Chapter 8: Advice From a Pervert and Sweet Old Memories....
It was still early morning. Kagome's morning had started out horrible but now it was well- undescribable (sp?) she couldn't find the exact word that could define the feelings pressuring her at the moment. Her emotions were confusing her; each telling her something diffrent. Kagome didn't know how to feel, she was lost in her mind, falling in her own pit created by her emptiness.
But all these feelings were directing her to her destination. She was running, at top speed; down the streets pushing everyone in her way without a care. Kagome was running in the only direction her eyes were focusing on. Guided by only her thoughts and her heart she was on her way to....'him'.
'Where is he?!' she thought desperately. She had to find him...she had to apologize for her need to get into HIS business, into HIS emotions. It was just like how her mother and grandfather would get into HER business....she was doing what she wanted her family to stop doing to her, to him. (Rikku: So confusing, ne? Heh-heh, I hope you understood that.)
InuYasha....her heart was telling her to find him. But why? How did a simple gift make her react this way? Nothing was clear anymore. It would never be....until she was with him again....but...how- why did she feel this way? She didn't understand it....why did he mean so much to her? She knew that she couldn't possibly- he was just too stubborn.....too...too...hung up on the past.
But just then it hit her, just like the feeling of a cement block crashing on someone's head. Well, actually she had never experienced that feeling before, which was a good thing.....but that wasn't the point. (Rikku: Heh-heh...) Kagome slowed down. How did she forget? Well she had a good excuse at least, her feelings for InuYasha had wiped out every other important thing on her mind.....but that wasn't good enough. And she couldn't admit it. All the facts were straight now, it all pointed out to ONE thing...
Sango was going to kill her!!!
Kagome had totally forgotten about her and had fallen asleep without checking up on her friend. Big mistake. But she honestly slept through it all, she would have checked up on Sango if she didn't fall asleep, missing the rest of her party. But Sango wouldn't buy it, she'd say something like, 'You just wanted to check up on that InuYasha guy, it's pretty obvious that he's more important to you that I am.' Kagome would never hear the end of it. And if the non-ending talk would ever finish, well let's just say Kagome would be lucky if she could still move ANY part of her body after Sango's er- minor adjustments. She gulped. She was in for it.
Kagome stopped running. She had been on the run for an hour or so, and that would be how long it would take to get back home. AND now she was lost. It seemed her heart wasn't as smart as it had led Kagome to believe it was. Maybe tossing the subject of finding InuYasha aside had caused her to lose her way, but that was just superstitious.
"What do I do know?!" Kagome whined. There was no way she would go home and tell her family she had just decided to take an hour long run for no reason at all. She had to have a good explaination....
AHA!!
She would go find Sango and apologize to her.
NO!!
That was the worst thing possible for Kagome to do. Especially since Sango would switch to killing mode at the sight of her. And she needed to confront InuYasha. Once again, she was stuck with a tough desicion based on Sango and InuYasha. The two clearly didn't get along....it would be a miracle if they could even talk to one another ever again.
Kagome sighed. 'Shit..' she thought. 'Not again!!'
"Ohayou, Kag baby!!! I never got a chance to say 'sayonara' and whadda ya know, you're right over here!!!"
That was a familiar voice.
A VERY familiar voice.
Uh-oh!
Kagome turned.
It was....
Kouga!!!!!
She squeeled and ran away, with the desperate boy on her tail. She had no where to go....but being with Kouga would be murder!! She couldn't run from him forever....unless....
There it was.
She turned her head to face Kouga, who had narrow-mindedly followed her and smiled. "Heh-heh, Kouga, guess what? It's a shame but this is my stop, dewa mata!!" And with that she opened the always-unlocked door to her only-friend-at-the-moment's house and rushed in, quickly shutting the door in front of Kouga's face and locking it. Kagome was panting, was the loverboy ever fast or what?
After a few deep breaths she studied the house she was in. It was large and had a tint of richness. (Rikku: Richness?) She hadn't been there in a while and wondered why she hadn't thought of coming there before.....oh...right...because it was...
"Oi! Kag-chan!! So good to see you, but it's supposed to be the guy that makes the first move, I'm afraid you have your facts wrong, dearest."
Miroku's house.
And after making that pathetic statement, he purred softly. He was walking down the stairs which laid before the front door. The lecherous boy had a towel around his neck and his regular, casual clothes on.
'Probably hoping to catch a few girls' eyes before groping them....' Kagome thought. 'What a pervert.' She was just about to slap him for what he had said, when she realized that Miroku was only trying to creep her out, sure he had a thing for her...but that was BEFORE. He was over it, and Kagome believed him. Except to HIM, a bit of feeling her up didn't hurt anyone...but himself after a few good whacks.
"Oh, Miroku-sama....(Rikku: Don't ask me why I chose Kagome to call him that, I guess I'm still hung up with the whole feudal thing....heh) you are just the creepiest thing ever, aren't you?" Kagome said with a know-it-all tone.
"If you mean creepy as in the sexiest guy around...then yeah." (Rikku: *Blushes* Heh-heh, soo sekushii!!)
What other kind of answer would you expect from such a lecher. Typical.
Kagome twitched in fury. But then she sighed, there was nothing she could do to save the poor boy, it wasn't his fault....it was his even creepier stepfather that had given him all the pointers....dirty old man. (Rikku: *Sobs* Yes!! Very, very dirty old man!!!)
She approached him when he was finally down the stairs, making an effort to keep herself out of reaching distance and lowered her head, studying the floor. She wanted to spill out all her emotions,- except the ones about InuYasha of course, she'd keep those to herself for awhile- and tell him about all the tough situations she was put into....even though she'd hate to admit it.....she needed his advice.
*******
"So...that's why you were so worried?" Miroku asked.
Kagome had told him everything- about her situation with Sango's on coming kill thrill, having Kouga on her back, her grandfather's sudden obsession with her being with Houjo and....InuYasha's gift. And then it was the hard part.... asking Miroku for advice without looking depserate...
"Hai...so, it's been obvious?" she asked stupidly. She couldn't rush into the question too quickly....'Step by step..' she thought.
"Well...to me at least, but the others-well, they're way too dim witted to have noticed...." Miroku replied, reassuring Kagome. "Well what do you suggest you do?"
"Shiri-masen...(Rikku: which means 'I don't know', no seriously, I DO know, I mean that 'Shiri-masen' means 'I don't know' heh-heh, sorry for the confusion.) I was hoping that...."
"That I could give you advice?" he said with a smirk.
"Hai..."
"Oh, Kagome-chan dear, don't be shy; why would I turned you down when you are in such a desperate state?"
Kagome huffed. Crap, this was going bad. She needed the advice but she didn't need the conceided boy to think she was DESPERATE for it. Well, Miroku always had good advice, he was as wise as a....a monk. (Rikku: Couldn't resist....heh-heh, sekushii monk!!)
"Miroku-sama, I'm not desperate! I ju-'"
"Well you sure do look it."
Maybe Kagome didn't need Miroku's 'advice'. Well that was what she thought at the moment, so turning on her heel, she made her way to the door turning the doorknob, but just then....
"Oi!! Don't leave, I didn't mean it!" Miroku shouted. Kagome could hear his footsteps, he was coming toward her and....
..:::Silence:::..
"Miroku-sama...."
"Hai, Kagome-chan?"
"Get your hands off of meh!!!"
It was the worse position ever for Kagome, well second compared to the one she was in with Kouga the other day. (Rikku: Eeww...positions...er- don't think of it in THAT way....X.x) Miroku was standing right behind her, with one of his hands on her shoulder and the other one placed on her ass. Oh boy, he REALLY didn't know how to control that hand of his.
She turned her head slowly- like one of those mad killers from a freaky horror movie- and gave Miroku a COLD glare.
~WHACK!!~
Miroku laid on the floor, cripling and barely breathing, Kagome sighed. 'Well that was a LOT of help...' she thought sarcastically. But just as she laid her hand on the doorknob, a voice came from the lifeless corpse.
"Wait, Kagome-chan..... gomen nasai.... it's just that...."
Kagome turned her head and narrowed her eyes, eyeing her 'friend'. "Hai?"
"If you really want to fix things up just tell everyone the truth. Tell Sango that you really like InuY-"
Kagome blushed furiously. "Nani? I said no such thing!!"
Miroku chuckled. "You didn't have too, it's written all over your face Kagome-chan.... heh, you're turning red..."
"But...I-"
"Kag-chan.... your feelings are simple... you're afraid of the truth and letting others find out about it...." he looked at Kagome tensely, his lip was cut and it looked as if he couldn't move any part of his body.
Kagome didn't feel bad though, well actually a little; he was giving her the advice she needed and he was right about everything, but to Kagome, that was showing Miroku a sign of weakness. And just when she opened her mouth to protest, he stopped her.
"Lemme talk... before I pass out, I mean.... Tell Sango about your feelings toward the guy...." he repeated. "tell Kouga that you don't like him that way; even though the baka might now understand the first time, try to get it through his skull.....and your gramps...heh, the crazy old man might want to play matchmaker and I guess there's nothing you can do about that unless.... unless you tell him- loud and clear- that you don't need him nor Houjo. And InuYasha.... well, the guy deserves to know, don't ya think? I mean he probably feels the same way and-"
"But I don't like him that way!! I just feel bad that I had to force the truth outta him, thinking that he didn't care.... when he actually DID..."
"Whatever.... Just tell him you're sorry then....heh, I'd be easier if you just tell the guy you're madly in love with him or something..."
~CRASH~
Kagome stormed out of the house, leaving a practically dead Miroku laying lifelessly on the floor with a broken vase beside his head.
"WHAT AN INCONSIDERATE, THICK-HEADED, PEVERTED..... BASTARD!!!!" she hollered, walking down the streets.
A little boy- which looked around the age of 5- walking by his mom, shrieked and cowered behind his mother's legs, while the woman muttered, "Why I never!!"
Kagome ignored the woman and made her way home, she had had enough with her friends, enemies and crazy stalkers. But she couldn't help but think that Miroku's advice had helped.... but only just a little. "Maybe he's right about the truth...maybe Sango will understand.... maybe Kouga and my grandfather will get off my back and... maybe I do have feelings for- nah!! All that couldn't possibly happen....but perhaps the 'monk' was right about me.... being afraid of the truth, that is...."
********
After answering all of her worried mother's questions Kagome quickly had lunch (alone) and entered her room. She checked her clock, it was only 1:30....she had nothing to do. She plopped down on her bed and squeezed her hand under her mattress, where she hid her diary.
Kagome looked through the pages, it had been 2 months since she had last wrote in it, she was too busy with her homework to write another entry ever since. (Rikku: Heh-heh, that's my excuse.)
"September 21st..." she started to read aloud the last entry she had written, but not loud enough for anyone in the house besides her to hear. "Dear Diary, School sux!! I can't stand it.... the homework is harder than ever, Sango and Miroku have been at it again and nothing exciting is ever happening! I used to think that a fire drill that interupted math tests were fun, but now there's been more drills than ever and it's just getting annoying. I almost miss the old times, I mean with my father.... I still wonder what happened to him and if he's okay.... but if he really did... die... then at least I know he's in a better place now, I mean, It didn't seem as if he was very happy with us, mother and him would always fight.... maybe he- oh nevermind..." Kagome froze, she had forgotten about how she could express her feelings in just simple words, she sighed. Most of the memories of her father were unpleasant...... she continued reading. "I kinda miss him, but everything's all right now...I guess. Today at school, this guy name Houjo was picked as my lab partner, all the girls are envious but I think that this guy is nothing but a joke." Kagome chuckled. "True, he's cute but he's also clueless! I mean I've never met anyone as clumsy as him, oh well...."
She flipped through the pages and landed on the first entry she had written...one year back. When everything would usually be okay, she wasn't bored of life or anything at that time and she still had her father then.....
"February 14th, Valentine's Day..." Kagome read the date over again, 'Wow....' she thought. 'Valentine's Day.... that used to be my favourite day, after my birthday of course.' But both of those days had been ruined for her.... the day she had written the entry was one of the worse days ever. She read more, "Dear Diary, Today is the worse day of my life!! I can't believe it... I never thought that... Well, today the school held a dance, and for the first time EVER, a boy asked me to dance with him!! He was kinda cute, but not the cuttest.... but still, I was so happy! His name was Bankotsu, (Rikku: Heh-heh.... for those who have seen episodes further than 100 than you know who I'm talking about...) everyone told me he liked me before, and when I had first heard the news I was shocked. But I guess it was true when we danced. He wasn't really my type, I knew nothing could happen between us but I was satisfied. But after we departed I spotted him again, in the halls. Only he was with another girl. He was plainly flirting with her.... I was speechless.... This is the worse Valentine's Day ever!!"
Kagome smirked. She was such a pest back then. So into guys.... heh, who would have guessed she'd turned out uninterested in them.... all of them except for one.....
Bankotsu was a jerk and she had regretted dancing with him ever since, all the girls had a turn with him and they too, had also regretted it, but heh, who wouldn't?
'Sweet old memories....' Kagome thought. She hesitated to put the book away without writing in it. "Oh well.... maybe next time." she told herself. And just then, she slowly drifted off to sleep....

Rikku: Heh-heh chapter done, only now I gotta 9! *Sigh* don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this but at this rate, well let's just say it'll take more than awhile to finish this..... but please review! Heck with it, I'm dying for inspiration, so flames allowed!!! Thanks for reading too!!!
P.S. I just learned a whole bunch of new japanese words and phrases, so try and keep up! ^.~
