A/N: Whoa. Few hours up and I get about 4 reviews. Su-goi! That's great. Now, I left a cliffie (I guess cause some of you are saying that...) so I will get on to the shout-outs and then start the chapter.

Sangolover4eva2004: lol! I am updating soon, so I hope this won't turn out to be THAT much of a cliffie... and cliffies help with the business... hah.

Soru Skellington: YAY!! Thank you so much. Well, you reviewed this time and that's great. I'm glad I made you... "eep." I think. Lol.

Animekraze: Hee. Arigatou?

Lady Sango 7: Yes!! They kissed, how... lovely. ::shifty eyes:: lol. Please do get on AIM... lol. Now would be a good time. ::watches as "Lady Sango 7 signs on":: Whoa. Psychic.

Disclaimer: I don't own it, but I own a LOT of books and some plushies. ::snuggle::

Well, on to the chapter!

I couldn't believe it. HE was kissing my best friend. My best friend was kissing the guy I liked. She knew, no less!! I was so frustrated, so... agonized. They didn't see me until I gasped, barely audible. They broke away from each other unwillingly, and goggled at me.

I just stared, their unnerving glances making me shiver and want to run. I wanted to deal with this though...

I confronted them.

I won't be a coward any longer. I refuse to hide my feelings. I strode over to them with anger clearly etched on my face.

He hadn't come back because of her. He had not returned to her when he saw Sango. He saw her and his brain turned to mush. Now his head would.

"Inuyasha." My voice was mainly a growl; it contained hurt and resentment and fear. 'What did I walk into?' my softer side whispered, quite afraid of losing both of their friendships.

'You walked into a trap, a mystery,' her other voice argued, bitterness inside.

'I don't care. Shouldn't I ask what they think? What they were doing?!'

'No. Just stride over to them and ask them what the heck is going on.'

'I can't. No! They'll hate me; I'll have no more friends. If I find out... what if... if he does love her, I can't do anything! I can't stay... anymore. I can't come back. It would hurt too much.'

All this was floating in my mind as I struggled to keep my face as calm as possible. I wanted to approach them with a sure, resolute posture, not a cowering, blustering, worry-sick girl.

"Inuyasha, Sango! I demand to know what's going on!!" I yelled, knowing that this was NOT what I wanted. Hopefully they were just whispering into each other's ears, planning something on Miroku, on me, on Kikyou... anyone... just not KISSING.

"Nothing was going on, Kagome," Inuyasha said, eyes ablaze.

"Kagome...chan..." Sango whispered, eyes full of hurt and regret.

'No... this isn't happening. This just isn't HAPPENING! He CAN'T love her! I love him... I love him so, so much... so much it hurts. I'm jealous. I can't stay. They're lying. They've kissed before. They've done this BEFORE. Sango's betrayed me, and Inuyasha... he's lied to me from the very beginning.'

"Kagome-chan!!" Sango rasped out, and I looked up, startled. "I'm... really, really sorry. I hurt... you. Very badly, it seems..." Sango then gave a ghost of a smile and passed out.

Inuyasha stood there, arguing with himself.

And that's when Miroku stepped into the clearing.

A/N: I'm feeling so bad right now and so angry and this baka thing DIED on me but then it recovered so ha. And I think I'm going insane everything's driving me nuts. Everything's crashing down upon me and I've fallen into a one-sided love...

Please, R&R, onegai...

That's all for today.
