~*~*~*~* DISCLAIMER ** Shin does not own Inu Yasha.. Why don't you stop
bothering him/her?
~*~*~*~* Chapter 20 ~ Open Your Mouth *~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~* SHIN ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
"There! I'm done!" Mr. Totousai shouted finally. The old principal smiled at the two of them. At Inu Yasha and Kagome. "Now I want you to move as much as you can so that I can see whether this rope is tight enough or not."
None of them moved. One reason, because they couldn't (the rope is very tight) and the second reason, because the two of them seemed to be more concentrating on keeping each other's eyes away from the other. Mr. Totousai's smile widened silently.
'Aaaah, another love starting to bloom from my students again..' he thought to himself. 'Well, I don't want to disturb them..'
"The rope seem tight enough." He said, "Now, here's your bag of treats. This bag contains 10 candies inside it. I'm sure you know the rule Inu Yasha. If you got 10 or less treats by the end of tomorrow, you'll loose and both of you will receive tricks from the school. But if you got more than 10, you'll be free from that torture! Got that?" Both Inu Yasha and Kagome nodded at the same time, "Alright then. Here, Kagome, you hold it. Bye now, and good luck!" Mr. Totousai said, leaving the two of them alone.
Silence and no movement.
No movement and silence.
And so that happened for 5 long, uneventful minutes.
Finally Inu Yasha decided he have to break the nervous silence. He gave a cough to grabbed Kagome's attention.
"Ehem, well.. we need to go to our class..." He said, still avoiding Kagome's eyes. Beside him, Kagome nodded. So tightly they were tied, Inu Yasha could feel her movement (A/N =p).
"Yes, I guess we have to.." She muttered. Inu Yasha gulped. Why was this so hard?
"O... Okay then." But none of them moved. Finally, Inu Yasha started to move his right feet, only to found it impossible. It was, after all, his right foot that was tied together with Kagome's left foot. And so was his right hand, tied together to Kagome's left. So then, Inu Yasha gave another slight cough and moved his left foot. Kagome, taking the hint, followed his move. They were late, late, late, WAY late from their first class, but since this was, after all, the beginning of the Halloween Festival, the teachers didn't really care.
'Why am I so damn nervous?' Inu Yasha thought to himself, keeping the slow but safe rhythm together with his partner, 'I mean, I've been hanging a lot with her and we ARE friends, so why am I nervous? Sure, I've never been this close to her, but that doesn't mean anything! But... her skin is so soft.. and her smell. Her beautiful, nice, calming smell of jasmine. I love it. I wish we can stay like this forever... NOW WHERE DID THAT THOUGHT CAME FROM?' The color of red slowly conquered his face. Without him realizing it, Kagome was watching him out of the corner of her eyes.
"He is so kawaii when he blushed! NO! KAGOME, DID YOU JUST SAY KAWAII? But... why will Inu Yasha blush suddenly? Could he be thinking about.. about me? No, no way. Who am in front of his eyes anyways? Nothing more than a mere girl who happened to be his beastfriend's friend.. yeah, that's right. I'm not even his BESTFRIEND!' Kagome's eyes began to wander off and landed on a pair of golden, amber eyes. She took a deep breath, 'And those eyes... How can I EVER resist them? They are just so beautiful, so calming, so.. comforting. Okay, there goes another one of my stupid thoughts again...'
The two of them have their own wandering thoughts inside their heads. And before they even noticed it, they were already in front of their first class. However, the moment they looked at the door, their jaws dropped and their eyes almost escaped their sockets.. just take it they couldn't believe what they saw.
~*~*~*~* ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCHOOL- 10 MINUTES BEFORE*~*~*~*~
Sango took a deep breath. Again. Another Halloween being tied together with Miroku again. Both of them were already sitting side by side in their first class. Kagome and Inu Yasha were not there yet.
'This is getting nowhere. Miroku keeps on trying to grope girls as if he forgot that he was tied with me. He had dragged me through the whole school looking for girls. This is tiring. Can't he at LEAST be the Miroku that had saved me when I drowned on the beach a few weeks ago for a few minutes?' Sango took another deep breath. Miroku heard her this time.
"What's up Sango?" Sango stared at Mrs. Muonna, who had been lecturing about their History lesson. Luckily this class was noisy, so they could have a conversation like this.
"Nothing, Miroku." She muttered. Miroku frowned silently.
'What's wrong with her? Doesn't she LIKE being my partner? Doesn't she KNOW that I couldn't sleep half of the night yesterday just because I keep on wondering will she be my partner again? Doesn't she even CARE about me? Through out the whole morning, I've been trying to grab her attention, but it seems she couldn't care less about me.... but I will say it today. I will say it no matter what the cost. I will tell her that I love her...'
While Miroku was having these thoughts inside his head, Sango was examining her partner. He have dark circles under his eyes that usually didn't belong there. And he seemed to sigh a lot today. And it also seemed that Miroku had tried dozens of times to captured her eyes, but Sango had looked away on purpose. It's as if he's trying to tell her something, but she couldn't guess what it was. And she's definitely not ready for surprising news this morning. The two of them stayed quiet for a while until Miroku couldn't take it any longer.
"You're not usually this quiet Sango. Is there something wrong?" Sango was a bit surprised with this statement.
"What are you talking about Miroku? There's nothing wrong with me!" Miroku looked closely into Sango's eyes, which caused the girl to blushed fiercely.
"You.. don't like me as your partner, huh?" Miroku said, looking away. Sango was, again, confused with this statement.
"Did you eat something wrong for breakfast Miroku?" Sango asked. This was not the question she had intended to asked him. She really wanted to tell him that she's glad, she's happy, and she's relieved to have him as her partner again. But she couldn't say it. She didn't know why, she just couldn't.
"Sango.." Miroku said, looking away from Sango. "I...I'm really glad that you're my partner again. I've been wishing and hoping for days that we can be partners again. And this morning, my wish had come true.. However, it seemed that you don't feel the same way that I do..."
"NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Sango shouted, forgetting the fact that she was in the middle of a classroom. Mrs. Muonna frowned.
"Ms. Taijiya (A/N That's Sango's last name), please stand in the hallway. And Mr. Houshi (A/N That's Miroku's last name), I'm sorry but you will have to follow her too, since you are tied up together."
Sango frowned. She then tried to stand up but was drag back to the seat since Miroku haven't stand up. The same thing happened to Miroku. Finally, they have to counted 1..2..3.. before they could walked slowly towards the door (A/N ^^;).
The moment they were outside, Sango leaned back to the wall. Miroku looked at her.
"What do you mean it's not like that?" Miroku asked, going back to the topic. Sango closed her eyes. This was the time she needed to let it go. Miroku was right there, waiting for her. She HAVE to say it.
"Miroku.." She began. "I'm happy to be your partner." Sango was surprised that she stopped there. But her throat was locked. Miroku looked at her.
"I've got a feeling that you're not saying what you wanted to say." Miroku whispered. Sango took a deep breath. How could he read her mind like that? She looked at him straight in the eye and let it all burst out.
"Fine! The truth is, I've always wanted to be your partner! I always wished that we will always be this close! I'm very happy that my wish had come true! I'm GLAD! I'm RELIEVED! I wanted this moment to freeze forever! The reason I don't like Halloween is because I'm afraid that we won't be partners again. And if we are, I'm afraid that by the end of the festival we no longer have to be tied together! I wanted to be close to you! Heck, I don't even know why I feel that way! But I just do! Every time that I'm close to you, I'm very happy and my heart beats wildly. And when we're apart, I keep on thinking about you. I just can't let you out of my mind! I keep on thinking that I'm crazy, that I'm insane. But the more I convince myself that I'm just your friend, the more pain my heart gets! I don't know why, but I like it when we're together. I WANT to be together with you!"
Sango had said that all in one breath. She was just about to take a big breath when suddenly her lips were covered with Miroku's. Her eyes widened in surprise, but soon she began to enjoy it. After a few seconds, Sango let go, she needed to breathe in air. Miroku looked at her and smiled.
"Does that mean you're in love with me?" Sango blushed, and slowly nodded.
"It doesn't matter what your answer will be..." she muttered. "At least I let it out.."
"Funny," Miroku interrupted her. "But it seems that I feel the same way as you do..."
The two of them stopped talking and looked into each other's eyes. Slowly, their faces came closer and closer. Finally, when their lips were touching each other's again..
"MIROKU!"
"SANGO!"
The kissing couple instantly broke apart. Surprised yet angry at the same time, they looked around to see who had dared to broke their special moment. The moment they did, the two of them blushed so red that they could saw steam escaping from their ears.
Kagome and Inu Yasha were standing right in front of them, their jaws dropped and their eyes almost escaped from their sockets.
"You.. you guys are.. are... since when?" Inu Yasha asked, his voice hoarse because of the big surprise he just saw.
Kagome was too surprised to say anything.
There was an eerie silence surrounding the four of them. Inu Yasha stunned, Kagome speechless, while Miroku & Sango seemed to be too busy with their blushing. Finally, after a few minutes, Kagome regained back her voice.
"YOU GUYS KISSED!!!" She squealed. (A/N Duh. What does it look like, girl?)
"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Sango hushed her, face still red.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS MADE UP!" Inu Yasha roared. Honestly, if Mrs. Muonna's class weren't noisy, the class would have easily heard this conversation.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Miroku hushed him, face still red. (A/N ^^;)
"We'll explained later!" Sango promised, "Not right now. And besides you guys need to go to class."
"We want to hear it NOW!" Kagome protested.
"Just GO!" Miroku said, pushing both of them. Sango soon helped him out.
"Geeez." Inu Yasha said when he was pushed towards the door, his eyebrows raised, "a lot can happen when you're gone all morning.."
~*~*~*~* LUNCH TIME *~*~*~*~
Both Inu Yasha and Kagome had weird expressions on their faces. They were both smiling stupidly at Sango and Miroku, who had just finished explaining how they had... made up (A/N Lol. No, they didn't explained EVERYTHING ^^).
"What?" Sango said nervously.
"You must be REALLY happy, Sango." Kagome whispered. Sango blushed.
"Finally you let it out, huh Miroku?" Inu Yasha smirked. Miroku blushed.
"You are now LEGALLY a COUPLE!" Kagome and Inu Yasha shouted at the same time. Both Sango and Miroku blushed.
"Enough of that! Let's EAT!" Miroku said, taking his right hand for the spoon. That was when it hit Inu Yasha.
"Hey!"
"What?" Kagome said, rising her eyebrow. (A/N This is how they sit, Inu Yasha - Kagome and Sango - Miroku in front of them ^^)
"How am I suppose to eat?" He said. Then it occurred to Kagome. Inu Yasha's right hand was tied to her left hand! Meaning that he couldn't use the spoon!
"Urgh.." was all Kagome can say.
"Duh. Have you forgotten Inu Yasha?" Miroku said matter-of-factly, as he took a spoonful of Sango's food towards Sango's mouth (A/N I shouldn't fail to say that Sango was blushing wildly ^.~;). "The partner who have their right hand free have to do it for you, except if you are left- handed! Which in your case... Kagome have to give you your food!"
CLANG
Kagome had dropped her spoon in surprise. SHE HAVE TO HELPED INU YASHA WITH HIS FOOD?!?!?!?! Beside her, Inu Yasha was stroked by a thunderbolt.
"Damn it!" He shouted. "I FORGOT about that stupid thing! If I remembered, I should have let my left hand be tied!" Sango smirked as she swallowed the food Miroku had helped her with.
"Does that mean that YOU want to help Kagome with HER food?" she said. Inu Yasha blushed instantly.
"Heck no! I mean, if I'm the one that have my right hand, I can feed MYSELF! I couldn't careless if that wench eats or not!" Kagome glared daggers at Inu Yasha.
"Fine then! I wouldn't HELP you with your food!"
"Hmph! Like I WANT to!" Inu Yasha countered back. "I can still use my left hand!" He then started to took his spoon using his left hand. He dug it in into his (A/N think of a food.. urm... soup? Urgh, that's not good.. But I can't think of others right now... .;) soup and slowly raised it up to his mouth. Kagome was watching him carefully. Just when Inu Yasha was about to put the spoon into his mouth, the spoon dropped to his pants, making stains all over his clothes.
"DAMN IT!" Inu Yasha shouted. Miroku and Sango giggled. Inu Yasha quickly stood up, forgetting that we was tied together with Kagome. So this made a bad movement. He knocked over the table and caused his bowl of soup to dropped to his shirt.
"AAARGH! MY FAVORITE SHIRT!" Inu Yasha shouted. What followed was a row of curses (A/N v_v; I won't say them..) and a LOT more stains. Kagome quickly grabbed a napkin and started to wipe the stains away. This caused Inu Yasha to stopped cursing and blushed.
"Y... You don't have to do that...." He muttered.
"No. If we don't clean the stains right away, it will never be gone. And you don't want THAT to happen to your favorite shirt, right?" Kagome replied.
"Urgh... alright then... thanks..." Inu Yasha muttered again. This time, Kagome stopped and looked at him.
'Did he just say 'thanks'?' the voice inside of her mind said.
Inu Yasha was suddenly very interested with the ceiling. Seeing this, Kagome smiled and put the napkin aside. Instead, she grabbed her spoon and dipped it into HER soup and carefully lifted it up.
"Inu Yasha.." she said. Inu Yasha looked at her,
"What?" he said, the left over of his blush still stuck in his cheeks,
"Open your mouth." Inu Yasha looked at her and then at the spoon right in front of him. He was about to say no when he thought better of it. Instead he blushed deep crimson and slowly opened his mouth. Kagome giggled beside him and let the spoon entered his mouth.
Then the two of them looked at each other and their eyes locked. Kagome started to blushed.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
The two of them quickly came back to earth and looked at their friends that were smiling stupidly in front of them.
"I see that someone's in loooooo~oooove!" Miroku shouted.
"Wha---?" Kagome started only to be interrupted by Sango.
"Did you see Miroku? They couldn't take their eyes away from each other!"
"Indeed." Miroku said, looking at the two of them happily.
"Shaddap!" Kagome said.
"At least we didn't KISSED like someone I KNOW!" Inu Yasha snapped. This closed both Sango's and Miroku's mouths. Inu Yasha smirked at his friends. Kagome smiled to herself as she began to dug her spoon to her soup again.
"Inu Yasha?"
"Yes?" He said, still sneering at the new couple.
"Open your mouth...."
Inu Yasha smiled to himself as he took another spoon from Kagome. Kagome was, again, giggling. Inu Yasha sniffed lightly into the air. Kagome's smell. So calming...
How he wished this moment would freeze for eternity.
"Look who's frozen on the spot.." Sango teased. Inu Yasha came back to his senses after hearing this. He jerked his head up to see the girl in front of him.
"What are you talking about?" he snapped. Sango rolled her eyes.
"I wonder.." She said.
"Stop speaking nonsense!" Inu Yasha shouted. Miroku was snickering.
"Hey Inu. When you guys are getting married, don't forget to give us the invitations. I mean.. I'll be your best man if you want..!" Both Inu Yasha and Kagome blushed deep crimson. With his left hand, he grabbed his fallen bowl and threw it towards his best friend.
"Take that, you pervert!"
Both Sango and Miroku were laughing stupidly, until the fact that the bowl landed on Miroku's face. (A/N.. =p)
Kagome sighed,
"Inu Yasha?" Kagome said. He looked at her. She smiled, a spoon raised in front of him.
"Open your mouth......"
And for the rest of the day, as they walked side by side, the two of them wished their lunch had never ended...

~*~*~*~* SHIN ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
"There! I'm done!" Mr. Totousai shouted finally. The old principal smiled at the two of them. At Inu Yasha and Kagome. "Now I want you to move as much as you can so that I can see whether this rope is tight enough or not."
None of them moved. One reason, because they couldn't (the rope is very tight) and the second reason, because the two of them seemed to be more concentrating on keeping each other's eyes away from the other. Mr. Totousai's smile widened silently.

~*~*~*~* ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCHOOL- 10 MINUTES BEFORE*~*~*~*~
Sango took a deep breath. Again. Another Halloween being tied together with Miroku again. Both of them were already sitting side by side in their first class. Kagome and Inu Yasha were not there yet.
'This is getting nowhere. Miroku keeps on trying to grope girls as if he forgot that he was tied with me. He had dragged me through the whole school looking for girls. This is tiring.

"MIROKU!"
"SANGO!"
The kissing couple instantly broke apart. Surprised yet angry at the same time, they looked around to see who had dared to broke their special moment. The moment they did, the two of them blushed so red that they could saw steam escaping from their ears.
Kagome and Inu Yasha were standing right in front of them, their jaws dropped and their eyes almost escaped from their sockets.
"You.. you guys are.. are... since when?" Inu Yasha asked, his voice hoarse because of the big surprise he just saw.
Kagome was too surprised to say anything.
There was an eerie silence surrounding the four of them. Inu Yasha stunned, Kagome speechless, while Miroku & Sango seemed to be too busy with their blushing. Finally, after a few minutes, Kagome regained back her voice.
"YOU GUYS KISSED!!!" She squealed. (A/N Duh. What does it look like, girl?)
"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Sango hushed her, face still red.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS MADE UP!" Inu Yasha roared. Honestly, if Mrs. Muonna's class weren't noisy, the class would have easily heard this conversation.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Miroku hushed him, face still red. (A/N ^^;)
"We'll explained later!" Sango promised, "Not right now. And besides you guys need to go to class."
"We want to hear it NOW!" Kagome protested.
"Just GO!" Miroku said, pushing both of them. Sango soon helped him out.
"Geeez." Inu Yasha said when he was pushed towards the door, his eyebrows raised, "a lot can happen when you're gone all morning.."
~*~*~*~* LUNCH TIME *~*~*~*~
Both Inu Yasha and Kagome had weird expressions on their faces. They were both smiling stupidly at Sango and Miroku, who had just finished explaining how they had... made up (A/N Lol. No, they didn't explained EVERYTHING ^^).
"What?" Sango said nervously.
"You must be REALLY happy, Sango." Kagome whispered. Sango blushed.
"Finally you let it out, huh Miroku?" Inu Yasha smirked. Miroku blushed.
"You are now LEGALLY a COUPLE!" Kagome and Inu Yasha shouted at the same time. Both Sango and Miroku blushed.
"Enough of that! Let's EAT!" Miroku said, taking his right hand for the spoon. That was when it hit Inu Yasha.
"Hey!"
"What?" Kagome said, rising her eyebrow. (A/N This is how they sit, Inu Yasha - Kagome and Sango - Miroku in front of them ^^)
"How am I suppose to eat?" He said. Then it occurred to Kagome. Inu Yasha's right hand was tied to her left hand! Meaning that he couldn't use the spoon!
"Urgh.." was all Kagome can say.
"Duh. Have you forgotten Inu Yasha?" Miroku said matter-of-factly, as he took a spoonful of Sango's food towards Sango's mouth (A/N I shouldn't fail to say that Sango was blushing wildly ^.~;). "The partner who have their right hand free have to do it for you, except if you are left- handed! Which in your case... Kagome have to give you your food!"
CLANG
Kagome had dropped her spoon in surprise. SHE HAVE TO HELPED INU YASHA WITH HIS FOOD?!?!?!?! Beside her, Inu Yasha was stroked by a thunderbolt.
"Damn it!" He shouted. "I FORGOT about that stupid thing! If I remembered, I should have let my left hand be tied!" Sango smirked as she swallowed the food Miroku had helped her with.
"Does that mean that YOU want to help Kagome with HER food?" she said. Inu Yasha blushed instantly.
"Heck no! I mean, if I'm the one that have my right hand, I can feed MYSELF! I couldn't careless if that wench eats or not!" Kagome glared daggers at Inu Yasha.
"Fine then! I wouldn't HELP you with your food!"
"Hmph! Like I WANT to!" Inu Yasha countered back. "I can still use my left hand!" He then started to took his spoon using his left hand. He dug it in into his (A/N think of a food.. urm... soup? Urgh, that's not good.. But I can't think of others right now... .;) soup and slowly raised it up to his mouth. Kagome was watching him carefully. Just when Inu Yasha was about to put the spoon into his mouth, the spoon dropped to his pants, making stains all over his clothes.
"DAMN IT!" Inu Yasha shouted. Miroku and Sango giggled. Inu Yasha quickly stood up, forgetting that we was tied together with Kagome. So this made a bad movement. He knocked over the table and caused his bowl of soup to dropped to his shirt.
"AAARGH! MY FAVORITE SHIRT!" Inu Yasha shouted. What followed was a row of curses (A/N v_v; I won't say them..) and a LOT more stains. Kagome quickly grabbed a napkin and started to wipe the stains away. This caused Inu Yasha to stopped cursing and blushed.
"Y... You don't have to do that...." He muttered.
"No. If we don't clean the stains right away, it will never be gone. And you don't want THAT to happen to your favorite shirt, right?" Kagome replied.
"Urgh... alright then... thanks..." Inu Yasha muttered again. This time, Kagome stopped and looked at him.
'Did he just say 'thanks'?' the voice inside of her mind said.
Inu Yasha was suddenly very interested with the ceiling. Seeing this, Kagome smiled and put the napkin aside. Instead, she grabbed her spoon and dipped it into HER soup and carefully lifted it up.
"Inu Yasha.." she said. Inu Yasha looked at her,
"What?" he said, the left over of his blush still stuck in his cheeks,
"Open your mouth." Inu Yasha looked at her and then at the spoon right in front of him. He was about to say no when he thought better of it. Instead he blushed deep crimson and slowly opened his mouth. Kagome giggled beside him and let the spoon entered his mouth.
Then the two of them looked at each other and their eyes locked. Kagome started to blushed.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
The two of them quickly came back to earth and looked at their friends that were smiling stupidly in front of them.
"I see that someone's in loooooo~oooove!" Miroku shouted.
"Wha---?" Kagome started only to be interrupted by Sango.
"Did you see Miroku? They couldn't take their eyes away from each other!"
"Indeed." Miroku said, looking at the two of them happily.
"Shaddap!" Kagome said.
"At least we didn't KISSED like someone I KNOW!" Inu Yasha snapped. This closed both Sango's and Miroku's mouths. Inu Yasha smirked at his friends. Kagome smiled to herself as she began to dug her spoon to her soup again.
"Inu Yasha?"
"Yes?" He said, still sneering at the new couple.
"Open your mouth...."
Inu Yasha smiled to himself as he took another spoon from Kagome. Kagome was, again, giggling. Inu Yasha sniffed lightly into the air. Kagome's smell. So calming...
How he wished this moment would freeze for eternity.
"Look who's frozen on the spot.." Sango teased. Inu Yasha came back to his senses after hearing this. He jerked his head up to see the girl in front of him.
"What are you talking about?" he snapped. Sango rolled her eyes.
"I wonder.." She said.
"Stop speaking nonsense!" Inu Yasha shouted. Miroku was snickering.
"Hey Inu. When you guys are getting married, don't forget to give us the invitations. I mean.. I'll be your best man if you want..!" Both Inu Yasha and Kagome blushed deep crimson. With his left hand, he grabbed his fallen bowl and threw it towards his best friend.
"Take that, you pervert!"
Both Sango and Miroku were laughing stupidly, until the fact that the bowl landed on Miroku's face. (A/N.. =p)
Kagome sighed,
"Inu Yasha?" Kagome said. He looked at her. She smiled, a spoon raised in front of him.
"Open your mouth......"
And for the rest of the day, as they walked side by side, the two of them wished their lunch had never ended...
~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~
Oooh, is there a lot of fluffs in this chappie (at least for Miroku & Sango?)? Hahaha, I asked my friend to helped me on this one coz I seriously sucked on romances!
