CHAPTER 28:
CONFESSION ! ! ! !
* * * * * *
" I . . . Inuyasha!!"
" Hah?" Inuyasha lazily turns around to find Kagome. " Kagome? What's up?"
" Umm . . ." He noticed her acting strange . . . as though she was being nervous and hesitant about something.
Kagome closed her eyes as she took in a few breaths, " I . . . I want to talk to you . . . about . . . something."
" ?" Inuyasha makes a confused expression as he follows her.
They arrived in an empty classroom, Kagome still her back faced to Inuyasha as she held a hand over her pounding chest.
" Ah . . . so . . . Kagome, " Inuyasha spoke up, scratching his cheeks and looking around, " What's that something you want to tell me?"
Kagome finally gathers her courage and turns to him, " Inuyasha . . ."
" . . . ."
She smiles nervously as she tries to hide her red face, " Umm, how should I say this? You remember the time when I first transferred here . . . you so suddenly hugged me thinking I was Kikyou?"
" . . . yeah. Hey, sorry about that. I didn't mean to . . ."
" No no! It's not like I'm mad or anything . . . I just . . ." Kagome sighs, " You know . . . the thing that really frustrated me was that you only hugged me because you thought I was Kikyou . . . not because of who I am."
" Kagome . . ."
" No no! It's not a complaint or anything. I was just well . . . angry because you know . . . I've never been hugged by a guy . . .even from my father. But, anyways, I was just upset for being hugged by mistake . . ."
Inuyasha silently stares at Kagome, but soon widens his eyes seeing tears flowed from her face. " Ka . . . Kagome!!?"
Kagome shook her head, " Inuyasha . . . I just wanted to tell you this. Before I just hurt myself even more . . . that I . . . love you."
" Eh?"
" I love you . . . Inuyasha. I . . . really love you, " Kagome closed her eyes as tears bursts from her eyes.
" Ka . . . gome?"
" It's not like I want you to break up with Kikyou. I can't say that your happiness is my happiness . . . but," she smiles with tears flowing, " As long as I see you smile . . . I don't care. I don't care if I don't get loved back . . . I don't care if I have to watch you two together . . . as long as you're smiling, I don't care."
She walks over to Inuyasha who watches blankly, " I'm sorry, Inuyasha. Only if . . . if I could have told you this sooner . . . I wouldn't make you suffer. I'm sorry."
She wraps her arms around him feeling his warmth.
" . . . What are you being sorry about?"
" Eh?" Kagome looks up.
" It's me who is suppose to apologize…I made you suffer like this. I didn't know your feelings so . . . I made you like this. Torn apart . . . mentally distressed . . .," Inuyasha wiped her tears and hugs her tightly to his chest. " I'm sorry. I'm really . . .sorry." Tears flowed from Inuyasha's eyes as they dropped on Kagome's cheeks.
" Inuyasha . . . please . . ."
Do you know how lonely I was without Inuyasha at the hospital? Inuyasha is the only thing in my life that makes me feel alive! Without him . . . I am DEAD!!
Kikyou's desperate words flowed in Kagome's mind as she separated from Inuyasha. " Inuyasha . . . you can't. Kikyou . . ."
" Kagome . . ."
" I love you Inuyasha . . . but I don't want to see anyone hurt because of me. Kikyou needs you . . . you . . . need Kikyou."
She bit her lip to hold down the urge to hug Inuyasha, " I don't want anyone to be sad . . ."
There was an awkward silence between them when the door suddenly opened and Mr. Hiten came in, surprised.
" What are you two doing here?" He asked folding his arms, " Class has already started."
" We'll be going, sir!" She turns to Inuyasha, " Let's go!"
" Eh? But . . . "
" Come! On!" Kagome pushed Inuyasha out of the room and was about to leave when she remembered something. " Oh!"
She quickly turns to Mr. Hiten, " By the way, Congratulations for your proposal to Ms. Yura!!"
" What!!?" Inuyasha shouted in surprise.
" Just get to class, you two!" Mr. Hiten shouted as though to hide his embarrassment.
Kagome giggled, " I think I know why Ms. Yura loves you."
With that the two left. Mr. Hiten watches them with his pokerface as he reached for something in his inner pockets.
He takes out a small black box and opens it. There was a small, but shiny silver ring in it with a diamond on the middle. The diamond glittered everytime it touches the light.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Are you Hiten!? That Raijuu Hiten!? Remember me? Yura, Sakasagami Yura! Your High School classmate!
I'm glad we were able to meet again . . . and glad that we could be together again . . . like in High School.
I love you . . . Hiten. Would you please . . . go out with me?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mr. Hiten smirked as he tossed the black box inside his desk drawer, " Now . . . shall we get to business?"
* * * * * * *
" M . . . Miroku, I got something to tell you," Sango spoke up with her face red with embarrassment.
" And what may that be?" Miroku turned to her with his angelic smile.
" . . . You're thinking of something perverted, aren't you?" Sango glared at him in a weird way.
" Oh, Sango!!" Miroku grabbed her hand, which made the Taijiya girl blush, " I would NEVER do something like that! Especially to you . . ."
Sango looks up to see the unusual serious expression of Miroku. " Are you . . . lying?"
Miroku smiles nervously, " I would never . . . ." He pulls her closer and hugs her, " Because I love you, my dear Sango."
" Eh?"
Miroku releases her and looks at her straight into the eyes, " I'm sorry for such a sudden thing . . . but it is the truth. I love you so dearly . . . that I would do anything to make you happy."
" Miroku . . ."
" I know it is a bit too early . . . but, when we grow older . . . would you . . . marry me? And live your whole life with me? Together?"
Tears flowed from Sango's eyes. She pushes her face into Miroku's chest as though to hide her tears.
" Sango? Are you okay?"
" . . . . yes." Sango lifts her face and looks into Miroku's eyes, " Yes, I'm fine."
" Well?" Miroku leaned closer to, waiting for an answer.
Sango blushed, " You know . . . it's really funny. All this time . . . I always thought my love will never be answered back because you're always flirting with other girls. I always thought that . . . you never had any feelings for me."
" Sango . . .?"
" But now . . ." Tears flowed down her cheeks again, " I can finally confess my feelings towards you. . . . I love you, Houshi Miroku. And only you."
Miroku's expression brightens as he hugs her closer. " SO will you marry me?"
" Yes."
" And make a lot of kids!!?"
" Yes!! As many as you like!"
" Sango!!"
Miroku tightens the grasp around her as Sango tried to struggle free.
" M . . . Miroku! Can't . . . . breathe!!"
" Oh! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
" * cough cough * It's okay!! I'm * cough * fine!"
Sango then takes Miroku's hand, her eyes sparkling, " Then that means that once you confessed your love towards me . . . that means that you'll stop flirting with other girls, right!!?"
" Huh!!?" Miroku makes a comically surprised expression.
" You. Will. Stop. Right?" Sango glares, leaning closer to him every word.
" Ummm, what were we talking about again?" Miroku said not looking into Sango's eyes.
' So you are! ' Sango thought angrily. " Miroku!!"
" Aaaaaah! Forgive me, Sango!!!"
* * * * * * * *
" Inuyasha . . . is there something wrong?"
" Huh?" Inuyasha was snapped back to reality, hearing Kikyou's voice. " Yeah . . ."
Kikyou stared at him, " No, it's not okay."
" Wha . . .?"
" It's that Kagome girl, again, isn't it!? Inuyasha! She has nothing to do with us! Why are you thinking about her!!?"
" I . . . I wasn't thinking about her!!"
" You're lying! I can tell!" Kikyou suddenly makes a sad expression and hugs Inuyasha, " Inuyasha . . . please . . . don't leave me. Don't make me alone. I don't want to be alone again. Please . . ."
" Kikyou . . ."
" Please . . . I beg of you." She leans over to kiss Inuyasha.
" Kikyou . . ."
But was interrupted by a voice. They both turned to see a man around the 30's standing, wearing a black business-man looking suit.
" Father!!" Kikyou's expression brightens. She ran over to him and hugs him tightly.
Inuyasha walked up and bowed his head, " It's been a long time, sir."
" Inuyasha . . . was your name, was it? I'm sorry . . . I'm been really busy with my work so my memory is a little . . ."
" It's okay, Father. Inuyasha doesn't mind," Kikyou smiled. The man smiled and patted her head. He had short, but little messy black hair and blue, navy eyes.
" By the way, what makes you come here? I thought you were in Europe doing your work, Father?"
The man smiled nervously, " I came here . . . to get something, my dear. Something . . . really important."
" Oh . . . and what is that?"
" Haha . . . I can't simply tell you that. It's top secret."
Kikyou frowned and then releases her father. She then walks over to Inuyasha, " Father! I want to tell you something! Inuyasha and I . . . are going out again!"
The man widen his eyes in surprise but soon smiles, " That is very nice, Kikyou. Inuyasha . . . please take care of my daughter. She really needs someone like you."
"Umm . . . yes," Inuyasha smiled nervously, scratching his cheek.
" Now I must be going. Be careful going home, Kikyou." said the man and turns to leave.
" Do not worry, father! I'll have Inuyasha drop me." She looks at Inuyasha and smiles.
" Wha . . . But I gotta go . . ."
" Oh come on, it's not that far! Let's go eat some ice cream first!"
" K . . . Kikyou!"
* * * * * * *
A figure was watching Inuyasha being pulled away and gritted his teeth in anger. He then jumps down the tree landing on the ground with a thud.
" Damn that stupid, Inuyasha." Kouga narrowed his eyes angrily, " How dare he betrayed Kagome! Does he even know Kagome loves him!!? Stupid, Inukkoro!"
Kouga then runs towards the school.
' My feelings for Kagome is still the same . . . I don't care if she won't love me back. I don't freakin' care! But . . . if anyone hurts her or even make her cry . . . they'll pay for that!!' He glances where Inuyasha and Kikyou had left, ' And that goes to you . . . Inuyasha!!!'

Well . . . here's the 28th chapter. I think on the next chapter . . . some of the mysteries will be solved. I'm not sure if I can promise that though . . .
Finally, Kagome and Sango had confessed their love! It took long . . .
On the Miroku and Sango confession scene . . . I kinda took some parts from the manga cause I thought it was really funny. Hope you guys are okay with that.
Oh and uh . . . sorry it's so sudden but, I decided to change the storyline of this story … or you could say the plot.
Don't worry . . . it's still gonna be a high school fic. With just a little ( although maybe not little) twist in it.
I just simply got bored writing a normal high school fic . . . I'm usually into action and so on. So . . . there's gonna be . . . a lot of violence in the later chapters . . . and the story may not only center into high schools . . .I'll be putting other stuffs like normal high school fics won't have.
There's gonna be a lot of fighting . . . cussing . . .of course, I'll be putting in romance . . .there will be mysteries . . .and angst/ some tragic scenes. That's the most part of the story . . . humor . . . hmm . . . first of all, I'm not good at humors so I hardly put humor scenes . . . but I'll try.
So, I hope you guys will still read this story with these changes. And I thank everyone for reviewing . . . if you want to know what happens or who these mysterious figures I'm always putting in are . . . then you should keep reading.
Once again . . . I thank everyone! Until the next chapter . . . bye!!
