This is a real Miroku/Sango chapter.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter #12

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, blushed, and looked away.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, blushed, and looked away.

They looked at each other, blushed, and looked away.

Inuyasha tripped over Kagome's mop.

Sango and Miroku sighed in unison.

Could those idiots be any more obvious?

"We need to do something," Miroku announced. He reached for an unmentionable part of Sango's...eh-hem...personal anatomy.

Sango swatted his hand away, and then slapped the annoying demon. "Of course we need to do something. The real question is: how?"

They sat in silence, cooing happily when Kagome blushed, groaning together when Inuyasha did something stupid.

As you can imagine, there was quite a lot of groaning.

"What about this ball?" Sango demanded. "What's that like? When is it? Do you think that will work? Do you think Kagome will let me be her bridesmaid? Ya think I'll get to be the godmother of their children? Huh?"

Miroku blinked. "The ball's a huge and fancy occasion, it's in four days, this will work, Kagome'll defiantly let you be her bridesmaid, and you'd obviously also be the godmother of her children."

Sango nodded, satisfied. "Good." She took out a small notebook, scratched down a quick list, and turned back to Miroku. "So we have a plan?"

Miroku blinked again, and scratched his head. "What?"

Rolling her eyes, Sango grabbed Miroku by his demonic ears, handed him the list, and dragged him over to Kagura's room.

Before anything else, Kagome needed a dress.

Miroku looked up admiringly at Sango. "Wow, my love, this is very well done. I applaud you."

"Whatever."

"I think Inuyasha likes a lot of skin to be shown," Miroku added hopefully. "You know, he's more of a let-it-all-hang-out-there kinda guy."

"No."

"But—"

"No." Sango frowned.

Why were all the cute ones so weird?

Item #1: The Dress

Kagura clapped her hands like a happy child. "A dress? For Kagome? Oh, what color?" She grabbed an armful of fabric samples. "Silk would be nice. Maybe a pretty blue...or a fresh green. White would be very innocent, don't you think?" She sighed dreamily. "I'll get right on it. Would you like to see some dress designs?"

Sango nodded happily. "Of course!"

Miroku shook his head in horror. "Dresses?"

Item #2: Insuring No Annoying Guests

"And if any of you ever give Inuyasha so much as a look, I'll rip out your lungs and wrap them around your scrawny little necks!" Sango shrieked at the crowd.

This crowd just so happened to be consisted of every female in the kingdom, with the exception of Kagome.

"Miss Sango, we want Inuyasha and Kagome to be happy," Rin said sincerely.

"Oh, you say that now, but I'm on to you!" Sango bore down on the little girl. "You leave Inuyasha and Kagome to their love, or so help me I'll—"

Miroku, having heard the yelling across the hall, rushed in, and wisely grabbed Sango before the girl could do any bodily harm to the others.

"Sorry about that. She's a bit worked up." And so he dragged her off to the kitchen for a few of Myouga's tranquilizers. "Sango, I swear, I really should have never given you that cup of coffee."

The group of females gave a collective sigh, and went back to their work.

Item #3: The Food

"No, no, no," Miroku shook his head vehemently. "Inuyasha hates seafood."

"But Kagome loves it," Sango argued.

Myouga shrugged helplessly. "I can prepare what you want, but I actually need to know what you want."

"Ya think they'll be happy with two very greasy burgers?"

Sango considered this. Kagome did love McDonald's...

"Yeah, I guess that works. As long as we include a whole lotta chocolate for desert."

"Hey," Miroku perked up. "You know what would be really romantic...?"

Item #4: The Entertainment

"We are NOT hiring strippers, Miroku. This is a sophisticated ball."

"Darn."

Item #5: The After Party

"So," Miroku looked Sesshoumaru in the eye. "You're sure you can get them together? Alone? In a preferably romantic setting?"

"Yes."

"And you're sure you can do this without actually harming Inuyasha?" Miroku asked seriously.

Sesshoumaru looked slightly disappointed, but he nodded. "Yes." He stood and left the stables without another word. Sango and Miroku stared after him.

"You think he's going to do something creepy?"

"Probably." Miroku shrugged. "But he still wants the curse lifted, so he's not going to compromise any of our plans." He frowned. "I think. Ever since I tried dying his hair blond, he's been a little cold."

Sango's eyebrow twitched. "I don't want to know, do I?"

"No, most likely not."

Item #6: Completing the List Without Getting Into Trouble

Shippou frowned at the two matchmakers. "What are you two doing?"

"Lifting the curse."

Sango elbowed Miroku. "Nuthin'."

"Really?" Shippou turned to Miroku. "What are you two doing?"

"Making Inuyasha and Kagome fall in love with each other."
Sango elbowed him again. "Idiot."

"Sorry, Mother of My Children, but I can't keep secrets." Miroku through his arms around her. "Let's kiss and make up!"

Item #7: Manners

Miroku and Sango cautiously entered Inuyasha's room.

"Oh, Inuyasha?" Miroku sang.

"What the hell do you want?" he snarled. "I was sleeping."

Sango shook her head. "We have our work cut out for us."

Yay! Manner lessons for Inuyasha! This should be fun!

If you guys have any suggestions on what Kagome's dress should look like, just send 'em in!

I'm not really the best at thinking up dressy stuff, so suggestions really are welcome.
