Sorry for the delay everyone! I went to Scotland on vacation. But now I'm back!

I haven't been getting many reviews anyways, so I doubt many people noticed my absence...oh well

Also, I couldn't think of what to do in the beginning of the chapter...it was so hard to write after being gone so long!

---Chapter 18: Perfect---

-

Kagome sat in her room, doing some much needed studying for a test coming up. The phone rang and she got up to answer it, since her family was out for the night.

"Hello?"

"Kagome?"

"Oh hi Sango. How's everything?"

"Just fine. Miroku's been flattering me more than ever now that we're together"

"And how's that been?"

"Great, but a bit corny!"

Kagome smiled. Her best friend finally got with the guy Kagome had known Sango liked from the beginning. She laughed into the phone, trying to focus on the matter at hand, "What's that noise Sango?"

"He's here right now, and my last comment got him riled up."

Miroku's voice was heard in the background, "I am not corny, dear Sango!"

Kagome laughed again. "Kagome, I should go. I'll talk to you once Miroku comes to his senses."

"Sango, I'm not corny!! Take that back!"

With that, the phone hung up, leaving a silence echoing through Kagome's bedroom. She sighed and set the phone down. She just couldn't focus on her books today. She needed something fun to do. She left the house and headed towards Rin's house. She knocked on the door, and in minutes, Rin had opened it.

-

"Kagome! I wasn't expecting anyone over today! Come on in" Rin spoke in surprise and let her friend in. They made their way to Rin's room, stopping in the kitchen to get some drinks. Once they were settled in, Kagome spoke up, "I was really bored at him, and figured I would come over and chat for awhile"

Inuyasha was sitting in the kitchen when Sesshoumaru walked in. Inuyasha smirked and got an idea, "So how's my older brother?"

"What do you want?"

"Do I have to want something just because I ask you how you're doing?"

"Yes"

"Fine. Have it your way. I was wonderin if you and Rin have been having fun together"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well she gets lost so much in this house, you two must've become good friends by now"

"I do not know what you are talking about, brother"

Inuyasha stood up and smirked again, walking past Sesshoumaru, "Whatever, bro"

"Miroku! Would you quit that?"

"Quit what?"

Sango pushed Miroku away, gripping her sides. After refusing to take back the 'corny' comment, Miroku decided to punish her by tickling her to death. This went on for half an hour, before Sango ran out of breath and stopped the torturing. Miroku looked down at her innocently and she could've sworn she saw a halo around his head. She sat up and straightened her pink shirt before turning to her boyfriend, "I never said I didn't like your corniness. You shouldn't take things so seriously"

Miroku grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close, "But when you say it, I always take it seriously, Sango"

She shivered as his breath tickled her ear and sighed, "You know I don't mean it"

Miroku smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder and they sat in a comfortable silence just like that.

Kagome walked down the street, and passed Inuyasha's house. She shrugged and knocked on the door, having nothing better to do, and she hadn't seen Inuyasha since school. Their maid, whom if I haven't already named in this story, I now name Suni.(Soo nee) She knew Kagome by now, and let her in. She then returned to cleaning the carpet in the hallway. Kagome made her way up the stairs and saw Inuyasha smiling with his door open. She stepped in and rose an eyebrow, "And what's making you so happy?"

Inuyasha had noticed her scent not long ago, but wasn't thinking she was actually there, so he jumped up on his bed and looked at her, "Kagome?"

Kagome smiled and walked over to Inuyasha, sitting on the edge of his bed, "Didn't think I could surprise you"

"I didn't either...what are you doing here?"

"Just thought I'd drop by. So, what's got you all cheery?"

He paused and blinked, "Oh, well I was just messing with my idiot brother about Rin." Kagome tilted her head, but smile and mischief was shining from her brown eyes.

"What'd you do this time?"

Inuyasha stretched his arms over his head and yawned, "I just suggested he liked her. He seemed to get embarrassed, so I think he does"

The girl next to him smiled, "Well that would be perfect. We all know how much Rin talks about him. Then we'd all be with who we wanna be with, right?"

"I know I am" He ran his fingers through her hair and she smiled. "And I thought Sango said Miroku was the corny one..."

"What do you mean by that?" A small, nonthreatening growl escaping his lips. Kagome sighed happily, ignoring his comment and tickled one of his ears. He attempted to growl about it, but it came out more like a purr, causing Kagome to start laughing again.

"Yes, it would be perfect..." Kagome leaned against Inuyasha and closed her eyes.
