a Tavern and Two Drunk Men." Please continue to review and read!! Here it
goes!!
"I'm coming, brat." He said angrily walking inside, find Kagome lying on a mat and getting her wounds treated. He forgot everything he was yelling about and walked towards her and worried as could be.
"Kagome...." He whispered, watching Sango and the others circle around her in concern.
"I'm ok." She insisted trying to push them away so they wouldn't worry. It didn't work though. They still had that look in their eyes...Nothing could make them not worry about her. Who couldn't? She was their friend...and probably the best they ever had.
"Is she alright Kaede?" Inuyasha asked, with a great deal of seriousness in his tone.
"Aye, she needs rest though." Kaede said putting ointment. "What happened to ye?" She asked Kagome as she rubbed medicine all over her.
"I..got beat up." She answered uncomfortably as everyone hung their heads. She began to chuckle and laugh. "I know. I'm a weakling. What can I say? I am."
"Who did this?"
"Kikyo." She said, barely enough for anyone to hear. Inuyasha clenched his fists.
'She told me she didn't though....But Kagome wouldn't lie..would she?' He thought looking straight at her.
"You don't have to believe me Inuyasha." Kagome said, knowing why he was looking at her like that. She had seen that look to often and she preferred not too see it much again. Still, there wasn't much she could do about it.
"What do you mean?" He asked looking at her trying to fess up and act all innocent.
"Stop trying to deny it. I know* you don't believe me. But that's okay...Considering how much you love her." She whispered painfully.
"Kagome I----"
"Don't* try to make excuses. I know your lying when you say you don't feel that way about her." She said, cutting him off before his sentence was even halfway finished.
"How do you know how I feel?" Inuyasha asked at the brink of losing his patience.
"Because....I can see it in your eyes."
Inuyasha sighed and looked down at the floor. "You don't know what's in my eyes."
"Yes I do." She said quietly looking away.
"Kagome don't do this to me. Don't* keep coming back to this."
"I'm just saying you love her okay?! I don't see why you're so offensive if its true!" She yelled not able to hold it in.
"So it's not okay for me to like someone but for you it is?!" He asked angrier than before unleashing his jealousy and rage.
"What are you talking about?" She said continuing to glare at him.
"The "perfect' guy you told me about!!!" He said, at the brink of yelling.
"How about the 'perfect woman' you told me about??!!!" She yelled.
Sango, Miroku, Kaede and Shippo looked on confused. "What exactly happened between these two during their little walk?"
Kaede shook her head. "We'll never know."
"FEH! THE GUY'S PROBABLY KOUGA!"
'No its not, its you!' She thought desperately.
"WELL YOURS IS DEFINITELY KIKYO!!!!"
'Kagome, stop arguing with me. I care for you, more than you know..' Inuyasha thought.
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I LIKE KOUGA!!" She yelled. "BUT AT LEAST KOUGA'S NICER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"
"WHAT??? THE GUYS A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!" He yelled. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DEFENDING THAT WIMPY WOLF?! HE KIDNAPPED YOU!!" He said, feeling the urge to go and kill that demon as soon as possible.
'Damn him, twisting up Kagome's mind like that.' He thought.
"AT LEAST HE'S NICE TO ME!" She yelled sticking her tongue out at him.
"AT LEAST I DON'T GO AND HUG EVERY SINGLE GUY I MEET!" Inuyasha yelled, making it very noticeable that he didn't like the fact Kagome talked to other guys besides him.
"I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I DO OR DON'T!!"
"I..I..YO-YOU JUST SHOULDN'T DO THAT!" He stuttered as they continued to argue.
"Well, how about some dinner?" Sango asked right in the middle of the argument. We'll be here all night if we stay."
"You're right! I'm hungry!" Shippo said rushing out the door followed by Kirara.
"Coming, Sango! I'll go wherever you go!!" Miroku said, resulting in a *smack* right on the cheek.
"PERVERT!"
Kaede followed and they all went off to the nearest tavern leaving Inuyasha and Kagome inside. They didn't even notice they were gone.
"SHUT UP!" She screamed angrily giving him death glares.
"YOU SHUT UP!!" He yelled just as threatening.
"GOSH YOU'RE SUCH A PAIN!" Kagome yelled then wincing painfully at her side.
"Kagome!!!!" Inuyasha said, extremely worried and rushing off to her side.
"It's nothing..........So....what, now you care?" She said dryly.
Inuyasha jumped back surprised by what she said. "What does that mean?"
Kagome sighed, exasperated. "It means YOU USUALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!!!"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THAT ALREADY?! I DO CARE ABOUT YOU!!!" He screamed.
Kagome went dead silent. "No you don't.." She whispered.
"Yes I do."
"You love Kikyo...." She said still lying on the mat.
"Will you stop that?"
"Sango, doesn't he love-----What? Where are they?" She said, looking around confused.
"Sango?"
"Miroku?"
*********************************************************************
"So what do you think they were arguing about?" Miroku asked sipping some of his rose hip tea.
"I don't know. Something about the perfect man or woman." Sango said awkwardly. "Odd."
Shippo pretended to gag and shook his head. "All this mushy stuff gets kind of gross after a while you know."
"Aren't you curious?" Miroku asked with a perverted tone.
*SMACK*
"OW! What I do?"
"Pervert." Sango muttered.
"Kikyo attacked Kagome?" Kaede asked, surprised by what the young girl said.
"Yea...She's been trying to kill her...for a while now." Sango whispered.
"Why didn't ye tell Inuyasha?"
"Kagome insisted not too." Miroku interjected. "We had no choice but to comply with her wishes."
Kaede sighed. 'Kikyo, what are you trying to do now?' She thought, thinking how hard it was to see her sister was close to a cold blooded murderer now.
It was a big transformation, from a pure loving priestess...Things change and she dealt with it. Inuyasha needed to do that and to see that.
"I guess she's still stuck over Inuyasha...." Sango sighed.
"Could be." Kaede answered. "But that isn't the Kikyo we knew long ago. Keep that in ye mind."
Sango nodded and sighed. For a while, silence filled the room. Until, that is the monk's hand crept up in a certain place where it shouldn't have.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
"What? What I DO?" Miroku asked holding his head in pain.
"Touch me there one more time and I will cut you apart." Sango warned.
Miroku gulps and smiled nervously. "I can't help it! It's my hands! Blame them!" He said smacking his hands, "Bad hands!"
Sango looked at him oddly. "Monk, you're starting to scare me more and more by the day."
"Why is that?" He said not getting a single clue.
"He's such an idiot." Shippo groaned stretching his arms.
"I'm not an idiot! Well, I might be...But you gotta admit, I'm a pretty handsome looking one." He said with a cheesy smile.
Sango sighed. "This guy is impossible."
******************************************************************
'Great they just leave me here. Some friends they are.' Kagome thought to herself. 'Look at him, sitting there and doing nothing....Gosh....Just because I'm hurt doesn't mean I'm stupid. I know he loves Kikyo.' She thought painfully.
'I don't care. For all I know, he can go ahead and marry her. It'll make zero percent impact on my life...' She thought stubbornly.
'They could have at least told us they were leaving.' Inuyasha thought. 'Now I'm left with Kagome. Not that I mind, but....she's really starting to doubt me. Why doesn't she just listen to me? Is there something I'm missing?'
'She's probably just mad because she loves that 'perfect guy' she was talking about..He's really lucky, whoever he is, to have someone like Kagome look after him. I'd do anything for that..But then again, I don't blame her for disliking me. I know I've been a jerk with this Kikyo stuff...But...I owe Kikyo.' He thought feeling a pang of jealousy ring through his heart.
'Are we just going to sit here and keep quiet all night?' Kagome thought sighing to herself.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said, looking at her. Kagome raised a brow in question.
"I don't blame you for being angry." He mumbled. "I am a jerk."
Kagome sighed and suddenly felt guilty.
"No, I was acting like a jerk the past few minutes."
"Yea you were." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Excuse me," Kagome said playing around, "I'm trying to apologize, now..before I was so rudely interrupted...."
Inuyasha laughed trying to lighten the mood of their argument.
*Flashback*
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THAT ALREADY?! I DO CARE ABOUT YOU!!!" He screamed.
Kagome went dead silent. "No you don't.." She whispered.
"Yes I do."
"You love Kikyo....."
*End Flashback*
'No one....not even Kagome, believes me on this one.' He sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Inuyasha responded.
'He never tells me anything. That's why I rarely ever believe him about Kikyo...If he really didn't love her, he'd tell these things.' She thought.
"I'm just.....depressed."
'Is he...opening up?' Kagome thought when she heard him talk.
"Why?"
He looked at her and sighed. "No one believes me. I wish they did. There was always one person I could rely on to believe me..But she doesn't either."
Kagome looked at him sadly. "Inuyasha........."
