Krazie-edge I'm glad you found it so funny and can you really blame Kagome for throwing things at him. What would you do if some guy walked in and stared at you while you bathed?
Someone no problem I enjoyed your opinion.
Mii-chan1 well in desperation and embarrassment you can do many things. If you've ever seen Inuyasha The Movie: Through the Looking Glass Sango shows a perfect example of this. She crushes Miroku with a boulder.
BlueMoonDog well as soon as he can find his voice he'll attempt an apology…when she's fully clothed of course. Thanks for the vote!
Bubblez4ya thanks I though so too!
Clouds of the Sky I know. -Sigh- What is the world coming to when a girl can't take a bath without being stared at? My pity for Kagome and Sango.
Lunar Protector I hope I helped.
Animegurlzrule glad you found it so funny.

Thanks to all my readers and reviewers! Now on with the story…
Inuyasha had been sitting on the roof for hours thinking of how to put his plan into action. He finally got tired of just sitting around and decided the sooner he apologized the sooner he was going to be allowed back into his room.
About an hour ago Inuyasha had tried to go into his room to try and explain himself to Kagome. Much to his annoyance he found that Kagome had locked herself in there and wasn't coming out. She also refused to even give him the courtesy of answering him when he had tried to persuade her to let him in.
He figured she wasn't going to unlock the door for him anytime soon so he spent the rest of his time trying to figure out how to pull off his big apology when she refused to come out of their room. That's when it hit him. She wasn't going to let him in but she would more than likely open the door for Sango. With that decided he went down to the kitchen.
-In the Kitchen-
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were all gathered around the kitchen counter. All concentrating intently on the game at hand, each determined to be victorious. A game that required focus, cunning, wit, luck…
"Got any fives my lovely lady Sango."
"Go fish and I'm not your anything."
That's right they were all sitting around playing Go Fish. After coming out of their hiding places they grew bored and since none of them dared risk leaving the sanctuary of the kitchen they proceeded to try and think of something to keep them occupied.
After an interesting round of truth or dare where Miroku had tried to dare Sango to bear his child, (key word tried. Sango cut him off by twisting his arm and threatening if he finished his sentence he wouldn't be able to have children.), Shippo had started ruffling through the drawers. After a few minuets he managed to find a deck of cards thus the rousing game of Go Fish was born.
"Hah! I win!" Shippo jumped up. After Shippo's victory the other two lost interest in the cards. So Shippo started building a house of cards. Actually by the time Shippo had finished it was more like a castle of cards. He then proceeded to tear down his castle and start playing solitaire. While Shippo was playing solitaire Sango and Miroku were arguing.
"Come on Sango won't you please bear my child?"
"For the last time no!"
Miroku paused for a moment before an idea hit him. "So if I ask again you answer will be yes?"
"NO!"
"Fine."
Sango was taken back by his reply. "Can you repeat that please?"
"I said fine I won't ask you to bear my child anymore. Heck I won't even grope you." Miroku shrugged as if it were no big deal.
Sango looked suspicious, which was to be expected. "You serious? You won't grope me or ask me to bear your child anymore?"
"Sure. Its quite obvious your not going to give in to my charm so I'll just have to try a different tactic."
"Charm my ass." Mumbled Sango
"And a fine ass it is." Miroku piped up.
Then something sank in. Sango looked up at Miroku curiously. "Wait did you say you were going to try something different?"
"Why yes I did from now on I won't stop singing till you at least agree to a date." Miroku said smugly.
Meanwhile Sango was confused. 'How could this be worse? I've heard Miroku sing and he's not a bad singer. That smile on his face…it can't mean anything good.'
Miroku's smile just got bigger at Sango's paranoia and curiosity. He made himself comfortable on the Kitchen floor, took a deep breath, and started singing, "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, Oh I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes…"
Now the first five to ten minuets where fine. Sango had managed to concentrate on something else. After fifteen minuets the song was starting to get to her. Twenty minuets later she was covering her ears trying to block out the sound, 'How can he keep going! Isn't he getting tired yet!'. By now she was resorting to threatening him in the hopes of getting him to shut up.
"MIROKU I SWEAR IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE MY HANDS TO COVER MY EARS I WOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Miroku seemed unfazed by Sango's threat.
A few minuets later Miroku's singing stopped. Only then did Sango uncover her ears and look at him. Turns out he needed a drink of water but as soon as he had finished the glass he resumed his previous activity. "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes…"
And this is when Inuyasha came in.
The sight that greeted Inuyasha was a strange and humorous one, if not slightly disturbing. Shippo was still playing solitaire though, between the times he had started and now, he had started to develop a nervous twitch. Miroku was still sitting contently on the floor with a big grin and singing at the top of his lungs "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves". Then last but not least there was Sango. She still had her hands clamped over her ears but now she was yelling in an attempt to drown out Miroku.
"LA! LA! LA! I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!…Who am I kidding? SHUT UP MIROKU I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT ANY MORE!"
Now Inuyasha was frowning. An angry and annoyed Sango was not what he needed right now. He needed the somewhat normally calm Sango and this was defiantly not she. 'OK Sango's in a bad mood and I want to get on her good side and a quick and easy way to do that is…'
Miroku found that he suddenly wasn't able to sing. Maybe it was because his throat was starting to hurt or it could have been the fact that Inuyasha's hand was currently covering his mouth. Yah it was defiantly the second one.
Sango, noticing the singing stopped, cautiously uncovered her ears. Giving Inuyasha a grateful smile spoke in a normal voice. "Thank you very much Inuyasha but what are you doing down here? Where's Kagome? We heard screaming earlier."
At the last comment Inuyasha had removed his hand from Miroku's mouth and started blushing. "Keh, never mind what happened. I need your guys help again."
This caught Miroku's interest right away. "Inuyasha what happened."
This just made Inuyasha blush even more. "None of your damn business! Now are going to help me out or not!"
"Tsk tsk Inuyasha such language. Of course we'll help but first you have to tell us what happened." Miroku bargained.
Inuyasha was starting to get panicky on top of being embarrassed. He turned to Sango, "I really need your help Sango. And I really don't want to have to explain myself right now."
Sango sensing Inuyasha's discomfort agreed, "I'll help you out anyway I can and don't worry you don't have to say anything in front of the perverted idiot."
"I resent that!"
Inuyasha sighed in relief. He quickly grabbed Sango and started dragging her out of the kitchen while yelling over his shoulder, "And I need you two to make dinner. I don't care what it is as long as it tastes good." With that Inuyasha and Sango disappeared out of the kitchen.
He then continued to drag her until they were in the secluded part of the castle. Once there they entered a room where Inuyasha quickly shut the door behind them.
By the time Sango had regained her senses Inuyasha was already riffling through a closet.
"Okay Inuyasha the pervert and Shippo aren't present so are you going to tell me what's going on?" Inuyasha only looked up for a moment before once again returning to searching through the closet. To this Sango crossed her arms and glared at the back of his head. "Well?"
Inuyasha buried himself deeper into the closet of clothes before he started talking. "I'm going to give Kagome a gift and I have the other two making dinner."
Now Sango was interested. "Okay but what does any of this have to do with me?"
"I need you to talk to Kagome. She won't listen to me so I need you to give her the gifts and make sure she comes down to dinner. Will you do that?" Inuyasha replied.
"Yah but what did you do?" the glare that Inuyasha gave her after she said that immediately sparked interest. "Don't you glare a me like that! You shouldn't upset the only person who can save you. Now I need to know what's going on. I can't very well convince Kagome to do something she doesn't want to unless I know what's upsetting her right?"
Inuyasha said something but so many clothes covered him that Sango couldn't understand a word he said.
Sango reached down and grabbed one of his ears. Then pulled him out of the closet. "Repeat that please."
Now Inuyasha mumbled something incoherent.
Sango pulled at one of his ears. "Repeat and louder."
"I sort of accidentally walked in on her while she was bathing." Sango defiantly heard him that time.
In fact in her moment of shock she let go of Inuyasha's ear. He saw his chance to escape and did. He finally found the dress he was looking for and proceeded over to the dresser. When Sango recovered he was riffling through a jewelry box.
Sango sighed. "Well at least you have the decency to look away I mean Miroku would have just stood there and stared." Inuyasha's body stiffening did not go unnoticed by Sango. "You did look away right?"
The blush evident on Inuyasha's face was enough of an answer.
Sango buried her face into her hands and groaned. After a few minuets she started talking (more like ranting Inuyasha had anything to say about it.) "I can't believe you! What is wrong with the men of the world today? Is it too much of a girl to expect that she won't be groped while walking down a hallway or stared at while she's bathing? Well! Is it!"
"Hey it's not my fault ok?" Inuyasha tried to defend himself.
"Sure it's not," Was Sango's sarcastic response. "I'm sure Kagome invited you to watch her bath. Is that what happened? Or maybe some 'ominous' and otherworldly force seized control of your body and made you suffer by staring at a naked Kagome. So tell me Inuyasha which on was it? Did she invite you or were you possessed?"
All Inuyasha had to say to that was, "Shut up."
"Don't you dare tell me to- hey get back here! Where do you think your going?" Sango followed Inuyasha.
"To see Kagome remember? Now I need you to get Kagome to come downstairs and I also want you to give her these." Inuyasha handed over the dress and a necklace.
Sango gasped. She never got a good look at what he had taken out of the closet and jewelry box. Now she was shell socked at what she saw. The dress was a beautiful navy blue with long sleeves cut at an angel. It went all the way down to her ankles and from the middle of the waist to the bottom of the dress was split reveling a cream colored fabric with roses stitched into it. The sleeves, neckline, and edges of the slit where trimmed with gold. Then there was the necklace. It was simple yet elegant. A thin gold chain with an amber gem in the shape of a teardrop, on both sides of that was a ruby then a sapphire.
Even though they where in front of Kagome's room Sango was still in awe. She finally managed to be able to form a sentence. "Whom did these belong to? They're gorgeous."
"They were my mother's," Was all Inuyasha said before he left to check on Miroku and Shippo.
