then I'm gonna go with no

 How did I see that coming?

 Idk maybe because I've said it like 1000 times already

 Alright alright I get it.

 '  Now approaching 10      th     street station' came the automated voice over the loudspeaker. Kagome stood and slid her phone into her pocket to keep it from falling out of her hand as she exited the train. Since the station was nearly deserted it was easy for her to maneuver her way out to the street to make the short walk to work. Once outside, she saw that the sun was now fully on the horizon, creating beautiful hues of pink and orange. Stopping for a moment, she smiled and took it all in. The crisp autumn air whipped her raven locks around her shoulders. Seeing the sun between the trees, Kagome couldn't resist the urge to snap a photo with her phone and send it to her new self-proclaimed watchdog.

 Isn't it so beautiful Foxy?

 Just like you wench ;)

Kagome snorted as she walked and texted at the same time. You don't know what I look like

 Sure I do. Long black silky hair, eyes the color of dark chocolate, ivory skin. See? I know

 Still, you've not seen my face

 Don't have to

She didn't know how to respond to that. Lucky for her though, she rounded the last corner before coming up to Yoro North's front door. She took a picture of her hand opening said door and sent it to him.

 All safe. Please sleep now? I'd feel awful if you didn't get any sleep because of me

 Not your fault wench. I'm a big boy. But I promise I'll close my eyes now. Have a good day at work.

 Thanks Foxy. Sweet dreams!

Kagome tucked her phone back into her pocket as she walked right past Ayame's death glare without giving the girl a second glance. As she stepped around the corner to make her way back to the classroom, she found herself cemented smack dab into Koga's chest.

“Whoa there, sweetheart!” He said as he grabbed her shoulders and gently pulled her back. “You alright?” He asked, genuine concern in his voice.

Kagome shook her head to clear the fog from having the wind knocked from her slightly. Looking up into his sky blue eyes, she didn't miss the smirk that crossed his features at her antics. “I-I'm fine, Koga. Thanks. Hey, actually there was something I wanted to run by you if you've got a minute?”

“Sure thing, darling. Step into my office?”

Kagome had noticed his use of several terms of endearment in the last few days, but she didn't mind it so she didn't say anything to her new boss about it. Instead, she walked into his office and sat herself down without being prompted. Koga came around her to sit himself on the edge of his desk, crossing his arms lazily and smiling down at her.

“What can I do for ya, love?”

“Well, I've noticed that we don't ever take the kids anywhere outside of this building and its grounds. Is there a reason for that?”

Koga's face took a decidedly less happy appearance. “Kagome, this building is all that stands between these kids and the outside world. Humans aren't exactly welcoming to our kind, with the exception of the rare person such as yourself. We don't take the kids anywhere for their own protection but also for yours. You've seen how they can be with eachother. Imagine if they did that to a human? The backlash would be catastrophic.”

Kagome frowned. “So, they never get to leave here? Ever?”

“We occasionally take them to other facilities to interact with other children, but for the most part, yeah, they stay here.”

“And it's absolutely out of the question to take them to say a park?”

Koga's eyebrow quirked up in interest. “A park? Kagome, we have outside areas here for them.”

“I know that, Koga, but they should interact with other kids. Even human ones. I think it'll be good for them to socialize outside of their comfort zones. Some of them desperately need it. Besides, imagine if you were on the front lines of demon-human coexistence?”

Koga sighed deeply. “Kagome, I wish things were different but they're just not. I can't allow you to put the kids or yourself in that kind of danger. I'm sorry.”

The look of supreme disappointment that crossed her features nearly caused the wolf to cave. “If you say so, Koga. I'll go relieve Ginta and Hakkaku now.” She stood and exited his office with slightly slumped shoulders. She had been so sure she could convince him to let her take the kids out for a little while. Sighing, she decided she would just have to keep working him down until he agreed. Eventually, he would see her reasoning.

xxx

The next two weeks almost flew by for both InuYasha and Kagome. Even in the midst of studying for their impending final exams in a couple weeks, the pair never let a night pass without talking. It became part of both of their routines. They both looked forward to hearing from the other. Something that both of their respective room mates had not failed to notice.

“InuYasha, are you ever actually going to meet this girl?” Miroku asked his hanyou friend one Saturday afternoon.

“I have, jackass.”

Rolling his eyes, Miroku huffed. “You know what I mean. Sango and I have actually been on actual dates and you know, know eachother's names.”

“Bully for you. Now fuck off.” InuYasha practically yelled as he tried to stick his headphones on his ears.

Sighing, he took his friend's obvious hint and went downstairs to meet Sango. Upon seeing her leaning against the banister, fingers looped in her jeans, he couldn't help but smile. She smiled back and asked, “Everything ok up there? I thought I heard someone yelling.”

Miroku took his girlfriend's hand and went to exit the house. “Yeah. Just my room mate being an idiot.”

Sango raised an eyebrow in question. “Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. He met a girl at the Halloween party but has yet to actually learn her name or even see her face outside of whatever mask she was wearing. They just text constantly.”

Sango's eyes widened. “Th-they do?”

Miroku didn't hide his puzzled expression. “Yeeeeeah...”

“Um... well...”

Stopping mid step on their trek to the campus food court, Miroku eyed his girlfriend suspiciously. “Sango?”

Biting her lip, the girl looked down at the concrete. “I think your room mate is texting my room mate.”

Eyes widening to nearly the size of saucers, Miroku burst out laughing. “You're kidding!?”

Shaking her head, Sango responded, “Nope. She calls him Foxy. I guess he was wearing a fox costume or something?”

Miroku was nearly on the ground by this point. “Jesus! Yep. That's him.”

“I don't see how this is so funny.”

Finally calming himself, Miroku placed his hands on her shoulders, “Because my dear Sango, this cannot be purely coincidental. Maybe the strings of fate had a hand in this, eh?”

Sango rolled her eyes. “You're an idiot. What are we gonna do? I can't just lie to her.”

Placing a finger on his lips thoughtfully, Miroku had a dangerous gleam in his eyes. “Mayhaps you won't have to my dear...”
