Zeldagiri191: Of course I know Arigatou is thank you in Japanese. Most people are pushing for a sequel, and that pleases me so! I'm glad you like that chapter. I thought it wasn't too great.

Kouga's #1 Fan: Of course I'm a guy! I am insulted. You are hereby stripped of your rank as my #1 fan! No, I'm not that mean. But mistake me for a girl again and I will resume taking the bricks from your house one by one.

Monkeyfeet180: Addicted eh? That's one of their better songs, but I also like the Christmas time song. I'm glad you like it so much, and I value your opinion. You'll notice I changed the title for Untitled. I hope you enjoy it, even though it's Miroku/Kagome.

Openearthmagic: Glad to hear it.

Sangos-gal: I wouldn't end it there! That would be utterly despicable! I may be an ass, but even I have my limits.

Moonyme: This soon enough for you? I tried to do my best and still get it up quick. I was having some trouble with deciding how Kagome should've taken the news.

Kasai to Kasumi: Glad to make you happy! I have gotten numerous votes for the sequel so it looks like that's what I'll be doing.

Pointy Objects: Glad you like it. Yeah I tried to make Yuka seem like a cool chick, considering she's the friend of Kagome's that thinks she should stick with Inuyasha in the show. I think she's the right one? Anyway doesn't matter, she's stuck there now.

Cherimai: Read to find out how Kagome takes it!

Midnight Faerie: Angry readers don't got anything on me. I update when it's convenient for me, not them. I know I should explain if I have writers block, but I don't want to upset readers who think "Ooh, a new chapter!" just to find it's an authors note. I hate it when that happens.

Muffins McKenzie: Sango isn't that evil. She was the one who said if she wanted him she could have him!

Chapter 38: To MakeThings Right

"Kagome, I was nothing when I met you, and without you I am even less. Without you in my life, my reasons for living are few and pitiful. I know that loving me isn't easy, but somebody's got to do it." Inuyasha recited.

"Perfect!" Yuka cried. "I'm surprised you were able to memorize that so quickly."

"Do I really need to say all that? It's all so pathetic!" Inuyasha complained.

"If you want Kagome back, you will say exactly that, everything I told you." Yuka commanded. "You gotta say all that if you want to make things right."

"It makes me sound whipped."

"What's worth more to you? Your pride or Kagome?"

"I get it, I get it. I just wish I could be more dignified about it." Inuyasha explained.

"Trust me." Yuka promised, "The result will be totally worth it."

"You better be right." Inuyasha warned.

"Don't worry. I understand the mind of a woman." Yuka assured him.

"Duh. I could've told you that."

"You ready Miroku?" Sango asked.

"No!"

Sango rolled her eyes. "Look Miroku, I'm nervous too, but we have to tell her. You can't have us both if that's what you're thinking." Sango scolded him.

"It's not! I was just thinking we could make it as obvious as possible that we're back together until she notices." Miroku said very loudly, making it increasingly clear how nervous he was.

"You know that would be cheating. You don't want to smudge your perfect record do you?" Sango tried for motivation.

"Anything that gets me out of having to tell her face to face!" Miroku declared, still needing to get his volume under control.

"Then are you reconsidering your decision?" Sango inquired.

"No it's just…uh…" Apparently, Miroku couldn't think of a good enough excuse to get out of telling Kagome. "Fine, lets just get this over with." Sango knocked on Kagome's door and gasped Miroku's wrist incase he tried to make a speedy getaway. Kagome appeared at the door.

"Hey Sango. Hi Miroku." she greeted, giving Miroku a welcoming kiss. "How are you?" Sango balled her right hand into a fist but checked herself and remembered she needed to keep her temper under control if they were going to get this done.

"H-hey Kagome." Miroku stuttered back.

"Miroku and I have something very important to tell you." Sango continued for him, knowing Miroku wasn't going to be able to get much out.

"Sure. What's up?" Kagome asked. Miroku decided this part was his job, no matter how much he wished it weren't.

"Kagome you remember how a while ago I told you that Sango wanted to get back together? Well, last night I decided that I really did want to be with her too." Miroku explained, trying to break the news as softly as possible.

After a few seconds of silence Kagome spoke. "I see."

"I'm sorry." Miroku apologized.

"So am I." Sango added.

"Don't be." Kagome said. "If you two still love each other after all you've been through, you must really be meant to be. I can't be mad at either of you for being in love."

Miroku caught Kagome in a bear hug and lifted her about three decimeters (a foot twelve inches U.S.) off the ground. "You're the best. I thought you'd be angry."

"Nah. I can't be too angry at either of you. You are my best friends after all. And I can see where you are coming from. I'd probably do the same in either of your positions." Kagome admitted. "Feel like letting me down now?"

"Oh, right." Miroku acknowledged, setting Kagome down. "I must've got a little caught up in the moment there." Miroku rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

Sango joined the conversation with gratitude. "Thanks for understanding Kagome. I'm pretty sure you can hook someone better than this pervert anyway."

"Hey! I resent that!" Miroku replied.

"Your right." Kagome agreed. "I probably could."

"Excuse you! Could you please quit talking about me as if I'm not here?"

"Yeah. We could. But we won't." Sango answered him.

Miroku feigned a pout. "I'm going home." he announced. Sango followed.

"Sorry to cut our chat short Kags, but it looks as if Miroku needs some cheering up." she said.

"I hear you. Have fun you two!"

"No worries there." Sango assured her with a wink. Mere minutes after Sango and Miroku left, there was another knock at Kagome's door.

"Aren't I Miss popular today?" Kagome said silently to herself as she rose to answer the door. There stood Inuyasha, who was looking as disgruntled as ever, knowing he was about to make a complete fool of himself. "Hello Inuyasha." Kagome greeted him. "Why are you here? You know it's usually considered good manners to inform someone you're coming over before you carry out the action. Of course I suppose you've never been big on etiquette. What's new?"

"I have to talk to you about something." Inuyasha said. "Something very important.

"Well, here I am. Go ahead and speak." Kagome advised, letting him in.

"Look Kagome, I know that I've been as ass in the past, and I know that you're with Miroku now, but I have to humbly ask for another chance. I was nothing when I met you, and without you I am even less. Without you in my life, my reasons for living are few and pitiful. And I know that loving me isn't easy, but somebody's got to do it." Inuyasha recited, nailing the speech word for word.

Kagome smiled. "You can forget the script Inuyasha. Of course I'll give you another chance." she said, wrapping her arms around his middle. "And your timing couldn't be more perfect. Miroku and I broke up earlier. But don't worry. That's not the only reason I'm taking you back."

"I know." Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her. He had never tasted anything better in his entire life. One other thought aside from Kagome found its way into Inuyasha's mind. "I can't wait to tell Koga about this."

A/N: Wow. Bare 1,000 word minimum, not including author's notes or review responses. So how you like? All the couples are now in equilibrium! I only have one or two chapters left, so don't forget to cast your vote for or against the sequel.
