Chapter Three: Man to Man Advice

"Oh my god! This is so awesome!" Sango yelled.

"I know! The mall is a dream come true huh?" Kagome yelled. The four friends stood, taking in the scenery. It had been a while since Kagome had been to the mall.

"Well, what are we waiting for? We're waiting precious time! Let's go shopping!" Kagome grabbed Sango's hand and ran into 'Wet Seal'. The guys followed and sat down, waiting for the girls to finish. Every now and then they would hear a squeal and look up to find Kagome dancing around the store.

"Miroku, I hate to admit this but you were right" Inuyasha said.

"I'm always right Inuyasha. Now, what am I right about?" Miroku responded.

"You were right that Kagome cares about me. I knew she did, but I hadn't realized that she loved me until today" Inuyasha said. Inuyasha was sitting on the bench slouching forward. His elbows were resting on his knees, supporting his body.

"Because of our little talk?" Miroku asked.

"No. When Kagome came up to get me I was on her bed. I was awake but Kagome thought I was asleep. She started talking saying that she was afraid to find out that I loved Kikyo and not her. She started crying. Miroku, she is broken. And I can't stand the fact that I'm the one who broke her." Inuyasha explained. Usually he doesn't talk about this kind of stuff with anyone but lately Miroku had gotten him to open up and it felt good. So Inuyasha kept his feelings between Miroku and him. He knew Miroku wouldn't dare tell a soul because if he did, Inuyasha would rip him to shreds. Or at least that's what Inuyasha said he would do.

"Inuyasha, in my opinion, you should tell Kagome how you feel. Only you can mend her Inuyasha. Only you. Not Sango, not me, not Kouga, or anyone else but you" Miroku responded.

"Yea, but how do I do that?"

"Well, I would slowly begin to show her how you feel. Do little things to show you care then when the time is right, tell her' Miroku explained.

"Alright, I'll try that. Now let's talk about you and Sango."

"I really don't think there is anything to talk about."

"Yes there is. You love Sango, do you not?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Yes, I do have very strong feelings for Lady Sango."

"Well, you're bugging me about confessing to Kagome, now is it me or are you being a hypocrite?"

"But I have a reason to not tell Sango"

"And what would that reason be?"

"Lady Sango does not return the same feelings. I do not want to make things awkward for her" Miroku explained.

"Man, you call me stupid! Even I, the hard headed Inuyasha, know Sango has the same the same feeling toward you as you to her"

"If so, why does she always slap me?"

"Hmm... lets think about this for a second or two..." Inuyasha paused. "Maybe because you don't respect her privacy..."

"I... wow... you're right. I never thought of it that way. What do you think I should do?" Miroku asked.

"Well, you could stop groping Sango for one. Stop looking at other women too" Inuyasha added seeing Miroku's eyes wander to a woman looking at cloths. Miroku's gaze snapped back up to Inuyasha. "Begin showing her that you only care about her and her only. Only look at her only pay attention to her" Inuyasha explained.

"Wow, I wish we could have had this conversation earlier." Miroku laughed.

"Yea, I know what you mean. God's where are the wench and Sango?" Inuyasha complained.

"We're done!" Kagome yelled stepping out of the dressing room. "And now, presenting, the newly, modernized beautiful Sango!" Sango shyly stepped out, revealing herself to the guys. She was wearing black jeans with maroon cross ties going up the sides and a black t-shirt. The shirt had maroon hand prints on each breast. On the left hand print was the word 'hands' written in white and on the right hand print was the word 'off'. (A/N: This is from a persons point of view looking at Sango) Miroku's eyes were grazing her body, taking in every curve. Sango noticed Miroku's stare and blushed.

"So, can we go now?" Inuyasha asked.

"No! We still have to buy a ton of stuff! Like shoes, purses, dresses, bathing suits, make up, cloths for you and Miroku, and a lot of other stuff!" Kagome explained.

"This is going to be a long day..." Inuyasha said and followed Kagome into the next store.

After several hours of non stop shopping the gang was done. Each of them were now in modern cloths. Inuyasha was wearing a pair of baggy black jeans with a red muscle shirt on. He also had on a pair of black Vans. (A/N: HOTTTTT!) Miroku's ensemble was a little bit different. He too, had on a pair of baggy black jeans. But instead of a red muscle shirt, it was white. Miroku also had a violet, silky, button up shirt on that was buttoned partially. Miroku also had on a pair of black Vans. (A/N: HOTTTT!) Sango was also wearing black Vans. (A/N: I'm a fan of Vans... so sue me...) The gang decided to take a quick stop in food court to chow down some McDonalds. Kagome was in line with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Kagome spotted her friends from school and immediately hid behind Inuyasha.

"Kagome, what are you...?" Inuyasha began.

"Shh, don't say my name! They might hear you!" Kagome whispered.

"Who will see you?" Inuyasha asked.

"My friends from school!"

"I don't see anyone Kag..."

"Inuyasha! I told you not to say me name! They're right there!" Kagome pointed. Inuyasha followed her finger but again found no one.

"I think you're seeing things..."

"I am not! See they're right..." Kagome shut up. Her friends were gone.

"Where did they go?" Kagome looked around.

"BOO!" came three voices from behind her. Inuyasha pulled Kagome to him, protecting her.

"Aaaagh!" Kagome yelled. Kagome hid her face in Inuyasha's chest. She heard laughter and some awes. She lifted her head to find Yuka, Eri, and Ayume clutching their sides laughing so hard their faces were red.

"You guys! You scared me!" Kagome yelled.

"Duh, that was the point!" Eri said.

"So, Kagome who are your friends?" Yuka asked.

"Yea, those guys are really hot!" Ayume noted. (A/N: Is that how you spell her name? I'm not sure... or is it Ayumi? Please tell me...)

"Uh, they're foreign exchange students" Kagome mentally slapped herself. 'Great, now they will interrogate them!' she thought.

"Really?"

"Where are you from?"

"What's your name?" Inuyasha and the gang just stared at the girls.

"Oh, they must not speak Japanese..." Eri suggested.

"Hello... my... name... is... Yuka" Yuka said slowly.

"Do... you... understand?" Ayume asked.

"Uh, guys? They speak Japanese.." Kagome said.

"Yes, I am very please that we speak the same language. This way I get to ask you a very important question." Miroku said out of nowhere.

"What's the question?" The girls asked.

"Will one of you ladies be kind enough to bare my children?" he asked.

"Is he serious?"

"Well, I don't know..."

"You are a hottie, so... why not?" At that moment crickets chirped and tumbleweed rolled across the floor. There was complete and utter silence. No one knew how to respond to that, including Miroku.

"Uh... was that some sort of joke that I didn't get or something? Why is everyone so surprised that I said yes?" Ayume questioned, breaking the uncomfortable silence. Miroku scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"I wasn't expecting that... Wow... Um... Lady...?" Miroku began and looked over to Kagome for a name.

"Ayume" Kagome replied.

'Yes of course. Lady Ayume, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have my eyes set on someone already," Miroku quickly glanced at Sango. The Miroku returned to Ayume, "I love her will all of my heart and I want her, and her only to bear my children and share my life with forever."

"Aww... that's so sweet!" Ayume screeched.

"This girl will be so lucky to have you!" Yuka chimed it.

"When are you going to let her know how you feel after her?" Eri asked. Miroku smiled and glanced at Sango once more. He locked eyes with hers and never once glanced away.

"I just did" he replied.
