NOTES: I didn't expect much from this story. A cute little idea popped into my head which I'll use once I build up enough to use it. But I checked to see if anyone had reviewed my story yesterday just for the heck of it, and there were 5! Wow! I was so happy that I wrote another chapter because people liked it so much. If you guys pester me enough, I'll write another after this really soon. Btw, what do you think of this one? I think it's cute :). Angel loves reviews....
Meanwhile, go to Angel's site, The Demon Cafe, while you're waiting. Lots of things all about Inu Yasha there :D.

Chapter 2
"Over here Miroku-sama. I can help her from here."
Miroku looked disappointed as he held Sango. "Are you sure Kagome-sama." He grinned. "I really don't mind helping."
Sango glared harder at Miroku and muttered something under her breath as Miroku set her down near the hot spring.
Sango watched as Miroku walked off and waited another minute. "I don't trust him."
Kagome smiled as she slipped into the hot spring. "Neither do I. But I'm not worried. Inu Yasha will stop him if he tries to come back."
Sango stared off at the empty hallway. "I guess so..."

"Come on Inu Yasha. Are you a man or not?"
"Shut up Miroku."
"But..." Miroku looked with pleading eyes towards where the hot spring would be.
"You shouldn't bother them!" Shippou stood on Miroku's knee. "They need rest." Shippou nodded to emphasize his point.
Miroku grinned as he patted Shippou on the head. "You'll understand when you get older."
Shippou turned away and folded his arms. "I am old enough."
Miroku raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Old enough for what?"
Shippou turned around again to face Miroku. He was about to say something, but changed his mind and went to Kirara to pout.
Miroku stood and slowly stretched his limbs, wincing when a sore spot was stretched in his back. "Well!" He started off in the direction of the spring.
"Where do you think you're going?" Inu Yasha quickly stepped in front of Miroku and glared at him while he tried looking over his shoulder.
"To the hot spring."
"No."
"My muscles are sore. I need to lay in the hot spring."
Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes. "You can't go there while", he pointed in the direction of the spring, "THEY are there."
Miroku smoothly ducked around Inu Yasha's arm. "But Sango will be disappointed if I don't."
Inu Yasha looked at Miroku with disbelief while grabbing his arm. "That's stupid. And I said no."
Miroku grinned. "You can come if you'd like."
"I..." Inu Yasha turned a few shades redder. After all this time, he was still affected by Miroku's insinuations. He shook his head and realized that Miroku was now a few paces ahead of him. "Hey!"

"Pyu!"
Sango slowly opened her eyes. "Kirara?" Sango looked at Kirara strangely. "Weren't you with the boys?"
"Pyu." Kirara looked towards the hallway.
Sango's eyes widened as she heard Miroku's voice trying to persuade an angry Inu Yasha. "Ano...Kagome-chan..." Sango looked at Kagome who had already changed into some dry clothes.
Kagome leaned down, offering her hand. "If you dry off and get dressed quickly, you will be done before they get here."
Sango furrowed her eyebrows but did as she was told. She didn't really think that Miroku was lecherous enough to actually peek at them.
"Does he do this a lot?" Sango asked as Kagome helped her get dressed.
"Who, Inu Yasha?"
"No..." Sango blushed. "Houshi-sama."
Kagome smiled. "Sometimes. But he never actually makes it here in time." She leaned closer and whispered. "He never did when it was just me. I think he knew Inu Yasha would be too angry." She leaned back and made sure her clothes fit on Sango. "But he's tried a lot more since you came. I think he doesn't make it on purpose though."
Sango looked at Kagome with a very puzzled expression. She was about to say something when Inu Yasha and Miroku unelegantly, to say the least, burst into the little cave.
"You jerk! Now they're going to be mad!"
Miroku sulked realizing that the girls were dry and fully dressed.
Kagome sighed as Inu Yasha came into view, still yelling at Miroku. "Osuwari."
"But I didn't-!" He was cut off as the ground met his face.
Miroku grinned at Inu Yasha until a rock was embedded into his face. "Ow...."
Kagome and Sango stepped by, Kirara following them. "When will you two learn...?"
Inu Yasha angrily watched them go, shouting something about it not being his fault.
Kagome sighed and smiled to herself. Yup, just another ordinary night trying to survive.
Meanwhile, go to Angel's site, The Demon Cafe, while you're waiting. Lots of things all about Inu Yasha there :D.
