Okay, for those of you who didn't receive your songs, I apologize fiercely.
My e-mail is screwed up for some reason and I can't do anything about it,
so I apologize.
Anyway, this weekend, I'm going to Florida for a trip and I'm not coming back till Sunday night. I'm trying to update as much as possible, so you won't be seeing any updates this weekend until next Monday. We're supposed to be swimming with Manatees.

***One Kiss***
"Um, Kikyo?"
"Yes, dear?"
"What are you doing?"
"Cleaning, of course!" Kikyo turned off the vacuum. She was wearing an apron over her business attire, a red scarf on her head, bright yellow rubber gloves on her hands, and a cleaning mask over her mouth and nose. Inuyasha stared at her curiously.
"But, you NEVER clean." Inuyasha stepped inside the kitchen, putting down his suitcase.
"Well, Kagura quit. I put an ad in the paper for a new maid."
"Feh, good riddens to that wench."
"For your information, she had some.... family issues to deal with."
Kikyo took off her gloves and sat down on the other side of the kitchen table. "Well, in about twenty minutes I've got a meeting to go to."
"With who?"
"Um, just some clients and fellow employees," Kikyo lied. If her husband found out she was having a meeting with Naraku, he wouldn't have let her leave.
"Well, I guess I'll go to the bar tonight then."
Later...************************************************************
"So, after my father was tragically murdered, I came to Tokyo to start a new life a live up to father's last wish. He was a priest you know! And my mother was an orphan trying to pay her by finding work anywhere."
"Oh, Miroku tell us more!"
"Well I- Oh hi Sango!" he said nervously. Sango loomed over him, growling like a wolf would do when it was about to kill. She grabbed him by his ear and carried him away from the group of girls.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"Just, making conversation."
"Your father is retired in Fiji and your mother was a Las Vegas showgirl in a family of nine kids!"
"Sango, hey!" Kagome said.
"Kagome, what are you doing here? Today is your day off."
"Well, I just finished my final exam for the university," Kagome said, "I needed somewhere to relax." Just then, Inuyasha walked through the door, this time dressed in casual attire, red leather jacket slung over his shoulder. He walked in and sat down at the bar next to her.
"What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. Just finished exams."
"You're going to college?" She nodded, then took a drink of her coke, since she didn't drink. Inuyasha watched her intently. They weren't actually dating, just hanging out, as good friends. The reason he hadn't told Miroku and Sango that was just because he didn't feel the need to tell anyone his business. Of course, him not telling him almost caused his head to get ripped off.
***CRASH!!!***
"Not again," Miroku muttered.
"What was that?" Kagome asked, "did something just break?"
"That, was our new busboy," Miroku said, "Shippo."
Another crash was heard and Sango came out. "Make another order for glasses, we just loss a whole case," Sango said, wiping off her forehead with a towel.
"Hey, you hired him," Miroku said, getting on the phone.
A little boy walked out of the back, trying his hardest to balance several glasses on the tray, though seeming to fail miserably in his little tuxedo. (A/N: Shippo in a tux, kawaii! ^_^)
"Kagome!" The little kitsune jumped up, leaving the tray in midair, which Sango managed to catch just in time. She let out a breath as she set the tray down on the table.
"Shippo!" Kagome caught the little boy in her arms and hugged him tightly. "How have you been doing?"
"Great! My voice is back, and now I'm in Souta's class!"
"That's great Shippo!" Kagome smiled at him.
"Who is this runt?"
"I'm not a runt!"
"Leave him alone, Inuyasha!"
"What are you, a foot tall?"
"I'm 30 inches tall thank you very much!"
"Don't correct me toddler!"
"I'm eight asshole!"
"Shippo!"
"Why you little-"
Sure enough, they started chasing each other around the room, flashing by people in the room.
"Sango?"
"Yeah Kagome?"
"Um, how are we gonna stop them?"
"Easy."
Sango stepped out into their running path and let out her foot the moment the orange flash flew by. The white flash tripped over her foot, causing him to crash into a chair.
"Like I said, easy."
Later....***********************************************************
"So how do you know that little runt?" Inuyasha asked, stopping the car.
"I met him in the hospital."
"Why were you in the hospital?"
"Not me," Kagome said, "my little brother, Souta. He had leukemia about a year ago. Shippo was his roommate, in for a tonsillectomy, while my brother was in for a bone marrow transplant. He's not entirely cured, but enough for him to go back to school. We're still paying the medical bill, that's why I took the job here. If we don't get enough money soon, I'll have to drop out of college. I wanted to become a lawyer, but at this rate, that might not be happening."
She looked up at him when she felt his warm hand on hers. "You'll make a great lawyer someday, and there's always room for you at my firm for you," Inuyasha said, blushing slightly.
"Thanks Inuyasha," she replied, somewhat shyly.
"Feh, don't read to much into it," he said, hiding his blush. She smiled at him and whispered, "Inuyasha..."
And what happened next, was a spontaneous spur of the moment, as their lips collided with each others, Inuyasha pushing all thoughts of logic to the back of his mind, Kagome never wanting the moment to end. There was no turning back now, and both knew it.
Preview of next chapter:
"What's this?" Kagome looked on the paper, "maid for hire, call Kikyo Takashi at 555-4205...."
