A/N: Hey everybody! Now I have been told from a few of my friends that I should have put in character descriptions, but ya know I figured that you know what the characters looked like. I mean every time I read a fic with character descriptions in the beginning like their physical appearance I get really bored. So I figured I would describe people as we go along with our fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Co. plez read and review.

"Talking"

'thinking'

Love and Friendship Go Hand in Hand

Chapter 3: Forgive, but how can I forget?

The drive over to Inuyasha's place was a silent one. Kagome had fallen asleep in the car and Inuyasha was still blaming himself. When they arrived Inuyasha carefully picked up Kagome out of the car and led Miroku and Sango to his room. Inuyasha laid Kagome on the bed and put his blanket over her and brushed a few strands of hair out of her eyes.

'Kagome...how could I have let this happen to you?' Inuyasha thought to himself, looking down at his best friend.

School had gotten out a long time ago and it was already 7:00 PM.

"Inuyasha, may I have a word with you?" Miroku asked, walking into his bedroom with a very serious look upon his face.

"Whatever you have to say can be said here," Inuyasha answered not even looking at Miroku.

"Inuyasha I insist that we take this into another room," Miroku's voice was very stern, as if commanding Inuyasha.

"It's ok Inuyasha, I'll watch Kagome-chan while you talk to Miroku," Sango said standing up from her sitting position on the other side of the room.

"Ok, but come and get me if she wakes up," Inuyasha told her before stepping out of the room.

Inuyasha led Miroku into a secret room that only close family and friends knew about.

"Ok Miroku, what's so important?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Look Inuyasha, you can't keep hurting Kagome-sama like this," Miroku said straight out.

"What the hell are you talking about Miroku?" Inuyasha was very annoyed.

"You still do not understand? What are we going to do about you Inuyasha? If you do not figure this out, Kagome may never be truly happy," Miroku said in a moderate tone.

Before Inuyasha could say anything Sango entered the room.

"Inuyasha, Kagome is awake. She needs you," Sango informed.

Inuyasha gave Miroku a quick glance and ran back to his room. When Inuyasha entered the room, Kagome was sitting up in bed, fear written all over her face.

"Inuyasha..." She whispered his name, Kagome really needed his comfort right now.

Inuyasha walked over to the bed and pulled Kagome into his arms, as if to protect her from everything around them.

"Kagome, Gomen...if I wasn't such a bastard this would have never happened, I would have protected you," Inuyasha said in a quiet voice.

"No Inuyasha, this is not your fault. This was mine, I shouldn't have said those things about Kikyou. I promised you when you first started dating her that I would be nice to her and not say anything. I broke my promise, to you and I'm sorry." Kagome's bangs covered her pain stricken eyes.

Inuyasha used his index finger to pull her face up so he could look into her chocolate brown eyes. They stared into each others eyes for a long time, not one of them saying anything. Their faces inching closer and closer together, when the tone to the song "Yeah" by Usher started to play. It was Inuyasha's cell phone.

Kagome sighed, 'Let me guess who it is, Kikyou, Kikyou, and...lets see...Kikyou?'

"Hello?" Inuyasha answered.

"Inu-chan where are you?"

"Kikyou, I'm busy right now."

"Where were you? You were supposed to drive me home! You're with Kagome aren't you? You hate me!"

"No! No, Kikyou. I love you."

Kagome's breath caught in her throat. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? This can't be happening.

"Really Inu-chan?"

"Of course Kikyou, I love you and only you."

Kagome couldn't believe her ears. She felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart with a knife. She couldn't sit here and listen to this she had to go, she opened Inuyasha's window and walked on the little bit of roof that was there and climbed down a tree that was right next to the house.

"Oh Inu-chan! I love you too! I'll see you tomorrow kay?"

"Ok bye Kikyou."

"Love you bye!"

After putting his cell phone back in his pant pocket, he turned around to go back to talking with Kagome, when he was greeted by an empty room. The window was wide open, his shades blowing in the wind.

'Kagome left, but why? Why would she leave without telling me? What's going on?' Inuyasha thought to himself.

Sango and Miroku walked into the room to check up on the couple, when they also saw that Kagome was no longer in the room.

"Hey Inuyasha, where's Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.

"She left.." Inuyasha answered quietly.

"What did you do this time Inuyasha?" Miroku sighed.

"What do you mean what did I do! What makes you think that she left because of me!" Inuyasha snapped.

Both Miroku and Sango gave him a look that said, "Oh please, don't give me that shit."

"I bet Kikyou had something to do with this," Sango stated.

Inuyasha stayed silent, before saying, "All that happened is that Kikyou called and I answered, and when I turned around Kagome was gone."

"Inuyasha, just out of pure curiosity what did you say to Kikyou?" Miroku looked at Inuyasha with a look saying "Please don't have said anything stupid."

"I just told Kikyou I loved her what's the big deal?" Inuyasha crossed his arms, with a pissed off look.

Sango smacked her hand to her face out of irritation. Miroku just closed his eyes and tried to stay calm, not looking at Inuyasha, because if he did, he might have to kill him.

"What!" Inuyasha bellowed.

"What do you mean what? What could you have been possibly thinking! YOU...YOU..URGH! THERE IS NOT EVEN A WORD THAT EXPRESSES WHAT YOU TRULY ARE!" Sango screamed back.

"What the fuck are you screaming about!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Inuyasha, you can't seriously tell me that you have no idea what's going on." Miroku stated.

"I have no idea what the hell is going on, but one of you better start explaining right now," Inuyasha commanded.

"Inuyasha, you have done it now. You have just lost, a great girl. Now you may never get another chance." Miroku answered.

"Inuyasha, did it ever occur to you that Kagome-chan really CARES about you? Hmm? Did it?" Sango pestered.

"Yeah I know she cares about me. I care about her too," Inuyasha denied.

"Really? You have one hell of a way of showing it, you have crushed her, how she puts up with you I will never understand. I'm going home now. I'll call Kagome-chan tomorrow to check up on her." Sango left the room and went home.

"Miroku, does Kagome really care about me that much?" Inuyasha asked under his breath.

"Yes she does, very much. Even more then I think you will ever know. If she didn't she wouldn't have been able to put up with all this pain, that you put her through." Miroku closed his eyes in stress.

"Miroku, I have screwed this up haven't I?"

"In a way you did Inuyasha, but that only depends if you meant what you said," Miroku added.

"What do you mean?"

"Inuyasha, you can't have both girls. It's either Kagome-sama or Kikyou, you have to decide who means more to you. You can't just go around saying things you don't mean." Miroku said his goodbye and headed home.

Once everyone was gone, Inuyasha had some alone time to think. He sat on his bed and laid down. The smelt of Kagome engulfed him. He could just lay there for hours, smelling her sent. Did that mean that he loved her or did it just mean that she smelt good? Looking out the window at the full moon, it's light glowing over the world.

At the same time, Kagome was walking home, tears spilling freely down her face. Why did Inuyasha have to love Kikyou and not her? Why did she have to fall in love with her best friend? The pain was too much to bare for her. She looked up at the beautiful full moon above her head with longing in her eyes. Wishing that things weren't this way.

Destroying the depressing silence Kagome's cell phone started to ring. The caller I.D. said "Private number," she answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Listen and listen carefully, don't tell anyone what you know about me. If you do I'll kill everyone you love starting with Inuyasha, just like I did with your father." The voice said harshly over the phone.

"Naraku..." Kagome stuttered.

"Good, you remember me. You will be seeing me soon Kagome. Don't try calling the cops or anything stupid or your precious friends, family, and your beloved Inuyasha dies. I'll be watching you," Click. Naraku hung up the phone.
