Notes: Hey, I'm finally back with more *sweatdrop*. I really wanted it all to be perfect and stuff, so it really did take a long time to set everything up. I read somewhere that one author writes until he does seven pages for every chapter, and I tried that, but gave up. Way too hard for my feeble constitution. So instead, I'll do it my own way, writing at least 1000 words. Or at least I'll try, and then see how much that actually is. Oh yeah, please excuse the ever-changing formats I use in my stories. Am too lazy to keep it consistent, lol.

Disclaimer: One night, a genie came to me. He said, I may grant you one wish. I said, okay, I'd like to own Inuyasha. The next day, I found a sheet of paper on my bed. It read, I.O.U.

R&R: Please keep reviewing! Just a little information for you…According to the stats at www.animespiral.com, (yes it's a clickie, go on and click!) Survivor and Just This Once are my best stories, with Survivor as number one and Just This Once in second. Please keep reviewing!

On!

Just This Once

By: elementalspirit125/ Elementsofmine

Chapter Seven

"Coffee's all out!"

"Oh come on, I just bought some two days ago, check in the cabinet!"

"Already done!"

"Checked the dr-"

"You ask the same questions every time, Kagkag, you've run out and you'll just have to get some more."

Kagome sighed, straightening up from the task she had assigned herself, cleaning up the still smoky kitchen. Removing her washing gloves and scrubbing her damp hands on a towel, she searched for the floor rags while answering Sango, who had generously stayed behind to help clean up. "After all," she had said. "I really want to see that roommate of yours. I've heard he's quite the guy."

Kagome had rolled her eyes disbelievingly.

"Are you sure you heard right," she had asked, thinking of her roommate's lecherous acts. "Because if that's what you think, you're about to be seriously let down."

Now Sango was happily waiting for the arrival of the so-called 'perfect gentleman' while helping her friend at the same time. She was humming busily while stocking up the food jars that had fallen off the shelves during the miniature earthquake when Kagome's next question startled her.

"You know Miroku and I have and agreement. As long as he doesn't smoke, I supply him with all the coffee he wants." Grimacing, she started scrubbing at a stubborn smoke ash stain (A/N: No, not one from Miroku's ciggie marks. It's Inuyasha's mark on the house of chaos. Lol) "Anyways, where is the little troublemaker?"

Sango looked down from the cabinet she was restocking. "You mean Inuyasha?" She looked thoughtful. "You know, I haven't seen him since the time we told him to take a walk outside to cool off his nerves. And that was…what, a few hours ago?" Seeing the panic-stricken look on her friend's face, she quickly backtracked on her statement. "Oh calm down Kagkag, he's street-smart. He won't get himself killed or something. Or," Sango added, teasingly. "Are you worried about him?"

Kagome bent back down to her scrubbing task, ashamed that Sango had caught her being protective of Inuyasha. "No…" she finally replied, face hidden in a sheet of black hair. "But he's not that smart sometimes. He almost got ran over and shot at the first time we found him."

Sango made a face. "Probably saw a girl he liked, that's all. You know that's what all the city guys are like here, show them one pretty chick and he forgets to breathe. And the shooting thing is just what I've been trying to tell our boss Kaede for years."

"If we really are an organization that throws out charity and runs goodwill organizations left and right, shouldn't we work on solving the gang problem here? But no, she says we're on a tight budget with the new 'Plant A Tree' phase of our save-the-rainforest-and-hug-a-tree campaign." Sighing, Sango ran a hand through her hair.

"But don't you see Kagkag, this is why we need you to help us with the budget. Okay don't give me that face," Sango added brusquely, noting the sour expression on Kagome's face. "Your dad was right in setting you a meeting with the head of Tensaiga Electronics Corps. If you could get them to sponsor us in the upcoming major charity drive, we would be able to solve billions of more problems! All we need is their signature on a little sheet of paper." Sango shrugged. "How hard can it be?"

"Plenty," Kagome grumbled, remembering her encounter with Naraku and Sesshomaru.

"Oh shush," Sango countered. "If I hear about your encounters with the Ice King and his lackey again, I'm afraid you'll be seeing what I've been eating all week on your kitchen floor."

"Ew," exclaimed Kagome.

"What," replied Sango nonchalantly. "Afraid of seeing a little regurgitated food?"

"No, Miroku's home."

He nervously kicked a pebble as he shifted around uneasily. Where is she? She had promised him that she would visit.

I'm here…

"Good." Suddenly ashamed at his forceful outburst, he addressed the shimery cloud again, softer in tone.

"She's…she's back, isn't' she?"

"Keh, she probably got that line from a movie…"

Okay, you guys, I have to admit it: I HATE fanfic.org and mediamine!!! They have screwed -up pages, it's hard for me to read my reviews, and it take away reviews every four days or so. GR! Please bear with me if I forgot to add your name on the review list here and you reviewed. I only take reviews for the last chapter posted. Say, if you reviewed for the first chapter, and I already have three, when I write the fourth chapter, I'm not going to include you in the list…@_@. Thanks for reviewing, please continue! I have two new stories up, Unexpected Happenings and Hearts In Ice: Poems. Be on the look out for Hearts In Ice: Thawing Out, a Naraku/OC story coming out soon, after the end of May the Sun Shine Forever. Please note, I'll give out 'treats' every time I pass a 50- review mark (Ex: 50, 100, 150, etc.). the treats can be either a little extra chappie in between the regular stories, or a new story. I will upload Hearts In Ice: Thawing Out after the end of May the Sun Shine Forever, AND if I can receive at least 25 reviews in MTSSF. Thank you!

Okay, that was way over 1000…*sweatdrop*

Do you people actually read these notes?

Nah…
