Chapter 2 Embracing Friendship

"He acts so nicely! It must be nice having him flatter you all the time." Kagome said talking with Kaoru and looking at Kenshin. ((Unlike Inuyasha…))

"What? No! Are you accusing me of liking him? Huh? Yes, you are! Well, I don't! I don't like him. STOP BOTHERING ME ABOUT IT!" Kaoru said going all crazy on Kagome.

Kagome slowly started stepping back "No…" When Kaoru turned towards her once more Kagome put her hands in front of her face and crouched down "Please don't hurt me! I never said anything like that!"

"Oro?" Kenshin turned from where he was sitting with Inuyasha to Kagome's loud screams and received a bump on the head. He rubbed his hurt head and looked up into Inuyasha's golden eyes. "Don't be concerned, stupid human."

As he said that he walked over to Kagome ((sometimes I swear I see him looking at her too much)) "What's wrong wench?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome pointed over his shoulder and he slowly turned around. There he saw an annoyed and paranoid Kaoru with her hair at end, evil eyes, and a very visible evil aura around her.

Out of nowhere Miroku came up behind Inuyasha and put his forefinger and middle finger on Kaoru's head and pushed her as he said "Demon be gone!"

Kaoru slowly realized what he said and that made her more mad. "I'm not a demon! Who do you think you are!" she said waving her hands in rage up and down.

"Uh…Is that a trick question?" Miroku asked thinking that being a monk was obvious.

"No! It's a rhetorical question!" Kaoru continued yelling at them until she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Should you really treat your guests like that?" Migumi said turning Kaoru around to face her.

Kaoru realized her mistake and hated that the fox was right. "No...I guess not," she said through clenched teeth.

Migumi turned and scanned the room and saw Kenshin talking pleasantly with a woman, a man, and Sano. "Kenshin!" she said running to him to give him a hug.

Choke. Choke. "Uh, I think you're hugging him a little too tight." Sango said a little concern about Kenshin's purple face.

"Oh, don't worry about that; she always does that when she sees him." Sano said. He then whispered to Sango, "But she just does it to spite Kaoru."

"Oh." Sango said understanding but still concerned. When she turned to look back at Kenshin, everybody was sitting next to them except Miroku and Kaoru.

"…It is very possible that I might die soon and will have no one who can defeat my enemy and avenge my family" Miroku said holding Kaoru's hands and looking intensely at her.

"Uhuh yea…you can die in my backyard." She said rolling her eyes.

"How sad your story is!" Migumi said with her eyes on the brink of tears.

"It is? Oh! I mean it is! So, I want to ask you: Will you bear my child?" Miroku said thinking he was finally lucky.

"All right, that's enough!" said Sano pulling Miroku away, straining to pull their hands apart.

"Yes! Yes! I'll bear your child!" Migumi said leaping for Miroku and landing on top of him throwing Sano to the side.

The whole room stopped and looked at them. Silence was in the air for thirty minutes. Then, Kagome started laughing aloud unable to cover up anymore. Inuyasha started joining her and Kenshin looked at them weirdly. "Oro? Was there something I missed?"

"No! It's just that he asks that to every girl he sees and she's the first one to say yes." Kagome said in between breaths of laughter.

Kaoru understanding that Migumi was looking like a fool started to laugh. Sango was just red in the face and decided to let it go that he had asked her and started laughing the laughter of anger. Sano sat by Miroku and didn't laugh. ((How could she have said yes!))

"I still don't get it…." Kenshin said wanting to laugh also.

"Why are you all laughing? What's wrong if I said yes?" Migumi said annoyed of being laughed at. She grabbed Miroku and pulled him outside. "Come on!" and with that they were gone. A/N: not forever….duh!

At a distance they could hear Migumi's voice yelling, "Hey get your hand off my butt, pervert!" and a thud to the ground.

That made Sango laugh even more. ((pervert…))

Migumi walked inside with an angry look on her face "What is he thinking?" She slumped down next to Kenshin and Sano. She looked around and saw everybody was staring at her.

Just then Kenshin started chuckling aloud. "Oh! NOW I get it!" He tried to be polite and tried to stop, but like everyone else he couldn't keep it in.

Migumi looked at him and started yelling at him. Kenshin trying to calm her down said, "Now, now. Let us all calm down and forget this whole ordeal. Let us focus more about….um…where Miroku is?"

"Oh ya! Where is he?" Kagome said getting up to look for him. "Wasn't he outside with you Migumi?"

"Was…." Migumi said crossing her arms.

Kagome walked outside and tripped over Miroku. "I found him!" she said acting as if she had completed a difficult task. "Inuyasha please help me pull him in." she said pulling Miroku's sleeve.

"Feh…stupid wench" Inuyasha got up and tossed Miroku inside. Miroku woke up with a start. The first person he saw was Sango. "Hello, dear Sango." He turned around and saw Kagome "Lady Kagome! I had a dream where we were in another universe."

"Fortunately, it's true!" Kagome said with a grin on her face. "Now we're here with Kaoru, Kenshin, and their companions." ((Wow…Migumi must be strong…he doesn't even remember anything))

"Feh, stupid monk. Can't even think right." Inuyasha said hitting Miroku on the head.

Kaoru looked at Miroku. "So you don't remember what Migumi said to you?"

"Migumi? …No, I am sorry. I do not" He said looking confused at her question.

"Then we can forget about it!" Migumi said looking at Sano.

"Ha Ha…Migumi's embarrassed about what she said!" Sano said holding his stomach while laughing.

"What a confusing and funny day!" Sango said looking at everyone.

"It's been weird that's what it has been!" Kagome said.

"Weird it has been" Kenshin said laughing ((These people are going to make our days very eventful, that they will do….))

"Feh…Whatever" Inuyasha said hiding a smile.

After about a week Kaoru decided to take Kagome and Sango somewhere nice while the guys "bonded"

Kagome sighed. "It's so nice here, Kaoru"

"You think? Well this is where I come sometimes to get away from that pig, and that stupid fox…." Kaoru said with a huff.

"Why do you hate her so much?" Sango said getting up from lying on her back.

"Uhh…" Kaoru started blushing. "No reason…"

"Come on! You must tell us!" Kagome said jokingly.

"So it is for Kenshin? Huh? Huh?" Sango sat down and started to elbow her.

"What? No! He just lives with me! Nothing more!" Kaoru said pushing Sango away.

"Uhuh….and….?" Kagome looked at her with a grin on her face.

"Didn't you hear me? I said nothing more!" Kaoru didn't like herself being cornered.

"Hmmm…." Sango looked at her and then turned away. "I understand"

Kagome said with a hint of sadness "Don't worry; we know how you feel…"

Kaoru looked at them surprised "Really?"

"Sadly we do…" Sango looked down.

Suddenly the girls looked at each other smiling and yelled together "I've got an idea! You do?"

"Yeah! Listen…we act like we…" Kaoru looked towards Sango

"Don't like them….and like…" Sango looked happily to Kagome

"Someone else!" Kagome clasped her hands together

"Do you think it'll work?" Sango looked doubtful

"It's got to!" Kaoru said

"Maybe it's a little extreme…" Kagome said laughing…

The girls paused for a second then said "Nah!"

"Okay, here's what we do…"

"Why not?" Sano pushed the cup full of sake back at Kenshin.

"Miss Kaoru will be home soon, I will not be drinking tonight, that I will not" Kenshin politely pushed the cup away.

"Feh." Inuyasha grabbed the cup and drank it in one shot.

Everyone stared at him. "What?" Inuyasha looked at Kenshin with a smirk "Can't do that can you?"

"I will not do that tonight" Kenshin looked directly in Inuyasha's eyes.

Miroku drank from his cup and shifted in his seat. "Well…no need to turn this into a competition…"

Sano drank his cup "Why not? It'd be fun….see who can hold the most liquor" he pushed a cup towards Kenshin

Kenshin broke his stare with Inuyasha and looked at the sake it had been long since he had drunk sake.

"Maybe one cup…" Kenshin looked at Inuyasha and drank it in one shot. "And I can do that."

Inuyasha's smirk left his face, but came back again as he grabbed Mirokus' cup and drank it, poured himself another one and drank it.

"Hey! I was drinking that!" Miroku lifted a finger

He received a look from Inuyasha and Kenshin "No problem! Here you may take this cup…" Miroku handed it to Kenshin

Kenshin drank it and looked at Sano. When Sano nodded, he grabbed Sano's drink and drank it.

…..A few…okay…. many drinks later……

"Ha! Beat that Kenshin!" Inuyasha held the cup up in his hand

"That I will do Inuyasha…do not worry" Kenshin drank another cup.

"Ha ha, this is so funny!" A drunk Miroku elbowed a drunk Sano.

"You can say that again!" Sano laughed

"Okay…this is so funny!" Miroku laughed even harder.

Sano looked at Miroku. "…." Then burst out laughing.

They glanced at Inuyasha and Kenshin "Wow, how many have they had?"

"I lost count after the 35 or so" Miroku shrugged his shoulders

Inuyasha stared at Kenshin ((Why won't he give up already?))

Kenshin glared at Inuyasha ((He won't give up!))

They started laughing together. Inuyasha said "You know I didn't like you at first…but you're alright, just don't be touching Kagome"

"Oro? Why would I touch Kagome?" Kenshin looked confused then said "I will not touch your friend, and you will do the same with Miss Kaoru. Alright?"

"Kagome's you girlfriend?" Miroku looked over to Inuyasha

"Kaoru's your girlfriend?" Sano said smirking at Kenshin

"Oro? No…they are just our companions" Kenshin said trying to look convincing

"Yeah! What did you think he said? Idiots" Inuyasha looked towards Kenshin once more

"I promise you Inuyasha…it shall be that way, it shall" Kenshin looked serious.

"Good" Inuyasha smiled.

Kenshin stared at Inuyasha and then his ears. He slowly reached foreword and started touching them. "They're so fuzzy!"

When the girls came home they found Miroku leaning on Sano and Kenshin and Inuyasha with Kenshin still grabbing on his ears.

"Ha ha looks like they have bonded very well" Kaoru said quietly.

"If only there was a way to remember this…" Sango said disappointed.

"Um…yeah! Hold on!" Kagome went into her room and came back out with a camera.

Click. Click

"What's that?" Kaoru leaned over Kagome's camera.

"It's called a camera…watch" Kagome focused it on Inuyasha and Kenshin and took a picture. She then gave the camera to Kaoru and Sango. "See? That's sort of like a painting in the camera."

"Oooh! It looks so realistic! Magic" Sango said excitedly.

"No…I think the camera is just a very great artist!" Kaoru said pointing vigorously at the camera.

Kagome sighed and slapped her forehead. "Yeah, sure…"

The girls were laughing their heads off. "I can't wait to see their faces when they see this!" Kaoru took another picture.

"My turn! My turn!" Sango grabbed the camera. She started clicking away at Miroku and Sano. "Muahahahaha!"

"Alright…I think that's enough…" Kagome slowly pulled the camera away.

"No! give us 'The Camera'!" Kaoru and Sango started surrounding Kagome.

"Ahh!" Kagome was backed up into a wall.

Inuyasha and Kenshin woke up and looked around "What the hell happened?"

"It seems we have gotten drunk…" Kenshin rubbed his head while getting up.

Kagome hid the camera behind her back and pointed at them, "Their awake! Their awake!"

Kaoru and Sango immediately turned around to find all of the guys awake. "Oh hello…"

The girls looked at each other and nodded.

Kaoru walked over to them and Kenshin extended his hand, but she walked to Miroku. "Here let me help you up."

"Why thank you Lady Kaoru" Miroku grabbed her hand and got up.

Kenshin looked a little surprised and slowly put his hand down. Then looked up to see Kagome walking over to them then glance at Inuyasha.

"Feh. I don't need your help wench" Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Here let me help you Kenshin…" Kagome said helping him up.

Inuyasha glared at Kenshin as Kenshin thank Kagome.

"You might need help getting to your room…I'll help you" Sango was already leading Sano to his room. Sano smirked "Yeah you can help me…"

Miroku said "Dear Sango you can help me!" but Sango was already out of sight.

"Don't worry I'll help you." Kaoru smiled at Miroku.

"Feh! I'll sleep outside wench…" Inuyasha said as Kagome opened her mouth.

She closed her mouth, glared at Inuyasha and said "Kenshin your room's close to mine…I'll accompany you."

"Kenshin smiled warmly and said "Thank you Lady Kagome"

"Please! Just call me Kagome" She said as they walked to his room.

In the morning the girls got up and decided to make a big breakfast.

Kagome yawned again. "The plan worked perfectly…and we got a bonus" She held the camera up.

"Ha ha yeah it did." Sango said still a little sleepy.

"Hmm…the plan worked a little too well…." Kaoru shifted her eyes and landed on Kagome.

"Yeah…" Sango glared at Kaoru.

Kagome smiled happily "Yeah great job! You guys should be actors!"

"Huh?" Kaoru looked at Kagome then whispered to Sango "She has no clue what I mean huh?"

"Nope none at all…" Sango said.

"Oh hi Kenshin! Sit down and I'll serve you" Kagome pulled out a place for him to sit as he came in.

"Why thank you Lady Kagome" Kenshin smiled at her.

"Now what did I tell you!" Kagome stared down at him.

"Oro? Ah yes! My apologies Kagome." Kenshin held his hands in front of him in fear of getting hurt.

"That's better!" Kagome left humming happily.

The rest of the guys all came tumbling in. "Good morning!" Kaoru chirped happily.

"Can you be quiet!" Sano held his hand on his ears.

"Would you like food Sano?" Sango held a big plate of food in front of him.

"Yes!" He hugged Sango "I'm being fed!" Sango laughed trying to pry him off of her.

Miroku was really close to hittting him on the head but Sano had let go of her then. "Hmmm…"

Inuyasha was just eating and glaring at Kagome and Kenshin flirt and started mumbling "stupid…kill….human….Kenshin…..Kagome….take…"

After they had finished breakfast and were just sitting there talking they reached a dreadful moment of silence.

Kagome looked around and said "Well it think this is the time to take out the little surprise me and the girls wanted to give you…."

"What is it?" Miroku looked curiously at Kaoru. "You'll see…"

Kagome pulled out the camera "This is called a camera…I push this button and…" Click. "It's take something called a picture…which is sort of like a painting, but in here" She pointed at the camera.

"I see…" Kenshin held the camera carefully.

"And?" Sano looked towards Sango.

She laughed and looked to Kagome.

"Look…" She handed it back to Kenshin.

Kenshin immediately started to blush "Ah…uh…it looks very awkward…indeed"

Inuyasha snatched it from Kenshin and his eyes grew wide. "What the hell! I'm going to crush this demon!"

Kaoru rolled her eyes "… funny aren't you a demon?"

"Inuyasha! Sit!" Kagome grabbed her camera back. "This cost me a lot of money!"

Miroku inched towards Kagome "Please Lady Kagome…explain more of 'The Camera'"

"well…let's see….you just point and push the button and you capture your picture…oh! And you can also do something called zoom." She zoomed in on Kenshin's face "see?"

Miroku grabbed the camera and held it tightly "So this could be used with long distances?"

"well yeah…" Kagome shrugged her shoulders.

Inuyasha got up "Give me that now!" He tried grabbing for the camera.

"NO! Inuyasha! Do you know what this is!" Miroku started stroking the camera.

"Feh. A demon…" Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"No…it's so much more! It's 'The Camera'! Buy it now! Only cost 250 dollars! Buy it now and you get this free 10 dollar discount coupon as out gift to you only at Radioshack! Has 2 gigabytes of memory space. It's able to take video for up to 2 minutes! And it will aid my manly needs." Miroku did held the camera in front of Inuyasha's face he recoiled suddenly and whispered "Limited time offer. Restrictions may apply. Offer only available in participating store in Japan. Offer ends when Kaoru doesn't take off her clothes for me."

Kaoru looked at him and yelled "What did you say?"

Kagome paused for a second. "Yeah…"

"Um…my manly needs?" Miroku raised an eyebrow.

"No before that…." Kagome said shocked.

"Uh… 'The Camera'?" Miroku looked confused.

"And what did you say after that?" Kaoru was about to hit him.

"Nothing! I don't know what you want from me!" Miroku coiled in a ball and started stroking the camera.

Sango sighed. "Just forget it."

Miroku suddenly asked "Is there hot springs around here by any chance?"

"Yes there is. If you want I could lead you to them Miroku." Kenshin got up.

"Hmm…that sounds good…would you take us?" Kagome slowly stood up.

"Well…I mean…if that's what you want Kagome…" Kenshin was blushing.

Inuyasha stood up and pulled Kagome back. "Feh."

Kagome turned around and smiled "You will come too Inuyasha!"

"Yeah right!" Inuyasha said sarcastically.

"Good!" Kagome smiled and turned to Sango.

"What? Wait I never-" Inuyasha also started blushing

"We'll come too!" Sango pulled Sano up. "It's been a long time since I've gone to a hot spring"

"Then I guess I have no choice huh?" Kaoru got up and stood close to Miroku.

Kagome smiled happily "Then it's settled! We're going to the hot springs!"

A/N: (urcrazyn) ok there was something I forgot to mention up there…it was that the story is not historically accurate…but for the sake of the story…just imagine that Inuyasha's time is before Kenshin's and that Kagome's time is after Kenshin's time.

And VERY IMPORTANT!

>>>Just remember that this was a co-author story…well Stupid Person…she kinda ditched me…so I will continue on with the story! For your sake! So…please forgive me if Kenshin and his gang is a lot of O.C. remember that I was not the Kenshin expert….so yeah…

See ya
