A/N: Hey, minna, just like I promised! Happy?

Chapter 5: Trouble! How are we gonna pull this off?

They had finally arrived home and so many thoughts were whizzing through Kagome's head. Why had she asked Houjo? What was she thinking? Did she actually want to go to the Sadie Hawkins dance with Inuyasha? She was so mixed up.

Flashback

'So, Houjo, have you got a date for the Sadie Hawkins dance yet?'

'No, not exactly. Plenty of girls have asked, but I was waiting on you.'

Kagome smiled. 'Then, would you um… go to the dance with me?'

'Sure, Kagome.'

Then the food fight started.

End of Flashback

"Hey, Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing, just thinking…"

"Oh… You think I should ask Miroku to the dance?"

"Yea, you two make a cute couple."

"You think so?" Kagome nodded. "I guess I better tell him the good news." Sango walked out of Kagome's room.

"Yes," Miroku said. "Sango, darling, I knew that you were going to ask me sometime. Couldn't resist the good looks huh?"

"Miroku, one of two things: 1st don't call me darling. 2nd don't make me regret this."

"Yes, ma'am," Miroku said giving a mock solute.

The front door opened. "I'm home, sis," Souta said walking in after slipping off his shoes.

"Hello, Souta, Where's Shippo?"

"He's behind me."

Shippo bounced in. "Kagome, I'd like to ask a favor of you…"

"You said a favor of Kagome, not me," Inuyasha grumbled as Kagome drove to Umi no Hoshi Elementary school. Shippo had needed them to dress up like his parents to attend the conference.

"I needed a dad I guess."

"I look stupider than I did in those baggy pants." Inuyasha was wearing straight-leg pants and a red shirt.

"Well, you're the idiot that picked it out," Kagome pointed out. She was wearing a black dress suit. She even had cute high heels. .

"I didn't pick it out. Some stupid man did."

"Then I guess you shouldn't have let him." She glanced back at him. "Those ears!" She threw a hat on his head.

"This looks real stupid."

"Deal with it!"

Kagome stopped the car as they arrived in the parking lot.

"Let's get this over with," Inuyasha said slamming the car door.

"Be careful, you could have broken it."

They walked in. She took a glance at teacher. Uh-oh! That was Souta's teacher. I met her before. OMS! (Oh Megami-sama!)

"Inuyasha," she whispered. "Go on, with me real fast. I'll be there."
"But…" She pushed him in.

Ms. Hasegawa held out her hand. "You must be Shippo's mother."

"NO! I'M NOT! I'm his—uh… father." He mumbled the last part.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm Mrs. Hasegawa. Where's your wife?"

"I'm right here," Kagome walked in.

"Who the hell? I don't know her!" Though he knew her smell, based on looks it wasn't Kagome.He barely recognized her with her hair pinned up and glasses on her face.

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha over towards her and whispered, "You know it's me!"

"Oh." He took a glance at her. "You look dumb like that. Why are you dressed up like that anyway?"

"Because I know her. She met me as Souta's sister. She might recognize me."

"So? What's it matter?"

"Then it would seem like I got married at a young age, and had a son!"

"Uh… Mrs. Uh…" Mrs. Hasegawa said.

"Hehe! Mrs. S-Shikon," Kagome said.

"I'm having this conference with you today because of your son, Shippo. He got into a fight today."

"With who?" Inuyasha wanted to know.

"Another student named Ooki Shouji."

Inuyasha turned to Shippo. "Did you beat his ass?"

"Yeah I did," Shippo beamed.

Kagome hit Inuyasha. "Shut up and let me do all the talking," she whispered. She turned back to Mrs. Hasegawa. "You have to excuse my husband. He um… well, I'm sorry about Shippo. I'm sure there was a legitimate reason for this."

"Well," Hasegawa turned to Shippo. "Could you tell us what happened?"

"He was picking on me and then he pushed me, so I pushed him and then we were fighting."

"Yes I was very surprised when I discovered it was your child that was--," Mrs. Hasegawa started.

"O.K. yea! You done talking? Kagome has dinner to be cooking."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled at him. She didn't know if she was madder because of his poor manners or because he had blurted out her name.
He was already at the door. "C'mon, Kagome, let's go. The squirt's not in trouble."

"Inuyasha, no!"

"Kagome?" the teacher asked in awe. "You remind me of this other Kagome I know except she's Souta's elder sister. You look a bit similar."

"Uh…"

Inuyasha grabbed Shippo and Kagome and they walked out. "That was a waste of time."

"Inuyasha, you embarrassed us."

"Feh! Didn't embarrass myself."

She sighed. "I'm sorry, Shippo."

He grinned at her. "At least she won't ask for another conference."

Kagome unlocked the door of the car. "Still…"

"When we get home I want dinner," Inuyasha said.

"I don't know why you're telling me."

"I'm hungry too," Shippo agreed. He looked at Inuyasha. "You weren't a very good dad."

Inuyasha growled. "Should have gotten Miroku to do it then."

"Don't worry, Shippo, we'll get something to eat as soon as we pick up Miroku-tachi."

"Okay."

"So, Sango, you're aware that we're home alone?"

"Yes, I am."

"Doesn't it make you want to do something?" He moved his arm around her waist. Then lower down…

"Yea." He looked up. "Smack you." Miroku fell off the couch as her red hand print appeared on his face.

"Seriously, Sango." He was using that tone of voice with her. That tone that made her heart flutter. "Let's get close and forget about the world and everything we're trying to do. Sango," He looked into her eyes. "I just want to be with you and be there for you."

"Oh, Miroku…" Sango raised her face to Miroku's and he pulled his face down then… the front door opened.

"Hey, Sango, Miroku, Souta!" Kagome yelled.

"Whoa!" Shippo exclaimed. "What were you two doing?"

"Nothing," Sango said quickly scooting herself away from Miroku.

Kagome walked up the stairs. "Hey, Souta, we're going out for dinner. Want to come?"

"No, but I could use a ride to Shinji's house. He just got the new Dragon Ball Z game."

"O.K."

"So, how did it go?" Sango asked. "The whole parent-teacher thing."

"Boring, the lady wouldn't stop talking," Inuyasha told her.

"Is that so?"

"Everyone ready?" Kagome asked.

"I hope you don't mind, we have to drop Souta off first."

"Fine, but let's move it," Inuyasha said irritably.

"May I take your order?" the waitress at WacDonalds asked.

"Yes. I'd like a burger, fries, ice cream, a diet Pepsi, and a salad."

"What a pig!" Inuyasha said. Despite Inuyasha's words, he ordered more than Kagome did.

"Now who's the pig?"

"Feh! I need a lot of food if I want to become a full, bonafied demon." He laughed. "But I guess you need a lot to become a full, fat school girl."

"Sit boy! Sit! Osuwari!"

Inuyasha hit the table--hard. "Bitch," he muttered.

"Humph!"

"Excuse me, Miroku," Sango said trying to get out.

"Oh, yes." He got up and let her out of the booth.

"Where are you going, Sango?" Kagome asked.

"C'mon, Kagome," she whispered. She followed her.

"Hey, where are you two going?" Inuyasha asked.

"To the bathroom."

"What's up, Sango?"

"The Sadie Hawkins dance," she started, "we'll need nice gowns right?"

"You're right." Kagome nodded. "We need to go to the mall and get something. Sango, you're a genius!"

Sango smiled. "And we tell the boys…?"

"I'll think of something," Kagome said.

They arrived at the table to see Shippo in a high chair.

"What's he doing up there?"

"I decided that he was too small to sit at this table so I put him in that baby chair." Inuyasha gave an obnoxious laugh.

"Kagome," Shippo wailed, "could you take me out?"

"Sure." She picked him up. "Don't do that again, Inuyasha. That was mean."

"Why do you always take his side?" he asked sounding as if his feelings were hurt.

"Maybe if you weren't always the one in the wrong I would take yours. But you're always the bad guy."

"Yea, right."

Sango looked at Miroku. "Believe me, I tried to be the adult and figured it best to stay out."

The waitress came back with the food. Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha began eating…quickly. Inuyasha noticing this said, "Why are you two eating so fast?"

"Why do you eat so fast?" Kagome asked.

"Cuz I'm hungry."

"Then I guess we do it for the same reason and something else." She and Sango started laughing.

"You keep doing that and you're gonna--." As if on cue, Kagome started to choke.

"See, you stupid girl."

Sorry I had to do that to Kag-chan! Was it funny? (Silence) I just figured it would be. (Crickets) I think I failed though. Bye. Next ch. up tomorrow. It's not easy to type when there are no reviews!!!! Review! All the chapters please! But you don't have to but…
