An: First I have to say I am so happy with how many reviews I got last chapter thanks to all of you. You all keep me writing. Second I am so sorry for making all of you wait but I really didn't have time to update. Now that school has started I have been doing a lot of homework. It takes up most of my time so once again I regret making all of you wait.
Review Responses
SweetInuLover: Thanks for the popcorn! Well here is another chapter hope you like it and thank you for reviewing!
Foxy Roxy: Happy you liked it. Yea a secret that important was never meant to stay a secret anyway. Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter!
The World is a Stage: Your welcome, happy it worked! Glad you liked the chapter. Yeah I am also glad that there is going to be more Inu/Kag fluff I love to type it. I already got most of what I am going to do between them all figured out. I'm not sure if it will get fluffy in this chapter yet. I don't know depends on how things go. Yeah it was kind of unfair to Sango to have to keep that secret too. If he didn't want anyone to know then he shouldn't have proposed to her. (I would never have it any other way though.) Yeah I know what that is like. My younger sister likes to run off with my stuff too. Well to the lines I so often use... Thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter!
Fanficluv7Inu: Yeah I couldn't have Kouga lonely. I kind of like him. Oh I don't know you will just have to read to find out if he will apologize or not. Yeah it does seem a little weird and unlike Inuyasha to apologize. Inuyasha is 18 Miroku, Sango and Kagome are 17. Yeah I made Shippou evil but I thought his evil little schemes suited him well. He does make a good match maker. Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter!
Fanficluv7Inu (Shippou): Hi Shippou! I've always wanted to meet you! (Hands over notepad and pen) Can I have your autograph? Well Shippou no I don't think that is what they will do after they make up. Perhaps some time in their lives they will but not in this story. Well I think you are old enough to know that they are getting married! Oh no! (Covers mouth) I told the secret to someone else it was supposed to be a secret. Shh! Shippou you mustn't tell anyone. Yeah they are not alone. Shippou! That is no way to talk about your father! Well later Shippou I must go and write more about your life.

RainJohnson: Glad you liked it! Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter!
inu luver: Yeah they found out about the ring. Poor Miroku his secret is out. Yeah... Kagome she will probably act both positively and negatively. Well hope you like this chapter and thank you for reviewing!
AnitaThePapermaster: Yeah they are already engaged. They have known and liked each other since they were six so I guess they know each other well enough. Kagome and Inuyasha haven't known each other as long. About a couple of months so surely they are going to move slower in their relationship. Glad you like. Well hope you like this chapter and thank you for reviewing!
Mua: You guessed what was in the box? No one else guessed right. Yeah Poor Miroku but for Sango I don't think she minds every one knowing. Well glad you like my story. Hope you like this chapter and thank you for reviewing!
Kaguya99: Wednesday august 17. Thanks Glad you liked it! Yeah it might end disastrous... You never know... I don't even know. Yea... I really suck at that. SO SORRY I HAVE MADE YOU SUFFER THROUGH IT ALL! Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter!

Maruchan-Ramen: Glad you liked it. Also really glad that you looked past my mistakes. Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter.
bubblez4ya: I laughed when I read your review. I have to admit it did sound like you wanted Inuyasha to hit Shippou. I know better though. yeah he is dumb like that but I guess that is just a part of Inuyasha that makes him... Inuyasha. Well thank you for reviewing and hope you like this chapter.

Oh Brother!
Chapter 22.
Kouga still had not knocked out of his shocked state. Houjo, Sakura, and Ayame all three were trying to knock him out of it by waving their hands in front of him and even smacking him, But nothing seemed to work.
Kouga was so shocked because in all the years he had known Sango she had never struck him to be the kind of girl who would go out with let alone marry a guy like Miroku. She beat up guys like Miroku. Not like there was very many guys like Miroku, but still.
"It doesn't look like he is going to show any signs of life for a long time. We might as well give up." Ayame frowned. "Yea I guess." Houjo took a sip of his pop. "well guys maybe if Ayame kisses him or something maybe he will wake up." Ayame blushed. "But this is only our first date and I don't know him that way. Besides i want my first kiss to be special, With him in this state my first kiss would be wasted."
"You mean that you have never been kissed before?" Houjo asked with a look that clearly said he was shocked. "Well none of the guys were special enough."
"Ayame I never thought you to be the romantic type." Sakura said. "Come on do it I don't feel like carrying him out to the car." Houjo said impatiently. Houjo usually didn't act like he was now. Usually he was patient and nice to everyone but with Sakura around he wanted to change his act and so now he wasn't. ( I didn't want to make him sissy all the time. Truly I have never met a real guy who has acted like that. He won't be too ooc though.)
"Fine, What ever." grumbled Ayame. She leaned toward Kouga till she was right in front of his face when...

Knock Knock.
"GO AWAY INUYASHA! I REALLY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU NOW!" Kagome yelled. "chm this isn't Inuyasha dear." the person on the other side of the door said. "oh I'm so sorry I didn't know! I thought you were…" Mrs. Taisho put her finger to Kagome's lips. " It is quite all right. You didn't know, But perhaps you could make it up to me by telling me why you are so upset with Inuyasha?"
After hearing the suggestion Kagome jumped at the chance to let out all her emotions. "Well Inuyasha was being really mean to Shippou and he didn't deserve it." Mrs. Taisho laughed at the serious look on Kagomes face. She had a look that you would see on the face of someone who just witnessed a serious crime and was telling the police about it.
"Dear that is just how Inuyasha is you should know that by now. Anyway what did little Shippou do to make Inuyasha so mad?" Kagome had to think on this for a minute. She had actually forgot the reason why Inuyasha had screamed at Shippou. She was pretty sure that Shippou hadn't deserved it though. After about five minutes of thinking on it she had remembered.
"Well Shippou had walked into Inuyasha's room and pulled on Inuyasha's hair to wake him up, but I'm sure little Shippou couldn't have hurt him that much." Mrs. Taisho smiled finally figuring out the situation. " Well I just finished talking to Inuyasha and he seems to disagree with you on that. He said it hurt. He also said that Shippou yelled really loud and Inuyasha's ears are super sensitive. Of course I had to badger him for a long time to get that out of him. Don't tell him I told you that though it would be a big blow to his pride. Not to mention he would get really mad at me."
Mrs. Taisho turned around and started down the hall. "By the way he is in his room." Mrs. Taisho said over her shoulder. "He seems kind of upset." Kagome looked over at the sleeping Shippou on her bed before walking out the door.
Kagome walked to Inuyasha's room. She was so filled with guilt now that she couldn't stand it. When she came to Inuyasha's door surprisingly it was open. "What do you want are you back to yell at me more?" That statement made Kagome feel a thousand times worse then she already did.
"Inuyasha I am really sorry I didn't know…" Inuyasha who was not facing Kagome turned around she could tell by the look in his eyes that he was really angry and she didn't blame him. "Just save it. Go run to Shippou and baby him and leave me alone."
"Inuyasha you are making me feel worse." For once since Kagome knew Inuyasha she didn't yell at him when he yelled at her. "I don't care now go away." Kagome walked over to his bed and sat beside him. "Well I do so please forgive me." Inuyasha scooted as far away from her as he could. "And why should I?"
"Because I told you that I was sorry." Inuyasha fehed. "How do I know that you mean it?" Kagome scooted closer to him. "Cause I said it really nicely." She smiled at him seeing that he was starting to lighten up a bit. "That doesn't tell me anything but maybe you are good at acting."
"Inuyasha quit being so stubborn and just forgive me." Inuyasha turned his back to her so that she couldn't see his face. "No." Kagome leaned over his shoulder trying to see his face. "Inuyasha stop being so childish." Inuyasha was smiling and he was trying to prevent Kagome from seeing his smile. He had decided to forgive her but he didn't want her to know that just yet. He would have a little fun out of this first.
"Inuyasha why won't you turn around." Inuyasha didn't answer her. She leaned closer over his shoulder so that she could see his face when she fell forward and into his lap. She looked up and saw a surprised look on his face. "Wench get off of me." Kagome sat herself in a more comfortable position. "Nope not till you forgive me."
"Well your going to be sitting there for a long time then." Inuyasha said. Personally Inuyasha really didn't mind her sitting there actually he kind of liked it that is until she started to squirm around. Then it started to get really annoying. "Ok ok I forgive you just get off my lap."
With that said Kagome got up. "Hah I knew I could get you to give in." Inuyasha stood up and walked so that he was standing right in front of her. "Oh really?" Yeah I did cause you are all soft and mushy inside like a marshmallow you just don't want people to know that so you act like a tuff guy."
"Oh so you think you know me do you?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah you are easy to figure out." Inuyasha smirked. "Really." Kagome smiled. "Now that you are not mad at me any more you want to go some where and do something?" Inuyasha shrugged. "As long as the runt won't be there." Kagome lightly, playfully hit him on the shoulder. "Now be nice Inuyasha."
"Just let me get my jacket and then we can go." Kagome announced as she ran out his door. Inuyasha walked down stairs and grabbed Miroku's car keys. A couple of Minutes later Kagome walked outside jacket over her arm, to see Inuyasha leaning against a purple car.
"Inuyasha isn't this Miroku's car?" Inuyasha opened the door and got in. "Yeah so." Kagome rolled her eyes and walked to the car and got in herself. "So where we going?" Inuyasha shrugged again. "Don't know where ever I decide to go." Inuyasha turned on the radio. The song 'Dirty little Secrets' by All American Rejects was playing. (don't own them) "Why are you driving Miroku's car?"
"Gas." Kagome turned to the window looking at all the passing buildings and plants. "Oh…" Inuyasha seeing that he was kind of being a jerk by not really talking her when anyone could plainly see that she was pathetically trying to start a conversation. "So um where did your mom and Souta and your gramps go today?"
Kagome happy that he was talking to her beamed. "oh well gramps went to the shrine to check on things he said he is going to stay there. Mom and Souta went to look around the town some more today. Souta told me last night that there was some museums that mom wanted to check out." Inuyasha turned the music down a bit seeing as Kagome had to kind of yell to be heard. Kagome didn't quite understand this though his ears were supposed to be sensitive yet he had the music so loud that it could of made a person with regular hearing go deaf.
"Oh Ok." Kagome turned the music back up a bit. "I like this song." Kagome saw that Inuyasha was tapping his fingers on the stirring wheel to the beat. "yeah I do to." This is all that Inuyasha could come up with he wasn't very well at keeping a conversation up. "Are we almost there?''
"Yeah I guess if you want us to be." Kagome nodded. Inuyasha kept driving for about five minutes till he came to a stop. "Where are we?" Inuyasha ignored her question as he got out of the car. Kagome followed. 'Soo…." "SSSSSHH you will scare them away!" Inuyasha whispered. "What?" Kagome whispered back. "Inuyasha grabbed her hand and dragged her over to a tree. He pointed over at something.
"Aww Inuyasha they are so cute!" The tree that Kagome where hiding behind was on the top of a small hill and down below them was a plane and there were deer and bunnies running around. "That is not really why I brought you here." Kagome wasn't listening she just kept staring at the deer. Inuyasha poked her on the shoulder. "Do you want to see the reason I brought you here?"
"Oh sorry I just think they are so cute."
"Ok them hop on." Inuyasha kneeled down. Kagome climbed on. " Where are we going?" Inuyasha started to jump at a really fast pace so Kagome hugged him tighter. " To a place that my mom used to take me a long time ago when I was younger." the rest of the way Kagome was silent. When they got there it was different though.
There was a field of flowers of all kinds. "Oh it is so beautiful Kagome said as she sat down and started to pick flowers. "Yeah…" Is all Inuyasha could say as he picked a flower and put it behind Kagome's ear. "You look pretty." Kagome blushed. "Thanks." Inuyasha sat down beside her.
"Inuyasha do you like me?" Inuyasha almost fell over from the surprise of her question. "I guess you are ok." Kagome bowed her head. "Why do you want me to like you?" Kagome didn't say anything. She just continued to play with a flower. Inuyasha leaned in and was an inch from her face. "Huh do you?"
Kagome slightly nodded. Inuyasha leaned in and their lips brushed up against one another's. Kagome was the first to actually start the kiss.

When… Kouga snapped out of it. Seeing Ayame so close to him he blushed and poked her on the shoulder. Ayame didn't seem to notice. She just continued on. Now Kouga really didn't know what to do. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to do something. He just sat there wide eyed as Ayame slowly came closer to his face. Her eyes closed.
Sakura and Houjo not saying a word, just watching in closely for the kiss to happen. Both aware that Kouga was out of his trance.
When their lips locked, Kouga not knowing what else to do kissed her back. When Ayame noticed that Kouga was kissing her back she pushed him away. "Were you awake the whole time?"
"Yeah… but I tired to tell you.." Ayame sat back into her seat blushing madly. "Oh… I didn't know." Sakura patted her on the shoulder saying 'it is ok' and Kouga just shrugged. "Well I think we had better go." said Sakura. "Yea its getting late." replied Houjo. All of them got up and started toward the exit except Kouga. He took one last look at the spot where Sango and Miroku were. They had already left. Kouga just shook his head and ran to catch up with the group.

Inuyasha was the one to brake the kiss. "So that has got to be the best kiss you have ever had am I right?" Inuyasha said as Kagome ran her fingers over her lips. "Well that was my first kiss so I really don't know. No one to compare to." Inuyasha smirked. "Oh I could tell it was your first kiss since it was so bad."
"Oh really?" Kagome lightly hit him as she had done earlier. "Ok so it wasn't THAT bad." Kagome smiled. "Good." Inuyasha looked at his watch. "Well I guess we had better go." Kagome nodded. Inuyasha stood up and held out his hand to Kagome to help her up. Both were laughing as they walked to the car, but the ride home was silent.

"Ayame it is really late, how about you come to the mansion with me? I am sure Mrs. Taisho won't mind." Sakura whispered. Both guys had fallen asleep. "Oh sure." Ayame whispered back unsure of her answer.

Once home Sango and Miroku walked into the mansion, not expecting anyone to be awake but when they walked into the living room they soon found their theory to be wrong. Mrs. Taisho and Mrs. Higurashi were both on the couch waiting for them. When Miroku saw them sitting there he immediately let go of Sango's hand.
"Sango, Miroku there is something we have to tell you. We have to wait till the others get home though." By the sound of Mrs. Taisho's voice Sango could tell that it wasn't good news. "Ok." Sango and Miroku both took a seat on the couch.
About a half an hour later Kouga, Houjo, Sakura, And Ayame entered the living room. "Mrs. Taisho may Ayame stay?" Sakura asked. "Sure why don't you show her to one of the guest rooms and get it ready for her." Sakura gave her thanks and bowed before she took Ayame's arm and led her down a hall. Kouga and Houjo were about to leave to before Mrs. Taisho stopped them.
"I need you guys to stay down here till Kagome and Inuyasha get home. I have something important to tell all of you." Kouga grunted and sat in a chair. Houjo sat on the floor.
About an hour after that Kagome and Inuyasha arrived in the room. "Why are all of you up?" Mrs. Higurashi was the one to answer this time. "Honey, me and Izayoi have something we need to tell you. Why don't you and Inuyasha have a seat." Both sat on the floor seeing as there were no more seats left. "I don't know how to begin this. First I can tell you that I don't think any of you will like what I have to say but Kagome, Sango, Houjo, and Kouga you are going home tomorrow night."
"WHAT!"
AN: Ok I know it is once again short but I am getting hungry and need to grab a snack. At least I added the fluff between Inu/kag that you wanted. Well got to go. Please review.
Later,
Shadow Of A Lost Soul
