She slowly took her hand and lightly touched her lips with her fingertips and brushed over them. They felt tingly and warm, as she relived the moment of their kiss. His lips felt as if they were still placed on hers, coaxing them and bringing their relationship into something more.

'A little too late to say trick or treat, but… that treat was way better than any other candy in the world,' Kagome smiled.

Chapter 17: Why?

Kagome jumped off the counter and out the opened restroom door, seeing Inuyasha sitting on his bed and looking a little… jittery.

"Inuyasha…?" Kagome said slowly, as if not to shock him from his own little world.

He jumped, surprised by her appearance. He had been deep in thought of what to say, and couldn't think of any other way that he had.

"Kagome, about that kiss…" he started, trying to gain confidence. His nervousness was obvious in his motions, as he was fiddling with his fingers and pulling at his clothes.

She tilted her head, urging him to continue, eagerly waiting for what he would say. She mentally crossed her fingers and prayed for her dream confession to come true.

He sighed and scratched the back of his neck before gaining the will to speak again. "It… It was just in the moment, you know? I mean, I wasn't thinking, and…" Kagome interrupted in the middle of his sentence, holding out her hand. As the world around her started to shatter, she last minutely held it back up as best as she could, watching as other small pieces fell around her.

"It's okay; I understand… it was just in the moment, that's all. Let's just forget it ever happened…" she said. Her heart and mind screamed at her in complaint as she pushed it all back, only because she wanted Inuyasha to be happy.

If he didn't love her that way, then she wouldn't mind… as long as he never pushed her away. She couldn't help but feel lonely already without his mouth over hers…

- - - -

Kagome called Sango and Miroku over to the Takahashi mansion, planning to have a sleepover at his house without his permission.

"Hey, who said you could call them over?" Inuyasha asked as she put the phone back in the cradle.

"Aw, please?" she laced both of her hands' fingers together and put on the puppy dog eyes, along with the pout. Inuyasha looked away, determined on ignoring her pleas and the irresistible puppy dog face…

Kagome whined and jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and latching her legs around his waist. She nuzzled his neck and whined as if she actually was a puppy, as he became stiff and chanted in his head. 'I will not give in; I will not give in…'

He felt her soft lips on his neck, as he lost all will of ignoring her and sighed, patting her back. "Alright, they can come over…" he said as his mind wandered back to her kiss on his neck, eventually leading to the steaming kiss they had shared earlier in his bathroom. He shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts and came back to the world in time to feel and see Kagome unlatching herself from him.

"Can we have a sleepover?" she asked, praying and preparing her eyes to go into puppy dog mode, just in case.

"Yeah, yeah," he waved his hand back and forth, making it sound like it was nothing at all.

Kagome cheered and hugged him again. "Yay! Thank you 'Yasha!"

He let out a 'mhm' as she let go and he opened a package of chicken flavored Ramen noodles, and poured the block of dry noodles into the bowl, but not before taking out the packet of the flavoring out. Inuyasha pressed the button of the water boiler after he placed the bowl under the nozzle, as the steaming water poured into his bowl and slowly softened the noodles. He placed a dish on top of the bowl and waited as his food cooked.

Meanwhile, Kagome was punching in the keys of her home phone number. She waited for someone in her household to pick up as the ringing sound went on continuously three times before a woman's voice came onto the phone.

"Hello, Higurashi residence."

"Hi, mom!" Kagome replied into the phone happily.

"Oh, hello Kagome!"

"Would it be okay if I stayed over at Inuyasha's today for a sleepover? We're having a little get together of friends…"

"That's fine dear, but don't come home too late tomorrow, alright?"

"Okay, mom! Thanks so much, I love you…" she smiled.

Her mother let out a little laugh of glee. "I love you too sweetie, now have fun!"

"'Kay, bye-bye!" Kagome clicked the 'off' button of the phone and put it back in its place in the cradle. "Yay, I can stay over!" she exclaimed happily, as if it was the first time she had ever been allowed.

Inuyasha snorted. "You're always allowed here… dork."

Kagome pouted. "Way to burst my bubble."

"Glad," Inuyasha smirked. Kagome smacked him lightly on his arm as he laughed, and the timer on the microwave went off, signaling his Ramen was finished.

"Ramen!" he yelled as he took the dish off the top of the bowl and grabbed a pair of chopsticks, before immediately digging in and slurping with all he could. Kagome just looked at him weirdly.

Touga, Inuyasha's father, burst from behind the door as he almost skipped into the kitchen. "Hello son, hello Kaggy!" His feet seemed to tip toe and flutter across the kitchen tiles as Inuyasha stared at his dad weirdly.

Kagome giggled. "Something good happen today, Uncle Touga?"

He ran over to her and hugged her and then twirled her around in her arms, making her laugh and hold on tighter. Touga set her down and took in a deep breath. "I…"

"I finally beat a game of computer solitaire!" he exclaimed happily like a little girl, clapping his hands together as huge blinking stars replaced his golden eyes.

The two best friends sweat dropped as Kagome patted him on the back. "Uh… congratulations!"

Crickets chirped as Touga pranced around the kitchen and hummed his own little tune, saying 'What now, Solitaire? I won, I won…'

The chime of the doorbell interrupted his chanting of victory as Inuyasha and Kagome took the chance to leave, dashing out of the kitchen doors. They opened the two doors together, one person on each of the door knobs. It opened quickly and Miroku and Sango stood together in front of the doors, crossing their arms and tapping their feet on the cement.

"And what took you two so long!" Sango almost screamed.

"…" Inuyasha and Kagome didn't answer. 'Impatient, much?' they both thought.

"Now, now, Sango… they didn't take long at all, only one second!" Miroku tried to calm down Sango, who was on the 'crimson wave'. (I'd like to thank the reviewer who told me that name a while back XD)

"No, they didn't! They took one point thirty five seconds! Can you believe that!" she yelled again.

The three other friends sweat dropped and left the situation alone. "Come in, will you not?" Kagome bowed, imitating a butler. As they came in, behind Miroku and Sango's backs, she re-curled her imaginary French styled mustache.

They went over to the living room couches and settled their selves in them, save for Kagome. She skipped in front of them and bowed again. "Bon appetit!"

"…But, there's no food…" Miroku said.

Kagome crossed her arms over her chest and puffed up her cheeks. "Well, that was the only French… thing… I knew!"

- - - -

Miroku stuffed half a pizza into his mouth and the other half after, then gulping down some strawberry soda. He burped loudly and put a hand on his stomach, groaning in pain as he watched the others eat quickly and with big amounts.

"I didn't think a eating contest would be so hard with you guys… pigs…" he said while still groaning and feeling as if he needed the toilet under him right now.

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango ignored his groaning and moaning and continued on eating. They stuffed their faces with pepperoni pizzas, spicy wings, chips, and guzzled down their soda. There was the occasional burping as they all ate.

Sango was the second to lean back in her chair and sigh, patting her belly. "I must have gained fifteen pounds doing this…" Miroku laughed and pointed at her. "Shut up!" she swatted her hand at his head, making another place on his body painful. Poor Miroku.

Now, only Inuyasha and Kagome were left. Inuyasha glanced to his right where Kagome was sitting, stuffing pizza and wings into her mouth like there was no care in the world. 'Man, how can she eat so much and be so thin!' he thought as he became more determined to win the contest.

A minute passed as Inuyasha began to feel what all that food had done in his stomach. It felt bloated and full. He pushed away the pizza box from him and leaned back into the chair, sighing. "I forfeit…" he said reluctantly, resting his hand on his stomach.

Kagome cheered in victory although it was muffled through the bunches of food in her mouth. Even if the contest was over, she continued eating as they all sweat dropped.

- - - -

The sound of 'Swan Lake' ballet music rang throughout the house, along with loud hysterical laughter.

Miroku yelled obscenities at his friends ridiculously seeing as he was in a lavender and pink colored ballerina tutu, complete with the tiara and ballet shoes that tied up his calves.

"You just had to dare me to do this…" he muttered with his muscular arms over his well built chest.

"That looks really fits you," Sango said through large gasps of air, trying to recover from her could-be endless laughter.

Kagome laughed harder in agreement, digital camera in hand, which Miroku stared at almost desperately. "You're not going to keep those pictures, are you…?" Miroku whined.

Kagome smirked, looking strangely like Inuyasha. "Why of course little 'Roku, you look so gorgeous! Pink and purple really suit you, you know."

"This is not purple, it's lavender," Miroku said as a matter of fact.

"Whatever you say, oh manly one." Inuyasha smirked.

"Yeah, you're prettier than me, Miroku… and I'm gorgeous," Kagome flipped her hair and battered her eyelashes mockingly before bursting into laughter along with Sango and Inuyasha.

"You're just jealous," Miroku muttered.

They all caught their breath and got back into their sitting positions; in a small circle of four. Miroku, of course, took off the 'ridiculously stupid pink tutu', he had called it.

"Okay, Miroku, your turn!" Kagome chirped happily as they continued their game of 'Truth or Dare'.

"Hm…" he thought as he looked around the circle, searching for his next victim. His eyes stopped on Inuyasha as he cackled evilly in his mind. "Inuyasha, Truth, or dare?"

"Dare," he answered immediately. No need to get any secrets out to the group…

"I dare you to prank call… Yura," he finished off, sounding 'evil'. "Aren't I so absolutely evil?" he said, ending it with the maniacal laughter. They all stared at him.

"Prank calling is not evil," Sango said dully.

"Way to ruin my fun…" Miroku muttered. "But still, prank call Yura!"

"Mmkay," Inuyasha shrugged as he thought of something to prank her with. He brightened and jumped to the phone as if a light bulb had just been lit above his head, looking in the phone book and dialing in Yura's phone number, blocking the caller ID just in case.

The phone rang three times, before a female voice came onto the phone.

"Hello, the beautiful and talented Yura Kiragumi speaking!" she greeted into the phone in her sickeningly sweet voice as they all sweat dropped; the phone was on the speaker phone mode for the prank.

"Hello Miss Kiragumi, this is the boob surgery agency, and we would like to inform you that the surgery for your E cup breasts are ready and we expect you to come tomorrow at noon!" Inuyasha answered in a fake cheery receptionist like voice.

"I so do not need any surgery, 'cause like, my boobs are already E cups!"

"…Oh, did I say E cup? I meant Z cup!" Inuyasha exclaimed, faking a gasp as Kagome, Sango and Miroku suppressed their laughter.

"There is, like, such thing as, like, a Z cup!" Yura exclaimed surprised and sounding interested.

"Of course there is in the Super Breast Agency, SBA for short!"

"Oh, but I don't, like, remember signing up! Is it free? 'Cause, like, I would totally get it."

"Why yes, and you even get a free lace bra and thong for your visit! And, the surgeon happens to be a very good-looking man…"

"Like, oh my god!" Yura fanned herself. "I'll be there at noon! Where, like, is SBA?"

"Just go out of your house, down one block, and turn in the corner. Then go inside the alley way!" Inuyasha made up random directions.

"Oh… um… the, like, stinky alley way?" Yura said unsurely.

"Oh yes," Inuyasha nodded furiously, before remember Yura couldn't exactly see him. "It may seem smelly, but go inside, and you will see 'SBA' and it will look fabulous."

"Oh, like, thanks!" Yura giggled, before hanging up in excitement.

Inuyasha stared at the phone. "…I kind of just made that at the top of my head… I didn't know she actually would want Z cup boobs… Oh well."

Kagome was laughing the hardest out of them all, slapping Inuyasha's back as he looked at her weirdly in response. "Z… cup… boobs… BWHAHAHAHAH!" she suddenly laughed out, using her hands and putting them as far as she could in front of her chest, before falling onto the ground again.

"Weirdo," they said in sync.

Kagome sighed in happiness after her laughter and patted her belly. "I swear tonight is the night I will bust a gut."

All was quiet, before Kagome whispered into Inuyasha's ear. A smirk slowly formed onto his face as he nodded and whispered something back at her as Sango and Miroku watched curiously and confused.

"Hey, let's go play some video games, shall we? Past the hallway a bit!" Kagome exclaimed as she jumped to her feet. Inuyasha nodded in agreement along with her, winking at her without the other two friends noticing.

"Okay, sure," Sango replied as she got up as well, Miroku and Inuyasha following. She walked behind Inuyasha and Kagome, beside Miroku, and felt as if something was going to come her way…

They walked down the hallway, which had many doors. 'How can they remember which door is for which room?' Sango thought incredulously, getting dizzy from all the doors. Inuyasha and Kagome abruptly stopped beside a door, causing Miroku and Sango to bump into their backs.

"Here's the door," Inuyasha said as he opened it and stepped aside, as did Kagome. He signaled for Sango and Miroku to go in first, which they did. It was all dark, and Sango felt around for the light switch and turned it on. "Hey, this is the—!" she never got to finish her sentence, since Inuyasha and Kagome slammed the door, and the sound of a lock clicking shut echoed from the knob. "Closet," she sighed.

Sango shook the knob and tried to open the door, but no avail. She and Miroku were trapped. "Great, I'm stuck in a tiny closet with no room to spare with the pervert… Yippee," she said sarcastically, leaning back to the wall. It was the only thing she could do, anyway; the closet was empty and could barely contain them both.

Miroku frowned. "I'm not that bad…" he sounded sincerely sad, and Sango felt guilt wash over her.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm just upset that I'm locked in a closet, that's all…" 'And that I've never been alone and so close with you before…' Sango mentally finished her sentence.

"Oh…" An uncomfortable silence passed over the two, before Miroku eagerly broke it.

"So… I don't think they'll let us out before we do whatever they wanted us to do. I don't think they would lock us in the closet just for the fun of it…"

"I guess…" Sango said, suddenly feeling like a shy little school girl with a crush. 'With a crush?' she thought almost depressingly to herself.

Miroku watched Sango's every move unknowingly to her, as she was busy thinking. He watched her thin eyebrows scrunch together as if she was confused or stressed, and her light brown caramel colored eyes twinkle from the shining light from the ceiling. Her slim, well toned arms where brought together and her fingers fiddled as her eyes began to have the faraway, deep in thought look.

He gave in to his urge and leaned over, giving her the unexpected kiss on the lips. She stared at his closed eyes, shocked, before responding to his rather innocent kiss. It was short but sweet, perfect for her. Her eyes opened again, silently questioning his own.

"Why?" she whispered as she pressed her forehead against his own.

A lone tear slipped from her eye and trailed down her cheek, before gravity worked its job and the drop of salty water fell onto the hard carpeting of the closet.

The MirSan couple fluff has been neglected XD I wanted the chapter to be longer, but I decided I liked the ending. Slightly shorter than last week's chapter -.- I'LL TRY TO MAKE UP THESE SHORT CHAPTERS FOR A LONG ONE NEXT TIME.

8 days to update… my longest record (I think). BAAAAAD!

Well, I decided not to drop Fate's Tryst… but when it's back from hiatus, expect really slow updates. Don't complain, because it really is sort of no where right now… Maybe it'll have a comeback…

The next update might be late too; I'm not sure, unless I work double on one day… Tuesday I have a field trip for the end of the year at school; beach boardwalk! Omgggg, yay. So I probably won't get to type anything that day… I'll try my best though :)

And I'm thinking of a penname change… but I'm afraid some people will 'accidentally' stop reading 'cause it's not 'Green FR00TL00PS' XD Hahaha.

Let's try to get to 300 reviews by the next update… we're close :D Thanks so much. I love you all :)

Long AN's, top and bottom -.-
