Love is Inevitable

Chapter 1: It's a Bet

The moment the sun's rays embraced Kagome's room, she immediately hid behind her blanket in order to dodge the brightness. It was a beautiful day outside for a sunday and Kagome knew that a beautiful day meant a shopping day on her agenda. She comfortably slipped out of bed with a yawn and procceeded to walk down the stairs to make some breakfast. She wasn't sure exactly what to make since her mother no longer lives with her anymore. Kagome suddenly remember those days when she would walk down the stairs and breakfast would already be prepared. She would fight with Souta for the food her mom made. But now, her mom currently resides back at the old shrine her grandfather lives in. It was a good idea to remain there, since her mom isn't a city person at all. Life in Tokyo is like living in the fast lane. Everything was a rush. Going to work and coming back home. There never seems to be enough time in between to relieve all that stress. However, Kagome was only a college student. The only thing she needs to worry about is school and getting a good job to support her family. Not that they were poor, but Kagome thought that it'd be nice to know money isn't going to be a problem in her life. As long as she's financially secure, she figured she would stress less.

Snapping out of her trance, Kagome decided to make a simple breakfast of eggs and a bowl of cereal. After preparing the meal, she brought her dish of eggs to the table; and before she could take a bite, the door bell rings. Sighing Kagome gets up.

'Who dares to disturb my breakfast!' she thought. Looking through the tiny mirror in the door, Kagome saw a very miserable Sango, with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Oh Sango! What's wrong!? You look horrible! Come in!" Kagome immediately takes her friend's hand and let her into her apartment.

"I'm just about to chow down on some food, so we can chat while we eat." Kagome led Sango to her kitchen, and both of them sat down.

"So, what happened?" Kagome asked curiously, "Is it Koga again?" Sango stared at kagome and shook her head.

"No, it's Miroku...this time," said Sango guiltily.

"What!" exclaimed Kagome, "You're going out with Miroku now? Sango! Why do you have a bajillion boyfriends!?" Kagome was rather annoyed now. During the past years in highschool, all Sango did was go crazy for boys. She would go out with one for a week and then get tired of him. It wasn't that she liked playing around, she claimed it to be finding her soul mate. How would you know if you don't look? but Kagome thought it was all rubbish. Boys aren't interested in finding a "soul mate" during highschool, even in college for that matter.

"Sango, how many times do I have to tell you. College is not highschool! You can't just fool around like this! Especially with boys...! You have a lot of other things to worry about, like your studies and major." Kagome was tired of trying to teach her friend the same concept over and over. Sango never listens anyway.

Sango sighed. She wiped the remaining tears in her eyes away.

"Kagome, I know what you mean... I really do. But I find it so hard to control myself. Miroku is just so... handsome! I know looks isn't everything, but when he talks to me, in that smooth manner I just can't help but for heads over heels for him!"

"But now you're breaking up with him right?" asked Kagome.

"Well... we haven't exactly went out yet... but he said that I was cute..." Sango blushed having told her friend this.

"Then what are you crying for?" asked Kagome again, curious as to where this is leading to. Sango rolled her eyes and sighed,

"I saw him with another girl. They were making out. It got me so mad! I thought he liked me."

"That's what you were crying over!" Kagome exclaimed, shocked that she would cry over a guy.

"Sango, he's probably just playing around with you! I'd watch out..." warned Kagome, afraid that her best friend would fall too deep for him.

"But you don't understand! It's so hard to ignore him... he's always around... and I think he likes me" Sango said softly. Kagome sighed.

"I will never understand how you people sacrifice your emotions like that over a guy that just fools around. Seriously, it's not even worth it."

"Kagome, when you fall in love, you'd understand. It's so simple... You think about him every single day and you just want to make him happy!" Sango said in a dazed.

"Ugh... that's called a fairy tale. This is called real life Sango. Guys are not all good people... I don't think I can fall in what you call "love". I mean I see people who fall madly in love with each other at first sight, and their relationship is great for a few years... but then by the time they get married, have kids... it's all indifference after that. Sango I don't think I can believe in love, maybe just passion for a certain amount of time before it dies out."

"Kagome, you're still naive," Kagome stared at her friend. Her naive? She's more like the mature one here! Sango continued after noticing her friend's perplexed face, "You never fell in love, so you don't understand. But it's the greatest thing in the world! And I bet you that by the end of college, you will fall in love without a doubt."

"You bet me?" Kagome asks, raising one of her eyebrow.

"Hm...," Sango thought, "Yes I bet you."

"Hahaha, Sango you do know who you're talking to right? You're talking to a girl who's never had a single crush on a guy since elementary, middle to high school. What makes you think I will like someone in college?"

"Expect the unexpected Kagome! I'm sure you will fall in love. If you do, I win the bet and your punishment will be to kiss the guy haha!" Laughed Sango, she was finding this rather amusing.

"And if I lose the bet, you're not dating for an entire month!" Kagome said reasurringly.

'I definitely won't lose that bet... all I have to do is avoid men for the entire year. And exactly how hard is that?' Kagome smiled. There's no way she's going to lose. And maybe not dating for a month is good for Sango. It might clear her head and help her understand what college is suppose to be about.
