Chapter 3

Kagome was laughing harder than she'd ever laughed before. Sango was chasing Miroku around the big oak tree, yelling insults and throwing acorns at him. Kagome was doubled up.

"YOU ASS! COME BACK HERE BITCH! STAY STILL, WOULD YOU? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO MORTALLY WOUND YOU?" Sango's loud voice carried all the way to the roof. Inuyasha began to chuckle as well. Soon, after listening to all of the ludicrous threats from Sango, he was cracking up and rolling around on the roof, laughing his head off. After he had gotten a hold of himself, he leaned on the railing and watched some more.

Finally, Miroku stopped running. Instead, he climbed up the tree and hid in the branches. Sango stopped and glared at the tree. From Inuyasha's position, he could see Miroku shuddering and breathing fast. He looked absolutely ridiculous! Inuyasha started howling with laughter again.

Kagome looked up. Her eyes scoured the sky until it landed on the roof. There, leaning against the rail, was the hottest guy she had ever seen. He had long silver hair and the most adorable puppy ears on his head, which were twitching. His eyes were scrunched up from laughing but he opened them soon enough, and Kagome found that they were a deep golden color.

"Hey!" she shouted up at him. "Hey you! On the roof!"

Inuyasha blinked and looked down. The girl with the black hair was looking up at him. Inuyasha blinked again. She was beautiful. Her pale skin stood out against her raven black hair that reached her hips. Her eyes were a molten brown, like chocolate. Her mouth moved, and Inuyasha realized that she was talking.

"… join us? We've got plenty of sandwiches anyways… and since those two aren't gonna eat any anytime soon…" she trailed off, looking at him hopefully.

Inuyasha shrugged and- get this- he jumped. JUMPED off the roof and landed beside her with a thud. The black haired beauty was staring at him with what seemed like admiration and concern. He sat down and looked at the overflowing basket.

"Can I take one?" He asked.

Kagome had to pinch her leg to get her head out of the gutter. He had the most beautiful voice… a little rough, but she could tell there was something else in there… a certain tenderness…

"sure!" she said and Inuyasha melted a little on the inside. Her voice was so melodic… he blinked and looked around to make sure no one was watching. Then he smacked himself in the head and fell backwards off the table, knocking Kagome off with him. He rolled to his left the same time she rolled to her right. Inuyasha stared into Kagome's eyes for a second before both of them realized that they were no more than an inch apart.

"AHHHH!" Kagome screamed, jumping up and taking a few steps back. She was bright red in the face, and Inuyasha couldn't help but notice how cute she looked when she blushed.

Slowly, he got up too and apologized.

"it's okay…" Kagome mumbled, sitting back down.

Soon, the awkwardness was gone, and Kagome and Inuyasha were chatting like they had known each other for years.

Sango was sitting at the base of the tree. She sighed again, and looked up at Miroku. He was sitting on a branch and was leaning against the trunk, looking up at the sky through a hold in the leaves. He looked so peaceful when he was calm. Maybe I should just let him go… what did he even do… I forgot… Sango was about to tell Miroku that he could come down. Then he turned to her, and she saw the bright red handprint. She was instantly angry again. Miroku had seen how her face had gone from pitying to angry. Now she was growling. Miroku smiled on the inside. He had never seen a woman this angry about his groping problem before. He vowed not to lose this one, jumped from the tree, and sprinted around with Sango chasing after him until WHAM!

Miroku fell down, completely unconscious.

Sango smiled, stuck her hand in the air, and caught her massive boomerang. Clapping her hands together to rid them of the dust, she walked calmly back to Kagome and the silver haired boy, who were gazing at her in fear.
