Chapter Nineteen

"AGH!" Inuyasha was pulling his hair in frustration

"Dude, I know it's tough, but can I ask you why did you say Kikyo's name in the first place?" Miroku asked. They were at the skate park and decided to take a break and go eat there.

"I don't know, like I said, it just slipped. They look so much alike, but they can't be anymore different, if they were, one of them would be out of existence. Kagome probably is going out with a whole bunch of other guys right now." Inuyasha let out a heavy sigh.

"You know, she might be." Miroku said and thought back to last night.

Flashback

"Hey Sango." Miroku called Sango on the phone

"Hey, what's up?"

"Not Inuyasha's romance life."

"Yeah, same with Kagome." Sango sighed.

"Where is she?"

"She's in the bathroom, so we have to hurry."

"Wait, what do you mean 'Sane with Kagome'? You mean she's hopelessly depressed too?"

"Yeah."

"Wait, I thought she hated Inuyasha for what he did."

"She does, but she can't stop thinking about him" Sango said, "Isn't Inuyasha happy and flirting with every girl he sees?"

"You wish. He's just moping around and being pathetic."

"Yeah, so is Kagome. Oh crap, I'll talk to you later, she's coming."

End flashback

"You seem too depressed to skate some more, you want to go home?" Miroku asked looking at his weary friend.

"Your house? Sure." Inuyasha sighed.

"If I got a dollar for every time you sighed, I'd be a millionaire." Miroku chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah, let's just go."

"Kagome, you've got to get out in the dating world again." Sango said.

"But I can't stop thinking about him! What I f I was on a date and I just stare off into space and ignore my date, or if I call out Inuyasha's name. Hey, you think that's why he called out Kikyo's name? Because he used to date her, and he can't forget about her? Oh, that would make sense but it would be terrible!" Kagome blabbered.

"Kagome, calm down, I'm sure that's not it. And why can't you forget about him? I mean you said it yourself a dozen times that he's a jerk."

"Yeah, but he's my jerk!" Kagome pouted.

Sango laughed, "You're almost as protective as Inuyasha is."

"You're right; he always was protective of me wasn't he? Especially when Hojo gets near me. I guess I'm the same way with Kikyo aren't I?"

"Well, that's what you're supposed to do. You're his girlfriend."

"Do people still think that?"

"Yeah, they think it's a temporary thing."

"I hope it is." Kagome sighed.

"You still didn't really explain why you still like him after what he did to you. I mean I would kill Miroku if he did that now."

"I know I should hate him and all, but it's hard to stay mad at him, and gah! After what I did and said to him, he's probably out with Kikyo by now." Kagome stood up and walked towards the door, "I'm just going to go to the store and get some things."

"Alright, I'm just going to stay here, just be sure not to chase after Inuyasha."

Kagome smiled, "Uh huh."

A couple of minutes later…"I RAN INTO INUYASHA AT THE STORE!" Kagome burst in the room where Sango jumped onto the floor.

"Sheesh girl, don't scare someone like that! So what happened?!"

"Nothing, I bumped into him and we started to run the opposite way."

Sango sweat dropped, "That's it?" She said a bored voice.

"Yeah, but I felt like I a cross between slapping him and kissing him! It was crazy! I felt like my mind was going to explode!"

"Kagome, get a hold of yourself, you're going Inuyasha-crazy! You're even starting to have his split personality." Sango started to walk to the front door, "I'm going to the library, and when I come back, Inuyasha better not be here," she joked and closed the door behind her.

"No Inuyasha! You can't go see her!" Miroku was trying to hold back Inuyasha.

"But you knew all along where she was, and after the accident at the market, I have to go see her!"

"NO!" Miroku screamed after Inuyasha broke free from his grasp.

"Alright, I won't go see her, I'm just going for a quiet walk in the park ALONE!" And Inuyasha slammed the door.

Kagome was sitting on the corner of Sango's couch and watching TV. All of the sudden, Sango tramples in. "AHA! I knew he was here. Where is he?" she searches around the couch, then goes into the bedroom. "Ok, he's not here, he was here wasn't he?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Kagome asked.

"Inuyasha, I know he's here."

"No, he isn't."

"Fine, whatever. I'm going to the bathroom. Right over there…so don't try anything." Sango gestured over to the bathroom and went inside.

Someone was knocking at the door so Kagome opened it. It was Inuyasha (Go figure) "Oh, hey, what are you doing here?" Kagome said calmly, but blinked a lot in surprise.

"I, uh, Kagome, I think we need to talk." Inuyasha said nervously. Kagome tried to act as surprised as she can. She kept a straight face, "Um, can I come in?"

"Hmm, let me think about that. ." Kagome went and sat almost in the middle of the couch, hoping that he wouldn't sit with her…yeah right. He sat down right next to her.

"Kagome, I know I messed up. I know that you must hate me and never want to speak to me ever again, but if I knew that night would have been the last time I would see your happy face, I would have looked into your beautiful eyes longer. If I knew it was the last time I would kiss you, I would have never ended it. Will you give me another chance to?" Inuyasha pleaded clasping Kagome's hands in his.

Sango ran out and stood at the edge of the couch, "Gods! Kiss him already!"

"What?" Kagome looked shocked at Sango's expression as to a few minutes ago.

"Didn't you hear that speech?! Kiss him already, or else Kikyo would!"

Then Miroku burst the door open, "I knew you would come here!"

"What is Miroku doing here?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha leaded back into the couch and sighed, "I made him keep myself away from you."

Kagome smiled, "Well, our friends do a lousy job of it."

"Well, we knew that you were going to get back together sooner or later… we just gave you a little push." Sango laughed and smiled brightly.

"Wait, you knew al about this?" Kagome asked.

"Hold on, you never hated me?" Inuyasha tried to clue in.

"Of course I hated you, but it didn't last really long."

"Oh, and yeah, we knew all along. We just thought it would be cuter if you solved it on your own." Miroku said.

Inuyasha whispered something in Kagome's ear then turn to their friends, "We'll give you a 5 second head start."

"Head start for what?" Sango and Miroku asked.

"5!" Inuyasha and Kagome ran chasing their friends out of the house and once around the block.

…

"Hey, it's been 2 days; I wonder where Inuyasha and Kagome are." Kagome's dad said out of randomness.

"Probably got a hotel or something, after that night, who knows." Inuyasha's dad shrugged.

(A/n, ok, you can tell by now that Kagome and Inuyasha's parents are sick, and always have wrong conclusions.)

…

"Ok, ok, we're sorry!" Sango and Miroku finally gave up once they got back to Inuyasha's and Kagome's house. They went in and were greeted my very creepy happy faces.

"So, where were you these past 2 days?" Inuyasha's mom asked in a very curious, light hearted way.

"I stayed at Sango's house and Inuyasha stayed at Miroku's house." Kagome said.

"Sure you did honey." Kagome's mom said.

"What?! We did. We got in a huge fight and then…oh never mind, it's a long story that you would think of something different in the end and it would take hours to get it straight so I'm going to skip to where Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and I run upstairs and go talk or something." Inuyasha rushed upstairs after the others.

By the time Inuyasha got upstairs to his room, no one was there. Then he saw his window was open. He looked down and saw bed sheets tied together into a rope and Sango, Miroku, and Kagome at the bottom signaling him to come down.

"Are these the good sheets?" Inuyasha whispered down to Kagome.

"Oh shut up and get down here." Kagome whispered back.

When he got down, he asked, "So, why are we sneaking out?"

"There's a party at Kikyo's house that she doesn't know about. The whole school kept it a secret from her and now, we're going to go there. And a plus, he parents are out of town and very strict. "Sango said.

"Ok, less talking, more going." Miroku pushed them.

"Why are we sneaking out for? Our parents are nuts and probably don't even care." Inuyasha pointed out.

"Yeah, but remember, Kikyo's parents are out of town, if she sees us there, she'll tae our names and say good bye to our social life." Kagome said. "And we can just sneak back, but we have to avoid Kikyo at all times while we're there."

"And she can't kick us out, because at school, she'll be known as 'the-goodie-goodie-that-doesn't-know-how-to-have-fun-and-is-scared-to-have-an-unsupervised-party'." Miroku said.

"Inuyasha laughed, "Alright let's go before it's too late."
