Ch. 5. Rosemary's Love

Inuyasha and the others were still looking for Sesshomaru and the others. Inuyasha couldn't pick up there scent no matter what he did. And they had gotten into a fight with a demon that had poisoned Kagome. She lived but she was currently weak and unable to move much.

Inuyasha was sitting with Kagome, talking. Rosemary was busy listening in.

"Kagome," said Inuyasha. "I'm so glad you're going to be all right."

"Yeah," said Kagome. "Thanks for sitting with me. But-you don't have too. I-I don't feel right about. Inuyasha, I'm dating a boy in my time. Hojo. I don't think it's right for you to act like this around me. Like you want to get close to me. I don't feel right about it Inuyasha."

"What?" asked Inuyasha. "Get close to you? Heh, your just a friend. Nothing more."

Rosemary could tell he was lying, so as to not show his disappointment.

Rosemary walked away, thinking. If Kagome didn't like Inuyasha, that meant Inuyasha was available for her! She felt bad that Inuyasha now knew that Kagome didn't really have any interest in him anymore. But she felt glad for herself. It was complicated.

She found Inuyasha later, moping under a tree. She went up and asked what was wrong. He suddenly just poured his heart out to her about what had happened. She hadn't been expecting this, but she was glad Inuyasha felt comfortable to tell her his problems. Suddenly he started crying.

"I know I'm always mean and grouchy and I act like I don't care," he said. "But I actually liked Kagome. But she doesn't like me anymore. Now I feel alone."

Rosemary hugged him and made him feel better. Rosemary wanted to make him feel better because she couldn't bear to see him so sad.

Inuyasha told her he'd like to be left alone for a while. Rosemary left and went back to camp where Miroku was busy asking Rebecca to bear his children. The look on Rebecca's face and her shout of "No!" was enough to let Miroku know that she wasn't interested.

Rebecca ran off screaming about perverts and cradle robbers. Miroku turned to Rosemary.

"Miroku!" scolded Rosemary. "How dare you ask my little sister something like that? She's only twelve!"

"Quite old enough," said Miroku, gloomily.

Rosemary was to slap him. "Pervert!"

Miroku stepped up to her. "I'm sorry. Rosemary,"-he took her hands-"will you bear my children."

"You get rejected and then you ask someone else two minutes later!" shouted Rosemary. "You pervert!"

She stomped off; mad at Miroku for being such an idiot.

The day's passed. Rosemary forgave Miroku. Rosemary started hanging around Inuyasha even more. The two actually became good friends, much to Rosemary's delight...
