After that, it didn't matter who was last out the door. They all stayed in to clean. Except of course, Kagome, Sango, Riza, Winry and Ayame. They got to sit in the grass in the yard.
"Alright, Riza. Spill." Winry said as soon as they sat down.
"About what?" Riza had practice hiding emotions.
But Kagome had more practice finding emotion.
"You know. You and Roy didn't make a single sound during that whole meal."
"Yeah, I noticed that." Ayame said." You just kinda stared at your plate."
"Well..." Riza started.
" Spill !" They all screamed in unision.
"Roy asked me to go out with him while we were cooking, but I asked for some time to think."
"WHAT?"
Riza stared off into space while they bombared her with questions. That never actually made sense.
"How did..."
"Why would..."
"You said..."
"Interesting couple." Sango, who had kept her mouth shut.
"YOU should talk. Practice what you preach, Sango." Kagome interjected.
"W-w-what do you mean?" Sango said. Kagome notices everything, doesn't she?
"You couldn't keep your eyes of Kouga." Ayame said. She noticed it a few times as well.
"Admit it Sango." Winry sighed. "You like Kouga. SAY IT."
Then a distraction walked up the road. And it happened to have a white, fluffy tail, that had three small children clinging to it.
"Hi, Shippou!" Kagome said brightly.
"Hi, Kagome!" He yelled back, right at Sesshomaru's ear.
"Stop yelling."
"Sorry!"
Shippou hopped down, followed by Rin and Kohaku.
"Hi sis."
"Hey Kohaku." Sango replied to her younger brother.
Rin was practically skipping with joy. But she didn't say a word. She just kept glancing at Kohaku, and laugh. Kohaku would look back at her, and he'd laugh.
"Geeze Rin, did Sesshomaru give you laughing gas or what?" Riza teased.
"Tell you later!" She replied mischeviously.
"There's some food left in the kitchen for you, Sesshomaru."
"Good. I'll be back later to take you home, Rin."
" 'K !"
