ALSO, JINENJI WILL RETURN. LET'S JUST SAY THAT HE HAD TO GO TO SOME SORT OF FAMILY TRIP.


LAST TIME...

"Sango, if he would have said grilfriend, what would you have done?" Kagome asked. Sango thought about it. 'I would have slapped him' Sango thought.

"Exactly." Kagome said as if she had read Sango's thoughts. Kagome got off the branch and went to join her boyfriend. Sango began to think about her relationship with Miroku. She remembered all the times that she had rejected him and slapped him.

'I don't know how could he stand me after all that I have done to him. I mean, I have insulted him, injured him, and not once bothered to see if he was okay. How can he still be friends with me when I treat him less than dirt?' Sango was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't notice Miroku sitting next to her.

"Sango?" Miroku called for the third time. Sagon finally snapped out of it and looked at Miroku.

"Miroku, we need to talk." Sango said, sounding very serious.


THIS TIME...

CH. 17 FRIENDS, FOES, or HOUSTON

"About what, Sango?" Miroku said, very confused. Sango was almost never serious. She was the most mature out of them all, but still immature.

"About us. Why are you friends with me?" Sango asked. She was still sitting on the base of the tree. Her hand were on her lap and she was lookind down. Miroku was sitting right next to her and was crouched down.

"I don't understand." Miroku said, even more confused.

"I mean why are you friends with me, even when I am so mean to you." Sango said. Miroku grabbed her chin and made her look at him straight in the eye.

"Sango, what's this all about?" Miroku asked, even more confused, if possible.

"Nothing. Just answer the question." Sango said. Miroku sighed.

"Sango, I don't know what is going on with you. I am your friend because you are sweet, smart, brave, and a loyal and true friend. You prvoe to everyone that you don't need anyone to help you and that you are fine on your own. Sango, you can be really hard-headed, but that only makes a much better person. Now, tell me. What's with the question?" Miroku asked. Sango jerked her chin away from Miroku's grasp and looked down.

"But what about all the things that I've done? (Kick ass song from The Killers. ''All the things that I've done") I treat you like shit, yet you don't are!" Sango said queitly. Miroku chuckled softly.

"Then what do you prefer? For me not to be your friend and despise you for the rest or your life?" Miroku asked.

"Miroku, I just wanna know why would you be my friend when all I do is insult you. hurt you, and not even bother to see if you're okay." Sango said.

"Sango, what is this all- oh I see." Miroku said as the light bulb finally went off in his head.

"What?" Sango asked.

"This is about Kikyo, huh? Sango, you're smart, so please don't listen to her." Miroku said. Sango looked at Miroku and saw him give her a reassuring smile.

"Now, how about we join the others, ne?" Miroku suggested, as he stood up. Sango laughed and took the hand that Miroku was offering her.

"Hey guys, how'd it go?" Kagome asked, who was sitting on Inuyasha lap. Everyone was curious since they didn't know anything. Sango closed her eyes to control her anger.

"I swear Kagome, that mouth of yours would be the death of every single one of us." Sango said. "And if you must know, I don't know yet."

"Know what?" Miroku asked over Kagome's "Damn!". Everybody's eyes fell on Sango and Kagome.

"Um...I asked Sango...um...when...um...when you birthday is Miroku! I forgot! And apperently, so did Sango." Kagome stammered for an excuse.

"That...um...sounds...um...like...the...um...truth." Inuyasha muttered. Kagome shot him a look to shut up. Suddenly, they heard IT!

"INU-YAHIE BABY!" the slutty whore called. Inuyasha and everyone's eyes went wide, but nobody moved 'cause Kikyo and her posse where just feet away. Kikyo came up to Inuyasha and Kagome and pushed Kagome off Inuyasha's lap.

"Inu-baby, why don't you dump that sore loser and come with me. She's just a worthless half-breed." Kikyo sneered at Kagome. Kagome was being hold back by everyone, except Inuyasha because Kikyo was sitting on his lap.

"You know, Kinky, when you insult Kagome, you insult me. I am also an inu-hanyou like her." Inuyasha said as he pushed Kikyo off him.

"Owie!" Kikyo said as she landed on her bony ass. "Inu-sweetie, my butt hurts. Can you rub it for me?" Kikyo asked as she pouted. Tye, Yuu, and their mates made a dash for the nearest bathroom to puke their lunch.

"Kikyo, please. You have a bony ass. Not even Miroku would hit on you." Rin said. Miroku sighed. No one really gave him enough credit.

"Really. Well, have you met my new friend, Koharu?" Kikyo said, very evilly. Kagome and Miroku gasped. Not her, not the devil's whore!

"Hey Miroku!" Koharu said seductively. Miroku shuddered visibly with the look that Koharu was giving him. Sango was giving Kohaku the darkest look you have ever seen.

"Who the fuck is this skank?" Sango asked. Miroku and Kagome gulped.

"Koharu is Miroku's ex-girlfriend and my ex-best friend. They broke up about 3 years ago, but Koaru doesn't leave Miroku alone. That's why Miroku moved here." Kagome explained.

"To get away from her." Miroku said, spatting the word 'her'. (If you don't understand, you should have read the a/n on the top of the page)

"Miroku, sweetheart, you can do anything you want to me." Koharu said, winking.

"Gag me factor, coming right up." Ayame said. Kouga and Kagome laughed.

"Shut the fuck up wolf bitch!" Koharu said to Ayame. Kouga stopped laughing and growled at Koharu.

"Watch it, whore. You're just a weak mortal. I could kill you instantly." Kouga threatned. You could see so much fear in Koharu eyes.

"Miroku, honey, you're not going to let him talk to me like that? Aren't you going to protect me?" Koharu asked, fluttering her eyelashes rapidly. Miroku was about to say something, when Kagome interrupted.

"Who's gonna protect you? Miroku or the jar of honey?" Kagome asked. All the rockers (meaning non-Kikyo and her posse) bursted out laughing.

"What it, Higu-trashi! I can tell everyone here about Nikki." Koharu said. They now had a crowd.

"First of all, it's Higurashi. Second of all, if you insult Kagome, you insult me. I am also a Higurashi and Kagome is my cousin. And third of all, we all know about Nikki. We even know what happened 12 years ago. We know everything about Kagome." Miroku said.

"Damn it. There goes all my fun. But what about the school. Do they know what cause our little angel to make her wings turn to black?" Koharu asked, smirking, thinking she has won. Kagome shrugged.

"Tell them. I don't care." Kagome said.

"Don't worry, half--breed, I will tell them." Koharu promised as she walked away. Kikyo and her posse were still there.

"I see Koharu has some info about our little miko. This will be good. Later, Inuyashie babe." Kikyo sid as she winked at Inuyasha. Tye, Yuu, and their mates came back laughing.

"So, what are we going to do today?" Kagura asked as she sat on her mate's lap.

"Well, Inuyasha and I are going out." Kagome said as she sipped her strawberry smoothie.

"Will this be your first date?" Rin asked. Kagome shook her head.

"We both went to the club together, then the next day when I got attacked. Also, Inuyasha went to my house and we watched a movie. So this will be our fourth date." Kagome said. Everybodyu 'ooh-ed' and continued to eat and talk.


X- That Night. 7 pm. In a dark alley.

"Hey, do you have it?" the girl said. She was standing in front of two men.

"Yeah. We have it. Just make sure to hit him either the stomache or the head." the first guy said.

"And don't forget your end of the bargain." the other guy said.

"If everything goes according to plans, maybe I won't have to kill him." the teenage girl said. The figures nodded as they left.

'You will be mine, Inuyasha, even if I have to kill you. You will be mine.' the girl promised as her hooker boots clicked against the pavement.


X- Meanwhile. Halfway across the city. Higurashi Shrine.

"Lady Kaede! Lady Kaede!" Kagome yelled, looking for her grandmother's spirit. "Souta, have you seen Lady Kaede?" Kagome asked her younger brother who was in his room getting ready to sleep over at Sango's and Kohaku's house.

"Nope, sorry sis. I think she said something about visiting her family." Souta said. His sensitive ears picked up Kagome muttering so many words that shouldn't be said in front of children.

"Do you think you could watch Shippo while I go out with Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. She was really looking forward to tonight. She had spent all afternoon hanging out with Shippo and now she wanted to see Inuyasha.

"Can't." the full demon replied. "I'm going over to Kohaku's tonight and sleepover, remember?" Souta asked. He knew Kagome forgot. He snickered when he heard Kagome slap her forehead.

"Oh, and you also have to walk Little Inu and his mate, Keisha. They haven't been walked today." Souta said. Kagome blew a fuse. She heard the doorbell ring and knew it was Inuyasha.

"Come in!" Kagome shouted. Souta dropped his bags and covered his ears.

"You didn't have to shout." Souta gritted out. Kagome shrugged and went into Shippo's bedroom to get him ready to walk Little Inu and Keisha with his daddy.

"Yes, Souta. Where's your sis?" Inuyasha asked when he came upstairs.

"In Shippo's bedroom, getting him ready. Hey, can you help me bring this shit downstairs." Souta asked. Inuyasha shrugged and helped. They heard Kagome screaming at Souta to stop cussing.

"Ignore her. Anyways, what are you guys doing tonoght?" Souta asked.

"We're just going to the movies and then for something to eat. Don't worry, I will bring her back before 11, sir." Inuyasha mocked. Souta gave him a dry look.

"Hahaha. Very funny." Souta said. A car outside began to honk. Souta looked outside and saw Sango and Kohaku. "Sis, I'm leaving. Sango and Kohaku are here. Later!" Souta yelled as he loaded his three bags into the trunk. Inuyasha heard Sango remark, "Wow and you guys complain about girls having to much shit."

Inuyasha chuckled as he closed the door. Inuyasha sat on the couch and turned on the tv, waiting for his girlfriend to come down.

"Houston, we have a problem." Kagome said as she came down. holding Shippo. Shippo's eyes instantly brightened up.

"Daddy!" Shippo said as he jumped into my arms.

"Hey squirt. What's up?" Inuyasha asked.

"Mommy said that you were going to hang out with me, her, Little Inu, and Keisha. Is it true?" Shippo asked,excidetly.

"Is it true?" Kagoem asked, giving Inuyasha puppy eyes.

"Alright. But Houston, we have another problem. My sister Shiori has to come along. Right now, she's at home with Sesshomaru and Myouga, but we have to pick her up since no one can watch her. " Inuyasha gave in. Shippo cheered and went to fetch the leashes. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the waist and whispered into her ear.

"You're gonna owe me for this." Inuyasha whispered seductively. Kagome had shivers going up and down her spine. Shippo came back with Little Inu and Keisha.

"Is this Keisha?" Inuyasha asked Shippo. Keisha was just like Kirara, except instead of a diamond on her forehead, Keisha had a white triangle. Her fur was a light brown and black color.

"Yup. She and Little Inu are mates." Shippo said.

"Okay, let's get going." Kagome said. She got Little Inu and Keisha's leashes and opened the door. Inuyasha picked up Shippo and gave Kagome a quick kiss before stepping outside. First they went to Inuyasha's house to pick up Shiori. Inuyasha went upstairs to fetch his sister, while Kagome waited outside. Inuyasha came out with a girl looked almost like him. She had Sesshomaru's elfin ears, and she had violet eyes instead of the goled amber trademark.

"So, this is Shiori. Very nice to meet you. My name is Kagome Higurashi. This is my son Shippo and our dogs, Little Inu and Keisha." Kagome said. Shiori giggled as the dogs licked her hand. Kagome smiled.

"Shall we go ladies and genteman?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome, Shippo, and Shiori laughed as they made their way to the movie theather.

"Too bad you didn't get your sister's good looks." Kagome sighed.

"Oi, what are you talking about. My sister got my good looks." Inuyasha said. Kagome chuckled and kissed her boyfriend. They walked to the movie theather, and suprisingly, let the dogs in. They watched 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. After the movie finished, they went to the park and let Shippo and Shiori play with Little Inu and Keisha play around.

"I swear Johnny Depp is fucking hott!" Kagome said.

"But he looked like a girl in the movie." Inuyasha pointed out.

"So, he's still fucking hott!" Kagome said. (See, Anime master Inu. It doesn't matter that Johnny looked like a girl, he's still fucking hott!).

"What about me?" Inuyasha asked, pouting.

"What about you?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha began to whimper and Kagome laughed. Her laugh was cut short, when Inuyasha pressed his lips against hers. Kagome was grateful she was sitting, because if not, her knees would have given out.

"Oh, look Henry. Don't they look like such a wonderful newlyweds?" an old lady commented to herhusband. Kagome blushed and Inuyasha chuckled.

"Shut up!" Kagome scowled at him. Inuyasha kissed her nose and went to go get Shiroi, Shippo and the two dogs. Kagome sat there, waiting for her boyfriend, his sister, her son, and two dogs. Suddenly, someone sat next to her. Kagome looked up to see and old friend of hers.

"OMG! Jakotsu! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked as she hugged her gay friend.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a while, so I decided to track you down." Jakotsu said. Kagome 'aww-ed' and hugged Jakotsu and a quick kiss on the lips. They heard someone clear their throat and saw Inuyasha, Shippo, Shiori, Little Inu, and Keisha.

"Jakie!" Shippo screamed as Jakotsu hugged him. They both laughed.

"Um, Kags, who is this?" Inuyasha asked. He was a little mad becuse his son was hugging someone he didn't know and his girlfriend just kissed the guy.

"This is Jakotsu. He's also part of my gang. Jakie, this is my boyfriend Inuyasha and his little sister Shiori." Kagome said.

"Oh, he's hott. I know I raised you right." Jakotsu said. Kagome and Shippo laughed. Inuyasha just gave a confused look.

"Jakotsu is 10 years older than me and has been raising me since I was 5. Oh, and Jakotsu is gay." Kagome said. Inuyasha understood everything.

"Why? Were you jealous that I might be more attractive to Kagome than you are to her?" Jakotsu teased.

"Keep laughing, marshmellow boy." Inuyasha said. Jakotsu did look like a marshmellow. Since it was a wee bit chilli, Jakotsu was wearing white baggy pants and a white ski jacket.

"Your just jealous." Jakotsu said. His beeper went off and Jakotsu saw that it was his brother.

"I gotta go Kags. It was nice meeting my daughter's future mate." Jakotsu said. Kagome and Inuyasha blushed. "Bye Shiori. I'll see you later. Ja!" Jakotsu said as he left. Seconds later, you could see a convertible zoom out of the park and into the heart of Toyko

"Wow, he's the first almost normal friend of your that I have met." Inuyasha said. Kagome laughed as they made their way to her house.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, babe." Kagome said. Inuyasha kissed her full in the lips. Kagome laughed and went inside. Inuyasha went home with Shiori, whistling.


X- Saturday. Noon.

Kagome, Shippo, and Souta were going around and cleaning the Shrine. Souta was cleaning the horses' stables and Kagome was bathing the dogs. Shippo was feeding the cats.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" Kagome said as she fell into the river. (Yes, there is a river. The Higurashi Shrine was built near a forest and the forest has a river, in which where the dolphins live in). Souta and Shippo laughed as Kagome spitted out a goldfish.

"Okaa-san, you are so silly." Shippo laughed.

"Yeah, laugh it up. Why don't you try and clean the dogs." Kagome said. Souta and his newphew laughed, but was cut short when the doorbell rang. Souta ran to get the door. Kagome sighed as she went underwater to fetch the bar of soap and brush.


X- Souta's POV

I ran to get the door, still laughing at my sister's clumziness. I opened the door and saw Inuyasha with Shiori.

"Hey Inuyasha. What are you doing here?" Souta asked.

"Well, I thought I should come by and suprise Kagome and Shippo. I brought Shiori 'cause I knew she would be bored and she and Shippo seemed like such good friends." Inuyasha explained. I nodded and lead him and Shiori to the back. When we got out, I couldn't find Kagome. All of a sudden, Kagome came from underwater.

"Hey guys? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"What? I can't visit my girlfriend anymore?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome, Shippo, and I gave him a dry look.

"Shiori, why don't you go and play with Shippo. Souten is coming later." Kagome said. Shiori nodded and went to play with Shippo. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and blushed, turning his face the other way. I looked at my sis, and gagged.

"What!" Kagome asked.

"Um, Kags. White shirt+WaterSee Through." I said. Kagome looked down and saw that her Happy Bunny shirt was indeed see through. Kagome shrieked and dunked underwater. I got Kagome a towel and handed it to her.

"Thanks bro." Kagome said. She wrapped the towel her torso. She went upstairs to change.

"Wow, that was akward." Inuyasha said. I laughed and continued to clean the horses stable.

"Hey Inuyasha, can you help me and brush the horses' manes." I asked him. Inuyasha just shrugged, got a brush and combed the first horse's hair. Kagome came down in khaki pants and a white shirt that 'Be poor; It's cheaper.' We read her shirt and laughed.

"It's true!" Kagome said. We shook her head and continued our chores.


X- Later that Night. Inuyasha's POV

"Shit, I'm tired." I said.

"Me too. Fuck this!" Souta said as he changed channels. The channel that was on before had 'Spongebob Squarepants' but now they were watching 'Punk'd'. Kagome was too tired top tell Souta to stop cussing.

"Hey, Spongebob is good." I said. Shippo and Shiori were upstairs sleeping. Souten had stopped by and left about 2 hours ago.

"He's gay." Kagome and Souta said in a monotone.

"He's not. He's just hyper." I defended Spongebob. Kagome gave me a dry look. I shrugged and watched um this rapper get punked.

"What's his name?" I asked.

"Beats us." Souta said. (I was watching the actual show. It's the rapper that goes to the studio and then can't get his car out because of cement. I forgot his name).

"Aren't you guys supposed to be all knowledgeable?" I asked. (Is that even a word? Knowledgeable?Maybe. Oh well). Kagome and Souta glared at me.

"We are rockers. As in we listen to rock, we breathe rock, and we watch rock." Kagome said.

"We don't pay attention to rap and all that shit." Souta said. (No offense to those who love rap and shit. I don't undertand how you could understand it, but okay!)

"Whatever." I said as we continued to watch T.V. I went home that night late, unaware that all day long, someone was watching us.
