Chapter Four: The Sweet Sent of Victory or So He Thought

***Kagome’s Time***

Kagome ran down the stairs straight to the front door stopping only to say bye to her mom and brother, Sota. (If I spelt it wrong let me know please!) She reached the front door and opened it. Two of her best friends were outside. “Hey Eri and Yuki ready to go?” she happily asked. ‘The first time going somewhere without InuYasha hanging all over me.’ she blushed at the thought.

“What are you thinking about Kagome? Is it about a boy?” Eri giggled when Kagome shut the door behind her as her blush darkened. “Oh oh is it about that boy you always tell us about? Um what’s his name… oh yeah Inu…um…Yasha! That’s it, InuYasha?”

Before Kagome could reply Yuki spoke up and said “I thought you said he was an egomaniac, stubborn overprotective guy that you would have found no reason to like him?” Yuki smiled knowing she hit a sore spot.

“Yeah whatever, so shall we go to the mall? I have to be home by 6 tonight.” Kagome said quickly, glad InuYasha wasn’t here to smell her lie. ‘Except I really do have to be home by 6’ she thought to herself. “Will it be just us three?” she asked hoping Hojo wasn’t going to be there. ‘InuYasha would kill me for being with him and I would have to sit him most likely just to calm him down, I mean its not like I like Hojo in that way.’

“Earth to Kagome. Is anybody there?” Eri asked waving a hand in front of the said persons face. “Yeah just us, everyone else is sick.” Kagome sighed in relief. As soon as she did she regretted it. “You want Hojo-kun to be there huh?”

“No, its not like that I just…ah…don’t want to be…around other…ah…people that’s all.” Kagome said nervously. Eri and Yuki looked at each other then at Kagome and nodded. She wiped at her eyes, ‘I can’t wait to be back with Sango, the air here is killing me.’

“Kay lets go. We have to be back here in 2 hours.” Yuki said to them all.

***Back to the Baka and monk***

“Miroku! Miroku, where are you hiding? You better not be pestering the village girls again!” Sango shouted as she walked through the forest. “Where is that baka?” she said more to herself than anybody else. InuYasha heard her though. Woke him up from his nap to be precise. InuYasha yawned and stretched then jumped to the ground near the still unconscious monk.

“Keh got him good didn’t I?” He said as he lifted the monk up and sprinted to the river nearby. “This should wake him up.” InuYasha said with and evil smile before tossing Miroku into the cold water of the river. Miroku woke up sputtering in the shallows. He turned and looked at InuYasha. “What?” was all that InuYasha said.

Miroku was about to reply when InuYasha’s ears twitched back as he heard another voice join Sango’s “I smell him over here, he’s with InuYasha Sango.” Shippo said to her. The baby fox demon annoyed the hell out of him greatly.

“You know Kagome-san won’t be happy when I tell her you knocked me out.” Miroku said as he wrung out his clothes. “And threw me into the river, destroyed harmless trees and called her yours.” he said with a lopsided grin. ‘He wants me to hurt him doesn’t he; I’m going to kill him. Nah I’ll just tell Sango.’ InuYasha thought.

“Sango! He’s over here!” InuYasha yelled watching the color drain from the monk’s face.

“No don’t tell her, I was…um…talking…to some…of the pretty village girls and if she found out I would be dead.” Miroku whispered to him as he looked for a hiding place.

“Talking?” InuYasha asked raising an eyebrow. He doubted the monk was ‘talking’ to them. “Wait, sniff sniff you like her don’t you? Don’t lie I can smell it all over you.” InuYasha said grinning as he pointed to his nose. “This doesn’t lie.”

Miroku jumped as Sango and Shippo came to the river. “You said you would be back at Kaede’s hut an hour ago you lecherous lying monk!” Sango spat the words at him. InuYasha backed off to lean against a tree and watch as the events unfold. Underneath the smell of anger InuYasha smelt lust radiating off her just like the monk. ‘Funny she likes him and he likes her yet the are ignorant to each others feelings.’

“Sango? You know I smell lust comin’ off you, I just thought you should know.” InuYasha said and watched a dangerous glint appear in Miroku’s eyes. “He likes you too.” Both turned dark red and glared at InuYasha. ‘Oh shit!’ InuYasha said as he tried to back up but suddenly remembering the tree behind him. ‘Damn why did I say that!’ Sango and Miroku advanced towards him; with the monk’s hand inching it’s way towards Sango’s butt. InuYasha closed his eyes awaiting the impact. He flinched when a loud Thud and Splash was heard. He opened his eyes and saw the monk halfway into the water. “Don’t think your getting off” Sango threatened him as she advanced raising a thick branch over her head.
