I am going to reply to all of your reviews too!
Heikiru Kamanachi: Thanks for all of the reviews! Sango and Miroku live with Inuyasha because he decided to make their search for a home easy. I'm sorry but I don't listen to Blaque, Usher or B2K but I do love J-Kwon, Nelly and D-12! I will work more on the spacing! Arigatou!
Rhaminika: I'll try to write more! It just looks so much bigger when I handwrite it! Damn computer (reveals mallet) I'll show you who's the boss! Arigatou for your review!

Now that I have caught up on reviews here is the long awaited chapter, at least by me.
Chapter 5: I am the Highway
"Why have you changed?" Kagome asked Inuyasha. She studied his face as his brows connected in concentration, he was about to say something difficult.
"To be honest, I wanted to try and replace…you. To put you out of my mind. I didn't want to face the fact that I had ignored my feelings for you. I thought you wouldn't accept me after I told you all that." He sighed as he revealed the truth.
"Inuyasha? What the hell gave you the idea that I wouldn't accept you?! I had told you that I LOVED you! That doesn't change in in few days and it wouldn't drive me away from you!" she barked at him, angry at his stupid actions.
"I don't know," Inuyasha's happiness faltered at her angry reaction, "It's probably because you're a stupid wench and you react by yelling at everyone!" Kagome was surprised at his sudden change of character. Silence fell over the two quarrelling adults, Inuyasha then did the unexpected.
He captured Kagome's lips in a soft kiss, but Kagome pulled back, "What the hell is wrong with you? This isn't right!"
"How is it not right Kagome?" his eyes glistened with misunderstanding.
"For two reasons! One, we were just bickering, not being romantic and two, I still have to get used to the new you, Inuyasha! I am not comfortable with my friend being a playboy!" she grinded out.
" Why don't you stay for the party we are having tonight? It'll be fun and you'll get a chance to know the new me. I promise you'll have a good time." He suggested.
"You better keep that promise Inuyasha, I'm going to hold you to it!" she spoke.
"I solemnly swear it Kagome." Inuyasha pleaded.
"Since I don't have any work tomorrow, I guess I'll…stay," She said a little hesitantly, " But if anything goes wrong I'm going back home." A knock sounded at the door.
"Lunch!," Miroku called through the locked entrance.
"What are you, my mom? We'll be down in a second!" Inuyasha growled, "Shall we?" Kagome and Inuyasha got to their feet and proceeded downstairs for lunch. Once they reached the kitchen they were greeted by a starving Miroku.
"It's about time you two got down here! The ramen was starting to get cold!" the hungry monk whined.
"Does Inuyasha still consume three cups in one sitting?" Kagome inquired. Sango, who was at the table nodded and gave Kagome some slightly cold ramen. Inuyasha had already sat down and was almost finished with his first cup of ramen ready to begin his second. The two women shook their heads and started on their own cups of noodles.
"Inuyasha spoke to us about Buyo and your career. How is your job by the way?" Sango interrogated.
"It's interesting because my boss, Hojou, has an obviously big crush on me and is always asking me on dates," she said, Inuyasha growled through his ramen, he had began his second cup, " Other than that it's quite fun, we just merged with a big business owned by Naraku Onigumo, he's a pretty creepy guy. What is your job Sango?"
Sango finished the bite of ramen she had just taken and then spoke, "Well, I teach Self-Defense classes down at the recreation center. It doesn't pay a whole lot but I love it. But I'm going to have to start a new job search to help support Miroku's and my marriage soon."
"MARRIAGE!" Kagome stood up, causing the table to shake thus knocking over Inuyasha's third cup of ramen, into his lap.
"MARY MOTHER OF GOD! IT BURNS! IT BURNSES! I'M GOING TO LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT CHILDREN!" the burnt hanyou sprinted out of the kitchen towards the bathroom.
Miroku talked calmly as if nothing had happened, "Yes Sango andI became enganged 3 weeks ago. I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner Kagome."
"Don't worry. Just stick around here and you'll get a grip on things. You should stay for a party we're having tonight!" Sango insisted.
"I already told bag of bones Inuyasha that I would come. Who's going to be there? Anybody I know?" Kagome asked.
"You'll find out soon enough." Sango grinned as she said these words. A maniacal plan had obviously formulated in her head.
END CHAPTER 5
