A/N: ...review? It's a little short, but bear with me, it's a try at a cliffhanger. ;; hehe, the truth was, I didn't feel like writing anymore...

To Be A Commoner

Chapter 5

Kagome was one of the first to wake up, Inuyasha already had and he was downstairs as later she found out. Kagome looked around, Miroku's hand had strayed to Sango's hip, where later, he would definitely get a hit. Kagome checked if the boys had taken any money, but it was all there. After a while of just staring at the open window, the full force of yesterday's pillow fight hit her.

The sores all over her were making it hard to move without wincing at some hidden pain. Kagome ran over yesterday's events. This is what she thought:

Shared a room with two boys

Locked them out

They gave chase after we left

Tired

Ran to help Sango

Miroku took the key

Got locked out

Climbed through a window

Girls rule...

THE BALL IS FOUR DAYS FROM NOW!

Her mind screamed, wait, if it was four days from yesterday, then it's only THREE MORE DAYS! Kagome had shock written all over her face. She almost screamed but held her tongue as civil ladies do. She quickly woke up Sango, who in turn knocked the living daylights out of Miroku.

"The ball! It's in three more days!" Kagome hurriedly whispered.

"O great, just what I wanted to hear." Sango commented.

"There must be something we could do...think Kagome, think."

Sango looked thoughtful. "You said that it was in three days right? We don't have anything to worry about then."

"How can you say that?" Kagome said as she sat on one of the beds.

"Have fun! At least for two days, what could be the trouble? On the third day, we can high tail it out of here and be in at the castle in time for the ball!"

The sense in Sango's words got Kagome thinking of staying. "Alright. But promise me that you'll give Miroku a chance!"

Sango looked at Miroku and then at Kagome with just a hint of color on her cheeks. "That guy?!"

"I know you like him! Don't try to fool me, I've known you for years and I know when you like someone, so promise?" Kagome said in a sly voice.

"Only if you give Inuyasha a chance." Sango countered, for her, this came out of nowhere, for Kagome, this was something very unexpected.

"W-what? No way! There is NOTHING between us." Kagome said clearly, blushing full red.

Sango smirked at her triumph. "Only if." She repeated, and Kagome paused to think out her possible ways out of this mess.

"...fine." Kagome agreed as she went over to the door. "I'm getting breakfast." She said in a normal voice, Sango went after her leaving Miroku all alone. But unbeknownst to them, he had heard every single word.
