Sango doesn't know what to think. What was Miroku trying to pull here? Did he mean what he said? Or is he just trying to get some? Sango tries to think this through logically. She looks up at Miroku, who is gazing into her eyes. "Well…he seems to be truthful…" Sango though. "I just have no idea."

Kagome sits in her tent with Shippo. "I wonder where Inuyasha is," she thinks. "I haven't really talked to him since the kiss…I wonder how he feels about it. If he feels the same way as me…No. Of course he doesn't. He's still in love with Kikyo. He could never love me. The kiss was just staged, that's all. At least, to him."

Inuyasha sits on the bank of a river, looking at his reflection in the water. "If only Kagome knew…maybe things would be different. But, that kiss meant nothing to her, I'm sure. It was just for her friends. Hell, why'd this have to happen? I knew I cared for her, but…I had no idea how much until now. And the fact that she probably doesn't feel the same…" Inuyasha jumps up. "I'm a demon, dammit!" he says. "I'm not supposed to let myself feel this way! Still…I wish I knew."

Miroku takes Sango's hands. "Sango," he begins, but Sango cuts him off. "Miroku, let's just…let's just worry about Inuyasha and Kagome for now, okay? Then we'll talk about us."

"Sango…okay. If that's what you want."

They head back to the camp site to find Kagome and Shippo. "Shippo, can we have a word with you?" asks Sango. Shippo looks up. "Yeah, sure." He follows them back outside. "Shippo, there's something we need to talk to you about." begins Miroku. "It's about Kagome and Inuyasha."

"Oh, is this about the kiss?"

"Somewhat, yes. Shippo, tomorrow, Kagome is supposed to go back home to bring back some more medicines and food."

"But, she was just home a week ago."

"Yes, well, thanks to a certain someone, we're out of food. Anyway, When she comes back, we're all going to have a picnic. But, here's the plan: It will secretly just be the two of them."

Shippo looks confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, after a minute or so after the food has been made, we'll all, Sango, you, and I, will make an excuse to leave, and just leave the two of them alone."

"Miroku, should we really be meddling like this?"

Sango and Miroku look at each other. They hadn't thought about this being a little too personal. "Well," Sango starts. "If we don't do something like this, how will they ever end up together? They both love each other, but Kagome's too shy to admit her true feelings, and afraid they won't be returned, and Inuaysha's too much of a bone head." Shippo ponders this. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Inuyasha is pretty dense." Sagno claps her hands together. "Good! Then it's settled!"

Kagome wakes to a thin sliver of light coming from the opening of her tent. "Morning already?" she yawns. "I guess I'd better get a move on if I want to make it back in time for lunch." She gets up, and picks up her yellow backpack, and leaves the tent. "Where are you off to?" Kagome jumps, startled. She turns to see Inuyasha. "You know I was going back home today." Inuyasha rolls his eyes. "Yeah, I know, but you were just there." Kagome's cheeks turn a light pink. "Yeah, I remember. But, we've run out of food, and last time I forgot to bring back more medicine. I'll be back by lunch time, so don't worry about me." Inuyasha scoffs. "Huh! Like I'd be worried!" Kagome looks at him. "Okay, then."

She turns and starts walking in the direction of the well. As she walks, Kagome has multiple thoughts running through her mind. Inuyasha's voice rings in her head. "Like I'd be worried!" Kagome sighs. "Inuyasha, why? Why can't you see how I feel about you? And why won't you feel the same way? After everything Kikyo's done…you still choose her." The throws her bag into the well before jumping down herself.

Inuyasha sits and waits by the well. "Damn it, Kagome! You said you'd be back by lunch time!" Noon was changing to evening, and Kagome had still not returned. Inuyasha decides that he's getting hungry, and sitting by the well won't make her come back any faster, so he heads back to camp. "Kagome's still not back?" Miroku asks. "Do you see her?" Inuyasha shots back. "Now, now, don't get all huffy."

"Well, she said she's be back at a certain time, and she's still not here! The sun is setting! Where the hell is she?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure she's not meaning to keep us waiting."

"What if…what if something happened?"
