A/N: I have decided to write the Review Response at the end of the chapter.
I'm not too pleased in this story so far, I'm seriously thinking of deleting it, what do you guys think?
By the way, for all of you kikyo haters, she will be a bit… mean in this… okay, so she's a real bitch. But for those who like kikyo… okay, I've said this before, but I do not like Kikyo. And yet I think she's okay. I mean, I sympathize for her. And I'm pretty sure she's a really good person. This is because Kagome has part of her soul, she isn't really… herself. I mean, jealousy has a lot to do with it too. I've seen many girls in my class, I could name a BIG one now. But they change… they change a lot. Why? For a BOY! They become jealous and hateful, and I've lost many, many friends to things like this. There's a girl who hates me now, when we were really good friends all because I'm best friends with her boy friend, and she gets jealous of the time we spend together.
Jealousy is a powerful thing, and that leads me to sympathize for Kikyo. I mean, I hate her! I really do, but I also think she's pretty cool. I mean, she and Kag did work together in one of the episodes, and Kag revived her, so she can't be that bad right?
So basically, I apologize but I had to make her a.. well… you know.
It's All In The Game of Love
[Last Time…]
It was then that the doorbell rang. Kagome got up, obviously not in the best mood. I took the opportunity to spoon some of her eggs into my plate.
"What are you doing here?"
Chapter 4: Kikyo
"What are you doing here?"Her voice didn't seem too angry. More like she was annoyed, distrustful even.
I think I nearly fell to the gloor in surprise when Miroku's voice chimed in. And here I was thinking it would be someone evil or something like that.
"Why, we are just visiting, my fair lady." Yep, Miroku was quite bad at pickup lines back then… still is. I think that his looks were most likely the only thing that made up for that small detail.
"Drop it Houshi, what are you doing here?" What was Miroku doing here? He usually only visited cheerleaders and sleek-bodied ditzes, basically not outcasts like Kagome Higurashi. Then again, she was part of the female population.
Curiosity getting to me, I dragged my lazy behind out of the dining room. As I stood behind Kagome, being able to see clearly over her short form, I saw Sango Taijiya running from the sidewalk.
"Oh. Hi Sango." Kagome said, her tone changing almost immediately.
The girl gave a curt nod to her friend before hitting Miroku upside the head. "Pervert." She told him, in a deadly calm voice.
Miroku waved his arms in front of his face, and I just rolled my eyes at him. The monk who never learns. He's not really a monk, but his last name suggested one of his crazy nicknames… along with pervert, and the ever famous "DIE YOU BASTARD!". Actually, I could make a book about all of the things people refer to him as. There are as many, if not more then the things people have written on their butts, you know the pants with stuff written on the behind?
Well, I'm getting off track now. I watched in slight amusement as Sango beat the shit out of Miroku.
Honestly, it wasn't a very eye-catching sight anymore, seeing as it happened hourly.
It's pretty damn sad too see a girl beating up the star receiver of Shikon High's Champion football team.
"Hey Sango, do you want to go to the store with me?" Kagome asked. "The idiot broke our egg."
"I can hear you, you know." She was speaking as if I weren't right behind her.
Kagome turned around. "Oh, I'm sorry Inuyasha, did you want to go too?" she asked me, in a highly sarcastic tone.
I mentally smirked. Walked right into this one, she did. "Of course, my love. We are married aren't we?" Oh that one hit home. Her sapphire eyes sparked with anger and embarrassment as she gave me a look of extreme distaste. I continued to smile, my award winning smile, hey, no use in lying that it wasn't!
I caught Sango's eye, and to my surprise, she winked at me. She barely even talked to me at all, what was she planning?
"Kagome." She chimed.
Kagome tore her gaze from me and turned to Sango. "What?"
"Why don't you and Inuyasha go to the store?" She suggested, rather evilly, not for me, but for Kagome. I could see her giving her friend a look that was between a pleading one, and "WHAT?!?"
It was rather amusing really.
Ignoring the question of why Sango was actually helping me, I smiled at Kagome, offering my arm to her as I stepped around her out the doorframe.
Casting another look at her friend, she stepped out the door rather reluctantly. "I have to take care of the pervert." Sango explained. That wasn't really the best excuse, she never did care, why start now?
"Trader." Kagome murmured as Sango waved, dragging Miroku into Kagome's house.
"I'll make myself at home." Sango chimed once more, before closing the door.
Kagome looked at my arm, and glared. "Don't get cute." She said, brushing past me.
I smirked at her backside. "Too late."
She scowled as I ran to catch up with her, emerging beside the amazingly fast walker. "You're so conceited."
I flashed her another smile. But this time… was it just me or did… did I see a slight tint of pink on her cheeks?
We walked a little while, before I noticed something. "Why don't we take my car?" I asked. The grocery store really wasn't that far away, but to walk, well, it just didn't seem normal. Not that Kagome had ever been normal, but did I really want to walk? I mean, what was the point, it's not as if either of us needed to lose the weight.
Kagome came to an abrupt stop, just as she had the other day. Man, I needed some kind of warning for when she's going to do this… or at least when I'm about to say something that is incredibly wrong.
She stood there for a moment as I stumbled around, having just prevented myself from not running into her. I saw some passer-by's giggling as I finally regained posture.
"I don't like cars." She informed me, before starting to walk again. What was with this girl? Why did she act like this all of the time? So distant and mysterious… she interested me to a certain degree, no doubt about that.
I decided to let it pass, and once again, remained quiet for the remainder of the walk.
After about twenty minutes, we reached the Happy Mart. I've never figured out why they would name a store Happy Mart. I mean, all the workers there were always grouchy. What was their motto again?
That's right, "Happy Mart, Where Happy Shoppers Shop Happy."
I have one thing to say to that: Damn.
We stepped into the automatic door and lo' and behold, who was there but Kikyo and her friends. Kikyo and Kagura, the two most popular girls in the school at the time. I had never figured out why, both were snob-assed gals who thought they could win everything and anything over by showing off their assets. It was quite annoying really. Maybe I should mention this: Kikyo was my ex girlfriend. Honestly, I thought we were going to live together, but… well, let's just say that things didn't work out that way.
Kikyo gave us a cold stare as we walked in. "Kagome." She said, eyeing the girl.
"Kikyo." Kagome returned.
"Inuyasha." Kikyo's gaze turned to me in a clear gaze of betrayal.
"Uhh… hi Kagura." I said, ignoring Kikyo, in hopes of making the mood a bit lighter. Sure, had it been a pack of guys, I would've reacted differently, but girls… girls are just scary.
"Inuyasha, I see you've fallen off Mt. Fuji in light of your new taste in… could you call that a girl?" Kikyo smirked coldly, somehow looking at both Kagome and I at the same time.
I heard a low growl emit itself from beside me.
Without another word, Kagome brushed past Kikyo, making the girl stumble back a little.
I glared at Kikyo, before walking after Kagome. To be honest, I think that a part of me still loved Kikyo. I could never bring myself to admit it, but something inside of me just seemed to remember of how we used to be… how she had been. Still, I had to mask any feelings that I might had so foolishly allowed to form in the first place.
"Uh… Kag, are you okay?" I asked her, catching up to her as she began to examine the different eggs which were displayed in the dairy section, next to the milk. She didn't look up as I approached, but answered.
"You don't have license to call me by my nick name." She informed me, finally picking a carton of eggs.
But as she turned to me, she did something which she had never done for me before…
She smiled.
A/N: Corny, I know. I'm sorry that was a really short chapter, wasn't it? Pretty uneventful too!! *cries* I'm A TERRIBLE PERSON!

MistRider: Eep! Yes ma'am! *cries* I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! *dies*
Ayame, In Kouga hating mode: LoL, I like that username by the way! ^.^ Actually, I've seen that movie, it was really cool, and I mentioned earlier that that's what this is mostly based on. However, you'll see there's major differences!
Splot: Yes, They're all OOC, if you guys haven't noticed by now. I'm sorry, but that's the way that I wanted it to be. I don't like the feeling of restrictions, so… well, yeah.
Slant_eyes03: Thanks, I'm trying my best to update more, but school… grr…
Ican'tthinkofagoodnamerightnow: Ooh I like that name too! Okay, okay. LoL.

Mell Minamoto: That was Naraku in disguise! Muahahahaha! No, I'm just joking. Well, I answered in the chapter didn't I?
Windmagelita: Come to think of it, that would've been a good idea!
ChibiHorsewoman: Wow, I haven't seen Sailor Moon since second grade! Oh! We used to play it and I remember I was always the red one, I don't know who that is, but she was red! Ahh… memories! Haha! Hmmm… should I do that to poor Inu-baby?
Suicidal Hamster: … thanks. I mean, no, your word does help. It really does. But things like that happen every day, and the only way out is to go up. I think that she's a lot happier now, anyway, and the thought of that brings joy to the tears! It sounds corny, but still, it's true. Thanks. It happened last summer, and I haven't really talked to anyone about it, but it's okay because, well, can't change it can I?
Animemistress419: I know, don't worry though, things will brighten for Kag later. But I couldn't just let things happen and have her fall head-over-heels instantly.
Whiterose03: I'm really not quite sure yet. I write form the top of my head, and plan very little while I'm writing. It makes it more fun that way, because I don't know what's going to happen either!
KagomeHigurashiM: LoL. That was a fun review to read!
DemonGirl6381: DUUUUUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! Dun.

Pepsihigh: heh heh… this answered your question.
