Accidentally in Love

Chapter Seven – Fantastic Four

By Patche

Disclaimer – I do not own Inuyasha. Sadly, enough… I just get to enjoy playing with it's characters.

Summary – After Kagome is dumped by her boyfriend of nine months; her best friend, Inuyasha, decides the best way of getting him back is making him jealous. So, they both agree to keep it completely friendly and fake a relationship to make her ex jealous. However, the plan begins to fail when the two fall for each other.

It was the Monday back at school, again… Kagome and Inuyasha still hadn't talked. Inuyasha because he didn't know what to say… and Kagome because Inuyasha wasn't talking to her. And here they sat in their last class of the day, English.

Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who sat right next to her. He looked so lost. He'd looked this way ever since the party.

I guess kissing him was a bad idea… Kagome thought to herself. She looked to her left and saw Miroku passing the girl who sat in front of him a note. She turned around. It was Sango. They must've met at the party. Kagome smiled to herself thinking they would be the cutest couple. Sango opened the note and read it over quickly before pashing Miroku on the head with her fist. Kagome twitched.

Guess not…

"Alright then, class. Your project for the next two weeks is to act out the role of the four lovers in A Midsummer Night's Dream." The teacher said. "I'll put you all into groups." He looked around the class and smiled.

"Alright, Yuka, Haro, Ayumi, and Kisa." The four looked at him.

"Don't we need two boys and two girls?" They asked. The teacher shook his head.

"You're just reading the part… but with drama!" He shouted, emphasizing the last word. Kagome rolled her eyes. What a project! She thought sarcastically.

"Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome!" He said as the four of them looked up at him, then at each other. He went on naming other groups.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Sango said looking at Miroku. "I don't want to do this…" She said softly.

"Well, we have to figure out our roles." Miroku leaned into Sango, giving her a sly smirk. "I say I'm Lysander and you're Hermia…" He smirked. Sango grew as red as a tomato and slapped him across the face. Kagome sighed.

"Alright, Sango, you be Hermia… Inuyasha, you be Lysander. I'll be Helena and Miroku can be Demitrius."

"Fine by me." Sango said crossing her arms. Miroku just smiled embarrassed. However, Kagome could feel eyes on her. She turned to see Inuyasha staring at her dumfounded.

"You don't want to be Hermia?" He asked. Kagome shook her head.

"Hermia and Lysander end up together…" She said simply. Inuyasha just looked at the ground as Kagome turned to the other two members of her group.

"So… my house for rehearsal, then?" Sango asked. Everyone nodded solemnly.

Sango lived close enough to the school to walk... but pretty darn far from the school. She and Miroku were leading the way laughing and talking and doing the grope n' slap. Kagome and Inuyasha were far behind… still not talking to each other.

"I wonder what's up with them…" Sango said to Miroku. He just shrugged.

"They're in love with each other but just can't admit it. It I were Inuyasha, I'd have no problem telling a beautiful girl like Kagome that I loved her." Miroku said absently, receiving a slap on the cheek.

"What was that for?" He asked. Sango blushed and smiled nervously.

"You had a mosquito on your cheek." She said softly, still blushing.

Kagome sighed and watched her feet as she strode down the street, still walking in sync with Inuyasha.

"Why aren't we talking?" Inuyasha asked, looking over at her. Kagome didn't even look up to face him.

"You're mad at me because of what happened at Sango's party…" She said softly. Inuyasha blinked and stopped, causing Kagome to stop too.

"You mean… you kissing me?" He asked. Kagome nodded sheepishly, looking him in the eyes now.

"I shouldn't have done it." She said softly. Inuyasha ran in front of her and grabbed her shoulders, looking deep into her eyes.

"Kagome… don't say that. I'm so glad you did…" He said. His eyes were softer than Kagome would have expected. Kagome smiled and embraced him tightly.

"It was the best moment of my life…" He whispered into her ear. Kagome gasped.

"Hey, you guys! Come on!" Sango was shouting from almost half a mile away. Kagome blushed and let go of Inuyasha.

"Come on." She grabbed his hand and they ran to catch up to Sango and Miroku.

At Sango's house, the four of them began work on their project. The teacher had other things he wanted them to do other than just acting out the story. They had to create costumes and find music to play during all the scenes. Even theme songs for each character.

"Hey Kagome…" Sango looked up at her, blushing. The two boys were outside gathering flowers and leaves to add to the costumes while they were stuck inside making the costumes.

"Yea?" She asked looking up at her bright red friend.

"Would you maybe… want to be Hermia?" She asked. Kagome smiled.

"You want to be with Miroku?" She asked. Sango blushed more and nodded. Kagome smiled.

"Sure." She said softly. Sango smiled and nodded her head in appreciation.

"So, how did you meet him?" Kagome asked, wondering how her newest annoying perverted friend could have won the attention of the most popular girl in school.

"Well, we've had English together and… he's always sat behind me. And he'd always grope me whenever I stood up or anything and it did get old… but at my party…" Sango looked down. "We kind of… got a little drunk and made out in my bedroom…" She said softly. Kagome laughed.

"Was that what his little note in class today had to do with?" Sango laughed as well and nodded.

"Yea, he asked me if I'd like to continue what we started…" She said as the two girls erupted into giggle fits. Inuyasha and Miroku watched through a window.

"They're making fun of you." Inuyasha said. Miroku looked at hi puzzled.

"How do you know?" He asked. Inuyasha shook his head and sighed watching Kagome laugh. It was like she was glowing every time she smiled. It was so beautiful to him. He shook himself out of his gaze and picked up a black iris he found laying next to him.

"I can help you win the heart of that raven-haired beauty!" Miroku said as Inuyasha picked up the black flower. It instantly made him think of Kagome. He laughed heartily and looked at Miroku.

"Because you've just won so many hearts…" He said. Miroku nodded.

It was dark out now and Inuyasha and Kagome were walking home together.

"You know… I think Miroku and Sango would make a cute couple." Kagome said softly. Inuyasha nodded, seeming a bit distant.

"Something on your mind, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded as they reached her house. He walked her up to her door.

"Umm yea…" He said softly. He grabbed held Kagome's chin up with one clawed finger. "I love you…" He said softly almost as a whisper. Kagome gasped.

"You wha-" She was cut off by his lips covering her own. He kissed her passionately, grabbing the back of her head. Kagome smiled halfway through the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Kagome, are you-" Her mother had opened the door and gasped at the sight before her. The two were instantly pulled apart from each other, blushing wickedly. Kagome's mother smiled and shut the door.

Inuyasha laughed nervously looking at Kagome. The wind picked up ever so slightly and gently tossed Kagome's black hair around.

"Ummm good night…" She said softly, kissing him lightly. Inuyasha smiled and walked away waving to her.

Kagome opened the door and closed it before sliding down it to the ground, holding her head. What have I done? She asked herself. I've fallen… too hard…

AN: Alrighty, again… I want to apologize for last night's chapter… it might seem a bit confusing and short and that is because I was dead tired. So, thanks for the reviews. I'm updating today so the story doesn't die from that last chapter lol. And yes… things seem very squishy between Inuyasha and Kagome… for now… (Maniacal laughter)

So please review if you liked it. More will be up soon. I'd love a lot of reviews though… that would be so nice. So even if you didn't like it, at least tell me what I can do better please.

Love always,
