Recap: Kagome and InuYasha meet a strange messenger from Sesshomaru and Kagome FINALLY confesses her feelings for InuYasha.

Kagome and InuYasha took their time getting back to the camp. Their minds were dawdling on what Sesshomaru wanted. Was it the Shikon no Tama? The Tetsusaiga? Or maybe even one of them?!
They were startled from their thoughts by a familiar voice.
"Well...what have you two been doing? ~.^" The perverted monk taunted. It was then that the pair realized that they were still holding hands. Both blushed profusely and dropped one another's hands.
"It's none of your business, Miroku," the hanyou retorted.
"InuYasha," Kagome started. "Maybe we should tell them what happened."
"Feh. Fine." So, the pair started to indulge Miroku and Sango in a description of the afternoon's events.
"Hmm....interesting....so, who will you be taking then (^.^)???" Miroku asked. Kagome, InuYasha, and Sango just turned to stare at him, wondering if any of what they had said had been absorbed into his mind.
"What?!?!?!"
After a long discussion, it was decided that Kagome and InuYasha should go together. So, the two started on their way. It would be at least a day's time before they got back to camp. No one minded though. It gave InuYasha and Kagome some time alone and it gave Miroku a chance to grope Sango. Kelala and Shippo were to stay with Miroku and Sango.
"Well, it's almost 4 o'clock! We'd better get going," Kagome told InuYasha, while smiling at him affectionately. InuYasha bent down, letting Kagome sit on his back.
"All set?"
"Yup ^.^!"
"Okay, here we go!" InuYasha took a leap off the ground and the two started off towards the designated place.
While on the way to the waterfall, they encountered a stream. Since Kagome could hear the hanyou panting heavily, she suggested that they stop for a moment.
Kagome clambered off of InuYasha's back and they bounded off towards the stream, refreshing their parched throats and washing their hands. After Kagome was finished, she looked over to see InuYasha bending down to the stream. Kagome couldn't resist...it was just too tempting.
Kagome approached InuYasha's slumped form from behind a mischievous smile lighting up her face. Then, in one swift motion, she lifted up her foot and kicked InuYasha in the butt. InuYasha flew forward into the water while Kagome fell onto the ground in a fit of laughter.
""What the hell was that for, wench?"
"Sorry," Kagome giggled. "I couldn't help myself!!!!!!" InuYasha was starting to loose it now. He was dripping water from head to toe, and Kagome was rolling on the ground laughing at him!!!
"So...you think that's funny, do you?"
"Hahahahaha.......yep, sure do.....hahaha!"
"Fine." InuYasha leapt at Kagome and fell on top of her. He then picked her up bridal style, and heaved her into the river. Now it was his turn to laugh.
Kagome spluttered out of the water and stared at him, clearly agitated.
"What did you do that for?!?!?!?"
"Well....," InuYasha decided to mock Kagome. "I couldn't help myself!!!"
"Now you're mocking me?!?!?!"
"Um...yea."
Kagome tackled InuYasha, pinning him beneath her.
"Don't make me use the 's' word!"
InuYasha paled at the thought of being slammed face first into the ground. In order to prevent himself from being hurt, he rolled over, so he was on top of Kagome.
"Well, if you do it now, then I'll fall on you, and won't that be fun?!?!?!" InuYasha looked into Kagome's deep brown eyes and found, to his surprise, that they were growing closer.
All of a sudden, both pairs of eyes closed, and lip met lip. InuYasha's hand found its way to the back of Kagome's head, pushing it gently so that he could deepen the kiss.
Kagome didn't mind at all. In fact, she had her arms around his neck, pulling herself closer to his warmth. Suddenly, InuYasha broke their kiss to find that it was almost 5:45. They only had 15 minutes left to meet Sesshomaru!
"Holy shit," InuYasha exclaimed. "Okay, Kagome, when we get there, you're gonna hide in the bushes, 'cause you aren't supposed to be with me!"
"Um...okay..."
With that, InuYasha pulled Kagome onto his back and ran like he had never run before.

Meanwhile....with Sango and Miroku...

"Can you believe those two," Miroku asked. "They're always fighting, and now their holding hands!"
"Hai, I know. At least he's not a lecher, like some people I know!" Sango winked playfully at Miroku.
"Well, it's what I do best (~.^)!"
"Miroku," Sango began in a serious tone. "I have decided that I will bare your child.....in your dreams!"
"Sango, dear," Miroku whispered, while reaching for Sango's ass. "You know you want me. Besides, I've already had that dream.....many times."
"You know...HENTAI!!!!!!" Sango turned around and smacked Miroku in the face.
"We were having a moment and you just had to ruin it by grabbing my ass!!!!!"
"Uh...Sango, where are Shippo and Kelala?"
"Oh...um...I gave them some of Kagome's sleeping pills so we could have some.....fun."
"What kind of fun???" ['Oh, thank Kami!!! You do love me,'] Miroku thought.
"Well.....I'm gonna tie you up..."
"Yes, yes..."
"...and beat the shit out of you."
"No, no, no!!!!" Miroku's eyes bugged out of his head.
"Haha! Just kidding!"
"Well then, shall we?" Miroku scooted closer to Sango and Sango put her head on Miroku's shoulder. Miroku's arm found it's way around Sango's shoulders and they turned their heads to face one another. Miroku leaned down and gently placed a kiss on Sango's lips. Although they were having a great time, they didn't notice someone leering out at them from the shadows.

It was almost six o'clock and InuYasha was bounding towards the waterfall. As he got closer, he could see Sesshomaru and some lady standing next to him. He stopped for a moment and pressed a kiss to Kagome's lips before setting her down.
"I'll be back soon. Just sit here, wait, watch, and listen." With that being said, he leapt off towards Sesshomaru.
"InuYasha," Sesshomaru greeted as InuYasha stepped from the forest. "Why, you're right on time."
"Blah, blah, blah," InuYasha growled. "Just tell me what the hell you want. Then, I can get back to hating you from afar."
"Shut up little brother. Not even your stench can wreck this day."
"And might I ask why?"

"Well, you might as well bring out the wench," Sesshomaru said when he heard a twig snap in that direction.
"Kagome," InuYasha howled. "Get your ass out here, PRONTO!!!!"
Kagome knew InuYasha was gonna kill her for what she did. It wasn't her fault though. ['That twig was in my way!!! I was only getting situated!!!!!']
There came a rustling of the bushes and Kagome looked up to find everyone's favorite hanyou standing above her. He quickly bent down and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder in the process.
"Put me down! I can walk, ya know!" Kagome screamed and slapped his butt.
"Gee, Kagome, I didn't know you wanted me!"
"That is so not true!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Children, please," Sesshomaru spoke up. "You can bicker with your girlfriend later, little brother."
"HALF-brother!!!!"
"I know. Anyway....I have something to tell you."
"Well...SPILL IT!!!" Kagome energetically spoke up. InuYasha and Sesshomaru stood there and sweatdropped. ['Geez, what a mood swing...,'] InuYasha thought.
"Ookamishujin, come here." InuYasha and Kagome were transfixed by the creature he called "Ookamishujin." She had long black hair with blood red stripes running through it. Her skin was like ivory, she had long, perfectly manicured nails, deep blue eyes that you could loose yourself in, and ears like Sesshaomaru's. She was a little shorter that Sesshomaru and was slender. She was dressed in a traditional yukata that was a deep blue with yellow and pink flowers on it.
"Ookamishujin," Sesshomaru started, "is my wife."
Kagome and InuYasha's mouths dropped open in awe. Sesshomaru was....MARRIED?!?!?!?! ['Wow, so he has feelings other than hatred, anger, and resentment. It must be the Apocalypse,'] Kagome thought.
"So, InuYasha," Sesshomaru began. "You should be giving me the Tetsusaiga as a wedding present."
"I knew there was a catch," Kagome shouted. "Seriously, the guys has FEELINGS?!?!?!"
"Like hell I'll give it to you!" InuYasha screamed. And with that, he ran off into the forest, with Kagome on his back, at a speed ten times that of his usual.

There came a sudden rustling of the bushes and Sango and Miroku turned suddenly.
"Owwww," Sango complained when her neck snapped. "I think I have whiplash! I'm gonna sue your ass, whoever you are!"
"Sango...calm down." Miroku had become a little scared at her sudden outburst.
"Why don't you both shut your pie holes and tell me where Kagome is?!?!?!" A shadowy figure stepped from the bushes and gave them both a death glare. Let's just put it this way, if looks could kill, they'd both be dead.
"Oh no," groaned Miroku. "Not again!!!!!"
