AkeryouSesshoumarusMate I think love is too strong of a word…
Bubblez4ya I agree Miroku singing is a funny image.
Krazie-edge is it just me or is Inuyasha getting real good at apologizing?
Mii-chan1 I don't think Kagome cannot forgive him after what he's doing.
Inuyashaandkagomekisses you scare me.
Clouds of the Sky the song works really well too.
Kylria… your welcome I think?
E.S.C…okay.
Samurai Fish I think every girl has that fantasy at least once.

Thanks to all my readers and reviewers! Now on with the story…
-Knock knock-
"Inuyasha go away! I'll come down on my own accord!" Kagome then mumbled to herself. "When the stars shine green in a yellow sky."
-Knock knock-
"Inuyasha-"
But Sango cut her off. "Kagome its Sango! Let me in!" She didn't have long to wait before the door was thrown open and she was dragged inside. Before she knew it Sango was lying on the bed with gifts in hand and Kagome was locking the door.
Once the door was securely locked Kagome sat down next to Sango on the bed. "Why are you up here anyway? Is something wrong downstairs? "
"No nothing's wrong but Inuyasha wants to have dinner with you and that's hard to do when you won't even be in the same room as him." Sango explained.
Kagome immediately went into defensive mode. "Well do you have any idea what he did! He walked in on me when I was bathing! He didn't even bother to look away and I didn't see him right away so who knows how long he was standing there! Whatever happened to common courtesy! Chivalry! Knocking!"
"Kagome calm down! You have every right to be upset but don't kill the messenger." Sango said.
"Your right I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm sorry but he's just so…so… ARGH!"
"Argh?"
"ARGH!"
"Just because Inuyasha is 'argh' doesn't mean he doesn't have his good points. Come on downstairs. Have dinner with him. He really wants to make it up to you." Sango tried to convince her temperamental friend.
Before Kagome could start her defense something caught he eye. "Hey Sango what do you have there?"
"Huh?" Sango looked to where Kagome was pointing. Turns out she was talking about the dress. Picking it up Sango handed to her. "Oh I almost forgot about this. Here it's a dress from Inuyasha. There's also a necklace he wanted you to have. Give me a minute."
Kagome didn't even hear what Sango said after 'dress from Inuyasha.' She was too busy admiring the gown that was handed to her. After examining every inch of it she concluded there were no flaws. It was perfect. She only stopped looking at it when she felt Sango poke her.
"Kagome? Hey Kagome?" Sango had found the necklace in her pocket and was trying to give it to Kagome. Kagome however wasn't paying attention and therefore didn't respond. Finally Sango poked her in the arm to get her attention.
"I'm sorry Sango did you say something?"
"Yah I did," holding out the necklace for Kagome to take she continued, "Here. Inuyasha also wanted me to give you this."
Kagome carefully laid down the dress on the bed and picked up the necklace. "Oh wow…this is beautiful."
Sango gave her a small smile. "Yah it is and it's really special too. Trust me Kagome Inuyasha really likes you. So go downstairs and make up."
Kagome sighed but smiled. "I guess I have to huh? I don't think I could be mad at him after these. Darn Inuyasha and his sensitive romantic side."
Sango only laughed. "I'll go down and tell him the good news then I'll come back and help you okay?"
"Okay."
-Meanwhile in the Kitchen-
"If I do say so myself I say we did a pretty good job." Miroku praised himself.
"Yah everything looks like what's it's supposed to and doesn't seem deadly." Shippo added.
Inuyasha just paced back and forth while Shippo and Miroku admired their masterpiece that was dinner. It was a simple meal of bread, meat and rice but it looked and smelled good.
"It won't matter if Kagome doesn't come down. What's taking them so long?" Inuyasha complained.
"Now now Inuyasha you shouldn't pace. You wouldn't want to mess up your elegant and refined look now would you?" Miroku chided.
Elegant and refined indeed! If it weren't for the pacing and frown on his face you would have sworn Inuyasha was a regal and polite gentleman. He was wearing a crimson red collared undershirt, and a black tux over that. He wore no type of tie but rather left the top part opened. His pants were black as were his shoes. His hair hung in a low ponytail.
"That and your making me dizzy." Shippo piped up.
"Then stop staring at me you little runt!"
"No need to get so antsy Inuyasha. After all getting all flustered like a mother hen won't do you or anyone else for that matter any good." Miroku scolded.
"Inuyasha turned his attention to Miroku. "I dare you to say that again."
Miroku walked up to him and looked him in the eye. "No need to get so antsy Inuyasha. After all getting all flustered like a mother hen won't do you or anyone else for that matter any good."
"Why you little-"
"Hey guys everything ready?" Sango walked in. Seeing Inuyasha in a flustered state and Miroku smirking she raised a curious eyebrow. "Am I interrupting something?"
Miroku magically appeared in front of her and grasped her hands. "My lovely lady Sango how I have missed you so!"
Sango pulled her hands away and turned to talk to Inuyasha. This left her with her back facing Miroku, which is never a good idea. "So I talked to Kagome and I got her to reconsiiii-!"
Sango's sentence was cut short when Miroku grabbed her bottom, making her scream and causing her to slap him.
Shippo sighed and shook his head. "When will he ever learn?"
Miroku on the other hand sighed in contentment. "Best half second of my life."
Inuyasha just ignored the whole scene and started talking to Sango. "So she'll come down and join me for dinner?"
Sango immediately returned her attention back to the hanyou and smiled. "Exactly. Oh that reminds me I promised I would go right back up there and help Kagome with her dress so Inuyasha come with me."
Grabbing Inuyasha's hand she dragged him out of the kitchen and to the bottom of the staircase. Once there she positioned him so he would be able to offer Kagome his arm and lead her to the dining room. "Okay I want you to stand right here. I better make sure Miroku and Shippo know what to do."
Sango left Inuyasha at the staircase and returned to the kitchen. "Miroku and Shippo bring the food to the dining room then come back to the kitchen and stay there. We'll eat in here so that Inuyasha can swoon properly." Without another word Sango left them and went back to Inuyasha.
"Stay right here I'll make sure Kagome comes out in a minute." Sango then flew up the stairs to help Kagome with her gown.
-Knock- -Knock-
"Kagome it's me Sango are you dressed?"
Kagome called through the door. "Yah I'm dressed Sango. Come on in just close the door behind you."
Sango walked in and shut the door. She then got her first good look at Kagome. The gown suited her perfectly. The color complimented her eyes beautifully and the dress showed off her wonderful figure. She wore her hair down so it flowed down her back.
"Wow Kagome you look great!" Sango praised. "Do you need help with anything or are you all ready?"
Kagome blushed at Sango's compliment. "Uh yah could you fasten the necklace for me? I can't seem to get it hooked."
"Of course! Turn around."
Kagome turned her back to Sango and lifted her hair out of the way. A few minutes later Sango was finished and Kagome let her hair fall. Taking a step forward she twirled around a few times. "I feel like royalty!"
Sango laughed. "Well you ready to meet your prince charming?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
-With Inuyasha at the Bottom of the Stairs-
Inuyasha was mumbling to himself, "Stupid wenches taking their own sweet time…what's taking them so long? How hard is it to-"
Inuyasha stopped talking to himself when his doggy ears picked the sounds of footsteps. Looking up his eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly. Standing at the top of the stairs was his Kagome dressed as an angel in his mother's gown and necklace. 'Mom would have been so happy…'
Kagome descended down the stairs. Blushing slightly at the fact that Inuyasha was staring at her so caringly.
When she reached the bottom Inuyasha offered her his arm and a gentle smile, which she gladly accepted. He then escorted her to the dining room. Once there he pulled out her chair for her and pushed it in once she was seated.
He then sat down and enjoyed a nice meal. Inuyasha finally broke the silence. "I'm sorry…about earlier I mean."
Kagome just smiled at him. "Apology accepted. I'm also sorry I didn't mean to throw those things at you. Well I did but- "
"It's ok I deserved that but I still feel bad so tomorrow I'm going to take you to visit your family."
Kagome's eyes widened in shock and sparkled in happiness. "You will?" As soon as he nodded she leapt out of her seat and gave him a big hug. "Thank you so much! My family would love to meet you! This will be so much fun!"
