Chapter 7
I Don't Know If...
So...here they were.
Miroku and Kagome. Alone, again. Though...
"I'm sorry, Kagome."
She flinched, her back still to him.
"I don't know what I was thinking...I just...had to know..."
"Know what, Miroku?" She was calm, collected. Almost as if they hadn't committed a sin. Or whatever it was.
"If I wanted you." Kagome blinked. This all was moving too fast. Just a couple days ago they had been friends, no attraction. Nothing. She was with Inuyasha, and he was with...
'K-Kikyo...'
And Miroku was with Sango...right? This whole thing happening was just...foolish...
Hormones rising their ugly little heads! Maybe depression...Kagome didn't know. Deep down she was lonely...lonely over the fact that Inuyasha just wouldn't be with her, and only her!
Maybe that was why she kissed him back. 'Miroku...'
"It was just a mistake, Miroku," she laughed nervously, meaning for the statement to come out funny.
The monk didn't laugh, though.
"Was it?" His voice was cracked, almost hurt.
"Of course." Her chest...it was hurting. Like saying a final goodbye to someone you...
She mentally shook her head. She didn't love him! Not Miroku...
"I see..." And then he was walking away. She gasped, turning around to face him.
"Miroku!" He stopped and faced her, eyes wide with...curiousity?
"Yes, Kagome?" He sounded so...
"So, that's it? We just act like nothing happened? You just...walk away?" It was her turn to sound hurt.
Miroku grinned, which annoyed her greatly, "Well, what else is there to do? Do you want me to kiss you again?"
She 'eep'ed, and unconsciously took a step back. "Wh-what? No! I just..." She just what?
"Yes?" He was enjoying this! Watching her squirm!
"I-I kissed you back, you know...you don't deserve all the blame..." she glanced down at her feet, and placed her hands behind her back.
She looked so...innocent. Like a blushing child, ashamed of being caught peeping.
That's what he loved about her.
"Who said I was placing any blame on myself? I was just stating a fact," he smirked, "You were terrible. So clumsy, and inexperienced! One would hardly call that kissing back!"
Kagome let out an angered squeak, clencing her fists. "WHAT! Y-You just caught me off-guard, what'd you expect!"
Miroku came closer, "Well...I kinda expected..." He didn't finish; didn't have to.
She gasped, her anger draining, "Miroku...we can't...It was just a mistake, right? I don't know if...I can handle this right now..." She backed up, away from his approaching form, "Don't do this to me. Please, Miroku..."
But he was already embracing her.
