Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.

The day went by very fast for Kagome, she had a wonderful lunch, and finally it was her last class of the day, art class. This was the only class that Kagome could let loose in and forget her problems.

"Hello class! Today we will be paired up." Kagome sighed, she hated being paired up.

"But you will be in fours. There is 24 people in my class so six groups of four. Okay, now I will call your names and you will go with those people. First group will be Higurashi Kagome, Takahashi Inuyasha, Taiga Sango, and Priest Miroku!" said Mrs. Pretyl a little too over excited. She was always like this! Then she spoke the other groups and they all got together.

"Ahhh, my dear Sango, it is a pleasure to be working with you!" Miroku said. Inuyasha hung his head, Miroku was such a pervert! Kagome came over with her books.

"Hey," she said quietly to the small group. They smiled at her, lunch had been fun. They'd talked about everything it was great.

"Class, today I put you in the groups you will be in for the rest of the year!" Mrs. Pretyl said smiling. Everyone either said, "NO!" or sighed.

"You will be drawing and painting a picture of everyone in you group with a bit of happiness and love in their eyes. It's supposed to look as if you're in love with one another. Ahh, to be in love is SO wonderful. BEGIN!" she said in a sing song voice.

"Mrs. Pretyl? Are you in love?" All eyes were on Kagome, she was the one who had asked the question. The room was quiet for a moment and then they looked to the teacher.

The teacher then said, "Why yes, Kagome dear, I do believe I am. He's a wonderful man."

"Oh, well then could I look into your eyes?" This took the teacher off guard.

"Well dear why don't you look into Inuyasha's eyes?" she said. Kagome looked into his eyes.

She shook her head and said to the teacher, "No, no he's not in love. He has a lot of pain hidden and anger and happiness but no love."

The teacher stared at her and said, "Kagome what do your eyes hide?"

Kagome smiled sadly and said simply, "How would I know?" No one saw the tear that fell from her face and she didn't notice it. The only people who saw it was her group and they were all unnerved.

"Well class begin and Kagome if you'd like you can look into my eyes." The teacher said cautiously. No one moved as Kagome went around the desks to the teacher.

She saw that the teacher was indeed in love and said, "You are in love," Then she sat down and began to work.

When class was over everyone was finished. "Okay we have twenty minutes or so, so if you could please, everyone show me your pictures when I call your name." Soon everyone had gone except Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku.

"Oh I'm sorry, you all have to come up at the same time. You know the clock is always going and we have almost run out of time." The teacher chuckled. They all went up and showed their finished product to the class.

Everyone gasped. "You all have amazing talent!" Their teacher said.

Sango's picture was of them sitting around a tree laughing and having a picnic. Miroku and Sango were facing each other as if talking and smiling while Inuyasha was on the tree looking down and using intense and loving eyes to stare at Kagome while she was looking up at him. You could see her pretty dangling earrings as she smiled while Sakura blossoms fell from the tree. It looked as though Kagome wanted to join him and climb into his arms. They all looked so happy. Sango was eating an ice cream and laughing. Miroku looked like he was trying to lick the ice cream and was laughing. The sky was a crystal blue with big fluffy white clouds that looked as if they would pop out and sprinkle there mist on them. The sun was partially hidden behind a cloud and was shining down on them. It sort of beamed at them and was smiling. Kagome's hair was in a high ponytail and so was Sango's but hers looked a bit looser.

Sango blushed and smiled at her group. They all smiled back and Kagome gave a small laugh while Inuyasha's ear twitched and she laughed some more.

"It's really beautiful Sango." She said.

"Thanks Kag-chan." Kagome beamed! No one had ever called her that.

"Your welcome San-chan!" Inuyasha smiled and Miroku groped.

Sango turned 99 shades of red, "HENTAI!" Sango said and slapped him on the face.

Miroku smiled, "It was worth it." Inuyasha then sighed and showed his own painting.

It was of all of them around a warm fire, it was gorgeous. The picture looked as though you were from the fire's point of view and you saw the glow on the people within the painting. It was as if you were there and making the warmth they all needed. Sango was curled up and smiling in Miroku's lap comfortably, facing Kagome. You could see the steam from the cup of coffee she held rising up. Inuyasha had his arm sweetly around Kagome and she was holding her cup of hot chocolate and blowing on the surface lightly to cool it down and smiling while she "talked with Sango." Her ponytail looked as if it was bobbing up and down to indicate she was nodding. Miroku was just as content as Inuyasha was and they were both staring into the fire but you could tell they were talking. Their eyes glowed as they looked into the fire. Miroku had a happy expression and his mouth was shaped as if he was talking with a bit of a smile on his face. They were on two separate couches and they looked like they were moved so they could be closer together. There were pictures of all of them in frames that were on the walls and it made the cottage all the more warm and merry. The last and most simple but beautiful detail was the snow sprinkling outside. You could see the flakes through the window and the outline of it's frame along with small crystal snowflakes, their shadows on the rug in their little cottage.

"I want to go into that picture," Sango whispered breathlessly then added (Miroku had smiled in a perverted manner) "just, you know, not in his arms because he's such a pervert."

Kagome teased, "Yeah, suuuuure."

Kagome giggled then said, "It's truly beautiful Inuyasha, I didn't know you liked art."

Then he said to his group, "I stopped trying when my mom died, she wanted me to always try and do my best. It wasn't her fault she died I just felt like she left me when she did. So, I stopped." They all nodded their head and understood. Them Miroku showed his picture.

It showed him with Kagome and Sango all over him and kissing him while he smiled slyly. Inuyasha was pouting in the background. Miroku was wearing a nice violet suit that looked really nice with his dark blue eyes. The girls were barely wearing anything.

Sango punched him, hardly and Inuyasha punched him, lightly. Kagome laughed and clutched her stomach from pain. They all got worried.

"Oh its nothing, I just have a stomachache." Kagome said, in pain, but not showing it.

Then they all looked at Miroku, even the teacher, and he blushed lightly while he turned his picture around and said, "That was the wrong one."

Inuyasha laughed again and said, "Good, now show us the real one."

His TRUE picture was of all them walking forward down a carnival trail. Inuyasha was first and had his face half way looking up and a piece of popcorn was slightly above his head. He was looking at Sango, but it wasn't a loving look, it was a knowing look. They both knew he wouldn't get the popcorn in his mouth. Sango was smiling back at him. Kagome had her arm entwined with Miroku's, but it was brotherly. She was smiling with a cotton candy in her hands while she looked like she was thinking. Miroku had some powder in his hair and Sango was eating some powdery fried dough. From the looks of it, Sango and Miroku had been fooling around and she put the sugar in his hair. Kagome's hair was in a ponytail with some ringlets in front and Sango's was in a pretty half way with heart shaped pearl earrings in. Sango looked as if she was constantly bumping into Inuyasha and Kagome (she was in between them). Miroku was at the end and was smiling ear to ear. There was other people around them but they were sort of there just to keep the picture focused on them.

Everyone looked at him. "I've never been to a fair, I WANNA GO!" Kagome said.

They all stared at her while sweat-dropping and laughing. Then Inuyasha piped up and said, "Well you can, we all can, one's coming this weekend." At this news they all said they'd go and were happy. Soon it was Kagome's turn to go. She had three papers.

Her first painting had been of Miroku and Sango. They were dancing in a beautiful dance hall. There was a crystal chandelier above them that glistened beautifully on everyone. Sango was wearing a gorgeous red dress that had a beautiful angled frill at the bottom with the perfect shoes to match. It was a thin strapped dress as well, it made her look all the more beautiful. Miroku was wearing a nice black tuxedo that made him look a bit more serious which helped him out a lot and had his arms wrapped around Sango. Sango had her head tilted towards his neck and one hand was reaching up to his face where you couldn't see it. She was in the front with her eyes staring forward and in love with a faint smile brushing across her face. Miroku had this serious look on his face and was looking forward. The sun was setting gracefully in the background and the windows to the dance hall were large enough to see it. The curtains were a beautiful silk and a pure white. They were not alone but by their looks and eyes they felt that way. Like they were the only ones in the room and nothing could ruin that beautiful moment for them.

Sango looked at Miroku. She had this odd look in her eyes. It was want, hope, and a wishing look. He looked back and smiled lightly. They had known each other for a long time and were really good friends, but they knew something was up.

"Hey Kagome, that's really beautiful." Sango said. Miroku went to grope her and Sango didn't notice. Inuyasha fiercely grabbed his hand and smiled at him disgusted and amused. Miroku smiled back sheepishly.

Kagome giggled and said, "I thought it was good."

Sango grinned, "Yes it was, show us your next picture." Kagome obeyed.

This was a painting of her and Inuyasha in a wonderful gazebo with pink and magically glowing flower vines all along the top and bottom. Stairs went to it and along the front there was a crystal (hehe crystal, again) clear ocean that glistened. They were holding each other and Inuyasha was staring at her with loving, wanting eyes. He wanted her and only her in the world. It looked like they loved each other so much. She was staring back with the most caring eyes and she was smiling a warm and wonderful smile. A smile Kagome had never smiled before. They looked as if they just shared a passionate and full of love kiss in the gazebo. Seagulls could be seen in the distance on the sky. They looked as if they were gliding and making a show for the lovers below. Also, very pretty and dainty wildflowers were all around and along the gazebo in the soft sand below them. You could see small steps that showed they went up to the gazebo from a nice and wonderful walk on the soft sanded beach. The sky was filled with wonderful colors like a tan caramel, bright pink, and orange. The clouds were white and colorful and they looked down on the couple with wonder.

Kagome looked up at her group.

"Oh my, Kagome it's wonderful!" The teacher spoke up.

"Arigato Mrs. Pretyl." She smiled at her group.

Sango was aghast, "Kagome you must show us your last picture!"

Inuyasha had been quiet the whole time then said quietly, "You've showed us two amazing and beautiful pictures, I'm sure you can only get better from here." She beamed at him then went on.

Her last picture was of all of them. Sango was sitting on the floor playing a board game with Miroku and the pieces were scattered on the board and they were sort of over the board and going in for a smooch. Inuyasha and Kagome were talking and Kagome was sewing something that looked like a quilt with their pictures on it. They all looked older in the painting, but not too much older, and they were in a living room with a Christmas tree in the back of the room. It was decorated beautifully with wonderful ornaments that shine and sparkle. Inuyasha has this big knowing grin on his face while looking at Sango and Miroku out of the corner of his eyes. It looks like he had been watching Kagome moments before and told her he loved her. Kagome was looking at her work with a cute little smile on her face that just made her very cute and beautiful.

Sango's eyes were filled with tears of happiness and confusion, "I wish, I wish that something like this could come true… But hentai over hear would never let that happen." She whispered.

"Look Sango, you never give me any chances or anything, so just stop it. I may be perverted but I feel too. So, live in the moment and forget about what I would do or wouldn't do and maybe one day something like that could happen," Miroku then hugged her and continued. "You are one of my best friends so please do that for me. Kay?"

"Kay." Sango said and they stopped hugging and blushed.

Inuyasha said sarcastically, "Wow, my very own soap opera. Woot, woot."

Kagome smirked and said, "Way to ruin the moment Inuyasha. I thought you were supposed to live in it, not ruin it."

"HEY, excuse me I didn't say that, that was Miroku!" He defended. This just made Sango laugh.

"Well, the bell is about to ring. Do the four of you mind if I keep your paintings?" The teacher asked them and they all nodded.

Sango then said, "No. Sorry you can't have them." They all looked at her as if she were crazy.

"Sango, my dear, and why not?" Mrs. Pretyl asked flabbergasted.

"They are our creations, I want one of Kagome's. If I can have it." she directed the question to Kagome.

"Okay Sango," Kagome said and handed her the one of her and Miroku.

Sango shook her head and said, "No, can I have the one of you and Inuyasha?" she asked and Kagome was, at first, hesitant but gave her the picture. Inuyasha then looked to Miroku and shrugged.

"Hey, Inuyasha can I have yours?" Miroku asked in the middle of his shrug.

Inuyasha laughed, "Go ahead, take it." Miroku happily took it.

"Okay um, Kagome can I have that one of Sango and Miroku dancing?" Inuyasha asked.

"As long as I get Miroku's picture." She said.

"Go ahead. But I want Sango's." Miroku said to Kagome.

"Take it but I want Kagome's wonderful painting of all of us." said Sango now laughing at all the switches.

"Wow," Inuyasha said. Then Kagome cracked and chuckled softly.

:RING:

"Um, well class that's the bell so you all can go home now." said Mrs. Pretyl afraid for their sanity.

They all walked together and were the first ones out of the class room. "That was a great lesson Kags, don't cha think?" Sango laughed as she said this. Immediately, they exchanged back paintings.

"What was the point of that whole, 'I want his or her picture' thingy. I mean we knew we'd take em back." Inuyasha asked with a role of his eyes.

"Well, it was funny wasn't it?" Sango asked.

"I know why. You know, if we hadn't we wouldn't have been able to keep them, Mrs. Pretyl is very strict when it comes to wanting paintings. If we hadn't confused her we wouldn't have been able to keep them. Hey, any of you want this junk?"

They all stared at her and said in unison, "NO! YOUR PAINTINGS ARE NOT JUNK!"

She blushed then said, "Fine." They were passing a trash barrel and she went to throw them out.

Then they all said, "NO! WE'LL TAKE THEM!" She smiled slightly, glad they cared, and dropped them on the ground. "Take them, I don't care." They each picked a painting up and smiled at their friends retreating form.

HEY! YAY a third chappie! Well please read and review! Thanks!
