You know, I really think that Reviewers rule fan fic dot net. Since no one usually continues with a story if no one reviews (well, me at least. I actually almost gave up on Wind child. Thx everyone), I think that this is kind of a dictatorship, but whatever.
The name of the next story is Finding Love with Hate. I know, it sounds weird, but Loving Incense doesn't?
Disclaimer - KPK is now on a Band Trip. These delays are getting annoying.

CHAPTER 18 - Monday Madness
The next week was rather problematic to Inuyasha. Apart from attempting to keep his sanity, and breakfast, within him, he also had to attempt to get some things all nice and set with the winter dance coming up. He had already decided that that was when he would tell Kagome. That was when he would tell her that he was in love with her, wanted to be with her, never wanted her to be away from him. Along with the plan to give her the heart necklace that he had bought in October then. Christmas was just not soon enough (also, the family only really gave gifts that day, nothing more. You know, considering the Higurashi's live in a Shinto shrine and all)
But, more problems also came up in other matters. Shippou was constantly getting himself into trouble at school by reports from a few children that had been picking on him that he 'threw a blue ball of fire out of no where.' Oh sure, that's not a problem at all. Not to mention Morobuku and Sangarouka celebrated their 20th birthdays (yeah, they're older than the others). That was hell just for the hanyou to get them gifts. And alas, it was Sunday night, and Inuyasha had yet to do his homework. Can we say screwed? (KPK- screwed.)
Now, the hanyou listened to Sangarouka and Morobuku coming in the front door, obviously happy and laughing like no tomorrow. 'Damn,' he thought, closing his geometry book. 'I might as well give up now; they'll make so much noise that I'll never be able to get any work done.'
Without removing the pencil from behind his ear, the dog boy walked over to Sota's door, attempting to open it. Unfortunately, he just heard Kagome, Sango, Sangarouka, and Ms. Higurashi scream giddily, thus knocking him down to the other side of the room. Rather ironic, he made a dent right next to the dent from the recent wave of evil thing.
Rubbing his head, and ears in particular, Inuyasha stalked back to the door and thrust it open. "WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THE SCREAMING ABOUT!" He looked at the scene in the hallway. "Huh? What'd I miss?"
Kagome, Sangarouka, Sango, And Ms. Higurashi were all hugging each other and jumping up and down, with a blushing Morobuku off to the side. Miroku's reincarnation rubbed the back of his head, smiling a little from embarrassment.
"Man, what did you do?" Inuyasha asked, pointing his finger to the giddy girls before them.
"Well... It's that I, err, um...Sanga is, err..."
"C'mon," the hanyou retorted, getting annoyed with the lack of knowledge and the loud laughing. "Spit it out."
"I-"
"HE AND SANGAROUKA ARE ENGAGED!" Kagome cheered.
Inuyasha's mouth dropped wide open. 'You have got to be kidding me.'
Sangarouka's friends let go of their bear hug-like grip on her, letting her not only breath but walk over to Inuyasha. She waved her hand in front of his face, showing him the ring in all of its luster. "It took him forever to ask me, too!" She said happily.
Morobuku continued to blush, and shuffled one of his feet around the other. "You make it sound like I'm apathetic about us..." he said silently. His fiancé jumped over to him, landing squarely in his arms, and surprising the hell out of him.
"I'm just saying that I was worried if it was going to happen, honey." she said, kissing him on the cheek. He smiled a little, and kissed her back on her cheek.
Sango sighed. 'Why can't Miroku and I ever be like that?' She smiled once more and turned around and went up the stairs. Back to Kagome's room, she sighed, and continued working on another piece of music. She found that music was actually a lot of fun to create. Especially when she was depressed. Or frustrated.
Miroku poked his head into the room. "What's going on downstairs?"
"Go see for yourself."
He nodded and headed down the stairs.
Sango rolled her eyes, and continued on her work. 'He's perverted, frustrating, and cute, but he is also clueless about me, isn't he? Why on earth did my heart have to choose him?'
She continued on her work.
Time change
Monday, again. Inuyasha wanted to burn it. He wished that he could just destroy the day 'Monday' from every calendar, address book, everything. Not only was this an evil day as it was, but it was also the day before the play; a play Kagome had yet to find out about. Yet. Oh yeah, and that day was the in class dress rehearsal.
"Inuyasha, I heard that your drama class is performing Romeo and Juliet tomorrow," Kagome began, the both of them heading toward the school doors. "What part do you play?"
Inuyasha instantly tripped over himself and fell flat on his face. Kagome turned around and looked at him. "Uh oh, that's not a good sign."
"What, can't a guy just trip over his shoe!"
Kagome raised an eyebrow, now being surrounded by Miroku, Sango, and Naena. "Well," she began. "Considering that you admit that you tripped is enough of an answer for me."
"Oops."
Naena bent over the hanyou with a questioning look upon his face. "Is this why you've been saying to yourself so much that you want to kill Chiaki?"
Kagome just blew a fuse. She seems to be doing that a lot lately.
"What is her role." Kagome more of commanded then asked Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku decided that this was a good time to stop the miko from going a-wall and purifying Inuyasha until he was dust. Already her miko aura was starting to singe his clothes.
"Kagome, breath in and out, I need you breathing before we talk to you." Sango said, her hands on her friend's shoulders facing her. "I'm breathing perfectly well, thank you."
"Not from where I'm standing, Kagome. Deep breath." Miroku instructed. Kagome took in a big gulp of air, and exhaled. Her aura calmed down a little bit.
"Now, err, um, I know that this is going to be hard to believe..." Inuyasha stuttered, standing up from his spot on the ground. " But it wasn't until after our parts were chosen that I actually figured out anything about Romeo and Juliet..."
"Who has what part." he commanded again, still rather angry.
"Um... Chiaki has Juliet, and Inuyasha has Romeo." Miroku said a little bit quietly. Kagome's mouth dropped open, and her eyes shot straight wide and bug eyed. "W-w-w-ww-w-ww-ww-w-w-ww-w-w-w-"
"Kagome, Kagome... before you have a nervous break down and get a revolver and shoot the drama teacher," Sango exclaimed worryingly to the infuriated girl in front of her. " After Inuyasha was informed about all of this by Miroku, he came to us for help, and we have it all planned out to break up Chiaki's little love fest."
Kagome was only seething.
"Do tell." Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka all said in unison, popping out of nowhere.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Naena was now on the ground, shivering like he was having a spaz attack.
Once Kagome got her senses back within her head, "What do you guys want?"
"Um, Kagome?..." Eri began, looking at the ground and putting one foot behind the other. The miko looked at her for a moment before a look of worry swept over her face. "You didn't."
"I did."
"ERI!" Kagome shouted.
"I'M SORRY, BUT THE HAD A RIGHT TO KNOW!" Eri shouted back.
"There is only one thing we need to prove the story." Ayumi said, holding her index finger up in the air. Quickly taking a look around to make sure no one was looking, she smiled. "Yuka... LET'S GET HIM!"
The two girls lunged onto Inuyasha, knocking him to the ground and they took off his hat. And indeed, there were dog-ears there. "Wow... This really explains a lot..." Yuka said, getting off of the hanyou and looking at Kagome.
"Like with all of those illnesses," Eri continued. "You not wanting to be with Hojo, which I am still grateful that you set us up, by the way."
"Oh, how are you guys doing?" Kagome asked.
"We're doing great on Saturday he-"
"We have a larger issue at hand." Miroku said, putting a hand on the girls' mouth. She instantly slapped him on the face.
Everyone just stared at her, 'cept for Sango, who looked at approvingly.
"I told you what would happen if you lay another finger on me, Miroku." She scorned.
"Anyway," Sango said, stepping in front of them. "This is the plan that we have devised... HUDDLE!"
The six teens and one preteen all got into a huddle type thing, letting Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha explain the plan. The plan, of course that I shall not tell you. What fun would that be?
They all let go, and smiled. "Now," Inuyasha said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Do you all understand your jobs?"
All of them nodded.
"Good. Now, we have tonight to get things in motion. Let Operation SB Commence!"
"You've been watching Bond movies again, haven't you?" Naena asked. He got a good thumping on the head.
Kagome tapped her foot. "I've done real good with not s-i-t-ting you for a while Inuyasha. Don't give me a reason to."
The hanyou scorned in his place, while Naena jumped back up to his feet. "No worries. Happened to me a lot when I was in Nagoya with Hoshido and them."
"Who's Hoshido?" Yuka asked.
"Long story. Now if you'll excuse me." Naena walked into the school.
The others just looked at each other.
"So..." Eri began. "Should the three of us come over to your house today to help out?"
"I'll ask my mom if you guys can spend the night, if that's what it takes." Kagome said. They all once again began walking toward the school, Inuyasha and Kagome bringing up the rear.
"Inuyasha?"
He stayed silent.
The young girl new that he was guilty about the whole dramatic ordeal, sending him into a state of minor melancholy. In truth, Inuyasha really was emotionally fragile. 'It really is easy to see that after you get to know him...' Kagome thought, walking along. She took his hand in hers, making him instantly blush.
"Kagome, what-?"
"I know it was really hard for you to have to keep that from me. Just remember that if something like this happens again, you just have to tell me and explain it, okay?"
"Before or after you explode?"
She smiled a bit. "Preferably before. I've seen my toddler home videos. Not pretty."
Inuyasha was about to remark on this, when Naena came bolting out of the school. "Guys, we have a problem." he exclaimed, clearly exasperated. "I do believe that Chiaki has hit us first."
"What?"
Remember Waroko's and Chiaki's plan?... this is prime evil. I really wish I didn't have to write it. ERG!
Review?...
