Gomen-nasai for the delay. Life has been really hectic.
I know this story is incredibly dull and unoriginal so far.. These are just introductory chapters leading up to something big. Until then, this is the best I can give you. Sorry.

Chapter 2- The Date
"Hey, Kagome? Who do you think Miroku asked to be your date?"
Sango squinted into the mirror, smoothing the brush of pink eye shadow across her eyelid.
Finished, she fished through her bag for some mascara and peered over at Kagome, who was slipping on a little tan dress, hemmed in black lace, that was a bit more revealing that she was used to.
"I don't know. I'm kind of worried, actually.. He wouldn't stick me with somebody like Sesshomaru or Hojou, right? I mean, he has better sense than to do that, right?"
She was turning around in front of the mirror, trying to see if the dress was to short, to tight, to low cut.
Sango shrugged and glided the applicator of her clear lip-gloss across her lips. She felt self conscious as well in the tight black dress she was wearing, which was spaghetti strapped and trimmed in bright pink.
"I don't think he'd be quite that stupid. What I am afraid of is that he's going to grope us tonight. ..Hey, Kagome? Who do you hope Miroku asked?"
The girl scrunched up her face as she pulled her hair back in a loose, low ponytail. Grabbing her make up bag, she sighed.
"I don't know.. Honestly? Well.. You know Kouga? I know he likes me.. I don't know. What do you think?"
Sango watched as her friend finished applying her makeup and shrugged.
"Well, Kagome, he's pretty cute, if you're into that rugged look. And, yeah, everyone knows he likes you. But, I guess we'll just have to wait until they get here to find out."
"Yeah.. I guess you're right. So, what about you and Miroku? Excited? I know you like him."
She blushed hard and glared at her friend.
"I don't know. I mean, yeah, I like him, when he isn't being perverted, but when I see him grope some girl it makes me just so mad.."
Kagome sage nodded and headed down the stairs, Sango directly behind her.
"I know what you mean, but if he isn't a gentleman tonight, I will personally hurt him."
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"C'mon, Miroku. I don't feel right, spying on the girls like this.."
Kouga adjusted his position in the tree and glanced anxiously at his friend.
"Don't worry, man. As long as they don't catch us.. Hey! They're talking about us!"
Despite his better judgment, he strained his ears to catch every word he could. He really wanted to know how Kagome felt about him, since it's usually so hard to tell.
"Hey, Kouga, did you hear that? She hopes you're her date! This is so perfect."
He leaned back against the tree with a smug look on his face.
"Oh, yeah. I am so good."
Kouga rolled his eyes and then, listening a bit, chuckled.
"Miroku, Sango just said if you would stop being such a pervert she would really like you."
Miroku's eyes widened and he grinned shamelessly. After the men high-fived each other, they scrambled out of tree and to the front door to pick up their lovely dates.
The door opened seconds after the doorbell sounded, and Sango and Kagome looked happily at the men in front of them.
Miroku and Kouga each pulled a bouquet of flowers (courtesy of Kagome's mother's garden) from behind their backs and presented them to their dates. The girls grinned and accepted them soon enough, inviting the guys in while they put the flowers in vases.
Mere minutes later, the girls grabbed their purses and dragged the guys out, hopping carefully into Kouga's jeep, hoping not to tear their dresses.
When the car arrived at the theatre, the guys were gentlemen. They were kind enough to agree to a chic flick (after much persuasion from two puppy- eyed girls), and they even bought the girls sodas and popcorn, or in Kagome's case, candy. She wasn't much of a fan of popcorn.
As they settled into their seats, the lights dimmed and the previews began. The men each sat on the outsides so that the girls could sit together, and they each slung an arm around the girls' shoulders.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Wow, that was great, Kouga. Thank you so much."
He smiled down at her, much as a puppy would smile at his master after properly performing a trick.
Sure, he was disappointed that he had not gotten to kiss her, but he had held her hand during the movie, and she had not pulled away. That was good enough for him.
Sango smiled sweetly up at Miroku. He was proud of himself. He had resisted temptation the entire night, and not once did he grope her. It was driving him nuts, but he was trying really hard, and he had gotten this far. He wouldn't screw it up now.
They all climbed back up into Kouga's jeep, Kagome riding shotgun, and the other couple in the back.
Miroku was dropped off first, and when he looked deep into Sango's eyes before heading inside, she wasn't prepared for him to grab her butt, ruining the precious moment, despite past experience. He was, however, prepared for the slap he received.
He did, at least, have the courtesy to look worried when Sango suddenly looked nearly ready to cry. Ignoring his pleaded concerns, she hopped back into the jeep and they sped off, leaving a confused Miroku in the dust of his driveway.
Since Sango was going to stay the night with Kagome, that was Kouga's next stop. Sango ran into the house, muttering something about leaving the two of them alone. Kagome knew her friend was upset, but Kouga was just so..
"Kagome?"
He had run to the other side of the vehicle to help her out, and she realized she had been spacing out. She took his offered hand and hopped out, stumbling as she did so, and landing squarely against his chest.
He smiled, much too excitedly, and hugged her against him.
"K-Kouga?"
"Yes, my love?"
She stopped suddenly. His love? That was unexpected. She couldn't help but smile slightly against his well-muscled chest.
"Kouga.. I can't breath."
He frowned and quickly released her, though his hands remained on her arms.
"I'm sorry, Kagome."
She looked up at him, and she was caught up in the deep blues of his eyes, while he was likewise with her brown ones.
He leaned close to her, lips inches from hers, and she could feel his warm breath tickling her face.
"Kagome, would you mind it if I kissed you right now?"
She almost forgot to breath. Her bewildered smile was a good enough answer for Kouga, however, because he dipped his head a mere millimeter and his lips met hers for a chaste, but passionate kiss.
