Chapter 4: The Cherry Blossom Tree and Kagome's Beautiful Voice
As Inuyasha and Kagome approached the tree house they heard loud arguing coming from inside. Inuyasha jumped up on the porch still holding Kagome's hand. He opened up the door and the house was a mess. Then they saw Sango chasing Miroku angrily. Sango stopped running and noticed Kagome and Inuyasha were dripping wet and Kagome was wearing his kimono and they were holding hands. She and Miroku just smirked. Kagome and Inuyasha just looked at them. "What were you two doing?" Miroku finally said still smirking. "We uhhh, went for a swim at the lagoon." Kagome said while squeezing the water out of her shirt. "Is that all, come on you two, all the details!" Miroku complained. Inuyasha punched him in the side of his head and hissed "What is it to you anyways." Miroku smirked then said "So you two have been doing more than what you said!" Kagome hit him in the back of his head then said "Nobody asked you to say anything anyways, we didn't ask you what you were doing here with Sango, now did we?" Inuyasha smiled then said "That's the way to tell him!" Sango came behind Miroku then pulled his ear and dragged him to the couch then said "You need a time out Mister!" "But-" he said but then was cut off when Sango said "No buts Mister, now sit here until I feel like telling you to leave...I AM watching you!" "You want to go get dressed, your outfit is dry and clean now and is lying on my bed." Sango said then smiled. "Thanks." Kagome said while going up the stairs. Inuyasha just looked at himself and said "I will be right back." He went up the stairs to change. Kagome got undressed and hung her wet clothes on the line. She put on her skirt and was about to put on her shirt when she heard the door open behind her. She thought it was Sango so she turned around. Inuyasha stood in the doorway and just looked at her as if he she was going to kill him. She screamed and put her shirt in front of her chest and yelled "SIT BOY!" His face came crashing to the ground and she closed the door on him. She put her shirt on quickly and sat down on the bed and started brushing out her hair. She then heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. It was Sango and she came in and closed the door behind her. "Inuyasha needs to learn how to knock!" Kagome said grumpily. "Kagome?" Sango said and then sat down on the bed. Kagome joined her and said "What?" "I'm sorry, I was being an ass and I know it, I am so sorry for what I said earlier...." "It's ok Sango, really, I understand how you feel, it happened to me TWICE already...." Kagome said and then sighed. Sango didn't say anything. "It is so embarrassing, Inuyasha even said we deserve our privacy...it seems like he wants to annoy us." Kagome said after a little while and sighed. What Kagome didn't know was that Inuyasha could hear the whole conversation from his room and it made him feel real bad because of what happened at the lagoon. "I thought she liked me...after the thing at the lagoon..." he thought to himself then went back into his room. "Hey." Sango said all of the sudden. "Huh?" Kagome looked up from brushing her hair. "I know how we can solve this." "How?" "We could have a picnic...it is such a beautiful day and I know just the right place, but it is a secret." Sango said with a smirk on her face. "Ok, want me to tell the guys to get ready?" Kagome asked about to leave the room. "Yeah." "Ok." Kagome said then left the room and closed the door behind her.
Kagome told Miroku to get ready then came back upstairs and stood in front of Inuyasha's door. "I wonder if Inuyasha is mad at me...." Kagome thought to herself. She held her breath and knocked on the door. Inuyasha answered it and she said "May I come in?" He opened up the door wider so she could go through but didn't say anything. He closed the door and sat down on his bed. Kagome joined him. "Are you mad at me, Inuyasha?" Kagome finally asked looking up at him. He still didn't say anything. "Well...I am sorry, but me and Sango have a surprise for you and Miroku, you can come if you want to, just get ready and meet us outside." She said then got up and left and closed the door behind her.
She met Sango downstairs and Miroku was already waiting outside. "Let's hurry up and pack this food!" Kagome said with a smile on her face. "Ok...." Sango said while making sandwiches.
****
After about 15 minutes they were done. "Alright let's check off what we have." Kagome whispered then said "Four sandwiches." "Check." "Four cans of pop." "Check." "Two bags of potato chips." "Check." "One Frisbee." "A Frisbee?" "Yeah, I plan to have a little fun." "Ok, check." "A large blanket." "Check." "Paper plates and napkins." "Check." "Is that all?" "Yup." "Ok, let's go." Kagome and Sango stepped outside and climbed down the ladder. Sango noticed Miroku sitting next to a tree sleeping. A vein popped out of her head and she walked over to him and screamed "WAKE UP!" Miroku suddenly woke up and banged his head against the tree and a chestnut from a squirrels nest fell on his head. "GAH...stupid squirrels." he said. Then a whole bunch of chestnuts fell on him and squirrels were chattering angrily at him. He got up with a mean frown on his face. He had a large bump on his head and he rubbed it. "Ouch...." he complained. "Awwww, want me to kiss it to make it feel better?" Sango said with a babyish voice then kissed his head. Miroku got little hearts in his eyes and walked towards Sango then she said with a frown "Don't even think about it!" He shook his head and noticed the basket she was holding. "What is that?" he said pointing at the basket. "It is a basket, DUH!" Sango said. Miroku fell (anime style) then said "I mean, what is in the basket?" "If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, now would it?" she said and started walking of. Miroku just sighed and him and Kagome ran to catch up with her.
Inuyasha was sitting in his room watching them out of the window. He sighed. Once they were out of sight, he quickly raced out of his room and went downstairs. He peeked out of the front to make sure nobody was there. Then he stepped out and locked the door. He then raced from tree to tree until he found Kagome and everybody else. He then quietly and slowly followed them from the tree tops. "I guess Inuyasha decided not to come..." Kagome thought and frowned but the others didn't seem to notice. Finally, they arrived at a large meadow with a little pond and a tree on a hill in the center. "What are we doing here?" Miroku asked looking around. "We are going to have a picnic, it was Sango's brilliant idea!" Kagome said with a smile. Then they all headed towards the hill with the tree. Inuyasha sighed then thought to himself "How am I going to get to that stupid tree without them noticing me?" He then jumped out of the tree and ran as fast as he could until he was behind the hill. Everybody climbed the hill and Sango took the blanket from the basket and lied it out on the ground and sat down on it. Miroku and Kagome joined her. Inuyasha quietly jumped into the tree above them. "This is the Cherry-Blossom Tree!" Sango said with a smile. Then a petal from one of the flowers fell down in Kagome's lap. Sango started to lay out all of the food. Miroku waited impatiently. Then they all ate with happy faces. "Pwerfwect swandwichwes (perfect sandwiches)!" Miroku said with his mouth full. Kagome and Sango rolled their eyes and continued. Everybody was done. "We have extra food..." Sango said packing it up. "It was Inuyasha's, but I guess he decided not to come." Kagome said with a frown. Sango and Miroku ran off playing Frisbee. "You want to join us?" Miroku yelled to Kagome. "I will later!" she yelled back. Kagome started to hum the song Fukai Mori (Deep Forest) then started to sing it as she packed away the rest of the food.
*I'm sure that the heart I left behind
still lies hidden in the heart of the deep, deep forest.
Exhausted, without the strength to search
people vanish into the infinite darkness.
If it's so small, I wonder if I can see it even now?
* As we live on,
we lose a little bit more.
Shrouded in falsehoods and lies,
we stand frozen to the spot, unable to cry out
The days pass by and change,
without us even realizing how blue the sky really is.
Overcoming that made-up scheme, we live the present,
and our rusted hearts begin to beat again!
If we can find the rhythm of time, we can fly once again [1]
We live our lives
wandering to the ends of the earth.
Believing (in you?), now I begin my journey with you,
in search of the light.
(* Repeat)
(* Repeat)
We live our lives
wandering to the ends of the earth.
Closing off
the way back,
we walk on for eternity.
We live our lives standing frozen to the spot,
unable to cry out, for eternity...

She sighed then heard a voice "You have a beautiful singing voice." Then she looked up and saw Inuyasha, who was sitting in a tree. She blushed then said "You really think so?" "Yeah!" he said then jumped down and grabbed his sandwich out of the basket quickly. "Hey, Inuyasha is here!" Miroku said from playing Frisbee. Him and Sango ran over towards them. Inuyasha stuffed his face with food and washed it down with pop. Everybody just stared at him and he said "What!?" He packed away the rest of the stuff and the blanket and they ran to the field and played Frisbee.
While they were playing, Miroku ran to catch the Frisbee and he tripped and fell in the pond. Everybody laughed and then Sango went over to him and held out a hand and said still laughing "Do you need **hahahaha** help getting up?" "Yeah, I do!" Miroku said and grabbed her hand and pulled her in with him. He laughed and she did too. They both just swam for a while. Inuyasha and Kagome walked back to the hill and sat down. "I can tell they like each other." Kagome said then giggled. "Yeah..." he said looking at her then blushed. Kagome looked at him weird and blushed too, but she didn't know why. Inuyasha looked into her eyes and kissed her gently. "I love you Kagome..." he finally said still looking into her eyes. Kagome was stunned at first but managed to say "I love you too, Inuyasha." Inuyasha lied down in the soft grass and pulled Kagome over him and they kissed deeply.
