Title: If only you knew

Summary: She was in love with him. He was clueless, so she'd pretend. Yeah. Pretend that he was just her best friend. He was in love with another girl, so she'd listen. Listen to him break her heart over and over again. AU Fic InuxKag

Disclaimer: Ha, if I owned the goddamn show, Kagome and Inuyasha would be screaming out their love for each other.

"Aiyah! I'm coming already! No need to pound!" Kagome yelled at the door as she rushed down the stairs.

Kagome opened the door to find a middle-aged woman with long black hair, amber eyes, and a casual dress on. Kagome squealed with excitement.

"Izayoi-chan!" Kagome ran and hugged Inuyasha's mother and her trusted friend.

"Kagome-chan! It's been awhile since I last talked to you, so I thought I'd just drop by and visit." Izayoi replied as they pulled away from the hug. Kagome could easily tell that there was something on her mind.

"I know you too well to fall for that, Izayoi-chan, what's wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly.

"Oh? No no! It's not about me! To tell the truth, I came over because I was worried about you… Inuyasha told me about that new girl at school." She said.

"Oh really? She seems nice, huh?" Kagome said with a sad smile, tears threatening to fall. "Why don't you come in so we can catch up?"

"Oh deary, of course, you won't believe how much I've missed you." She said somewhat cheerfully.

They went inside and talked about the most random things from school to boys to the newest Korean dramas (A/N: I loooove Korean dramas!).

"Kagome, how are you coping with everything?" Izayoi inquired. Kagome just sighed. Although Izayoi was a close friend, she did have a knack for being nosy. Luckily, she was very trustworthy and strongly confided in her.

"Well, to tell the truth… I feel horrible! I don't understand why he likes her! It doesn't make any sense. What's wrong with being with me?" Kagome cried.

"Shh… its okay, dear. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you nothing at all, it's just… I think Inuyasha is just so used to you being his best friend that he hasn't realized how much you love him." Izayoi replied as she hugged her. 'And most of all, I think has yet to realize his feelings for you.' She thought to herself.

"Sometimes I wish I wasn't his best friend..." Kagome said miserably.

"Oh dear, I know you don't mean that." Izayoi said.

"If I wasn't, then I'd be the one in Kikyou's shoes! Maybe not with Inuyasha but maybe someone better! I hate this! I hate being unable to be happy! I just want to feel loved for once." Kagome said tears falling softly.

"It'll be okay dear, I promise." She said quietly.

The time quickly passed and Kagome's mother came in.

"Izayoi!" She said surprised. "What a surprise! I didn't know you were coming over!"

"Amy! (Okay, so totally not Japaneseyish, but it's all good!) It's been so long!" They squealed as they hugged each other as Izayoi and Kagome did previously. Soon enough, they were in their own world and Kagome left them alone.

With Miroku and Sango

"I just don't understand it Miroku! How can two people not realize how much they love each other? Inuyasha is just so dense!" Sango complained. Miroku and she were hanging out at Sango's house. They were both very worried about Kagome and were thinking of a way to cheer her back up.

"Aa. Let's just take a break and-"

SLAP

"This is a very serious matter! I told you more than a zillion times to stop freaking groping me!" She screamed at him.

"Sorry! It wasn't my fault! My hand, your butt, it's like magnetic!" He said with false innocence. Sango sighed exasperatedly.

"I just don't understand. They were meant to be together."

"And they will be. Inuyasha's just slower to realize all of this. Eventually, he will and come running to her." Miroku said calmly.

"I hope you're right. But I still don't get it. It's been 16 years now, and he has yet to realize it."

'Yeah, sort of like how you haven't realized how much I've loved you yet, correct?' Miroku thought sadly to himself. Sango noticed his smile faltering.

"What's wrong Miroku?" She asked worriedly. He quickly put on his fake mischievous smile once more, "Why nothing my dear Sango, just thinking about what a shame Kagome has to go through all this."

"Me too." She sighed again.

Aww… Poor Miroku, looks like Sango and Inuyasha are in the same position. A little short, but don't worry! Kikyou will be in the next chapter!
