A/N: replies to the reviewers from last chapter

FlamingRedFox: I'm actually a better SanMir fan than an InuKag, but I haven't been that lately. Maybe because they went back to the older epis on adult swim so I don't watch them anymore. Ah well. Sorry about the overly abusive stuff. At least I don't make Miroku grope everything in sight like in other fics. Glares at perverted fics But don't worry, Sango'll warm up very soon. Maniacal laughter Ahem. Well, anyway, I'll try to tone down the violence a bit.

Reall-Goodchild: I know! KougAya is awesome! I was actually planning to put in InuKag's meeting flashback in here, but decided to hold it off til later! Heh heh, I'm so ebil!

Micayasha: Yeah, I made her pretty whiny, eh? Well, I needed one o' dose characters in this story so I decided to make that Kikyo. For some reason when I first started writing this I had some sort of grudge against Kikyo. Like, the kind where when you see her when watching Adult Swim you want hit the TV with a bat and throw it out of the window from two stories up… But now, I kinda feel bad for her in the series, but I still dislike her… And plus, this kind of story needs a slutty/whiny kind of character…

Shadow Wolf: Because you're not. Kuri and Steph are my absolute best friends. You are just my friend, no offence. Plus, they give me a whole lot of inspirations for this story.

Woot! 4 reviews for chapter six and I didn't even have to threaten!

Oh, yeah, I've also changed my writing style/format a bit... I think?

Revised (again, on WordPad... This computer doesn't have MSWord, interesting, hm?) on December 30, 2005.

Disclaimer: Yennoe how I said I'd come of with a witty disclaimer this time? Okay, well, I'm gonna break that promise. I usually break my little promises. Hehh… Oh! And before I forget, I do not own Inuyasha!

Chapter Seven: Fights and Limos

Ayame sighed for the millionth time. She remembered how they became friends like it was yesterday. 'Oh!' she thought. The wolf had realized that she told Kuri only how she and Kouga had met, but not when they became friends. She half sighed, half chuckled. 'Oh well. It's not like it's important.'

The first day of middle school for little Ayame. The last days of summer had crept up on very swift feet. As the red-head shifted her backpack on her shoulder, she counted the houses she passed whilst walking.

Entering the building, she followed the crowd of kids that looked about her age. In the hustling and bustling of the active halls, many faces turned in confusion, and in those faces, one looked oh-so familiar to Ayame. She shrugged it off when the familiar face disappeared into the scrambling swarm.

She twirled around to turn a corner, when suddenly, someone just as hurried as she was bumped into Ayame.

"Hey! Watch it!" she yelled.

"You wa—" He caught himself in mid-sentence and looked at the fiery-red haired girl.

At that same moment, Ayame looked up. 'Kouga!' she thought.

They both leaped back, pointed a finger at one another and exclaimed, "YOU!"

After that, they realizing they were in the same school and most of the same classes, but never mentioned the incident over the summer to anyone. But... Kouga still kind of teased Ayame, but she handled it much better. She took a page out of Sango's book and solved it usually with mild violence or screaming, but nothing all that bad.

She chuckled. Just then, her doorbell rang.

Ayame ran down her stairs and opened her front door.

"TOMORROW'S PROOOOOOOM!" shrieked Kagome.

She leaned on the door frame with on hand on her hip. "Yes. I know," she said nonchalantly. "You came all the way here to tell me that?" She cocked an eyebrow.

"Well… yeah…" Kagome said, looking down at her feet a bit embarrassed.

Ayame snorted in amusement.

"What? So we wanted to share our excited-ness with our best friend? What's so wrong about that, Ayame?"

Ayame rolled her eyes and invited the two inside.

"Soo?" Kagome stomped her feet rapidly yet softly, looking back and forth between Sango and Ayame.

" 'Soo' what?" they asked.

"So aren't you excited about the prom?"

"Obviously not as much as you... But... Yeah, I guess…" said Sango.

"Well, duh, 'cause you're going out with your life-long crush!" Ayame teased.

"Wha-what? I-I-I… I have n-no idea what you're talking about, Ayame!" Sango blushed.

"You knooow… Miroku! We know you've liked him since forever." Kagome grinned devilishly.

"Oh, Miroku? N-no! I don't like h-him…" Sango turned even redder when she mentioned his name.

Ayame and Kagome rolled their eyes in unbelief and exchanged amused looks.

"W-well, at least I don't swoon every time that I pass Inuyasha in the halls at school!" Sango looked over to Kagome.

"What!" Kagome stood up from the chair which she was sitting before. "Swoon? I do n-not like him! H-he-he's a jerk! H-haven't you wondered why we're always arguing?"

"Because you like him, obviously," Ayame mumbled.

"Sh-shut up, you, you… Kouga-worshiper!" Kagome screamed. Ayame opened her mouth as if to respond, but then abruptly closed it. She was quite insulted. Kagome never used that term on her friends before. Ayame glanced over at Sango. She, too, had a surprised look on her face.

Kagome didn't realize what she had said, or even why she was so angry.

Ayame decided to open her mouth and retort. "I do not worship Kouga! We're just friends! I do NOT like him in that way, Kagome!"

The three argued on and on, pointing and screaming, until Sango and Kagome stormed out leaving a very angry Ayame to fume.

At school on the day of the prom. Our trio or girls are still mad at each other. But, coincidentally (cough), the two trios just happened to run into each other…

(cough)happened

"Hey," Kouga held up a hand to Ayame. She looked at him, about to wave back, but saw Sango coming up behind him. Sango stopped in from of Ayame, then both glared for a second, and then looked away, huffing.

"Did I miss something?" Kouga said, unnoticed by the two girls.

"Yo," said Inuyasha and Miroku. "What's going on—" They looked at Sango and Ayame's faces. "Oh…"

"Hey, you think they'll get in a cat fight?" Miroku whispered excitedly to Inuyasha, who elbowed him lightly. "You don't take things seriously, do you?" Inuyasha whispered back.

"Hey, Inuyasha, Miroku! Have you seen Sango or Ayam—" Kagome walked briskly up to Inuyasha. She cut herself off when Sango and Ayame were there too. She was planning to apologize, but now that she had the chance, for some reason she couldn't.

"Oh, it's you," Ayame and Sango said at the same time, then glared at each other. Kagome made a face.

The boys looked back and forth between the glowering girls.

"Woah, this is the first time I've seen Sango mad at someone other than me…" Miroku murmured.

"Riight…" Inuyasha then turned to Kagome. "What happened? You guys fight or something?"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, blushed, but caught herself and looked away to avoid his eyes.

"Yeah, what happened?" Kouga and Miroku looked to their prom dates, who, by the way, blushed as soon as eyes made contact.

"Oh uh, nothing. We just had a little argument…" Ayame mumbled.

"Well, what was it about? Maybe if we knew, we could fix this…" Inuyasha made a little hand motion. (A/N: Aw, the guys are so sweet. Haha.)

All of the girls' eyes widened.

"Uh, it's nothing! We all forgive each other! Yep!" Kagome looked at Sango and Ayame giving eyebrow messages, cluing them in.

"Yeah. Yeah! We're not mad anymore! Nope! It was just a stupid argument!" Sango smiled innocently, as the guys exchanged confused looks.

"Erm, yeah! Just a silly argument that had nothing to do with you guys, whatsoever!" Ayame winked at Sango and Kagome, not realizing that she was giving it away.

Kagome and Sango grabbed Ayame's hand and dashed down the hall. "Bye, guys!" they called after.

"Aw, so that means no mud-filled cat fight, huh, guys…? Ah well, just our luck…" Miroku pouted, and kicked at the ground.

Prom night. Whoooo…

Our three gals are getting ready at Sango's place. Their dresses on, hair done, nails painted, shoes narrowed down to only five different pairs... Each.

Ayame, in her green gown, wore her hair in two high buns swirled up on her head and curled the strands that hung loose. Her nails were plain except for the white tip as from the French manicure Sango had given her. A string of jade beads lay gently around her slender neck. She added on little silver hoops to her ears, light green powder to her eyes, and a light pink to her lips. She then affixed a silk pink blossom to one of her hair buns to finish it off, and a pink blossom, also, as her corsage that Kouga had given her the previous day.

Sango tied the thick straps behind her back which started at the lower part of her neck. She added in between those straps a thin choker with a singled ovular pendant. Silver ovuler hoops hung down from her ears, as well. A thin layer of lavender eye shadow was added along with dark indigo eyeliner, and a deep shade of scarlet lipstick too, along with some gloss. Several strands of hair were pulled back from above her ears to the back of her head, braided, joined together, and braided the rest of the way down, tied with a silver-colored ribbon. Miroku had slipped a light blue corset to her the day before.

Kagome had on her faded maroon dress, the strap going from the middle of the neck and looping around her neck. The thin strap studded with sparkling gems. Her earlobes had studs to match her looped strap. She put her hair up in a messy bun, with much help from Sango and Ayame, and curled the ends that fell out gracefully. Her nails were the same shade of red, but with glittery swirls of gold on each. After much deciding, she picked out gold high-heeled shoes to match her nails. She strapped on her red rose corset to her wrist that Inuyasha had shyly given to her the day before at school. Ayame had put matching gold eye shadow and rose red lipstick on Kagome to finish up the look.

As Ayame was finishing up Kagome's makeup, the doorbell rang, and -- as Sango was the only one whose hands were free -- got up the answer the door.

She turned the knob and slowly opened the door. There stood Miroku… With his ridiculous tuxedo…

"Wooooow…." Was all he could say, staring at Sango.

She blushed quite noticeably. "Um, hi," she said shyly.

"Oh, uh. Yeah, erm, hi. Wow. And uh, oh! These are, uh, for, um, y-you," Miroku stuttered, lifting up his hand which held a bouquet of roses.

"Aww, that's so sweet…!" she brought her hand up to her face, as if to hide her blushing.

"Soo uh…" Miroku motioned his hand out the door.

"Oh, um, I should wait for Kagome and Ayame—"

"Don't worry! We're here! It's all—" Ayame was running towards the stairs with Kagome. "Oh…?" Ayame smirked, raising her eyebrows. Kagome and Ayame chuckled as Sango turned even redder and redder.

"Oh, don't worry, Sango. You can go ahead. We'll wait for Inuyasha and Kouga," Kagome edged Sango.

So Sango went on with Miroku out the door as her friends waited, grinning, at the door.

"But wait, I thought you didn't have a car—" Sango stopped in mid-walk.

Parked in front of her was a bright…

Purple

Moped.

"Like 'er? I named her Sango…" Miroku ran his hand over the smooth metal.

Totally, ignoring Miroku's statement, Sango pointed at the moped and said, "Why is it—"

"She," Miroku cut and corrected.

"—Purple?"

Miroku stood straight and put his hand to his chest. "I prefer to call the shade plum."

"Oh yeah. That's more masculine," Sango replied sarcastically.

Miroku coughed. "Well, uh, shall we, ahem, get going?" He tossed Sango an extra helmet, which she caught without thinking, while Kagome and Ayame were giggling at the doorframe.

"Ahem, Houshi," she said (A/N: She calls him by his last name sometimes. Or at least she will be.) "How am I supposed to ride this thing in a dress? Hm?"

"Well, we could improvise by you riding on my lap." Miroku wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

She glowered.

"Oh! Wait! You won't have to! Look!" Ayame interrupted, pointing down the street.

There they saw a long, shiny black limousine headed towards them. From the sun roof was Inuyasha and Kouga waving.

When the vehicle stopped in front of the house, Inuyasha came out, followed by Kouga.

"Hey, where were you, Miroku? We told you to meet us outside mutt-face's place," Kouga said.

"Ooh yeah, so that's what I was forgetting…" Miroku stroked his chin.

"Ah ah, fancy. Nicely done, Kouga," Ayame pointed to the limo.

"Actually, it was Inuyasha's… Brother's… Girlfr—Kuri!" Kouga said.

"Oooh…" the girls said.

After the guys complimented their dates on how good they looked, they all decided to hop inside the huge limo and go on their way.

But before the 'hopping', Miroku went to his moped to say good-bye temporarily.

"…I love you, Sango," he said affectionately.

Hearing this, Sango said scornfully, "You talking to me, Houshi, or the bike?"

"Erm, you?" embarrassed Miroku said.

The human Sango rolled her eyes, as the vehicle Sango sat quietly and motionless on the dark pavement.

Sesshomaru picked up the stack of envelopes from the kitchen counter and walked to his desk.

"Bills… bills…" he mumbled as he scribbled on the paper with his pen. Then came an unexpected envelope. "W-wait.. I didn't order any pricy limo—!" He looked over to the open door just as Kuri and Rin were headed to Rin's room for bedtime.

"Kuri…" he growled.

"Huh?" she said. She looked at the bill. At the top was the trademark symbol of the limousine company that she had ordered a limo for Inuyasha's prom that night. "Um… I love you…?"

"Kuri…" His voice was deep and threatening.

"Run, Rin, run!" she yelped, hurrying Rin towards the door.

A/N: End! Quite a short chapter, eh? Ah well. Hopefully I update to chapter eight really soon. That one is expected to be pretty short too, though. I'm trying to get in a little more of that 'romance' that I put this story under. It's been mostly humor, huh? That'll change soon… I hope…

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! R&R!
