Chapter 4
Introductions

InuYasha sat at their table watching Miroku make a fool out of himself.
"WHY DID YOU DRAG ME IN HERE? I told you to back off, but no, you have to bug me," Sango yelled as Kirara growled menacingly at Miroku.
"My angel, it is just one dance. Please?" Miroku asked with puppy dog eyes. At that moment, Jaken wandered up to Sango.
"My lady, will you dance with me?" Jaken begged desperately. Sango's eyes grew wide with panic.
"I am d-dancing with t-this gentleman here," Sango managed to answer, inwardly cringing at the situation she got herself into. 'And it's all because of the stupid toad. Dumb, stupid, ugly reptile! He is going to pay!'
Jaken, downcast, wandered back to his master. Miroku had the biggest, most idiotic grin on his face that InuYasha had a laughing fit.
"I knew you would come around," Miroku whispered into Sango's ear while clasping her hand in his. Sango glared death at him.
"You wish," Sango replied coldly, grabbing the nearest blunt object, a chair, and crashed it over Miroku's head. Then she grabbed a glass of water and dumped it on his head, walking away with a triumphant grin on her face. By this time, InuYasha was rolling on the ground in histerics. Miroku calmly walked back to the table, sat down, and grabbed the nearest napkin to dry himself off. "I think that went well. As least this time she didn't hit me over the head with a table," Miroku said brightly. Inuyasha snickered. "Well, how about it, InuYasha?" "How about what?" InuYasha managed to reply once he could breathe. Miroku rolled his eyes. "The play. Want to still write the play? Because if you do, we will have to go talk with Onigumo about it. You might even see The Shimmering Shikon," Miroku said, nudging InuYasha. "Feh...All right, Miroku, I'll write the damn play. Now stop nudging me or you won't have that arm anymore."

They managed to get through the sea of humans and youkai in one piece. "Miroku, if I weren't so desperate for money, I'd kill you right now," InuYasha hissed at Miroku as they tried to find Onigumo's office. Miroku, who was used to getting death threats from InuYasha on a daily basis, shrugged it off as if it were nothing. "Ah-ha! I found it!" Shippo squealed happily. The door opened suddenly, Kagome walked out in a daze. InuYasha's gaze was instantly locked onto her. Kagome, who had been starting at the floor, felt as though someone was watching her. She looked up and her eyes locked with InuYasha's. 'It's him. He has the same amber eyes—-and the cutest dog ears,' Kagome thought to herself as she smiled sincerely for the first time that night. "Can I help you?" she asked automatically. Miroku tried to speak but decided against it as InuYasha glared death at him. "Yeah, we were looking for Onigumo," InuYasha replied, his amber gaze never leaving her. "Um, well, he isn't here right now. He is finalizing a...deal with a customer. Just tell me what you wanted to tell him and I'll let him know for you..." Kagome said, gesturing towards the office to show that Onigumo wasn't there. "InuYasha Dominis." Inuyasha replied quickly when she paused. "InuYasha, I am Kagome Higurashi. Pleased to meet you," Kagome said, shaking his hand. Miroku cleared his throat causing both Kagome's and InuYasha's attention to, reluctantly, divert to him. "We are InuYasha's associates. I am Miroku Gallager, the short kitsune here is Shippo Silgiya, and the old man is Toto-sai," Miroku said, gesturing to everyone as he introduced them. "Nice to meet all of you," Kagome replied smiling. "We're writers! We were hoping that maybe you could produce our play," Shippo said, jumping up and down to get Kagome's attention away from Inuyasha for more then a millisecond. "We brought along some of our earlier works to show Onigumo—-and you if you want to see them—as well as some ideas we have for a play here," Toto-sai explained. Kagome smiled. 'Writers! A play! I could finally do some real acting,' Kagome thought excitedly. "Grab your jackets, boys! We'll go to my place and look over your ideas. Onigumo would surely send you away without my help. Come on," Kagome replied overjoyed, grabbing InuYasha's arm and leading the way. Shippo and the others shrugged and followed the pair, thinking up ways to tease InuYasha about the way he looked at Kagome.
