CHAPTER DEDICATED TO xxInuloverxx

The next day, the gang had decided to go to an amusement park. Kagome and Sango were both real excited. Nothing told it better. They were both jumping and squeeling.

"I can't wait Sango!"Kagome shouted. Sango just nodded placed a smiled, a big sloppy one. Kagome's face cringed abit and she giggled.

"Geeze Kagome, cool your horses."InuYasha said yawning, Kagome just glared at him and Kikyo walked over to InuYasha and dragged him over towards his car, this confused Kagome...and hurt her. Sango looked over at Kagome, feeling bad for her.

"It's okay Kagome, cheer up."Sango dragged Kagome away.

"InuYasha! Can you please stop arguing with Kagome! Please!!"Kikyo shouted at him. He looked at her then sighed in defeat. She smiled proudly and thought about changing the subject."InuYasha..."Serious in her voice.

"Yeah...?"InuYasha knew where this was going.

"I know you are fond of Kagome, but why are you talking to me? I mean...I want us to be..m-more..."Kikyo studdered. InuYasha soften his eyes and he just stayed calm, awaiting Kikyo to finish her speech."Are you trying to torture me, InuYasha...? Or are you just not ready?"

"Kikyo, let's not rush anything okay."InuYasha said walking away from Kikyo. Kikyo just stared at his back as he walked away. InuYasha knew exactly why he wasn't asking Kikyo to be his girlfriend yet...Kagome. He knew that their relationship was going to change if he started dating Kikyo. He didn't want that, his fears was to loose his friendship with Kagome, but he knew that he had to either just ask Kikyo to be his girlfriend, or stop leading her on.

As he walked back he saw Kagome, with her curly hair...her beautiful long curly wavy hair, being blowned in the wind. He had to admit, Kagome was sure so beautiful and changed so much as he she grew up. They've been neighbors ever since, forever. He knew that Kagome was always the one to understand him the most, and he was always so opened to her, when they were to talk alone. She had that special kind of bond that no one else had...but he knew he couldn't have her. Not all too himself, she was too wonderful. So he didn't know what to do, until Kikyo came along. He met Kikyo and became good friends with her, and actually he was kinda fond of Kikyo, and they both just started talking.

"Hey, we all ready to go?"InuYasha said walking up to Kagome and the gang. He smiled at Kagome and she smiled back at him. They all nodded.

"Just waiting for you, man."Kouga said.

"Alright, let's head out then."InuYasha walked to his car, where Kikyo was still standing...still in deep thought."Let's go."She nodded and got inside his car. Kagome drove her own car with Miroku and Sango in it. Kouga and Ayame went with InuYasha.

At a stop light, Kagome stepped on her brake and then she pushed down on the drive and her engine made a loud noise, impling that she wanted a challenge from InuYasha. He glared at her and smirked. He did the same and as the red light switched to green, Kagome blew InuYasha a kiss, which caught him by surprise and he stopped for a minute to realize she was way ahead of him and then they stopped at a red light and she winked at him, knowing him...his pride had shattered, and he was embarrased. He growled and Kikyo just held onto her heart as InuYasha drove. Kouga shouting at InuYasha to drive faster and Ayame holding onto Kouga for dear life.

Sango and Miroku were cheering Kagome on and she was laughing her behind off. Kagome thought it was funny that InuYasha was caught by surprise from her kiss and wink. It totally ticked him off, she knew. Giggling as she turned off her engine waiting for InuYasha and them to get there.

"Wow, Kagome. You sure whooped them good!!"Sango shouted, entertained. Miroku laughed and started walking towards the entrance.

InuYasha's car finally parked and the gang stepped out of it. Kikyo and Ayame shookened, and Kouga and InuYasha disappointed. InuYasha was grumbling and Kouga was telling him he was weak.

They entered the amusement park and started riding all the scary rides, which Kikyo was scared of the most. It was amazing. Everyone was having a great time, and Kagome was starting to get hungry. So they stopped for ice cream. After the ice cream, they were going on another rollercoaster, but Kikyo was too shooken to go on so InuYasha decided to offer and stay with Kikyo since he had invited her. The ride was about 10 minutes long and InuYasha was getting impatient.

"What the hell is taking those dumbasses so long!?"InuYasha grumbled.

"Watch your mouth, InuYasha!"Kikyo shouted. He just glared at her and mumbled something under his breathe."Why, InuYasha?" This constant blubbering was annoying InuYasha and then he turned and saw the gang and was walking towards them, until Kikyo grabbed him by the arms and pulled him into her embrace.

Kagome stopped in her tracks as she saw Kikyo hug InuYasha. Everyone turned to Kagome and saw her with widen eyes and her jaw slightly open. Kikyo pulled away quickly and looked into his eyes.

"I'm not going to let you dodge my questions!"Kikyo shouted and pulled InuYasha down and kissed him on the lips, hard and rough. He was too stunned to even process this into his head and then his eyes soften and he kissed her back. Kagome's breathe hitched into her throat and she ran away, towards her car. Sango and Miroku followed after Kagome and Kouga and Ayame decided to stay and talk with InuYasha after words.

Kagome ran, ran as fast as she can...away from him. She knew that if she was to talk to him, she would be heart brokened, so she didn't.

"How could you do this to me InuYasha?!"Kagome shouted and tears fell.

As she saw her car, she hopped in but heard a knock at her window and saw Miroku and Sango, so she let them in..

"Kagome!Are you okay!?"Sango said worriedly.Kagome nodded her head then started crying.

"No, Sango...I'm not okay!!!"Kagome cried, knowing that Sango would still ask her constantly. Miroku went to Kagome and hugged her.

"Kagome, just forget about InuYasha and let's go home."Miroku said pulling away and Kagome wiped her tears and turned her engine on and drove away.

InuYasha pulled away to smelling tears and no sign of Miroku, Sango, and...Kagome. He knew she must of been upset, but he couldn't stop himself. He looked down at Kikyo to see her smiling at him in satisfication. He walked up to Kouga and Ayame, who were glaring at him wih infuration.

"Where...Kagome and them?"InuYasha asked softly. Kouga just snorted and walked towards the entrance. Ayame glared at Kikyo and InuYasha before answering,

"Where do you think sherlock!?" and walked away.

InuYasha pulled into the drive way, rubbing his temples as he started walking into his house. Today was a long day for him, first he had to deal with Kikyo bragging about their relationship, and then Kagome running off on them, THEN Kikyo forcing him, Ayame, and Kouga on a double date. He started having a bad feeling about all this...but he tried withdrawing himself from thinking like that.

He opened the door but stopped in his tracks as he heard Kagome's voice. She was singing a song, that was unusual to him...she was playing it and he heard it on the radio sometime ago. He figured her window was open so he listened carefully..

"Uh huh...that's right...
We sign our cards and letters BFF...uh huh
You've got a million ways to make me laugh...yeah
You're looking out for me
You've got my back
It's so good to have you around"

InuYasha listened carefully, knowing the sorrow in her voice. 'Was this song meant for me?' He thought.


"You know the secrets I could never tell...uh huh
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
Cuz you keep my feet on the ground"

InuYasha smiled sadly at how the song knew Kagome and him so well.

"You're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when somethin ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
You're a true friend"

"Was this song really dedicated for me?" InuYasha thought aloud.

"You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say I told you when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I found..."

InuYasha thought about all the times he had hurted Kagome so miserably, and yet she just stood there listening to him and his complaints. Even without a second thought, she knew everything about him. Even Kikyo doesn't know that he was half-demon...but Kagome fully accepted him...he just wasn't sure about Kikyo.

"A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when somethin ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again"

Memories of him and Kagome flashed through his head.

"True friends will go to the ends of the earth
Til they find the things you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cuz they've got someone to believe in"

Kagome sat in her favorite spot of her room singing with all her heart, tears falling out. She didn't know why she was singing this song...but InuYasha was her true friend...

"A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when somethin ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend"

InuYasha smelt Kagome's tears, and he absolutely felt horrible. Why did he always go and make Kagome cry all the time? That he didn't know...and that he felt bad for himself.

"Oh you're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when somethin ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
You're a true friend
You're a true friend
You're a true friend "

Kagome stopped the singing sobbed miserably to herself, not knowing that a certain half-demon was over at the drive way, feeling guilty and knowing it's his fault.
