Chapter 25.

Quick Recap

Mrs. Taisho had a very disappointed and mad look on her face. "You could have at least told me you were in a better mood before you told Miroku. And you'll need these." She reached in her pocket and pulled out two tickets.

"How did you know?" Inuyasha said shocked taking the tickets. "Well a mother always knows. I had planned on getting the tickets a long time ago. I was planning on calling Kagome today and I was hoping you would listen in. By the way next time you listen in try to be a little quieter. Kagome was getting suspicious."

"So when does our plane leave?"

"In two hours you better go. I suppose Miroku already has the limo ready for you." Inuyasha ran out the door not another word was spoken.

"Oh it is so depressing how they grow up so fast." Mrs. Taisho said wiping a tear from her face. Oh well at least now she had the house to herself.

Miroku and Inuyasha got there just in time. They got on their plane. "Kagome here I come."

Back to present Time

"So Sango let me get this straight Miroku told you that he was coming to stay at your house for two weeks?" Kagome and Sango were walking to school. Well… at least Kagome was walking, Sango was more like bouncing.

"Yeah when he was talking to me on the phone last night Shippou screamed out in the background. I heard him say something about Miroku coming to Japan. So I questioned about it and he said he was! I can't believe this I am so excited! He said he would be here next month on the fourteenth." A speck of hope rose in Kagome. Surely Miroku wouldn't travel alone, maybe Inuyasha would be coming to stay also. There was only one way to find out though.

When she snapped out of thought Sango was still talking. This time she was talking about all the 'fun' stuff they could do when he got there. Kagome poked her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Sango will Inuyasha be coming to?" Sango's expression changed and she wasn't bouncing anymore.

"I asked Miroku and he said he wasn't. He tried to talk him into it, he really did. I'm sure it not because of you, it is probably because he is afraid to fly on planes." Kagome put a fake smile on, but inside she was disappointed more then she ever had been in her life. She felt she could hear her heart break too.

"No. I know Sango. It probably is the plane."

"Well here we are. Kagome you prepared for another day of boring high school? Actually I take that back here comes Houjo. Your day is going to be way more exciting then I thought."

"Kagome have you talked to Sakura lately?" Houjo asked with a hopeful look on his face.

" No.. Sorry Houjo but I haven't."

"Oh... well in that case, would you mind being my temporary girlfriend? It is lonely being single you know. It will only be for a while. Please Kagome." The look on his face did look pathetic and it did look like he was pleading. She felt bad for him for a second but after that a completely different emotion took over.

The plane ride was completely uneventful if you didn't count the times Miroku tried to grope a model that was flying to Japan to see her friend. Well to tell you the truth the plane trip actually was eventful but Miroku would never admit to that.

The model grew tired of Miroku trying to grope her so she switched places with this fifty year old plump lady.( I hope this does not offend anyone. If it did, I am sorry. I don't mean to.) Miroku who was sitting directly behind where the model once sat could not tell that the model no longer sat there. There was a little space just big enough for Miroku to slip his hand in, between the cushions and the back of the seat. 'yea now she wont know what's coming to her' thought Miroku as he grabbed and squeezed the 'so called models bottom. The whole time the real model was watching from a safe distance.

The plump lady got up from her seat to see who had touched her. "OOh now aren't we handsome."

Miroku squealed. "Oh no what has happened to you my beautiful model?"

"Oh you think I'm a model." The lady giggled. "How delightful. It has been years since anyone ever told me I was beautiful." Her eyes glazed over as she went into her little world of memories. However she was snapped out when she saw Miroku trying to escape. "Oh what's the matter? Don't you want to spend some personal time with me?" She bent over and kissed him all over the face. Then she looked over at Inuyasha who was reading a book and trying to not burst out laughing at Miroku. 'Hah he finally gets what he deserves.' "Young man would you mind trading me seats? I'd love to get to know your friend." Inuyasha nodded and the lady moved so Inuyasha could get out of his seat. Miroku was begging him not to go but Inuyasha laughed at him, winked his eye, and sat in the seat the lady who was harassing Miroku once resided in. "So lets get down to business." Miroku whimpered wishing he could be anywhere else but here right now. This was going to be one long plane ride for him.

Inuyasha sat in his new seat, reading his book once again till he was interrupted. "Do you think I went a little too hard on your friend?" Inuyasha looked up from his book to see who was talking to him only to find it was the real model.

"Actually I thought it was a good plan. Miroku deserves this. He shouldn't have been touching anyone in the first place, he is engaged." The model giggled and looked over the seat to see the plump lady whose name was obviously Agnus due to her name tag, snuggling up to Miroku. Miroku was showing her his engagement ring, trying to explain to her that he is engaged.

Agnus shook her head. "That didn't stop you from groping me and it certainly isn't going to stop me from getting what I want." then she winked and started kissing him all over the face again.

"Well it seems like they are having fun. Maybe you should warn the woman of whom he is engaged to that he is a perverted cheater."

"Miroku wouldn't cheat on Sango. He is a letch and has wondering hands, but he would never cheat on her. Especially after this incident I would be surprised if he gropes another woman again." Inuyasha thought on what he had just said. "Nah that would be too good to be true."

The model giggled. "I like you your funny. Want to be friends? By the way my name is Michelle. What is yours?"

"My name is Inuyasha and sure, I guess we could be friends."

"So why are you going to Japan?" asked the model.

Inuyasha blushed not really wanting to discuss it with a stranger but hey he owed it to this girl for teaching his friend a very important lesson. "Well to make a long story short, I fell in love with this girl and I was stupid and watched her leave not even doing anything about it. Now I am going after her to tell her how much I love her."

"Awe that is soo romantic."

"So why are you going to Japan?" Inuyasha asked.

"I am going to go see a friend who lives in Tokyo and I am hoping to get a job offer.'' Michelle said with a bright smile. She was a bubbly, always happy type of person. Inuyasha thought that to be weird. Now adays it was rare to come across a person with such a personality. Yea Kagome was bubbly, but not like this girl. It seemed like nothing could bring this girl down.

"So what kind of job are you looking for in Tokyo?'' Michelle blushed. Her face turned completely red. She turned her face out the window not saying a thing. "Your not a …..'' Inuyasha didn't finish that statement for he knew he didn't need to.

"No. No of course not." She was still blushing, but not as bad. "I'm an underwear model." Inuyasha was a bit shocked.

"Oh…"

"So what is this lucky girls name?''

"Her name is Kagome Higurashi."

"Oh what a wonderful name." The both of them chatted the whole way to Japan. While Miroku was going through the worst torture he ever thought possible in his entire life. Neither of them aware or the surprise awaiting them inside their luggage.

The emotion Kagome felt at that moment was an uncontrolled love. She was happy that this man had accepted her after all the time she had turned him down. She pounced on him kissing him. "I love you…"

Ok now for WHAT REALLY HAPPEND

Houjo was rolling on the ground clutching his most private possession.

"That's what you get. You… You… sick pig. I could never do that to Sakura." Houjo cried like a baby as he rolled on the ground.

"Kagome maybe that was a little harsh."

"No Sango it is what he deserved."

"OK ok" Sango said holding her hands up in defense just making sure that you weren't taking all your anger out on Houjo." The two girls walked off leaving Houjo to whimper to himself.

"Hey Inuyasha I thought that we were going to Kagome's House as soon as we got to Japan?'' After Inuyasha and Miroku got off the plane Inuyasha who had previously rented a car was driving the opposite way from Kagome's house.

"Change in plans."

"What! But our original plan was really good."

"Miroku we cant just go to their school and expect the principal to let us interrupt their classes just so we can see them." Inuyasha parked the car in from of this really big building. "Now get out we're here." Inuyasha took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello Mrs. Higurashi….." (I don't want to reveal the conversation it will be a surprise.) "Yea thank you Mrs. Higurashi. I owe you one."

"Inuyasha I think we need to call mom, she told us to call her when we get here." Inuyasha threw the phone to Miroku. "The batteries are dead" He shrugged.

Kagome was really happy when she heard the last bell of the day ring. Finally she could go home. She knew her grades were slipping rapidly but what was she to do. Her mind was constantly on Inuyasha she missed that big jerk so much. She walked out of the school doors to see Sango waving her over.

"Kagome your mom is here and she is picking us up." Sango said once Kagome was in hearing range.

"Moms picking us up? Why? She never told me anything about this." Mrs. Higurashi honked her horn.

"I don't know Kagome, but I think we better hurry." Sango grabbed her arm and ran for the car.

When they got in the car they didn't even have time to buckle up before Mrs.Higurashi pressed her foot on the peddle as hard as she could.

"Mom! Slow down!" Kagome screamed as she finally was able to get her seat belt on."why are you in sucha hurry, are you ok?"

Kagome's mom turned around her eyes completelyoff the road, there was a big smile on her face. "Why every thing is great. Perfectly fine. No, it is better then fine its..."

"Mom get your eyes on the road watch out!" Kagome screamed as her mom causually turned around. The whole while Sango did not say a word she just sat there staring at the roof of the car praying to god that she came out of this alive.

The car must have been going about eighty miles an hour so when she suddenly put on the breaks you could probably imagine how far Sango and Kagome flew. Even though they had their seatbelts on all that did for her is slow her down a bit but she still hit the back of the passenger seat. "Mom why were you driving so quick? You could have killed us all."

Kagome's mom just ignored her and got out of the car her smile never fading. "Aren't you two going to get out?" Then she started to walk away.

Sango got out of the car. Both Kagome and Sango were as confused as ever. Why was their mom acting like this, and why were they parked in the grass of some unknown place? "Mom where are we?"

Her mom stopped and turned around for a fraction of a second and looked at her daughter. "You'll have to wait and see."

Sango didnt know what all this was about but she was just happy that Kagome's mind was not on Inuyasha. She began to believe that this was the whole idea of this weird expedition Mrs. Higurashiwas takingthem on. That was until Mrs. Higurashi led them into a grassy knoll filled with flowers. Sango looked at her friend her head was lowered. 'this must remind her of that one Inuyasha took her on. I should have told Mrs. Higurashi about it?'

Sango was interupted from her thoughts when Mrs. Higurashi turned around. "What is the matter Kagome?" For a few minutes Kagome didnt say anything and when she did it was almost a whisper.

"Inuyasha took me to a place like this once." You would think that when a mother see her daughter in pain like that she would get upset but instead it seemed to make her happier, her smile even broadened.

"We are almost there."

Sango turned to Kagome and whispered in her ear. "I think there is something seriously wrong with your mom, she is acting all weird." Kagome who was not really paying attention just nodded.

"Ahh here we are." Mrs. Higurashi sat down on a picnic blanket and started to take things out. "Girls come on have a seat." Sango hesitantly walked over and had a seat next to Mrs. Higurashi.

"I think i know what this is all about." Mrs. Higurashi started to get worried. "I think it is really thoughtful of you to try and take Kgomes mind off things for a while." Mrs. higurashi sighed with relief and her big smile was back on her face.

"Come on Kagome. We wont bite." Kagome sat down to. Mrs. Higurashi was emptying the picnic basket. She took out napkins, plastic ware, cups, and oddly four plates.

"Mom whyis there an extra plate?" Kagome asked but her question was left unanswered.

Come on Miroku we have to go we are going to be late. Get off your lazy bum and lets get going."Miroku didnt falter he just kept where he was.

"Inuyasha something weird is happening."

"You know Miroku i could care less right now."

"No Inuyasha, our suitcase is moving."

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha walked over and looked at the suitcase. It really was moving. "What the... Miroku open it up."

Miroku backed up. "No you open it."

Inuyasha reached out and unclasped the suitcase. A little orange ball flew out. "Finally one of you knuckle heads have let me out. I've been in there for hours."

"Shippou what are you doing here!

"I snuck in the suit case."

"Shippou that was a foolish thing to do. Just think how upset mom must be."

"No Miroku it was part of her plan to send me along she told me... 'now be quiet and be careful Shippou i am only sending you along so you can tell me all the juicy details' then her eyes got all teary. she said 'My little boys are finally becoming men.'"

"Fine! Shippou but you are not coming with us." Inuyasha angry that Shippou had snuck into the suitcase grabbed Miroku by the collar. "Come on we are going to be late and i need to stop by the store and pick up a few things.

When they got to the store Inuyasha shoved a fifty in Miroku's hands. "Go in and stuff you eat at picnics."

"Why can't you get it."

"Cause i dont do that stuff. Now go!" Miroku did as told he knew his brother was really nervous and that was why he was so irritable so he let it slip with out arrgument this one time. Fifteen minutes laterMiroku cameback with three bags filled with food.

Mrs. Higurashi poored her self and the girls a glass of coke. (i dont own coke) "Mrs. Higurashi is this all we are having?"

"You know what girls i was thinking, how about we all go for a walk around the lake before we eat. "She pushed away some tree branches and the girls saw a lake not far away. Reluctently they got up. 'what is taking them so long' thought Mrs. Higurashi as she started her walk around the water.

After circling the lake three times they returned to where the picnic was set up and what they found there was most surprising.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Inuyasha parked and helped Miroku get everything settled. Once that was done he sat down. "Inuyasha dont be so nervous it will all be ok."

He was about to scream at Mirokutelling himhe wasnt nervous but that wasbefore he saw her. "Kagome..."

"Good we are all her now we can start our picnic!" exclaimed Mrs. Higurashi.

When Kagome saw him she wanted to run to him, hug him,and sobb on his shoulder, telling him how much she has missed him but that all changed when she remembered what he had said to her the day before she was to leave. Instead she just sat down quietly as Mrs. Higurashi passed out the food.

However the reaction was different for Sango. As soon as she laid eyes on Miroku she did fly into his arms. They both were just staring at each other for a few seconds before they kissed and told eachother how truely much they loved one another, before Mrs. Higurashi cleared her throat to interupt them so they would eat. "Well i guess i had better get going. I need to pick Souta up from his soccer game." Mrs. Higurashi got up and left but no one really noticed everyones minds were on different things.

After everyone had finished Sango noticed that Kagome had barely touched her food. She also noticed Kagome and Inuyasha hadnt talked at all, she asked a couple times why knowing perfectly well the reason but kagome would not answer.

Kagome sat there wishing she was anywhere but where she was now, when she saw a shadow looming over her. She didnt look to see who it was thinking it was only Sango until that person spoke.

"Kagome can we talk."

She really wanted to say no to him. She felt like getting up kicking him really hard and walking away but when she saw the look on his face she stood up and followed him.

They walked for a while in silence. Till he came to a rock right next to the lake. It was big enough for both of them to sit on and it was so close to the water that you could put your feet into it. He climed up the rock and sat down she did the same. The silence continued for a few minutes as he stared out at the lake.

"You know i didnt mean the things i said. I let pride get in the way. I didnt want people to know how upset i was. I never stopped thinking about you since you left. I love you Kagome." Inuyasha looked from the water to look at Kagome but she had her head turned the other way.

"How can I trust you wont let your pride get in the way again?" Inuyasha's hopeful eyes dimmed. He didnt care anymore if he showed his emotions.

"How can i Prove it to you?" He touched her chin, moving it so that she faced him. He leaned in and placed a delicated kiss on her lips then stood up on the rock, got down on one knee, and took Kagome's hand into his. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He opened it. "Kagome will you marry me."

All the anger she once felt toward him melted away as those words left his lips still drifting through her head. She threw herself into him this time not stopping herself. She was crying into his shoulder. A couple minutes passed of him conforting her before she quit crying and looked into his eyes. "I am sorry too Inuyasha. I love you soo much. I would love to be your wife." They embraced again and Shared many passionant kisses before they decided it was time to go home. The whole walk to the car Kagome was thinking about how this was the best day of her life and how she would alway remember it.

When they got to the car they saw Sango and Miroku kissing in the back so Kagome got into the passengers seat. "Kagome i will live here with you."

"What i can't ask you to do that!"

"Your aren't, it is what i want. I will go back home for a couple of weeks then i will start looking for a house." Kagome was going to argue more about it but the words never left her mouth."

"Sango it is your big day at last."

"I know Kagome and i am so nervous. Does my dress look ok? Is my hair still good." Kagome looked over her dress and hair. She laid a supportive hand on her friends shoulder.

"Dont worry Sango you look great."

"Yeah i am going to be saying that in a few weeks at your wedding and i am expecting you to calm down too."

"The wedding Music is playing you better get out there." Sango gathered up her dress and took the boquet her friend was holding out to her then she stared her walk down the ile to her beloved as Kagome resumed her place with the other bride's maids.

After the wedding was over Shippou ran around looking for Kagome or Inuyasha or somebody to tell him where the restroom was. He found them but they were were all loveydovey. Without thinking he said out loud. "Yuck how long are you guys going to suck on each others faces?"

Both couples broke apart and ran to Shippou. The two girls rapped him up in a hugg. "Awe we love you too Shippou." They said as they covered his face in kisses. He just rolled his eyes and exclamed as he supported his chin on the palm of his hand. "Oh Brother!"

Miroku stood in the back. "But what about me?"
