Stupid Cupid

Chapter 3: THE END

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that I don't own anything, so will you stop rubbing it in already?

A/N: This is the last chapter, and doesn't really have much to do with anything, but I think that it's... yeah. Whatever.

As Kagome jumped through well, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo began to walk away.

"Hey, Inuyasha. Let's go." Miroku called.

"Yeah, yeah." he said and followed along. They were all quiet for a while, thinking about what had happened and what was going to happen next. Kagome wasn't going to be back for at least two days, that was for sure, and they didn't have any leads on another Shard.

"So, Inuyasha, where are we heading?" Sango asked.

"Huh?"

"Where are we going?" she repeated.

"I dunno."

"Miroku? What's wrong with him?"

"He's really spaced out."

"Just because I'm not paying any attention doesn't mean that I'm deaf!" The hanyou yelped.

"So. Are you paying attention now?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, what do you want?"

"Well, where are we going now?"

"I don't care. There's a river not to far from here. We can spend some time there until I find out about another Shard, or Kagome comes back and detects one."

Miroku shook his head. "Dude, she's not coming back."

"I know that, your moron." Inuyasha said and was ready to throw something at the monk, but had nothing within his grasp. "I meant later." he grumbled under his breath.

"Okay. Inuyasha, would you calm down, and Miroku, behave." Sango tried to restore order.

"Yeah, Inuyasha," Shippo squealed. "She's not coming back for a while. So, what are you going to do about it? Are you going after her? Huh? Or are you gonna stay here and wait for another Shard to come find you?" Shippo was testing faith, running around their legs.

"You know what, twerp? I think that that is the best idea you've ever had." He smirked at Shippo.

"No, Inuyasha, don't." Sango pleaded. "She doesn't want you there. Its not like she asked you to follow her, is it?"

"Well, no..." he mumbled. "But "

Miroku cut him off. "But since when has that stopped him at anything?"

This time Inuyasha did hit him, causing the monk to lose his footing and trip.

"Inuyasha!" Shippo wailed.

"What?" He growled.

Fake tears welled up in his eyes.

"Oh, will you stop it, its not like I hit you or anything."

The day continued on like that, Inuyasha snapping at everyone and everything, and Miroku egging him on. Finally, though, that night, Miroku, Sango and Shippo went to sleep, and Inuyasha was alone. He headed back to the well, just to think. But, after sitting on the wooden frame for a few minutes, he decided to go through.

He quickly ran to Kagome's house, and sat in the tree outside her window. He looked in, but couldn't see her inside. Discouraged, he was ready to turn around and go back, when a figure burst into the girl's room and flung itself on her bed. Upon closer inspection, the figure was Kagome herself, and she was doing, nothing other than, crying. He ran around the house and through the structure into her room, waiting at the door.

"Kagome?" He called.

She didn't respond.

"Kagome?" He whispered a little louder.

Still, she didn't respond.

"Kagome!" he yelled.

"Oh, what do you want? Can't you see that I'm in the middle of a crisis right now and I can't go back with you?"

He walked into her room and sat on her bed. She sat up and leaned against him, spilling the story of her horrid day.

"Well, I went to school this morning, and everyone was so excited because it's Valentines Day. In my first class, we were handing out flowers and candy hearts. Houjo was going to give me one, but then Ayami was determined to give one to Houjo before he gave me one. So, she ran to him, and she tripped over someone's backpack. She fell on top of him, causing both of them to fall right into the window. The classroom is on the second floor, and the windows were open because the heat was stuck on and it was burning hot in there. So, they both ended up falling right onto the covered pool. They weren't that lucky though. The pool cover ripped and they fell to the bottom of the empty pool. Ayami is fine, but Houjo is in the hospital. She spent the whole day there, and has convinced him that he is in love with her, so when I went to visit, she got mad at me, and he was being very mean."

"Well, Kagome. It sounds like you had a terrible Valentines Day?"

"Yeah." She sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have come back. At least then Houjo wouldn't be in the hospital."

"Yeah, but then you would have had to have suffered through another day with Miroku."

She laughed and wiped away a lingering tear. "Thanks for coming."

"No problem" he said, "I needed to get away from the pervert and that annoying little rat."

"Hey! That 'annoying little rat' isn't even a rat. He's a fox demon, and, he's mine."

"Sure, sure. So, are you coming back in the morning?"

"Yeah. Hey, do you want to stay til morning? I mean, it's already like one o'clock."

"Okay," he said, and she lay back down resting for the last few hours before dawn.
