Chapter 3 - Snow and A Show

The quintet soon found themselves at Sessho-maru and Rin's mountain home. The crisp mountainous air tousled their hair as they stepped out of the large cottage. Kagome crossed her arms in front of her to keep the warmth in. Inu-Yasha was walking around checking out the area. Miroku and Sango were having a small snowball war. And Shippo was trying to climb a tree, but was failing miserably.

Out of nowhere, a snowball hit Inu-Yasha in the back of the head. Looking around, he spotted Kagome laughing at his bewilderment. Stooping down, he scooped up some snow, packed it and let it fly. Grinning he watched to see if his aim was true. And what do you know, it was. It hit Kagome square in the head making her gasp in surprise.

Noticing what was happening, Sango and Miroku stopped their war… temporarily to watch the spectacle.

Kagome glared playfully at Inu-Yasha before dropping down to get some snow. Packing it, she let hers go and watched for a second before starting up again.

Inu-Yasha on the other hand dodged the first throw, but wasn't so lucky with the second. It hit him full in the face. Growling a bit at his frustration, Inu-Yasha began his onslaught.

Finally growing tired of the spectacle, Miroku looked at Sango and grinned.

"Snow War!" And it began and lasted until nightfall.

~*~*~

Nighttime had fallen and everything had been unpacked. The fire was crackling in the hearth. Shippo had finally been put to bed. Kagome and Sango were chatting on the sofa. Miroku was watching a sumo wrestling match and Inu-Yasha was looking out the window at the white-blanketed earth. Though sulking is what he really was doing.

'Kikyo…what are you up to? Did you lie? Is this another attempt to make my life miserable…again?' He thought staring out to nowhere. Nothing made any sense. Not what he was doing. What Kikyo was doing. Why his brother was helping him without too much of a fuss. Nothing.

Kagome noticed his distress. The thought that he was being put-on was enough to make her want to comfort him. Once he had told her about the trip to his brother's, she knew that he hadn't lied to her and she felt sad that she had even thought that about him. Silently she walked behind him, contemplating what she should do. Then a though hit her.

Lost in his own thoughts, Inu-Yasha didn't realize that Kagome was behind him until she gave him hug. Jumping slightly from being taken out of his lull, Inu-Yasha just smiled and kept looking out at the snow. He put his hand on top of hers and squeezed.

"I'm sorry I got mad at you when Kikyo came to give this oh-so-joyful piece of info."

"It's okay Kagome. It got me doubting the things I told you. But hopefully my brother will come through for me."

"He will, if you haven't noticed… this situation has him worried as well." With that, they watched the stars for a minute more and then joined Sango and Miroku on the sofa to watch some TV.

*~*~*~*~*

Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and Shippo were out for some fun on the skiing slopes, leaving Miroku and Sango alone in the cottage. Each were doing their own thing, but kept a quiet eye upon each other. Miroku was checking up on his air rip, while Sango was sharpening up her boomerang bone.

"Hey Sango…do you want to…"Miroku began, but was interrupted by a pillow being thrown into his face.

"Don't try it! You're not groping my butt or doing anything else that is passing through your skull at the moment!" Sango immediately threatened.

"I wasn't going to try anything…this time…at least. I was going to suggest making some hot chocolate and popcorn and watch a movie." Miroku quickly explained before her boomerang bone connected with his skull. Sango stopped short, just inches above Miroku's head. Miroku sighed in relief.

"All right, hot chocolate, popcorn, and a movie sounds good. But just to warn you…keep your hands to yourself." She agreed, giving him a warning glare…just in case. Miroku let sighed again out of frustration.

'She doesn't trust me. But then again, have I really given her a reason to trust me…alone…together…in a room…far away from our friends? Nope, not at all. Maybe my hand really is possessed… geez now even I am starting to believe that lie. Or is it. Argh got to stop this. Hmmm, what movie to watch.' Miroku thought.

"Hey, what are we going to watch Miroku?" Sango called from the kitchen.

"I dunno, let's see what we have. Um, okay, this is going to be pretty easy. I think. Do we want to include the 'G' and 'PG' rated ones?"

"You kidding? We're a little too old for those you know. Anything that is good and not kiddy?"

"Um well, that leaves The Green Mile, Miss Congeniality, Star Gate, and Sleepy Hollow. That would be it for the relatively decent movies, other than that its kiddy stuff."

"How about Miss Congeniality?"

"I was thinking Sleepy Hollow."

"You just want to watch it 'cause the step-mother is hot."

"You just want to watch your movie 'cause of all the guys."

"How about a Thumb-War and whoever wins gets to choose the movie."

"Okay, but let's make things more interesting. If I win, you have to pose for me in the clothing or lack thereof of my choice."

"Pervert, but okay, but if I win, you can't try to grope Kagome or myself or any girl for a month. Deal?"

"Deal" And with that, they warred each other. Of course the winner…

*~*~*~*~*

Miroku sighed as he popped Miss Congeniality into the VCR. He had lost… pitifully at that. When Sango had him in her hold, he whined like Shippo when he wanted to get his way. Unfortunately, it didn't work with Sango.

After much debate they both had decided to sit next to one another so long as Miroku kept his hands within Sango's sight. And soon began to watch the movie.

*~*~*~*~*

The movie was coming to a close, when Miroku moved his arm onto Sango's shoulders. She didn't notice. Leaning towards her he began to gather his courage for what he was about to do next…

End:  AN: Whelp that's it for now, I hope no one minds that this chapter is short as well. Next chapter should be longer (hopefully) *bends down on knees and begs for extra time* Please review. Thanx.
