A/N: Omg…omg…omg….I know!!! I know!! It's been…like what…forever since I've updated!!! But YES PEOPLE!!! I AM BACK!!!! Please do not kill me! If you do I can't update…ever…'cuz you know, I'd be dead. But I'm not! This bunny is alive and well. Also an UPDATER!!

First off, I would like to apologize because I have not updated in forever. But to put it bluntly, I lost my interest in writing fanfics. I did not lose my interest in Inuyasha though. Please, that will forever be my obsession. But I had no inspiration for continuing with this fanfic, but I reread it and I was just thinking 'How can I NOT continue with this fic?' I fell in love with it again. And in a few hours chapter 11 was written.

I will CONTINUE this fic. However, I will not make false promises about updating. I'm not going to say when I'm going to update because I tend not to update when I say I will. So you guys just have to keep watch.

Once again, thanks to all the reviewers that love this fic. I can't believe it's up to 146 reviews!!! I am truly honored. Thank you guys so so much!!!!

Well, enough of that…on with the fic!!!

Disclaimer: I can't seem to remember what to write….umm…let me think lalalalala ooohhh right….I DO NOT own Inuyasha and co. I am merely borrowing them for my own evil purposes! MUAHHAHAHA!!

Chapter 11: A Messy Escape

"Please come back to me Inuyasha. I don't want to lose you too." she whispered softly.

After a few moments a groan started Kagome. Immediately she shot up and looked back at Inuyasha. Slight movement from Inuyasha's body filled her with hope.

"K…ka…gome."

Azure eyes went wide with shock.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Miroku said nothing as he wordlessly followed Sango to the backyard. His amethyst eyes kept drifting to their still joined hands.

'You don't know what you do to me Sango.' he thought

"Miroku…did you hear me?"

Miroku shook his head and focused on the young woman now standing beside him.

'When did we stop moving?' He took in his surrounding and realized they weren't outside yet, but rather in Sango's kitchen.

"I'm sorry Sango. What did you say?"

Sango let out an exasperated sigh. "Miroku, don't space out on me now!" she chided. A blush crept upon her face as she realized what spluttered out of her mouth next, "I need you Miroku." she whispered shyly as she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Miroku hooked his finger under her chin and forced her hazel eyes to gaze upon his violet ones.

"I will always be here for you Sango. No matter what."

A sniffle escaped her mouth. Without warning she threw her arms around Miroku. "I'm sacred Miroku; scared of not finding Kagome, scared of dealing with this now of all times!"

Miroku gently caressed Sango's hair as she sobbed onto his shoulder.

"I'll always be here for you Sango." he whispered in her ear.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOOXOXX

"Kagome?"

Kagome sucked in a breathe of relief.

"Inuyasha!! You're awake!"

Inuyasha tried to lift his head but a sharp pain shot through his skull. He growled as he returned to his former position. 'So comfortable.' he thought blissfully.

Kagome's cheek felt as though they were on fire as she watched Inuyasha nestle himself back onto her lap. Shaking off her embarrassment her attention focused on him once again.

"Inuyasha, can you hear me?"

A few moments of silence ensued. Worry coursed through her body.

"Inuyasha…"she called with more force.

"Will you stay quiet for a few seconds! I'm not deaf Kagome!" he ruffed.

Kagome's eyes narrowed into slits. "Is that so…" she replied icily.

Inuyasha opened his eyes and he found himself looking up at a very upset Kagome.

"YOU JERK!!!!!" she yelled as her shoulders shook and her bangs covered her eyes.

Inuyasha winced at the sound of the piercing scream. He quickly sat up and covered his ears, ignoring the pain it caused/

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Sango couldn't believe what she had just done. Her brain did not seem to properly register what had transpired between her and Miroku in the kitchen. Still, she couldn't help that swelling feeling in her heart that occurred the more she thought bout it.

'I'll always be here for you Sango.' His words resonated in her ears as she continued to search the backyard premises.

Every now and then she stole glances at him while he wasn't looking. And every time she did her heart skipped a beat. 'What is wrong with me?'

"Sango, its all clear over here!" called out Miroku.

Sango visibly nodded as she saw him approach her. Her breathe was caught in her throat.

"Are you okay Sango? asked a worried Miroku.

'Damn you and your handsomeness Miroku….damn you!'

"YOU JERK!!!"

Survival mode kicked back in as she managed to push all thoughts of Miroku to the back of her head. However, she found that task to be a more difficult than anticipated.

"You heard that right? It's coming from the front of the house." warned Miroku.

"Probably the garage. Let's go!"

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOX

She has no clue why he affected her this way. Here she was, worried out of her wits end and he gives her a response LIKE THAT!

'Why do I care anyway?! He's such a jerk!'

Her hands were balled into a fist and she knew she was shaking. She tried to fight back the tears that swelled in her eyes, but they were uncooperative. Shamelessly they streaked down her face.

'Why do I care?'

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Inuyasha stared guiltily back at Kagome.

She was angry and hurt. That was obvious, but he still a little confused as to why. To make him feel even more like an ass, she was crying.

'Is she crying because of me?' he thought.

Hesitantly he gently called out her name. "Kagome…."

All she did was turn her face away from him, her bangs obstructing his view of her face.

"Kagome." he called out more forcefully this time.

Growing frustrated at her lack of communication, he grabbed her by the shoulders and crushed her body against his.

"I'm sorry Kagome." he whispered softly in her ear.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

She felt as if the wind was knocked out of her as she collided against Inuyasha's bare chest.

'Inu…Inuyasha…'

"I'm sorry Kagome." she heard him whisper in her ear. And just like that she broke down.

"I was so worried about you Inuyasha. I was afraid that I'd lose you too. Don't ever do that to me again!!" she sobbed. Inuyasha was at a loss for words.

She lifted her head off his chest and looked up at his face. Azure eyes met indigo ones.

"But I forgive you Inuyasha." she added softly. She offered him a small smile. Surprisingly enough, he smiled back at her.

'He smiled! I'm so happy Inuyasha, just being like this with you.'

'You're like no other person I've known Kagome.'

XOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXO

Sango motioned for Miroku to remain quiet.

They slowly approached the open garage door.

"We'll take them by surprise." she mouthed silently.

"What?" Miroku mouthed back, completely confused by what he was saying.

"We'll take them by surprise."

"What?"

A tick began to work at Sango's right eye as she tried once more to wordlessly get her point across.

"We'll take them by surprise!"

………………………. "What?"

"DAMMIT MIROKU! WE'LL TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE!!" she yelled. Her frustration reached its breaking point.

An 'O' formed on Miroku's sinfully luscious lips.

'Damn his brain.' she though angrily. She growled low in her throat.

"You idiot! There goes the element of surprise." she past at him irritably.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"DAMMIT MIROKU! WE'LL TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE!!"

Both Kagome and Inuyasha froze.

"Oh no! Sango and Miroku are coming. What do we do? she hissed.

"Shhh…grab whatever clothes look like they'll fit us and we'll sneak out…quietly." he whispered.

Kagome blushed as she realized they were still in mid-embrace and still naked, technically speaking anyway. She had her blanket and he had his pillow cover.

'Get it together girl!' she chided to herself.

Quickly turning away from Inuyasha, mostly so he wouldn't see her pink face, she hurriedly grabbed two shirts and pants from the discarded box on the floor.

'These look like they will fit Inuyasha and me.'

"Okay. I got the clothes"

Inuyasha nodded as he pulled Kagome with him behind the car. 'This should hide us from their view, even for a little bit.'

"Make sure you have that blanket secure around yourself. We're going to make a break for it."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

A still somewhat peeved Sango entered the garage cautiously, clutching her bat to her; with Miroku a few steps behind her holding on to his broom.

'I can't believe I'm holding a broom while Sango has a bat.' He sighed inwardly.

"I have a bat and I sure as hell know how to use it!" Sango hollered, anger dripping on each word.

………………….

"Come out cowards!! Show yourself!"

To prove just how well she knew how to wield a bat she swung it against the metal garage door.

'That should bring them out!' she smirked.

However, nothing happened, no noise, no intruders, nothing.

"Sango, there seems to be nobody here but us." sated Miroku.

"There seems to be nobody here…blah blah blah…" mocked Sango. "Well then Miroku, if you're so sure, go check out the rest of the garage. I'll wait for you here." she replied slyly.

"Now, now my dear Sango, let's not be rash about this. We can do this together."

Sango raised a delicate brow at him. That's when he did it. He gave her the puppy-dog face.

"Grrr…"

'Works every time.' Miroku hid his smirk/ He didn't want to know the full extent of Sango's talent with a baseball bat.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Sango and Miroku walked deeper into the garage, past her father's stationed car.

She sighed in relief, "Guess you were right Miroku. There seems to be nobody here."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXO

"Now!" mouthed Inuyasha. He tugged at Kagome's hand and began to leave the safety of their 'hidden spot.'

'We better get outta here unbruised.' he thought grimly.

Kagome and Inuyasha made a run for the garage door as they took advantage of Sango's and Miroku's distraction.

'We're almost there!' thought Kagome. As they were exiting she accidentally stepped in her doggy chew toy. 'Squeak!'

Immediately Sango and Miroku turned around.

"Run!" yelled Inuyasha. He tightened his grasp on Kagome's hand pushed her to run faster. "Move it!"

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Sango and Miroku gave chase to the intruders.

'Wow, they sure run fast! Maybe its cause they're practically naked?' she thought, trying to lighten up her mood.

"Maybe one day we should try that my dear Sango." huffed Miroku as he winked at her.

"Seriously Miroku, if it wasn't because we're running I'd slap you. Oh, and it's never going to happen!"

She ahead of her as a blush crept onto her cheeks. 'Pervert…'

She saw the "intruders" were far ahead of her and Miroku. 'Damn them!' Then she stopped dead in her tracks.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Before she knew it, she and Inuyasha were way beyond Sango's house. She knew her friends had given them the chase, but Inuyasha was relentless in going as fast a humanly possible. It would have been the perfect escape, if she hadn't committed one small mistake. Kagome looked back.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

"Was that…"

"Kagome?" she whispered.
