Inuyasha sighed. He had nowhere to go, seeing as how his mother was still cleaning and Kagome kicked him out of her house. He began to walk down the street, not exactly knowing where he was going. Then he thought, 'Maybe I can talk to Miroku about this.' He was hesitant about heading towards that way, but eventually gave in.

Ding Dong Ding Dong

"Alright already, I'm coming!" Miroku yelled opening the door. "Inuyasha? What are you doing here? Do you know how late it is right now? Jeez, why didn't you go bother Ka… something happened didn't it?"

As usual, Miroku read him like a book. He and Kagome (and sometimes Sango) could usually figure out Inuyasha's emotions pretty quickly, seeing as how they've known each other for years now. He quickly ushered Inuyasha in.

After telling Miroku the entire story, he asked, "Is there something I don't know?"

'There's so much you don't know, you oaf. But only time will tell before you finally figure it out.'

Suddenly, the phone rang. "I'll be right back."

Miroku picked up the phone. "Sango, my dear! How have you been? Have you decided to bare my children?" Inuyasha could hear shouting on the other side. Then the voice calmed down, still inaudible. Miroku furrowed his eyebrows. Then he glanced at Inuyasha. "Hey, let me call you back in just a minute."

He hung up the phone, and told Inuyasha, "I need to make an important call, just stay right here, and help yourself to anything," as he walked upstairs.

Inuyasha may be dense, but he's not totally stupid. He followed Miroku up to his room, staying hidden. He heard Miroku dial the phone again and talk to Sango again. 'Whatever he wanted to say to her obviously doesn't concern me then. Maybe he just wants to talk to her privately.' He thought. Then he heard his name and listened in again.

"So Kagome told you about Inuyasha too? Well actually, he's at our house right now. Mmhmm. It's about time though. I just wish she didn't have to say it so harshly. No, I don't she told him about Kikyou, she's too afraid he won't believe her, and knowing that stubborn buffoon, he probably won't…"

'What does Kikyou have to do with anything? Is she keeping something from me?' He asked himself, confused. He listened in again.

"I don't think she's ever going to tell him about seeing Kikyou at the mall with that one guy. I mean, Kikyou did tell her, that either way, it's a win-win situation for Kikyou. If Kagome tells him, he doesn't believe her, and will go to her for comfort. If she keeps her mouth shut, Kikyou will still get him. Either way, Kagome's the one being hurt here. I just wish Inuyasha could see it. I know. Hey, I'll talk to you later, Inuyasha might sneak up here and figure out what's taking me so long. And Sango? I love you. Bye." Miroku said as he hung up the phone.

Inuyasha quickly raced down the stairs. Luckily, his super demon speed allowed him to get down the stairs as if he's been there for years.

Miroku came downstairs and looked at Inuyasha. He seemed to be in more of a daze than earlier.

"Hey, sorry that took so long. Just a phone call with the oh so lovely Sango about a date and whatnot." Miroku said sheepishly, in an attempt to cover up his real reason for chatting with her.

"It's fine. I was thinking about heading out anyway. I'm sure my mother's done cleaning by now. And the house doesn't look like hell. So Miroku? Thanks.

"Wait, Inuyasha, what are you gonna do? You can't exactly just leave Kagome the way she is. She's trying to push you away when she needs you the most, if you haven't realized it yet." Miroku told him.

"Don't worry. I have." He said as he walked out the door.

He jumped on his bed, and pondered about what he just heard. 'She's been cheating on me? For how long? Why didn't anyone tell me?! Then again, I probably wouldn't have believed anyone. But now, I'm not so sure. She's always gone, and she's acting so suspicious. Man, how could I have not noticed this before?'

Just then, Izayoi entered his room.

"Hey there! Just wanted to check up on you. Where did you go anyway? I called Kagome's house to find out you weren't there."

Inuyasha took a breath. Since Izayoi knew Kagome so well, maybe she could really help him.

"Okaa-san, does Kagome… does she… does she really love me?" He blurted out. His mother just looked at him surprised.

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?" Inuyasha quickly told her what had occurred in the past hour or so.

"I told you that Kikyou girl was bad news. And to answer your question, yes. She really does and she has for years now. We've all been waiting for you to realize that, but I guess Kikyou got to you first."

"What? We? Who's we? Why didn't anyone tell me? Then none of this would've happened!"

"Would it be true love, if you didn't find it for yourself? Here's a question for you, do you love her?" Izayoi asked. She left him to think for himself, and quietly shut the door behind her.

Yay! Christmas break! Sorry for not updating! I try my best to update when I can. But I can only do so when the ideas come to me. So, he's finally figured everything out. What's going to happen next? I have no idea.
