Inuyasha © Rumiko Takahashi


I was woken up by the rays of light from the sun; I rubbed my eyes and walked outside. Everything was peaceful, no demons to fight or anything. Maybe today, will be a much better day than what happened yesterday. I thought about what Sango had said to me.

Just then, Miroku approach towards me. "Inuyasha, I must speak to you, privately." By the tone of his voice, it sounded like he was angry and sad at the same time.

"Miroku, why did you take me all the way into the forest?" Miroku walked closer towards me and pushed me, by surprised, against the sacred tree.

"What the hell did you do that for?!" He had no right, what-so-ever, to pushed me for no apparent reason.

"Were you not satisfied with Kagome, so instead you go after Sango?" Miroku placed his hand on my chest, raised his staff, and place the tip of his staff near my throat.

"What are you talking about? I would never go hit on Sango, you know that." The tip of his staff was coming closer and closer to my throat, that I could felt the sharp point already on my throat. "Miroku, stop it."

"Why should I listen to you, Inuyasha? I know what my eyes saw; I saw you talking to Sango, and then she slapped you. You groped her ass, didn't you?"

"Miroku, she thought I was you! I would never grope anybody. Listen to me." Why is everybody suddenly turning against me? Did Kikyou put a spell on them? That's probably the answer. Kikyou, where ever you are; you shall pay for what you did to me and my friends.

"Silence, Inuyasha! You speak of lies, why don't you just leave us alone and be with Kikyou!" Please tell me this is all just a nightmare. Let me wake up. "While you are at it, why don't you just go and take the jewel of fours souls away from Kagome, but she might be hard to get it from, maybe you should kill her!"

I stepped back, did Miroku actually thought I would leave Kagome and take the jewel away from her? And kill her also? "I would never do anything to Kagome, yet kill her." I would never leave Kagome; I know this for a fact. But in three more days, I will have to leave her.

"Just leave now, Inuyasha. I don't want to see you pathetic face anymore." With that I felt another of my trust have disappeared. I watched as Miroku walked back to Kaede's hut. Right now, I just really hope this is all a nightmare.

I walked back towards Kaede's hut after a couple of minutes of glazing at the clouds. If this is a nightmare, it really feels real. I stopped when I saw Kagome walking out with Shippou in her arms, and Sango walking beside her.

"Inuyasha, there you are. Where were you?" What should I say? Should I say that Miroku and I were having a chat about me leaving you? No. That wouldn't be a wise thing to do.

"Nowhere. I was just looking at the clouds. I guess, I must have drifted off to sleep for a moment." Geez, what this all I could of think of? I knew, by the look on Kagome's face, that she knew I was lying.

"That's great to hear. I'm glad you're feeling better. Inuyasha, we're going to make lunch now, why don't you come with us." I nodded in response. She actually believed me? No, she was just putting up a mask, trying to hide the hurt that was displayed in her brown orbs. "Inuyasha, I think I left some stuff in Kaede's hut, do you mind getting them for me? And while you are at it, can you tell Miroku?"

"Sure, Kagome. What item do you need?" Kagome told me, and I started walking back to Kaede's hut, fetching the missing item. I stopped as Miroku cornered the inside.

"Move it, Miroku. I got to get something for Kagome." Miroku just stood there. What the hell is his problem anyway? Did he not hear Kagome asking me to get her forgotten item? "I don't want to repeat it again, Miroku. Get the fuck out of the way."

"Inuyasha, I see that you did not hear my warning though that thick skull of yours. I must say that you are a brave man, standing up to my warning about leaving Sango alone."

"What the fuck are you saying, Miroku?! The only reason I was talking to Sango yesterday night, was that I needed to tell her something important! You know what, never mind. Just forget it, you wouldn't even care, if I told you anyway."

"I see, still putting up with the brave act. I can see through you, and I know that you are lying to me. Oh well, why should I even bother? Sango would never look your way and same for Kagome. Who would love a half breed like you anyway? Kikyou wanted you to be a human, because she was embarrassed to love a half breed. Just remember what I said, Inuyasha. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would love a half breed."

Was it true...about what Miroku said about Kikyou wanting me to be human? Should I believe him or should I not? Is it true that nobody, even Kagome, would love a half breed? I thought she was different. No, she is different. Everything Miroku is saying is all lies!

"Miroku, you might be right about Kikyou, but I know it would never be true about Kagome. Now move it or I will have to use force, and I don't want that to happen."

"Fine, suit yourself, Inuyasha. Don't believe me." I watched as Miroku moved away from the door. I went in and retrieved the missing item. I was beginning to go back out and head back to Kagome. "All I am saying, Inuyasha, is that you should watch your back. You may never know what may happen in the near future."

Was that a threat? Or was it a warning? "That might not be all true, Miroku. I kind of do know will happen in the near future. Just needed to tell you that." I walked away and started heading back to Kagome.

"Inuyasha, you're back. I was wondering what was taking so long. I was just about to head back to see if you alright. Oh, did you bring Miroku with you?" Kagome asked me.

"Don't need to worry about me, Kagome. I'm here." Miroku said waving at Kagome with an smile on his face, acting like nothing happened.

I looked up at the sky, the clouds were becoming gray, I knew it was going to rain sooner or later. "Kagome, we might want to do this another time." I said still looking at the sky.

"Why's that, Inuyasha? Do you sense a demon heading our way or something?" Kagome looked at me, wondering what was going to happen.

"It's going to rain, and you might not want to start making lunch out here. It would be better if we just head back to Kaede's hut." I said starting to walk back to Kaede's hut.

So, I guess telling Miroku about me dying went down the drain. Note to self, people that you think are your friends might actually be your foes. They might not even trust you at all.
