Chapter 2



Sango slowly opened the door. She was still unsure if she should join the school newspaper, but she knew she had to get her revenge on that treacherous Kagome.



"Hi, do you want to join the newspaper staff?" asked the polite girl in who was apparantly the editor. 'Too late to change my mind,' Sango thought.

"Yeah, I do." Sango trailed off.

"Great! Unfortunately, we only have a few spots on the staff left. Is the gossip column ok?" The editor asked.

"Perfect." There was a devious smile on her face, as if she were planning something (BIG hint).

~~

"Here's a little something I bet you didn't know! This concerns Kagome and Miroku. From what I hear, Kagome's had a tremendous crush on our favorite pervert! That's right. I guess you'll have a little competition, Kagome-chan! I'd give you a list, but I only have so much space, you know. Other gossip I've heard..."

Kagome read aloud, blushing fiercely. She couldn't believe that Sango would stoop so low as to exploit her deepest secret in the school paper. Inu-Yasha tried to soothe her by saying "Don't worry, no one ever reads the gossip column." Two minutes later, Kagome ran into the girls' bathroom, crying while Inu-Yasha took care of the cruel girls who were teasing her (I know that seems really elementary school, but it was all I could think of).

"Inu-Yasha, thanks for being there for me. I think Sango was right for once! Miroku is a pervert. I wish I could change how I feel."

~~

Inu-Yasha was turning red as Kagome rested her head on his shoulder. His shirt was stained with tears. He wished there were something more he could do. He wished she didn't like Miroku. Inu-Yasha hugged her tightly and reassured her that "...gossip comes and goes, but friends are always there."

~~

Sango was amazed at how the plan had worked. She had humiliated Kagome and Inu-Yasha was hers for the taking. All of a sudden, she stopped dead in her tracks. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. 'Inu-Yasha and Kagome hugging? I thought my plan had worked!' Her mind raced. 'What happened?' She would've fainted on the spot if her anger hadn't kept her conscious. She had to know what went wrong! 'I can't believe how stupid I am! Inu-Yasha and Kagome have always been close and I just brought them closer together. Inu-Yasha probably hates me now!' Sango ran home crying at that last thought. She didn't stop until she was in her room with the pillow pressed against her face. 'Why couldn't I get my revenge without losing Inu-Yasha? If only I could forget Inu-Yasha and find a new crush.'

~~

Miroku stood bewildered that Kagome liked him. After all, most girls hated him (his perversion). 'But I can't butt into Inu-Yasha's relationship with her. Even I know what's going on between them. I don't believe I'm giving up a girl who adores me, just because of a friend!' Miroku thought. He was (obviously) upset about the current predicament. 'Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Although I've never won any...'
