Hey peeps! Thank you so much the TWO whole reviewers I have. But, I wasn't expecting alot at first anyway, so I'm still happy.
Um... I'm kinda writing this between school, homework, chores, and some other extra stuff, so if I don't update for a couple of days at a time, then I will make it worth your while to read the chapter.
Okey-Dokey, with that, Chapter 2 is up!
Enjoy!
Chapter 2:
"Well good morning to you too." Kun-Loon said while Kagome walked in to the kitchen. It was just about noon, and Kagome took the advantage of not having to get up for school to try and catch up on her sleep, which she kinda over did.
"Mornin." She mumbled still half-asleep. She felt good sleeping late and giving her body a rest. But at the same time, she felt sore in a way, because she felt like she had slept too long and too hard.
"Want lunch, breakfast, or brunch?" Her mother asked getting dishes out to cook with.
Yawning, Kagome said, "Uhhh... I'd like to have brunch please." Sitting with a goofy-half asleep-yawning-smile on her face. Kagome could tell this was going to be a great day.
Gasping,"Miroku! Why did you just do that?" Sango said blushing and trying to hide a smile showing she actually like the way he just kissed her.
"I'm sorry my dear, I was just returning the attack and finishing it." Miroku said smirking at how he made Sango blush so deeply wtih just a kiss.
"Well, now, you have started a war." Sango said playfully.
"Oh?" the monk said.
"Don't even think like that." She said before he could begin to speak again.
A little ways down the path back to the village, Miroku began to feel the need for a little run.
"Sango. May I ask you a question?" He asked while wadding up his robes to hold them in one hand.
"Well, you already did, so I guess another wouldn't hurt would it?" Sango said looking back at him. Looking as confused as ever, she began to ask:
"What are you doi-"
Miroku cut her off,"Would you like to join me in a race?" He said with a sly grin.
"Hang on a minute and let me think about it." Sango said.
After a moment of 'thinking', she suddenly said,"Wow, it's really warm out here isn't it?" She asked taking off her kimono only to be wearing her exterminator's suit. What she was really doing was taking it off to distract him for a second while she got a head-start.
"Well, it is a bit warm, but for sum-" Miroku was cut off by a light pink kimono blocking his vision and wrapping around his head. Hearing a giggle and some fast footsteps running from him, he took off the cloth and looked to see Sango already a couple of yards in front of him.
"Hey!" he yelled.
"Ha ha. Looks like your gonna get beat by a girl!
"Hey! That's not fair!" He yelled running after her.
"Ladies first!" Sango yelled back once more, fastening her pace to the village.
She couldn't believe how much fun they were having. She wasn't ashamed to show her feelings for Miroku,(even though it was more than obvious), she was just too afraid up to this point. No, Naraku wasn't defeated, but he was weakened every time they fought him. And it seemed to them that he was very weak, considering Sesshomaru had told them that he was having to consume demon bodies for energy and power, and that he had gone into hiding. They were so sure that if they had the chance to fight him again,they could kill him and then maybe they could live in peace once again. Not only herself and Miroku, but also InuYasha and Kagome. She knew they loved each other, they were just waiting as she was. And with only a couple of shards to go, she didn't seem to see a reason not to finally tell Miroku how she felt. She thought he might know already though.
With the village in sight, Sango began to slow down. She walked a couple of feet, stopped, and turned around, thinking that in any second she would see the monk trailing along. But she had a better idea. Jumping behind a tree, she looked around to see nothing but forest.
"I thought he was faster than that." Sango said to herself.
"Oh well. I'll just wait for him and scare him anyways." She chuckled to herself.
"Who?" A voice said feet behind her making her give a little shriek.
Turning around only to see InuYasha and Shippo carrying firewood, her heart began to beat faster with a tiny bit of embarrassment.
"Uh...Um...Noone!" Sango stuttered.
"Sure?" InuYasha said with a non-conveinced look on his face.
"Yeah..." She said only to get the eyebrow from both of them.
InuYasha and Shippo both smelled a tiny hint of Miroku on her due to the tickling.
"Then why are you hiding behind this tree?" InuYasha asked, thinking it amusing to see Sango get frustrated.
"OH!" She said in frustration.
"Me and Miroku were racing. Ok? Happy?" She said turning on heel.
"Is that all you were doing?"
"YES!" she yelled in protest. "Do you have to be so nosy all the time?"
InuYasha turned his head to Shippo who was sitting on his shoulder at the time and smiled. Looking back at Sango who was staring down the path, his smile faded as he remembered Sango and Miroku being at the village when he and Shippo left.
"Shippo, take this wood back to the hut for Kaede. Please." InuYasha said.
The kitsune happily agreed and jumped off his shoulder carrying the wood.
Hearing what InuYasha said to Shippo, and in what tone, turned around to look at him.
"Why did he have to leave?" Sango asked getting a look from the hanyou.
"Sango." He started, having a look making her want to look away. "Were you and Miroku spying on us earlier?"
"Well...Kagome told us to keep an eye on you two, to make sure you didn't hurt Shippo." Sango said hesitently.
"Oh, ok. I'm not mad, I just wanted to know if you saw us acting like we were." InuYasha said, eyes falling to the ground.
"Yes. We did." Pausing for a moment she went on,"We saw you two getting along wonderfully."
"Ok, well, could you tell Kagome that yourself, because I'm not sure she would entirely believe me if I told her." InuYasha said, ears drooping slightly.
"Why wouldn't she?" Sango asked, rather confused.
Looking at her for a moment, trying to figure out something to say to change the subject, he asked:
"Hey, where is your kimono?"
"Um. Oh, I-"
Suddenly hearing someone calling for him, InuYasha said,"Sango watch Shippo." Then bounded into the forest.
Kagome finished up her 'brunch' which consisted of a ham and egg sandwhich with a glass of chocolate milk.(dont know of any japanese foods, so just bare with me.)
"Thanks mom, that was good." She complimented while taking her dishes to the sink.
"Your welcome." Her mom said smiling.
"I'm gonna get in the shower, ok?" Kagome asked, stopping at the foot of the stairs.
"Ok. But are you going to go back afterwards?" Her mom asked.
"Um... I'm not sure, since I don't have to go to school, I guess I might. Or do you want me to hang around?" Kagome asked, leaning on the stair rail.
"No." Her mother said cheerfully, "I just thought you might want to relax while you've got the chance."
"Nah. InuYasha and everyone might be wondering where I am. I didn't tell them how long I was going to be gone this time."
"Ok."
With that, Kagome ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. Not caring a bit, she ripped off her clothes and threw them in the air to land whereever they seemed to fall to.
With a sense of hiperness, Kagome took a shower in record time. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it aroung herself. Walking out of the bathroom into her room, she could hear her mom's busy hands scrubbing away at the clanking dishes. She smiled to herself when she thought, 'I ought to do something nice for her.' 'I know! I should get her a dishwasher!' She knew she could easily buy one, if she could just find somekind of jewel in the fuedal era that might be some kind of value to people in her time.
After getting dressed, she circled her room picking up little things and straightening up her room. She found her yellow backpack and looked it over.
"Man, this thing is over packed." She said dumping it in the middle of her now clean floor. She separated the trash, homework, text books,school supplies, and everything else that was packed down in there for so long. She put her books and homework to one side of her to give to her mom to take back to the school. She knew her friends were going to be crushed and that really did bother her, but now, it all seemed too much to put up with.
She scooped up the books and homework and laid them on her desk. Then she grabbed the trash basket and put everything else in there.
"Okay, that's done." She said to herself.
Taking her books, homework, and backpack, she walked out the room and down the stairs.
"Mom, could you do me a favor, and take these books back to the school?"
"Sure." Her mom answered.
'Now,' Kagome thought, 'Where is the Ramen?' Opening the cupboard door to find exactly what she was looking for, she started smiling. The whole thing was nothing but Ramen.
"I thought you might want to take some back with you." Kun-Loon said standing behind her daughter.
"Thanks Mom." Kagome said and hugged her.
After she couldn't fit anymore Ramen in her backpack, she started to say bye to her mom.
"Mom, I'm leaving now!" Kagome called and heard her mom walk out the living room.
"Okay, well, as always be careful. Hey, why don't you bring your friends by sometime and us have a 'slumber party'?"
"OH! Hey that sounds like fun!" Kagome laughed. "I will, but first I have to get them to agree to come."
"Alrighty then, I'll go and get lots of food and stuff, ok?" Her mother said grabbing her purse and keys.
"But Mom, I might not be home for a couple more days."
"Oh well. Then try to be home by Friday. Kisses!" With that, Kun-Loon blew her daughter a kiss and walked out the door.
"BYE!" Kagome yelled after her.
'Now for the well.' Kagome thought as she picked up the 'suitcase' full of Ramen.
She hurridly ran to the well, her hiperness sparking again.
Climbing out of the well, she could hear someone running up the path. It was Miroku.
"Miroku!" Kagome called as he ran past her.
"Huh?" He tried between breaths.
Kagome climbed the rest of the way out of the well only to see a sweaty monk holding the kimono of a woman. Not just any woman, Kagome knew, but her best friend woman, Sango. Getting the wrong idea, Kagome suddenly smacked Miroku across the face.
"What are you trying to do you pervert!" Kagome yelled.
"Nothing, me and Sango were racing. She threw this at me to distract me while she got a head start." Miroku said too calmly.
"Really? Is that what you call it?" Kagome didn't believe a word he said, especially when he had done so many stunts before.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled as loud as she could.
Seconds later, they saw a red blur bouncing from tree to tree.
"Kagome? What's wrong?" InuYasha yelled trying his hardest to get there. 'I thought she wouldn't be back this soon' He thought while coming to a stop in front of Kagome, ignoring Miroku's existence.
"InuYasha, have you seen Sango anywhere?" Kagome asked as sweetly as she could while still being furiated at the lecherous monk.
"Yeah, she's in the village. She came running in and suddenly stopped and told me that her and Miroku were racing. I forget, but she told me she got a head start, and beat Miroku there." InuYasha said, still not noticing Miroku behind him. (awe, poor Miroku)
"Oh..." Kagome said quietly. "Oopsy..." She said and gently pushed past InuYasha.
"Miroku. I am SOOOO sorry. Please forgive me." Kagome pleaded. She thought about going for a hug, but then thought otherwise.
"Lady Kagome, it is quite alright. I have taken many slaps to the face. I am used to it." Miroku said with a dopey grin on his face making Kagome giggle.
"Let's head back shall we? And I am sure Sango will like to hear how her friend tried to protect her against some lecherous monk." Miroku kidded.
"Yeah, let's go." InuYasha said.
"So Kagome, why are you back so soon?" InuYasha asked a few minutes later while still walking.
"Oh, I don't know. I quit school and didn't have anything else to do I guess." Kagome said with a smile.
Walking into the hut where Sango and Shippo sat talking, Miroku walked in with a faded handprint.
Seeing the look on Sango's face, InuYasha said,"Wait till you hear this!"
"Mommy!" Shippo exclaimed jumping into his mother's arms.
"Hello Shippo, hello Sango."
"Hello."
Kagome sat Shippo down, while she sat down herself, and asked everyone how their day had been. InuYasha blushed at how Kagome reacted to when she heard how InuYasha had bonded so greatly the day. And Miroku and Sango both blushed when they told their story about what happend with them that day.
"I was going to get him back somehow." Sango fakeingly said. She already had a plan to get Miroku back for his little 'attack'.
And Miroku was waiting for his own 'battle plan' to unfold.
While InuYasha and Shippo were gathering firewood, they were plotting their own little plan to get Kagome and tickle her.
This was going to be a great week after all.
END
Author's note: Yeah, Yeah, I know, I know. There is a LOT of Miroku and Sango fluffnes. But hey, not enought stories have that. And yes, I promise InuYasha and Kagome will have ple-enty of fluffness. So just hang in there for me, K?
