My Man - You're That Scared?

(Disclaimer: Inuyasha's not mine)

Shippo was chasing Inuyasha and Kagome with waterballoons when Sango and Miroku came back.

Inuyasha and Kagome were drenched. Shippo was rolling on the grass with laughter. Kagome looked up and smiled at Sango and Miroku but grinned evilly when she noticed their appearences.

Sango's shirt was pretty wrinkly and her skirt wasn't any better. Miroku's shirt looked like it had been pulled and pawed at by a dog or something.

The two were also blushing like mad. Inuyasha was tackling Shippo and he had some how managed to get an extra water balloon.

Of course he dropped it on Shippo's head. "You're lucky you had ice cream," Shippo said while all of them were sitting under an old oak tree.

"Are you saying that cuz you love ice cream or is it cuz you're just hungry?" Kagome asked. Shippo smiled. "Because I like ice cream!"

Kagome loved how Shippo was like a child. It was like he was a little kid trapped in an adult's body.

Sango had her head on Miroku's shoulder and both their eyes were closed. Kagome envied them. 'I wish Sessshoumaru and I could be like that. So peaceful,' Kagome thought sadly to herself.

Kagome leaned her back against the oak tree and looked around the park. That was when she saw Hiten and Ayame.

The two were holding hands and walking peacefullly down the stone path. Kagome crawled on her hands and knees (Inuyasha and Shippo gave her puzzling looks) to Sango.

"Sango, look it's Hiten and Ayame!" Sango's eyes shot open and she sat up. "Where? Where?!" she asked.

Kagome pointed to the two. Sango gasped and took out her cell phone. "What are you doing?" Kagome asked.

"What's it look like I'm doing? I'm calling Rin!" Kagome grabbed her cell phone and turned it off.

"No! Rin can't find out! It'll crush her!" Kagome said. "It's better then finding out the hard way!" Sango argued.

"What's going on?" Miroku asked. "Nothing!" The girls said in unison. "Hey isn't that Hiten and Ayame?" Shippo asked.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Yes! Kagome gimme back my cell phone!" Kagome stood up, keeping the cell phone high up in her right hand.

"You have to promise not to call Rin," she said as Sango leaped up to grab her cell phone unsuccessfully.

"Alright alright! I won't call Rin!" Sango pouted. "Thank you!" Kagome said sweetly, dropping the cell phone into Sango's hands.

Inuyasha and Miroku exchanged glances. "What's this all about?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome groaned.

"It's something that doesn't concern you," she said simply. Inuyasha shrugged and leaned against the tree.

"Girls...." he mumbled. Sango and Kagome hid on the other side of the gigantic tree. Sango pulled Shippo by his collar behind the tree also when he wasn't doing anything.

Hiten whispered something into Ayame's ear and she giggled sweetly. Kagome scrunched up her nose in disgust.

"That bastard," Sango said under her breath. Shippo crossed his arm and pouted. "This is real boring," he complained.

Sango bonked him on the head and kept watching. Inuyasha yawned and Miroku gazed curiously at Ayame.

"Houshi....." Sango hissed dangerously. Miroku smiled innocently at her. "I wasn't doing anything!"

Inuyasha groaned and stood up. "Lets go. Staring at some people I don't know is boring."

Kagome glared at him. "To you maybe but not to us!"

"I'm not part of the us!" Shippo said. Sango bonked him on the head again with her fist. "Shush!"

Hiten and Ayame were coming towards their side of the tree. "Move!" Sango hissed. Kagome moved to her right but accidently tripped on a root.

She fell into Inuyasha's arms. They both blushed and turned away from eachother. Miroku smirked at the two.

Sango groaned at Kagome's clumsiness while Shippo made a gagging face at the romance stuff.

Hiten and Ayame passed the tree without noticing their fellow employees.

"I'm ready to go home," Kagome said. Sango nodded. Miroku put his around Sango's waist and they walked infront as usual.

Kagome chose to walk with Shippo this time. 'Anymore contact with Inuyasha and i'll be doing something I wouldn't want to. I'd be going against Sesshoumaru!'

Inuyasha could tell Kagome didn't want to talk to him so he walked farther in the back by himself.

************************* Taisho Corp

Sesshoumaru picked up his phone and dialed the mansion number. His loyal servent, Jaken, picked up.

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Where is that rotten brother of mine?"

"He went to the monk's house, sir!"

Sesshoumaru pressed a button for another line. He dialed Inuyasha's cell phone number.

"What?" Inuyasha answered.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the park. Why?"

"Why are you at the park of all places?"

"Because I want to be!"

"There are others with you. Who are you with?"

"I'm with Miroku, Sango, and Shippo."

"Don't Sango and Shippo have work with Kagome?"

"Yeah but they left early."

"Where is Kagome?"

"At the cafe probably."

Sesshoumaru hung up and had a distant feeling Inuyasha was lying to him.

******************** Inuyasha

"Who was that?" Shippo asked as Inuyasha put his cell phone in his pocket. "That was Sesshoumaru wondering where I was," Inuyasha said.

"Why didn't you say you were with Kagome too? I didn't hear you say her name."

Inuyasha glared at Shippo, mentaly telling him to shut his trap. But Kagome overheard. "Is something wrong Inuyasha?" she asked, ignoring the voice in her head telling her to ignore him.

Inuyasha shook his head. "It's nothing." Kagome studied him for a moment then nodded.

'Something's up and he's not saying,' Kagome thought to herself. 'Is he really *that* scared of Sesshoumaru?'
