Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo were sitting by their campfire, getting ready to eat dinner. Their food was getting cold, coincidentally, they were still waiting for Miroku and Sango to come out of the cave. Well actually, Inuyasha would have been just fine starting without the two, however, Kagome took the necessary measures to make sure he did indeed wait.
"Damn it, when are those two going to show up! If they don't come by the time that next twig burns up, I'm starting without them!" He glared at Kagome while dusting off his haori. "And I don't care how many more 'sits' you give me either!"
Kagome was worried. This wasn't part of her plan. Surely those two would have hooked up by now, not even they could possibly be so stubborn. 'I hope Sango is all right in there, knowing how perverted Miroku can get... on second thought, perhaps it would be he who would be in danger if he tried anything in there, but still... what could possibly be keeping them? Perhaps they still haven't gotten together after all and this whole plan is a bust...'
Just then, over the sound of Inuyasha's growling, she heard voices coming closer from the entrance of the cave. 'It's them!'
She jumped up and ran towards the two. Shippo and Inuyasha quickly started on the dinner, now that Kagome was distracted.
"Hey you two, where have you both been..." Her words and her smile faded when she got a cold glare from Sango.
"Well somehow we ended up getting locked in a cave for hours," she then directed her glare at Miroku, "and I was stuck having to constantly fend off this dirty pervert!"
Kagome's look of confusion turned to one of horror. "R-really? That's all that happened in there?" At Sango's incredulous look, she quickly rephrased her question. "I mean, umm you two just spent the whole time fighting?"
"Well I was having fun," Miroku said while giving Sango a perverted grin.
She pushed him away from her. "Well I wasn't. It was the most cruel thing someone could do to me. That boulder wasn't blocking the entrance before, so I am lead to the conclusion that it was done on purpose."
At that, Kagome's heart started to race. 'Oh no, when Sango finds out that I had planned this whole thing, she may never forgive me...'
However, she ran to Shippo and pointed at him. "It was you who lead me to this cave, by the way, which had no youkai! And believe me, I checked."
"Whaaaa..." Shippo dropped the meat he was half done with and jumped up and pointed at Kagome. "Wait a minute, this whole thing wasn't my idea, Kagome made me do it!"
Inuyasha actually stopped eating to watch this whole squabble with an amused look on his face.
"She threatened that if I didn't help her, she wouldn't bring me anymore chocolate!" he exclaimed, dropping to the floor and dramatically throwing his arms up in the air. "I'm only a chibi, chocolate is my weakness!"
'Little traiter...' Kagome thought angrily in her mind. 'See if I ever bring anything for you again'
Sango gasped. "Is this true, Kagome?"
The young priestess hung her head. "Yes... I'm so sorry, Sango. I didn't mean for it to be this way..." she glared at Miroku. "I was hoping that for once in his life, he would stop being such a jerk and you two would finally admit your feelings for each other."
Sango gave her a dissapointed look. "I can't believe you would go and meddle like that, Kagome. Even if your intentions were good, that was still a very unfair thing you did... considering what I had to go through..."
"Oh, I am really so sorry, Sango," she said remorsefully and then pointed a finger at Miroku. "Look at what you did, hurting her like that! I'm trying to do you a favor and this is what you do!" She grabbed up the Tetsaigua that was laying beside Inuyasha and chased Miroku around with it.
"Kisama! Taste the blade of the Tetsaigua!" She yelled while waving the sword around her head. Lucky for him though, the sword didn't transform and so was still in it's rusty form.
Inuyasha looked at the scene and sighed. 'That has to be the most pathetic form in the use of a sword I have ever seen...'
Miroku ran behind Sango. "Help me, this girl's crazy!"
"You wanna see crazy?" Kagome said wildly, and started to swing at the air, "I'll show you crazy!"
Then she heard laughing and looked around. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The laughter was coming from Sango.
"I... couldn't keep a straight face anymore," she said between laughter. "You are so funny Kagome." She turned around and looked at Miroku. "Don't you think so?"
"Oh yeah, she was hilarious," the monk said sarcastically while he wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead. "Especially the part where she was threatening my life with a sword."
"Oh come on, it was in it's rusty form, how much harm could it have done?" She asked, laughing.
"Well enough to give me some sort of infection, I mean, do you know where that thing's been?" he countered, looking at the Tetsaigua in disdain.
"If I were you, monk, I wouldn't be worrying about the Tetsaigua being the cause of any infection you catch," Inuyasha retorted, obviously getting him back for the insult on his beloved Tetsaigua.
Miroku ignored his comment and turned back to Sango.
Kagome stood there, like all the wind was knocked out of her, the sword falling out of her hands.
"I thought you were mad at him, Sango," she said a little confusedly.
"Hmm... well, I guess there's always forgiveness," she said, smiling at Miroku, "Besides, he's too cute to stay mad at," and it was she this time, who put her arms around him.
"And she's too hot to resist," said Miroku, and wasting no time, started to kiss her. They once again, shared a passionate kiss which they now shared in front of friends.
Kagome thought her jaw was going to hit the ground. 'I must be going mad. It is not Miroku and Sango standing right there, kissing in front of me... it can't be...'
Shippo and Inuyasha were quite shocked to say the least. Well at least shocked to the point where they completely stopped eating to stare at the two who were still going at it.
After a few moments, they finally stopped and smiled again at each other.
"Y-you t-two..." Kagome stammered.
"Gotcha," Sango said while laughing at Kagome's face faulting. "That'll teach you not to meddle in other people's affairs."
"So you two did hook up then," Kagome said, starting to smirk. "And judging by that earlier display of affection, you had plenty of practice in the cave."
At that, Sango turned beet red. "What can I say Kagome? When you're right, you're right," Miroku said, while putting his arms around his girlfriend. Kagome started to giggle.
"It wasn't like that!" the blushing girl exclaimed while pushing Miroku away. "It only happened... a few times..." she said quietly while looking off to the side.
"Aww you're blushing! That's so cute!" Kagome beamed. "Well, I'm happy to have helped you two get together, aren't I a great friend?"
"Yeah," Sango said, and started to smirk as well. "Yes, you were such a good friend to us, it is only fair we return the favor."
"E..hehehe, why whatever do you mean?" Kagome asked, a hint of fear in her tone.
"Oh... you know, like I think that you and Inuyasha would be a great couple. And since you two haven't hooked up yet..."
"Don't you dare think of getting me involved in your stupid human schemes," the hanyou growled menacingly.
"Haven't I been through enough? I almost got a heart attack when you made me think the whole thing was a disaster, can't we just call a truce?" Kagome pleaded.
"Hmmm... I don't know, I'll have to think about it," she said mischievously, "I really can't guarantee anything though, if the perfect idea strikes me, I may feel the need to go with it. Or on the other hand, I may eventually forget about it. Who knows?" 'Revenge is so sweet. Whether I get her back or not, Kagome is still going to worry about it and that can be revenge enough'
"Don't you dare, Sango!" Inuyasha said warningly.
Kagome leaned against a tree and slowly slid down it. 'My life as I know it, is over' she groaned to herself.
Owari...
Hope you enjoyed :)
