Love Me
Chapter 10: A Friendly Ending
(She woke and told Sango what had happened. She only shook her head.)
Sango: You still have your date with Miroku and Naraku! BAKA! Why did you say that?!
Kagome: Because it's true! I'm letting Miroku go I don't care what Naraku does or what he says. I won't hurt Inuyasha. I'll end Miroku tonight and tomorrow…Naraku…
Sango: What if Naraku has a problem with it and doesn't want to call it off?
Kagome: He'll understand but if he disagrees I'll just … walk away…or report him…
Sango: KAGOME!! You'd do that?!?! I can't believe you above all people would do that!
Kagome: I only want Inuyasha I don't care for anyone else…and besides the year is almost up, I'll never see Mr. Naraku again after I graduate so…yeah.
Sango: ok...I just hope you know what you're doing Kagome…
Kagome: I do…now help me get dressed!
(She arrived at the restaurant Miroku and she had agreed on. She saw him sitting in the corner table with a nervous look on his face. He smiled at Kagome with nervousness. She sat down at the table and looked at Miroku trying to hide her suspicion.)
Miroku: How have you been Kagome?
Kagome: Fine Miroku, and you?
Miroku: Just fine.
(They ordered and at in silence, 'Now Kagi! Tell him now before it's too late.' She told herself over and over again.)
Kagome: Miroku…there's something I need to tell you…
Miroku: Yes, as do I.
Kagome: Oh? Why don't you go first?
Miroku: oh no…you said something first…please I insist.
Kagome: I want you to go first please.
Miroku: I've been seeing someone this past few days Kagome…I am sorry…please forgive me.
(Kagome felt relieved a bit, she decided to not say anything about Inuyasha.)
Kagome: it's alright Miroku…I feel we need to see other people anyway…
Miroku: You do?
Kagome: I hope you're not offended…
Miroku: Not at all, the feeling is mutual.
Kagome: So tell me about this new lady.
Miroku: You wish to speak of her?
Kagome: Why not? It'd just be as though we are friends and I hope we can still be friends, Miroku.
(He looked at her and they exchanged nods. To make it 'official' he took his glass of water, picked it up to make a toast.)
Miroku: To a new friendship!
Kagome: To a new friendship!
(They clanked glasses and took sips and set them down. He told her about his new love. But he never really mentioned her name, but whoever she was. Kagome could tell that she really loves him and he her. Kagome even gave him some helpful advise she was happy for him, he finally found some one, besides her, to bare him children. At the end of their dinner Miroku walked Kagome to her car and planted a friendly kiss on her cheek.)
Miroku: Thank you for understanding Kagome.
Kagome: Thank you for understanding. How bout next week we all have dinner together?
Miroku: Sounds like a splendid idea Kagome. Same time, same place?
Kagome: Why not?
Miroku: very well, see you then!
(She nodded gave him a hug and drove away to Sango's telling her what happened)
Sango: I can't believe it! He cheated on you!
Kagome: We weren't together! Anyway He's completely fine with everything and I'm scheduled to have dinner with this new girl friend
(Sango looked at Kagome then looked away from her ashamed.)
Sango: I bet I know who this woman is …
Kagome: how Sango…?
(Sango's cell phone rang She read the number then let Kagome read it. It was Miroku's. Kagome was shocked, her best friend? She should have felt betrayed but instead she was glad, she'd rather have her best friend have him then anyone else in the world. She knew Sango wanted him, now she has him and Kagome couldn't be happier for her. She gave the phone back to Sango and she answered it. Miroku had filled her in about the meeting him and Kagome had set up she had already told him that she was aware of it already. Kagome was listening to their conversation while changing into her night clothes. Sango had finally gotten off the phone with Miroku and looked at Kagome with sorry eyes.)
Kagome: I'm not mad or upset…I'm happy for you…the both of you. I honestly couldn't care who he dates but if it's going to be you I'm happy. Ok?
Sango: Ok…thanks Kagome you're a good friend but I-
Kagome: There's no need for an apology Sango, I'm happy, you're happy, and he's happy that's all that matters now.
(She climbs into the extra bed Sango had laid out for her. She slid under the covers and closed her eyes.)
Kagome: Besides I have Inuyasha now… and nothing could make me happier.
Sango: Thank you Kagome…thanks a lot.
Kagome: Good night Sango.
Sango: Good night Kagome…
(They were about to fall asleep until Kagome sat up quickly in her bed, Sango looked at her.)
Sango: What is it Kagome?
Kagome: YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN!!?!?!
Sango: I thought you were ok with it?!
Kagome: I am…but it just now hit me that you want to have his kids…oh well! Good night!
(She laid back down, and Sango sat up confused, 'What's wrong with wanting to have his children?' she thought. She reached over to turn the light on, Kagome hid her face under the covers.)
Sango: What's so wrong with wanting to have his kids?
Kagome: Nothing, now turn the light off and go to bed…
Sango: No! I want to know!!
Kagome: Good night Sango!
Sango: Kagome! Answer me!
Kagome: Good Night Sango!!
Sango: ('grr!')Good night Kagome…
