The Question that was almost never asked and the attack of the killer squirrels!


Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku were all sitting in their usual seats in History. Inuyasha was snoring, Miroku was staring off into space with his usual dazed look, and since Sango was at Home sick it was Kagome's job to keep Miroku in check. "Miroku...I really hate to do this but Sango said to if you get that look on your face again." and with that said she hit him over the head. "Ow! Geze even when she's not here I get a bump!" he exclaimed rubbing his head. "I hope Sango gets better soon... we were going to go to the fair this weekend." he said with a sigh. As he said this Inuyasha picked his head off of his desk and listened. "Really? She actually agreed to go out with you?" Inuyasha asked surprised. "Yah...why do you looked so surprised? I'm a loveable person." said Miroku with a wink. "Sure you are..." said Inuyasha with a chuckle while Kagome sat giggling and clutching something in her hand. 'She has never taken it off.' Inuyasha thought with a smile.

The bell rang and they exited the room.

"Hay Inuyasha you should ask her." said Miroku when Kagome was out of earshot. "Ask who what?" said Inuyasha who was staring at Kagome, with Miroku's usual dazed look. Suddenly Miroku stopped with a wide grin on his face. "what?" "You were fanaticizing weren't you." he stated rather than asked.

Inuyasha blushed. "Uh...um...well...I...I...Okay! Okay! I was!" said Inuyasha finally giving in to Miroku's penetrating stare, his blush deepening. "That's my boy!" he said giving Inuyasha a pat on the back. "Shut Up!!! And if you ever tell anyone about this...you will be well aquatinted with the ground!!!" said Inuyasha with a threatening growl. "Don't worry, I wont. I don't really like the taste of dirt." said Miroku jokingly "Well as I was saying before...." Miroku started but was interrupted by Inuyasha. "I'm going to ask her to go to the fair with me." he said more to himself then to Miroku. "Yah I was just goanna say that you should." "huh? did you say something?" "oh no I didn't say a word." said Miroku sarcastically rolling his eyes as Inuyasha went back to staring at Kagome.

"Hello? anyone in there?" Miroku said nocking Inuyasha on the head before getting slammed into the ground by him "What did I just say about touching me?" Inuyasha asked. "no...not...nothing" mumbled Miroku through a mouthful of dirt. "oh. really? well I guess I better tell you now. DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!!!!!!! and you wont be making out with the ground again!!!" he yelled, before walking away leaving Miroku to spit out the dirt he had been kissing. "yuck! A little touchy don't cha think?!" he said to himself.

Through out the week Inuyasha tried many times to ask Kagome but when ever he got the courage to do so the words failed him. It was two days before Saturday and he still hadn't asked her. "So...What did she say?!" asked Miroku expectantly wile following Inuyasha down the hall. "Um...I haven't exactly asked her yet." said Inuyasha. "What?!!" yelled Miroku. He then noticed that everyone in the hall was staring at him. "What? You never heard someone yell?!" he shouted to the crowed which was looking at him like he was mad, an started to back away. "Shoo!!! go to your next class and mind your own business." he turned back to face Inuyasha who had taken advantage of the distraction to escape.

Miroku sighed "I guess I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands." he said with a evil grin. "I heard that!" yelled Inuyasha from outside the exit that they had been heading for. Miroku ran to catch up and Inuyasha hit him. "Ow!" "You will do nothing of the sort." he stated flatly. "Fine. But you better ask her soon. I heard rumors that Koga was going to ask her to go with him." now it was Inuyasha's turn to yell out. "What?!!" he said grabbing the neck of Miroku's shirt. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" he growled. "Uh...I...I forgot to." said Miroku with a nervous grin. "I'll ask her tomorrow." said Inuyasha releasing Miroku form his grasp. "Oh. And don't follow me when I do ask her." "I wont. Scouts honor!" he said giving Inuyasha a salute. "Ha! Like you're a scout." said Inuyasha looking at a grinning Miroku.

The next day Sango was back and fully recovered from her cold. "Yah! Now we can go to the fair together! I'm so glad you are feeling better my dear." Miroku said to sango before receiving a large bump on his head "Hentai! Remove your hand from my ass now!" sango said raising her hand for another swing at his head, he immediately did as he was told. "Hay miroku, for all we know you were the one that gave her that cold." said Kagome teasingly making kissy faces, imitating them from Christmas Eve. Everyone laughed. "Good point Kagome." said Inuyasha. "Hay sango can I ask you a favor?" he asked urgently. "Yah sure what's up?" he motioned for her to follow him. "where are they going?" asked Kagome puzzled. "oh I don't know." said Miroku with a shrug.

"Hay Sango would you do me a big favor?" Inuyasha said with pleading eyes "yah of course. What do ya need me to do?" Sango asked. "Well I need you to keep Miroku out of my way for a couple of hours." he said not wanting to tell her why, afraid that she might tell Kagome. "Yah sure that shouldn't be to hard to do. But why?" she asked curiously "not telling." he said flatly "Oh come on Inuyasha Please!" she said wile giving him puppy eyes he couldn't help but answer to. "Oh fine. But I really wish you would stop using that look against me." he said a little annoyed. "well?" she prompted "I... I want to ask Kagome to go to the fair with me, but you know how Miroku gets always wanting to take control and shit!" he said all this pretty fast so it took a few minuets for it to register in Sango's head. "What?! You want to ask Kagome out?!" she said excitedly "Uh yah! I just said that! weren't you listening?" he asked a little embarrassed from the situation. "promise me you wont tell her!" he said hurriedly "of course I wont who do you think I am? Miroku? oh and sure I will keep him out of the way." she concluded. "thank you!" he said.

When the day finally ended Inuyasha told Sango to keep Miroku out of his way for now. "Aw man! You mean that I cant even watch you make a fool of your self?!" asked Miroku with a pout on his face and trying to give him the puppy eyes, but he wasn't doing to good a job trying to imitate Sango. A low growl emited from Inuyasha's throught and he was clenching his fists. Miroku waved his hands in front of his face in his defense. "Just kidding! Ow! Damn it!" Miroku said as he got a punch from Inuyasha.

"Nice try but NO! Hay Sango he looks kinda like a frog when he dose that doesn't he?" he said looking at a hunched over miroku who was wearing a funny face. "Yah your right he dose!" Sango said with a laugh. "Good luck! Come on Hentai." Sango said grabbing Miroku by the ear and dragging him off around the corner of the hall. You could hear yelps of pain coming from Miroku from all the way down the hall. Inuyasha then went out side to look for Kagome. He found her sitting under a cluster of trees that was surrounded by a few bushes. 'Okay here goes nothing.' he thought taking a deep breath and starting to walk towards her, but he found that he wasn't getting any closer to her.

"Uh...dude...your not moving." "Miroku!" he said turning around to punch the living daylights out of him but he wasn't alone. "Sango! what the hell are you two doing here?" he asked demanding an answer. "Well we just came to watch and to make sure you ask her and not chicken out." Sango said simply. "I cant believe you of all people would be going along with 'That!'" said Inuyasha pointing at Miroku who had innocent look on his face which was very surprising since it was a first. "Actually it was my idea to follow you not his." said Sango "Wha...what! I cant believe this! I supose theirs no changing your mind?" he asked "Nope!" the two spies said in union "fine but stay out of my way!" he said giving once again into Sango's puppy dog pout. The two dived behind a few bushes close by Kagome, who didn't notice the noise because she was listening to her all time favorite Rock band Black Sabith. "hum...hum...hum muh hum hum... Iron Man lives again!!!" Sang Kagome breaking out into a air gitair solo.

Inuyasha smiled 'She looks so cute when she dose that.' he heard snickering from the bushes but chose to ignore it. As he aproched her she looked up. She blushed 'Oh God! did he just see me doing that?!' she thought the blood rising to her cheeks. "Cute air solo." he said with a grin. "So do you play the gitar?" he asked trying to make conversation. Her blush deepend. "sorta... a lil bit." she answered. "I really want to learn to play the drums though. I love the guitar but my heart just doesn't point me in that direction if you know what I mean." she said with emotion running through her veins. "yah I do know what you mean. I was faced with that same thing at one point in time." he said his eyes getting shadowy. They sat there in silence for what felt like forever, Kagome was holding something that was glowing in her hand, and Inuyasha was snaping twigs inbetween his fingers.

Then he heard a wisper come from the bushes "ask her already!" "shut up Miroku! she'll hear us!" whispered Sango. "huh? did you hear something?" asked Kagome looking around. "huh? oh. no I didn't hear anything." lied Inuyasha. "um...Kagome...can I ask you something?" "sute whats up?" He took a deep breath. "I... I...I was just...oh never mind." he stuttered.

"Oh for heavens sake!" "God he's such a Baka!" came the shrill cries from Sango and Miroku who jumped out from behind the bushes running over to Kagome and Inuyasha. "Just ask her already!" shrieked Miroku "I...I can't!" growled Inuyasha. "Ask me what?" "Fine if you wont I'll ask for you!" he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "okay so what Inuyasha has been wanting to ask you for the past week..." Miroku said throwing Inuyasha a stern look. "is that he wants to know if you would like to go to the fair with him." he finished, Inuyasha blushed the color of blood red adverting his eyes.

Kagome just staired wide eyed, her voice for some strange reason wouldn't work. "nod your head already. you know you want to." Sango said smiling, Kagome did as she was told and nodded yes blushing a fire red. "Okay. so now that that's finally over with he'll pick you up at...lets say 6:00 and we'll meet you both there." said Miroku walking away with Sango. He put his arm around her waist, which wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't for his hand a few seconds later. You could hear a slap a yelp of pain and the shrikes of Hentai in the distance. "So...you mean it? you really want to go with me?" he asked unshure. "of course I mean it I...I really like you and I feel I can trust you." she ended with a blush. 'Oh god I said to much' she thought. "So like Miroku said I'll pick you up at 6:00." 'oh hell with it I'll ask her the worst she can say is no.' "um Kagome can I walk you home?" Inuyasha asked adverting his eyes with a slight blush creaping to his cheeks. she nodded with a smile. 'I don't care what everyone says he's really nice and...kawaii.' Kagome thought holding her smile in place.

As they walked towards Kagome's shrine they heard a fimillar yell. "Hay Kagome!" came the voice of Koga from behind them. "Hi Koga." said Kagome rolling her eyes, Inuyasha saw this and tried to surpress a laugh. "Um Kagome can I talk to you?" Koga asked sweetly before turning to Inuyasha. "What's your problem? swallow a bug or something?" he said rudely, for it looked like that was the case, his cheeks were all puffed out mouth clenched and his eyes were starting to water. 'He's to late! and he's gonna look like a total fool! hehehe where's my tape recorder.' Inuyasha thought starting to look around for his mini video camera. 'YES! it has all ten minuets left on it!' he thought with a evil grin.

"oh nothings wrong I just remembered something funny that happened yesterday." he said outloud scratching his head with a smile. "Right.what ever" Koga said slowly looking at Inuyasha as if he was insane. "Um...yah sure. what's up?" said Kagome directing their attention back to her. "can I talk to you alone?" Koga asked wile glancing at Inuyasha. "what ever. hay Inuyasha stay here, I'll be right over their...okay?" she said pointing to a tree a short ways off. Inuyasha nodded griping his cam corder tightly behind his back and feeling around for the record butten. Koga took Kagomes hand and led her twords the tree she had indicated. 'oh this is too good to miss!' he thought turning the camra so that it face Koga and Kagome. "Kagome..." he started taking her hands in his. She looked away twords Inuyasha and noticed the camera. 'oh sweet! lets give him something to watch.' she thought with a evil grin. Inuyasha saw this and questioned her in a suggestive way she nodded slightly turning back twords Koga. "Kagome I wanted to ask you if you would give me the honor of attending the fair with me?" he asked.

She started to move forward startling him as she neared him he took a step back and she kept coming. He started to panic and took a few more steps back and stepped on something.
(A/N: I know this wouldn't really happen in real life but hay this is a story so go with it!)
It was a little acorn, they heard squeeking down by their feet and looked down. It was a squirrel ...no not just one squirrel, four at the least, all staring up at them with lil evil eyes. One was trying to get the acorn out from under Koga's foot, he bent down and picked up the acorn. He looked at it, then looked down at the lil squirrels, and laughed tossing the small acorn up and down taunting them. They all stared at him and then one squeaked and ran up his pant leg. "EEEK!" he yelled waving his leg around tying to shake it out, and in the process of this he acidentially stepped on one of their tails, and aperiantly they all took this as a act of attack and ran up the tree. They then jumped down on top of him biting his ears and scampering to the acorn that he still held in his hand.

He yelled out in pain and surprise. "Ow!!!!! Get off you crazy rats!!!!" he yelled and started to run down the street. Kagome laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes yelled out to him "Oh and to answer your question I'm really sorry but I'm already going with someone else." she said dubbling over laughing at the sight of the boy running away from a pack of crazed squirrels that were chasing after him. She turned around to walk back to Inuyasha who was laughing harder then she was. "HAHAHA!!! that was priceless!!" he said "were you planning on that?" he asked through fits of laughter. "No! acutially I was planning to have him trip over that raised root and land in the mud puddle that was behind it, but this was even better!" she said wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. "So do you think we should turn it into Tokyo's Funniest home videos?" he asked "Hell Yah!" she answered as they started to walk twords her shrine again. "hay you have to give me a copy of that tape!" "Don't worry I will and I'll give one to Sango and Miroku too. Huh do you think that we should secretly sell some at school for a couple of extra bucks?" he asked "nah! I think that putting it on Tokyo's Funneist home videos and announcing it over the intercome at school would be much better." she said with a evil grin "much better!" he said in agreement.

They reached Kagome's shrine about a hour later and bid each other good bye. When Inuyasha got around the street corner Miroku poped out in frount of him grinning. "so you walked her home and lets see..." he said looking at his watch "It only took you two, two hours to get here...spill!" he said expectantly.

"Yah I walked her home. Is that a crime?" Inuyasha asked "No but according to Sango me walking her home is." he said with a shrug. "Well Duh! what do yah expect? Always groping her ass like that. Really." Inuyasha said throwing his hands up and rolling his eyes.
