Chapter 3: Sango's Shock and For Being Late, You Get a Sitting, Mister!
"Hey guys!" Miroku exclaimed. The perverted priest had managed to slip out of the ever-tightening grasp of Sango, and he was now in the kitchen.
"Do you know what time it is?" he said with a grin.
"Time to drinks mo' beer?" Kouga guessed.
"Time to jump on all the beds and scream til' our lungs give out?" Shippou asked.
"Time to swoon over Kaede-baba?" Jii-chan asked as he stared at Kaede. Kaede gave him a nasty glance. "Don't maketh me hit thee again."
Miroku shook his head. "Nope, not a chance, and no way. It's time to~"
"Bring houshi-sama back to the living room where he belongs?" Sango finished for him when she suddenly appeared. "Well did I get it right?"
"Aw, not now, Sango! I wanted to play Spin-the-Bottle with these guys!"
At this, Jii-chan grinned and stared harder at Kaede. Kaede gulped. "What be this game of "Spin-the-Bottle"?"
Miroku chuckled. "Man, you need to get out more, old lady. It's simple. We all sit in a circle and spin a bottle around in the center, one at a time. Then, when it stops on a person, you have to kiss them."
Kaede's eyes widened. "Eh?!..." Miroku turned to Sango. "Why don't you play too, Sango?" Miroku's smile suddenly turning to a grin. Sango sighed and reluctantly walked forward.
"All right, just this ONE game, houshi-sama," she said. Miroku clapped his hands together. "Great! Let's get started!"
A minute or so later, their little group was set up in a circle on the kitchen floor. In all there was Miroku, Sango, Jii-chan, Kaede, and Shippou. Once again, Shippou didn't understand this game, but he was willing to try anything new. Kouga had left before anyone could ask if he wanted to play.
"Hmm...we need one more girl," Miroku noted. He was about to call for Kagome, but Sango stopped him.
"No, last I saw her, she didn't look in the mood for games," Sango said quietly. Miroku's mouth formed an "o" and he nodded slowly. "I wonder if Kagome had invited any other girls from our time..."
"I doubt that. They're either evil...*cough Kagura cough*...or they're just ugly whores who don't know when to quit...*cough Kikyou cough*..."
Miroku laughed at how Sango imitated Kagome. She couldn't care less about Kikyou's actions, though Sango sometimes felt sorry for Kagome in that Kikyou was always interfering with her and Inuyasha.
"Never mind, we'll just play a short game," Miroku decided. "Shippou, you can begin." Shippou smiled and hopped forward. He placed his hand on the bottle and spun it around.
Now, both of the girls there didn't mind at all kissing Shippou. They both thought he was the most adorable kitsune ever, so it was no problem. He was like a small child. But Miroku and Jii-chan were other stories...
The bottle continued to spin until it landed on Kaede. Shippou looked up at her. "So I gotta kiss you, now?"
"Yes, little one. Cometh here now," Kaede said with a smile. Shippo smiled and walked over. Not really understanding the type of kiss he was supposed to give, he gave Kaede a small peck on her cheek, then went back to his place on the floor.
"Lucky devil..." Jii-chan muttered as he glared at Shippou. Miroku chuckled. "Well, you're supposed to give a kiss on the lips, but we can let that slide."
"Do I kiss good, Kaede?" Shippou asked. Kaede nodded. "Yes, thee does kisseth well." Jii-chan glared even more at Shippou.
Miroku rubbed his hands together and reached for the bottle. "My turn now!" With a quick flick of his wrist, he spun it around.
*Please don't land on me, please don't land on me,* Sango thought to herself. But at the same time, part of her was hoping Miroku DID land on her, though she wasn't sure why. At the same time, Miroku was mentally hoping it landed on Sango.
Slowly, the bottle came to a halt. Miroku and Sango gasped at the same time.
Yes, the bottle pointed at Sango.
"Yes!" Miroku exclaimed as he jumped into the air with joy. Sango shuddered. *Just perfect...now I have to kiss him...* But once again, part of her was excited for reasons unknown to her.
Miroku landed back on the ground with a thud. He was currently seated right next to Sango, so he just had to turn to the side. Sango reluctantly did the same.
"Oh yeah, go for it, boy!" Jii-chan exclaimed. Sango bit her lip nervously. Miroku grinned. "You ready?"
"Y-yes...I guess so," Sango stuttered. She expected the worst. She expected Miroku to kiss her hard and forcefully while trying grab her ass at the same time. She knew what he was like.
But what she got took her by complete surprise.
Miroku's face lightened suddenly, and he leaned forward slowly. He lifted Sango's head up with his hand and kissed her softly.
Sango was in a state of total shock. She had never expected Miroku to be gentle in going about with this. Suddenly, she felt Miroku's tongue running across her lips, and she nearly jumped.
As she was becoming oblivious to everything else around her, Sango was about to open her mouth to him, but she was brought back to reality by Shippou's voice. "Is it supposed to take this long?"
Miroku slowly released himself from Sango and leaned back into his spot, a satisfied look on his face. Sango just sat there, looking breathless.
"See? That wasn't as bad as you thought, was it?" Sango didn't answer. She was still in total shock. She slowly stood up, touching her lips slowly.
"...G-gomen nasai, but I-I think I've had enough for now..." Sango said breathlessly. Miroku looked at her in confusion. "But why? We've only just started."
"Y-yes, but...I n-need to go...do some business upstairs right now..." Miroku scratched the back of his head. "Well...I guess that's alright..."
"T-thank you," Sango muttered. She then hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and upstairs. Miroku was still confused. "I wonder if I upset her..."
"No way, you just shocked her! That's what happens when a good kisser comes along!" Jii-chan said with a grin. Miroku smiled as he considered the possibility that Sango actually liked his kiss.
"Well now, who's turn is it now? Ah yes, it's Kaede's..." Jii-chan said with a grin. Kaede gulped, realizing she was the only girl left.
"God helpeth me..." she muttered.
Upstairs, Kagome was pacing around her room. She held a pad and paper in one hand, and a pencil in the other. On it she was writing things.
"Now then...Ways to Kill Kikyou..." she muttered as she began to read off the list.
"1, Fire arrow through her stupid bitchy heart. 2, Make Inu sit on her and squash her like a bug. 3, Pour vat of honey on her, then let hornets do the rest. 4, Make Kouga kick her til' she can't stand up. 5, Feed her poisonous chocolates...."
Kagome thought hard of more ideas, but Sango suddenly burst through the door. Kagome dropped her paper in surprise. "Whoah, what gives?"
Then she noticed how tense Sango looked and she paused in concern. "What's wrong? You look kinda tensed up."
Sango nodded. "Uh huh..." Kagome's eyebrows slanted. "Did Miroku do something to you?"
"Yes..." Kagome gritted her teeth. "That's just what I need, that pervert messing with you again!! Where is he, I'll give him a piece of my mind!!"
Sango shook her head. "No no, it w-wasn't a bad thing..." Kagome stared at Sango in confusion. "So...he did something nice to you? Then why do you look messed up?"
"Do you know about the game Spin-the-Bottle?" Sango asked.
Kagome's eyes widened. "HE KISSED YOU???!!!" Sango nodded vigorously. "Yes, he did!"
"AND YOU LIKED IT??!!"
"You wouldn't understand yourself!" Sango exclaimed. "He was...really gentle, and I liked it!" Sango fell to her knees. "Oh, I'm so confused..."
Kagome knelt down next to her. "Wow...who'd have thought Miroku was a good kisser."
Sango shook her head. "I sure didn't. I thought he would be rough...but he was so nice and gentle about it..."
Kagome suddenly raised her eyebrows at Sango. Now, this was JUST a kiss, wasn't it?" Sango turned bright red. "OF COURSE IT WAS JUST A KISS!" She then quieted down. "But, he did try to enter my mouth..."
"WHHAAAATTTT?! HE WANTED TO DO THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OTHERS?!" Kagome exclaimed. Sango turned even redder. "His TONGUE, Kagome, his TONGUE. Get those nasty thoughts out of your head!!"
Now it was Kagome's turn to blush. "S-sorry...so what did you do about that?" Sango shuddered. "This is the part that confuses me the most...I was actually going to let him...."
At this, Kagome fainted. Sango clasped her hands over her mouth, wondering if she had shocked Kagome too badly. But Kagome woke up a second later.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Kagome! I didn't mean to shock you!" Kagome stood up and turned to the side, away from Sango. She watched as Kagome suddenly turned around. She pointed at Sango and started laughing.
"W-what? W-what's so funny?" Sango asked as she was still blushing. Kagome waved her finger around at Sango. "YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH MIROKU-SAMA, AREN'T YOU?" Kagome cried as she rolled on the floor with laughter.
Sango turned so red that you could hardly see her facial features. "I AM NOT!!!!!!!" Kagome wiped tears out of her eyes as she stood back up. "Thanks, Sango, you've made this evening a bit better for me..."
"I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH HOUSHI-SAMA!!!" she stated once again. Sango immediately quieted down in fear. "Oh no...what if he heard me?..."
Kagome began laughing again. "See?! You worried that you'll reveal your true feelings!!"
"SHUT UP!!!! LIKE YOUR SITUATION WITH INUYASHA IS ANY DIFFERENT!!!" Sango exclaimed.
At this, Kagome instantly stopped laughing. She glared coldly at Sango. Sango stepped back in surprise at her cold stare. *Perhaps that was going a little too far...*
Sango jumped when Kagome walked right in front of her. She expected a big slap, but Kagome simply placed her hand forward.
"Truce?" she asked, motioning at her hand.
Sango hesitated, then she slowly reached out and shook Kagome's hand. "T- truce..." She was glad she hadn't gone into any more detail about Inuyasha, or Kagome might have really slapped her. Kagome was very sensitive about those things.
*God hath not helpethed me this day...* Kaede thought as she sat among the others. Already, she had been forced to kiss Jii-chan twice, and Shippou a second time. She was glad she hadn't had to kiss Miroku, and frankly, so was Miroku. Although he was tired of having to kiss Shippou every time he spun.
"Alright, Kaede, one more spin for you. Then we're finished," Miroku said. Kaede sighed in relief. *Finally...it finally ends...*
Kaede reached forward and spun the bottle her third time. Much to her displeasure, it landed on Jii-chan once again. Jii-chan whooped and danced a little jig.
"Alright...just kisseth me and get thee over with..." Kaede muttered. Miroku shook his finger. "Uh uh uh...there's a special rule."
Kaede's eyes widened. "W-what rule does ye speak of?..." Miroku smirked. "In Spin-the-Bottle, when two certain people get in a position to kiss for their third time, they have to spend "Seven Minutes in Heaven"."
Jii-chan walked over to Kaede. "Come then, my sweet, let us go!" Kaede protested. "W-wait, what be-eth this Seven Minutes in Heaven??!"
"It means that you and Kagome's granddad have to stay locked up in a closet for seven minutes," Miroku said simply. Kaede was beginning to panic. "Doing what??!!!"
Miroku smirked again. "Whatever your little hearts desire." Jii-chan had grabbed Kaede's arm and was pulling her to the nearest closest. "N-no, wait! Do I absolutely have to doeth this?!! I quit, I forfeit, I don't want to playeth this game again!!"
"Gomen, Kaede-baba, you haven't a choice." Miroku put his hand to his head in a salute. "Good luck!" Kaede screamed in terror as Jii-chan tossed her into the nearest closet. Jii-chan laughed an evil laugh and jumped in after her, closing the door behind him.
Miroku chuckled. "They actually look kinda cute together. Bet Kagome wouldn't approve...."
"...Miroku-sama? What are they really going to do in there?"
Miroku cringed, remembering that Shippou was still around. "Um...they're going to...have some tea! Yes, that's what they're going to!" Miroku wasn't sure where he got that answer from, but it worked for him.
Shippou smiled. "Cool! I want some tea too!" he exclaimed as he began to walk towards the closet. Miroku gritted his teeth and blocked Shippou. "Y- you can't do that!"
Shippou frowned. "Why not? I want to drink tea with them." Miroku tried to think again. "Well...they don't have enough for you. There's only enough tea in that closet for two people. Tough break."
Shippou sighed. "Darn..." Just then, some noises began coming from the closet. Objects could be heard falling off the shelves as the patter of feet ran around.
"Gosh...they sure drink loudly," Shippou noted. An embarrassed Miroku put his hands to his face in frustration. "When you're older, Shippou...when you're older..." he muttered to himself.
In the living room, Souta was looking out the window, taking up Kagome's former place. The boy suddenly came to attention and poked at Myouga. "Myouga-san, look. Someone is out there."
Kouga, who was twirling around wildly, twirled behind them. "Who it be?"
Back upstairs, Kagome lay on her bed as Sango walked around. She looked annoyed.
"I can't believe that hanyou," Sango said with anger. "Promising to you and then not showing up...how incredibly rude..."
Kagome sighed and rolled onto her back. "I just don't know....he sounded like he really wanted to come."
*I was just messin' with ya before. I'll go to your party thing. Sounds interesting.*
"But did he really mean that?..." Kagome asked quietly to no one. Slowly, a tear began to drip down her face. *Inuyasha...how could you break your promise to me?...*
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Sango was now the only one in Kagome's room. The sudden gust of wind fluttered down as the door swung back and forth. Sango fell to the ground in surprise.
Seemingly in slow motion, Kagome charged down the stairs like a rampaging bull. She turned at the corner and towards the door. Kouga was already at the door, about to open it.
"Nnnnnnnooooooooooo!" Kagome cried in slow-motion as she charged at the door. Anything in her way would suffer the consequences. Kouga learned this the hard way when he was sent flying into the air and crashing into the ceiling.
But Kagome didn't stop at the door. She kept running. The door was flung open by her charging-self, and she plowed into a surprised Inuyasha.
The two fell back into the yard, landing in a similar position as earlier. Except Kagome landed on top this time. Everyone in the house, except Jii- chan and Kaede, ran to the open door to see what happened.
What they saw was a crying Kagome lying on top of a blushing Inuyasha as she hugged him. "YOU CAME! YOU CAME!! I KNEW THE WHOLE TIME YOU WOULDN'T FORGET, I KNEW IT!!!"
Sango rolled her eyes, considering the way she heard Kagome act before. *I expected that boy to get slapped,* she thought.
Her expectations did not go undone, though. A moment later, Kagome stopped hugging Inuyasha and slapped him. "And just WHERE have you been?! Do you realize how late it is?! You had me worried sick!!!"
Inuyasha was still a little taken by surprise. "I'm here, ain't I? Isn't that good enough?"
Kagome gritted her teeth. She jumped onto her feet and grabbed Inuyasha's arm. With a swift toss, she threw Inuyasha into the air. Inuyasha screamed as he disappeared amongst the clouds.
"Woo-hoo!" Kouga yelled as he held up a sign that said 9.0. Shippou and Myouga went on to hold up an 8.5 and 7.3.
"SIT!!!!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs. An instant later, the screaming Inuyasha charged down to Earth and slammed into the ground on his rump.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!! SIT!! SIT!!!"
Inuyasha groaned and yelped in pain as Kagome continued to sit him over and over. Sango and Miroku sighed in unison.
"Well, they're acting as normal as ever, I guess," Miroku said quietly. Finally, Kagome stopped. She smiled firmly as an aching Inuyasha stood up.
"W-what was that for, wench?..." he asked wearily. Kagome smiled. "Your punishment for being late. Now, shall we party?" Inuyasha face-faulted. *Why me...*
"Just help me pull, would ya'?"
"Rin, please aid the homo."
Kagome looked over to the building with the well in surprise. There were voices coming out of it. Inuyasha sighed as Kagome looked down at him. "You brought some others along with you?"
Suddenly, the remaining of Inuyasha's party plowed out into the open. Jakotsu and Rin had a firm grip of Sesshomaru's hair, which had gotten caught in some cobwebs. Jaken was furiously ripping the webs out of his lord's white hair.
Inuyasha waved his arms and motioned to them. "Allow me to introduce...the reason I am late," he said sarcastically. The rest of the group face- faulted.
Kagome was confused. "You brought these guys along?..." Inuyasha groaned. "Actually, they came by themselves. They wanted to party as well."
"Well, the more the merrier, I say," Sango said. "But...these four are our enemies."
"No no, that's in the past!" Sesshomaru explained. "I'm not a bad guy anymore, really!"
Sesshomaru ran forward and put an arm around his brother's shoulder. "Would this face lie?" he asked as he grinned oddly. Sango stepped backwards nervously.
"Ah...ha ha, I guess not. He looks pretty harmless like that." Then Sango pointed at Jakotsu. "What about that one? I'm pretty sure he tried to kill you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha growled, "I'll bet he wanted to do something else as well..." Jakotsu grinned. "I only want to be friends with Inu-chan and his pals! My evil days are over, for sure!"
"Really..." Kagome muttered. Suddenly, she started to look around. "Hey, I sense two jewel shards..."
Inuyasha watched Kagome as her eyes went to his pants pocket. She gasped. "So Myouga was telling the truth..." Myouga, who was now on Kagome's shoulder, gave her an "I told you so" face.
"But you only have one shard...who's got the other one?..."
"Eeee!!" Inuyasha remembered something at that moment. "K-Kagome...I don't think you wanna look for that second shard..."
Kagome eyed Inuyasha suspiciously. "Why not?....oh." She turned towards Jakotsu. "I think it's coming from him..."
Inuyasha began shaking his head and waving his hands at Kagome. But it was too late. She had spotted where Jakotsu's shard was.
'SMACK'
Jakotsu lay twitching against the small building with the well. Kagome shuddered angrily. "Pervert! I'll bet you want some girl to take it out of you too, huh?"
Jakotsu protested. "Why would I want some stupid girl to take it from me? Besides, if anyone was to do so..." he trailed off as he smiled slyly at Inuyasha.
'SMACK-SMACK'
There was now a hole in the building, with Jakotsu's legs dangling out. Inuyasha and Kagome twitched as they both eased their hands down.
"Weirdo..." they both said at the same time.
"So, Kagome, what are we to do with them?" Miroku asked. Kagome groaned. "Sesshomaru and his bunch may join us."
"What of Jakotsu?"
"Only if he wants to. But, he must be kept under surveillance," she said. Inuyasha nodded in agreement. "If he acts like that around me too much, can I have permission to kill him?" he asked Kagome.
Kagome smirked. "Sure, sure. His life means nothing to us." Inuyasha grinned as he clenched his fist.
"Alright then, let's head back inside everyone!" Kagome said.
The group began to head back into the house. As Inuyasha passed Kouga, Kouga spit in his face drunkenly. Inuyasha slashed a line through his face in response. Kouga cried pathetically and clawed at his face in pain.
As she was about to follow, Kagome was stopped by Myouga's voice. "What an interesting irony this is. You believed that Inuyasha was doing things with Kikyou, but he was actually finding another jewel shard, and seemingly found more party guests. Sounds as if he was doing something you would approve of rather than disapprove."
Kagome didn't reply. She just gave Myouga an annoyed glare. But still, she felt kinda bad. She had gotten all mad at Inuyasha for nothing, really.
"Would someone please direct me to your cleaning establishment? I MUST get these webs out of my hair!"
A/N: Yay, he's finally arrived! ^_^ And it looks like things are going to be okay...or are they? Hey, I'm not gonna make a happy ending just yet. There must be ONE more disturbance. And I'm sure you all know what that's gonna be. :p Anyways, time for some CLICKING!
Next time on "Party at the Higurashi's!": Inuyasha receives some "tips" from his bro, as promised earlier. But will they be any good? And the person that everyone loves to hate and hates to love shows up at the party. Oh no, not that person!!! _ We can all assume this person was NOT invited by Kagome, for obvious reasons. See all this next time!
Inuyasha: About damn time!
Yes, of course. So now....*reads sorena27's review*.....Inu and Jakotsu yaoi???!!! O_o I wouldn't dream of it! What a horrible image! _
Inuyasha: ~_O
My thoughts exactly, Inu-chan. And also, you think Miroku will misbehave in Spin the Bottle? Well, you may be surprised.....erp! I'd better not give anything away! _ Read on to find out what I won't tell you! NOW! ^_^
Chapter 3: Sango's Shock and For Being Late, You Get a Sitting, Mister!

"Do you know what time it is?" he said with a grin.

"Time to jump on all the beds and scream til' our lungs give out?" Shippou asked.
"Time to swoon over Kaede-baba?" Jii-chan asked as he stared at Kaede. Kaede gave him a nasty glance. "Don't maketh me hit thee again."
Miroku shook his head. "Nope, not a chance, and no way. It's time to~"
"Bring houshi-sama back to the living room where he belongs?" Sango finished for him when she suddenly appeared. "Well did I get it right?"
"Aw, not now, Sango! I wanted to play Spin-the-Bottle with these guys!"
At this, Jii-chan grinned and stared harder at Kaede. Kaede gulped. "What be this game of "Spin-the-Bottle"?"

Kagome suddenly raised her eyebrows at Sango. Now, this was JUST a kiss, wasn't it?" Sango turned bright red. "OF COURSE IT WAS JUST A KISS!" She then quieted down. "But, he did try to enter my mouth..."
"WHHAAAATTTT?! HE WANTED TO DO THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OTHERS?!" Kagome exclaimed. Sango turned even redder. "His TONGUE, Kagome, his TONGUE. Get those nasty thoughts out of your head!!"
Now it was Kagome's turn to blush. "S-sorry...so what did you do about that?" Sango shuddered. "This is the part that confuses me the most...I was actually going to let him...."
At this, Kagome fainted. Sango clasped her hands over her mouth, wondering if she had shocked Kagome too badly. But Kagome woke up a second later.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Kagome! I didn't mean to shock you!" Kagome stood up and turned to the side, away from Sango. She watched as Kagome suddenly turned around. She pointed at Sango and started laughing.
"W-what? W-what's so funny?" Sango asked as she was still blushing. Kagome waved her finger around at Sango. "YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH MIROKU-SAMA, AREN'T YOU?" Kagome cried as she rolled on the floor with laughter.
Sango turned so red that you could hardly see her facial features. "I AM NOT!!!!!!!" Kagome wiped tears out of her eyes as she stood back up. "Thanks, Sango, you've made this evening a bit better for me..."
"I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH HOUSHI-SAMA!!!" she stated once again. Sango immediately quieted down in fear. "Oh no...what if he heard me?..."
Kagome began laughing again. "See?! You worried that you'll reveal your true feelings!!"
"SHUT UP!!!! LIKE YOUR SITUATION WITH INUYASHA IS ANY DIFFERENT!!!" Sango exclaimed.
At this, Kagome instantly stopped laughing. She glared coldly at Sango. Sango stepped back in surprise at her cold stare. *Perhaps that was going a little too far...*
Sango jumped when Kagome walked right in front of her. She expected a big slap, but Kagome simply placed her hand forward.
"Truce?" she asked, motioning at her hand.
Sango hesitated, then she slowly reached out and shook Kagome's hand. "T- truce..." She was glad she hadn't gone into any more detail about Inuyasha, or Kagome might have really slapped her. Kagome was very sensitive about those things.
*God hath not helpethed me this day...* Kaede thought as she sat among the others. Already, she had been forced to kiss Jii-chan twice, and Shippou a second time. She was glad she hadn't had to kiss Miroku, and frankly, so was Miroku. Although he was tired of having to kiss Shippou every time he spun.
"Alright, Kaede, one more spin for you. Then we're finished," Miroku said. Kaede sighed in relief. *Finally...it finally ends...*
Kaede reached forward and spun the bottle her third time. Much to her displeasure, it landed on Jii-chan once again. Jii-chan whooped and danced a little jig.
"Alright...just kisseth me and get thee over with..." Kaede muttered. Miroku shook his finger. "Uh uh uh...there's a special rule."
Kaede's eyes widened. "W-what rule does ye speak of?..." Miroku smirked. "In Spin-the-Bottle, when two certain people get in a position to kiss for their third time, they have to spend "Seven Minutes in Heaven"."
Jii-chan walked over to Kaede. "Come then, my sweet, let us go!" Kaede protested. "W-wait, what be-eth this Seven Minutes in Heaven??!"
"It means that you and Kagome's granddad have to stay locked up in a closet for seven minutes," Miroku said simply. Kaede was beginning to panic. "Doing what??!!!"
Miroku smirked again. "Whatever your little hearts desire." Jii-chan had grabbed Kaede's arm and was pulling her to the nearest closest. "N-no, wait! Do I absolutely have to doeth this?!! I quit, I forfeit, I don't want to playeth this game again!!"
"Gomen, Kaede-baba, you haven't a choice." Miroku put his hand to his head in a salute. "Good luck!" Kaede screamed in terror as Jii-chan tossed her into the nearest closet. Jii-chan laughed an evil laugh and jumped in after her, closing the door behind him.
Miroku chuckled. "They actually look kinda cute together. Bet Kagome wouldn't approve...."
"...Miroku-sama? What are they really going to do in there?"
Miroku cringed, remembering that Shippou was still around. "Um...they're going to...have some tea! Yes, that's what they're going to!" Miroku wasn't sure where he got that answer from, but it worked for him.
Shippou smiled. "Cool! I want some tea too!" he exclaimed as he began to walk towards the closet. Miroku gritted his teeth and blocked Shippou. "Y- you can't do that!"
Shippou frowned. "Why not? I want to drink tea with them." Miroku tried to think again. "Well...they don't have enough for you. There's only enough tea in that closet for two people. Tough break."
Shippou sighed. "Darn..." Just then, some noises began coming from the closet. Objects could be heard falling off the shelves as the patter of feet ran around.
"Gosh...they sure drink loudly," Shippou noted. An embarrassed Miroku put his hands to his face in frustration. "When you're older, Shippou...when you're older..." he muttered to himself.
In the living room, Souta was looking out the window, taking up Kagome's former place. The boy suddenly came to attention and poked at Myouga. "Myouga-san, look. Someone is out there."
Kouga, who was twirling around wildly, twirled behind them. "Who it be?"
Back upstairs, Kagome lay on her bed as Sango walked around. She looked annoyed.
"I can't believe that hanyou," Sango said with anger. "Promising to you and then not showing up...how incredibly rude..."
Kagome sighed and rolled onto her back. "I just don't know....he sounded like he really wanted to come."
*I was just messin' with ya before. I'll go to your party thing. Sounds interesting.*
"But did he really mean that?..." Kagome asked quietly to no one. Slowly, a tear began to drip down her face. *Inuyasha...how could you break your promise to me?...*
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Sango was now the only one in Kagome's room. The sudden gust of wind fluttered down as the door swung back and forth. Sango fell to the ground in surprise.
Seemingly in slow motion, Kagome charged down the stairs like a rampaging bull. She turned at the corner and towards the door. Kouga was already at the door, about to open it.
"Nnnnnnnooooooooooo!" Kagome cried in slow-motion as she charged at the door. Anything in her way would suffer the consequences. Kouga learned this the hard way when he was sent flying into the air and crashing into the ceiling.
But Kagome didn't stop at the door. She kept running. The door was flung open by her charging-self, and she plowed into a surprised Inuyasha.
The two fell back into the yard, landing in a similar position as earlier. Except Kagome landed on top this time. Everyone in the house, except Jii- chan and Kaede, ran to the open door to see what happened.
What they saw was a crying Kagome lying on top of a blushing Inuyasha as she hugged him. "YOU CAME! YOU CAME!! I KNEW THE WHOLE TIME YOU WOULDN'T FORGET, I KNEW IT!!!"
Sango rolled her eyes, considering the way she heard Kagome act before. *I expected that boy to get slapped,* she thought.
Her expectations did not go undone, though. A moment later, Kagome stopped hugging Inuyasha and slapped him. "And just WHERE have you been?! Do you realize how late it is?! You had me worried sick!!!"
Inuyasha was still a little taken by surprise. "I'm here, ain't I? Isn't that good enough?"
Kagome gritted her teeth. She jumped onto her feet and grabbed Inuyasha's arm. With a swift toss, she threw Inuyasha into the air. Inuyasha screamed as he disappeared amongst the clouds.
"Woo-hoo!" Kouga yelled as he held up a sign that said 9.0. Shippou and Myouga went on to hold up an 8.5 and 7.3.
"SIT!!!!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs. An instant later, the screaming Inuyasha charged down to Earth and slammed into the ground on his rump.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!! SIT!! SIT!!!"
Inuyasha groaned and yelped in pain as Kagome continued to sit him over and over. Sango and Miroku sighed in unison.
"Well, they're acting as normal as ever, I guess," Miroku said quietly. Finally, Kagome stopped. She smiled firmly as an aching Inuyasha stood up.
"W-what was that for, wench?..." he asked wearily. Kagome smiled. "Your punishment for being late. Now, shall we party?" Inuyasha face-faulted. *Why me...*
"Just help me pull, would ya'?"
"Rin, please aid the homo."
Kagome looked over to the building with the well in surprise. There were voices coming out of it. Inuyasha sighed as Kagome looked down at him. "You brought some others along with you?"
Suddenly, the remaining of Inuyasha's party plowed out into the open. Jakotsu and Rin had a firm grip of Sesshomaru's hair, which had gotten caught in some cobwebs. Jaken was furiously ripping the webs out of his lord's white hair.
Inuyasha waved his arms and motioned to them. "Allow me to introduce...the reason I am late," he said sarcastically. The rest of the group face- faulted.
Kagome was confused. "You brought these guys along?..." Inuyasha groaned. "Actually, they came by themselves. They wanted to party as well."
"Well, the more the merrier, I say," Sango said. "But...these four are our enemies."
"No no, that's in the past!" Sesshomaru explained. "I'm not a bad guy anymore, really!"
Sesshomaru ran forward and put an arm around his brother's shoulder. "Would this face lie?" he asked as he grinned oddly. Sango stepped backwards nervously.
"Ah...ha ha, I guess not. He looks pretty harmless like that." Then Sango pointed at Jakotsu. "What about that one? I'm pretty sure he tried to kill you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha growled, "I'll bet he wanted to do something else as well..." Jakotsu grinned. "I only want to be friends with Inu-chan and his pals! My evil days are over, for sure!"
"Really..." Kagome muttered. Suddenly, she started to look around. "Hey, I sense two jewel shards..."
Inuyasha watched Kagome as her eyes went to his pants pocket. She gasped. "So Myouga was telling the truth..." Myouga, who was now on Kagome's shoulder, gave her an "I told you so" face.
"But you only have one shard...who's got the other one?..."
"Eeee!!" Inuyasha remembered something at that moment. "K-Kagome...I don't think you wanna look for that second shard..."
Kagome eyed Inuyasha suspiciously. "Why not?....oh." She turned towards Jakotsu. "I think it's coming from him..."
Inuyasha began shaking his head and waving his hands at Kagome. But it was too late. She had spotted where Jakotsu's shard was.
'SMACK'
Jakotsu lay twitching against the small building with the well. Kagome shuddered angrily. "Pervert! I'll bet you want some girl to take it out of you too, huh?"
Jakotsu protested. "Why would I want some stupid girl to take it from me? Besides, if anyone was to do so..." he trailed off as he smiled slyly at Inuyasha.
'SMACK-SMACK'
There was now a hole in the building, with Jakotsu's legs dangling out. Inuyasha and Kagome twitched as they both eased their hands down.
"Weirdo..." they both said at the same time.
"So, Kagome, what are we to do with them?" Miroku asked. Kagome groaned. "Sesshomaru and his bunch may join us."
"What of Jakotsu?"
"Only if he wants to. But, he must be kept under surveillance," she said. Inuyasha nodded in agreement. "If he acts like that around me too much, can I have permission to kill him?" he asked Kagome.
Kagome smirked. "Sure, sure. His life means nothing to us." Inuyasha grinned as he clenched his fist.
"Alright then, let's head back inside everyone!" Kagome said.
The group began to head back into the house. As Inuyasha passed Kouga, Kouga spit in his face drunkenly. Inuyasha slashed a line through his face in response. Kouga cried pathetically and clawed at his face in pain.
As she was about to follow, Kagome was stopped by Myouga's voice. "What an interesting irony this is. You believed that Inuyasha was doing things with Kikyou, but he was actually finding another jewel shard, and seemingly found more party guests. Sounds as if he was doing something you would approve of rather than disapprove."
Kagome didn't reply. She just gave Myouga an annoyed glare. But still, she felt kinda bad. She had gotten all mad at Inuyasha for nothing, really.
"Would someone please direct me to your cleaning establishment? I MUST get these webs out of my hair!"
A/N: Yay, he's finally arrived! ^_^ And it looks like things are going to be okay...or are they? Hey, I'm not gonna make a happy ending just yet. There must be ONE more disturbance. And I'm sure you all know what that's gonna be. :p Anyways, time for some CLICKING!
Next time on "Party at the Higurashi's!": Inuyasha receives some "tips" from his bro, as promised earlier. But will they be any good? And the person that everyone loves to hate and hates to love shows up at the party. Oh no, not that person!!! _ We can all assume this person was NOT invited by Kagome, for obvious reasons. See all this next time!
