A.N. Gah! Anyways, you better review! I'll send evil hungry leprechauns at you if you don't! Muhahahahaha… Ok then read on!

After coming through the portal from Spirit World, Suichi took Kagome over to the couch and settled her into his lap.

"… So why a week?" Kagome asked, shifting around in Suichi's lap till she was comfortable.

"So we can get to know one another better."

"Oh."

"Yes."

"Well this is really awkward. How bout we go out on a date?" Kagome suggested.

"No." Came the very un Shuichi voice.

"Youko! But I want to go out. I can't stay inside all day." She whined.

"I want to be with you and only you, not frolicking around with humans." Youko's voice said coming from Shuichi's mouth.

"Please! I want to go out on a date with Shuichi. He doesn't know me as well as you."

"Then he shall get to know you inside this house. End of discussion." Youko said, and then disappeared back into the recesses of Shuichi's mind.

"Gah! Damn him, I wanted to go on a date." Kagome whined to Shuichi.

"We can still go on a date Kagome, a picnic perhaps? I have a small garden in the back." Shuichi suggested when he saw how upset she was.

"Oh, that's a great idea! What shall we have to eat?" Kagome asked as she bounded off Shuichi's lap and into the kitchen.

"There is some strawberries and whip cream in the fridge, maybe we could have a little fun?"

"Youko! You pervert! Go away this is me and Shuichi's date!" Kagome yelled.

"Fine, fine. I'll just go away, I'll just disappear into the darkness, only to be forgotten." Youko said sadly.

"Oh Youko. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way." Kagome said, abandoning the fridge to go over to Shuichi/Youko and putting her hand on his cheek.

"I know! I just wanted to get you close so I could do this." Youko cheered, grabbing Kagome around the waist he brought her body close to his. Dipping his head down he caught her lips in a heated kiss.

After kissing her till she was breathless, he sweetly kissed her once more before letting her go altogether.

"Now you go on your date with Shuichi and have fun." Youko said before he once again disappeared.

"Oh man, now I can't even think straight." Kagome panted.

"Maybe we should have our picnic now." Shuichi said, a little winded him self.

"Oh yes, that's what we were doing before wasn't it?"

"Yes it was. How 'bout you get the food and I'll get the blanket?"

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Kagome said.

Walking down the hallway Shuichi smiled. He could get use to having the black haired vixen around, especially if she kissed like that. Even though Youko was in control he could still feel it.

Getting to the end of the hall he opened the linen closet and pulled out a blue and white-checkered blanket. Bought just for the occasion of picnics.

Going back to the kitchen he found Kagome rooting around in some cub boards.

"What are you looking for?" Shuichi asked.

"Ahh!" Kagome screamed. Falling backwards she landed on her bottom. "I didn't hear you at all!"

"Hmm. What are you looking for?" Shuichi asked again avoiding the question for he deemed it unimportant.

"Oh! I was looking for a basket to hold all the food."

Looking over at the pile of food items set out on the counter he sighed. How could they eat that much without exploding? Sighing once more he opened a cub board above the sink and pulled out a large wicker basket.

"Will this do?"

"Yes, it's perfect. Now help me load the food in it." Kagome said, taking the basket and starting to stuff some food inside.

"You know we can't eat all of this." Shuichi said.

"What? We can too eat all of this! There isn't even a lot." Kagome answered.

"Ok…"

"That's what I thought. Now come on I have the food packed, let us go and eat!" Kagome shouted. Grabbing the basket she ran by Shuichi latching onto his hand with her free arm while she passed. Dragging him along with her, she made her way through the living room to the back door.

Pulling open the curtains, she gasped as she looked out onto the garden. It was gorgeous. There were roses everywhere, crawling over a far wall wrapping and around lattices. There was also a koi pond with lilies spread across it. Stone benches were placed near the pond, along with poles for lanterns.

Opening the sliding door she stepped out into the garden. It smelled heavenly. Turning to Shuichi she smiled at him.

"It's absolutely wonderful Shuichi." Kagome breathed.

"I'm glad you like it." Shuichi smiled at her.

"Where shall we have the picnic?"

"Over there is a clear space where we can put the blanket down." Shuichi said. Taking her hand he led her over to a secluded spot near the farthest wall.

Spreading the blanket on the grass covered ground; he then took the basket from Kagome and put it off to the side. Grabbing her hands he pulled her to him.

"I'm glad I am here with you."

"Oh Shuichi."

"Come, let's eat." Shuichi said. Gently he helped Kagome onto the blanket, before he sat down himself.

Opening up the basket he pulled out the many items Kagome had packed. Setting them in their own places he began handing Kagome a plate when he noticed she wasn't looking at him any longer.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Shuichi asked. She was fine a second ago, but now she was staring off into space.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered, and then fainted.

Leaning across the blanket he grabbed Kagome before she could hit the ground. Pulling her into his lap he turned and looked over to where Kagome was staring. Up on the high wall was a man wearing a red outfit and he had doggy ears perched on his head.
