Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.
---------------------------------------------
We were at the mall for 4 hours already, just shopping. Sango, who is probably better than Ayame, went crazy. Now I understand why the boys were groaning. We are now at the food court waiting in line to get out food. Inuyasha and I haven't really said much since the Kikyo insident. Miroku was so busy holding bags that he hadn't touched Sango's backside at all today.
"Angel, come over here with me for a second." Sango pulled me out of line, earning a look from Inuyasha and Miroku, and over to a corner of the food court.
"What?" I asked her, once we were away from the guys.
"I'm going to get you and Inuyasha together." She declared.
"No you're not."
"And why not?"
"Because we don't like each other that way." I told her, glaring at her.
Sango sighed while rolling her eyes.
"He dumped Kikyo, held your hand through out the mall, and spent more time with you, than Kikyo. What more proof do you need that he likes you?"
"Sango, he doesn't like me."
"You think so?" I nodded. "Fine, I'm going to prove that he likes you, just watch and learn." She said as we headed back to the boys.
They boys had already got them and us food, so we sat down and began to eat.
"So Inuyasha, who do you think is prettier, Angel or me?" Sango asked glaring at me.
"I don't know. Why?"
"No reason."
"Sango, you're up to something." Inuyasha declared, as he put another fry into his mouth.
"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" Sango asked innocently.
"Sango, just stop. You know that it's not true already." I said referring to 'what she was up to'.
I don't know why I don't just tell Inuyasha that she's trying to get us together, and then tell him to tell her that he doesn't feel that way, because he doesn't. Or...does he?
"You know perfectly well that I'm right, and I won't stop until I prove that."
"What are you two talking about?" Miroku asked, finally coming into the conversation.
"Miroku, we're talking about the thing a couple days ago." Sango told him, obviously talking about their 'plan' that I heard her say from the pool party.
"Oh."
"Am I the only one lost here?" Inuyasha said, still completly clueless.
"Yup, pretty much." Sango admitted as she was thinking.
"Inuyasha can I talk to you for a minute." Miroku asked the confused hanyou.
"Yeah."
The boys walked away until I couldn't hear them talking. I could tell they were talking about me thought, because Miroku pointed to me. When they came back Inuyasha was blushing a light pink.
"You didn't break him did you? He looks like a tomato." Sango said over exagerating.
"No, I didn't. All I did was tell him something that he should already know." Miroku smiled at me, and I blushed.
Miroku and Sango, they're both trying to get Inuyasha and I, together. I think if two people are meant to be then, those two people need to figure it out, not their friends.
"I'll be back." I got up and headed to the bathroom.

INUYASHA'S POV
"So Inuyasha, what do you think of Angel?" Miroku asked me, as my blush got redder.
"She's nicer than Sango." I told him, which wasn't a complete lie.
"No, what do you think of her, like as in do you like her."
"She's my friend, that's it."
"Boy are you clueless." Sango entered our conversation. "We all know that you must have a thing for her, well except her of course, but you dumped Kikyo for her." Sango half yelled at me.
"I didn't dump Kikyo for her."
Alright that was kind of a lie but still, do they expect me to just blurt out my feelings. I admit, I do like her but not enough to love her.
"You're useless." Miroku hit me on the back of the head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" I yelled.
"For being useless. You're not telling us what we want to hear." Miroku explained.
"Well sorry for telling the truth." I lied once more.
"Inuyasha, you loved Kikyo right?" Sango asked
"Sure, you can go with that."
"Well you wouldn't just dump someone you love out of the blue."
"She was saying rude things, and also ticking me off." I told her the half truth.
"Maybe, but Miroku does rude things and ticks me off, but I still date him don't I?"
"Yes, but I don't know how you do it."
"That's beside the point. You can't just dump someone you loved without there being another person." She barked.
"Sango, sorry to disapoint you, but there is no other person!"
-------------------------
KAGOME'S POV
"Hey guys, what'd I miss?" I asked once I came back
"Nothing, just yelling and Inuyasha being useless." Miroku said as the two kept yelling.
"YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT WITHOUT A REASON!"
"THERE IS A REASON!"
"YEAH THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON!"
"NO THERE'S NOT!"
This went on for another ten minutes before we finally broke them up. Miroku had to take Sango away from Inuyasha so I was stuck with Inuyasha, trying to prevent him from going after and killing Sango, not that he'll succeed.
"What was that all about?" I asked quietly.
"Nothing. It was nothing."
"All that yelling for nothing?"
"Well it was something, but..." He trailed off.
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me."
He gave me a weak smile as he sat there, thinking from what I could tell.
"Angel, how do you know when you like someone?"
"Where'd that come from?"
I knew where it came from, but why was he asking me this?
"I don't know." I looked at him.
"I don't know if I'm the right person you should ask, I was in love only once, and my love...well...passed on." I told him saddened at the though.
"Still with Kouga, how did you know?"
Was I really having this conversation with him? He's suppose to be the school's hot-shot and he's asking me about love?
"At first we were enemies, then we got to know each other, and well, I guess I started to like him more and more, until in turned into love."
"Oh."
"Why?"
"No reason, just...I don't know." He said as he looked down at his feet.
"My mom once told me, that everyone had a soul mate. That everyone, no matter who they are, had someone to love, and whether they find that person or not, is up to them." I sighed. "My mom told me a story, about two people who travled the world, just to find their true love, and when they found them, they were right back where they started. For some love is easy to find, for others it's harder. I guess it depends how determined you are, and if you keep your eyes and heart open."
That story brought back so much memories for me. Every night my mom would always tell me a story when I was younger, but out of all of them, that story was my favorite.
"Thanks Angel. You helped me figure out something." Inuyasha gave me a weak smile and headed off in the direction of Sango and Miroku.
