Chapter Ten

The last bell rang and everyone ran out while their last period/hour teacher yelled, "Have a great winter break!" through the halls.(A/n It's three months later from my last chapter)

"So, are you going anywhere this winter break?" Inuyasha asked Miroku.

"I usually do, but not this year. The news said we'd actually have a white Christmas this year, so I'm going to stay." Miroku said. The whole gang was walking home and Inuyasha and Kagome had become friends. They were supposedly a couple but they haven't been on one date, after all, they were only friends.

"What about you, Sango?" Kagome asked her friend.

"Yeah, I'm staying here this year." When they all arrived at Inuyasha and Kagome's house, they took off all of their winter clothing and saw Miroku's and Sango's parents there along with Inuyasha's and Kagome's.

"Hey, mom, what are you doing here?" Sango asked.

"We're not in trouble for anything are we?" Miroku asked.

"Oh no, nothing like that." Sango's mom said.

"YOU'RE NOT ARRANGING [i]US[/i] TO GET MARRIED, TOO, ARE YOU?" Sango yelled. And Inuyasha and Kagome laughed and snickered to each other behind her back.

"What's wrong with that?" Miroku asked.

"So much." Sango said and slapped him.

"No, no, we're just going to have Christmas her with Inuyasha and Kagome's parents. Our heater isn't working and Miroku's house has a pipe leak that's flooding his basement and freezing his house. And we can't go back home until it's fixed." Sango's mom said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but staying here will be fun!" Kagome said with glee.

"We've packed what you both need and put in Inuyasha's and Kagome's room!" Miroku's mom said.

"We'll be in the guest room down here." Miroku's dad said.

"There's a guest room?!" Kagome and Inuyasha yelled to their parents. They backed up. "WHAT DIDN'Y YOU TELL US 3 MONTHS AGO?!"

"Well, that wouldn't be any fun would it?" Inuyasha's dad smiled.

"And you wouldn't have gotten to know each other." Kagome's mom said.

To much of their surprise, Inuyasha and Kagome just laughed. "We would have been mad 3 months ago and sometimes now, but we [i]did[/i] get to know each other." Kagome said.

"Yeah, now we're friends." Kagome smiled at the parents and then Inuyasha. "Race ya upstairs."

"You're on." Inuyasha started to run.

"Cheater! Come back here!"

"Wait for us!" Miroku and Sango followed them.

"Well, their reaction was far from theirs 3 months ago." Kagome's dad said.

"I told you it was a good idea to set them up." Inuyasha's mom said

"Hey you wanna bring up the guest couch up here?" it has a fold up bed." Kagome said.

"We have a fold up couch?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, com on, let's go get it."

"Wait, you knew we had a fold up couch and you never said anything?" Inuyasha asked in confusion and then smirked. Sango and Miroku just stood there and listened closely to the conversation.

"Uhh…"

"So you [i]did[/i] want to sleep with me!"

"No, we just got it a week after we moved in!" Kagome said nervously.

"We still hated each other after that week. You could have suggested getting that couch in here."

"Uhh…you were cute ok!?" Kagome spat of and slapped her mouth shut realizing what she just had told him. Sango and Miroku laughed out loud and immediately shut up when they saw a red aura around Kagome when she glared at them.

"So you '[i]did[/i]' want to sleep with me…" Inuyasha smirked.

"Sure, but not the way Miroku thinks 'sleeping' means." Kagome rolled her eyes. "Now can we just get off this topic?"

"Sure, but you know I'm going to hold this over your head even after we get married." Inuyasha said, still grinning widely and starting to walk downstairs with Miroku to get the couch.

Kagome yelled, "IF! Remember, IF!" and he just waved from behind his back.

"The nerve!" Kagome slumped in the couch that was already in the room in the corner with a TV. Sango sat by Kagome and smiled at her. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you like him more than a friend."

"No, I don't, he's just a friend who I happen to sleep with."

"And is your boyfriend."

"Yeah, so, he doesn't even take me places; buy be anything, he's just another best friend is all. I wonder if he remembers that the semester/term is over and we don't have to date anymore."

"Oh, so now he's one of your best friends?" Sango grinned.

"Yeah, I guess. I mean, we've gotten to know each other better. I guess Miroku's one of my best friends now, also. We're all one big group of best friends." Kagome chuckled.

The guys brought up the couch and started to spread everything off. "Hey, you want to go ice skating at the mall? The big Christmas tree is up today right in the middle of the ice rink." Sango suggested.

"Cool, you wanna go now?" Miroku said.

"Yeah, sure." Kagome said.

"Wait, share a bed with Miroku!" Sango screamed and practically ran like a lunatic.

"Haha, you just realized that? Now you know how I felt when I found out I had to share a bed with Inuyasha!" Kagome laughed so hard she had to hold her stomach.

"Yeah, and if it's the same with Kagome and I, you'll fall off the edge of your bed." Inuyasha laughed but not as much as Kagome.

"What? What's so funny? I'm not laughing, I'm happy, overwhelmed, and smiling like a hobo who hasn't seen food in weeks and went to a buffet." Miroku said and literally was smiling like what he just said.

"Sango, stop running, let's go get changed to go skating." Kagome pulled Sango into the bathroom. "You guys change out here and don't you dare come in until we say you can." Kagome slammed the double bathroom doors.

"Like I would want to!" Inuyasha screamed. He looked at Miroku getting his clothes out, "I know you do though."

They both came out of the bathroom in long white pants. Sango wore a tight, light purple long-sleeved shirt with white fluff around the collar and the wrists. Kagome wore the same except it was a light blue shirt and they both wore a white hooded coat. Inuyasha and Miroku wore a pair of black jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, Inuyasha wore a red one and Miroku wore a navy blue one.

"Well, let's go. It's too cold for us to ride our bikes all the way to the mall." Kagome said.

"Well, I got my permit (dunno, if you can still have one or not...so don't sue me if 16 year olds can't ); we just need someone 18 or older to come with us." Miroku said.

"I think it's safer if we actually let someone 18 or older to drive." Sango said. "So which parent is driving us?

"I don't know, let's go ask them." Kagome said. They went downstairs, "Hey parents, which one of you wants to talk us to the mall to go ice skating?"

"I would!" ALL of the adults said raising their hands. They all laughed and settled for, "WE ALL WOULD!"

"Great, this is going to be so embarrassing." Inuyasha sighed.
