Chapter two: Revenge and A Change of Plans ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

Kagome came down the stairs from the shower in her house, trying to count to ten so that she wouldn't scream in anger. The blush on her face was from complete mortification at being embarrassed in front of everyone, especially Inu-Yasha-

Kagome squeaked and stamped that thought out viciously. Now that her face was clean from mud, her expression was visible, and it was not a pleasant sight.

Since when did she care about what Inu-Yasha thought about her? Since forever, a little voice in her head whispered. Kagome shrieked and started banging her head on the kitchen table, causing stares from her brother.

"Okay," Kagome said, when she thought that she had finally gotten those rogue thoughts out of her head. "Focus. Need to focus on the true goal here." Kagome looked at her hands. "What could I do to get her back?" she muttered. She looked at Sota. "Sota, do you know of any good pranks that you can play on people?" Sota thought for a second. "Well," he said slowly, "There's tricking them into a pit filled with something like mud..." "That's already been used," Kagome growled.

"Okay then, you can use a whoopee cushion."

"Too difficult to plan."

"How about disappearing ink?"

"Not good enough."

"Hmm..." Sota frowned. "You can use the fake hand trick, or the fake tongue trick, or something nasty in their food, or making something pop out at them..." Kagome had been shaking her head when she heard an option that might work. "Hmm...that's it! Sota, you're a genius!" She jumped up and kissed his cheek. "I am?" he said, shocked. "O-Oh yeah, I am! It's just all in a day's work," he said, and propped his feet on the table. Kagome rolled her eyes and started into the living room.

"Waahh!"

She ran back in, and said, "Sota! Are you-" Kagome started laughing when she saw Sota on the floor, from leaning back too far in his chair. "S'not funny!" Kagome shook her head and left the room.

"Mom! I'm going out to get something! I'll be back," she called. "Okay, honey. Come back soon!" her mother answered.

Later On That day... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
< br> Kagome went into her room, and closed the door so that her planning wouldn't be disturbed. The lights were off, casting shadows across the room.

Kagome set the plastic bag on her desk and sat down with held breath. "Okay," she said to herself, and opened the bag.

The bottle gleamed back at her with silent menace, and she shivered at its potential. She turned it so that se could see the label, and her eyes gleamed with mischief.

She turned quickly around and set the record player on behind her. Evil terror music came on, with thunder and lightening going on in the background.

"Bwahahahaha!" She laughed her evilest laugh. "The perfect comeback! Sango, prepare to meet your doom!"

Sqquueeaakk. "Damn busted record player," she cursed, glaring at the record that was currently skipping. "Oh well," she said, turning it off.

"As I was saying, Revenge MUST be extracted! Sango! You have yet to see true EVIL! Bwahaha!"

She laughed maniacally, and looked at the new precious weapon. The Devil's Tabasco Sauce: Extra, Extra Hot Flava bottle sat silently, and looked back at her.

Kagome put her flashlight in her backpack, and looked at her list. "K, so I packed the pants and the candy for Shippo, and…" she thought.

"Have you packed the bottle?"

Kagome jumped and turned around. "What, Sota?" she said, irritated. "The bottle? You know?!" he said expectantly, winking. "The…bottle?" she said confusedly. "Oh! The bottle!" Sota sighed exasperatedly as she ran to her closet and started digging through clothes. Sota had been let in on her plan, because she needed advice from an expert. The tabasco sauce bottle had been re-named `the bottle', incase someone was listening to their conversation.

"Ah-ha! Here, the wonderful, glorious bottle!" She came back with the bottle in her hands. "Thanks for reminding me! I would have completely forgotten about it."

She put it at the bottom of her bag, so that no one would accidentally find it. "Geez. You're so forgetful," Sota sighed again. Kagome ignored what he said.

"I have the perfect plan!" she said instead, and she rubbed her hands together. "Okay. If you say so," Sota said doubtfully. "But I still think that you should use the whoopee cushion," he said stubbornly. Kagome shoved him playfully, and he grinned. "Maybe another time. Right now I must focus on this plan."

She put her backpack on and started down the stairs. "Okay, mom! I'm leaving now!" she said to her mom when she got to the door. "Okay dear. When will you be back?" Kagome thought. "Inu-Yasha probably won't let me come back sooner than a week, so I'll be back next Saturday," she concluded. Kagome's mom frowned. "Okay dear. That Inu-Yasha controls you too much," she said disapprovingly. Kagome blushed. "Mom! I'm leaving now!" "Okay. Be safe!"

Kagome closed the door and walked to the well house.

"Kagome!" She turned around. "When you come back, tell me how it went!" Sota said and waved. Kagome smiled and nodded. There was excitement around her as she jumped into the well, and she knew that the next few days would be interesting.

Inu-Yasha looked thoughtful as he went over all that he heard. "What's `the bottle'? It probably has something to do with a prank that Kagome will pull on Sango." He frowned when he remembered what Kagome's mom said. "I don't control Kagome too much! I barely have any control over her! He scowled and muttered to himself as he jumped into the well after Kagome.

It had been 2 days since Kagome had been back in feudal Japan. Sango had been darting glances at her since she came back, but Kagome had pretended to ignore them, and treated Sango like nothing had happened. One night, while the group was setting up camp, Sango edged over to Miroku and muttered, "You think that Kagome has given up pulling pranks on me?" Miroku glanced at Kagome as she gathered wood a little way off for the fire. He grinned. "Maybe she has given up and is acknowledging your superior skills," he said. Sango smirked. Inu-Yasha, who was listening to them talk, snorted, and choked back laughter. He knew that Kagome would never give up, especially on something like this.

Sango thought about that idea triumphantly, and disappointedly. She hadn't thought that Kagome would give up so easily. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her, and raised an eyebrow at the indifferent Miroku. Sango decided to try something different this time, since it seemed like her boomerang wasn't having the desired affect on him. So, instead of blowing up and hitting him, she simply walked away. Miroku's face froze.

Neither of them saw Kagome watching them with a glint in her eye.

Before dinner, Sango got up and walked away from the camp to the hot springs "Are you coming, Kagome?" she said, looking back. "Yes, I'll catch up with you in a second," Kagome said darting a look at Miroku. "Ok," Sango said, and glanced at Miroku as well. Miroku bloomed under all the attention that he was getting.

As Sango left, Kagome walked over to where Miroku was sitting. Inu-Yasha watched them from a tree. "Ah…Miroku?" she asked timidly. Miroku smoothed his hand over a non-existent moustache. "So, dear Kagome. Have you finally changed your mind and accepted to marry me?" he asked hopefully. Inu-Yasha growled, and got ready to jump on Miroku. Kagome's face reddened. "I-I was just kidding!" Miroku said hastily to the two pairs of angry eyes staring at him. "Miroku, I have something important to tell you." Kagome said, calming down. "Okay. Shoot," Miroku said. Inu-Yasha pretended to ignore them, but his ears flicked back and forth to catch their words.

"Well, I probably shouldn't be trying to help you since you've been such a jerk-but I think that Sango has feelings for you." Miroku's eyes widened. "How do you know? I-" "Let me explain. 1: She didn't hit you earlier today. 2: She's been sneaking glances at you when she thought that no one was watching. And 3: After those glances, she blushed. These are clues that she likes you."

Kagome had a guilty pang when she saw Miroku's face light up. She decided to make a cushion when his hopes shattered. "Of course, this could be just me. Just because I think that she likes you, doesn't mean that she actually does. Wait-that didn't come out right. What I'm saying is, I don't want you to get all your hopes up, just to be crushed." Miroku's face fell a little, but he still had a determined look in his eyes. "This is a chance I'm willing to take," he announced. Kagome smiled, reassured. "Well, I have to catch up with Sango," she said, and went to the hot springs. A few minutes after she left, Inu-Yasha fell out of his tree, having a coughing fit to cover up his laughter. Miroku looked worriedly at him, disturbed from his plans. "Inu-Yasha, you should really get Kaede to look into that cough of yours. It's been getting worse ever since you came back from Kagome's time." Inu-Yasha waved him off, and straightened his clothes as he got up. He had heard every word that was said. This is gonna be hilarious, he thought to himself.

When dinner came, there was tension in the air. Kagome was giving herself a pep-talk before she did her prank, and was a little nervous about involving Miroku. Inu-Yasha could tell that something was going to happen, but he didn't know if Miroku, Kagome, or Sango would be the one doing something. Sango was very suspicious, because both Miroku and Kagome kept glancing at her, and Inu-Yasha was glancing at everyone. Shippo was the only one who wasn't thinking or caring about what everyone else was planning. He was only worried about when the food was going to be ready.

Once the food was ready, Kagome got the bowls out from her backpack, sneaking the bottle of hot sauce out with them. She decided to dish up Inu-Yasha's bowl first, to get him from paying so much attention to her. Then she gave Miroku a bowl. Miroku sat right next to Sango and glanced at her before he started eating. Sango looked at him dangerously. Right when Sango looked at him, Kagome hastily put some of the special sauce in her bowl on the top if the noodles. She casually handed the bowl to Sango and made bowls for herself and Shippo, who was angry at being last to eat.

They ate silently, looking at each other. Sango didn't even look at her bowl as she got her first bite. She was so busy making sure that Miroku didn't do anything that she didn't see that her noodles were covered with an unfamiliar-looking red substance.

Miroku scooted closer to the girl next to him. She looked at him and was about to tell him not to try anything, when instead of words, a loud shriek came out of her mouth.

Sango jumped up, fanning her open mouth, and yelled horribly as she started running around the campsite. Then, three things happened at once.

Miroku also jumped up, and yelled, " Sango! Do you need CPR?!" (he learned this term from Kagome ) He launched himself at Sango and locked his mouth onto hers. She was too confused stop him.

Inu-Yasha fell over laughing, holding his stomach with tears coming out of his eyes.

Kagome fell next to him, her noodles forgotten, and she pounded the ground with her fist, wheezing to get air since she was laughing so hard.

And Miroku was still on Sango, who was waving her arms around frantically, as if that would get the monk off of her and cool down her burning mouth.

After Inu-Yasha had calmed himself down, he looked at the person who caused all of the mayhem. "You are really bad," he said with amusement. Kagome winked at him. "Do you have a way of cooling her mouth down?" Inu-Yasha asked. She sighed. "Since I knew that this would be the reaction, I brought along some nice cold milk. It was really tough keeping it cold." She dug in her bag and brought out a tiny cooler and opened it. Inside was a small bottle of milk, surrounded by ice. She got up slowly, and walked over to Sango, who had tears in her eyes. "Drink this," she said calmly, and handed her the bottle. Sango ripped the top off and guzzled the milk, calming down, and looking humble. Kagome smiled triumphantly. `I hope that they have finally figured out that you can never play a player. That doesn't really apply to me, but they should get the main point,' she thought.

Sango was extremely quiet after the tabasco prank, and didn't talk much to Kagome when she didn't have to. Kagome was starting to worry that she had traumatized her into silence. Whenever she glanced at Sango, the other girl lowered her eyes quickly from staring at her. `I know that she is up to something, bur I don't know if it is a prank. She just seems expectant,' Kagome thought.

Miroku and Inu-Yasha noticed Sango's change in personality, but both of their reactions were different. Inu-Yasha thought the same thing that Kagome did, that maybe Sango was planning to get back at Kagome for that horrible trick. Inu-Yasha smiled proudly, all sympathetic feelings for the female warrior forgotten. `Yep,' he thought smugly, `I knew that Kagome would come back with full force. That's my girl.' All thoughts in his mind slowed down after that statement. He tried to convince himself that he didn't mean it the way that it sounded. `But, I don't mean she's my girl as in literally my girl, but more like I'm proud of her and it just came out! I swear!'

Miroku was very anxious around Sango. He noticed that whenever she looked at him, she blushed and promptly looked at something else with a thoughtful look on her face. `But is that a blush of happiness,' he worried, `or a blush of barely contained rage? I wonder if, instead of instantly crushing my skull, she's planning some more painful revenge for humiliating her in front of everyone?! But if it is a blush of happiness, maybe she won't kill me, but just wack me for taking my time to make my feelings known! Maybe she's just embarrassed! I don't know…'

Sango didn't know how she felt about what Miroku did, and carefully chose not to think about it, which was very hard, because every time she looked at him, she suddenly remembered every detail … `Wait! Get control of yourself, girl!' She told herself. `You're supposed to be trying not to remember! You're just making it worse!' Sango forcefully removed those images from her mind's eye, and thought about what she was going to say to Kagome when they were finally alone…

When the group made camp for the evening, Kagome and Sango got their things together for their bath at the hot spring, just like every other night. Only this time, Sango followed Kagome to the spring, acting more like her maid servant than her close friend. Kagome pulled Sango up next to her and linked their arms together. Inu-Yasha nodded approvingly at this. `Soon, everything should be back to normal,' he thought.

When the girls got to the spring, Kagome turned to face Sango and folded her arms across her chest. "Okay, spill it. I know that you want to tell me something, so you can just stop acting so humble and polite." She grinned to take the insult from the words. Sango looked up with her own grin on her face, and a glint in her eyes besides. "Aww…was it that obvious?" she asked mock mournfully. Kagome nodded. "To me, who knows you very well, and since I'm a fellow girl who knows all the signs. Ok, now tell me."

Sango cleared her throat. "Well, since we have proved to each other that we are really good at pulling pranks, the only people left who haven't experienced our skills, are taking advantage of the thought that we like them too much to do something to them-" Sango's eyes flashed at the memory of what happened in front of everybody-"I propose that we play a trick on Inu-Yasha and Miroku now."

Steadily, during Sango's speech, Kagome's face had been changing. In the beginning, she looked like she was paying close attention to what Sango had to say. By the end of the speech, she looked like a little girl who was alone in a sweet shop, with a very mischievous look on her face. She broke out into a grin, that exposed all of her teeth, and Sango knew that she had successfully gotten Kagome to agree with the plan. `Finally, those arrogant boys will get what they deserve; taking it for granted that the prank war specially excluded them.'

"I think that is a brilliant idea!!" Kagome exclaimed. "Do you have any ideas already?" she asked. Sango blushed and shook her head. She had been hoping that Kagome would come up with a really good idea. "Well, I have a really good idea, I'll tell you, and tell me what you think, or if you want to change something." Sango immediately knew that she could rely on Kagome to come up with a great plan, as she listened to what the other had in mind. Their Prank Wars had suddenly taken a different turn, getting more complicated, but having the ability to have the greatest outcomes. She grinned when she heard the next part of the plan… "After we get them in that spot…..yes, and then we ….."
