Luna: Yeah! I stole this coat! *Shows it off*
Veron: *sweatdrop* Anyway, on with the latest installment!
~*~ Chapter 3: Just a little lie…
Inuyasha groaned and rolled over on his bed, ignoring the incessant ringing beside him. Stupid phone, it could just burn in hell.
It rang.
And rang.
And rang.
And rang.
Until Inuyasha couldn't take the annoying sound effects any more and ripped the contraption from its cradle.
"Hello?" He asked gruffly, irritated enough to simply say fuck off to the person opposite on the line and hang up. His shoulder hurt like a bitch and a miko was in another room! Can't the world just leave him alone to be in pain in peace for once?
"Inuyasha-Kun."
Apparently not.
"Hey Kikyo…"
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"
" It's 3 am over here…"
"Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot about the time zones…it's only 2 am here." *
" It's alright. What's wrong?"
" I just wanted to check on you. And…when are you coming back? You've been gone for almost a month already."
Shit. Time to think fast.
" Oh…um…I'm not sure yet. Much longer though, this lead is getting pretty good." He sat up and scratched the back of his neck, before wincing in pain.
'Oh yeah, pretty good at shooting an arrow and I really don't want to freak you out with my injury so soon…'
" Oh I was hoping you'd come home soon. I miss you."
" I miss you too. I'm pretty beat though…sorry to be so abrupt."
" It's okay. I'm sorry I woke you. Sweet dreams."
"Yeah. Thanks, night."
"Night."
Click.
Right sweet dreams his ass. He couldn't have sweet dreams when he hadn't even seen Kikyo for nearly four weeks. And a nice looking copy was just on the other side of the wall…
Inuyasha growled and fell face first onto his bed, placing a pillow over his head.
Stupid Miroku was rubbing off on him.

Kagome looked over uncertainly at Sango, her gray blue eyes clouded with apprehension. They had left Alaska by a plane while Kagome slept; she didn't remember a thing. Currently, they were in some place called Cal-ee-fourn-eeya. Weird name. Kagome shrugged and bit her lip, shifting her weight from foot to foot from behind the bathroom door of their hotel room.
"Come on out Kagome-Chan!" Sango's voice called out from the other side encouragingly. Kagome took a deep breath and stepped out; her eyes set on staring holes into the floor.
" A school uniform Sango-san?" Miroku asked, clearly surprised by his female companion's choice of modern clothes for the miko.
"She is eighteen after all, and to compliment her I.D. She'll need this."
"True…" Miroku trailed off, rather focused on the way Kagome's hips moved beneath the short green skirt. Nice sway…and the way the white fabric of the blouse clung to her bust line was enough to-
Abruptly, Miroku saw black and fell unconscious to the floor, an angry Sango holding a chair above his body.
"Hentai…" She muttered angrily before smiling brightly to Kagome as if nothing odd had occurred.
"That looks nice on you Kagome. You really suit that outfit well!"
Kagome sweatdropped at her friends quick change in attitude.
" You think so?" She asked, twirling in front of the mirror.
" Yeah! Right Inuyasha?"
"Feh." He rolled his eyes and kept typing on his laptop, exchanging instant messages with Shippo. Kagome looked like Kikyo, so 'Kikyo' in a school uniform was way too appealing. Stupid human half…
Inuyasha muttered incoherently, before continuing his online conversation.
Kagome and Sango looked at him, before shrugging.
" Tell me Kagome…how did you know my name in the hospital before I introduced myself?" Sango asked, her head cocked toward the girl's face.
" Oh! Well, you remind me of a young taijya that I met once. We fought a giant centipede demon once. She was wounded and I nursed her back to health. Sango-san was a really nice person, but I never really heard from her again. Supposedly, her entire village was ransacked by demons out for revenge, so I don't know what happened to her." Kagome frowned and sighed.
Sango smiled, masking her utter curiosity. Kagome was leaving something out, the way she fidgeted and the way she spoke about the entire ordeal dealing with her 'incarnate'. Something was up, but she barely had the girl on the first legs of trust and friendship. She didn't want to ruin it so quickly, not now. Sango still had to squeeze information out of her about the Shikon no Tama, but for her the memories of the gem were still fresh and haunting. Sango would be forced to wait.
And damn was that hard.

Miroku stared at Kagome as she browsed through the CD racks. Her eyes were curious and wide, but apparently, Sango had given her a heavy crash course on the latest trends and slang. That and some English. And apparently…Kagome was an incredibly fast learner. And she had an affinity for Britney Spears.
So much for the pure miko image.
"Kagome-sama, why would you choose this disc?"
"I liked the video 'Toxic'." She answered nonchalantly as she examined the back of the case.
Miroku coughed violently.
" Toxic? But that was a rather…inappropriate video for one of such powerful purity as yourself."
" One does not need to be pure in body to be pure in soul." Kagome answered, before looking over her credit card.
" I slide the card through that right?" She asked; pointing to the machine on the side of the counter while the clerk wasn't listening.
"Y-y-y-yes Kagome-sama."
"Thanks!" And with that, the young miko went on with her musical purchase. Leaving a stunned Miroku to stare at her back blankly.
~ One does not need to be pure in body to be pure in soul. ~
Had Kagome actually done that with…
Miroku viciously shook his head, no use thinking of that, he had to go rescue the miko from the 'demons' of the sliding doors.
Oh boy…
~
" Kagome's not a virgin?" Inuyasha whispered heatedly to Miroku as the other man merely nodded blankly. Sango was busy dancing with Kagome to her new CD upstairs. The music blared through the stairs of the suite they rented. Inuyasha's brother could be useful, that and he owed a life long debt to Inuyasha for saving his 'daughter' Rin. But on with things at hand…
" As far as I can tell. She said, ' One does not need to be pure in body to be pure in soul.' And you said that 'you' were the only one she ever loved. So whom else could she have slept with? But then again I could be wrong. I doubt it though, or else she would have probably reacted much more strongly to that 'Toxic' video."
"Yeah…so she lost her virginity to my incarnate?"
"We can't be certain, but there is a chance. We just can't mention this to her, intrusion on her privacy."
Inuyasha nodded, painfully aware of the complications this made. At least for him, 'he' had slept with her, 'pledged' his love to her and then tried to kill her! No wonder she was so heartbroken over it.
But none of these revelations answered his question.
How could a non-magical hanyou seal a miko in the first place?

Veron: So is Kag a virgin or not? Keep reading to find out!
