"What?" Miroku scrunched his eyebrows together. "I happen to think that Tinky Winky the Teletubby looks awfully good on me because of my rugged good looks," he clicked his tongue in what people would call a 'sexy' manner and twirled around to model again.

"But Miroku, Tinky Winky is the gay one with the purse and pink ballerina tutu!" Inuyasha taunted him, bringing the memories back again.

Miroku crumbled to the floor in dramatic agony and ran his hands down his face as he slowly fell to the floor. "Nooo…"

Chapter 19: Ethereal

"Sango, you're next!" Kagome wiggled her eyes up and down, obviously knowing what Sango had to dress up as.

Sango's heart pounded in its cage as she groaned. "Do I really have to dress as this, I mean, it's so…" she let out a disgusted and exasperated sound, trying to express how she felt about the costume.

"Well maybe you should've thought before you picked number two," Kagome tilted her head to the side, not thinking correctly.

Sango stared at her blankly. 'Why do I need to think when I don't even know what's inside the pieces of paper!' she thought incredulously, secretly staring at Kagome that way.

She just sighed and walked over to the trunk slumped over, and searched for her outfit while the other three turned around. As she was slipping off her shirt Miroku sneaked a peek and slightly turned his head to the side, causing Kagome to slap his cheek and turn it straight, looking towards the wall.

Footsteps going towards the group signaled Sango was done, but Kagome interrupted before anyone got to turn around. "Tsk tsk, Sango… you forgot the matching shoes!" Kagome said, still facing the wall and holding up her finger and wiggling it side to side.

Said girl gaped at the back of Kagome's head as she stuttered. "But… but they're…!" Sango couldn't finish her sentence, not believing her friend. As the silence started, she eventually broke down and yelled in frustration. "Okay, I'll go wear the stupid matching shoes…"

The clacking of obviously heavy shoes echoed through the room as they dropped to the floor, and buckles were heard clicking together. Sango sighed once more and told the group to turn around. "Kagome, I… am going to kill you."

Inuyasha took one look at the outfit and a small red color flushed over his cheeks. "This is almost like uncensored porn…" he muttered, covering his eyes with his hands.

Kagome giggled uncontrollably at the outfit and at Miroku; he was gaping at her outfit and drool dripped into puddles on the wooden floor.

Sango was clad in a firewoman outfit, except it seemed like the ones strippers were so fond of wearing in clubs, Miroku knew. The top was a tight red and was almost a jacket, a split near the chest and showing a good amount of cleavage. It only went an inch under her chest, hence the reason she was pulling it down as best as she could with her black gloved hands, but only accomplished on showing more cleavage.

Red short shorts hung low on her hips and went mid thigh, showing off her long athletic but delicate looking legs. A black buckled belt was swung across her hips in a sideways fashion, a little above her shorts. Tall, black three inched heels were on her two feet, straps traveling in criss-crosses until it was right under her knee, where it buckled.

Sango untied her brown hair from the confining ponytail and a red firemen hat was placed on top of her head, completing the whole look.

"I'm serious Kagome, I'm going to kill you…" she muttered under her breath as she tried to cover her chest as well as she could as Miroku ogled her 'goodies'.

"Kagome, I deeply thank you…" Miroku started in a dazed and unsteady voice, before gaining control and then kneeled down to bow to Kagome. "Kagome, I love you."

Inuyasha growled in warning and anger, as Miroku realized his mistake. "I mean… as a friend, a friend!" Miroku desperately tried to save himself from the wrath.

"Good," Inuyasha murmured.

"Okay, my turn!" Kagome chirped as she happily walked over to the trunk, where Sango was finishing putting the outfit back in the trunk. She got back up from the spot she was kneeling on and gave Kagome a glare that wavered when she kept up the toothy grin.

She sighed. 'Kagome, I just can't stay mad at you…' she thought miserably as she sat on the floor next to Miroku, quite cozy you'd have to say, with everyone's backs facing Kagome.

Humming and the rustling of clothing could be heard from Kagome, and then a small "ah hah!" She quickly changed and was done in a matter of seconds. "Okie dokie! I'm done!"

They all turned around and thought of how much Kagome looked like a kid. She was dressed as a fairy; even complete with the wings and 'magic wand'.

She wore a light blue skirt that resembled one of a ballerina tutu, which she complained that it irritated her butt. A silk like tank top was worn over her chest and stomach, showing the healthy tan glow of her skin. She had skillfully and rather quickly put her long hair into a semi tight bun, placing a sparkly blue hair tie around it.

Kagome wore clear looking pantyhose that covered her whole legs and white Mary Jane shoes covered her small feet. A pair of darker blue wings with little baby blue and white decorations were tied on her back as she twirled around and made them flap. She held a small wand with a star shaped with fake diamonds, and little pieces of shiny string hanging down.

"Aw, Kagome, you're so cute!" Sango squealed and clapped her hands together; acting like a mother would to a small child on Halloween.

"Now I'm glad I decided to choose number one again…" he shuddered, thinking of how much the skirt looked like the ballerina tutu.

"Yeah, very cute," Inuyasha grinned as he got up and pinched her cheeks, having to look down at her face because he was at least a head taller than her.

"You're such a grandma!" Kagome pouted, pointing her star wand at him. A burst of glitter and confetti suddenly came at Inuyasha's face as he automatically closed his eyes and mouth.

Kagome stood a few moments with her mouth open, before erupting into a fit of giggles. "Inuyasha, you're… so sparkly!" she managed to get out.

"Yeah, yeah…" he muttered for the millionth time today, brushing the irritating contents off of his face.

She reached her arm up and brushed her hand against his face, causing him to stop. "Why'd you stop brushing it all off? Don't you want it off?" Kagome said as she busily brushed the glitter and confetti off her face, taking her time on the ones that managed to be glued on.

"Yeah, well…" Inuyasha thought of a retort. "Your hand's in the way."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Mm hmm."

"Now," Kagome slapped his cheek. "It's your turn, Mr. Playboy Bunny."

Inuyasha groaned as the memoirs of his attire came into mind. How could a tiny little piece of paper with the number '4' on it be so evil!

"Do I have to?" he whined like a puppy, pouting at Kagome. There was still no way he would get dressed up as the Playboy Bunny… that job was for Miroku or something!

"Yes, you have to!" she tapped his nose, successfully stopping his tempting pout.

He let out a frustrated growl. Kagome only ignored him and placed the wand on the trunk, took off her wings, and proceeded in taking off her shirt. Before she did though, she spoke to Inuyasha.

"Do you plan on standing there and watching me strip or are you going to look away and let me keep my dignity?" she stated bluntly, fingers resting on the ends of her shirt.

Inuyasha blushed and stuttered, not getting any complete words out. He gave in and just plopped down on the floor next to Miroku, crossing his arms over his chest and the noticeably ruby red blush on his cheeks growing darker.

Kagome plopped down on the floor next to him with a relaxed sigh. "Inuyasha, yooou're up!" She imitated a baseball game announcer with the same deep, manly voice.

Said man quietly got up, slightly sulking, and lazily walked over to the trunk. A few sighs could be heard after a moment of silence after the rustling clothes, and they knew he had found the outfit. "Why the hell do we have a Playboy Bunny costume in our trunk anyway…?" Inuyasha muttered as he slipped on his new attire. 'I swear I'm going rip their heads off in their sleep if they make fun of me...'

Another sigh was heard, annoying the hell out of everyone. "Okay, okay, I'm done…" he said in a bored tone, though it was lightly laced with worry and embarrassment.

An eruption of laughter followed the view of Inuyasha's outfit, along with the roar of a 'shut up!'

A stretchy black material that was similar to a strapless one piece swimsuit covered Inuyasha's body, clinging to his broad chest and… the areas that shall be unmentioned. Of course, you couldn't forget the little white ball of foof that we called a bunny's tail.

Black fish net stockings with tiny diamond holes slipped only up to the bottom of his thigh, in which the group questioned him. "I couldn't pull it all the way up…" he muttered, embarrassed as the group laughed harder and tears of mirth fell from their eyes.

The black heels on his feet were obviously struggled on, and the bunny ears on top of his head were thrown on carelessly, looking quite ridiculous near his dog hears that were already on top of his head. The little black bow tied around his neck only completed the Playboy Bunny imitation.

And to add to all of that, he was muscular. Would you like to see a person with muscular arms, chest, and legs in a Playboy Bunny suit? Disturbing, yet hilarious.

"HEE, HEE, HEE!" Miroku somewhat giggled in a high pitched voice, ceasing Sango and Kagome's laughter and causing everyone to stare at him.

"…What?" Miroku asked, thoroughly confused as to why they stared at him as if he was a monkey with three heads.

They all shook their heads, while Inuyasha's rabbit ears fell off, causing more laughter to rise.

"Damn you all," Inuyasha muttered as he practically ripped off his costume and the group turned away, knowing he had no boxers on.

I mean, how could a guy wear the Playboy Bunny outfit, where the cover up cut off at the very top of your thighs, not show his boxers? And Inuyasha definitely was not someone who would wear tightie whities.

They all shuddered, taking note never to touch the Playboy Bunny in the trunk.

- - - -

"…En gars!" Kagome shouted as she poked Inuyasha in the side with a chop stick. She was posed as if she were a French person having a one sided sword fight, obviously with Inuyasha since he was being poked repeatedly with the eating utensil, vein popping from forehead.

"Kagome…" he warned her before blowing a casket.

"Yes, Inuyasha?" She stood with a straight posture, chop stick behind her back and looking rather innocent.

Inuyasha let out a puff of air from his mouth. "Never mind," he said, turning back to the counter where he was getting all of their jumbo ice cream sundaes ready. Kagome grinned behind his back, and her face turned neutral and she whistled as Inuyasha quickly turned back around at her, looking suspicious.

Kagome stood on her toes and looked over his shoulder at the four big dish-like bowls of sundaes. Five scoops of vanilla ice cream, ponds of chocolate syrup swirled around and on top of them, and he was yet to be done. She took a look at the cans of whip cream beside his arm as he carefully swirled the chocolate syrup onto the ice cream, putting full concentration on it. A bowl of colorful sprinkles and another bowl of cherries stood beside the cans.

A grin came upon her face as she slowly made her way to Inuyasha's side, taking one can of whip cream. Inuyasha turned to Kagome with a face that looked like a mix of angry and confused. "Hey, what are you—!" he was interrupted when a jumble of whip cream was sprayed into his mouth, which was wide open in his vocalizations.

He swallowed the mouthful of cream that had been sprayed from the can of whip cream. He wiped his mouth clean with the back of his hand and grinned, taking a can of his own. "So, you wanna play dirty? We can play dirty," Inuyasha's eyes held an unmistakable twinkle as his hand, not noticeable to Kagome, slowly but gradually moved up before flashing all the way and pressing on the nozzle.

The whip cream blasted from the can and on Kagome's collar bones, where it slowly slid down into the 'contents' of her dotted shirt.

She held onto her chest and gaped at his face, red from obscured laughter. "You didn't."

"Oh, but I did," he replied, can in hand ready for its next shooting.

Kagome's eyes shot to the side where the opened bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup stood full and alone on the counter. She took a glance back at Inuyasha and made eye contact, and he then took a look at the syrup. They both shot to the counter and Kagome managed to grasp the bottle in her left hand, grinning triumphantly. In her right hand was the spare can of whip cream, and they both held out, ready to be shot at Inuyasha.

She surprised him when her arms locked around his neck, can of whip cream and bottle of chocolate syrup still in hand. "H-huh?" he said, confused, but returned the embrace.

"Inuyasha, you know, you're the greatest best friend in the world," she said with her mouth beside his neck, letting her hot breath tickle his skin and make him shiver in inexplicable pleasure.

Just as he leaned down to kiss her cheek in thanks, the loud sound of a nozzle spraying, quite loud and near his ears he might have added, and the wet, creamy feeling on his head snapped him out of his stupor and stopped him from the kiss.

"Hey, that was dirty!" he stared at her wildly grinning face, although he was happy it made her happy. His hand flew up to the cream and he grabbed some, finding chocolate in it too.

Kagome blew the nozzle of the can as someone would to a gun that had just shot out a bullet. "Well, you did say 'we can play dirty'." She sprayed whip cream into her mouth and licked her lips almost suggestively after swallowing. She bounced over to him and tip toed, placing her finger in the cream as if she was going to taste test it.

"You know, that cream looks good on your head… let's see if it looks good anywhere else!" Before Inuyasha could respond, the cream was smeared across his face and down his neck, where it stopped from the lack of cream. "You look very pretty, Inuyasha! It matches with your hair!" she mock clapped with mocking 'starry' eyes.

"You're mean," he pouted, coming closer. Kagome lost her mind and found her self feeling guilty almost, at least, until she felt whip cream over her shoulders, arms, and neck. Her tank top like shirt gave him more access to her skin, and he secretly enjoyed spreading the cream all over her… it seemed almost seductive.

"I swear I'm going to…" Kagome held her fist up, looking angry, although there was a trace of a slight smile coming on. "You're going to what?" Inuyasha encouraged her.

She pounced on top of Inuyasha unexpectedly, 'weapons' in hand. She straddled his hips and spread the whip cream and chocolate syrup all around his body as his eyes were shut closed. Kagome quickly snatched the sprinkles while he was wiping himself off and poured some on him, still keeping in mind that they had sundaes to make.

Inuyasha surprised her when they were flipped over, with Kagome on the floor and him straddling her. "Your turn," he grinned wickedly, 'attacking' as she squealed and let out little screams when some contents went down her dotted tank top-like shirt.

Pressing down on the nozzle, Inuyasha found that no cream sprayed from the hole. "Aw… no more," he said as he checked the chocolate syrup, also finding none. He through them to the side and fell down softly on Kagome in exhaustion and sighing in the process, while Kagome let out an 'oomph' from the unanticipated weight.

He placed his lips on her cream and chocolate covered cheek and lightly kissed it before starting to suckle lightly on it. The blood rushed up to her cheeks as Inuyasha grinned down at her. "You taste good," he laughed.

Kagome's face burned even more as Sango and Miroku burst through the door, trying to find out what the commotion was. Miroku's signature lecherous grin came onto his face as he caught sight of the two teenagers, supposedly only 'best friends', on the floor and one straddling the other, with whip cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles on each other.

"What were you two doing?" His voice was too repulsively perverted.

"We're making little play mates for the future batch of a million kids you two are going to have, so shut up and leave," Inuyasha grinned while holding Kagome closer, who had already turned a dark red, too embarrassed to have been angry.

Sango shrugged nonchalantly. "Okay, let's go back, Miroku." The two friends entered back into the living room and continued on playing Monopoly, where Sango was winning effortlessly.

"Little… play mates!" Kagome asked incredulously, still terribly embarrassed and currently digging a little hole into Inuyasha's chest with her face.

He shrugged the best he could with Kagome's arms around his chest. "Hey, didn't you hear Sango say 'okay'? That meant she agreed with 'the future batch of a million kids' she's going to have with Miroku."

Kagome giggled and his lips touched her nose, before nuzzling her nose with his own. A snap shot sound and a flash stopped their little moment. They looked to the left where the second door was, finding Touga with a digital camera in hand.

"You two are just too cute!" he mock squealed as a mother would, squeezing his large hands together.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and pushed himself off Kagome with his hands, the floor supporting him. "Yeah, whatever," he murmured as he helped Kagome up.

Kagome brought her finger up to her cheek and wiped a bit of cream and chocolate off, and stuck it in her mouth. "Hm… I taste good!" she grinned.

Touga shook his head and laughed, giving off a warm tremor. "Go ahead and get cleaned up, Kagome; you can wear Inuyasha's clothes again."

She nodded happily and skipped out the door to the shower. Inuyasha continued on finishing the sundaes as his father watched. He placed two dishes of ice cream in the freezer and held two, handing them to Sango and Miroku in the living room where they gladly accepted it.

He entered the kitchen again and leaned against the counter, sighing. "Inuyasha, I must ask you something…" Touga started.

Inuyasha opened one of his closed eyes, quickly sending a glance at his dad. "Yeah?"

"Do you love Kagome?" he stated the topic bluntly, shocking Inuyasha to the bone. He stayed silent, though the urging and powerful nature of his father pushed him into answering.

"Well, I'm not sure… I have these feelings, but I don't know if I'm even supposed to actually love my best friend… I mean, we've known each other forever, but, uh… yeah," he finished lamely, though started and ended truthfully, as he thought it in his mentality.

Touga nodded. "I see," he walked over to his son and patted his back firmly, and Inuyasha got the feeling that the pat was almost… as if he was proud. His father's obviously larger and more experienced calloused hands gave something somewhat of comfort into his body, and it made him feel as if he was the scared little five year old boy again.

Inuyasha was left to ponder alone in the kitchen as Touga exited, making the kitchen doors swing back and forth, showing faint colors of the hallway walls and his father's tall retreating form.

Kagome lathered the shampoo in her hair with her hands, and stood under the shower head's pounding water as the soap rinsed off with her eyes closed. The steam that rose from the heated shower lightly touched the ceiling, slightly moistening it as a fragrance vaguely glided through the room, imprinting itself to the air.

Her breath slowly came out through her nose as the evened air being exhaled signaled her relaxed state.

A small smile played on her lips as her head lowered ever so slightly, as the steam surrounded and swirled around her, creating an almost ethereal scene. She hugged her own small form as the thought that had automatically came in her mind, causing her smile, came to mind once more.

'Smells like Inuyasha…'

3512 words :D

I'll TRY to update faster, but please don't say 'work on updating' or 'update faster this time', because I AM only human. It makes me feel real bad, because it seems like you're disappointed with me or something. If I updated everything in one week it'd be crappy and short :x

SPECIAL THANKS TO Secret-punk-rocker. You made me feel better and I was really happy you understood how I felt; I AM only human… not some kind of update machine-computer thing ox And, Shy Sweetie for sending me the unnecessary extra reviews. Oh, and 350th reviewer! Yay:P

Oh, and you know what? If every person who put my story on alert, I could have almost 100 reviews per update, plus more for the people who review chapterly and DON'T put story alert. What's up with that O,O

I'd be a happy camper if all you story-alert people reviewed, each and every one. VERY happy camper XD That would be reeeal nice. It'd make a BIG difference if all of you reviewed at least ONE chapter… that's all I'm asking.

Some chapters of this story have more hits than the WHOLE story of Fate's Tryst. That makes me feel gloomy. :(

Thanks a bunch. :D
