Disclaimer- I don't own these characters.

A/N- 2:40 Am January 2, 2005. I'm trying to write as many chapters as I can. Sorry again dammit! I didn't get any chapters up winter break. No excuses I was lazy. I'm writing now and I'll try to post a new chapter every Sunday. Hopefully this will work out. Oh and off the subject and for no reason I'm going to say this, when I was in geometry I was being paranoid because I didn't want to pay attention because I hate Mr. Jahns (isn't it funny that my brother just told me that he hated Mr. Jahns too.) anyway I started to stare at the ceiling when I noticed that in the light thing there was a red blinky light. I think there is a camera in the room and it is watching us. So I flipped it off. Oh the nail on my middle finger on my right hand broke down really really low so I have been flipping people off all break saying, "look at my finger'" It is so fun. Sadly though it is starting to get long again. Damn. Anyway enjoy. Read and review.

Chapter 14- It's Only Just Beginning

Part 2-My Darling I Can't Admit It but I Treasure You So

The bell after fifth period was bitter sweet for Kagome. On the one hand she got out of school at 12:30, but on the worse end she was locked in until 3:00. There was a carnival all over the campus. Students jumped up and ran out of the classroom. Kagome had been half asleep so she missed the bell at first what woke her up was the running. She quickly shoved her notebook into her bag and walked quickly through the rows. She took her half finished essay she had been writing and left it on the stack on the teacher's desk.

"Good luck tonight Ms. Higurashi." He smiled at her momentarily. Kagome smiled meekly for a second acting like a normal school girl.

"Thank you Mr. Shinohara. " Kagome bowed to show her respect and walked out of the room. When she open the door two guys pounced on her.

"Excuse me, miss, is this Mrs. Haro's class?" One of the guys who was holding a huge duffel bag with the words 'go shinkon high' embroidered on it.

"Mrs. Haro? No she's in the 700 building, 719 I think, second floor." Kagome answered while walking toward the stairs.

"Dude I told you." the other guy said to the one carrying the duffel bag. They followed Kagome down the stairs. Kagome was headed across the campus toward the only unlocked bathroom. She didn't think about them following her since the stairs she was going down were close to the building they were looking for.

When she stepped of the stairs she maneuvered through the flocks of people toward the bathroom. The two guys were gone.

Kagome silenced her phone repeatedly on her way across the campus, all Sango. Kagome pushed the door open and was surprised to find it empty.

"Inuyasha calm down. I'm sure Kagome's alright." Sango tried to calm the distraught boy. Inuyasha looked at her with wild eyes.

"I saw someone Sango. Kagome's not safe alone on this campus. Call her again." He demanded.

"Demanding thing aren't you?" Sango mumbled while she punched Kagome's number into her cell. "Hey Kagome, it's me again. Look Inuyasha going nuts over here so wherever you are please hurry up. I'm alone with this psycho here."

"I got her voice mail again. Sorry Inuyasha." Sango put her phone down.

"Call again." He demanded looking over the sea of high school aged kids.

"No I'm gonna go eat something I'm starving." Sango said as she took out a string of brightly colored tickets out of her purse and walked toward the booths.

"Fine I don't want your help." Inuyasha called after her. Sango flipped her hand at him without turning around. His phone rang shrilly in his ears. He picked it up and answered it roughly. "What?" He growled.

"Geez, what's your problem?" Miroku's voice rang on the phone.

"None of yours, now what do you want?"

"I feel so unwanted now. My own friend." Miroku whined on the phone.

"What the hell do you want Miroku, I'm kinda busy here."

"I just called to find out if everything was alright. Seems logical that this would be the time He's been waiting for."

"That's the problem Kagome's no where to be found."

"What? What do you mean by 'no where to be found' Dammit."

"It's that stupid homecoming carnival and I can't find Kagome in the crowd. Sango says she's probably alright."

"…" There was a heavy breathing on the phone and Miroku was completely silent.

"Say something dammit!"

"Tonight is your deadline isn't it?" Miroku asked suddenly.

"…" Inuyasha was silent. He felt his throat close up on him.

"Answer me Inuyasha." Miroku demanded in a cold voice.

"I'll take care of her till you get back." Till Forever he thought silently.

"If a man wants what he thinks he wants then he must get up and act, not give up. It is all right to wish for a thing; more to the point though is to back up the wish with something real. As well, a man must do all of his own work. No one can do it for him. As he seeks the right way and does the work that is to be done, he shall find a suitable, if not desirable path to travel down. Still, it is up to the man to do all of his work."

"Damn, that was philosophical. Who'd you steal it from?"

"Actually I stole most of it from a typing prompt in the computer lab. I did add words to it and took out the 'you can do it' typing crap. But don't let that take out the meaning of what I said Inuyasha."

"Whatever, I've gotta go. See you later."

"Yup. Later." Miroku said before he hung up and the line went dead.

Sango was eating on the walkway of the 800 building which over looked the rides at the carnival. She sighed as she watched couples getting on and off the Ferris wheel. She remembered in her first year at Shinkon high, Miroku took her on the Ferris wheel. He was completely sober of any substance and it was magical. It also broke down so they were stuck on top for an hour. Miroku started to lean near Sango, but then the ride jerked forward and went around extremely fast and she screamed and clung to him as the wheel repeatedly went around at increasing speeds. He patted her hair as she buried her head into his chest. After ten minutes they finally got the Ferris wheel working again and they were able to get off.

After that Sango never saw Miroku sober. His eyes were always glazed. He grabbed her ass all the time but there was never the real Miroku. He came and went like some imaginary phantasm.

The doctors at the clinic had told them they could visit Miroku. Miroku demanded that no one visit him until after October. He said he didn't want anyone to see him that way anymore. They had all agreed that day, but Sango was going tonight.

"I'll leave after Kagome and Ayame leave for the crowning. Kagome will probably be occupied with Inuyasha, so she won't notice me leaving. Ayame has Kouga so she won't mind. The three of them will all be back stage so I'll be alone to take off. All I have to do is find some reason to bring my car too. Easy enough, then I get to see Miroku." Sango was talking to herself as she watched the turning wheel. With just the early formation of the plan, she felt better.

A/N- In the next chapter: Inuyasha finally finds Kagome. Takashin makes his entrance.
