DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter Eleven: Seeking Forgiveness
"Hey Inuyasha," Miroku called out to his friend before Inuyasha could run out the door. "I think I have a plan to help you get back Kagome."
"What is it?" Inuyasha growled impatiently. He was panicking at the moment because Kagome was with Kouga.
Miroku indicated for the others to huddle in. He then whispered his plan to the rest of them.
"Are you sure?" Sango asked him doubtfully. "I mean, if it doesn't work, then it's going to be much worse than the situation that we have here."
Miroku pretended to look hurt. "Do you doubt the master of romance? I for one, do know exactly what I'm doing."
Sango snorted and Rin giggled. "Master of romance?" Sango quipped sarcastically. "Is that why you have received so many slaps?"
"Ok, ok you guys," Inuyasha interrupted them. "Alright, I guess I'll try and see if it will work."
When Kagome and Kouga arrived at Miroku's apartment, Kagome quickly said good night and gave him a peck on the cheek. Kouga was a bit surprised at the way she was acting. Wanting to give her a proper goodnight kiss, he grabbed her arms and was about to kiss her when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Miroku stood behind him, and being the protective cousin that he was, not to mention wanting to help his best buddy, Inuyasha, he quickly disentangled Kagome from Kouga's arms.
"I think that's enough for one night," Miroku spoke in a strict tone.
Kagome looked at her cousin with a thankful expression and Miroku winked when Kouga was not looking. Kagome smiled and she and Miroku headed inside, closing the door in Kouga's face.
"Thanks Miroku," Kagome replied. "I didn't really want to kiss Kouga. I never realized how useful you could be."
Miroku pretended to be hurt, "Aaw, I was hoping I was more than a useful tool." Kagome punched her cousin's arm lightly and a smile broke out on his face. She didn't want to bring up Inuyasha at the moment, but she knew she had to ask about her friends. "So, what happened when I left?"
"Well, I dropped Sango off at her house and Sesshomaru and Rin went home. Kikyo left before we had a chance to deal with her. And Inuyasha, he raced out after you two."
Kagome stiffened at the mention of Inuyasha and Kikyo. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Kagome opened the door to find a panting Sesshomaru and Rin in tears.
"Oh Kagome!" Rin gasped out. "It's horrible! Absolutely horrible. Inuyasha's been in an accident!"
Kagome went rigid when she heard that. Miroku pretended to be shocked at this news, even though it was a part of his plan.
"You're not serious are you?" Kagome whispered, hoping that it was a trick.
For a moment, Sesshomaru felt sorry for tricking the girl, but he had to in order to get this to work for his younger brother. 'You owe me big time for this, Inuyasha.'
"Oh it was horrible," Rin explained to Kagome. "He left the restaurant to follow you two back to the apartment and he was driving really fast and suddenly he crashed. He's seriously injured now and..."
"Miroku!" Kagome wailed. She began to sob into her cousin's shoulders. Rin and Sesshomaru and Miroku shared a look. Their plan was working. Kagome was feeling guilty and maybe she'd take the chance to talk to Inuyasha.
"It's my entire fault," Kagome sobbed. "I shouldn't have done that. Where is he now?"
Rin and Sesshomaru expected Kagome to react this way, so they quickly led her to their car.
Miroku and Kagome climbed in the backseat and Kagome didn't stop crying. Rin was still pretending her charade and pretending to cry.
"We found him on the road and we brought him back to the mansion. We called Sango and she should be coming over too, in case...he dies." Rin whispered. This set off another fit of tears and Kagome buried her head on Miroku's shoulder. She was feeling so guilty that Inuyasha might have died because of her.
They arrived at the mansion and Kagome quickly ran to the door, before realizing that she didn't have the key to get in. She cursed under her breath while she waited for Sesshomaru to come over. The door finally opened and she realized that Sango had already reached there.
Her friends took her to Inuyasha's room. Miroku whispered to Kagome, "We think you should go in there and see him first. We don't want to disturb him now."
Kagome nodded her head and went inside. She saw Inuyasha lying on the bed. He had a bandage wrapped around his head and his eyes were closed.
Kagome sat on the bed and continued to cry. "I'm so sorry," she whispered. "It's my entire fault. I shouldn't have run away...like that. Please don't die."
She continued to cry, but Inuyasha gave no response. In reality, he was actually aware of Kagome's presence and he inwardly smiled that she cared enough to come see him. So maybe he does have a chance with her after all.
"I don't know what to do. I'm so sorry. If you wake up now, I'll do anything to make up for it," Kagome continued as her tears began to increase. She put her head down on Inuyasha's chest.
Suddenly she felt Inuyasha's chest rumble. She immediately lifted her head to see Inuyasha laughing gently at her.
"You really promise to do anything to make it up?" Inuyasha asked.
"What...I thought you were injured," Kagome stuttered. "I..."
Suddenly she glared at him, "You really aren't injured are you?"
She ripped the bandage from his head and noticed that he didn't even have a scratch. Realization hit her like a stone and she immediately ran for the door. She suddenly realized that the door was locked.
"Miroku! You guys!" Kagome screamed angrily. "I know you guys were a part of this! So you had better let me out now!"
"No Kagome," Sango's voice came through the door. "You are not leaving that room until you and Inuyasha resolve things." Kagome sighed in defeat when she realized that her friends were serious. She turned back and glared at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha understood the look and put up his hands, "It was Miroku's idea, not mine."
'Not to self,' Kagome thought. 'Kill Miroku when you are released.'
"But you still took a part in it!" Kagome accused him.
Inuyasha looked guilty. "Well, I only wanted you to listen to me first before you jumped to conclusions."
Kagome snorted and proceeded to ignore Inuyasha.
"Hey come on," Inuyasha begged. "Please give me a chance to explain. You were always fair, weren't you? And it wouldn't be fair if you didn't give me a chance to explain myself."
That hit the spot and Kagome nodded for Inuyasha to continue. "Well, first off, I didn't kiss Kikyo. She kissed me, but I swear I had nothing to do with it. And she also draped herself all over me. I did not want to go on a date with her, but since you went with Kouga, I had to pick someone so that I could...accompany you."
Kagome didn't want to believe him, but deep down, she knew that he was telling the truth. "Accompany me? What do you mean by that?"
"Well," Inuyasha blushed when he realized that Kagome got him cornered. "I didn't want Kouga to take advantage of you, so I wanted to be there to keep an eye on him."
Kagome snorted. "Inuyasha, I can take care of myself. Besides, how come you don't need supervision when you're near me?"
"Um, I," Inuyasha decided to change the subject at the moment. "Well, were you really worried about me earlier?"
Kagome was taken aback at the change of subject. She lowered her head and blushed. "Well, yeah, I was. You know how guilt can drive a person."
Inuyasha was surprised. He had hoped that Kagome would confess some sort of feelings for him. He decided to push his luck a bit further. "Just guilt? Were you jealous at seeing me with Kikyo?" Kagome was angry at this. "Well, were you jealous when you saw me with Kouga? And yes! I was jealous! How could I not be when a slut is draping herself all over you?!"
Kagome stopped when she realized what she had just said. Inuyasha took the chance and pulled Kagome to his chest. He held her in his embrace, despite her struggles.
"Kagome, I really like you," Inuyasha whispered. "I am touched that you were worried about me."
Kagome blushed at that comment. "I like you too Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's heart stopped at her confession. "Do you really mean that?"
"Of course, baka. I wouldn't lie to you."
Inuyasha took on a mischievous smile. "You remember how you promised to do anything for me, if I didn't die?"
Kagome retorted. "But you were pretending. So that goes against the rules."
"Nope," Inuyasha smiled back at her. "You didn't state the rules earlier. Only that you would do anything for me if I didn't die."
Kagome snorted then nodded her head.
"Well," Inuyasha began. "I've decided that there is something that you can do for me."
"Is it something perverted?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Hm...now that you mention it," Inuyasha pretended to think. Kagome whacked him softly on the head.
"You've been hanging around Miroku too much."
Inuyasha chuckled at her reaction. "Fine, this is what I really want from you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Kagome's breath stopped when she heard the question. "Inuyasha, do you really care for me?"
"Yes," Inuyasha whispered to her. 'You don't know how much,' he thought. "Yes," Kagome answered and she kissed him.
Inuyasha was about to deepen the kiss when the door opened.
"Well," Miroku teased. "It seems as if you two have made up."
