Unfortunate Triangle
Explosion of Emotions
Kagome shivered and groggily opened her eyes. During the night she had turned onto her back thus throwing the blanket to one side and exposing quite a bit of her nearly nude body. Much more awake now that she had realized the situation; she grabbed the blanket and, with one swift movement, covered the areas where, in her opinion, the sun should never cast its rays. She looked around her to see if anyone was awake and had seen anything, but everyone seemed to be content in his or her dreamlands.
That is, except Miroku.
"What is that colorful apparel covering your breasts called, Lady Kagome?" he asked curiously.
Horror stricken, Kagome gawked at him for a moment before she quietly snapped, "Pervert!"
"Lady Kagome," the monk began with an offended expression, "I could have done much more than look upon your magnificent body even though I would never do such a thing. I am but a humble monk after all. I simply did not think that we should engage in such blissful acts of nirvana when you are so distraught."
"Dis," Kagome incredulously sounded out the word, "traught?"
"We will speak of it later," Miroku said, clipping off the conversation with those words.
Wrapping the blanket around her shoulders as securely as she could, she crept to her backpack and pulled out some clothes. Miroku carefully watched her, waiting for any slip of the blanket.
"Don't look, Miroku. I mean it," Kagome told him with a very serious look.
Miroku nodded, rested his head against the wall, and closed his eyes. However, he did peek once or twice as Kagome awkwardly put her clothes on underneath the cover of the blanket.
The others woke one by one as the hut filled with light, and soon everyone was eating breakfast before their quest for more shards. It was a rather quiet breakfast, seeing as no one had much to say to each other. Kagome could have said quite a few things to Inu-Yasha, but she wasn't at all angry with him. Nope, not one bit. Not her.
Inu-Yasha decided when their meal was over, and he said so despite Shippou's bickering. Starting their journey to the east just because it sounded like a nice direction to go, Kikyou suggested they split up and search for any clues or signs of shikon fragments. As each person went a different way, Kagome didn't particularly agree with this strategy when she saw Kikyou trailing Inu-Yasha off the path into the woods. Of course, Kagome didn't see this at all. It wasn't like she was watching either of them. What a silly notion.
Kagome continued up the path a bit and began veering to the right when she felt the aura of a shikon shard. As she slid down a steep hill, she tripped on an unexpected root and was sent tumbling. Landing in a patch of leaves and fallen branches, she mumbled a slightly mangled 'oof' and quickly regained her footing.
Only to see Kikyou and Inu-Yasha in each other's arms and kissing.
They had both turned to look at what the small squeak of surprise from Kagome was. Kikyou looked shocked for a moment before pursing her lips against Inu-Yasha's in unconcealed anger. Inu-Yasha was flabbergasted as his eyes bulged in bewilderment and his mouth slightly agape. He was ready for it. The big shout. The big fight. The big scream. The big sit. He braced himself.
But Kagome only closed her mouth and pulled it into a smile. "Woops! Sorry about that, you two. I felt your shards, Kikyou, but I thought they belonged to someone else. Don't mind me, though," she said with a small wave of her hand. Then she quickly scrambled back up the hill, leaving Kikyou and Inu-Yasha to "not mind her."
She felt her cheeks flush in humiliation as tears precariously quivered on the brims of her eyes. The boy she liked was in the arms of another girl and kissing her to boot, and she had to have witnessed it. She had had to actually see what he was like with someone he truly cared about, someone he probably loved.
"Kagome?"
She looked up at the call of her name.
"Oh, Sango," she acknowledged the other girl's presence.
"Kagome, are you okay?" her friend asked even though she knew she wasn't.
Nodding her head and applying a meaningless smile across her face, Kagome told her she was, then preceded to stagger into the other girl's arms to cry on her shoulder.
Sango hugged her and patted her hair until Kagome had quieted down a bit. "He can hear you, you know," she murmured.
Kagome realized that he probably could since he had the ears of a dog. Biting her lip, she swallowed a hiccup and stepped back from her friend. "Let's look for shards together, okay?" she suggested, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.
With a simple nod, Sango took Kagome's hand, and they helped each other climb back up to the path.
When they were what Sango considered to be out of Inu-Yasha's hearing range, she turned to Kagome, who was walking with a slight skip in her step, and said, "Don't pretend you don't care, Kagome. You don't have to put on this act in front of me."
Her slight skip faltering, Kagome stopped and was silent for a moment before looking over her shoulder at her friend and saying, "I know, Sango. It's just that my eyes hurt when I cry, so I'm trying to be happy."
Sango's expression of pity and sympathy was quickly masked by a cheerful one as she continued with her friend on a journey for shards that, hours later, proved to have been journeyed in vain.

"It is fortunate," Kikyou said that evening, "that I was able to cure that little girl this afternoon. How fortunate that her father has such a wonderful residence."
Kagome, who was facing away from Kikyou, made faces as she mimicked her words. Sango noticed this and barely managed to suppress the laughter bubbling in her chest.
"Yes, it was," Inu-Yasha agreed.
Her eyes practically rolling to the back of her head, Kagome snorted and nearly squeezed whatever it was that little fox demons are stuffed with out of Shippou, who was unfortunately reclining in her lap at the moment. Sango's shoulders shook.
"Inu-Yasha, do you suppose it is by fate we are staying in the very village where we first chanced to meet?" Kikyou asked.
Inu-Yasha didn't say anything, but Kagome did.
"Oh, my god! This is like your friggin' anniversary, so I guess we'd better skip our merry way on out of here, so the two of you can enjoy your perfect even-friggin-ing!" she sputtered, grabbing Shippou in her arms and stomping out of the room with him looking forlornly at the grapes he had hoped to eat after a bit of digesting. Sango knew she shouldn't laugh at her poor friend's outburst, but it was funny, so she did. Miroku covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed. Scowling at the door Kagome had exited out of, Kikyou let out a small 'hmph' as Inu-Yasha sulked about his women troubles.
"Kagome?" Shippou said as the said girl fumed through the hallways and out one of the backdoors.
"Yes, Shippou?" she snapped, though she didn't mean to.
Deciding that she hadn't meant to sound mean, Shippou looked up at her and asked, "Are you going to leave us?"
Kagome stopped on the porch and plopped down to sit on the steps that connected with the dirt path that lead to the street. "I don't know," she sighed. "I'm not exactly needed."
Shippou whimpered and buried his face into her shirt. "I need you," he said into the soft fabric.
Kagome heard him and she tightened her arms around his small body. "I need you, too," she realized.
"I can't leave," Kagome decided in her mind. "I don't want to never see Shippou or Miroku or Sango or Kaede again. I- I want to keep seeing Inu- Yasha, too."
"I love you all so much," she said aloud.
Inu-Yasha could still hear everything taking place between the little fox demon and the girl, and he couldn't help but wonder if what her last statement had applied to him.
Parody One
She looked around her to see if anyone was awake and had seen anything, but everyone seemed to be content in his or her dreamlands.
That is, except Miroku.
"What in the world is that on your stomach, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked curiously.
"This?" Kagome asked, gesturing to the colorful words of 'Press Here.' "This is my tattoo. Do you to try it out?"
"Why, yes, I would rather like that."
So he tried it out, and everyone was awoken by odd noises soon after, and they all passed out when they saw the cause.
Parody Two
He was ready for it. The big shout. The big fight. The big scream. The big sit. He braced himself.
But Kagome only closed her mouth and pulled it into a smile. "Woops! Sorry about that, you two. I felt your shards, Kikyou, but I thought they belonged to someone else. Don't mind me, though," she said with a small wave of her hand. Then she quickly scrambled back up the hill, leaving Kikyou and Inu-Yasha to "not mind her."
Inu-Yasha turned his eyes away from the retreating Kagome and asked his beloved, "You have shards?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"In my kimono somewhere, but I seem to have lost them. Do you want to find them for me?"
"No, Kikyou. Didn't you know? I'm gay. I'm just using you to make Miroku jeaous."
"What a coincidence! I'm just using you to make Myouga jealous."
"You like fleas?"
"Well, you like boys!"
Author's Note:
I like this fanfic more and more as I go. Maybe this chapter sounded dumb, but I thought it was funny, and I hope you did, too. I'll update over Christmas break, too, so I'll talk to you then. My mom isn't too happy with me right now, so off I go!!! SHOOM!
