Hey I'm updating a story again! It's been longest since I updated this story...sooooo here it goes

---Why Can't We Be Friends?---

"Never? But you seemed to really like him" Sango stated, walking towards the back of the store.

Kagome followed mumbling, "Like? Like?! You must be joking!"

The best friend shook her head, "Nope, I'm quite serious"

Miroku smiled as he walked up next to Kagome, "I never knew you and Inuyasha were dating!"

"You saw that? We're not and never will! I just didn't want to date Koga"

Sango picked up some boxes from the back room and handed one to Kagome, "I don't know, I'm sure you two will date soon enough"

"You're both insane! If I say we're never gonna date, I MEAN IT!"

Inuyasha walked home that day, still trying to get the raven haired girl out of his head, "And good riddence too. I never want to see her again!"

He stopped short when he noticed her walking into her grandmother's yard again. He narrowed his eyes, "How many times she gonna visit? I'm tired of seeing her..."

"I heard that!" Kagome spoke and shut the gate behind her. She turned around and glared at the hanyou with crossed arms, "You don't have to talk to me just because I happen to be across the street! So...go away!"

"GLADLY!!" He marched into the gates of his home and disappeared inside his mansion of a house. Making his way to his room, he tossed his hat on the floor and flung himself onto the bed, "What a pain...I try to be nice and help her out today and she turns it around and makes me out to be some kind of monster."

The next day went by kind of slowly. Kagome was trying to dodge Koga at all costs, while Miroku and Sango traded their usual roundabout of gropes and slaps. Inuyasha came in at his lunch hour, looking for some new hats, since his old ones were, well, old. He hadn't realized the fact Kagome would be there. Kind of slipped his mind that she worked there.

He wasn't the only familiar face in Suki Kuni. Kagura and her friend were also there again, looking at clothes. Kagura's friend looked up and saw him, "Inuyasha!"

He turned and was met with cold brown eyes and a skimpy outfit, "Kikyo?"

"It's been ages!" She latched herself onto his arm and smiled.

Kagome noticed while pricing pants nearby and felt a tinge of jealousy go through her. 'Calm down girl. Its just a girl and that jerk together. I don't care! I hate him, remember?' She nodded reassuringly, but somehow didn't feel much better. She still wanted to go rip the two apart from each other.

Koga also noticed. Which wasn't a good thing, since Kagome had claimed she and Inuyasha were seeing each other. He walked over and acted casual, "Hello dogbreath. I see you're with someone new today?"

Inuyasha almost forgot about what happened yesterday, but then it hit him like a ton of bricks. He ripped himself away from Kikyo and glared, "There's no one new!"

Kagome appeared next to him. Kikyo seemed utterly confused, "Someone new? But Inuyasha, we've been dating for five months! Just because I moved away for awhile doesn't mean I left you! I'm back now and we can be together again!"

What great timing, Koga and Kagome standing right there to hear the whole thing too. Kagome clenched her fists but tried not to show her anger. Koga rose an eyebrow, "So you went dating poor Kagome while still dating this woman?"

Inuyasha shook his head. 'Think Inuyasha think! There's got to be some way outta this!' He sighed, "I gotta go!"

Before anyone could object, he was out the door and headed down the street towards some food place for lunch. Kagome looked at Koga, "I'm just as confused as you are." She tried to sound upset, which wasn't hard, seeing she was upset afterall. So Inuyasha had a girlfriend? Why should she care!? Kagome then marched off, trying to cool off, but that wasn't going to be easy.

Kikyo, Kagura and Koga (three Ks!!) were left standing there, trying to figure out what was going on. Koga glared, "That mutt is gonna pay for what he did. Excuse me" He smiled at the two customers and walked towards his office.

"Inuyasha's been seeing someone while I was gone?" Kikyo spoke while watching Kagome walk away. "I'll fix that..."

Sango sat down with Kagome in her apartment, "I'm surprised you didn't go spend the night at Kaede's again"

"I don't want to see that jerk!"

"What happened?"

"Turns out he's been dating this girl, Kikyo, or whatever. And now I have no way to get away from Koga..."

She lifted an eyebrow, "Sounds to me like you're more upset over the fact he's with someone else"

Kagome looked taken back by this. Sango was partly right. Why did it bother her so much anyway? She had no interest in the boy whatsoever. "Well he could've said something about it"

"Did you ever ask?"

"Well no but..."

"Thats why he never mentioned it. His personal life isn't really any of your business if you don't ask!"

Sango was once again right. Kagome sighed and took a sip of her tea, "Why is this so complicated?"
