Disclaimer: No, I didn't create Inu-Yasha. R. T created it. I'm broke so I can't even buy it from her.

Chapter 3

"Ok. Inu-Yasha's out of you're reach, Sango, but there are plenty of other guys out there!" Sango said to herself. "Well, there's Miroku (the first thought in her head; another big hint), wait, why did I think of him? He's such a pervert!" 'But he is really cute,' a small voice in her mind told her. "Shut up! She exclaimed, before she realized she was arguing with herself.

"Ok. You're not going crazy; you're just acting a little weird. Why would I like Miroku? Or even think about it? Maybe I'm just thinking about Kagome's crush on him." She tried to calm herself down, but that annoying voice was still controlling her thoughts. 'You know you might like him, maybe for the same reason as Kagome. Even if the guy's a pervert, he's really cute and nice.' Sango was getting pretty angry with herself. She wondered why the heck Miroku was the first person in her mind if she didn't like him. Did she like him? Sango was so confused that she decided that the best thing to do was sleep and worry about this later.

~~

"How could Sango be so bitter?" Kagome said with such sorrow. Inu- Yasha knew that Kagome wanted Sango to be her friend again, but didn't want it to be known. He felt sympathetic for her, but couldn't do anything about it. He only wished that she liked him back.

~~

Kagome sighed. Those people were right. A good cry really does help! She just wished that she could get over Miroku and like some one like Inu- Yasha instead, but it's not the kind of thing that you can turn on and off. She swayed on the swing in the park near her house. Why was she destined for pain? First, Sango had hated her just because she accidentally spilled a secret, and now everyone in the school knew how she felt about Miroku! 'Maybe if I concentrate on his bad points, I can get over him!' Slowly, Kagome began to form a plan to try to get over Miroku. Of course, she still wanted to be his friend. After all, they've known each other since the 2nd grade!

~~

Flashback "Kagome, Miroku, and Sango: the best friends of all time." Inu-Yasha said to his mom. "I think that Kagome is starting to like me, Mommy! I hope so. she is always going to be my #1 girl!"

Inu-Yasha remembered saying this to his mother, years ago. He was only 10, 11? He thought it was amazing that he'd liked her for so long! All that time, she had him liked for only a few months before she began liking Miroku. Because of this, he had been living in a pool of sorrow for the past 3 years. Maybe now there was a slight chance of hope that she would start liking him again!

~~

Miroku thought long and hard about how to tell Kagome how he felt about this. He didn't want her to be angry with him. They had been friends for so long. He missed the old days when they (Sango, Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and him) would play tag with each other. Eventually, he would pin down Sango. 'Ah, those were the days; I could touch women without being called a pervert.'

Flashback "Miroku-kun! Get off of me!" 8-year old Sango cried.

"Only if you give me a kiss, Sango-chan!" He replied. Sango's cheeks were turning scarlet. Miroku knew that the vigorous girl would turn him down, but to his surprise, she gave him a small peck on the lips.

"That's only because I had to." She said. She took advantage of the shock she put Miroku into, and escaped.

~~

Sango thought back to her first kiss (which is the flashback you just read) and wondered why she had done that. She knew that she could easily flee from him, but she still kissed him. Miroku was her first crush, and her first kiss, too. She couldn't forget that. 'You see in him now, what you saw then, don't you?' the voice came back. She hated to admit it, but that absurd voice might have been right.

A/N: So, what do you think? Maybe this is turning into another one of those annoying fics with a happy ending, but I like those, ok? If you read my first fanfic, Vanished (please read), you would know that. I hope to upload the 4th chapter soon. Bye! *Sarah*
