Disclaimer: Well, I don't own him. Is that a big surprise?

This is going to be the last chapter I've edited. The only thing changed about it is the first little part here, and a few spelling and grammar errors have been corrected here and there.

Anyway, onward!

After Miroku woke up, he told Sango everything that he saw. Which was exactly what she saw, but he went into deep, and mostly false detail.

Luckily she knew that. Also, luckily there was Monday… luckily for once, anyway.

Inuyasha wandered the hallway, trying to find the person he was looking for. Finally, after corridor after corridor of blue lockers and fake-marble flooring he found Erin.

Erin was smiling at the two girls by his side, a player no doubt, it hadn't been a year since the two saw each other last, but they weren't friends to say the least. His bright jade eyes dancing and his tawny locks falling around them. He raised his hands up for the girls to stop talking when he saw Inuyasha.

"Takahashi? Haven't seen you in a while."

"Yeah, well, I haven't had a really good reason to talk to the likes of you." He said with a smug look and tone.

"Don't get all offensive on me. Now, what do you want?"

"You know that little fiasco about… oh, five years ago?"

Erin's nose wrinkled up, "Ugh, you still harping over that, Takahashi?"

"Well, it's no fun to make fun of someone when their mood isn't high up in the first place. I like to ruin it ya know."

"No I don't know. If my memory serves me right, you were the one with Kagome that particular day."

"So what? Kouga was there. I had to go or he would have never let me live it down!"

"Yeah, yeah. You're all talk Takahashi."

"So just apologize like you said you were going to or I'll rearrange your facial features."

"Fine, ok, whatever. If you'll just shut the hell up!"

"No, I don't think so. You told everyone you apologized and you apparently didn't. So that's called lying, and you wouldn't want all your little girlfriends to find that out, now would you? You know how hysterical women can get, right?"

The two girls at Erin's side glared at him and screamed, "Hey!" But he just rolled his eyes and shrugged it off.

"Whatever, Takahashi. If it will make your little girlfriend happy then I will. Just leave me alone."

"She's not my girlfriend. I just like it better when I ruin a perfectly good mood. It makes it sweeter."

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say."

Inuyasha was leaning up against the lockers watching Erin make his way over to Kagome and Sango. Miroku walked up and looked at him with curious navy orbs.

"What are you watching so intently, my friend?"

He moved his wrist and extended a finger in Erin's direction. Clearly, he had no idea Inuyasha was watching him. "Erin,"

"Is he going to apologize to Kagome?"

"He'd better,"

"But I thought you hated Kagome."

"I do but I like to be the one to ruin her good moods. Not other people."

"Is that why you're so protective of her?"

He looked over at Miroku with large golden eyes, but they soon narrowed into slits and Miroku found himself smelling the floor.

Erin reluctantly walked over to Kagome and Sango who were chatting. He smirked and put a hand on Kagome's shoulder,

"Hiya Kagome."

She looked up at him with a quizzical look and shrugged off his hand. "Uh, hi Erin. What do you want?"

"Oh, I was forced to apologize for the thing half a decade ago."

"What? Why now? It's been forever, I forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago."

"Yeah, well tell that to your boyfriend."

Kagome's face fell and she sweat-dropped, "Uh, who's my boyfriend? Ahaha… uh,"

"He denies it too. I guess Takahashi and you are both in denial, eh?"

Now her face became serious, and she grabbed Erin's shoulders and looked him dead in the eye. "Inuyasha told you to do this?"

"Yeah, he said he like to ruin your mood when it's as 'high as it can go', or whatever."

Her hand found itself on her lip and her eyes fell to the floor, "Uh, thanks, Erin… I guess."

"Yeah, whatever." He waved his hand with a flick of his wrist and walked away. Kagome and Sango still dumbfounded.

Again, Inuyasha and Miroku were talking after class. Miroku caught sight of Kagome's happy smiling face and shook his head. Inuyasha looked at him strangely.

"What?"

"It's a shame. Knowing you're going to ruin such a beautiful blissful face."

Now Inuyasha turned his head to see what he was referring to. He found his jaw wasn't as closed as it used to be.

She's smiling? She never smiles. What the hell? Her smile is... is...

"What are you smiling about, Higarashi?"

She looked up surprised, but she kept smiling. She kept smiling. Even when she was looking his direction; she just couldn't stop.

"Hiya, Miroku, Inuyasha."

Miroku moved swiftly over to the two and stood beside Sango, she eyed him cautiously and instinctively smacked him for petting a certain body part. "Hi, pervert."

"Ah, it's always a pleasure, my dear Sango."

"For your hand, maybe…"

Kagome laughed wholeheartedly, a strange thing to see from her. Everyone in the group looked at her oddly, and she waved her hands in an indication that she was okay. Sango and Miroku walked ahead of the little squad and Inuyasha was still giving Kagome some weird glances.

"What's the matter with you?" He would have continued his interrogation if he didn't feel her small hand slip between his and squeeze lightly but then release.

"Thanks, for everything." She smiled a bright flashy smile at him and ran off, after her friend.

He just stood there… dumbfounded, blushing, and generally shocked. A few moments passed before he smirked and trailed behind with a steady pace.

Well, that's all of that. I hope you enjoyed my editing. It kind of bored me, but then again I've written the story before.

Ja-ne!
