Chapter Twelve

Sango and Kagome woke up late the next morning. They looked at each other, "Hey, where are the guys?" Sango went over to the bathroom.

"I don't know, let's just brush our teeth and-hey, what's this?" Kagome picked up a note on the counter that said:

[i]Kagome and Sango,

Please get ready and get dressed and come downstairs for a surprise.[/i]

"Wow that isn't like them." Sango mumbled while brushing her teeth.

"Yeah, well it's like guys. They didn't even put what we had to dress up for so we know what to wear." Kagome spit out her water and went over to the shower.

"Could you hurry up?" Sango said.

"Just pick out clothes for us." Kagome said. Sango went into the closet, where everyone's clothes were by now, and get two long sleeved turtle necks and a pair of black pants. Sango wore a blue turtleneck and Kagome wore a green one. They went downstairs and before they even got to the stairs they heard clanging.

"What are you two doing?!" Kagome screamed while holding her ears. Sango was holding her ears too.

They guys turned around with pots and pans in their hands and food on their faces. "Trying to make you girls breakfast." Miroku smiled brightly to cover up that there's nothing wrong with this picture.

Kagome grabbed the pots and pans from Inuyasha and Sango grabbed them from Miroku. They pointed over to the living room. "Wait there." Sango ordered them.

They boys slumped over to the living room. Once they got there, Inuyasha started talking "Part one: complete." Inuyasha said. "It'll take a while before they get that mess cleaned up and actually cook us break-"

"All clean! Breakfast is ready!" Kagome screamed over to the next room.

"Ahh!" Inuyasha jumped. "Did I just scream like a woman?"

"Don't flatter yourself, you scream like a girl." Kagome laughed.

"Wow, you girls sure are fast." Miroku said coming into his food.

"Well, what were you two thinking this morning?" Sango said.

"Well, we were going to surprise you with a breakfast." Miroku said.

"Then what was with the mess? No can make that type of mess." Kagome said.

"Well, we were fighting, slipping, spilling, and to sum it up, we can't cook." Inuyasha got up and started to wash his plate. Everyone's plate started to pile on Inuyasha's. "Hey, you expect me to wash the dishes?!"

"Well, we did cook." Kagome said.

"Yeah, then what about Miroku?"

"He's going to wash the table and clean the floor." Sango said.

"We'll be watching TV in the next room." Kagome went through the door with Sango.

They guys finished and went through the ballroom staircase to get upstairs. Miroku got into a dark blue sweater and Inuyasha got into a red one and they both wore black jeans.

"Where are we going? I thought that your 'breakfast' was the only surprise." Sango said.

"We're sorry. We're going to the mall to make it up to you." Miroku smiled. They girls jumped up with glee and went to the mall.

"It's a week until Christmas, let's get each other gifts!" Sango said.

"Ok, you and Miroku go together and Sango and I will go together ok? We'll met you in the food court!" Kagome waved back with Sango beside her.

"Wait, but-"Inuyasha stammered.

"Forget it Inuyasha, let's just go along with the plan. They actually made it easier for us. We don't have to sneak around to get them their gifts." Miroku said. "Come on, the store's this way."

"So, what do you think we should get the guys?" Sango said looking though the store windows.

"I don't know, boys are so hard to shop for. The only thing I can think of are watches." Kagome shrugged.

"That's true. There are like no stores for guys except clothes and we don't know what their sizes are."

"True. Let's just get them watches. Hey, should we get them something for Valentine's Day, too?"

"Yeah! But let's keep it a surprise."

Miroku and Inuyasha were walking into a jewelry store. "We're going to get them necklaces right?"

"Yeah. "Inuyasha said looking through the tables. "You look at one for Sango and I'll look at one for Kagome. We're going to buy their Valentine's Day gifts somewhere else."

'I just hope Miroku doesn't know what [i]my[/i] other gift is.' Inuyasha thought.

"Hey, I bought mine, you get yours yet?"

"Almost, just go wait outside for me." Inuyasha said. 'Why am I even buying this for her? I'm not ready. I'm just crazy, stupid, and

'Maybe I'm just doing this just in case.' Inuyasha's conscience said.

'Just in case of what?! What is going to happen?! And who the hell are you?!'

'I'm you so shut up, when you do, I do.'

'Fine, shutting up.' Inuyasha fought with himself.

'Well, you know that you're doing this because you just love her.'

'I do not! And I thought you said you were going to shut up!'

'I lied.'

"Hurry up Inuyasha; we've still get to get them their Valentine's gifts." Miroku said from outside the store.

"Yeah, yeah, just hold up." Inuyasha said.

"Sir, would you like this wrapped?" the salesman said.

"A ribbon would be fine."

"For both gifts, sir?"

"Yes, please." Inuyasha paid and left with Miroku to get the girls gifts for Valentine's Day. Inuyasha put the two boxes in a small bag so Miroku didn't know he bought two gifts.

"What should we get them?" Miroku looked around the mall for something interesting.

"I don't know. What do you think we should get them? Getting those necklaces was my idea, so you think of one." Inuyasha said.

"How about that?" Miroku pointed at a window in Bath and Body Works.

"Naw, too common."

"Then how about music boxes?"

"Yeah, sure that's practical. Don't you want to give Sango something with feeling?"

"Yeah, but what?"

"How about what everyone does. Get them stuffed animals."

"Way too common."

"Let's just get them something personalized."

"Ok." Miroku agreed. So they went find something to personalize. After everyone bought their gifts, they went to the food court.

They ate and went home. On the way home, they were bugging each other, asking what they got each other and everything. (An, ok guys got girls gifts and vise versa. Sorry not much description at this point but I'm tried…)
