AN: ::sigh:: It's been so long since I updated! Gomen! I was (still am) on a David Bowie kick ^-^;; Anyway, I know I said this part would be strip poker, but I ran into a few problems. So I'll be saving that (probably the best) for last ^-~ So this chapter is life.

I really like the idea of that search game ^-^ Arigatou! If (I most likely will) I use it, I give the credit to you for the idea ^-^ Oh! And then 7 minutes in heaven (though I think they may be using the bushes and not a closet ^-^;;)

Oh! And I'm sorry for those confused. These are a bunch of short stories, so they don't tie in with one another. Think of them each as a different plan Kagome has to set the two up ^-^

**NOTE** I haven't played life in sooooo long, so I scrapped together what I remember. They will not be accurate, I warn you ahead of time, and I don't have a board to look at XP

~*^-^*~

Sango stared at the small pink and blue pegs she held in her hands. Kagome had simply handed them all to her, asking her to 'keep an eye on them' while she set up a strange miniature world ( a board game ).

"Kagome-chan…What am I supposed to do with these?"

"Just hold em'. They're the children."

"Children?" Miroku perked up, suddenly intent on what Kagome was saying. Sango eyed him wearily, not too fond of the gleam in his eyes. Kagome paid him no mind and nodded absently, placing the finishing touches on the board game.

"The whole point of the game is to live the life you want. Well, actually you just hope you do. You see, these are cars." She reached into a box and pulled out a handful of small plastic cars (though no one but Kagome understood what they were), in an assortment of colors.

"We each take a peg. No Miroku-sama. You take a blue peg." Kagome instructed when she saw Miroku reach for a pink one. Shrugging, he picked a blue peg from Sango's hand. She shuddered when his fingers brushed across her palm.

"Good. Sango, put all the rest down and me and you get a pink peg. Inuyasha, are you sure you don't wanna play?" Kagome looked up at the hanyou sprawled lazily on a branch. He scoffed and looked away. A definite no. Shippou had fallen asleep, or else he would have played with them.

Sango did as she was told and waited for further instructions. After each of them had picked out a car (blue for Miroku, pink for Kagome, and red for Sango), they placed them at what Kagome called, 'the starting point'.

"Now, we each take turns with the dial, and see what number it lands on. That's how many spaces you move."

"But what about the children? You said something about children." Miroku pointed out, grinning at Sango. The taijiya 'humphed' and turned away.

"Yea, you've got to land on the space that says you had children. And that predicts how many kids you'll have in the future." Kagome considered it a small bluff, but loved the look on both of her friends' faces.

"Oh."

"Now put the pegs in the car like this. That's you." Kagome watched as the two struggled to fit the pegs in the holes. When they were settled, she spun the dial.

"See, It landed on four, so I move four spaces. But I have the choice of going the business way or the college way. I recommend college, it's better. " Kagome demonstrated by moving her car forward. She moved it aside and read what was written underneath.

"Oh! I'm a doctor!" She exclaimed, seemingly happy with the results. Sango and Miroku blinked. She gathered some colorful paper (she called it money), and isat it next to her.

"Okay, now you go, Sango."

Sango seemed unsure, casting a weary glance at the man to her side. She flicked the dial and watched idly as it came to a stop.

"Nine." She muttered before carefully counting her spaces. She was about to make her last move when Kagome stopped her.

"Wait!"

"N-nani?" Sango looked at her friend, startled, her hand still resting on her car. Kagome pointed to writing written under Sango's hand.

"It says here, that you have to stop and get married."

"Have to?" Sango asked wearily. Kagome nodded and reached for a blue peg. Sango, grudgingly took it and sat it in the car next to "her". She did not miss the gleam in the houshi's eyes.

"Okay, now that you've got Miroku-sama in the car and-"

"WHAT!? Who ever said ANYTHING about houshi-sama!?" Sango roared, bewildered by Kagome's sudden declaration. She dreaded turning to see his reaction, but sighed and quickly glanced at him. To her horror, he was looking quite content, a lazy grin spread across his face.

'Well two can play at that game.' Sango plucked the helpless blue peg (Miroku) from her car and, much to his dismay and protest, placed him in the back on the opposite side.

"Sango? What did you do that for?" He whined, disappointed. Kagome snickered, hiding her giggles behind a hand. Sango turned her nose up hotly.

"If that peg is indeed you, Houshi-sama, I intend to stay as far out of your groping range as possible."

"Does that mean I am your husband?" He grinned coyly, watching as shock settled over her features. He didn't miss the faint blush on her cheeks as she turned away.

"I never said that! I-I'm just making sure." She pouted, her plan making everything worse. Miroku shrugged and spun the dial. After moving the set amount of spaces, he found out he was a physicist. Whatever that was.

The game ran into a few more normal turns, nothing out of the ordinary happening until…

"Oh!"

"W-what? Did I do something wrong?" Sango asked, once again bewildered. Kagome's eyes shown happily, and Sango knew immediately that she was in trouble.

"Congratulations Sango! You're a mother!"

Sango blinked, confused. Kagome, still grinning, placed a small pink peg in her hands.

"It's a girl, see?" Kagome pointed to some writing under Sango's car. Sango, hands slightly shaky, placed the "baby" in the car up front (since husband Miroku had to sit in the back). Dreading what was behind her, she turned slowly.

"Why Sango, she's got your eyes!"

"Houshi-sama…."

"And your temper too." He chuckled, amused by how serious she was taking the game. It was fun, catching Sango so off guard. Kagome grinned and motioned for him to spin. To his disappointment, he skipped right over a baby space.

About ten minutes later, Sango decided she wanted to curl up and hide under a rock. Kagome, grinning like a cat, placed two pegs: one blue and one pink, into her hand. Twins. She glanced at her car, and to her dismay, found it full! Each of her turns she had landed on every baby spot so far.

"Ano, Kagome-chan, what do I do?" Sango felt her cheeks grow red and prayed that this game was not some way to predict the future.

"Hmm…That is a problem. Here's another car." Kagome handed Sango a new car. Puzzled, Sango placed it next to her own car and placed the twins in it, side by side.

"Aww, Sango. Aren't they cute?" A soft voice near her ear made her jump. Whirling around, she glared at the houshi.

"You, this is all your fault!" She hissed, poking him in the chest. Miroku grinned.

"It takes two to make a baby."

"HENTAI!" Sango angrily slapped him in the face. He was sent sprawling, but looked completely too satisfied for Sango's liking. Kagome coughed and spun, taking her turn.

Sango was unbelievably frustrated. Not only had a tornado wrecked her cars, but one of her children insisted on continuously jumping out of the car! As hard as she could without causing damage, Sango pressed the small, mischievous blue peg deep into its' seat. By now, both of her cars were filled to capacity.

'Kami-sama I pray that this is not going to predict the future like Kagome said.'

Miroku seemed to notice her distress and smirked, slowly snaking an arm around her waist. Sango jumped, startled, and turned to glare at him.

"What do you think you're doing?" She growled, raising a hand to slap him. He grinned and said nothing. Slowly, Miroku leaned in. Sango's eyes widened.

'Oh Kami, he's going to kiss me!'

She gulped and closed her eyes, her heart beating ferociously in her chest. She could feel his breath upon her lips and her heart fluttered. This was it.

"Sango, they have your temper too."

Sango's eyes shot open in surprise. Miroku smirked back at her, his face just inches from hers'. She blinked. He was talking about 'their kids' (or pegs to be more exact)!

"Y-You are such a HEN-"

Miroku's lips cut her sentence short. Sango heard a slight gasp from Kagome, but ignored it, giving in to this new sensation. His lips gently coaxed, teased, pressed, sending spine-tingling shivers throughout Sango's body. Just as feverishly she responded, suddenly clambering to her knees and pressing herself against him.

Miroku groaned and pulled away, much to Sango's disappointment. She cocked her head to the side, confused, and stared back at him. Miroku suppressed a grin and leaned his forehead against hers'.

"Unless you want to get started on all those children right now, I suggest we stop."

Sango blushed and averted her eyes. How could she let her guard down so easily!? Flustered, she opened her mouth, and then quickly closed it. Someone cleared their throat and both reluctantly pulled away from each other.

"Ne, I don't mean to…interrupt, but are we going to finish the game?" Kagome, much to Miroku's amusement, refused to look either of them in the face. Inuyasha, on the other hand, seemed ready to fall out of his tree from shock.

"Ne, Sango. We need to get busy if what this game says is true." He announced loudly, hiding a devilish grin. Sango's eyes widened, but she quickly caught on and nodded. Shyly, she took his hand and led him away so they were hidden from view.

"S-Sango-chan! Miroku-sama! I was juts kidding when I said that this predicted the future!" Kagome, blushing to her roots, yelled to the couple. Behind a tree, Miroku pulled Sango down to sit in his lap.

"Do you think we should go back out there?" Sango asked, peering around the tree to spy on her friend. Miroku drew her back and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Iie, we'll be back soon enough. Now, about all those kids…"

~*^-^*~

AN: Okay, let me start off by saying Sango's "2 cars filled with children" and the one child continuously "jumping out of the car" were two things I experienced while playing "Life" XD

So I figured why not let Sango have that same joy? ^-^ Seriously, has anyone else ever gotten two cars of kids? ^-^;;

Anyway, sorry all the rules are whacked, but I don't have a game board to base it on. This is going by memory and the basic gist of the game. Along with a few actual game events (i.e.: The tornado) ^-^

Hope you enjoyed it! And I'm sorry it's not strip poker! I will get around to writing that!
