Inuyasha heard Kagome's mom come home. He smelled ramen noodles being cooked and he just followed his nose. He stepped into the kitchen and Kagome's mom looked up and smiled at him.
"Hello Inuyasha dear. I figured the smell would wake you up so I made a bowl for you to. It'll be done in a few minuets." Touched by Kagome's mom, Inuyasha nodded and sat down across from Sota.
"Inuyasha the concert was better than ever! Before it started all the lights went out so it was pitch black, then..." Inuyasha listened to Sota's description of the concert nodded his head every once in a while, not really understanding what Sota was talking about.
"How was Kagome after we left?" Kagome's mom interjected while Sota paused to gather more breath to continue talking. Inuyasha looked at her, then looked away.
"Do you want the truth?" He asked her. Kagome's mom sat down the steaming ramen in front of him and sighed softly.
"Oh dear. I'm guessing she took it hard. Money's just been so tight and I didn't even know if she knew or not and I didn't want to buy a ticket if she wasn't going to go..." Kagome's mom broke off looking extremely sad.
"Mom?" Kagome said. She was half asleep and she nearly fell down the stairs. "What's everyone doing?"
"Hello dear just having a midnight snack. Want anything?" Her mom asked.
"Uh sure. How was the concert?" Kagome replied. Sota plunged into the same summery he had given Inuyasha. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Kagome came over and sat next to Inuyasha, resting her head on his shoulder. Kagome's mom sat some noodles in front of them and gave Inuyasha and Kagome a knowing wink. What was that all about? Inuyasha wondered.
"Okay Miroku see that's the whole pourpose of the flower girl." Kagome said pointing at her portable DVD player. Father of the Bride was in and Miroku and Sango were staring, mystified, at the screen. "Now your wedding won't be as fancy as this, but it will be equally beautiful."
"Oh I hope so." Sango said. "I only wish I could find Kohaku so he could be a part of this." Sango continued with a few tears in her eyes. Kagome was about to say something comforting when Sango sat up straight, let out a strangled cry, and slapped Miroku.
"Ow what was that for?" Miroku said rubbing the red hand print on his face.
"As if you didn't know! You pervert!" Sango yelled. Kagome giggled when she realized what happened. Miroku had stroked Sango's ass again.
"Please Sango I was just trying to get your mind off of Kohaku." Sango shot Miroku a glare and then turned to Kagome.
"The wedding is in one week. What all needs to be done again?" Kagome brought out a notebook and opened it to a certain page.
"Alright we need flowers for you, me, Miroku, Inuyasha, Shippo, and Kilala. The day of the wedding I'll bring my CD player so you can have the bridal march, and bubbles."
"Bubbles?" Sango and Miroku asked together.
"Yea you'll see what their used for later." Kagome promised.
"Why do the men have to have flowers?" Miroku asked. Kagome pointed at the DVD player.
"You see the flowers on the men's jacket? It means that their part of the bridal party." Miroku nodded. He then stood up.
" I'm going to go for a walk. See you lovely ladies later." He said. Kagome and Sango looked at each other a bit baffled. Looking at this movie was his idea and now he was leaving. They shrugged and continued to talk about the movie and Sango's upcoming wedding.
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha slammed Kagome's diary shut and jammed it back in her yellow sack, just as Miroku walked into the hut. "What are you doing in here?"
"Feh. As if its any of your business, but I was looking for the potato chips that Kagome claimed she brought, but I'm not finding any." Inuyasha said digging around in her sack, just to prove his point.
"You mean these chips?" Miroku asked dryly holding up a colorful bag with a picture of potato chips on the front.
"Where'd you get that?" Inuyasha demanded.
"They were on the floor where you normally sleep." Miroku answered. Inuyasha grunted, took the bag and started to eat. "I need to talk to you." Miroku said sitting in front of him. Inuyasha looked at Miroku in the face and noticed that his friend looked concerned.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked quietly. Miroku absently took a few potato chips from the bag he was holding much to Inuyasha's dismay. "Well stop stuffing your face and talk to me!" Inuyasha growled snatching the bag from him.
"I...I'm nervous about marrying Sango." Miroku stood up and started to pace in the small hut. "What if getting married completely changes us? Sango was very hard to pursue and what if getting married makes her be okay with my advances? I'm afraid it'll turn me off or something."
Inuyasha was sitting on the ground, his head following Miroku's path in the hut. He finished chewing a chip, swallowed, and asked Miroku, "Shouldn't you ask Kagome about this?"
Miroku stopped in front of Inuyasha and pointed at him and started to yell, "I knew you would say that! Don't you see if I talk to Kagome about this, she'll talk to Sango and that would be very very bad!" Miroku finished waving his arms around as though he was an injured bird trying to take flight.
"And didn't it occur to you that Kagome and I are close now, what I know she knows, and that maybe I would tell Kagome who might tell Sango?" Inuyasha asked grinning evilly.
Miroku stopped pacing again and looked at Inuyasha with narrowed eyes. I know you won't tell Kagome what I told you or I'll tell you what I know you did to her." Inuyasha cocked his head to the side completely baffled. "I saw you take her book out that one night. I know you read it and I know that whatever is in there is very private." Miroku said crossing his arms with disapproval written on his face.
Inuyasha turned pale and the chip he held in his hand crumbled into a thousand pieces. "How did you see me?" He asked, his voice cracked.
"You just made sure Kagome was asleep, you didn't inspect the rest of us like that. Now you'll keep my problems quiet, and I'll keep you act of betrayal under wraps." Miroku said.
Inuyasha glared at Miroku and was thinking about how fast he could kill him and make it look like and accident when Kagome and Sango walked in.
"There you are!" Kagome exclaimed hugging Inuyasha. Inuyasha swallowed self consciously and wrapped his arms around her. He inhaled her wonderful scent and kissed the top of her head fondly. She must never, ever find out! He thought to himself looking over at Miroku. Miroku was currently making out with Sango, but when the took a break, Miroku and Inuyasha's gaze locked. Miroku's eyes were full of disappointment for having to resort to blackmail on Inuyasha and anger that he would do that to Kagome. Inuyasha's gaze was full of contempt for the monk and full of a promise that he Miroku ever spilled to Kagome or Sango, he wouldn't live to see his wedding.
