I'm sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I've just been soooo stumped on what to write about. But I'll try to do something new!
---Chapter 21: Setting Them Up---

Kagome got to school and searched for Sango before the bell rang. She caught her in the hallway and spoke, "I have to talk to you at athletics today!"
"Wha-" But before it all got out, Kagome had raced off to her first period, leaving a confused Sango behind her. Without warning, Miroku came up and gave one of his charming smiles on his way to class, almost causing Sango to be late to class, since she fell into a daze.

Their third class came along after too long, leading all of them to athletics. Inuyasha and Miroku were talking to Sango and Kagome, until they separated to go into separate locker rooms. They all began changing into shorts and t-shirts and tennis shoes and so on. Hojo argued with Inuyasha before leaving to go to the gym, and Miroku left quickly, hoping to get a peek into the girls locker rooms before heading to the gym.
The girls were talking amongst each other and Kagome noticed that Kikyo person there too. Was she going to this high school now? She brushed it off and walked with Rin and Sango to class. Every year, when its just right to be outside in fall, they all got to play tennis. Which was good, cause Kagome was the master of tennis. But there was always Hojo and Inuyasha, who beat out everybody. So they always played each other, arguing and dissing each other the whole game. Sango was about to ask Kagome to play, but Miroku dragged her off and saying, "Dear Sango, I would like to test my skill on you again"
"But you did that yesterday!"
"Exactly" This caused Sango to blush profusely.
Kagome played against Rin for awhile, thinking about how to talk Sango into spending more time with Miroku. She was going to put those two together if it killed her! Rin noticed Kagome's thoughtful expression and stopped playing to ask her about it. Kagome explained and Rin became just as evil minded. "Well getting them alone will lead to Miroku getting brave and then Sango will admit she's in love with the guy, and before you know it, you'll be seeing a new couple in town!"
"But how do we get them alone? The movies worked once, but it didn't get them together..."
"Maybe Inuyasha can help."
Kagome almost laughed, "He's not one for putting people in the right atmosphere."
Rin nodded and began thinking up other ways to put their plan into action. Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Hojo were practically screaming at each other on the courts. You could have sworn the tennis ball was catching fire from all the pounding it was getting.
"Just give up already!"
"Not when I'm beating the hell out of you!"
"Then GIVE UP!"
"Why I otta---"
Suddenly a loud whistle was blown, "Alright class! That's enough for today! Go change and head to your next period!" The coach clapped her hands together once and waited for the group to leave.

Kikyo smirked on her way to class. She had enrolled to this high school, and was about to have the rest of the day with Inuyasha in her class. This was perfect. She sat down, after glancing at Inuyasha, who almost fainted from seeing her there. Since when was she here?!
Kagome and Rin were in this class with them too, so they were also thinking different things about Kikyo. Rin was curious as to who she was, and Kagome was having slightly angry thoughts about her. I mean, afterall, she came onto Inuyasha yesterday! Inuyasha was her boyfriend now and nobody was going to change that! Inuyasha was just confused like no other. Since it was the middle of the day and Kikyo had been at school all day, there was no introduction of any sort. Class began like usual, and ended for lunch like usual too.
When the bell rang, signaling the end of class, and the start of lunch, students flooded out the doors and into the cafeteria and outside on the benches. Kagome and Inuyasha told Rin about Kikyo, and met up with Sango and Miroku in the lunchroom. After getting lunch and sitting outside under a nice tree, Kagome and Rin dragged Miroku to the other side of the table and spoke so Sango couldn't hear. Inuyasha could though, with his sensitive ears concealed by the green cap he wore. And this is what he heard.
"Miroku, you have to ask Sango out on a date."
Miroku sighed, "You think I haven't tried?"
Kagome spoke up, "Without groping her or being perverted?"
"You made your point..."
"Thought so. Now then, ask her out for tonight, we'll take care of the rest." Rin reassured him.
The three returned to their lunches and two friends. Sango asked what it was about, but all refused to answer her. Inuyasha simply gave Kagome a look, saying he knew, but was nice and told Sango nothing.

School eventually ended and Rin took off, saying she had "things to do". Kagome and Inuyasha said they should help Rin out and left too. Miroku pretty much guessed they wanted him to ask her now, but Sango however was left confused for the second time that day. She looked over at Miroku, who in turn looked off into some trees. He was normally fine around her, but he never had anything planned to do to her...it usually just happened. This time he was planning on asking her out on a date and there was nervousness running through him. (aww how sweet!)
"Um, Sango?"
"Yes?" She looked over at him again, curiousity filling her brown orbs.
He rubbed the back of his neck in the nervousness and looked off again, "Can I...ask you something?"
"Well you just did, but go ahead and ask again." She smiled, oblivious to his battling nerves. To her, they were just chatting, she had no idea what was about to come from his lips.
"Would you consider...going out on a date with me sometime tonight?"
Sango's face changed drastically to a flushed and surprised gaze directed to the sidewalk. Miroku attempted to glance at her, but was afraid of getting slapped, so he continued looking ahead.
She finally looked up and in his direction, "Yes..."
"Oh ok, you don't have to I mean---did you say yes?" He looked down at her, shock written all over his face.
"Mhm"
He smiled and hugged her before running off in the direction of his house, yelling back something about picking her up at 7.
