Luxury Never was Cheap
Chapter four


The clock ticked on the wall as the two sat in silence for what seemed like ages. Inuyasha and Kagome sat in an uneasy silence as they stared out the window, rain still drumming the delicate glass surface.

Tick.

Tock.

Kagome sighed and fidgeted.

Tock.

Tick.

Inuyasha tried to wiggle his toes without causing sever pain and damage to the broken body part.

Tick.

To…

"God damn it!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly making Kagome jumped and fall off the couch. A look of pure bewilderment on her face as Inuyasha let out another string of curses.

"Honestly, Inuyasha it can't be that bad," Kagome sighed as she stood up and dusted the imaginary dust off her pants.

Inuyasha sighed and plopped his foot onto the coffee table. He looked at Kagome, and then turned away.

Kagome smiled warmly at him and walked towards the kitchen, "Are you hungry?"

Inuyasha averted his gaze and stared, yet again, out the window, "Whatever."

Kagome sighed, "Look, Inuyasha, I'm sorry about your foot, but could you stop sulking? I didn't ask to babysit you, and you're not making my job easy."

Inuyasha scowled at her, "I don't need your help, wench."

Kagome felt her anger rising as she marched over and stood, her dark aura flaring around her as she glared at Inuyasha. If looks could kill, Inuyasha would have died one hundred fifty two and a half times.

Inuyasha gulped at the intimidating look Kagome was giving him and he unconsciously scooted away from her. Kagome growled angrily as she grabbed a nearby lamp and started to bash Inuyasha's skull.

Inuyasha whimpered in pain as Kagome pulled away, clutching the lamp like a lifeline. "Now then, you'll stop being a little bastard and enjoy my company, got it!" Kagome glared and waited for Inuyasha to cross her.

Luckily, Inuyasha wasn't that stupid, so he only nodded briskly and hid himself behind some pillows, as if those would save him.

Kagome grinned and skipped off towards the kitchen, "In that case, I'll make you some ramen!"

Inuyasha's face brightened as he hobbled to his feet and limped towards the kitchen, the look of a kid in a candy shop on his face, "Yay, Ramen!"

Kagome giggled and whopped him on the head with a wooden spoon playfully, "You're such a little kid, Inuyasha!"




"Sango?" Miroku asked as he sneaked behind the girl who stood in front of a window, admiring the clothing the models displayed.

"What?" Sango asked, her eyes casting a far off look as she looked dreamily at the clothing.

"What on Earth are you gawking at?" Miroku asked, not sure how the shirt she was staring at was different from the one Sango was wearing at that moment.

Sango looked at the green shirt one last time before shaking her head and turning to him with a smile, "It's nothing, forget it."

Miroku looked at the shirt as Sango continued walking towards the car. She unlocked it and turned to Miroku with a smile, "Let's go, Miroku."

She blinked in surprise as she realized that Miroku was no longer standing behind her. She felt something in her chest clench as she imagined that Miroku had found another pretty girl to grope.

Sure enough, Miroku came back, looking rather pleased with him and holding something behind his back. Sango raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Come on, Miroku; let's go home before Kagome and Inuyasha kill each other."

She walked towards the driver's seat but paused when Miroku didn't follow. She mentally sighed and cursed under her breath. "Look, Miroku, I don't know what you're doing, but could you please just get in the god damn car? I know you don't like my driving but could…could…you..."

Sango stared as Miroku handed her a box. He grinned stupidly as Sango opened it to reveal the shirt that she'd been staring at not even five minutes ago.

Her jaw dropped as she clutched the shirt in her hands. She looked up at Miroku with smiling eyes, "Miroku, I don't know what to say, you, you didn't have to do that."

"But I wanted to, Sango," Miroku said as she smiled.

"Is there any way I can thank you?" Sango asked, before she realized what she said and what Miroku was capable of wanting.

Miroku mocked bowed to Sango and his smile grew, "I would enjoy it if you were to accompany me to a movie tonight, my dearest Sango."

Sango sweat dropped. Typical.

Sango plastered on a smile and, sadly, thought of an excuse, "I can't Miroku, you see, every Wednesday is my boycott day!"

"Boycott day?" Miroku asked. His eyebrows rose to his hairline in confusion.

Sango nodded, "Yes, every Wednesday I boycott something! It's just my thing, what can I say, I'm a rebel!"

Miroku raised an eyebrow, "And what, pray tell, are you boycotting this week?"

Sango shrugged and whipped out her cell phone. She stood there for a few minutes before the click of someone picking up the line was heard, "Dad?"

Miroku paled, great, Sango was going to tell her dad that she had a stalker.

There was a pause on the line and Sango laughed. Miroku practically melted, she had a lovely laugh and he suddenly wanted to make her laugh all the time.

"Listen, Dad, what did I boycott last week?" Sango paused and nodded, "I boycotted socks? Eww. Well, ok, thanks dad!"

She hung up the phone and looked at Miroku, who was looking at her with a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Miroku?"

"Sango, I shall boycott with you!" Miroku said happily as he whipped off his socks and stood bare foot, people passing by gave him an odd look before continuing on their way.

"Eh, Miroku, I can't boycott socks this week because I did it last week," Sango plugged her nose, "And for the love of god, please put those back on."

Miroku grumbled and replaced his bare feet with socks.




Kagome sighed as she stacked all the cups of ramen into a little pile, all of them being inhaled by Inuyasha in about thirty seconds flat. The boy was going to get digestion problems.

She put all the ramen cups into the garbage and walked out into the living room to tell Inuyasha he better eat some stomach medicine before he started getting stomach problems when she noticed that the boy was asleep.

His chest moved up and down with his soft breathing. Kagome watched transfixed with the way his face remained so calm and child-like. His hard features were smoothed out by his peaceful slumber and the lines of worry had been ironed out. Kagome hesitantly reached out and brushed his black bangs away from his closed eyes. His lips curved slightly at the edges as he stretched out and reached behind him, where a soft purring could be heard.

Kagome raised an eyebrow as she leaned over Inuyasha's toned chest to look at what he was petting.

Kirara and Buyo both looked up at her, looks of contentment on their little kitty faces. Kagome nearly laughed out loud. After all the fuss Inuyasha went through to try and get rid of her cats, and here he was, willingly sleeping with them.

His smile never faltered as the two cats moved and rested themselves on his stomach.

And then Kagome got an idea.

She grinned wickedly as she dashed out the apartment building to complete her task.



About thirty minutes later Inuyasha awoke to the sounds of purring. He instantly paled.

'oh god, I am dreaming, I'll close my eyes and when I open them, there will not be any cats within a twenty mile radius,' he gulped as he slammed his eyes shut and opened them again, only to be met by a pair of yellow eyes and another pair of red eyes.

"Gah!" Inuyasha shouted, making the two cats skid away in a panic, trying to escape the crazed young man.

Inuyasha ran around screaming in a panic. At least he would have if his bandaged foot hadn't hit the coffee table. His eyes widened and he grasped his foot, "Fuck!"

He hopped around holding his foot up to his stomach as he tried to sooth the uncontrollable pain. Then God decided that he hated Inuyasha and made him hit the coffee table again.

He let out another string of curses as he collapsed to the floor, clutching both of his feet as he rolled around in a circle, occasionally running into some more furniture.

And this, of course, is how Kagome found him.

She clutched a box to her stomach as she witnessed the boy roll around like an idiot and hit his head on the armchair that belonged to Miroku.

"Inuyasha, what the hell are you doing?" Kagome asked as she walked over to him and knocked his head with the box.

A soft noise sounded from the box and Inuyasha peered up into Kagome's stormy eyes.

"What does it look like I'm doing, wench!?" Inuyasha snarled as he eyed the box. "What the hell is that?"

Kagome grinned and set the box down and started to unclasp the lid. Inuyasha peered inside the holes in the box and his eyes widened, "Oh no!"

Kagome grinned as the little black kitten strolled out of the box and looked up at Inuyasha with deep blue eyes. It mewed and started to rub up against his arm. Inuyasha whimpered in fear, but was still too hurt to move.

The kitten looked at Inuyasha, and then back to Kagome before continuing to rub up against Inuyasha's forearm. The muscles clenched and Inuyasha tried desperately to not throw the kitten out the window.

It was too small for him to hurt. Too fragile.

Kagome smiled and picked up the kitten. The kitten purred and mewed as Kagome stroked its little head delicately.

"Why did you buy that...thing!" Inuyasha growled as he tried to stand up. His eyes avoiding the black cat in Kagome's hands.

"I thought she was cute, and it would help you get over your fears!" Kagome said smiling at the black-haired boy. His braid slightly messed up from his sleeping and then rolling around.

Kagome sighed, "Besides Inuyasha, it's a silly fear, cats will not hurt you!"

Inuyasha growled and he turned his face away, furious, "You're such a bitch, not even considering my feelings."

Kagome's eyes narrowed dangerously as she stared at Inuyasha. He looked dead serious as he looked into her eyes.

Her eyes widened with realization as she dropped the kitten onto the couch and looked at her feet. "I'm sorry," she said so quietly that Inuyasha almost missed it. She ran past him and out the door, tears running down her cheeks.

Inuyasha stared in surprise and noticed that the cat was giving him a look. He groaned and grabbed an umbrella before running after her, "Stupid girl!"

He slammed the door shut and ran after Kagome.




Meanwhile, Kagome was running down the empty streets. People having left due to the rain, tears mixed with the raindrops that were pelting her face as she skidded down the road in order to turn sharply. She had only wanted to help Inuyasha, and then he had to go and be a big jerk about it.

She just wanted to help him.

Now that she stopped to think about it, it was kind of cruel to do that to him without his knowledge, but the cats weren't going to kill him, he was just being an asshole.

She tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and slumped down to the ground. Her knees were skinned and damaged, her blood was being washed away from the rain and she felt suddenly so cold and lonely that the pain was almost overwhelming.

Kagome felt the rain suddenly stop from falling she looked up to see an umbrella over her head. She sighed and turned to the holder, "Oh, it's you."

She turned away and tried to walk away, but the umbrella holder grabbed her wrist, "Kagome, please, are you ok?"

Kagome glared, "Do I look ok?"




Inuyasha ran down the street, holding the closed umbrella clasped in his hand, he found it extremely hard to run when the thing was opened.

He was also finding it hard to run with a soggy cast on his foot.

Damn, didn't the doctors make it waterproof? Stupid people.

He was just about to turn a corner when out of nowhere a punch came flying and knocked him off his feet. The umbrella was ripped from his hand and the world turned blurry, "Damn it."

"I'll take that!" Inuyasha looked up to see that his umbrella stealer was no other than Kouga.

"What the hell are you doing you bastard?" Inuyasha wheezed out, having hit his head on the cement hadn't really been the most fun thing in the world.

Kouga looked in a direction and watched as a lone figure fell to the ground, "If you'll excuse me, I think its time I get my girlfriend back."

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed as the boy walked towards the fallen Kagome.

Inuyasha clamped his eyes shut, trying to get the nauseating feeling out of his chest, "Damn it, Kagome, run."

He struggled to get up and wobbled towards Kagome and Kouga. Kagome was talking to Kouga and as he got closer he was able to hear their conversation.

"Leave me alone, Kouga," Kagome whimpered as she rubbed her bloody knees.

"But my dearest Kagome, I miss you, why do you go out with the dog-face when you could go out with the great and almighty Kouga?" Inuyasha snorted. "Besides, he made you cry didn't he?"

Kagome stiffened and nodded.

"You see, I would never make you cry!"

"You've made me cry twice!" Kagome screamed and shoved him aside, grabbed his umbrella and started to march away. Kouga sat in a daze and watched as his fair maiden walked away. "At least Inuyasha has the decency to make me feel better!"

Inuyasha leapt up to follow her, but not without kicking Kouga in the stomach. Served him right for making Kagome hurt like that.

Then he paled.

He'd done the same to her.

He quickly hobbled after her.

Kagome paused as she heard Inuyasha curse about the injustice of broken bones. She turned with him with a sad look. Inuyasha bowed his head and shuffled along beside her. "How much did you hear?" she asked so softly that Inuyasha had to strain his ears to hear.

Inuyasha's eyes softened as he patted her back reassuringly, "Kagome."

Kagome looked at him with tears in her eyes before she tossed aside the umbrella and flung herself into his arms, her cheek pressed tightly to his chest.

Inuyasha stood very still for a moment, before his arms crept around her back and held her to him, "Its ok, Kagome."

Kagome nodded against his chest and mumbled something.

"What was that?" Inuyasha asked, puling away from her to look her in the eyes.

Kagome smiled and started walking, expecting Inuyasha to follow, which he did. "I said, thanks for coming to get me."

Inuyasha felt his heart clench as he walked beside her, "I'm the one who should be thanking you." Kagome looked at him questionably. "It's my fault you ran out here, it's because I'm a cold hearted bastard, but yet, you're always so nice to me."

Kagome smiled and got an egotistical smile on her face, "Yeah, but I knew you'd come crawling back."

Inuyasha snorted, "I'm sure I'd be crawling too."

"Oh course you would," Kagome said laughing, "Come on, hop-along!"

Inuyasha growled as he did hop along after Kagome all the while slightly relieved to see her laughing again.

Kagome looked around and her face broke into a huge grin and she started to hop around Inuyasha like a rabbit. "Kagome, what in the seven hells are you doing?"

Kagome grinned and pointed to a building in the distance. Well, multiple buildings and through the rain, Inuyasha could barely make out a large tree.

He raised an eyebrow.

Kagome's grin never faltered, "It's my family's shrine!"

Inuyasha blinked in surprise and looked at the large marble staircase Kagome was already starting to climb up. He snarled at the staircase as he began to walk up very slowly and tried to go after Kagome, after all, she had the house keys, him being the genius that he is left the keys in the apartment.

"God damn it Kagome will you slow down?" Inuyasha managed out as he nearly slipped and toppled down the staircase.

Kagome, who seemed to finally realize that Inuyasha might be having issues and turned to offer him her hand. He took it happily and allowed himself to be helped up the staircase.

Kagome nearly skipped across the shrine grounds as she came to the front door and knocked briskly. An old man wearing a traditional hakama and haori outfit opened the door and he stared at Kagome before breaking into a smile, "Kagome!"

Kagome grinned and hugged the old man, "Grandpa!" Inuyasha stood behind her, suddenly feeling really guilty in interfering with Kagome's family. He felt out of place and turned to leave, Kagome, however, noticed this. "Inuyasha? Where are you going?"

Inuyasha turned to her with a sad look in his eyes, "I don't want to interfere with your family, Kagome, I'll see you later."

He tried to walk away with dignity but ended up wobbling like a moron towards the stairs. He groaned out loud as he looked down the humongous flight of stairs. He stepped onto the first step when I hand lightly touched his shoulder.

He turned around to look at Kagome, who smiled and held an umbrella over his head, "Come on Inuyasha, and don't be like that. Come on in and meet my family."

Inuyasha blinked then smiled, "Ok."

Kagome grabbed his hand and walked slowly so as not to strain Inuyasha's foot. She slipped off her shoes and helped with Inuyasha's as she hung up his umbrella and walked towards the living room, her hand never letting go of Inuyasha's.

"Mama?" Kagome called into the warmth of the house.

"Kagome-Chan, is that you?" came an elder voice as a woman of about forty appeared, her warm features framed by brown wavy hair placed in a small bun at the back of her head. She wore an apron and looked the part of the perfect housewife. She smiled when she saw her daughter, "Oh Kagome-Chan, how I've missed you!"

She rushed forward and hugged her daughter to her like a security blanket and Inuyasha got a sinking feeling in his stomach, and a sense of longing.

"It's good to be home, mama," Kagome said as she released herself from her mother's warm embrace.

"And who is this lovely young man with you Kagome dear?" her mother asked as she eyed Inuyasha. He blushed slightly and averted his gaze to the floor.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha with a smile, "This is Inuyasha Ginga, mama."

Mrs. Higurashi beamed as she ruffled Inuyasha's braided head with slight amusement, "Kagome dearest, I certainly like this one better than Kouga, you should keep him around."

Inuyasha and Kagome both blushed, "What?"

"Ma...mama!" Kagome asked as she tried to cool her burning crimson face.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled, "Oh don't be embarrassed Kagome, he's a perfectly good boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Kagome screeched and looked horrified by the idea. That slightly pained Inuyasha, he knew he wasn't he most desirable person in the world but she didn't have to make such a scene about it.

"Oh, is he your fiancée then, Kagome dearest?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she searched Kagome's hands for an engagement ring.

"Mother!"

Mrs. Higurashi gasped, "Kagome, you didn't? You didn't get married without telling me did you?"

Kagome banged her head against a wall. Inuyasha watched and hesitantly reached out a hand, patting her shoulder and smiling softly at Kagome. He turned to Mrs. Higurashi, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I am merely a roommate."

Mrs. Higurashi relaxed and looked disappointed at the same time, "Ah poo, I was hoping that I would have a son."

"You do, mama!" cried a little boy who walked into the room. He looked a lot like Kagome, only younger and, well, obviously a boy. He sniffled, "I'm not a girl!"

Mrs. Higurashi soothed her son, "Souta, that's not what I meant, now be a dear and introduce yourself to our guest, and say hello to your sister!"

Souta huffed and stared at Kagome, "Hi, big sister!" The little boy's smile lit up his whole face as he shuffled over to Inuyasha, looking up at the twenty six year old he fidgeted with his fingers and then looked up at Inuyasha with big googly eyes. "Are you going to be my big brother?"

'What is wrong with this family?' Inuyasha thought to himself as he looked at the little boy and Kagome's mother, 'Damn, and I thought my family was weird' he sobered at that thought and looked away.

"Sorry, twerp, but your sister doesn't like me that much," he muttered only loud enough for Souta to hear. That was the last thing he wanted: for Kagome to hear that little comment.

"I'm Souta!" Souta exclaimed, "Do you play video games? I like video games there was this one time that I played a video game and it was all fun and stuff! And I won because I threw the chair at the wrestler and then ran towards the announcer first without being killed by the flying chickens! Isn't that cool? What's your name?"

Inuyasha stared in shock as the child talked faster than a bullet train.

"Eh?" Kagome looked at the collapsed boy on the floor and then realized that Souta had been jumping up and down on Inuyasha's foot.

'oooooooooh, that's got to hurt' she thought numbly as she propped the pained boy onto her shoulder and started dragging him to the couch. "Be careful Souta, he has a broken foot."

Souta nodded and watched his sister lead the collapsed boy to the couch and sit next to him.

"So what is his name?" Souta asked peering at the boy with the braid in his hair.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha almost tenderly as she brushed some stray hairs that had escaped from his braid, "Inuyasha."

Souta blinked, "weird name." He looked at the knocked out boy and smiled, "But he's cool looking!"

Kagome sighed and leaned his head into her lap as she looked tenderly at him. Souta raised an eyebrow but was quickly pulled from the room by his mother, who had a look that said 'just-a-roommate-my-butt'.

When Inuyasha and Kagome had fallen asleep together and had sat there for some time, Kagome's mother tiptoed into the room and took a picture of the two. She admired the innocent and peaceful faces of her daughter and roommate before quickly leaving the room again.

Inuyasha cracked an eye open when a blinding flash appeared and disappeared in front of his eyes. His violet orbs scanned his surroundings and soon came to realize he was in Kagome's lap. Now, normally, if he were his regular self, he would have leapt up and ran like holy hell, but then he smelled Kagome's sweet chamomile scent. He inhaled deeply as the scent lingered in the air. He closed his eyes blissfully, not wanting to leave the comfort of Kagome Higurashi.

Kagome opened her eyes and looked down at Inuyasha, who still resided in her lap. She was relieved to see that his foot was no longer an ugly purple color. Hesitantly she brushed the sleeve of her shirt onto his forehead, wiping away the sweat that had appeared, due to what, she didn't know.

The soft gesture awoke Inuyasha, however as he looked up at her. She sighed softly, "I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"No," Inuyasha sighed deeply as Kagome shifted and his head was, sadly, removed from her lap. The two sat in silence until Kagome made a little grunting noise from the back of her throat. Inuyasha turned to her, eyebrows raised, but Kagome wasn't listening.

She reached out and removed the band holding his braid in. Inuyasha blinked in surprise as the black tresses cascaded down his back, some unevenly cut locks of hair falling over his shoulders and stopping as they rested softly on his shirt. The rest instantly plastered itself to his shirt. How long had it been since he'd had that braid in? A long time, partly because he was too lazy to do anything else to his hair. He counted in his head; it had been at least one year since his hair had been free from the braid...thinking about that made him feel slightly nauseated.

Kagome watched his hair fall in fascination. Inuyasha noticed the look, "What?"

She reached out and touched his hair, "its beautiful hair, Inuyasha, why do you hide it?"

Inuyasha blinked in surprise. He certainly wasn't expecting that! She continued to finger his hair, as the surprisingly silky mane slipped along her fingertips. Inuyasha was calm yet again and rested his head on her shoulder as she ran her fingers through the hair, pulling softly whenever she reached a tangle.

A soft growl escaped his throat as she brought up her other hand and continued to massage his skull.

'I don't want this to ever stop' they both thought at the same time, casting their eyes to each other before blushing and looking away.




Sango banged the door open and sighed dramatically as she discovered that her best friend and roommate's best friend had disappeared. She walked over to Kirara and rubbed her head gingerly. She blinked in surprise as she noticed a new cat.

The black cat looked up at her, her piercing blue eyes looking up at her expectantly, "Mew?"

"Hello, Kitty, what are you doing here?" she asked as she rubbed it behind its ears, it began to purr loudly and if cats could smile, it would have.

Miroku huffed and puffed as he crawled through the door, "I wasn't expecting us to have to have to run so far."

"It's your own fault for groping a girl who already had a boyfriend," Sango growled as she tried to mask the sadness in her voice, "Now leave me alone!"

Miroku suddenly got a perverted grin, "Say, where is Inuyasha and Kagome?"

He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as Sango threw a pillow at him and walked towards the bathroom in order to find a hair dryer.

Miroku followed her and as she blew her hair into the realm of dryness, Miroku watched her intently, "Sango?"

"Hm?" Sango asked absent-mindedly she thumbed through her hair; she pressed her lips together in concentration as she hit an extremely hard snarl.

Miroku stood, tongue-tied at her beauty as she continued to brush her hair. He felt like he was falling, but it was the good kind of falling, the kind of falling you knew you couldn't get hurt in because there were soft pillows at the bottom.

"Why are you staring at me?" Sango snapped.

Or jagged rocks, whatever floats your boat.

Miroku grinned sheepishly, "I'm sorry, my dearest Sango, I was merely blown away by your beauty, it certainly puts me in awe."

"I told you I won't date you." She looked in shock as his eyes and face looked positively depressed.

She sighed.

"But I never said you couldn't boycott with me!" she said smiling.

Miroku smiled weakly back, glad that Sango had smiled at him.

Then the door burst open, "I did so beat you!"

"No you didn't! You cheated and used my weak ankles against me!!"

"What? I did no such thing! I'm the fucking cripple here!" Sango and Miroku sighed as Kagome and Inuyasha burst into the apartment, clad with murderous glares and angry threats.

"Eh, Kagome-Chan?" Sango asked as she reached out and comforted her friend, "Calm down."

"How can I calm down when that jerk purposely tripped in order to make me worry bout him just so he could jump up and run to the apartment!?" Kagome screeched and pointed to Inuyasha.

"What? I did trip for real, you bitch! It's your own fault for caring about me!"

"Are you saying I shouldn't care about you?" She asked so quietly that Inuyasha almost didn't hear her. He felt his heart sink instantly.

He rushed forward and hugged Kagome to him, "No."

Sango and Miroku looked at each other. Slightly confused, first the screaming and now they were all over each other. Miroku was grinning wolfishly and Sango had a knowing smile on her face.

The two broke apart, blushing slightly before realizing that their two friends were trying not to crack up.

"Feh," he snarled and turned away, a far away look in his eyes.

Kagome smiled softly and noticed her friend was trying to get her attention, "What is it Sango-Chan?"

"What should I boycott today?" Sango asked.

"McDonalds," Kagome said flatly as she watched her best friend dive into the closet and pull out a sign stapled to a stick. Whipping out her trusty permanent marker she wrote in big bold letters: "McDonald's kills cows; they are the spawns of evil!"

Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku all sweat dropped. Sango pulled out another sign and wrote: "Don't eat the artificial byproducts they call chicken McNuggets!"

"Come forth, Miroku, we have a mission!" Sango said as she pulled her loose pony tail into a high one and ripped off her baggy jeans and baggy shirt to reveal a skin tight one, "I am on a mission, don't mess with me!"

Miroku and Inuyasha stared in shock as Sango strapped on some combat boats that just appeared out of nowhere. She tossed the second sign to Miroku and marched with the look of a solider in her eyes towards the window.

"Eh, Miss Sango, shouldn't you use the door?" Miroku asked as Sango opened the window.

"What are you kidding? And do what they expect us to do? Those evil conspiracies at Mickey D's will not rest until they see me eat a big Mac!" She pointed at the three residents, "Don't play their game!"

Major sweat dropping as Sango jumped out the window and climbed down the fire escape. The three stood in silence until Sango shrieked, "Miroku, get your ass down here right now!"

Miroku looked slightly bewildered before running to the door, "I love a woman who can take action."

He cracked the door open, "Use the window!"

Miroku sighed and jumped out the window.

Inuyasha and Kagome stood in an awkward silence, "So...does she do that, every day?" Inuyasha stared in disbelief.

"Nope, only Wednesdays, and before you ask, yes, she does get that crazy." Kagome sighed and turned to Inuyasha with a smile, "want some ramen?"

"Err, sure!" Inuyasha smiled and followed Kagome into the kitchen.
