DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! ... sadly... cries sudden mood swing D! HAHAH!

Last Time--

Unknown to the Hanyou and the Miko, an evil figure slowly turned and walked through the woods, thinking of ways to kill them both.

Chapter 3: More Love and More Hate... and Death

The figure in the woods walked until it got to a small, dark, clearing. It stared up at the early morning sky, when it got a simply wonderful idea. It knew when it would kill them all. It had the perfect time, and the perfect place. In one day, Inuyasha and his friends would be dead. The figure began calling demon spirits to the clearing.

"Why haveth you calledeth us, milady?" said the spirit of an ancient lord.

The figure chuckled slightly. "I have work for you."

"Whateth is it thateth you wisheth of us?" the spirit asked, as it lowered itself to it's knee.

"I ask of you to kill the hanyou Inuyasha, and his friend, the miko Kagome. If any others get in your way, should you be obliged to kill them, do so."

"We will do your bidding, lady."

The ancient spirit began to walk away, followed by many, many others.

"Oh," the figure said suddenly. "If, when you return, they are not dead, you shall be condemned to a life of suffering and pain for eternity."

The leading spirit nodded it's head slightly.

"As you wish."

When the demon spirits where gone from the clearing, the figure smiled. Finally, she thought evilly. Inuyasha and his friends shall be dead! Then, I will be able to rest in peace...

With Miroku and Sango

Sango opened her eyes. It was a beautiful morning. She looked over to Kagome's sleeping bag, but only Shippo was there.

Where could Kagome be? Last night she said she had something to tell me... I wonder what it could be?

She glanced up at the tree where Inuyasha had fallen asleep.

Where's Inuyasha? She then noticed that Kagome's bag was gone. Maybe Inuyasha and Kagome got into another fight and Kagome ended up going back to her era... That's probably what happened. Hmmm... maybe I should go take a dip in the spring...

Then a thought hit her.

Wait... Kagome and her bag are missing... and Inuyasha's gone... maybe... they're at the spring togeth---

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt something on her backside. She clenched her teeth, turned around, and slapped the lecherous monk in his face.

"MIROKU! Why do you always do that! You could do something else you know!"

Miroku lifted his head from the ground and rubbed the red handprint that was forming.

"What would you suggest I do, Lady Sango?" he quizzically asked.

"Well, a hug or something! That would do!" she shouted at him.

"You would like me to hug you?" asked Miroku. He smiled pervertedly then. "Are you implying that you like me, Lady Sango?"

Sango's face turned beet red. "I-i... n-no! I didn't say that! That's not what I meant!"

"Then what did you mean?" Sango didn't answer. "Then, Lady Sango, I assume that you do indeed like me."

Sango tried to deny it. "I-i, d-d-don't---"

Miroku interrupted her. "You do not have to worry, Lady Sango, I understand completely. You just can't resist me... and to tell the truth, I cannot resist you, either."

Miroku had taken her hand in his.

Sango looked into Miroku's eyes disbelievingly. "Y-you mean..."

Miroku smiled. "Yes, Sango. I love you." He pulled her into an embrace.

Sango was shocked, but then embraced him back. "I love you too, Miroku." They were silent for a moment, then "Miroku?"

"Yes, Sango?"

"Would you mind if we didn't tell the others about this?"

"Whatever makes you happy, Sango. But, if it's alright with you, I would like to know, why?"

"Well, um... because they're all... and you're all... Miroku-ish... and Kagome would... and Inuyasha... and laughing..."

Miroku nodded his head. "I understand completely. So we do not tell them then. Now that we're in love, however..."

He reached down and groped her. Sango grimaced, and almost held back the urge to slap him. But she did slap him. She looked at the other red handprint forming on his face and sighed."

"You just never learn do you?"

With Kagome and Inuyasha

When they had stopped kissing, they noticed that Kagome was naked.

EEEKKK! Kagome thought. I forgot I wasn't wearing anything! She blushed and sunk down into the water.

Inuyasha blushed too. Then he noticed that his haori was soaked. What are Sango and Miroku going to think! He thought worriedly. I'd better think of something to tell them...

Kagome quickly finished bathing and got dressed. Inuyasha was attempting to dry off his haori by spinning around and around in circles. Kagome giggled when she saw that. He noticed that she was done.

"Kagome! You're done!" he said. "Come on, let's go back and see if Miroku and Sango are up yet." He took her hand in his and they began to walk back to the campsite. When they got there, they saw Miroku sitting on the ground, rubbing two red handprints on his face, and Sango attempting to cook Ramen. Inuyasha and Kagome quickly stepped away from eachother.

"Sango! Miroku! You're up! What about Shippo?" Kagome asked quickly.

"Shippo's been asleep ever since I've been awake," Sango answered. "Anyways, where were you two? At the hot spring?"

Miroku sat up and his eyes sparked pervertedly. "You were bathing together?"

Kagome bonked him on the head. "Hentai." She simply said.

Sango bit back a chuckle and handed each Kagome and Inuyasha a bowl of Ramen. "So, Kagome, You said you were going to tell me something?"

"I did?" Kagome asked confused.

"Don't you remember? Last night! You said you had something important to tell me!" Sango said happily.

"Um..." Kagome thought for a moment. "Oh Yeah! Hey, everyone! I forgot to tell you all! Tomorrow's my birthday!"

Sango squealed. "Oh, Kagome that's great! How old will you be?"

Kagome laughed. "I'll be 16! And I've decided to have my party here in the feudal era!"

Sango smiled happily. "Really? What will we do? Will you bring stuff from your time?"

Kagome nodded. "Yep! I'll bring a cake, candy, pop, games, flashlights..." she looked off dreamily "... this is going to be the best day off my life!"

Inuyasha looked at her. "The best day? What's going to happen?"

Kagome shook her head. "I'm going to turn '16'... doesn't that mean anything?"

Inuyasha thought for a moment"... not really..."

"UGH!" Kagome walked over to where Shippo was sleeping and sat down. "Well, in my time, turning 16 is a big thing. It's special... it's... important."

Inuyasha shot her a sideways glance. "Why's that?"

Kagome thought for a moment. "Um... I'm... not really sure... maybe because... you can... drive?"

"Drive what, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"A car."

Sango and Miroku looked at eachother and shrugged. "Kagome," Sango sighed, "what's a car?"

Kagome giggled slightly. "Nevermind..."

They sat there eating in silence for a moment.

"Anyways," Kagome said slowly. "Since my birthday is tomorrow... and I'm going to be having my party here tomorrow... I'm going to go back to my time for awhile Inuyasha. Is that okay?"

Inuyasha glared at her. "No. You're not going back to your time! I'd miss y-"

Miroku and Sango had began to look at him. He realized they were staring, and he blushed.

"Um... I'd miss... finding the jewel shards! Haha!" He looked over at her, and she put on her puppy-dog-eyes face. He sighed. "Okay. You can go back to your time... but only if I get to go with you."

Kagome jumped up, ran over to Inuyasha, and threw her arms around him.

"Thank you, Inuyasha!"

Miroku and Sango continued staring at them, suspiciously. (a/n: lol :) )

Kagome blushed when she noticed them staring and pulled away from Inuyasha. There was another silence.

Miroku scratched his head. "My, this is awkward," he said quietly.

"Shut your mouth, Monk!" Inuyasha yelled at him.

"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome yelled. He fell to the ground. "So, we'll be going then. Tell Shippo where we are when he wakes up. We'll be back sometime tomorrow. Have fun without us!"

Miroku whispered quietly, "I'm sure we will."

Kagome turned to him. "What was that?"

He blushed, "Oh.. um.. nevermind..."

Sango felt like slapping him. Inuyasha got up off the ground, and Kagome ran over to him and jumped on his back, nearly throwing him down again.

"Good-bye!" She yelled, as they began running towards the well. She waved, and then put her arms around Inuyasha. He smiled inwardly. He loved her. He couldn't wait for her party! He had the best present planned out. (a/n: nothing mirokuish! ;) ) Finally, they got to the well, Kagome planning her party the whole way. Kagome got off of Inuyasha's back and walked over to the well. She was about to jump in when Inuyasha grabbed her by the waist, and picked her up, bridal style. She blushed for a moment, but then wrapped her arms around his neck. Inuyasha jumped into the well. The blue-ish, purple-ish light surrounded them both, until they came out on the other side. They looked deeply into eachother's eyes.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered back.

They were about to kiss, when there was a loud crash from the house. Kagome looked up.

"What was that!" she asked Inuyasha.

"I don't know," he said quietly. "Let's go find out."

He jumped out of the well, and set Kagome down. They ran to the house, and were about to open the door, when they heard a scream. They ran inside to see Kagome's little brother lying on the floor, covered in blood. Kagome fell down next to him, and put his head in her lap. She began to cry.

"SOUTA!"

A/N: SOUTA! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU! WHAT IS INUYASHA'S PRESENT FOR KAGOME! WILL SANGO AND MIROKU ADMIT THAT THEY LOVE EACHOTHER TO KAGOME AND INUYASHA! WILL SHIPPO FIND LOVE!
