Author's note: Okay peeps! I have decided to continue on the story! If you haven't noticed, I deleted all those awful author's notes… xP So anyways.. The reason why I'm continuing on the with story is that I came up with a brilliant idea for the story line and decided to use it after all. Muwhahahaha!

Also.. I just want to thank all you readers and those who gave me great suggestions! I really appreciate it! Also and thank you for supporting me and stuff.. Please.. Keep reading!

By the way.. My writing style may have changed….. since it's been a year now.. And probably not as descriptive.. Because I've gotten lazy.. I hope that isn't a problem…. xD

The one and only disclaimer: Once again.. I don't own Inuyasha… if I did… the Anime series wouldn't have ended so soon.. v.v

Chapter 12: Mixed Emotions

Kagome's eyes snapped open as she hastily stood up, leaning against the door. She tried wiping away all of her tears with her hands. She looked wide eye at the person who dare to called out her name. Kagome tried to put on a fake smile. "I-Inuyasha.." She started, choking back all of her tears. "W-What… are you-" Before Kagome can say another word, Inuyasha interrupted her. "What the hell is wrong with you! Why are you crying! Tell me now!" He demanded, dreading the fact that she was crying.

"Why would you care?" She snapped. "You have Kikyou!"

Inuyasha just stood there in shock. "H-Huh..? What does Kikyou have to do with anything!" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't deny it! You love Kikyou don't you! I saw you and Kikyou hugging each other today!" Kagome glared.

"WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET ABOUT IT? IT'S NOT LIKE ME AND YOU ARE DATING OR ANYTHING!" Inuyasha yelled. "STOP ACTING LIKE A BABY AND-" Before Inuyasha was able to carry on, Kagome threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into a tight embrace. She sobbed uncontrollably into his chest. Inuyasha's face flustered deeply. "K-KAGOME?" He stammered. "W-WHAT THE-!"

"I LOVE YOU INUYASHA!" She cried, looking up at him with huge brown passionate eyes. Inuyasha's eyes widen in shock as his whole body stiffen. His face even becoming more flustered. "Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU LOVE ME! I-I-I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" He shoved Kagome away, making her fall onto the ground painfully. Kagome looked up at him with sorrowful eyes. "I-INUYASHA!"

"YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled, starting to freak out. He turned on his heels and hastily headed out the door, not bothering to look back at the disgraceful Kagome.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome couldn't believe what she just did. Confessing her love out to Inuyasha unexpectedly. Her heart even becoming more shattered as she felt that Inuyasha truly rejected her. She was right, maybe there is no room inside his heart besides Kikyou, that vile girl. "Inuyasha…" She whimpered as she pulled her legs up to her chest and sobbed silently to herself. 'Do.. do you really hate me…….?'

Inuyasha walked down the isolated street, with his head hanging low and his hands in his pocket. He was too deep in thought to even really care what his surroundings were or where he was going. He couldn't believe that Kagome told him that she loved him. It just came out of the blue. Inuyasha knew that he doesn't have feelings towards her that way, he only feels that way towards Kikyou so far. But why couldn't he get her out of his mind. "Damn it Kagome.." He mumbled. 'I don't like you that way.. I never will….. I mean.. it's not like we're close friends or anything.. So… how the hell-'

"I LOVE YOU INUYASHA!" Kagome's voice and image kept playing over and over in his mind.

'Damn it.. Why can I get her out of my mind…..!' He looked up to find himself bumping into someone. He looked to see it was Miroku. "OI Miroku! Watch where ya going!" Inuyasha snapped.

Miroku chuckled. "Excuse me? But was I the one who looked deep in thought?"

"Shut up!" Inuyasha growled as he shoved Miroku aside. "Go away!"

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Miroku blinked. "Is it… girl trouble..?" He then added with a raised eyebrow and a amusing smirk. "Because I'm good with girls!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "The only thing you're good at is being a pervert, lech!" Miroku frowned at the insult. "Don't be so cruel Inuyasha! I'm just being a faithful friend in the time of need and this is how you treat me!" He placed a hand on his chest, acting out like he was hurt and in pain by Inuyasha's cruel words.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes an annoyances once again. "Shut it! And plus it's really none of your personal business to be in my love life!"

"Oh.. yes it I! Oh! WAIT A MINUTE! T… think I know what the problem is…. You made love with KIKYOU AND GOT HER PREGNANT! DIDN'T YOU!" Miroku said, putting on a shocked face.

"WHAT! H-HELL NO! I-I NEVER MADE LOVE WITH ANYONE! YOU BAKA HENTAI!" Inuyasha shouted as his face began to blush deeply. He was ready to pound the monk to a bloody pulp. Miroku put his hands up in defense. "H-Hey! Wait a minute Inuyasha! I was only joking!" Miroku gave out a forced laugh. "Just come down!"

Inuyasha snorted as he crossed his arms over his chest, turning his head away from Miroku, his face still flustered.

"But seriously Inuyasha… what's bothering you..?" Miroku asked concernedly, placing a comforting hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha snorted and roughly brushed Miroku's hand aside. "Don't touch me!" 'Gah! Like I'm going to tell that lecture that Kagome said she loved me…eh…..'

Miroku sighed. He knew he wasn't getting anywhere with the stubborn hanyou. "So.. Are you still going to the dance with Kikyou..?"

"No.. she said that she had to leave town for a month to visit her sick aunt in Kyoto…." He sighed.

"Awww.. it's that what you were thinking about…?" He asked curiously.

"No….." He mumbled.

"Then.. what were you thinking-"

"LIKE I SAID! NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSSINESS!" He snapped.

"Well.. I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me!"

Inuyasha groaned as he stomped his foot on the ground, finally giving up. He had no choice but to or else he'll be stalked by a pervert man and that's just plain creepy. "FINE! YOU KNOW THAT ONE GIRL KAGOME THAT ALWAYS HANGS AROUND WITH SANGO!"

"Yeah…? What about Kagome..?" He asked anxiously.

"Well… ACK! SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE LOVED ME!"

"Eh?" Miroku's arched an eyebrow as he stared at Inuyasha wide eyes, with pure shock.

"That's what I'm so confused about! How the hell did she fall in love with me!" Inuyasha grunted as his face began to fluster again. "This is embarrassing!"

Miroku placed a thoughtful hand on his chin, in deep thought. "Maybe… you can go to the dance with Kagome?" He suggested with a slight grin. "I mean.. since Kikyou isn't around and you'll be dateless.. "

"NO! NEVER! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS MIROKU!"

"Why not!" Miroku pouted.

"Because I don't like her that way!" Inuyasha's right eye twitched.

"Or do you…?" Miroku gave Inuyasha one of those amusing grin.

"NO! I DON'T!" Inuyasha screamed as he tried to throw a hard punch into Miroku's face. But fortunately, Miroku was able to dodge in time before Inuyasha was able to land the punch. Miroku chuckled nervously. "Jeez Inuyasha… you have quite a temper there…." Inuyasha shook his fist at him angrily. "You want some of this!"

Miroku sweatdropped as he fearfully back away from the furious hanyou. 'Jeez.. For someone not liking Kagome.. He sure is sensitive about the idea of him even liking her...' Miroku thought.

Inuyasha calmed down a bit as he folded his arms over his chest again. "Feh!"

Miroku sighed disappointedly. "It would have actually been nice to see Inuyash and Kagome go to the dance together…." He then sweatdropped again as he saw Inuyasha shaking his fist angrily at him. "I CAN HEAR YOU YA DAMN LECTURE!" He pulled his fist backed as he turned away, blushing again. 'Heh.. It would actually be nice to go to go the dance with Kagome.. WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!" "GAH!" Inuyasha grabbed his hair with his hands, feeling frustrated. "NO! I DON'T LIKE KAGOME THAT WAY!" Some people that walked by the hanyou gave him strange looks.

Miroku smirked. 'I think we're getting somewhere….'
