REVIEWIES! YAAAAAAAAYNESS!
Okay, my sister (kpk) got Mulan II for Valentines Day… holy crap. I think Disney © finally figured out how to make a good sequel. I'm really glad too, since Mulan and Mulan II are my favorite Disney movies. Can you guess why?
ANYWAY! I have just gotten something called sygate firewall on my computer… holy crap does this thing work. It gives you a notice when anything outside of your computer is trying to get in… ANYTHING! The little pop-ups it sends to let you know get a little annoying, but the internet is SO much faster now.
Seriously, I am MAJORLY hyper-happy about getting a lot of reviews on this story. What's better is that Wind child is getting close to 300! This was not a part of the original plan, but hey, I can live with it perfectly.

CHAPTER 13 - Realization
(There has been slight time change)
Kagome lay on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. Even though it was past midnight, she just could get her mind to sleep. It was still raging on the earlier events that had to do with a certain hanyou. 'Thank goodness Yoshima 'stopped' me before I continued that sentence. How embarrassing would that have been… if Inuyasha had found out that I loved him… but, what if it wasn't? What if Inuyasha really does love me…?'
She frowned, rolling over on her side. 'No… Inuyasha still loves Kikyo, you dope. He's never gonna go for you… Even though technically speaking we have kissed already… Although, I'm not sure if that would count. I mean, I was the one kissing him while he was asleep on that hospital bed… And no one even saw… so… That basically never even happened…'
She sighed, and once again closed her eyes, begging for slumber to come. It didn't. It was almost as if sleep was refusing to let Kagome have its relaxing properties until she got something through her head. The miko was getting frustrated and desperate.
'WHAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO THINK ABOUT! I WANT TO SLEEP!… Okay girl, calm down… inhale, exhale…'
Kagome took a deep breath.
'Now… back to thinking…I was on… oh yeah, Inuyasha and Kikyo and crap… I want to believe that he does love me back… but… ugh, this is so frustrating.'
The miko sat up in her bed, undoing the covers. She slipped out of her bed, put on her nearby slippers, and left the room. If she couldn't sleep, might as well not be hungry at the same time.
Kagome found her way to the kitchen, and started searching around the pantry for some kind of quick and easy food. "Hmm… chips won't exactly fill what I want… Ick, I wonder how long THAT has been in there… I don't even want to know what that is… Oreos… I can work with that…"
The miko stood up, and placed the bag of Oreos on the nearby table. She walked over to the refrigerator and got out the milk jug. After pouring a glass of milk, Kagome put the jug back in the refrigerator, grabbed the bag of cookies, and headed back up to her room.
The miko closed the door to her room, got under her covers, and sighed. In truth, she had hoped that Inuyasha would have also been in the kitchen eating something. But of course, life isn't perfect.
She slowly let her gaze look over her room. Near her desk was an actual bed, with the youkai exterminator. Kagome thought back of when Sango had told her of how much she was in love with Miroku. 'At least he doesn't hide his feelings inside…' she thought, slightly smiling. Even though the houshi was a pervert, and certainly deserved some slapping sometimes, he really was a good person. When need be, 'he really can tell someone precisely what they want to hear, and then not grope them afterwards…'
The young miko thought back even more, remembering Sango telling her about what the monk had said to her about not having to die together after all. 'Perfect example…' she thought. He really was a sweet guy, not to mention rather comical at points. 'Sango, you certainly are lucky that he was the one you fell in love with…'
Kagome's eyes slightly went down, falling on the sleeping Sangarouka, unconscious on her raised futon. The miko took a bite of a milk soaked Oreo, going back into thought.
Morobuku, although the reincarnation of Miroku, really was a different person. The whole lecherous part was way lower, and he was a lot more knowledgeable. Kagome couldn't think of anyone who knew how to do all the stuff that Morobuku knew how to do. He was definitely a man that could practically do anything. From what she had been told, he had been trained growing up to be able lead an army into battle extremely out numbered, and come out on top. From the way she had seen him play chess, she could believe it.
Not only that, but Morobuku was a whiz at the computer. A while back, when Kagome had finished a research paper on Oda Nobunaga (does that name ring a bell?), the computer crashed. The paper was due the next day, and the miko had literally been crying over it. Well, Morobuku came in and said "No problem. The main hard drive probably just lost a connection with the memory board. I'll get it fixed in no time."
The monk's reincarnation had rolled up his sleeves, and broke out some weird equipment of his. Kagome had been watching puffy eyed as the teenage boy had opened up the pc, and started to look around at the works. "Wow, this thing is really messed up. I'm surprised it took it this long for it to crash, Kagome."
"It is?" she asked. The miko grabbed onto a nearby pillow and started hugging it. "Will you be able to fix it?"
"Yeah, but I could actually upgrade it. Or transfer all of the computer's memory onto a new computer if you wanted. Either way, I'll need to go down to the computer store and get a .003 screwdriver. What do you want?"
The miko looked around the room a little bit. "How can you upgrade it?"
"Anywhere from making it just plain faster to making the pc the shape of a pony."
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "I like the sound of that." She wiped her eyes, and started dragging the teenage boy to the front door. "Whoa, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? I'm going too! I wanna choose what this thing is going to look like!" She chirped, and pulled the boy out the door. Over the next hour or so, Morobuku and Kagome had been all over the entire commercial district, picking up computer supplies and exterior stuff. They had then taken it all home, and Kagome got to learn some things on building computer, since that is what happened. Morobuku actually built a new computer for Kagome and such. The new version had the pc about the size of a basketball, 'cept the bottom was flat, and was encased in clear plastic. The inside had neon lights attached to different parts of the pc, so when one part was working, it's specified light would flicker. The actual monitor though was something to behold. The monitor was the place where disks and such went in and all, but that was not alone. On the left side of the monitor were the separate cd and DVD drives, each with their own neon light. On the right side, though, was the floppy drive and printer. The part of the monitor that actually held it down to the computer desk was in truth the printer in hiding. Let's just say that the Higurashi new computer was 'tricked out'.
But Morobuku wasn't only a smart guy. The miko had seen him take Sangarouka out on dates on several different occasions. Of course, Sanga always told Kagome what happened, being the blabber mouth she was. It was always so amazing to her how often Morobuku did or said just what Sangarouka wanted to hear sometimes, like when he only pretended to forget about Sanga's birthday just so that he could surprise her with tickets to a theatrical show she had been wanting to see, along with apparently a VERY expensive dinner. 'He really is so sweet to her… If only…'
Kagome sighed. In her heart, she felt like she knew that Inuyasha would never be that considerate or sweet all the time. A pain slowly grew in her gut, one that twisted every time she thought about the hanyou. 'I… I love him so much… if only…'
Tears slowly slid down the miko's cheeks. Unlike other times, she made no attempt to hide them. She wrapped her arms around herself and bent legs, and simply cried. That always helped it seemed. When the miko couldn't get her feelings out into words or thoughts, actions could usually take up the issue.
Kagome wasn't entirely sad. She was just…disappointed. The feeling that griped her insides, the large lump in her throat the size of a volley ball, it was just inescapable. 'He won't ever change, will he?… Who am I kidding, it's Inuyasha. He's stubborn as hell, won't listen to practically anyone, and is an insensitive jerk…'
The miko continued to sob silently, completely unaware of a half demon watching her intently outside her window.
"But…" she whispered to herself. "But, he was even more so when we first met. Now a days… he can be kind and sweet at times. Not often, but-" she plopped another Oreo in her mouth.
"But at times… Not to mention how jealous he gets over me…" her tears were slowly fading as a small grin enveloped her face. "Like with Kouga and Hojo and stuff…" the miko slightly chuckled to herself.
Inuyasha continued to listen closely to the miko's words. Even with sensitive ears, the hanyou didn't have a wonderful time listening in on whispers. 'Maybe now I'll figure out who it is she loves so I can go kill him…'
"I will never forget how much that wolf and he get at it. Their arguing certainly gets amusing after a while…"
Inuyasha resisted a growl. 'She thinks it's funny! Rrrrrrrrrrrr….'
"Look at me; I really am some stupid little girl with a crush, talking to myself like this. Some real stupid girl with a crush on a guy that will never notice…"
'Here it comes…' Inuyasha thought to himself anxiously. 'The name of the guy I kill…'
"A guy that will never notice I'm in love with him. Nope, I don't think Inuyasha will ever figure out how much I love him…"
The hanyou's heart rate just went A-wall, along with his mouth dropping straight open. 'W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what?'
"Whoa, it's 2:30..." Kagome said to herself, yawning. "I wonder if I'll be able to sleep now…." the young miko slid back under her covers, and pulled them up to her chin. Within an instant she was unconscious.
Thus leaving the still in utter shock half demon with the impossibility to sleep.
