Chp 3-The challenge and a mistake?

Sango bent over to pick up the wooden ball. She smiled and tossed it over to the children playing.

"Thank you!" They shouted in unison. Sango's thoughts subconsciously drifted back to her brother.

Flashback

"Sango! Over here!" Kohaku shouted. "Throw it to me!"

Sango picked up the wooden ball which was decorated in a nice deep blue with silver borders. A birthday gift from her late mother. Sango threw the ball as gently as possible towards Kohaku.

"I caught it! I caught it!" Kohaku beamed proudly at her and she beamed right back.

Sango motioned for her brother to throw it back and when he did, he missed her by a meter.

"I can never throw it," Kohaku sulked. "How am I ever going to slay a demon if I cant even throw a ball?"

"Kohaku," Sango said lovingly. "You will get better. Look, you caught the ball today! Yesterday you couldn't, today you did. That means your practice is making you stronger and into a better demon slayer every passing minute. Soon enough you will be able to not only throw a weapon but to slay more than one demon at a time."

"But when will that time come?" Kohaku asked impatiently.

"Soon, it will come soon. But until then you must practice. Practice and never give up okay?"

"I will!" He roared out. "I will be the best demon slayer in the world… after you and dad that is."

Sango laughed and hugged her brother.

End of flashback

Sango stared half-heartedly at the children. It was at times like this that she missed her brother the most and the rage to kill Naraku was at its greatest. He will pay for all the inhumane acts of cruelty he has done to gain power. He will— her thoughts were interrupted by a very sensual feeling on her butt.

"Miroku!" She yelled, slapping him on the face. This became a ritual between the two- actually between Miroku and anything with breasts. "Is it worth a slap in the face to touch me?" Sango asked actually confused by his act of stupidity.

"You bet, every single slap."

A slight blush crept up Sango's cheeks. She turned quickly to hide her face.

Miroku who misunderstood, thought she was mad at him. "I'm sorry Sango. I don't mean to do it, really. It's just that sometimes my manly urges get the better of me."

Manly urges? That was a new one.

"If I could just find a way to control my wandering hands I guarantee you wouldn't find me quite as repulsive."

Sango tried hard to contain the smile that happened to somehow appear on her face.

"I have an idea she." She said.

Miroku looked up, surprised.

"If you can keep your hands of me—actually any girl for the next month, I'll date you."

Miroku's staff dropped to the ground. He actually blushed before bending over to pick up the staff.

"What happens if I- you know- break the rules?"

"Then not only will I not date you but I will make sure you cannot say 'will you bear my child' to another woman!"

Miroku stared at her in shock as Sango realized what she had just said.

That wasn't supposed to be voiced out loud! He probably thinks I'm crazy now.

Sango laughed nervously and smiled. "Just kidding," she mumbled before picking up her boomerang and bolting.

Miroku stared after Sango. He was still a little light headed from her comment. Did she mean that or was she just joking? He looked down at his hands and decided to accept Sango's challenge. I shall never touch another woman he vowed. Well… for a month. I shall keep this as a sacred moment. The day Sango showed affection for me. I will do what she asks and keep my half of the challenge. Then Sango will bear my children!

Miroku looked up. He sensed Inuyasha before actually seeing him. He sensed another presence, surrounded by sorrow.

"Where's Kaede?" Inuyasha barked.

"In her hut, I believe. Who is the child Inuyasha?"

'I don't know but he was attacked by Kagura. He's losing blood fast."

Miroku got up and touched the child's wounds. "He should hold on for a while. I've slowed the rate of the blood to a normal pace. Hurry."

Inuyasha grunted and jumped off with the boy. Something about the boy was off. He wasn't from around this area. His clothing was foreign and his skin darker than the people of this area. But if he isn't from the area, what was he doing in the forest? Miroku pondered a few more moments and headed of in the direction of Kaede's hut. Maybe Kaede would know something.

Kagome started packing her yellow backpack with ramen. Since school was nearing the end and Kagome's exams had been a month early so the results could be ready for grad night, Kagome had more room to pack. She looked at her choices. Hmm, more ramen or…I know, I'll take this "Prom Dresses" catalogue! Sango would sure love to see these.

"Kagome!" Sota called from the living room. "Ayumi, Yuka and Eri are here to see you!"

"Tell them to come upstairs!" Kagome yelled, quickly stuffing her bag in the closet along with the ramen and candy she decided to buy for Shippo.

"Kagome!" Ayumi bellowed entering her room. "We have a problem!"

Kagome looked up at her friends who were staring at her with the most deadly looks a person could give.

"Whatever it was, I didn't do it, I swear!" Kagome said, putting her hand up in a surrendering motion.

"That's exactly it! You DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Eri boomed out.

"I think this might be easier if I knew what was going on guys." Kagome stated.

"Okay. Here's the problem," Yuka started. "Prom is less than a month away and you DON'T have a date!"

"Huh?" Kagome muttered, completely taken off guard.

"We just found out today that Hojo is going with that girl who's been chasing him since seventh grade. What's her name…oh yeah- Nibiki. Apparently he's been trying to reach you but couldn't get you cause you had…diarrhea?"

"ah…hahaha," Kagome laughed nervously and blushed. When I get my hands on jichan…he is more than dead!

"Anyways, back to your dilemma. Kagome, do you realize that your reputation is in jeopardy! You need a date. I mean come on, even Eri has a date already!"

"Hey!" Eri protested.

"As your best friends we have decided to help you!" Ayumi declared.

"How nice." Kagome said sarcastically. Eri pulled out a list from a file and handed it over to Kagome. "And this is…"

"A list of all the guys who don't have a date. At a time like this, we can't afford to be picky."

"I think you should ask Kanji, he's soo nice."

"No I like Hiro better. I think he would look cuter in a tux!" Yuka offered.

"No way, Takajin is waaay cuter than them but I like Kuno, he's…"

Kagome stared at her friends. It was nice really that they cared so much in order to go through all this trouble but she was getting annoyed. "Guys."

"WHAT! You thinkHina would look better with Keisuke? No way!"

"Guys…"

"Keisuke and Saori make the—"

"GUYS!" Kagome screamed. They stopped talking and looked at her. "I appreciate this, really, but I already have a date for prom, so don't worry."

Her friends just stared. "You already have a date?"

"Yeah…" Kagome said casually.

"Who is it?" Eri demanded.

"His name is-um-it's-um…Inuyasha!"

"Inuyasha! Isn't that the—"

"Yeah that him." Kagome cut them of quickly. What the hell did I just do? How am I going to get myself out of this mess! NO WAY will Inuyasha agree to this. Arrgh!

"Yeah…Inuyasha's my date and we're um going together cuz um yeah, that what dates do, they um go together."

They looked at Kagome suspiciously and Kagome knew what was going to come next. The countless hours of question drilling. I have to find a way to get them to leave!

Eri's mouth started to form a word but Kagome cut her off. "Ohhh… I don't feel to well. I think I might be coming down with something new. You guys better leave before you catch whatever I get." Kagome said, literally shoving them out of her room. "I'll talk to you guys later I promise!"

"I swear Kagome, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't show up for prom or grad because of some illness." Yuka said before Kagome shut the door on her face.

"Phew, that was close."

Kagome waited until she was sure she heard them leave the house. She grabbed her yellow bag, shoved in some more ramen, necessities, and her prom dress catalogue. She changed into her school uniform and opened the door slowly; you could never be too sure.

"Sota," she called to him from the front door. "I'm going back. Tell mom and jichan I'll be back soon and tell jichan when I find him, there's a surprise waiting for him. A special one…" Kagome trailed off running out the door.
