Kagome And Sango's Plan

--------------------------------

Kagome was on cloud nine. Inuyasha was kissing her! This was what she always wanted. It felt so wonderful to have his arms wrapped around her. She would have kissed him longer if it didn't seem so strange. Finally, she had to force herself to break away. She pushed herself away from him and stared at him in shock. "INUYASHA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

He looked at her confused. "What's the matter, Kagome? I thought you liked my kissing you."

"I do… but I don't… Oh, I don't know!" She covered her face with her hands.

Inuyasha hugged her. "I understand," he whispered. "You don't like premarital kissing… Well, that's okay. I'll wait."

"WHAT!?" She pulled herself away from him again. "Okay, I'm getting scared right now!"

He sighed. "But Kagome… I love you."

Her eyes bugged out. "Could you repeat that?"

He smiled as he moved closer. "I said, I love you…"

"But I… I thought you loved Kikyo."

He shook his head. "I used to… but I don't anymore. Right now, all I can think about is you and how much I love you… Do you understand Kagome?"

Kagome blinked. She didn't know what to say.

He looked concerned. "Kagome… what is it?" Then, a look of terror crossed his face. "You're not in love with someone else, are you!?"

"What?… Oh, no. I just--"

"--It's Koga, isn't it!?" He reached for his belt and drew out the Tetseiga. "Well, I'll fight for you Kagome! I'll not let anyone else have you! Where is he!?"

Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha… EVERYONE! SNAP OUT OF IT!" She took off running out of the room.

"Kagome! Wait!" Inuyasha chased after her.

o O o

The girls all ran to Kaede's house and told her everything. Kaede was just as surprised. "Well, this is something!"

The girls nodded. "Yeah… It's like they just woke up in love, or something!"

At that moment, Shoga started sobbing. "IT'S NOT FAIR! I MADE THAT SOUP FOR MYOGA!"

They all looked at her funny. "What does that soup have to do with any of this?" Sango asked.

Shoga sniffled. "Remember that pink stuff I had you put in it? That was actually a love potion."

"WHAT!?" they all screamed at once.

"It's not all my fault!" Shoga exclaimed. "I told you all not to eat any of it!"

"And just what made you think that they were gonna listen to you anyway!?" Kagome exclaimed.

Shoga just started sobbing again.

They all sighed. "Well, what do we do now?" Kagome asked.

"Easy. We have to tell them the truth," Sango replied.

Kilala meowed and nodded.

Kaede smirked. "This whole thing is a complete riot! I never thought that they would act like this!… Well, Miroku, maybe. But Inuyasha and Shippo?"

"We know… We're just as shocked as you are," Kagome said.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Kaede asked.

In came the boys, all of them looking concerned. They each sat down on the opposite sides of their individual sweethearts.

Kaede stood up. "I'll leave you all alone." With that, she left the hut.

"Ladies," Miroku began. " we just wanted to apologies for our behavior this morning." He reached over and grabbed Sango's hand. "But when a man loves a woman as much as we love you all, it's hard to control ourselves."

Kagome sighed. "Miroku… I can't really say that this is our of the norm for you, but there's something we have to tell you."

Shippo sighed dreamily as he stared at Kilala. "Whatever it is, we'll listen, my delicate little rose…"

Kilala sweat dropped.

Kagome bit her lip. "Well… Um, the thing is that--"

"--We just want to wait until marriage before we rush into anything!" Sango exclaimed.

Kagome looked at her in shock. "WHAT!?"

"Well, why didn't you just say so?" Inuyasha asked. "We'll wait."

Kagome chuckled nervously. "Uh, Sango? Can I talk to you OUTSIDE for a minute?"

o O o

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Kagome shouted in Sango's face. "We agreed to tell them the truth!"

"I know… But the way Miroku looked at me was so sweet!… I just couldn't do it. Besides, do we really need to?"

"Of course we do!"

"Kagome, let's just wait for a little while and see how it goes with them… And if it goes well, we'll just keep them this way!"

Kagome shook her head. "I can't do that."

Sango leered. "At least wait until you see Kikyo again before you tell Inuyasha the truth."

Kagome was about to protest, but stopped to think about it for a moment. Oh, she could just see the look on Kikyo's face when she saw Inuyasha clinging to Kagome like rubber cement! She leered along with Sango. "I like the way you think… Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer."

"MEOW!" Kilala exclaimed.

"Oh, right… There's still the matter of Shippo being in love with Kilala. It just wouldn't look right." Kagome said.

Sango paced around. "True… But you know, Shippo can shape shift. All he would have to do is change into a guardian cat and there would be no real problem in sight."

"Agreed."

"MEOW!" Kilala was frantically shaking her head.

Sango bent down and pet her. "It's only for a little while, Kilala. I promise."

Kilala lowered her head and sighed.

Kagome smirked. "This is great!" She exclaimed. "I can finally have Inuyasha all to myself and not worry about stupid Kikyo!"

o O o

The girls re-entered the hut to find the boys waiting patiently like little kids waiting for their candy. "Boys," Sango began. " we've decided to give you another chance. But you have to behave."

"Oh, we will!" they all exclaimed at once.

Sango nodded. "Good! Here's the plan: Inuyasha will go back with Kagome to her era, Miroku will stay with me at the inn and Shippo will stay with Kilala at Kaede's house so that we can all spend some… private time together."

The boys all nodded as they stood up and left the hut with the girls. "Sango, let me carry that heavy boomerang for you. You must be exhausted from carrying it around everywhere." Miroku happily took the large weapon from Sango, who was smirking.

"Kilala, let me fluff up your tail for you," Shippo said as he reached into his kimono and took out his trusty comb. As he brushed her hair and stroked her fur, she purred.

Inuyasha was clearly next. "Kagome, let me… uh… um."

She giggled. "It's all right, Inuyasha. I don't need anything right now."

Inuyasha thought long and hard before exclaiming, "I know!" He grabbed Kagome and picked her up, cradling her bridal style. "Let me carry you back home! You're always on your feet all the time!"

Kagome blinked, surprised. "Um, okay!" In her mind, she was chuckling evilly. "Kikyo, I wish you could see this!"
