Chapter 2

Nagging Thoughts

Present

Kagome let out an annoyed sigh as she collapsed eagerly onto her bed. 'Maybe Inuyasha is right. I should just give up.' She thought, remembering her utterly depressing day at school. Of course, it wasn't that bad if leave out Hojo or her nosy friends or getting lectures from every single god damn teacher in the entire god forsaken-

"That's it! I've had enough, I'm going back!" She yelled to no one in particular.

Feudal Era

"Miroku, for the last time I don't know! She never tells me when she's coming back from her time, so go ask Inuyasha and leave me alone!" Sango screamed, as she walked over to Kaeda's small hut.

Miroku groaned. 'I don't want to ask Inuyasha. He'll kill me for even mentioning the girl.' He slumped his head in defeat. Ever since his small mental debate on Kagome, he could not stop thinking about her. Yet, he could not help but think it foolish to.

Kagome had always come back within a two-week radius and he had never had a problem before. So, why now? It was not as if he could have developed feelings for her over a small, slightly nagging thought. Things do not just happen that way! At least not in his book they did! For, a guy like him had better things to do than to fall for a girl that was already taken, and by a half-demon, no doubt!

A horrible two-timing, half-demon. 'One that could rip me apart if he wanted to.'

"Miroku are you okay?" A voice questioned. The unaware monk jumped and quickly turned to face the one who was rude enough to interrupt his thoughts.

"K-Kagome?" He squeaked, staring at the somewhat peeved looking girl that had been his mind's main concern for the past three days. "You-I mean you're back early."

"Yeah, well, I, uh-I really missed you guys!" Kagome said a little too quickly, giving off the hint that she was lying.

Of course, the startled monk couldn't care less if she was Buddha. He was just glad that he could put his mind at ease. However, one thing was still bothering him.

"Kagome," she tilted her head and gave a questioning look, "Are you happy? With Inuyasha, that is?"

Kagome let out a loud growl of frustration that frightened the monk and many of the villagers passing by, "How can you ask me such a question!" She exploded, "I mean I could never be happy with a jerk like him! Or any guy for that matter! They are all annoying self-centered lug-heads! And I have every right mind to become sexist against them!" With that and a very terrified monk looking after her, Kagome made her way to Kaeda's hut, following the same path Sango took only moments before.

In addition, it was then that Miroku decided, 'I solemnly swear that I will never talk to a woman about her love life again.'
