Ooops! Sorry, you guys. I didn't get a chance to update yesterday. A lot of things have been going on, with the testing starting already. Heh, but finally I have the time to write up some chapters. Okee dokee, well here it goes!
=====================================================
Chapter 17
"So what exactly is going on between you and my brother?" Sango asked she dribbled the basketball
It was the day before the club opening and her and Kagome went to the park. Kagome sat on a bench next to the basketball court, and Sango began shooting hoops.
"I don't know...it's weird." Kagome shrugged as she played with a twig.
"How so weird?" Sango asked as she shot a hoop.
"You promise you won't laugh or anything?" Kagome pointed the stick at Sango. She nodded.
"Okay.. Well, it's like this...whenever I'm with Inuyasha...my heart starts pounding. I don't even know how to explain it...it's just that whenever we're together at some place...he makes me feel as if.."
"...We're the only ones there.." Kagome said, but shocked as she heard a second voice say the same words. She looked up and saw Sango sighing.
"What's the matter?" Kagome asked.
Sango held the basketball and sat on the bench facing Kagome.
"You see...I know how you feel..." Sango looked down. Kagome gasped.
"Miroku?" she whispered.
Sango nodded. Kagome moved her head back in shock.
"I don't know..it's like how you feel. The heart pounding...the feeling...it's just all so different. This time I don't think it's just a crush...but I'm scared to admit that it's anything else.."
Kagome placed her hand on Sango's shoulder. Sango looked at Kagome.
"Don't be scared, Sango...even if it is...love...you shouldn't be scared. Just make sure that you trust the person that you love with your heart." Kagome smiled.
"Thank you, Kagome...I have yet another question to ask of you though.." Sango said as she looked away.
"What is it, Sango?"
"Do you trust Inuyasha with you heart?"
=============================================================
"I don't see why you needed me to come here with you, Inuyasha. You should've just brought Sango with you." Miroku sighed with exasperation as Inuyasha searched the racks for a nice shirt.
"She's out with Kagome somewhere, and if I were to ask Sango to help me buy something new for this stupid opening, she'd make fun of me for all eternity." Inuyasha grunted as he searched and searched for the perfect shirt.
"Why do you have to buy something new anyway? And why have you picked to buy it the day BEFORE the opening?" Miroku taunted.
"Because, Miroku...I've been busy, got it?! End of conversation. Now, help me find a shirt!" Inuyasha grunted.
"Okay.. Okay..okay.." Miroku gave in and looked for a shirt.
Sometimes, guys aren't the best shoppers...even for themselves. The two spent hours and hours thinking of a shirt that would look good.
"This?" Miroku asked as he held up a purple and black striped shirt.
"Uhh. No." Inuyasha said as he looked at the shirt with distaste.
"This isn't so bad.." Inuyasha nodded as he took out navy blue shirt. The front was dark navy blue, it was almost perfect.
"Eh-hem...might want to check out the back, Inuyasha.." Miroku held back his laughter.
"Huh? What?" Inuyasha turned the shirt around. The shirt had a picture of 'The Beauty and the Best'.
"Oh, ha-ha. Very funny, Miroku." Inuyasha grunted as he stuffed the shirt back onto the racks.
Finally, after hours and hours of searching, the two agreed on a shirt. It was red with black and white spots. The spots looked like splashes of paint, and on the front of the shirt there was black and white graffiti words.
"Pretty nice choice, Inuyasha." Miroku admitted as he nodded his head at the shirt.
"Yeah...I guess so." he shrugged and walked to the cashier.
"So how are things with Kagome?" Miroku nudged Inuyasha. Inuyasha shoved Miroku aside.
"Like it's any of your business...but we're doing okay. Got a problem?"
"Not at all...any feelings for her develop?"
"What's it to you, Miroku?"
"Nothing. What? I can't know if my best friend has sudden love interest in my cousin?"
"LOVE INTEREST?! Don't make me laugh! I wouldn't have any interest in her even if she was the last girl on Earth!" Inuyasha yelled.
Miroku was stunned at his response, but still wasn't convinced that he was telling the truth.
"You're right...what would anyone see in my cousin? How would anyone be able to tolerate her?" Miroku turned his back at Inuyasha and hoped that he wouldn't catch his plan of reverse psychology.
"What's that suppose to mean, huh?! Are you saying that Kagome isn't good enough for anyone? You better get your head together then, Miroku. Because it's the other way around! Nobody is good enough for her! She's smart, beautiful, funny, fun, sweet..." Inuyasha's voice trailed off. He stopped talking and stared off into space for a couple of minutes.
He then looked at Miroku and growled.
'Damn! I fell for that psychology!!' Inuyasha thought stupidly to himself.
His eyes narrowed and Miroku.
"I hate you."
"Hey! Not my fault you hide your feelings. I won't tell though." Miroku laughed as he backed away form Inuyasha.
Inuyasha raised a fist, but then was interrupted by the cashier.
"Next in line."
"You're lucky, Miroku!" Inuyasha called as he began to pay for his shirt.
Miroku sighed with relief as he laughed.
'Just one more day..'
=================================================================
"So are you going to tell Miroku?" Kagome asked as she tried to dribble the basketball with two hands.
"I don't know...even if I were to.. I wouldn't have a clue how to say it..'oh hey, Miroku! I love you!'" Sango laughed.
"Just wait for the right moment...it'll probably come." Kagome shrugged. As she handed the ball to Sango.
"I guess you're right...trust him with my heart...trust him with my heart." Sango chanted as she shot the ball into the hoop.
"You know...ever since I've been here, you've been nothing but nice to me. You've become one of my new best friends, Sango!" Kagome laughed as she smiled. Sango smiled back.
Sango opened her mouth to reply, but closed it and became hesitant. She looked at Kagome and smiled back at her again.
"And you've become one of mine too, Kagome.." Sango passed the ball to her. Kagome began to dribble it with one hand, but was shaky.
"So what have you been doing these couple of days?" Sango asked Kagome. Kagome lost concentration on dribbling and the ball swooped away from her.
"Uhhm, days? Oh, nothing...you know...just...nothing." Kagome said nervously as she thought about Inuyasha.
"Really? Miroku says that you've been going out a lot.." Sango eyed suspiciously.
"Oh? Well.. I don't know.." Kagome turned her back towards Sango.
"Okay.. I admit. I think that you and Inuyasha have been having secret get-togethers." Sango said.
Kagome turned around and forced a smile in her uneasiness.
"Uhh.."
"So it's true?" Sango assumed.
"No! Err, yes. But it's not what you think!"
"Don't worry about it, you don't have to try to cover it up." Sango shrugged.
Kagome sighed and found that it was no use to try to tell her that she had been teaching Inuyasha to dance.
"I guess you could call them get-togethers. That's all though. Nothing more." Kagome assured as she nodded.
Sango rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Whatever you say, Kagome. That's why your heart always pounds right? It's far more than a get-together and you know it." she winked at her. Kagome blushed.
"I guess...we just got to know each other better...and...—" Kagome was cut off as a man's voice called out.
"Hey Sango!" a tall, muscular boy with a long black pony tail approached them. He was accompanied by a short little boy with light brown hair.
"Hi, Kouga. Hello, Shippou. This is my friend, Kagome." Sango smiled. Kagome waved at the two.
Kouga stared at Kagome with compassion.
"Uhhm..hello?" Kagome waved in his face. He shook his head and grabbed her hands gently.
"Kagome...I love you." he said slowly.
Both Kagome and Sango's eyes widened with shock.
"Err...thank you? I'm sorry though...but I'm sort of...seeing someone..well, not really..but...you see...I have my eye on this one particular person right now.." she said uncomfortably as she inched her hands out of his and stood next to Sango.
"Please excuse him, Miss Kagome. Kouga's a bit...sentimental?" Shippou said as he smiled at Kagome.
"I can see that for sure." Kagome laughed. Sango gestured for them to leave and Kagome nodded.
"Okay..well it was nice meeting you two... good-bye!" Kagome and Sango waved as they began walking back home.
"So...seeing someone?" Sango winked at Kagome as they walked.
"Oh, you know what I meant!" Kagome lightly shoved Sango.
"Yeah, sure I do. You just LOVE my brother, don't you?" Sango teased as she ran.
"SANGO!" Kagome laughed as she chased after her.
