Chapter 5:

Disclaimer: You know I don't own beans so why must I state so? It's cruel to humanity.

Kagome couldn't stand leaving the house for school. It was agony for her to be away from Sango. No one at school knew about it, but she still felt so alone. Even with Sesshomaru. But his company was much wanted. She needed comfort. She visited Sango after school every day still, and really loved it when Miroku would talk too.

One day Kagome invited Sesshomaru to their conversation. She had no clue it would start a debate. "So, homework is hard tonight isn't it?", she asked. "Only to some people. To me it is very easy. You just don't have the thought to memorize every intricate detail in the teachers directions." Sesshomaru always had a comeback, even though this one made little sense. And poor Miroku and Sango were just sitting there, Miroku watching and Sango in 'deep thought'. The argument got louder and wittier on Kagome's part. "Excuse me, but if I'm not mistaken, it would seem the two of you like each other. I think the match would be perfect. Mrs. Witty and Mr. Ignorant." Miroku was awarded by three knocks on the head. One from Kagome and two from Sesshomaru. "Why'd you hit me twice?" Sesshomaru looked at him icily. "One for that comment of taste and two for calling Kagome and I names." Miroku gave a nervous laugh, and stumbled upwards. "I think we should go now. We can visit Sango tomorrow." They all stood to leave, but Kagome stayed behind.

"Hey, Sesshomaru, where's Kagome?" Sesshomaru looked around. "She must have stayed behind. I'll go get her." He ran down the hall back to Sango's room. There stood Kagome, looking at Sango. "I miss you Sango. Please come back to us soon." "We all miss her Kagome." She looked up, a little frightened. "I know. But you didn't know her the way I did. She's the sweetest girl alive." Sesshomaru put his hand on her shoulder. "I find that hard to believe." Kagome looked at him with a look of protest. He shook his head. "That's because you are the sweetest girl alive. Not to many people would get revenge for a friend by facing bullies, nor would they talk to their friend that lies practically dead on a cot." Kagome couldn't stop herself. Tears ran down her cheek, as she buried her head in his chest.

Sesshomaru rubbed her back and laid his head on hers. "Kagome, ummm, remember what Miroku said earlier about liking each other." She nodded her head against his chest. "Could we try to like each other that way. We both need that kind of comfort. And already I feel that way about you." Kagome blushed at his words while he donned no tint of red, just a determined face. "I would accept, but I don't know how true your words are. It may bring us comfort to have someone to love, but if it doesn't last, both of us might become even more hurt." "Kagome, I.." "And I don't want that. Not again." "But Kagome, I love you." She fell backwards at his words, gasping. How was she supposed to respond to that? Like in the movies? 'I love you too!' No. She didn't know what to think. She walked past him. "Let's catch up to Miroku." He followed, a little hurt by her failure to respond.

In the car, Miroku would say something, and then Kagome would give little replies. He quickly got out when they arrived to his stop, not liking the tension at all. He left them with a little farewell, sending them odd looks as they pulled off.

'I don't know what to think. I like him, but I've always thought about him as just a friend. He did show hurt when I didn't respond. I don't want to hurt him like that but also I don't want either of us to get hurt by dating.'

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru's still form as he drove. They were nearing her shrine. She had to make up her mind. Soon.

He pulled up close to the steps to let her out. "Bye Kagome." His voice was a little stiff as he started to pull off. "Wait. I love you too Sesshomaru."

That was fun to write. But I have to go to school, so bye!!!!
