How's this for exciting people? What do you think will happen? God I wish I knew... Oh and also, to Ashuri-baka, thank you for the idea, but I can't use it, sorry!

Kagome was the first person to awake from their little group that fine spring morning. However, that wouldn't be true for long, since the summer festival was in four days. She gave a light stretch and lifted herself from the comfort of her sleeping bag. She walked at a slow pace since she was still drowsy, though she knew that she had to get up. It was time to cook.

She began to go through her bag to find some things that she could make when she came across the garment that Sango was making. She quickly looked at her friend who was sleeping sitting up against a tree by herself. Kagome turned her attention back to the beautiful silk. It was obviously almost completed, and now it needed just a few finishing touches. She smiled at her friend's work with great pride.

'I wish I could make something like this...' she thought. She put the kimono back in her bag as she had found it and sighed. There wasn't anything in her bag.

Time to look for food.

She got up reluctantly for the second time that morning and headed off into the forest to looks for some mushrooms that they could eat. Kagome couldn't have been searching for more than five minutes when she came to a wonderful tree. If Kagome didn't know any better, she'd mistake it for the Sacred Tree itself. She began to circle the tree to get a look at it from every angle. Kagome touched the bark which was rather smooth and closed her eyes.

'When I have my eyes like this, it's almost like...'

"Kagome, what are you doing here?" asked a familiar voice. Kagome immediately snapped out of her little world and looked behind her. It was Miroku.

"Miroku, I was looking for some food for breakfast. What are you doing out here?" she asked. Miroku gave a slick smile.

"Just getting making sure things will go well." He said. Kagome gave him a confused look. What was he trying to do?

"Kagome, I need to ask you a favor..."

When she awoke, Sango couldn't help but notice that she was all alone. Miroku had left. Feeling a bit down, she rubbed her eyes.

'I wonder where he went...' She looked over and saw Minoru sleeping by himself close to the fire. She grew a small frown.

'Why is everything so complicated?' She thought. She got up and walked over to the tree in which Inuyasha was sleeping. She gave it a bit of a shake to get him up.

"Inuyasha!" she called. He gave an annoyed moan as he flicked open one eye.

"Sango...what do you want?" he asked. He sat up and gave a long stretch.

"Inuyasha, can you tell me where Miroku is?" he gave hr a look as if she was stupid.

"I've been sleeping, how should I know?"

"Can you smell where he is I mean?" He took a couple of whiffs from the air.

"He's not far, he's in the forest. Now go back to sleep, it's too early." And he slumped back into the branch. She sighed and figured that she might as well wait for him to return.

It didn't take long though, maybe only two minutes until he returned from the woods with Kagome. As they walked in, she couldn't help but listen in on the end of their conversation.

"Thank you very much Kagome." He was saying

"No problem. Anything to help." She walked in with a small bundle of mushrooms and berries to eat for breakfast. As she got started preparing everything, Sango walked over to Miroku to find out where he had been.

"Sango! I'm so glad you're awake! After we eat we can start the day together!" Miroku seemed so enthusiastic about today.

Of course, today they were going to be together all day, just like he'd said! Sango suddenly got butterflies in her stomach. She really was getting excited now.

"What are we going to do?" she asked. He closed his eyes, put his finger to his lips and shook his head.

"It's a secret." He said opening one eye to look at her. She gave him a little playful shove as if to say 'no fair'.

Kagome looked over at Sango and Miroku

"Could you wake the others up? Food's ready." She had arranged everything in a small pile that every one could pick from. Sango went over to wake Minoru as Miroku went in the opposite direction and went to get Inuyasha.

Sango approached Minoru's sleeping frame and gave his shoulder a light shake. He turned over and tried to brush her off, but she persisted and he eventually opened his eyes.

"Minoru get up, it's time to eat." He sat up and looked at Sango as a smile spread across his face.

"I wish that I could be woken by you everyday." She blushed and turned away. Today was not the day for Minoru to be flirting with her. She got up and walked back to where Kagome had prepared the small feast for everyone to eat. Miroku returned not long after with a small lump on his head and a very annoyed Inuyasha.

As he sat down next to Sango, she asked

"What happened?" Miroku merely sighed and said

"Inuyasha is not a morning person."

After finishing the meal, Sango was more anxious than ever to get the whole thing started with Miroku. She got up and brought Miroku with her.

"Let's get started!" she said excitedly. He gave a small laugh.

"As you wish." He took her hand and took her into the forest. Minoru was just as confused as ever.

"What just happened?" he said. Kagome brought her hand to her mouth and laughed.

"Today it's Miroku's turn to show Sango a good time." Inuyasha gave a huff

"What's the lecher going to do, let her slap him all day?" Kagome hit him on the head.

"No moron. He's actually going to take her on a date like a normal person. Nothing perverted. He showed me everything this morning when we ran into each other." Inuyasha shrugged and got up.

"Well if they're going to be gone all day, we might as well see if we can find any information about the jewel or Naraku in the village." Kagome nodded and got up to follow him. As they prepared to leave, Minoru was cooking up something bad in his mind. He smirked at the idea, and just as Kagome and Inuyasha were about to leave

"Hey, would it be alright if I tagged along with you guys?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha who gave a 'whatever' nod.

"Sure Minoru, come on. The more info we can get, the better."

With Sango and Miroku, nothing had started yet. They were just walking. Sango was getting curious, so she decided to ask

"Miroku, where are we going?" He smiled and replied

"We're almost there." He said. They came to a wall made of bushes.

"Miroku, it's a dead end." She said.

"Are you sure?" She looked again at the wall, and she could see slightly over it. There was water falling...A waterfall? She pushed through the leaves and branches and came out on the other side. There, she found an amazing sight.

A crystal clear lake with a waterfall just as clear. There were some visible fish in the water, but that just made it all the more beautiful. She covered her mouth with her hands. Miroku came through not long after her, very satisfied with her reaction.

"I take it you like?" She immediately regained composer and blushed a little.

"Yeah it's...nice." He began to circle her a bit.

"It's only nice?" he asked. She laughed and replied

"Fine. It's really nice. Are you happy?"

He stopped circling her and walked over to the water.

"You know..." he began, "I actually found out about a legend that goes with this lake." Sango walked over beside him and squatted down near the water.

"Really? What does it say?"

"The people who live in that village nearby believe that if two people get married here, their love will last forever."

Sango stood up to look at Miroku.

"You want to do it here?" she asked. He nodded.

"You like it right? I thought that this would be a good spot." he looked over the lake again.

"It's in four days..." she was getting excited again. Only four days and she could be with Miroku forever. She took his hand in her own and smiled.

"I can't wait." Miroku returned the smile.

"I'm glad."

Back with the other half of the group, they were just arriving at the village.

"Alright, Minoru you take the southern side of the village, Inuyasha you take the middle, and I'll take the northern. We can meet back at the campsite when we're done, agreed?" The men nodded in approval and everyone headed off to get their info. Minoru made sure that the two were no where around when he went into the middle of the village instead of the southern part. He needed a girl. Not just any girl though, he needed a girl with sex appeal. He needed a brothel girl, the first step of his plan.

Kagome wasn't really doing any work either. She wanted to find a nice wedding present for Miroku and Sango. However, she was having no luck. There just didn't seem to be anything that was right for them.

"There must be something I can..." it hit her so fast she almost fell over. It was perfect! Unfortunately, she would have to get back to her era to get it. She needed speed.

Inuyasha.

She immediately sped off to go find him.

The only person dense enough to work, Inuyasha, was having no luck getting any information. He was getting pretty annoyed at this point and was just considering going back, when he heard Kagome yelling his name. She arrived not long after he heard his name. When she halted because she found him, she began to pant.

"Kagome, what's the rush?"

"Inuyasha...pant...I need you...pant...to take me back to my era for a minute." Inuyasha looked at her.

"For what?" She grabbed his collar and brought his face close to hers.

"Do it, or I'll use the 's' word so many times that your face will become deformed." Terrified, Inuyasha nodded and picked Kagome up on his back and rushed off in the direction in the well.

Miroku and Sango had decided to take a walk before they headed back. It was almost sun down and neither of them knew where the day had gone. Sango couldn't have been happier that day since she got to spend it with him, but he was doing so much for her, it just made Sango feel like he loved her.

Now they were returning to an empty campsite, with no sign of anyone returning.

"Where do you think they went?" asked Sango.

"They must have gone into the nearby village. They'll be back soon." Sango started a fire since it was getting dark and began to get closer to the fire to keep warm. Miroku joined her and put his arm around her shoulder.

"You really have changed since Minoru came into the group." Said Sango. Slightly startled by the randomness of the question, it took him a minute to answer.

"How so?"

"You don't grope me anymore, you don't try and hit on any girls... you've really changed." Miroku shrugged.

"Well, I guess I just didn't want you to leave because of me. I mean Kagome would shun me, Inuyasha would never let me hear the end of it and I wouldn't forgive myself because..."

"Because...?" she continued

"Because I..."

"Miroku, Sango, you're back!" said Kagome as she climbed of Inuyasha's back as they entered the campsite. Kagome immediately ran over to the side of her best friend and began to talk about the day. Miroku caught the message early and got up to leave the girls alone. He walked over to Inuyasha.

"Where were you guys?"

"We had to go back to Kagome's time to get something." He then mumbled something under his breath about an ungrateful wench. Not long after, Minoru arrived to make the party complete. When they asked where he was, he just said 'out running an errand'

Once dinner had been finished, everyone decided to get some sleep. As Minoru began to drift, the only though on his mind was

'Miroku is going down.'
