The Perfect Lie
"Are you serious? What do you want to go back for?" said Inuyasha. They had stopped at Kaede's village for a mandatory rest. Kagome wanted to go back to her world, the future world, so she could see her other friends. But that isn't what she told Inuyasha.
"I just need three days, that's all. I have a big test to study for. If I fail this test, I fail the class. I'm failing enough classes as it is. I'm probably going to have to repeat the ninth grade. If I keep this up, I'll be having classes with Sota." Kagome knew she was good at lying, but she never knew she was this good. She heard her brother say this before and even though it upset her she knew it would make a good argument. Inuyasha sighed in defeat.
"Fine, go back to your world. Just be back in three days." Inuyasha knew if he didn't give in, she might actually stay for good. Miroku stepped forward. "What?"
Miroku cleared his throat. "Since Kagome is going home, maybe I could have some time off. We all have been working hard trying to find the jewel shards. We could all use a break."
Inuyasha started to protest. "What you want to slack off too?"
"Think about it," Sango added. "Since Kagome is going back, there's no use in looking for the jewel. She is the only one that can see it after all."
Inuyasha looked irritated. "Fine, just be back here in three days. If you aren't, I'm leaving you behind." Kagome gave him a cold look and he straightened up. "Leave before I change my mind."
Kagome jumped in the well. 'I can't believe they bought it,' she thought. 'I can finally go home and catch up on some good gossip. Maybe I'll talk to Houjou. Hmm.'There was a flash of purple light and she was gone. Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango all looked down the well. "I hope she does well on her test," said Shippo. Inuyasha just stuck up his nose and walked away. "Where are you going, Inuyasha?"
"I got better things to do then sit here and wait for her. Are you coming, Shippo?" Shippo ran after him, but not before he turned around and said his farewells.
"Bye, Sango. Bye Miroku. Bye Kilala. I'll see you in a couple days." He ran of after Inuyasha. Miroku was waving his hand but stopped at the sight of Sango's cold glare.
"What's wrong?" Miroku asked.
"Don't try anything you'll regret, monk," snapped Sango.
"What could I possibly do that I would regret?" Sango gave him another cold look. If looks could kill, Miroku would be dying a painful death right now. "Ok, I'll keep my hands to myself. Would you like to spend your vacation with me?" Sango thought about this. 'Well, what could it hurt? It'll only be three days. Who knows, maybe he'll act like a gentleman.'
"Alright, I'll go with you. Where to?"
"Lead the way." She smiled and started off, Kilala close at her heels. As soon as he caught up, he put his arm around her. 'Hmm, he can actually put his hand somewhere other than my butt. Maybe he haschanged.'At that thought, his hand accidentally slipped off her shoulder and found, you guessed it, her butt. Reacting as she always does, her hand found the side of his face. "It was an accident, I swear," he remarked as he followed a couple of steps behind. He rubbed the red handprint on his cheek. "That really hurt." Sango just ignored him as they walked into a forest.
Yep, Miroku is still a lecherous pervert. But that's what makes him so great. He's not all that bad. He does really care for Sango as you will see in the next chapter. Keep the reviews coming.
