~*~My Heart Is Yours~*~

A/N: I'm so sorry for the long update. I had a TON of homework, projects, and reports due..but now, I get a good amount of days to update! ^_^ So hang on, everyone. Major updating will start soon!

Chapter 9: Words Can Be Deceiving

Miroku sat up with a groan.

'I feel horrible,' he thought, rubbing his head at the same time.

He turned his head and saw that Inu Yasha wasn't in bed.

"Wha-" he shifted his view to the clock.

11:37.

"Oh shit! I'm LATE!"

*****

Sango sleepily sat up in bed and yawned.

"I'm tired," she sighed and then saw that Kagome was not in bed at the corner of her eye. "What the-"

Her eyes flew over to the digital clock on the desk in the corner of the room.

11:38

"Ayaaaaaaaaaaah!"

*****

Kagome walked out to the track alone.

"Who knew that I'd miss Sango this much?" she wondered aloud.

Mr. Saotome blew his whistle.

"Everyone, take a seat!" he ordered. "Today, we're going to run laps!"

The college students groaned and then jumbled around.

Kagome mumbled under her breath.

"You are so deaf," a familiar voice muttered. She shrieked as the person slung her over their shoulder.

"Didn't you hear the teacher say, 'take a seat'?" Inu Yasha asked. He stopped walking as Kagome started thrashing around.

"Let me down!" she whined.

He ignored her and just kept walking, "Seriously. Sometimes, I think you really ARE deaf, like that time when-"

"SHUT UP!"

*****

Miroku staggered out of bed and wobbled over to the room next door.

"Wonder if Sango or Kagome is there," he said drowsily. He opened the door. What he saw made him wake up immediately, but when Sango threw a textbook at him, he shrieked in terror.

"Haven't you ever heard of 'knocking'?!" Sango screeched and threw another textbook at him. "You bastard!"

She tightly gripped the towel that was wrapped around her.

'I'm so glad I had this towel on when he saw me,' she thought.

Sango hissed, "OUT!"

*****

Kagome tiredly ran around the track for the 100th time. She gasped for air.

"Too-tired," she rasped. She stopped running and slowed down to a walk.

"You are WAY out of shape, aren't you?" Inu Yasha whispered in her ear from behind.

She yelped. He chuckled.

Inu Yasha walked beside her and remarked, "Guess Miroku and Sango aren't up yet, huh?"

Kagome nodded grimly.

He frowned and then peered at her.

"Something the matter?" he asked.

"No."

"Uh huh, sure."

"Really."

"Oh, really?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Oh, shut up."

Inu Yasha pouted, "I was only worrying about you."

"That's nice," she waved a hand at him. "Now leave me alone."

"Humph, wench," he snarled. "See if I care about you anymore!"

With that, he ran off again.

A smile twitched at the corner of Kagome's mouth, "INU YASHA! GUESS WHAT? I MEANT TO TELL YOU THIS SOONER, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO BREAK YOUR HEART AND ALL..MY MOM WANTS ME TO BREAK UP WITH YOU BECAUSE SHE WANTS ME TO DATE HOJO!"

Inu Yasha stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to look at her, "What?!"

"You know," Kagome added slyly. "I WOULD rather have Hojo as my boyfriend. He's nice, caring, and.."

He trudged over to her.

"Oh, really?" Inu Yasha spat. "Fine. Go ahead and be Hobo's girlfriend!"

"Inu Yasha-"

"And you know what? Ask you mother if something happened to her brain!"

"I was just-"

"If you're just going to throw our relationship away like that, I have only one thing to say to you: go to hell!" Inu Yasha interrupted again.

Kagome fell to her knees, her bangs covering her eyes.

"Inu Yasha," she whispered. "If you really feel that way.."

A tear slipped down her cheek.

"Gah-Kagome!" Inu Yasha quickly kneeled down in front of her and hugged her. "Don't cry!"

"But you said that you wouldn't care about me anymore!" she wailed. "Not only that. You said all those things, when all this was just a joke!"

"Just a-" Inu Yasha paused and then pulled back.

"Just a joke?" he asked sweetly.

"Uh oh," Kagome bit her lip. She stood up and ran off.

"Come BACK HERE!" Inu Yasha shouted and chased after her. "We're not done talking yet!"

"Oh, YES we are!" she laughed back.

*****

Miroku climbed back in bed and closed his eyes.

"What the heck," he yawned. "I'll just ditch today."

After a few minutes, he fell asleep.

*****

Sango quickly put on her shoes, took her school bag and stepped out of her dorm.

"Hm," she bit her lip. "I wonder if Miroku is still in his room."

She strode over to the door that was a few feet away from hers and knocked.

'At least I know how to knock,' she thought.

No one answered.

"Oh, well," she shrugged. "Guess he isn't there."

A/N: My apologies for making this chapter short -_-. BUT, hear me out. The next chapter is about Halloween and the chapter following that is about Christmas. So expect the one about Halloween anytime soon and the one about Christmas on Christmas Eve/Christmas/or the day after Christmas. Thank you for reading! Please review!

*SIGH* I know you fluff lovers are like, "What? No fluff in this chapter?!"

But I'll tell you this: fluff will be in the next chapter, in the chapter after that, etc. ^_~
