[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Title: The Fail-Proof Plan

Author: Gothichika

Summary: Miroku thinks Kagome thinks that he's hideous. So what does he do? Make a fail-proof plan, that's what!

A/N: Yea. Um...I apologize in advance for the short chapter. Its just, I was and still am VERY busy this week. I had tennis matches (away) everyday this week until 8 pm, and had to do my homework. I got my frist research paper for the year, and an essay for lit. I had tests everyday this week, and had a pound (or more, I'm not sure, I haven't exactly weighed it...) of homework. However, I'm nice, so I put up a chapter. Sides, I didn't want to procrastinate too long. =P

However, I DO request that I get more reviews. I don't want to sound GREEDY or anything, but I only have 5 reviews. FIVE. Not a whole lot, to tell you the truth. But, hopefully, I'll get more as the story goes on.

Chapter 3/Chapter 5: Step Three: Compliment Her Every Action

Kagome was befuddled. VERY befuddled. She just COULDN't understand it. Like, really couldn't. No matter HOW HARD she tried to figure it out, she just COULDN'T. She sighed and thought 'I guess I'll just have to ask someone, though I doubt they'll know the answer either.' and picked up her Trigonometry book to go ask someone to help her with question eighteen.

Kagome stood up and looked around. She knew Kaede wasn't here; she had went off to another town to help a woman in labor. Inuyasha obviously couldn't help her. No offense to the inu, or anything, but he wasn't exatly the smartest cookie in the cookie jar. Sango probably couldn't help her, which left Miroku. Making up her mind, she headed for the meditating monk. 'Or at least, I THINK he's meditating...'

----------------------------------------

Miroku heard someone come toward him. Opening his eyes just a sliver wide, he saw Kagomes imfamous skirt comming towards him and smiled inwardly. 'And just in time for step three.'

Opening his eyes all the way, he stood up, startling Kagome. 'She must've thought I was sleeping.' He thought, thinking about what he thought she was thinking.

"M-miroku. I hope I'm not interfering with your meditation." She greeted him.

'Meditation, sleeping, same thing...' He thought inwardly. Outwardly, he said "Hello Kagome. No, your not interfering. No need to worry. Besides, even if I were, I'd still make time for you." Kagome blushed and mumbled a 'no need'.

"What did you need, Kagome?" He asked, breaking her out of her 'no need' trance. Kagome snapped her head up and blushed even deeper. "Oh, um...I was wondering if you knew how to solve a question I have." She explained, holding the book out and pointing to the question. Miroku looked down and barely repressed an eek. 'HOLY SHIT! THIS is what Kagome learns in school?! Fuck...and she thinks that I can help her...fuckfuckfuck...Well, I can't just NOT help her...then she'll think that I'm not only hidieous, but STUPID too. Hm...Oh! I know!' He thought up an idea and put it to play.

"Hm...well it's not that hard. But I don't think that I should be giving you answers, am I correct? However, I'm sure you'll be able to answer it if you try to."

Kagome looked sullen and nodded. "Yea...I mean, I can't be THAT dumb, right?" Miroku's eyes widened. 'I didn't mean THAT!!'

"I didn't mean THAT Kagome. I meant that you're SMART. You'll be able to figure it out if you use your brain to its full potential."

Kagome perked up imediatly. "Oh...um...thank you Miroku. I suppose I could...thank you Miroku. I'll come back to you if I need anymore help!" She said, smiling and skipped off to go sit under her tree and finish the problem.

'Score! Not only did I get away from answering her homework, but I also squeezed it into my plan. I am so good...' He was about to start dancing in circles, but decided against it and settled for his mind instead.

----------------------------------------

Kagome grinned like a fool. 'I did it. I really did it...I solved the question! YES!! I SOLVED THE QUESTION!!!! Miroku was right!!' Remembering Miroku, she promptly jumped up and ran to Miroku, hugging him extra tightly.

"OOF! Kagome...I...can't breathe..." Eye's widening, Kagome let go of him, blushing.

"Oh. I'm sorry Miroku!"

"It's alright. But what, may I ask, was that for? Unless of course, you just couldn't resist my extremely sexy body." He asked, smirking.

"Miroku! Don't be stupid. I hugged you because you were right! I could solve it if I tried my best!" She said happily.

"It?" Miroku asked, hiving forgot about the question that he very cunninly avoided answering.

"The math question?" She reminded him. 'OH!' He remembered.

"Right! You answered it? Good job!" He said smiling. Kagome smiled back and bounced away.

'Don't be stupid. She wouldn't hug you for your body. Remember? She thinks your HIDEOUS?' He thought. And for some reason, that thought all of a sudden hurt him.

----------------------------------------

Kagome hummed, alternating from stirring the ramen and playing with Shippou.

"Kagome? Do you think that this picture is good?"

"Of course Shippou. All your pictures are good, don't be silly." She smiled, looking at the crayon based drawing of Shippou and herself, Shippou standing on her shoulder.

"Really? You think so?" Shippou asked, eyes wide.

"Of course! Your a natural artist." She answered, glancing to her side to smile at her 'adopted son'. At this, Shippou grinned and went back to drawing.

Miroku, having seen all this, decided to step into the screen. "Hello Kagome, Shippou."

Startled, Kagome looked up and smiled. "Hello Miroku! Lunch isn't done yet, sorry. It'll only be another ten minutes or so." Miroku nodded and turned to the kistune.

"Hey Shippou. Whatcha drawing?" He asked him. Shippou looked up and told him "Me and Kagome. But I'm gunna add you too."

"Really? Can I see?" He asked, squatting to sit next to Shippou.

"Sure!" Shippou held out the picture for him to see.

"Wow. You're a really good drawer Shippou." Miroku told him, unknowingly repeating Kagome.

"You think so too?" He asked, awed that both of his role models...okay one and a half of his role models thought that he was good at drawing.

"Of course." Shippou smiled a wide smile and went back to his masterpiece.

Miroku turned to Kagome. "Ramen?"

Kagome giggled. "Yup. There's nothing else to eat, and even if there was, I doubt Inuyasha would eat it."

"Yea." He agreed. "I don't get why though. You cooking is fabulous." (A/N: Actually, I'm not quite sure about that. Is that true? Or can she not cook...?)

Kagome blushed. "That's not true..."

"Yes it is. You just don't think so." He said. "As much as Inuyasha loves ramen, I don't think He would like it anymore if I were to cook it." Kagome giggled again and bent down to taste the noodles.

"Perfect. LUNCH TIME!!" She yelled. Miroku winced, being next to her and helped her serve the ramen to the groups occupants.

"Mmmm. This is good Kagome. I told you that your cooking is wonderful." Miroku complimented her cooking.

"Thanks Miroku." She said, and went back to eating. Inuyasha scowled at Miroku, suspicious, but forgot all about it after taking another bit of his precious ramen. Sango just rolled her eyes at Inuyasha and Shippou was too busy eating to notice.

----------------------------------------

A/N: That's the chapter. I know. It's short. I warned you up there already. Sorry, I'll try to make it longer next time.

I have good news though. Yup! I got this story outlined, and know the chapter's names, and what it's going to be, etc. And, I know how many chapters there are, unless I change my mind...but anyways, there are so far seven chapters. I got some of the nest chapter already written, but not much. Since this chapter is EARLY, I'll put the nest one late.

Just Joking. Geez...
