Penalty Box

Chapter 5

Kagome walked to her room glaring at the empty space in front of her. 'Fall in love...2 weeks...stupid...law thing...grr...' she thought as she entered her room. Too bad she didn't notice who was in her room. She walked over to her bed grumbling about stupid laws and fell face first into her fluffy, comfy, squishy bed.

"You know Kagome, it's not healthy to talk to yourself." Sango said as she smiled at Kagome's head. Kagome screamed in surprise and fell backwards on to her floor. "Oww...SANGO! Why'd you scare me like that?!" she complained rubbing her sore head while glaring at Sango. Sango smiled innocently. "It's not my fault when you don't realize that someone was already in here before you came in."

Kagome blinked once...then twice...then three times...then four times. "You were in my room?" Kagome asked. Sango sweat dropped and fell down anime style. She slowly grabbed for the edge of the bed that she was sitting on and sat back down. "KAGOME!!" she screamed. Kagome backed away and put her hands up in defense. "Sorry Sango! No need to scream!" Sango huffed and turned around. "So did your mom give you the whole queen, marriage talk when you were in her room?"

Kagome starred at Sango. "How did you know?" she asked. Sango smirked. "I know because I was being a very nosy little girl." "Then why are you asking?" "Just wondering...so, how long do you have to fall in love?" Kagome glared angrily at her floor before speaking. "Two weeks..." "And at the end of the time, it's your birthday...hm, interesting." Kagome looked at Sango surprised.

"What are you talking about INTERESTING?! HUH?! That's not INTERESTING! It's pure TORTURE!!!" she screamed standing up screaming at Sango, and in turn, Sango's ponytail flew back while Sango had her eyebrow lifted. "Please don't yell Kagome. You'll attract attention." Kagome huffed and turned around stubbornly putting her nose in the air. Sango sweat dropped at the site. "Um...Kagome, don't you think you're being a little too dramatic? I mean...it's two weeks. It can't take THAT long!" Sango said cheerfully.

Kagome looked at Sango with pain filled eyes. Sango looked back at her with a small smile. "I'm sorry Kagome...for bringing it up." Kagome shook her head and sat back down on her bed. She grabbed Sango's hands and smiled. "It's not your fault. I should've listened to you, Botan, Keiko, Yukina, and my mother before. If I did, I would never have gotten myself in that trouble. Don't worry about it! It's all in the past and now, I know who I can trust and who I can't trust so don't worry!" Kagome said with a smile. Sango looked at her and slowly smiled softly. "Yeah...I guess."

"Hey...isn't the coronation ball on your birthday as well?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah...ew...I never was a dancer...damn."

Sango giggled. "Now that's no way for a princess to talk that way!" Sango scolded playfully. Kagome grinned. "I'm so sorry mother...I just couldn't help myself! I simply just NEEDED to let my anger out!" Kagome said bowing with a smile. They both giggled slightly before they saw back down on the bed. "Hey Kagome...guess what?" "What?"

"Miroku told me...he told me he loved me." Sango said. She waited patiently for Kagome to answer. She soon grew impatient as Kagome was still silent. "Are you-""OH MY GOSH! Are you serious?! AH!! I knew he would tell you soon but I didn't know it was this soon! What was your answer?!" Kagome asked eagerly. Sango's mouth parted but then she signed and shook her head. Kagome's happy smile turned completely upside down and her hands fell to her sides.

"What the heck does this shakes her head mean?! You said you didn't like him back?!" Kagome screeched. Sango covered her ears and put a finger to her mouth. "Shut up! And I didn't say I didn't like him! I just...I just told him that I don't know...and he told me that he would wait for my answer...you know how he's a pervert and all. What if he cheats on me?! What if he gets me pregnant and then leave me and the child?! KAGOME! I just don't know what to do..." Sango whispered with her head down. Kagome starred at Sango with surprise clearly written on her face.

She shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry Sango...he would never cheat on you and...that other thing. I promise he wouldn't! And if he did any of those things, you would simply beat him to a pulp! I'm sure he will keep on loving you no matter what happens...even if you say no, you're a dear friend to him and he won't ever hurt you in anyway...and if he did, I'LL KILL THAT IDIOT!" Kagome said shaking a fist into the air with a determined look to emphasize her point.

Sango giggled at the sight of Kagome and it reminded her of Kagome's brother in law. "Thanks a lot Kagome...it all means a lot to me. I just don't know what's going on inside of me...half of me is still scared and the other half is telling me that I actually love the damn pervert..." Kagome smiled brightly. "He'll give you some time and until then, he'll keep on waiting for however how long it takes you to answer...he'll wait no matter what okay darling?" she said.

Sango giggled at the fact that Kagome called her 'darling'. She nodded and stood up from the bed. "Let's go get ready for dinner! I'm starving! We never got to eat last night did we?" Kagome's stomach growl was enough of an answer. When they opened the door, they were surprised to find Hiei leaning against the opposite wall. "Er...Hiei? Did you hear anything we said?" Kagome asked. Hiei looked up and said "I wouldn't care about a single thing you said."

Kagome and Sango looked at each other and smiled. "Well...seems like he did hear..." Sango said walked beside Kagome. She nodded. "He won't tell anyone though...right Hiei?!" Kagome asked running to walk beside Hiei smiling up at him. He looked at her from the corner of his eye and smirked. Kagome stopped and got in a 'thinking' position. "I take that as a no." Sango said and walked past Kagome. Kagome nodded and ran to keep up with her two friends.

Botan sweat dropped, Yukina half-smiled, and Keiko's hands were aching to slap Yusuke and Kuwabara upside the head. Wondering why? Well, let's do it from someone else's point of view!

Keiko's POV

God that Yusuke...he's eating like a pig! Hell, he's probably a pig in disguise! He's not suppose to eat like that when he's around the Lady's and King...why I oughta punch the living daylights out of him...

I slowly drank my tea and 'accidentally' kick Yusuke's chair backwards and like I thought, Kuwabara went with him for he grabbed onto that idiot's chair. I looked down at him and smiled innocently. "What's wrong Yusuke? Are you okay? Do you feel like lying down now all of a sudden like the pig you are?" I asked and smirked afterwards, which greatly surprised me.

He glared at me and I gave him one last kick in the side before Lady Kisa spoke up. "Erm...Keiko? I think he's had enough..." she said. I looked at her and Lady Izayoi spoke up. "He has been on the fields almost all day so he must be starving like...um...what's his name...Kuwabara is!"

"You must admit, they were eating like pigs." Lord Inutaisho said eating his mashed potatoes. Lady Izayoi whacked him on the shoulder and scolded him. "Be quiet honey." She hissed. Lord Inutaisho looked at her surprised. "What? It's the truth!" he said defending himself. Then Lady Izayoi pulled on his youkai ear to her level and everyone heard her hiss "Well must you be so truthful?"

Lord Inutaisho pulled his head away and nodded. "Of course I have to, I am a LORD after all." And he resumed to eating his food. Lady Izayoi glared at him but then soon smiled at Yusuke who, to my unknowing, sat back on his seat. Fortunately, Kuwabaka is still on the ground. That's good, one less pig I have to worry about! "Don't mind him Yusuke! My husband is just like that!" and then all of a sudden, Inutaisho's chair flipped back and along with the chair, Inutaisho did as well. He landed face first into the marble floor. He lifted his head and I saw him glare at Lady Izayoi, Lady Kisa, Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku.

Inuyasha snickered, Miroku acted innocent, and Sango and Kagome stuffed food into their mouth keeping them from bursting out in laughter. Lady Izayoi beckoned a maid over to clean up Inutaisho's 'mess'. Inutaisho quickly got up and glared at his wife. She looked back at him and smiled oh so innocently. "If you are done with your food now honey, why don't you go have some plan sharing with Sesshomaru hm?"

Normal POV

Inutaisho grumbled and left the dining room. "Erm...was that actually necessary Lady Izayoi?" Kurama asked nervously. She smiled at him. "Of course not darling...but it must be done! Now excuse me while I go confront my husband." She said and left the maids to clean her area. Lady Kisa got up as well and nodded and followed Izayoi. When the doors were closed, the people inside the dining room sweat dropped as they heard the very 'mature' ladies burst out in laughter.

"My my...looks like someone is high on sugar." Botan said with bored eyes. She used her fork to pick at her peas. "Kuwabara, I believe it's time for another lesson in cooking..." Yukina said quietly. She quickly, and quietly, got out of her seat and Kuwabara followed her eagerly nodding and smiling.

"Kuwabara lessons? HAHAHAHAHA!" Yusuke said and burst out laughing. Keiko's veins started to pop out (when you think about it, it's kinda freaky and scary...) and she whacked Yusuke in the head, making him unconscious. "Excuse us..." she said and grabbed Yusuke by the ear and dragged him out with her. The maids immediately cleaned up Yukina, Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara's plate and left as quietly as they came in.

"You know what? Keiko has never been so...so...so un-Keiko!" Botan said looking at Kagome and Sango. They both nodded. "You mean the Keiko has never acted that way before? Even when Yusuke wasn't here?" Kurama asked. The girls nodded. "I mean, she only got like that whenever she was REALLY pissed off but just then, she was NOT pissed off." Kagome said.

"Just plain annoyed by Yusuke's tactics." Sango continued. "HENTAI!" she suddenly screamed smacking Miroku in the face. "Why dear Sango? Why did you ever slap me?" He asked oh-so-innocently. She glared at him. "No wonder you were so quiet! You were looking for the perfect opportunity to grope me! You PERVERT!" she screamed.

Miroku smiled and waved his hands in front of him for defense. "Come on Sango! Back to Keiko...so are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Kagome asked smiling slyly.

Sango and Botan looked at each other and nodded. "Definitely..." they both said at the exact same time. The girls did a triple high-five and smiled. "Do you boys plan to help?" Botan asked looking at Kurama, Hiei, then to Miroku. "Don't bother asking Miroku...he already knows what to do." Sango said nudging Miroku. "Isn't that correct?" Miroku smiled and nodded. "I'll be on my way now...please do excuse me." he said and left the dining room.

"How about you Kurama and Hiei?" Sango asked. The boys looked at each other then at the girls. "Sure...why not? Could be fun." Kurama said. "Hn" was Hiei's answer.
