YO! Shu Shu here!! Yeah, wanna know a secret? Me too!! Yes, I sure would like to learn a secret… but no one loves me enough to tell me his or her secrets. ;.; Oh well! I'll try very, very hard to regulate my updates. I was very mad at myself because my last update took so long. Also, the website I gave you when I first started… the G.A.P.A one; I don't think that will be updating anytime soon… or ever. You see there were creative differences among other things two of our members had with another. It's very sad. I'm the middleman so I'm not on anyone's side but I also haven't heard the entire story yet ((SEE! NO ONE TELLS ME ANYTHING!! I'M SO UNLOVED!))
And with that said, on with the sickness
Love Sick
Chapter 6
Miroku smiled.
"WHAT!?" yelled the three others.
Miroku looked between Kagome and Inuyasha sternly, "Now, now you two! You guys have been seeing each other for a while now, how long are you planning on keeping it a secret?"
Kagome and Inuyasha gawked at Miroku, not really knowing what to do. On the one hand, if they did go along with this little shraide ((a/n; spelling?)) then it would probably get rid of Kouga. But… on the other hand….
"Your right Miroku, we shouldn't have kept it a secret for so long," Inuyasha strode across the lawn and removed Kagome's hand from Kouga's but not letting her hand go, "Kagome is MY girlfriend."
Kouga glared back and stepped away from the two, disbelief apparent in his eyes, "I don't believe…"
"Will you believe her" Inuyasha interrupted, pulling Kagome in front of him and putting his arms around her, "Tell him Kagome…" he asked softly.
Kagome's face was literally radiating heat. She was so embarrassed she thought she was going to faint. Ooh Miroku! You just wait till I get you alone in a dark ally way!! I'm gonna cut off your hands so you can never touch another butt again!! Just then she noticed then that there was something soft and warm pressed against her cheek. A second later she realized it was Inuyasha's lips. He withdrew slowly, with his face as red as hers, which gave Kagome a small bit of comfort.
"Tell him," he whispered almost pleadingly.
Kagome looked back to Kouga and hesitantly nodded.
Kouga's eyes clouded over with rage, "You should have just told me Kagome! Instead of letting me make a fool out of myself!"
"She didn't need to tell you to help that!" Inuyasha spat back.
Kouga growled and left.
Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief and dropped his arms from their embrace around Kagome, "Miroku…"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kagome cut and tackled Miroku, beating his face repeatedly with her fists.
"Whoa!" Inuyasha caught Kagome by her elbows and hoisted her off Miroku, "Why are you going nuts?! It's not that bad is i--"
"KOUGA'S GOING TO TELL EVERYONE WE'RE GOING OUT NOW!!" Kagome wailed.
Inuyasha blinked. He hadn't thought of that and even though it was summer news still got around fast. "Miroku…" Inuyasha started menacingly as he cracked his knuckles.
"Now hand on!" Miroku said putting his hands up defensively, "Look all you have to do is act like your going out for a week or two and then your guys can 'break up.' No one has to know anything!" he looked at Inuyasha then Kagome then back at Inuyasha again, "Well? Sound like a plan?"
"I suppose…" Kagome said slowly, "it's the only choice we have." She looked up at Inuyasha.
"Okay then," he said nodding. Miroku looked thoroughly relived
^-^
The time was 7:00 when Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome started watching Ringu in Inuyasha's living room ((a/n; I WANNA SEE THAT!!)). Miroku and Sango were sitting on the couch behind Inuyasha and Kagome, who were sitting on the floor. The couch was rather small so the only way for them both to be comfortable was if Miroku put his arm around Sango, who wasn't too thrilled by this information. For the first half hour of the movie she would cry out unexpectedly which would be followed by the sound of a slap and a soft "itai~!" But eventually Miroku stopped trying to grope Sango and they both concentrated on the movie… or so it seemed.
Inuyasha was sitting cross-legged but leaning backwards so his arms supported most of his weight and Kagome was sitting with her knees brought up to her bosom hugging them tightly. He glanced over at her. Her eyes were wide with a mixture of fear and fascination. She reached down between them and grabbed a hand full of popcorn and shoved it into her mouth, not taking her eyes off the screen.
Inuyasha smiled, she was so cute! He knew he would die if anyone heard him thinking things like that but it wasn't like he was declaring his love for her or anything. The only love he felt for Kagome was the kind you might give a sister. Inuyasha continued studying her for a while then he heard it. The heavy breathing. The harsh sighs. The unmistakable sounds of two people making out. To make it worse, the sounds were coming from right behind him and Kagome, which could only mean one thing. Miroku and Sango were trying to suck each other's faces off… ON HIS COUCH!!
Inuyasha turned his eyes back to the movie hoping the blood curtailing screams would drowned out his friend's attempt to impregnate Sango through her mouth. He felt Kagome shift uncomfortably nest to him. Apparently she heard them too. Inuyasha glanced sideways at her. She looked extremely uneasy and frowned when he saw her raise her hand to rub the cheek Inuyasha had kissed earlier, as if trying to remove it. Why's she doing that? It wasn't like he had taken away her cheek virginity. Kouga had done that. He felt his blood start to flame under his skin. She hadn't rubbed Kouga's kiss away, or at lease not to his knowledge.
The phone rang.
Kagome and Inuyasha jumped while Sango and Miroku jumped away from each other.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome who looked back at him, then he looked at Miroku who was looking quite rumpled and grinned.
"Having fun back there, you two?" he asked innocently.
Miroku grinned and Sango blushed, throwing a cushion at Inuyasha as he rose to get the phone. Inuyasha threw it back at her then walked into the kitchen.
Kagome looked back at her friend who was blushing furiously, "Kagome, come here," Sango mumbled, grabbing Kagome's hand and both lifting her off the floor and dragging her to the downstairs guest room. Truth be told, Kagome never thought of this room as a guest room. She thought of it as her own. This was the room she had always used at Inuyasha's house when her mother was away on business or just when she felt like spending the night. In here she had her own supply of clothes, feminine products and school supplies. She loved it.
"Kagome," Sango said sitting on the twin be Kagome used.
"Yeah?"
"Miroku's a really good kisser!" she sighed allowing herself to flop down on the bed, a goofy smile plastered to her.
"That's all you wanted to tell me?!" Kagome asked half exasperated half enviously.
"Nope!" Sango said sitting up again.
"Well what?" Kagome asked bouncing on her heel, "I wanna get back and watch the rest of the movie."
Sango smiled, brazenly, "Kagome, I only agreed to come to this date for one reason. Just because I may be changing my mind about Miroku doesn't mean that you're backing out on your end of the deal."
Kagome's heart gave an involuntary bound. She had forgotten about that… or rather, she had hoped Sango had forgotten. There deal. Why did she agree to something like that!?
Sango's smile widened, "you do remember the … conditions of this deal, don't you?"
"Yeah, yeah," said Kagome, trying to sound like it was a waste of time and that it wasn't bothering her. Unfortunately her subconscious chose that moment to become embarrassed and she blushed hard.
"Aww!! Little Kome-chan's BLUSHING!!! WAI, WAI!!"
^-^
Inuyasha walked back in the living room. Miroku was sitting by himself on the couch, his arms lying on the back of it.
He looked around, "where's Kagome?"
Miroku pointed to Kagome's room, "In there with Sango." He smirked, "wanna eve's drop?"
Inuyasha grinned, "Sure."
Inuyasha and Miroku creped to the door. Both of them got on their stomachs and put and ear to the crack under the door.
"Aww!! Little Kome-chan's BLUSHING!! WAI, WAI!!" Sango's laughing voice cried, floating under the door.
"SHUT UP!" Kagome's wail followed.
"Ooh why are you being like this?" Sango asked scornfully, "You know you want to!"
"What are you talking about? I'm acting like this because kissing him would be like kissing my brother!"
Inuyasha froze. That "him" could only be one of two people and since Sesshomaru didn't live there that left only one choice. He heard Miroku snicker.
"So why are you blushing?" Sango asked coolly.
Kagome gave no answer.
"Uh huh…"
"I'm blushing because you want to watch!"
"So?"
"So! I don't want you to watch!!"
"Ooh? Wanna do it in private eh?"
"NO! It's just… I don't know… this whole thing with Kouga…"
"What thing with Kouga?"
Inuyasha, ignoring Miroku who was shaking with silent laughter, concentrated on Kagome's voice.
"Well, you know how I told you that Kouga's been following me around lately?"
"I thought you talked to Inuyasha about that."
"I was going to but something happened and we ended up not speaking to each other for awhile."
It was only a few days…Inuyasha growled to himself, feeling a pang of guilt again for making Kagome sleep in her closet.
"Ooh okay. So anyways…" Sango prompted
"Ooh right," Kagome said resuming her story, "it started to get way out of hand."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he started to follow me home. He would walk about a block behind me thinking I didn't notice. So I would have to duck into stores and wait until I thought he's given up. If he was still out there I would take the long way home and try to lose him in the forest."
They heard Sango sigh, "Kagome I really think you should tell Inuyasha about it."
"I don't know," Kagome sighed, "Inuyasha would probably get mad at me for not telling him right away and then go out to mame Kouga… which he'll get in trouble for. Then he'll blame it on me and-"
"Alright!" Sango interrupted impatiently, "go on."
"Well, Miroku told Kouga that me and Inuyasha were… a couple this after noon and—"
"Well then what's your problem?" Sango asked confused, "the deal was if I go out on a date with Miroku you'd kiss Inuyasha. Now that you guys are going out it shouldn't be a problem."
Miroku stopped laughing.
"But were not going out. It just an act!" Kagome clarified, "if I kiss him now he'll probably think… don't you think the guys are wondering where we are?"
There were footsteps and then the door opened.
Inuyasha looked up quickly and was met with eh startled expression on Kagome's face. It didn't stay startled for very long.
"How… long have you two been there?" she asked steadily, trying to calm the rage that had come over her.
"We-"
"Just started listening," Inuyasha lied, interrupting Miroku, "we didn't even hear anything, really."
Miroku looked at Inuyasha in surprise, then looked up at Kagome and nodded.
And instant relief washed over Kagome's face but misgiving soon followed it.
"Really!" Inuyasha said defensively as he got off the floor.
"Ooh wow!" everyone looked at Sango in surprise. She was looking at her watch in disbelief, "is that really what time it is?!" Inuyasha looked at the clock on the mantle. It was still pretty early, only about 9:30, "I told my mom I'd be home at 8:30! She's gonna kill me!"
Before thinking the words, "I'll drive you!" tumbled out of Miroku's mouth so fast they were hardly distinguishable. Sango got the gist though.
She smiled graciously and said "Thank you." Then she turned to Kagome and stared pointedly, waiting. Kagome didn't move. Sango jerked her head towards Inuyasha, who looked at Miroku, pleading with his eyes for some kind of help. Miroku's only help was to jerk his head at Kagome, only much less noticeable than Sango. Inuyasha shook his head.
"Say Inuyasha…" Miroku said still looking at Inuyasha only now dawning a crooked smile, "maybe you should give Kagome a practice kiss so we can tell you if it looks convincing or not," he turned to Sango, "we have to pretend they're going out for a few weeks, I'm sure Kagome will tell you the rest later."
"Ooh really," Sango said who's smile was just as crooked as the man's next to her but with a triumphant gleam in her eye, "yeah, why don't you guys have a practice kiss?"
"It's not like were gonna nee-"
"Okay," Inuyasha said interrupting Kagome. He snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her to him, "if it's okay with you."
A/n; blar! I don't like this chapter!!! I'm pretty sure I won't like the next one either because they're like the typical inu/kome romance .. you know what I mean. I like it when Kouga comes back in. yay.
Anyhoo I'll start on the next chapter right now!
Love and other indoors sports,
Shu-Shu chan!!
