Disclamer: Inu-Yasha is NOT mine! You can get me Miroku for Christmas tho'!!

Opening Play

"Oi! Come on, get up!" Inu-Yasha poked at the sleeping girl. She rolled over, sat up, and fell back down. Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes.

"You've been here for over four days! Get up you lazy-.." He was cut off by an unidentified flying pillow to the face.

"I don't feel good Inu-Yasha, let me stay here for a little while more..." Kagome muttered into her pillow.

"You don't look sick."

"I am though."

"You're not hot."

Kagome brushed his hand away. "But I'm still sick."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"You're just fine!!!"

"NO I'M NOT!!!"

"YOU'VE SURE GOT A LOT OF ENERGY FOR A SICK PERSON!!!!"

"OSUWARI!"

Inu-Yasha crashed head-first into the floor. "You... little..."

"I'll come back when I feel better! Now go!"

"Feh." Inu-Yasha leaped off the windowsill.

"Stupid girl. She doesn't smell sick, she doesn't look sick, and she sure as hell doesn't ACT sick!!!"

"Stupid Inu-Yasha." said Kagome, stepping out of her bed, fully clothed in her uniform. "I just need a few more days at school."

Kagome was in the drama club, and they had been practicing to do play for the 3rd graders at Sota's school. Snow White. Kagome had lead role. 'What other play could be so childish?' Kagome thought as she got off the train. 'And of all the people, Hojo has to be the one acting opposite me!'

"Higurashi!" came a voice. Kagome turned to find Hojo trotting up to her. 'Great more fun.' she thought, then silently scolded herself. 'Kagome! Stop it!'

"I'm glad you were able to come and do the play!" he gave her a smile of pure innocence.

"Yeah... Me too." said Kagome, almost choking on the words. Since when had she gotten to dislike Hojo so much?

"Do you wanna do something after practice?" he said, looking down at his feet.

"Um..."

"No." came a growling voice. Kagome turned and looked around, but couldn't see anyone. But she felt she recognized the voice. She hoped it wasn't who she thought.

"We'll see..." said Kagome, but almost as soon as the words escaped her lips, there was a loud "YES, SHE WILL!!!"

Kagome and Hojo turned only to find Kagome's friends, Chihiro, Nazumi, and Mizuki standing behind her. Why did they always have to do this? I don't LIKE Hojo! Kagome thought to herself.

"Oh wait..." her friends grabbed Kagome and pulled her away from a confused Hojo.

"Are you still going out with that 'other' guy?" Mizuki whispered to her.

Kagome stared at her friends, looking from face to face. 'I never should have told them about Inu-Yasha...'

"Come to think of it, we've never met him! How do we know you're not making this up?" said Chihiro, giving Kagome an accusing glare.

"Why would I make it up?" Kagome countered.

"Because... um..." Mizuki tried to find an excuse.

"Because you really don't like Hojo so you're making all this up as an excuse not to go out with him!!!" Nazumi stated, pointing dramatically at her.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Sorry guys, I don't have time for this." she pushed past them and walked into the drama club room.

"You think Kagome is really seeing this guy?" questioned Nazumi.

"It's possible... but I don't know...." said Mizuki.

"I say we find out once and for all who this guy really is!!" Chihiro said.

Mizuki and Nazumi nodded in agreement. "Let's do it."

Miroku walked through the school halls, being dragged by Inu-Yasha.

"Tell me again, because I forgot. WHY am I accompanying you on this?" Miroku asked.

"Because I told you to. And the author doesn't want to leave you out of the story. According to this... -He puled out a piece of paper- 'Miroku is the hottest character in all of anime and deserves to be in this fic'..." Inu- Yasha looked up at the author who was typing on a big keyboard in the sky. "What are you talking about?!?!?"

"It's quite clear what she's talking about." said Miroku with a smirk.

"Both of you get back in the story!" she shouted.

"Sorry."

Inu-Yasha heard Kagome in the next room.

"Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"

"We live here. Durh." came a squeaky voice. "Okay, I think the helium is a bit much."

"What the hell is helium?" Inu-Yasha looked to Miroku for an answer but he just shrugged.

"Alright, cut!" said a woman's voice. "We'll have to do this again."

"I'm not sucking anymore helium!!" the squeaky voice went to a regular tone.

"Fine. Let's skip to the major scene. When Prince charming wakes Snow White with a kiss." there were many romantic sighs from around the room.

"Does he really have to kiss me?" Kagome inquired.

The woman's voice took on a sudden dreamy quality. "It'll be so romantic. Snow White, waking after a passionate kiss from her one true love...." she let out a loving sigh.

"Passionate...?" Kagome nearly choked on the word.

"How else would you have it?" her teacher growled. "Get to work!"

Inu-Yasha froze up outside. Who was kissing who? If Kagome had to be kissed, who the hell was doing it? Was Kagome being forced to do it? Or did she really want to?

"Of course she wants to!!" Inu-Yasha said out loud suddenly, making Miroku jump. "Why else would she lie to get here?! I'm gonna kill Kagome for betraying me....!"

"I didn't know you felt that way for her." said Miroku with a clueless look on in face. "I'm happy that you FINALLY admitted to it!" He patted Inu- Yasha on the back. "I thought you'd never come around!"

Miroku recieved a smack to the head for this and lay unconcious on the floor while Inu-Yasha stomped into the room.

"Where's Kagome?!" he growled.

Everyone stared at him. Inu-Yasha cracked his knuckles. "Well?!? Say SOMETHING?!?! Are you all dumb or did that helium crap finally get to you?!?!"

There was a sudden squeal from the back of the room. The drama teacher ran forward and glomped Inu-Yasha. "You're PERFECT!!!"

"NO I'M NOT!!! LET GO OF ME!!" Inu-Yasha frantically tried to pry the hysterical woman off of him.

"Oh but you are!!! If we braid your hair,-"

"Do WHAT?!"

"And put on maybe a little make-up-"

"Like hell!!!"

"The costume should fit you just fine!!"

"Costume?!" "Hojo! Pack up! We've got a new Prince Charming!!!"

"WHAAAAAT?!?!?"
