On with the story:

-Chapter 12- The Second Day of Camp

DISCLAIMER: If I had one wish, Inuyasha would be mine!

Sango was awakened by the sunlight that streamed through the window of the cabin. It shone directly on her face, making it impossible for her to sleep. She stirred slightly, and then her eyes flew open. Damn. She couldn't sleep anymore. She looked slowly around the cabin, expecting to see her pink and black room, or even Kagome's pink fluffy room, but instead she found herself in a huge pink and purple room. Her face screwed up in confusion. Where was she? She looked around slowly, absorbing the room and processing it into her mind. Strange. She wasn't in her bed. She was in a bunk bed. What was going on?

Then it suddenly clicked to her. She was at summer camp! Her mom had forced her and Kagome to go. She groaned to herself. She had thought that it was all a horrible nightmare, but it wasn't. This was reality. Sango felt like crying as she dragged herself out of bed. Her whole summer; down the tubes! She and Kagome had had it all planned out so perfectly! But where were they now? In summer camp...

"Damn you mom," Sango muttered to herself. Immediately she started planning her revenge on her mom for getting her stuck in this lame summer camp.

Sango walked over to the dresser still grumbling about how evil her mom was. She started to brush her hair in the mirror when something caught her eye and she stopped brushing immediately. She squinted hard in the mirror, and then looked down at herself. Wait a minute. Something was wrong. Why was she still in the clothes from yesterday? Hadn't she worn them at the party last night? So why was she still wearing them? Didn't she change before she went bed? As a matter of fact, when did she get to bed? Last thing she remembered, she was dancing and then everything went black. So... when did she get back to the cabin from the party?

Sango walked over to Rin's bed. Under the blanket was Rin all curled up into an adorable little ball. Sango rolled her eyes as she carefully peeled back the cover, to get a better glimpse at the small girl. She slept peacefully, but Sango wasn't concerned about that. She wanted to see what Rin was wearing. To her surprise, Rin was still in her clothes from the party as well. Hmmm... so Rin hadn't changed either. Strange... very strange...

Quickly Sango ran through all the possibilities in her head. One: she could have sleepwalked here. But that wasn't likely. She never sleepwalked. Not ever. Okay option two: she had actually imagined going to the party when in reality she had never left the cabin. Of course that would mean that she was crazy... Okay, on to option three! Someone carried her here. But who? No one here really knew her that well except for Kagome and Rin, and they were probably too weak to lift her. So who could have carried her then?

Sango inhaled deeply and a sweet smell drifted into her nose. She looked around confused. What smelled so good? She grabbed the front of her shirt and put it to her nose and inhaled deeply. It was her shirt! She smelled… so good! Must be the cologne/ perfume of the person who had carried her. But who? Who did she know that smelled so good? She thought hard on it, and then suddenly gasped. It couldn't be who she thought it was... could it? Would he actually...? Well, guess there was only one way to find out. She'd have to do a smell comparison at breakfast...

Speaking of breakfast, she, Kagome and Rin should get going! She headed over to Rin's bed and yanked the covers off this time. She shook Rin's shoulders and whispered her name repeatedly. The small girl stirred slightly before mumbling, "No... too... much... PANCAKES!"

Sango rolled her eyes and giggled. Silly Rin. She shook Rin harder until finally she awoke. Her eyes opened and she stared up at Sango sleepily.

"Mmmm… Sango? What are you doing in my room?" she mumbled. Sango smiled. No one was used to the fact that they were at summer camp instead of their own house.

"Rin, we're at summer camp, remember?"

"Hmmm...? Summer... camp?" Rin said sleepily. "How'd I get here?"

"The bus took us here. Wake up Rin!"

"Ugh, I'm up!" Even as she said it, Rin rolled back over and pulled the covers over her head. Sango sighed. She didn't want to have to do this...

"Sesshomaru stopped by the cabin earlier. He said he wants to meet you at breakfast in the next ten minutes."

Immediately Rin jumped out of bed, and without saying a word rushed into the bathroom to shower. Sango giggled at Rin's overexcitement. Looks like someone had a crush on Sesshomaru… (not calling any names 'ahem, *cough cough* Rin')… Should Sango tell her that she was lying...? Eh... maybe later.

Well, Rin was taking a shower now, so guess Sango should start getting ready too. She went over to the closet and browsed through her clothes to pick out an outfit. She pulled out two tops and held them up in front of her in the mirror. Hmmm... red or blue? Agh! She couldn't choose! Wait a minute... she could ask Kagome! Quickly she headed over to Kagome's bed and climbed up the ladder. She threw back to the covers, but instead of seeing a figure with long, raven hair she saw... nothing! Sango was puzzled. Where in the world was Kagome? If someone had lifted her and Rin back their cabins last night, wouldn't they have lifted Kagome back too? So where was she?

Did she get up early? Nah. She had gotten less sleep than Sango yesterday morning. In fact, leave it up to Kagome she would still be sleeping until probably 3:00. So why wasn't she in bed now? Was it possible that she went to visit... someone? Or... what if she never came home?

Suddenly Sango heard voices outside the bedroom door. Immediately she froze and listened. She heard a feminine voice and a rough, masculine voice talking. It sounded like Kagome and... Inuyasha? He was asking her if she was okay or something. Then she heard Kagome tell him to save her a seat next to him at breakfast. Oohh... then heard footsteps, then Inuyasha stopped and said something to her, and then she heard the door slam.

Sango couldn't take it anymore. She rushed over to the door and without hesitating she yanked it open. Standing there was a surprised looking Kagome. Her hand hung in the air, curled around space (where the doorknob once was) and her body was frozen in an awkward position, as if she had just been about to walk. Sango's face scrunched up in confusion.

"Ka...Kagome?" she said hesitantly.

"Sango?" Kagome blinked in surprise.

"In the flesh. What are you doing...? I mean, why are you out there?"

"Oh... um...well, you know, just catching some fresh, morning air," Kagome said uncomfortably. "And you?"

"I just woke up..."

"Oh. You're waking up pretty late," Kagome said awkwardly. Sango rolled her eyes.

"Seriously now Kagome. Let's drop the charade and just tell me straight up what's going on," Sango said. Kagome tried to look innocent.

"What charade?" she asked in a poor attempt at an angelic voice. Sango rolled her eyes again.

"Okay, fine. Forget it. But I'd like to know why I just heard Inuyasha's voice a few minute ago."

"Eh?" Kagome said, surprised. Sango gave a tiny smirk.

"Yea. You told him to save you a seat at breakfast?"

Kagome looked away from Sango's stare sheepishly. She had heard that...?!

"Maybe..." she mumbled, avoiding Sango's eyes. Sango gave a bigger smirk this time. She got her.

"So, would you care to come inside and explain to me why he was in our cabin and why you're up so early? And while you're at it, you may as well tell me why you're in the same clothes from last night," Sango said. Kagome just nodded her head, still looking down. Sango turned to walk inside the bedroom, but then stopped when she saw Kagome still standing there. She turned back around to face her best friend.

"You coming?"

"Um... well... you see... the thing is... I can't move," Kagome whispered. Sango raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"My legs are like jelly right now. If I walk, I'll collapse. Inuyasha... he... uh... had to carry me here," Kagome said, a little embarrassed.

"In his arms?" Sango asked surprised.

"Yea..."

"Okay, that's it! You are spilling everything NOW!" Sango said.

"I have to get inside first San!" Kagome whined.

"Oh yea. Rin! Come here!" Sango yelled. Rin appeared a few seconds later with nothing but a towel wrapped around her body and hair.

"Yes? Oh, Kagome-chan, when did you get here?"

"No time for small talk Rin. We have to help lift her inside," Sango said.

"Why?"

"She'll explain later," Sango said, shooting Kagome a meaningful look. Kagome looked down at her feet.

"Okay Rin, I'll grab her legs, you get her arms. Got it?" Sango said.

"Okay," Rin nodded. Sango carefully lifted up Kagome from her legs and Rin lifted her by the arms and in that way the two girls carried their best friend into the bedroom and lay her down on the extra bed. Then, they collapsed on the bed, tired.

"Phew Kags! You need to work out or something! You're so heavy!" Sango exclaimed. Kagome's face turned red.

"Or maybe you guys are just weak!" she shot back, "You can't expect those puny arms to be able to lift a cardboard box let alone me!"

Sango rolled her eyes.

"Anyway. On to more important matters," she said. "Tell us why you're just coming back to the cabin. And why I heard Inuyasha's voice. And why you're still in your clothes from last night."

Kagome looked away sheepishly.

"Well...you see...it's a long story really..."

Sango glanced at the clock. "I got time," she said, although she really didn't...

Kagome sighed. Guess there was no avoiding it any longer.

"Okay...I'll tell you. But please don't freak out or anything," she begged. Sango and Rin nodded. Kagome sighed again. "Okay, here's how it all happened...

"This morning I woke up and started freaking out because I wasn't in my room... only to find out that I was in Inuyasha's cabin..."

Rin and Sango gasped.

"In his lap..."

They gasped again, louder this time.

"With his arms wrapped around me..."

This time their gasps were very loud and in a tone almost akin to horror.

"Are you serious Kags?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded sheepishly.

"Wait a minute. So you're telling me that you slept with Inuyasha-kun?" Rin said. "Well there's no denying the fact that you love him now!"

"Rin!" Kagome yelled. "Don't say it like that! Please! It makes me sound... well... sort of like a slut. And I'm not. Sure, I may have slept in his cabin, but it's not like we did anything. I mean; how could we? I was just in his lap in the sofa..."

"I think the question here is how could you not!" Rin said evilly. Kagome shot her a dark look.

"Not funny Rin!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Sango interrupted. "How'd you end up in his cabin in the first place?"

Kagome looked down at her hands.

"Well...you see... we kind of fell asleep at the party so someone lifted us back to our cabins, and Inuyasha just happened to be the one to lift me. And... well... he was taking me back to our cabin with you guys but... there were some technical difficulties..."

"Technical difficulties?" Sango raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, well physical difficulties."

"Explain," Rin demanded.

"Okay, I was sort of having a bad dream and so my arms may have locked around his neck tightly and maybe he couldn't have gotten them off so he sort of had to carry me back to his cabin so that we both could sleep..." Kagome responded. Her friends stared at her curiously.

"So what you're really saying is that you grabbed Inuyasha in a tight choke old and he didn't want to wake you so he took you back to his cabin and you slept in his lap and his arms cuddling up to him all night?" Rin said.

"No! Maybe... okay yes," Kagome sighed. Rin and Sango squealed in delight and laughter. "But you have to promise not to tell anyone!" she said firmly.

"We promise!" they both said simultaneously.

"Good," Kagome said, relief washing over her face. After that, the room was silent for a while. Then, Rin had to go and break the beautiful silence (grrr... that Rin! Lol)

"So did ya kiss him?"

Kagome almost fell off the edge of the bed when Rin asked that. She stared incredulously at Rin, her features twisting into a look akin to horror, but Rin just stared at her with a totally innocent look on her face, as if she had just asked her a totally normal question.

"What?! RIN!" Kagome shrieked.

"Well? Did ya?"

"NO RIN! WHY WOULD I?!" Kagome demanded.

"Well you like him don't you?"

Now Kagome's face was burning red. What was Rin talking about?!

"Where'd you get that idea Rin?!" Kagome asked, a little freaked out.

"'Cause he lifted you back to your cabin and you asked him to save you a seat at breakfast and you guys are always together," Rin said innocently. Kagome was speechless (really what was there for her to say?) Rin smiled smugly.

"Rin is right!" she declared happily. Kagome glared at Rin.

"Rin! I do not like him, and I definitely did not kiss him!" she said. Rin pouted.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Kagome said curtly.

"Well that's no fun."

Kagome sweat-dropped as she stared at Rin. Weird girl…

"Hey Kags, do you have your watch on you?" Sango suddenly asked.

"Huh? Yea, why?" Kagome responded.

"'Cause this clock on the nightstand is wrong. I want to know the time so that I can set it."

"Oh. It's 12:30 p.m.," Kagome replied absent-mindedly.

"Thanks," Sango said. She proceeded to set the clock on the nightstand while Kagome and Rin just sat there staring into space. Then, as if a switch was clicked on in Kagome's head, she suddenly realized the meaning that her words.

"12:30?!" she exclaimed. "Omigosh! I'm supposed to meet Inuyasha! Aw crap; I'm gonna be late!"

Before Sango or Rin could say anything, Kagome peeled off her clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Sango and Rin exchanged a look.

"Okay then..." Rin said. Sango sighed and shook her head.

"Guess I should go shower too then," Sango said. Rin nodded.

"Yea, 'cause you don't look too beautiful right now," she joked. Sango rolled her eyes.

"Rin?" she said.

"Yes?"

"Go put on some clothes."

Twenty minutes later all three girls were dressed and ready to go (Rin had been ready to go ten minutes ago, but the girls had insisted on her helping them with their outfit choices).

"So, how do I look?" Kagome asked, spinning around for her friends to see her outfit from all angles. She was wearing a red halter top and tan khaki short-shorts with red sandals. Her hair was still straight from the day before and she wore it hanging down over her shoulders.

"Like you're going on a date with a hottie," Sango replied grinning. Kagome stuck her tongue out at her.

"Well at least I'm not all dressed up for a date with Miroku," she shot back. Sango made a face. She was wearing a pink tank top, dark blue denim minis and pink flip-flops.

"I don't have a date with that pervert," she said, putting emphasis on her words. "But you have a date with Inuyasha," she added evilly. Kagome's face turned red.

"Do not!" she cried. "I just asked him to save me a seat! God; is that such a crime?!"

Sango took one step back.

"Touchy!" she said. Kagome flushed.

"Sorry," she apologized. Sango rolled her eyes.

"Whatevz."

"Can we get going?!" Rin suddenly said. "The boys must be out there already and I don't want to keep Sesshomaru waiting!"

Sango and Kagome stared at Rin surprised. Since when did Rin care about keeping the guys waiting?

"Well, excuse us for holding you away from your Prince Charming," Sango said sarcastically.

"Yea Rin. We totally didn't mean make you late for your little tet-a-let with Sesshomaru," Kagome said grinning. Rin blushed.

"Guys!" she complained. They burst out laughing.

"Kidding Rin! Let's go!"

"Do you see the girls anywhere?" an impatient Inuyasha asked. His foot was tapping and his eyebrow was twitching very nervously and Miroku couldn't help but snicker.

"Calm down Inuyasha. Remember, with girls you must always exercise patience. When it comes to time they are a whole hour off from us guys. You just have to learn to live with it."

"Why the hell can't they get dressed in ten minutes?!" Inuyasha demanded. "What do they have to fix that we don't?"

Miroku raised an eyebrow. Did he really want him to answer that?

"Well, I would assume that they would take hours just to pick out the right outfit. Then they have to put on makeup and then curl their hair and tweeze their eyebrows. Then they have to ask their friends' opinions, and if it's bad they have to start the process all over. And when they are finally done, they look at themselves in the mirror and moan and groan over any imperfections and try to fix it. Then I think they are ready."

Inuyasha stared at Miroku incredulously. His mouth hung open in disbelief at what his friend had just said.

"Girls go through all of that just to meet us guys?!" he exclaimed. Miroku nodded.

"Yes my friend. Little things such as this "lunch" which has little to no importance to us may be a big deal to girls. In fact, some of them might think of it as a date, and go all out to impress us when we're not even aware of it."

"Wow..." Inuyasha whistled. This was the first time hearing stuff like this. "I wonder if Kagome thinks of this as a date..." he mused to himself. Miroku shrugged.

"Maybe. Who knows? The female mind is a complex and complicated place filled with deep, dark mysterious wonders that guys aren't supposed to enter," he said. Inuyasha snorted.

"Riiight. Thank you Mr. Philosopher," he said sarcastically. Miroku rolled his eyes.

"Hey, aren't those the girls there?" he asked suddenly. Inuyasha's head immediately snapped to the direction where Miroku was pointing, and sure enough the girls were standing there looking around.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Do you see the guys anywhere?" Kagome asked searching through the crowd of children.

"Nope. But I do see two hotties over there," Sango said, smiling and looking at two cute, shirtless guys sitting at table in the corner.

"Sango!" Kagome scolded.

"Sorry..." she muttered.

"Hey...is that Inuyasha?" Kagome suddenly asked.

"Where?" Rin asked.

"There," Kagome said, pointing in one direction.

"You mean the idiot waving at us frantically?"

"Uh, yea…"

"Oh. Yea… I think that is Inuyasha," Rin said squinting so that she could see better.

"He sure looks stupid," Sango commented. All three girls sweat-dropped.

"Well, I think we'd better go over to them before he hurts himself," Kagome said. All three girls giggled as they walked over to the table where Miroku and Inuyasha sat. When they arrived, they stopped walking and just stared at the two, who stared back.

"You can stop waving your arms around now Inuyasha," Kagome laughed. "I'm here."

Inuyasha stopped waving his arms and just smiled at Kagome. She smiled back.

"You really looked like a lunatic just now," she said. Inuyasha just said,

"Hi."

"Hi," she said back, still smiling.

"I saved you a seat," Inuyasha said, motioning to the empty chair beside him.

"Thanks." Kagome walked over to him and sat down. He sat down too, and turned his body toward her in his chair, just staring at her. She stared back at him, not quite sure why, but she didn't really want to look away. And neither did he.

"Hey Miroku," Sango and Rin greeted the black-haired boy. He smiled at them.

"Hello ladies. Nice to see you again. Especially you Sango." He winked at her and Sango rolled her eyes.

"Please sit," he said, pulling out two chairs on either side of him. The girls shrugged and sat down; Sango on his right and Rin on his left.

"So, did you guys sleep well last night?" Sango asked everyone. All she got in response was murmurs and sighs and groans. "Neither did I," she said grinning.

"Where's Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. Miroku and Inuyasha shrugged.

"I don't keep track of that bastard," Inuyasha said, still staring at Kagome.

"Oh, so I'm a bastard now am I?" a cool voice suddenly asked. Instantly everyone felt chills go up their spines, and all heads turned toward the source of the voice. Standing behind Inuyasha was none other than Sesshomaru, and he didn't look very happy.

"Sesshomaru!" Rin chirped happily. All heads turned towards Rin with raised eyebrows, including Sesshomaru.

"Is this how you talk about me when I'm not in your presence?" Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha, ignoring Rin.

"Yea, you got a problem with it?" Inuyasha sneered.

"And what if I do?" Sesshomaru inquired coolly.

"Then come and fix it you bastard," Inuyasha challenged. Kagome quirked an eyebrow, and so did Sesshomaru. He moved dangerously close to Inuyasha and Kagome could see that this would be a fight. Rin did too, because Kagome heard her draw in her breath sharply. She looked over at Rin, and you could see the nervous fear in her eyes. Looked like it was time to break up this fight.

"Come on guys!" Kagome quickly jumped in. "Its way too early in the morning to be fighting like this!"

Both brothers turned to Kagome and glared at her. Hard.

"Actually, its 1:30 in the afternoon," Sesshomaru said coldly. "Fool."

Kagome was offended. She was just trying to stop a fight! Inuyasha noticed the look of offense of Kagome's face.

"Hey! Don't talk to her like that! And don't call her a fool!" he sneered. Kagome was surprised. He was sticking up for her?

"Oh, I'm sorry if I offended your wench. I didn't realize you loved her so much," Sesshomaru replied. Both Inuyasha and Kagome's face lit up.

"I do not love her!" Inuyasha shouted. "She's just one of my friends!"

"Are you sure? It doesn't seem so to me."

"Go burn in hell you son of a bi-"

"Sooo!" Rin quickly cut Inuyasha off. "Who's hungry?"

Again only murmurs and sighs were heard from everyone. Real conversational crowd.

"You hungry Rin?" Sango asked.

"No not really," Rin said. A couple of seconds later her stomach growled quite loudly, proving her wrong. Sango stared curiously at her stomach. Rin blushed.

"Well...maybe a little..." she said sheepishly. Sango laughed.

"Well come on. Let's go get some food."

"Awesome!"

The two girls started to walk off when they were stopped by a male voice.

"Wait! I'm coming too!"

They turned around and saw Miroku heading towards them. He smiled at Sango, and she smiled back until she realized what she was doing. Her smile was quickly changed to a look of indifference.

"Fine. Whatever," she said, trying to hide her delight. Miroku caught on though, and he continued to smile as all three walked off.

"Hey Sesshomaru! You want anything?" Rin called to the daiyoukai. He looked up at her surprised.

"No. I don't eat human food," he stated simply. Rin's eyebrows furrowed, but she just shrugged.

"Okay then."

After Rin, Miroku and Sango left, it was only Kagome, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru left at the table. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru glared at each other and Kagome could feel the tension between the two brothers.

"So, um, guys... nice weather huh?" Kagome said lamely, in a pathetic attempt at light conversation. Again the two boys turned to glare at her and she instantly felt stupid. What was up with them?!

"I guess so," Inuyasha said, not really caring. Kagome felt like an idiot. Sesshomaru just turned around and wordlessly left the table.

"Hey! Where you going?" Kagome called to him.

"I'll be back," he said, not turning to her. Kagome sweat-dropped.

"Is he always so... friendly?" she asked Inuyasha. He just shrugged and went back to staring at her. This time she began to feel self-conscious.

"Um...Inuyasha? Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked awkwardly.

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, snapping out of whatever daze he was in. "Oh, sorry. It's just that... well...you look nice..." he said shyly. Kagome couldn't help a smile from creeping onto her lips.

"Thanks," she said happily. He smiled back.

"Oh yea. About earlier this morning..." Kagome said. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"What about it?"

"Well, sorry if I seemed a bit snappish or anything. It was just such a… surprise, y'know?"

"Yea. Of course. It's cool," Inuyasha said as if it were no big deal. Kagome stared at him hard. Waking up in someone's cabin in their lap with their arms curled around you and your arms around their waist was so a big deal! Unless it had happened to Inuyasha before... somehow that thought made Kagome a little... jealous?

"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Inuyasha asked, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Hmm? Oh. Yea, sure. Shoot."

"Do you-"

Suddenly he was cut off by the arrival of their three friends.

"Hey guys! We're back!" Sango announced in a sing-song voice.

'Oh great...' Kagome thought wryly.

"Hope you two didn't do anything naughty while I was gone," she said winking at them. Their faces turned red.

"Sango!" they both cried in unison. She laughed.

"Chillax guys! I'm kidding!" she said. "Our Kagome's too much of a good girl to do anything scandalous with a boy, right Kagome?"

Kagome's face burned at the memory of that morning, with her emerging from Inuyasha's cabin in his arms, still in the clothes from last night.

"Right..." she mumbled. Inuyasha noticed the look on her face and the tone in her voice, but he didn't question her.

"So, that's lunch?" Inuyasha asked, pointing to Sango's plate. On it was a hard-boiled egg, two pieces of toast with jelly and some orange juice. She nodded.

"Yup."

"Yum yum..." he said sarcastically. They all giggled.

"Yea well Rin practically emptied the lunch table," Sango said, shooting a look at Rin's tray. It was piled so high that it was blocking her face.

"Don't know where all that's going anyway..." Sango muttered. Rin laughed.

"In my stomach silly," she chirped. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He looked over at Miroku's empty tray.

"And I'm guessing that you're testing the new 'invisible food' that they've been bragging about?" he joked. Kagome, Sango and Rin snickered. Miroku shot him a dirty look.

"Not funny," he said. "I wasn't hungry."

"Then why'd you go with them?" Inuyasha asked.

"So that Sango and Rin wouldn't have to walk alone. It was the gentlemanly thing to do," he said, trying to sound all noble. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"So why'd you bring back an empty tray?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku looked at the tray.

"Oh, it's your birthday present," he said, sliding it over to Inuyasha. "There weren't any more doggy bowls. Sorry."

The girls burst out laughing at that and Miroku smirked. Inuyasha however didn't find that funny at all. He scowled at Miroku and crossed his arms, pouting.

"Not funny," he sneered. Miroku just gave him a "now you see how it feels" look.

"I like you guys. You're funny," Rin said giggling.

"Me two," Kagome agreed.

"Definitely," Sango said. The boys exchanged a look of surprise.

"We like you girls too," Miroku said smiling.

"Yea. A lot," Inuyasha said, staring straight into Kagome's eyes. She gulped and her throat suddenly felt dry.

"T-thanks," she whispered back, unable to look away from him, which was just as good because Inuyasha wouldn't look away from her either.

"Hey, where's Kouga?" Miroku suddenly asked, snapping Inuyasha and Kagome out of their trance.

"Oh yea. Where is wolf boy?" Sango asked, looking around surprised.

"Feh. That mangy wolf overslept. He didn't wake up from last night and I sure wasn't gonna do it. I like it better when he's not around anyway," Inuyasha said. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"He must have been tired," she commented.

"Nah. He just needed his beauty sleep. Did you see how ugly he looked yesterday?" Miroku said. Everyone laughed.

"Hey Miroku, you can't sleep ugliness away you know, so he's just wasting his time. His only two options are to either wear a mask or get plastic surgery," Inuyasha said grinning. Everyone laughed again.

"Right you are my friend. But Kouga doesn't know that yet. He's still trying to fix his face by sleeping with those girl facial masks. Poor fool doesn't know that they don't actually work."

"Hey, he didn't have anyone to tell him that boys aren't supposed to wear facial masks or curlers when they sleep, so we can't be too hard on the sissy," Inuyasha snickered.

"Hey, look on the bright side. With him sleeping in those curlers, his hair will be nice and curly and have good body to it," Miroku said. By the time he and Inuyasha were done the girls were on the floor laughing.

"No...more..." Kagome said between laughs.

"Can't...breathe..." Sango gasped for air.

"My stomach hurts!" Rin exclaimed, holding her sides. The three girls just couldn't stop laughing. Inuyasha and Miroku just sat there beaming, happy because of their appreciative audience.

"Thank you! Thank you! That was the comedy stylings of Miroku and Inuyasha! We will be back next week with the latest installment entitled "Sesshomaru: a dog or a demon?" Miroku said. Everyone laughed at that until something they all saw slowly caused their giggles to dissolve and the smile to drop off of their faces. Miroku however didn't seem to see what made their smiles disappear because he still had a huge smile on his face. He looked at his friends' expressions confused.

"What's wrong guys?" he asked puzzled, but they were no longer looking at him. They seemed to be looking at something behind him with terror-struck expressions.

"So you're making jokes about now are you?" came a cold voice. Suddenly Miroku knew why they had stopped laughing. Slowly, and cringing, he turned around only to see Sesshomaru standing there. His mouth was a thin line and he looked unhappy (not that he ever looked happy...)

"Sesshomaru! Back so soon?" Miroku asked nervously. Sesshomaru just glared at him wordlessly.

"Why were you making fun of me?" he asked. Miroku sweat-dropped.

"I wasn't! I swear! I was making fun of Kouga! Tell him guys!" he said, frantically looking to his friends for help. They all looked down at the table or at something else, all avoiding his gaze. They didn't say a word. He sweat-dropped again.

'Some friends...' he thought wryly to himself.

"I don't appreciate you talking about me when I'm not here," Sesshomaru said, moving closer to Miroku. Miroku backed up a little, but he had no space to move because his back was up against the table.

"Can't we settle this in a more civil manner? Like perhaps checkers?" Miroku asked. Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow.

"No."

"Hey Sesshomaru, what are you doing today?" a tiny voice suddenly piped up. All heads turned to Rin, including Sesshomaru.

"I don't know," Sesshomaru said.

"Well, mind if I hang out with you then?"

"Yes."

"Aww c'mon Sesshomaru! Please?" Rin pleaded. She looked up from under long eyelashes and gave him a puppy dog pout. He was about to say "no", but there was just something about his look that made him unable to deny her request. He struggled internally with himself, because his mind wanted to say no, but his heart was saying yes. Finally he spat out the word "Okay" much to the surprise of everyone at the table (you could tell they were surprised because everyone gasped loudly).

"Yay!" Rin exclaimed happily. Everyone looked astonished from Rin to Sesshomaru and back to Rin. You could practically read their thoughts: unbelievable.

"So what are we gonna do?" Rin asked, getting up to walk over to Sesshomaru.

"I don't know."

"Well then, hows about we go for a walk through the forest?" she suggested. Sesshomaru again felt that internal conflict. Yes or no? Yes or no? YES OR NO?! He just sighed. There was no point fighting it. She was going to get her own way in the end anyway.

"Whatever," he said grudgingly. Everyone gasped again. "Just don't annoy me."

"Will do!" Rin chirped happily. "Come on! Let's go!"

She happily skipped out of the cafeteria waving goodbye to her astonished friends. Sesshomaru on the other hand trudged out of the room as if he were on his death sentence. Ah well...
