Mission: Love

----

Karasu: Tsuyoku!

Leona: Yes! He's taking over the year 3000!

Inuyasha: How did he skip Kagome's generation and make it that far?

Leona: He must have remained dormant all those years to increase his power and reign in great strength.

Sango: So he's stronger than he was before?

Leona: By the aura of the overall atmosphere, yes.

Miroku: What do we do?

Leona: I don't know, but we'll figure it out. Where's Mikita? I have to tell her.

(Karasu looked down sadly and nobody responded.)

Hiei: Didn't you know? She died in the battle with Naraku as well.

Leona: She… Oh.

(Leona became saddened by this, but soon looked up at them with determination.)

Leona: We will find a way to destroy Tsuyoku. Don't worry. We—

(Suddenly, Lutious poofed in from the future and found Leona.)

Leona: Lutious?

Lutious: (Cough) There you are. I've been looking for you. (Cough) What did you mean before you left? Who's taking over our time?

Leona: Tsuyoku is, but—

Lutious: Tsuyoku? Who's that?

Leona: I'll explain it to you later.

Lutious: No! Stop leaving me out! Tell me now!

Leona: (Sigh) Okay. Come on.

(Leona and Lutious left in their patch of smoke.)

Shippo: (Coughs) That smoke is annoying.

Myoga: (Coughs) Yes it is.

Shippo: Myoga?

Inuyasha: So, you've finally shown up? Where were you during our battle with Naraku?

Myoga: There was a battle with Naraku… and I missed it?

Sango/Miroku: As usual.

Myoga: Well what happened?

Shippo: We won!

Myoga: Really? Naraku is dead? I can't believe you did it master!

(Inuyasha remembered removing the jewel from Mikita's chest and it brought him sadness.)

Inuyasha: Yeah, me either.

Myoga: What is it master?

Inuyasha: Nothing.

Karasu: He's thinking about Mikita.

(Inuyasha gave Karasu a nasty look and she just stuck her tongue out at him. Kagome came toward them.)

Shippo: Kagome's back!

(Shippo gave her his usual greeting and jumped into her arms. She hugged him and smiled.)

Kagome: Hey Shippo.

Miroku: You're back.

Kagome: Yep, and I got those pictures developed from the wedding.

Myoga: Wedding? Who was married?

Kagome: Miroku and Sango.

Myoga: Man! I missed a lot going to the hot springs.

Inuyasha: Hot springs?

Myoga: Heh. (Sweat drop)

Kagome: Here you go Miroku and Sango.

(Kagome handed them their pictures and they opened the packet.)

Kagome: Be sure to handle the pictures around the edges.

Miroku: Ooh! Who's that handsome couple?

Sango: Eww! I look horrible!

Kagome: You do not. You're really beautiful in that picture.

Sango: No I'm not! You're blind Kagome!

Kagome: There aren't many people who like their pictures. I sure don't. Hee hee…

Miroku: You look great in this picture Sango dear.

(Sango started acting paranoid around her butt.)

Miroku: What? I didn't do anything.

Sango: (Nervous) Oh. Heh. Habit… I'm gonna go… do something.

(Sango hurried off and Miroku appeared confused.)

Miroku: She's still the same about me, even though we're married now.

Inuyasha: Can you blame her?

Kagome: There's must be something we can do.

Miroku: Like what?

Kagome: We have to fix this marriage!

(Kagome's determination shone through as usual as she made a proud fist in the air, confusing Inuyasha and the others. The first plan on Kagome's mind was the traditional bouquet of flowers awaiting Sango's bedside. While Sango was sleeping, Kagome placed the vase of flowers next to Sango and thought, "When Sango wakes up and sees these, she'll fall head over heels with Miroku's kindness… although this wasn't his plan exactly. Oh well, it'll work." With a smile on her face, Kagome walked outside next to the door with Miroku to await Sango's surprise. After a few minutes, Sango got up and walked outside, only to be met by an over-dramatic, smiling Kagome.)

Kagome: So, did you like the flowers?

Sango: What flowers?

(Completely oblivious to the plan, Karasu approached Hiei with the bouquet of flowers, smiling expectantly with the daydreamer's smile. Hiei sighed, and Kagome rolled her eyes. Looks like plan one failed. Now Kagome had a plan two of course:)

Miroku: Hey Sango…

(Miroku approached her and she watched his every move.)

Miroku: I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Sango: What are you up to monk?

Miroku: Nothing. I—

(Suddenly, Shippo came out from behind a nearby bush transformed into a rabid wolf. He even had a foaming mouth that added a nice touch to his ferociousness. Startled, Sango shrieked.)

Miroku: Stay back Sango!

(Miroku wrapped his arms around her as if to protect her, and one of his hands landed on her behind, making Sango angry.)

Sango: I knew you were up to something, you pervert!

(She smacked him and pushed away, walking off angrily.)

Miroku: But I… It was an accident!

(Shippo transformed into himself again and coughed with the foam escaping his mouth.)

Shippo: Kagome, this "tooth paste" stuff is nasty!

(Kagome put her hand on her forehead in disappointment. Having plan two failing as well, she wasn't about to give up just yet.)

Kagome: I've got one more idea.

(Bringing back many items from her time, Kagome set up a dinner table for Miroku and Sango.)

Inuyasha: Why didn't you tell Miroku about this?

Kagome: Because I want it to be a secret. I want to surprise them both.

Inuyasha: What if they hate it?

Kagome: How could they hate it? What could possibly go wrong? It'll be fine.

(It was dark outside, and Sango saw the light from the candles inside.)

Sango: What is going on in there? They've been acting strange all day.

Miroku: What's that light in there?

Sango: Like you don't know.

Miroku: No, I don't. They never told me anything.

(They became curious and went inside.)

Sango: What's going on you guys? You've been acting weird lately.

Inuyasha: (Points to Kagome) It was her.

(Inuyasha left and Kagome stood up nervously.)

Kagome: Well… it's all set up for you now. Have fun.

(Kagome walked out and Sango looked at the dinner table confused.)

Sango: What's this?

Miroku: Looks like a dinner date.

Sango: See! You did know something about this. I'm out of here.

(Sango was about to walk out, but Kagome met her in the doorway.)

Kagome: Not without your dinner.

(Kagome had a tray with a lid over it like what is seen in restaurants.)

Kagome: Have a seat please.

Sango: I don't know about this.

(Kagome escorted Sango to her seat, and Miroku sat down in the seat across from Sango.)

Kagome: You're lucky tonight. We have a special for the first couple.

(She sat the tray down on the table and lifted the lid to reveal shrimp and rice.)

Kagome: The head chef herself made this.

(She hints toward herself with a proud expression.)

Kagome: Enjoy your dinner.

(Kagome walked out, and Miroku and Sango smelled the food in the air.)

Miroku: This smells good.

Sango: Yes it does.

(Miroku decided to grab a piece of shrimp and try a bite of it.)

Miroku: Ooh! This is delicious!

(Kagome spied from the window and thought, "Yes! I cooked it just right." Sango took a bite as well and seemed to like it.)

Sango: Mmm… You're right Miroku. It is good.

(Miroku saw the drink next to him and took a drink of it.)

Miroku: I don't know what this is, but it sure is good.

(He took another large gulp of it and it dribbled down his chin. He sat there with a surprised look on his face as it dripped down to his lap. Sango giggled and grabbed a napkin.)

Sango: Here. Let me get it.

(She gently wiped the drink from his mouth, and they made eye contact. Kagome saw her opportunity and used a remote to turn on the radio. Sango and Miroku were confused with the sound, but soon began to enjoy the peaceful tune.)

Sango: That sounds so pretty.

Miroku: Yeah.

(They sensed the love in each other's eyes and all seemed to be going well until…)

Kirara: Meow! (Jumps on the table)

Sango: Aaahh! Kirara!

(Kirara started eating the shrimp and rice wildly, and Kagome ran in.)

Kagome: Kirara!

(Before she made it to the table, she tripped on the radio and it messed up. The noise from the radio sounded mournful and loud.)

Kagome: Aaahh! Make it stop!

(She fiddled with the buttons, but it continued to make the awful sound. Inuyasha was heard running toward them from outside.)

Inuyasha: Is it a demon? Don't worry! I got it! Tetsusaiga!

(Miroku grabbed Sango and ran out the back door to safety with her, and Inuyasha hurried inside about to do the wind scar, but Kagome stopped him.)

Kagome: It wasn't a demon! It's this radio! It won't stop!

Inuyasha: Oh, is that all?

(Inuyasha kicked it and it ran down slowly. Kagome sat down disappointed.)

Kagome: I can't believe all my plans failed. I guess I'm not an expert like Cupid.

(Meanwhile outside with Miroku and Sango…)

Miroku: Are you okay Sango?

Sango: Yeah I'm fine. Miroku… you saved me, and your hand is not on my butt.

Miroku: Of course. I was worried for your safety.

Sango: Miroku…

(Inside, Kirara finished all the shrimp and rice, and Kagome sarcastically said:)

Kagome: Hope you enjoyed your meal Kirara.

Kirara: (Burp) Meow.

Kagome: If only it had worked out…

Inuyasha: Actually…

Kagome: Huh?

(Inuyasha was looking out the door, and Kagome joined him. To her surprise, she saw Miroku and Sango in a passionate lip lock.)

Kagome: I did it! It actually worked!
Hiei: No. They did it.

Karasu: That's disgusting… Come on Hiei. Let's go.

Hiei: You're still on your period Karasu.

Karasu: Not anymore. I've been off it since last night.

Hiei: You didn't act like it.

Karasu: I liked having a reason to be mad.

(Karasu smirked and grabbed Hiei by the arm, running off with him joyfully.)

Kagome: Well, I guess I'd better get back to school now. I still have a lot to catch up on.
