Chapter 2
They had to do this today. It was Sunday and they had school tomorrow. At least Kagome and Inu-Yasha did but they all had to be there for this to work.
Phase One
Kagome and Sango got up at the crack of dawn. Well ok I over exaggerated, more like 8. They got dressed in record speed and were out the door before Inu-Yasha was up. His part of the plan was slightly easier so he could sleep way longer. Technically he didn't have to get up until Miroku did…and that was his plan.
So the girls rushed first to the most popular store in the mall. Believe it or not, it was the romance store. Tells you a lot about the people that live there doesn't it? Anyways, they started in the candle section, that was why they were there. Sango was instantly walking towards a set of purple ones. Purple was his favourite colour after all. So they bought three of those and left. They had a tight schedule and didn't have time for browsing. Their next stop was the dress shop.
Sango tried on almost all of the dresses and she got answers like this,
"Too slutty."
"Too olden."
"Too young."
"Bad colour."
"That's ugly."
And the list goes on. Finally they agreed on a sparkly purple one. Kagome told Sango that when she wants Inu-Yasha to really notice her she wears red. It's like instant attraction. So Sango took the advice. The dress went to halfway down her knee; it had small straps for sleeves and had a low cut collar. It was perfect. Miroku already thought Sango was beautiful in anything she wore so now he would be in heaven.
"To the shoe shop!" if they didn't have to do this so fast it might have been really fun. They decided on a purple pair to match her dress (You can make up the shoes, I'm not a shoe person, I don't know what would look good) and were on their way.
Next they went to the less luxurious place in the mall… the grocery store. They had plotted what they would buy the night before so they could do it fast. They grabbed some pasta, some chicken, some vegetables, and some wine. And no, their hope wasn't that they get him hammered and hope he will forgive her that way. They wanted it to be nice.
Phase one Complete
They hopped into the car and drove home as fast as their little wheels would take them. It oddly reminded Kagome of how fast Inu-Yasha drives. Scary, but there was no time for slowing down. She just hoped she didn't get caught by the police.
She was lucky, she wasn't caught. The 2 girls grabbed their stuff and ran into the house. They took one moment to recollect themselves before running into the dining room. They checked the clock. It was 12. That gave them at least 6 hours.
So instead of going back to getting ready they decided to take a break and eat lunch. They didn't have a fancy lunch, just ramen. They should have chosen something different.
Upstairs Inu-Yasha was still fast asleep. Then a nice fragrance hit his nose like a tornado. He smelt ramen. He was instantly getting up and walking downstairs as if following the smell.
Kagome had just put her bowl of ramen down when she realized she didn't have a fork. She got up and when she turned around Inu-Yasha was sitting there, eating her food.
"INU-YASHA!" there was no response. "Inu-Yasha?"
Sango who was eating her ramen looked at him as he stuffed his face. "I think he' asleep."
Kagome's eyes widened. She sat down in a chair right next to Inu-Yasha and got her face in real close. "Your right, he's not awake."
The second he finished his ramen his head dropped onto the table, crushing the cardboard bowl of ramen. "It seems he likes ramen even when he's asleep." She laughed.
"Better wake him up Kagome."
"Yeah." She looked at him with the noodles on his face and was reminded of the romantic dinner they had together. The one where Sess caught them but it was still a great night.
She gently nudged him, "Inu-Yasha, wake up." He still slept. "Inu-Yasha!" still nothing. Kagome let out a groan of frustration.
This had happened before and there was only one solution. She gave Sango an embarrassed smile. "This is the only way."
She gently picked Inu-Yasha's head off of the table. She whipped the noodles off and straightened his head. She sighed and when in for her ultimate attack, a kiss. When her lips made contact she felt Inu-Yasha stir in her arms, soon his head supported its own weight and he had wrapped his arms around her small body. She pulled away to see him wide awake and a little disorientated.
"It happened again." She told him.
He looked slightly embarrassed. "How did I get here?"
"You followed your nose."
He sniffed the air, "Ramen! I had a wonderful dream that I was eating ramen."
"It wasn't a dream." Sango told him.
"Oh." He apologized for eating Kagome's lunch and to show her he cared he made her more.
"Thank-you Yash."
He half smiled and exited the room. As soon as Kagome was done they cleaned the mess and started to work again.
Phase 2
They practically threw the black table cloth over the dining room table, of course what started rough changed into delicate smoothings of the cloth but you get the point.
Next went the candles. There were 3 in all, 2 small thin ones and 1 wide short one. They placed them in the middle of the table. Next they did the place mats. There were 2 of them, 2 purple ones. They were going for a colour scheme.
They place some cutlery and some glasses and they were done.
Phase 2 complete
It took the about 1 hour to finish that so now it was about 2. It was Inu-Yasha's turn.
Phase 3
He dialed the number, heard the ring, waited several moments until he heard a familiar, "Hello?"
"Hey Miroku, its Yash."
"Hey Yash."
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to a music store with me."
"Um ok."
"Great, ill be there in an hour."
So just like he said, Inu-Yasha was waiting outside of Miroku's house in his car. He honked once and almost immediately Miroku was running outside.
"So which music store are we going to?"
"Everyone in the city." He replied. Miroku paled slightly.
"Are you sure?"
Inu-Yasha nodded. Miroku shrugged and said, "Alright then." With that said Inu-Yasha revved the car and sped and when I said sped I mean it, down the street.
First stop… a music store…duh! I really didn't have to tell you that but… it was still fun.
1 and a half hours later.
Miroku was so tired of music stores. They had been to 7 so far and it seemed like Inu-Yasha would go to one end of the city then go to another and then go back to the side they were just on. It was crazy!
"Can we go yet?" He asked. Inu-Yasha checked his watch; it was only 4:30. There was still an hour and a half to kill.
"Nope."
Miroku groaned. This was going to be a long day.
Over to Phase 4
Kagome and Sango had just started to cook. It was hard work to get everything how they wanted it. They had to grill the chicken, cook the pasta, steam the vegetables, and prepare the whine in an ice bucket thingy. (O.k. so whine isn't that hard to prepare.) You get the idea. They weren't exactly expert cookers either. Kagome usually just cooked ramen and Sango ate rice balls and salad, things that didn't require much effort but she wanted Miroku to know how much she cared. She had to, she wanted this to be the best night of their lives.
Back to Phase 3
Miroku was bored out of his mind, as was Inu-Yasha who was attempting to make it look like he was having fun. It's harder than it looks.
"Hey, look at these guitar strings!" he said as enthusiastic as possible.
Miroku just sighed and replied, "They are no different than the ones at the other 8 stores we went to."
Inu-Yasha frowned. Why did he get stuck with this part of the plan? Why couldn't he just go home and help cook instead. There were a number of reasons actually:
He's messy
He has no idea how to cook things other than ramen
Sango couldn't go
It would be suspicious if Kagome went
Inu-Yasha doesn't like to cook /shop
And some other things
Inu-Yasha checked his watch; there was still 45 minutes to go. "Hey, what do you say we go get a coke?"
Miroku nodded, 'Finally!' he thought, 'Something other than music!'
So they went to the food court and bought a coke at the convenient store. They picked a spot and sat down.
Miroku was in a daze, mostly just thinking. He was thinking of Sango, the way she thought of him. He wanted to change… for her. He knew he had bad flirting problems and flirted with almost every girl he saw… it must be hard for her so see that. He felt a pain of guilt as he wondered why she even stayed with him. Any other girl would have left him ages ago but not Sango. What made her keen on staying? Or had she dumped him when she refused to move in with him? Or did he? He wasn't sure and he wasn't sure why she hadn't phoned… Then again why hadn't he?
"I will be right back." He told Inu-Yasha.
He turned the corner to where the bathrooms and phones were. Inu-Yasha probably just thought he had to go to the bathroom but he wanted to talk to Sango. He dialed her number and waited but there was no answer. Then there was a loud beep and the answering machine turned on. He listened to her sweet voice, savoring every word, wishing he could hear it for real. How he had missed her. It had been about 2 days since they last spoke which was torture for him. 2 days since they last talked and longer since he last saw her face, heard her laugh, touched her skin, hugged her, kissed her. All the things he longed to do with her. At that moment he knew what he wanted to do, he had to apologize to Sango for his flirtatious ways.
He was busting out of here. It would have worked if he hadn't turned around into a big person. "Oh… Yash." He said trying to sound innocent. "I was just coming back."
"Like hell you were, come on." Then he dragged Miroku back into the food court.
He was pushed into a seat where he sat looking bored. He really wanted to talk to Sango.
"Hey, were done all the stores I wanted to go to." Inu-Yasha told him. Miroku's face brightened.
"I think I will get going then." Miroku said. Sango didn't live far from the mall, he could walk.
"Before you go I wanted to show you something at my house."
Miroku groaned. He was never going to get to see Sango.
By then there was about 20 minutes left and it took about 30 to get back to his house from there.
Over to phase 4
Actually phase 4 just ended… They were putting on the finishing touches.
"Sango go get ready and I will finish."
She nodded and ran from the room.
Kagome poured the last drink and she was finished.
The candles were lit, everything was perfect.
Phase 3 and 4 complete
Phase 5
Kagome was quickly brushing Sango's hair as she was doing her makeup. They didn't have time to do anything fancy to her hair so she left it out, no ponytail or anything which was different than how she usually wore it, in a high pony or a low one.
With her makeup a hair done she slipped the dress on, looked at herself for a moment and walked out of the room. Outside was Kagome with her shoes, waiting for Sango. She slipped her feet into the shoes and she was finished.
She went to her post in the dining room.
Phase 5 complete
Delivering the man phase
Miroku sadly looked out the window of Inu-Yasha's car. Inu-Yasha wished that he had of left later because he forgot he sped. He remembered as he started to drive that it took 30 minutes when Kagome drove but more like 15 when he did. He hoped they were ready.
He wanted nothing more than to be with Sango at the moment, he was really close to jumping out of the car and running for it but at this speed it was suicide.
Finally they reached home. When they got inside it was time for action.
"Hey, Miroku, I left a case of beer on the dining room table, why don't you go get it?"
"Fine." Then he walked away.
As soon as he was out of sight Kagome showed up. "Is she ready?"
"Yeah, we were cutting it close though."
Inu-Yasha nodded then followed Kagome out the door. They would be spending their night at a restaurant and movie. They didn't want to intrude on their privacy.
Miroku was contemplating running out the back door instead of getting the beer but decided against it. What kind of friend would he be if he did that? But what kind of boyfriend was he by doing this? He decided as soon as he could he would sneak off to a phone.
He put his hand in his pocket to make sure it was there, the ring. He had never told anybody but he was going to ask her to marry him. He loved her with all his heart. He told her before but she had never said she did as well.
He sadly sighed as he opened the door to the dining room and was shocked at what he saw.
I'm so sorry it took so long to update but it wasn't my fault. I had so much to do this week. I had 2 concerts to go to and there was a dance yesterday. It was really hard to do much of anything. But I'm done now.
