Author's Note: This is the first fanfic that I've ever posted. I hope you'll all like it. This story begins right after Inuyasha the Movie II. If you haven't seen it, a couple of important parts and spoilers include the following; Shippou throws Kagome's jewel shards at her in order for her to escape imprisonment and Kagome kisses Inuyasha to free him from his full demonic state. (BTW, if you were wondering where I got the title from, I couldn't think of a good one, so I used my motto \/ ) Enjoy! Kukaii-chan

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of his affiliates. I do, however, own the first two Inuyasha movies and watch them both at least once a week!giggle

Love is Life: Without Love, There is No Life

Chapter 1: Advice from Miroku and his Plan

After Inuyasha got 'sat' by Kagome and Sango finally chose to just ignore Miroku and stay as far away from him as possible, the group walked on. It was nearing the end of that Saturday and Kagome had to get home before the festival started tomorrow. She decided she would have some fun of her own and hang out with Hojo (the descendant) and her twenty-first century friends, no matter if Inuyasha got mad, because she knew he would.

She didn't quite care what he thought at the moment, though. After what he said about that kiss, she thought. Scowling at him, she felt her eyes sting with tears, Baka-Inu.

Inuyasha noticed her mad expression, "What the hell are you staring me down for?" "I am not staring you down!" replied the angry Kagome. "You were too! It looks like steam is about to come from your ears." "Osuw---," Kagome started but Miroku intervened.

"Now, now, now, you two love-birds," he spoke up. Kagome's face grew as red as a tomato in the sun and Inuyasha seemed so angry to be beyond the point of movement or speech. "Arguing will do nothing to heighten your relationship, action will," Miroku continued as a tick appeared on Inuyasha's forehead as well as Sango's, "Now, one of the first steps is to get you two alone together to talk," this time, a tick appeared on Kagome's forehead, too, "you should find a nice romantic spot, such as a waterfall, which, as it so happens, I know there to be one up ahead only a few miles away."

Apparently, Miroku had no idea what pain he was about to receive. Shippou was about to wet his pants from bursting with laughter, "Hey, you guys, can we move on please? I have to, um…well…uh, nature calls."

No one was paying attention to him. Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango were lined up, all of them angered beyond belief, Miroku stood across from them, a look of horror on his face at realizing what was about to happen. Hachi, Hojo (the ancestor), and Kirara were watching on with deep interest. It would have been a most hilarious sight to see if you had walked in on it.

"Aahh, Hachi, Kirara, now!" Miroku yelled as Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango all dived at him at once. Hachi transformed and caught Kagome and Inuyasha before they could get to Miroku. Quickly, before they got off, he flew towards the waterfall that Miroku had told him all about. Kirara also transformed, picked up Hojo and Shippou, and flew in the other direction, leaving Sango flabbergasted ( ha! I love that word)in mid-hit of Miroku.

You see, Miroku had planned this all along. He was to make Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango all angered or highly embarrassed-whichever came first- at once. Inuyasha and Kagome were always next to each other, so the only problem there would be to make sure that Hachi was on the same side as they were, once they began their attack, Miroku would give the signal and Hachi would catch Inuyasha and Kagome before they hit. He would then bring them to a waterfall a few miles away. Kirara was to take whoever else was there besides Sango and Miroku back to the lake from where they had come.

After bringing them to the waterfall, Hachi was to leave Inuyasha and Kagome to join Kirara and the others. Miroku and Sango were left alone approximately ten meters from an enchanting hot spring, and Kagome and Inuyasha were left alone at an equally enchanting waterfall. Then, after some kind-hearted chats and some possible action (or so Miroku hoped on his part), they would all be happy and thank him in the end.

Author's Note: Boy, Miroku can be pretty dense sometimes can't he? I certainly hope you will all R&R!

Thanx, Kukaii-chan
