Chapter Seven
Kikyo came up to the group and said very cheerfully, "Hi Inuyasha!"
"Hi, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha said sternly.
"Oh, nothing, I just need to talk to you, "Kikyo said then looked at everyone else, "alone."
"What ever you need to say, you can say in front of them, too." Inuyasha gave Kikyo a death glare.
"It's ok Inuyasha, well leave. Come on guys." Kagome bulled them into the bar room, which was right behind where Inuyasha was standing. Kagome closed the door and then she and Sango pressed their ears against the door to listen to their conversation.
"You know girls; it's really rude to eavesdrop." Miroku said then put his ear against the door also.
"Sure it is." Sango said.
"There is nothing else to talk about, Kikyo, we're over...for good." Inuyasha said with no expression.
"Inuyasha, we've been going on and off for 10 years, what makes this time any different? Is it that girl you're with?" Kikyo said pleadingly.
"Well, this time is different because, I'm sick and tired of it. There's no future in our relationship. Kagome has nothing to do with it. I happen to like her, a lot. She's supportive of what I'm doing here. You're not."
'Did he just say he likes me?' Kagome thought.
'Well, the plan's working...' Sango thought.
'Ha ha, I knew it. Despite all of his stubbornness and rebellion.' Miroku thought and they all continued to listen.
"Come on Inuyasha, you can't be serious. Come back to the fashion industry with me. Or at least work for your brother's fashion line. And did you just say her name was Kagome?"
"I'm not going back, and I'm certainly not going to work for my brother. Yes, her name is Kagome. So what?"
"Her name just sounds familiar. But will you please come back? Or come back to our relationship?"
"HELL NO! I'm sick of you always telling me what to do! We always break up and I don't even know why we bother coming back together again! It's pointless!"
"Fine, if that's the way you want it, I'll let you be. Can I at still come to your grand opening?" Kikyo said calmly.
"Fine, for now, we'll see." With that, Kikyo left and Inuyasha opened the door. Three people fell out onto the floor. "Did you people hear any of that?"
"No, of course not, we tried but the damn door is sound proof." Miroku lied.
"Good, you better have not." Inuyasha said, "Well, I guess its late."
'Good, he didn't test the door.' Miroku thought and said, "We'll take you girls home."
"Ok," Kagome and Sango said in unison. The ride to Kagome's apartment was a quiet one. Inuyasha and Miroku followed the girls to their apartment. Kagome and Sango turned around and said. "Well good night."
Miroku gave Sango a good night kiss the same time Inuyasha gave one to Kagome. Sango parted with Miroku and looked at Kagome who was still in shock then deepened the kiss. This lasted for a bit too long for a good night kiss...way too long. So Miroku went ahead and said, "Ahem. We better get going, Inuyasha." They parted then Kagome waved goodbye and went into her apartment after Sango.
Kagome slumped on the couch and sighed. "So, how was it?" Sango asked. She dropped her keys on the counter then sat beside Kagome.
"How was what?" Kagome joked.
"Well by the sound of your voice and the fact that you can joke at that, you loved it." Sango smiled.
"It was wonderful. I didn't know he was going to do that, and so well none the less."
Sango giggled, "Well, that was great acting. You really make him fall for you. I'd say just one more day, and he'll hall head over heels for you. The plan is working perfectly."
Kagome sighed, "Yeah. Well, I better go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
Kagome was in her bedroom and lay on her bed when she sat up to think, "Yeah, perfect plan alright. Except that I'm falling for him, too. How could this happen?! I mean, he ruined my life; I had to move to another school! I should ruin his life, right? Aw, why am I talking to myself? I should just forget it. Sango's right. I should continue the plan, I think"
Inuyasha just got home and went up to his room without saying a word to Miroku until he came in. They were both dressed in their pajamas. Well more like pajama bottoms and a white shirt. Inuyasha was sitting in a chair next to his open window "Hey, what was the long kiss about?" Miroku asked pulling up a chair next to Inuyasha's.
"You already know, you heard me didn't you?"
"Heard you what?"
"Through the door."
"Like I said, no." Miroku said. Thinking that if he said, 'yes' then he would expose that Kagome had heard, too.
"Well, I said I liked Kagome, a lot. But now it just makes me confused."
"Well, by the way you reacted when Kikyo arrived; I'd say you do like Kagome."
"Well duh I like Kagome. It's the part when I said I liked her, a lot that makes me confused."
"Do I really like her more than that?"
"Yes, just face it. You love her."
Inuyasha pressed his face against his hands against his lap and started to shake his head in frustration. "Do I really? I just met her 2 or 3 days ago. Can love appear just like that?"
"Inuyasha, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Yeah, I guess, why?"
"Well then, it is possible. You love Kagome just admit it."
'I love her?' Inuyasha thought. "I...love...her." he said slowly. "Thanks Miroku, thanks for helping me realizing it."
"Well finally some recognition for all my work."
"Well it's not like you fixed us up or anything."
"Yeah, if you hadn't broken up with Kikyo and fulfilled your dream, then you would have never met Kagome."
"That's right, so if I had broken up with her years ago, I could have met Kagome sooner, too."
They both laughed. "Well good night Inuyasha, I'll let you sleep and think all about it. Remember the evening after tomorrow is the grand opening. We have to hurry and get everything set tomorrow."
'Right two more days.' Inuyasha thought then went to sleep.
Kikyo came up to the group and said very cheerfully, "Hi Inuyasha!"
"Hi, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha said sternly.
"Oh, nothing, I just need to talk to you, "Kikyo said then looked at everyone else, "alone."
