Chapter 3

Disclaimer: ...maybe we should stop saying, for once and for all, we do not own Inuyasha... perhaps you've gotten the hint?

To all the people who clicked the purple button (lol), you get a virtual plush of the little cute dragon/donkey thingies from Shrek 2, courtesy of SilverWolf-Ryuki.

"Oh, shit!" Kouga smacked his head. "I forgot the tickets!"

"Tickets to what?" Kagura asked, examining her nails in boredom as she sat in the passenger seat of Kouga's old, almost-fallen-apart mustang from who-knows-when.

"To the movie. The incredibly gushy –"

Suddenly, a sickening sort of splat came from under the car.

"Gushy, you were saying?" Kagura raised a perfectly formed eyebrow. "What was that?"

"Oh, probably a water bottle," Kouga said carelessly.

Kagura turned her body around to look at the back of the convertible. "Are you… sure?"

"Um," Kouga's voice wavered. "It c-could have-have been… you know… a squirrel." He gulped.

"Uh-huh."

Kouga looked at Kagura, whose blood-red eyes were lazy and disbelieving.

"Uh, what-what about… a bird… no, a cat. Or… a dog! Or a deer! A moose! IT'S A LION! OH NO I RAN OVER AN ELEPHANT!" Kouga looked frightened. "WHAT THE HELL DID I RUN OVER? SOMEBODY CALL THE ZOO!"

"Ya-huh… Then what's that guy doing, hanging on the bumper and screaming in agony?" Kagura jabbed her thumb behind her.

"Huh?" Kouga let go of the wheel and looked behind. He clutched his head. "OH MY GOD! I'M A MURDERER!"

"FUCKING BASTARD!" The guy from behind screamed.

"He's alive!" A waterfall of tears streamed down Kouga's face.

"Breaks, Kouga!" Kagura pulled the emergency break.

The guy, along with the bumper, flew over them and landed on top of a van, a few streets ahead.

The sharp shrieks of the car alarm tore through the night air.

Pity this was the day Ayame chose to be sick.

"Uh, pass the sugar." Sango mumbled.

"There's a sugar on your table." Sesshoumaru answered dryly.

"Here's the sugar, sweet-heart."

SMACK

"Thank you."

"I'm going out." Kagome waved cheerily as she ran across the small coffee shop, dragging a half-asleep Inuyasha behind her. "See you all tomorrow! Sango, close the shop at 12:30."

"Mmm-kay." Sango mumbled.

The door closed with a ring from the bell above.

Miroku coughed.

Sesshoumaru glared.

Sango sighed.

Miroku tapped his table.

"Stop that." Sesshoumaru growled.

"Sorry," Miroku grunted.

Sango's eyes darted left and right. "Uh, right. So…"

"Yep." Miroku nodded slowly.

It's amazing how they managed to arrive in one piece. At least, that goes for the car. After the bumper got freedom, it seemed the rest of the car went on a strike too. First, the exhaustion pipe, and then some… metal screws, and wires, and a mouse. Several mice, actually.

"So, which movie?" Kouga looked up at the list of movies playing.

"I bet Kagome got us tickets to see the 8:45 Italian Passion." Kagura commented.

"Hell! Who wants to see that crap? 'Crimson-Stained Pillow' just came out!" Kouga pointed excitedly and jumped up and down. His eyes shone brightly.

"No, but what about 'The Sacrifice'?" Kagura pointed at another poster.

Fire flared between them. Suddenly, they spotted a poster in unison. "The Adventures of the Suicidal Bunny…"

"Must be American." Kouga shrugged.

Hurriedly, they bought their tickets and went in.

---

"Italian… Pa-Passion?" Inuyasha read from the ticket, almost gagging on the last word.

"Yep, hottest romance in town!" Kagome cupped her face, all dreamy-eyed.

"What the hell?"

"It's starring Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz! They are such a cute couple!" Kagome clutched her heart. "Such passion…"

Inuyasha slowly inched away from her. Who knows what's in that brain of hers…

"Oh, no!" Exclaimed Kagome, looking at her watch. "It's almost 8:30! We are going to be late!"

Suddenly, out of the corners of their eyes, a guy and what appeared to be car bumper flew past them. Seconds later, a shrill cry of the car alarm burst into the night.

"Young people these days…"

"How old are you?" Inuyasha eyed Kagome suspiciously.

Kagome whammed Inuyasha with her purse, leaving Inuyasha, face down, on the ground, twitching.

"Never ask a girl for her age." Kagome stuck her nose in the air. "Come on, Inuyasha."

"Girls are confusing…" Inuyasha mumbled into the ground.

Sango sipped her coffee quietly.

"Well, what a day…" Miroku sighed. "I'm just going to hit the…"

"Miroku, you're staying right here." Sango snarled.

A loud clinking came from Sesshoumaru's cup. He slid his chair backwards and made his way to the door. "Ja ne," He said simply.

Sango sighed with relief. "How awkward…"

"Now, my lovely…"

"Miroku," Sango smiled bitterly. "Please, I don't want my hand permanently engraved in your face."

"Oh, I don't mind." Miroku sighed, content.

"Right, then, oh, what do you know, it's about time we close the shop. Off we go." Sango dragged Miroku by his ears.

"Sango, its only 9:00 PM."

"Well, your watch is wrong." Sango snarled nastily.

Waterfalls of tears flooded out of Miroku's eyes. "Sango-chan…"

Kagome smiled and scooted closer to Inuyasha. "This is a nice change from being in the coffee shop all the time, ne?"

Inuyasha tensed. He almost threw the large drink at Kagome, when he realized it was Kagome.

"Right." He answered gruffly.

"Try to enjoy this movie." Kagome nudged Inuyasha.

"Oh, please, Francoise! Don't leave me!"

"You know I will never dream of doing so. Please, promise me, you will wait."

"Yes, I will wait! I will wait forever if I must!"

Kagome sighed. "How sweet…" She whispered.

"I love you."

A/N: BTW, these movies never existed. So… yeah, if any of the scenes are strangely familiar or names or something, I'm sorry, it was purely coincidental. Also, we don't own Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz, and we certainly don't care if they look cute together or not.

Hope you all liked this chapter. Oh, yes, we certainly did enjoy writing the scene of the man flying over the cars with the precious bumper. And Kouga's stress, elevating by the second. But that was a true story. It happened to us as we were riding in a car. We ran over something rather crunchy…

Anyways.

Replies to some reviews - the real couples will kick in as soon as Kouga and Kagura's date is over, and they go to the carnival. At least it semi- kicks in. But do expect chaos for quite a while...

Don't just read this and leave. We'd really appreciate if you leave a comment, or a review of some sort, or anything we can improve on. Flames, we enjoy reading. They usually look something like this: "THis is so bad!1111111. evry1 wuz so ooc n ur gramer suks."

So, please, if you're going to flame, don't do that. But once again, we'd appreciate feedback of some sort.
