Yeah! This is my 3rd Inu fanfic. I can never think of any stories for anything else. This idea just poped into my head yesterday, and I wasn't around a computer...no wait, I was. I was just too lazy to write it. Now onto the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Chapter 1-Let's Make A Deal

Inuyasha and the gang were staying at Kaede's for the night to take a break from everything. The night before Inuyasha had talked with Kikyo, and he hadn't been able to look Kagome in the face yet. Kagome had begun to become a little worried about Inuyasha and Kikyo. She didn't want to force Inuyasha to love her, but she didn't want him to love Kikyo. Being with Inuyasha made her so confused and frusterated, but at the same time it made her happy. At the moment everyone was asleep, except Kagome. She got up and went outside to get some fresh air, and to think about a couple of things. It was really dark outside, but the stars and the moon illuminated the sky. What a romantic night Kagome thought too bad I'm by myself out here.

"Kagome?" A voice said coming from inside of Kaede's.

Kagome turned, half hoping that it was Inuyasha, to see Miroku emerging from the darkness of the hut.

"Miroku, what are you doing up?" Kagome asked.

"I wasn't asleep yet and I saw you going outside. I thought you were going back to your own time without telling us."

"No, I'm not leaving. I thought about it, but I'm staying."

"You're thinking about Kikyo, aren't you."

Kagome looked towards the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's not something I should be talking about." Miroku said.

"No, it's ok. I am thinking about Kikyo. I just can't stop thinking about how Inuyasha feels about her, and how he feels about me. I can't help but get depressed."

"I know that Inuyasha still has feelings for Kikyo, but he does love you too. I think he just can't let go of the past."

"Well what am I supposed to do? Just sit here and love him when Kikyo doesn't. I feel like I'm being used just so he can keep his mind off of her. I want him to just think about me, but I guess that's pretty selfish." Kagome was getting more depressed.

"But he does think about you, he gets jealous a lot." "When he gets jealous he thinks about me..." Kagome started. She thought about it for a while, then came to a conclusion. "Miroku, I was thinking. If he thought that I was in love with somebody else, he would want me to be with him, right?"

"That seems to be how he feels when you're around Kouga." Miroku thought about it for a second. "Wait, are you thinking about pretending to be in love with somebody else?"

"Do you think it would work?"

"Maybe, but who would you pretend to love?"

"Someone I could be around a lot."

"Well I guess that means either Shippo or me," Miroku said smiling.

"You wouldn't mind would you?"

"Us pretending to be in love? I won't mind a bit."

Miroku got up from the ground and started to walk back towards Kaede's.

"And Miroku, don't do any perverted stuff, we're only pretending."

"Of course Kagome, I would never think of it," Miroku laughed uneasily and kept walking.

Ok, that's it. Please review, and no flames but if you have any ideas for what happens next I would like to hear them, I might use them.
