A/n: Because so much happens in day 2, I'm gonna break it up into 2 chappies. The first will be what happens with Kagome, and the second will be what happens with InuYasha. Just keep in mind that ch. 7 and 8 are both in the same day. Now on with the story!

Chapter 7

Day 2 (KPOV)

Sunday, day two, came all too quickly for me. I knew Yash would call me today. He's never gone one day without calling. And then the phone rang.

`I'll just let the machine get it.'

"Hey Kagome, it's Sango. You'll never guess what happened last night…"

"Hey, it's me. Sorry I didn't pick up….ano…I was in the bathroom." `I hate lying, but I can't tell her about me and Yash.'

"Oh, no problem. I just wanted to call and say you'll never guess what happened last night?"

"Oh, I don't know…you won the lottery?"

"I wish. No, someone asked me on a lunch date for tomorrow, and get this… he's freakin HOTT!!"

"Oh that's great Sango, tell me all about it," I said as I nibbled on my rice.

"Well, Yash called me last night and told me that he was coming over. He probably just wanted a free beer or something. Anyways, I told him that I saw him at the restaurant and told him he better have made up with you or I would castrate him, by the way, did he make up with you? Anyways, he said he came over because he had a friend whom he wanted me to meet, are you with me so far?"

`Hold on, Yash went over to her house…he must not have told her what happened' "Oh Yash came over, that's cool. Ano…hai, he made up with me." `Man I hate lying'

"That's great, Kag. Anyways his friend came up to the door and introduced himself. He works with Yash and Sess. His name is Miroku and he was so sweet and not too bad looking!"

I almost choked on my rice. "Wait did you say his name is Miroku?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

`How do I break it to her gently? I don't want to hurt her, but did she say that he was being sweet? Maybe he changed…Naw this is Miroku we're talking about…the Hentai Houshi!!' "Well, Sango, as you said Miroku works with Yash; so, I know him very well. But…"

"Oh you do, so you can give me the low down on him?"

"Hai, I don't know how to say this gently so I'm going to go out and just say it. Miroku has a reputation."

"A reputation? What are you talking about?"

"What I'm trying to say is that he's a major player. Kami-sama. I'm sorry, Sango."

"Don't trip, Kag, I know you're just looking out for me. Thanks for the advice, but I still think I'm going to go out with him just to see for myself. I think I'm gonna go. I'll talk to you later, k?" She sounded real upset and I just felt so bad for her. But who knows maybe this time he'll do something for the better, maybe he'll only grope her and not the waitress, hostess, and some random lady on the street like his last date.

"All right, Sango. I know this will turn out great! Call me later ok?"

"Yeah, bye, Kag."

`Miroku, you better not screw this up.'

I got off the phone with Sango and finished my rice. I sat on the couch to watch television. Sure it was 10:00 in the morning on Sunday and I'm supposed to help out at the family shrine, but I had a rough day and I don't feel like going.

At 10:15, the phone rang.

`Now I wonder who that could be??' "I'll let the machine get it again." And it was a good thing I did, too.

"Hey, Kag, it's Yash. Just calling to ask how you were. I hope all is well. I was thinking about calling you on your cell because I know on Sundays you help out at the shrine. I don't know maybe it was wishful thinking that you wouldn't go and you would talk to me today. I know I'm not the best person when it comes to words, but I think we could work something out. Okay, now that I know you definitely aren't home and not just avoiding my call, I guess I'll go. Oh wait a minute; I actually called to tell you that I picked up some tickets to the Do As Infinity concert. Hit me back if you want to go. All right, bye, babe."

I knew he would call today to try and talk. I didn't know that he would stoop as to try and bribe me with Do As Infinity tickets.

"Do As Infinity, you know they're my favorite band you sneaky bastard. That's okay, because I'm going to the shrine today anyways."

I walked over to the bathroom to take a long, hot, much needed shower. Then I changed into my `work clothes' and headed to the family shrine. Better late than never, I guess.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I pulled up to the shrine and my kid brother Souta ran right into me. He's finally a senior in high school and I think he loves it.

"Hey, nee-chan, glad you finally decided to show up."

"Ha Ha! Very funny, Souta. Where's Mama and Ji-chan?"

"Yeah, I know, I'm just the comedian! Mama and Ji-chan are in the house."

"Thanks, see you around."

I walked up to the house. This was the very house that I spent my entire childhood. I lived in this house when I went to high school and met my first boyfriend. This place held so many memories for me and I wouldn't give it up for the world. This is exactly why I come here every Sunday that I can to help out with the tourism.

"Ohayo, mama, ji-chan."

"Ohayo, Kagome. Glad you stopped by; today is supposed to be a busy day." Ji-chan called from the back.

"Glad I can help, ji-chan, where's mama?"

"She's at the Go-Shinboku."

"Arigato, ji-chan."

I went to the Go-Shinboku. That always was my safe haven when I was smaller. If ever something went horribly wrong, like when I got my heart broken for the first time, the Go-Shinboku was always the first place I ran to and I immediately felt better. So, I wasn't surprised to feel a nice sense of calmness about the InuYasha situation, and I wasn't surprised to find my mom there. Ever since my dad died 2 years ago, she's out there every chance she gets.

"Hi, Mama."

"Oh, hello, Kagome. I was just out here thinking. How are you?"

"I'm as well as can be expected for someone who just broke up with the love of her life."

"Oh, Kagome, gomen. Do you want to tell me about it?"

`It would be nice to actually tell someone and not get corny advice.' "Hai, mama, but we'll talk after all the tourists leave, that way we won't be interrupted."

"Okay, just call me when you're ready."

"Hai, Mama."

~*~*~*~*~*~

The rest of the day could only be described as BUSY!! Ji-chan wasn't lying when he said this was going to be one of the busiest days. It was hard keeping my mind off InuYasha, but I still had another trick up my sleeve.

You see sometimes after you break up, especially when you're in a serious relationship, your partner fails to realize that the relationship is actually over. Knowing InuYasha, he is one of these types of people. So, in order to make sure that he gets the point, you must do some strange things, that way when you do get back together, he is behaved.

I noticed earlier that an acquaintance of mine who had a small crush on me made his way to the shrine. His name is Naraku. I also noticed that a friend of InuYasha's also came over; his name is Shippo.

For this little trick of mine you need two people: Your PR and your Flunky. So, who's the PR and who's the Flunky? You must be certain that the PR is friends with your man and regularly talks to him or this won't work.

"Why hello, Kagome. Beautiful day, is it not?" Naraku said smoothly.

`We found our flunky.' "Hi, Naraku. Yes, it is quite a lovely day." I walked smoothly over to him and gave him a huge hug. Noticing Shippo's open mouthed expression, I knew he saw and would waste no time in telling Yash. You have to make sure that you do something as sleazy as possible, without the dry humping. You achieve this by hugging your flunky just a little too long and a little too tight. I continued hugging Naraku pressing as close as I could before pulling back and giving him a big kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, that was one hell of a hug, Kagome."

"Well, I haven't seen you in a while and it's always good to hug a friend. You have a nice week, ok?

"You bet your fine ass I will. You too."

"Ja ne"

I waived as I walked back to the house to wait for mama. We were going to have our talk after all the tourists left for the day. As I walked I noticed Shippo's smug grin and I knew I did my job well.

Mama came in around fifteen minutes after I walked in. I waited for her by the Go-Shinboku. I knew she would know immediately to come there to find me.

"You always came here as a child when something went wrong. I still remember when that boy, Takashi, moved. You wanted to stay outside near this tree all night."

"Hai, mama. I remember you put out some blankets and some pillows, and we both camped out here. You were always there to help me out with the bad times."

"I take it that this is another one of these times? You wanna start from the beginning; I'm assuming this has to do with you and InuYasha."

"You assume correctly. Well, it started on Friday. Yash and I were supposed to go out on a date…" I told mama everything that happened. About how I saw him at the restaurant, and how I broke up with him. I didn't tell her about the plan I was formulating about getting him back. Mama was never the type of person to resort to games to get what she wanted. That was me; I was always the sneaky one when it came to what I wanted.

"Awww, baby, everything will turn out just fine. I'm sure of it. You and InuYasha are meant to be together. Everything will come together. I just know it."

I sat in mama's lap and listened to everything she said. Even with the games I was playing, I knew everything is going to work out perfectly. And if I play my cards right, Yash and I will be together forever.

"Arigato, mama, you always make me feel better. You're the best. I think I'll head up to my old room and take a nap."

"Sure, sweetheart."

"Arigato, mama"

"It's nothing, dear."

I walked to my old room, climbed into my twin sized bed that I had ever since junior high and slept. For how long I wasn't sure, but I woke up to mama lightly tapping me on the shoulder.

"Kagome, it's getting late. Do you want to stay the night here, or do you want to go home."

"I think I'll go home. How long did I sleep?"

"It's 9:30. It's been about two and a half hours."

"Ok, I'll be going home now. Ja, mama."

"Ja."

~*~*~*~*~*

I arrived home and played my messages.

"You have 15 messages." The voice mail told me.

`Now that's what I'm talking about. Everything is going as planned.'

"On to day three."

~*~*~*~*~*~

A/n: I'm soooooo sorry this is out so late. Everything has been so busy with packing, friends leaving, and I just got my nose pierced so I'm a little out of everything. To top everything off, this chapter was supposed to be posted yesterday, but one of my dear friends left for college and I had to say bye to them. When I got home, the cable was on the fritz, so I could only use dial up…don't hate me! =(

Shinobi-chan: Thank you. Well, it looks like InuYasha tried to bribe Kagome with concert tickets, but she's not having any of that. Hmmm... They're both playing games to get each other, that can't be good, but I'm not telling anything…HeeHee. I'm glad you like Kagome's method of handling things. I heard from people who saw the movie that women usually wouldn't act that calm, but I have many friends who have done just that. They didn't cause a scene at all. Hope you keep reading and sorry I took so long to update.

DraGonMistress704: I'm sooo sorry, you misunderstood me. When I said that `you ain't never lied' that's just my way of saying I totally agree with you. Sometimes I forget to keep the black people talk on the DL. Most of my friends never know what I'm talking about. I'm really sorry for the confusion and if I offended you in any way. I totally forgot that in the movie they do show it from 2 POVs. I'm gonna continue with that because it gives more clarity to the situation. Thanks a bunch and hope you keep reading.

Akiraton: You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it! School is boring…I remember dreading going to my classes…now I get freedom in college…YAY!!

Citrus-luvr: Thank you very much! Yep, Miroku and Kag know everything about how the opposite sex thinks…or at least in their minds they do, HeeHee. I wouldn't know if guys really do stuff like `it's getting late' I've never had a boyfriend…kind of sad, don't you think? But one of my friends said this guy who had a crush on her wouldn't talk to her that much and they finally were put together for an English project and he said the whole `it's getting late thing' but he asked her out on a date and she said yes, so I guess it can work. He did this to seem like the sensitive and nice guy, even though we all know he's just a hentai. Chapter 9 will have lime for sure…. I don't know if it'll escalade into a lemon…it depends on how I feel. It will be Sess/Rin.

Serena-girl: Don't cry…everything will turn out perfect. But what's a happy ending without a little drama…I love drama!! I'll need all the luck I can get with packing…I won't forget anything, mom! HeeHee.
