Chapter 11-Busted
"Hello?" Kagome asked, listening for the caller's voice.
"Hey Kagome! What happened with you and Inuyasha yesterday?" Sango's voice rang through the receiver. Kagome's eyes flickered with guilt.
"Oh nothing really." Kagome tried to lie, though it was a useless attempt.
"Lying is not the key to happiness." Sango replied.
"Yea I know that. Oka, Inuyasha and I had a small argument."
"What did you do!"
"Me? Why are you blaming me first? I didn't say that I did anything."
"Well, when you lie, you either did something really bad, or you just wanted to keep it a secret. Since you already told me the secret without much persuasion, I know that you did something bad. Now just tell me what the hell you did so we can fix it."
"I didn't do anything! Well, at least not really bad." Sango just sighed.
"Now I know it was bad! God why do you do this stuff to me?" Kagome played with her phone cord, keeping her mind occupied.
"Oka, so I made a small mistake! Not like the end of the world had been quickened because of my slip of words. Give me a break here."
"You have no such luck."
"Believe me; I already knew I don't have luck. Anyways, I guess I said something to Inuyasha that upset him and he ended up walking off." Kagome explained.
"Well then that's the problem. What did you say to him?" Kagome only scratched her head in confusion.
"That's the problem! I'm not exactly sure what I said that upset him. I'm really just as confused as you are. I don't really know what I did or how it happened but it ended up with Inuyasha being mad with me." Why do I even care about it! Maybe because every time I think about it, a huge wave of guilt hits me. Kagome focused on her friend on the phone.
"I have a great idea. Why don't you come over and watch a movie with me? I have some horror flicks we can watch!" Kagome inwardly groaned.
"No way! You know how I am when it comes to horror movies!"
"Well it will get your mind off of Inuyasha right?" Kagome sighed in defeat.
"Fine, I'll come over and watch them with you in about an hour or so. But I warn you now, if I can't get to sleep because I'm afraid someone will kill me in my sleep, you are going to get it." Sango started laughing as she heard her friend hang up on her. With a plan already forming in her mind, Sango quickly dialed the memorized number or her boyfriend. The phone ran twice before a groggy voice answered.
"Hello?" Sango held her laughter in when she heard her boyfriend's half asleep voice.
"Please tell me that you weren't asleep!"
"And what if I was?" Miroku asked. Sango glanced at her clock, which now read 2pm.
"Do you know what time it is?" She asked.
"I'm guessing you're going to tell me?"
"2pm. But that's not why I called you! I have a question for you. Do you and Inuyasha want to come over to my house for some movies? I hate watching horror movies by myself, so I decided to ask some strong men to keep me safe…but when I couldn't find them, I called you up."
"Hey!" Sango could no longer hold in her laughter and broke into fits of giggles. "Oka San, what's your catch?"
"Who-what do you mean? I don't have a catch to hook you on. Do I even need a reason to ask you to come over?" She asked.
"Not for me, but when you tell me to bring on Inuyasha, I know you are also going to include Kagome in your little plan. Besides, the only time you ever invite me over is when you have some plan that you want me to help you with. And don't even bother trying to deny it, I know you better than anyone."
"Oka, so I am going to plan something. And yes it does involve Kagome, even though she doesn't know it yet. But it's for her own good! I just want to get Kagome and Inuyasha to stop their fighting!"
"Wait, what fighting?" Sango sighed at her boyfriend's clueless ness.
"Did you not notice that both Inuyasha and Kagome had left last night?" She asked.
"Nope, too busy with my new favorite pass time." Sango blushed slightly when Miroku brought up their actions from the night before. Miroku had decided that he wanted to skill himself on the art of kissing, and Sango was more than willing to help.
"Pervert, just make sure that Inuyasha comes to my house with you Oka?"
"Oh Oka. I'll tell him to come over a little bit later than me Oka? That way I can help if you go into a panicked frenzy like you do for everything else." Miroku hung up the phone with Sango and quickly called up Inuyasha.
"Hello?"
"Hey Inuyasha, it's Miroku. Do you want to come over to San's house to watch some horror movies?" Miroku asked.
"I guess, I mean I've got nothing better to do."
"Oh good. Hey Inuyasha, what's up with you? You seem a little out of it."
"What the hell are you talking about! I'm fine!" He snapped. Miroku winced, realizing that the situation was worse than he thought.
"Kagome problems...?"
"...That stupid wench..."
"Inuyasha let me explain something to you. Men are not meant to understand women. It's just the way things are. I mean, Sango wants to kill me one minute, and she's talking to me like nothing happened the next. But if I mention her being mad, she gets mad all over again!" Inuyasha smirked at his friend's confusion.
"I guess you're right."
"Of course I am! It's me!" Miroku laughed and continued. "Just meet me at San's in an hour."
"Oka, see ya then." Inuyasha hung up the phone, feeling slightly better than before. Not that he would admit the pervert did him a favor, but his best friend had made him realize that Kagome would not be easy to handle.
"Hurry up Miroku!" Sango was running around her house like she was in a marathon. Miroku was watching her as he put the popcorn on the table.
"Will you calm down?" Miroku asked. She quickly stopped in place as she looked over at Miroku.
"No." Was all she said before running around again.
"It isn't the big of a deal! Look, your plan is going to work so will you sit down!" Miroku grabbed Sango's arm before pulling her back onto the couch.
"What?" Sango asked.
"You need to relax. If your plan doesn't work, then it doesn't work. I bet it's going to." Sango looked at Miroku, smiling before nodding.
"Hello? Anyone home?" Sango squeaked and shot up from the couch, rushing into the kitchen. Miroku sighed and stretched on the couch, wondering the possibilities of Sango losing all her energy. He sat up and walked to the door, opening it to see Kagome.
"Oh Miroku, why are you here?" Kagome asked as she entered. Miroku just grinned.
"Sango plus movie equals me." Miroku walked over and sat back down onto the couch.
"Oh, so you're the only on here besides Sango?" Kagome asked.
"Yup." For now. Miroku's way of words were as tricky as Sango's plan. Sango came walking out of the kitchen and gently sat on the couch.
"Sorry I didn't tell you I didn't just invite you."
"It's oka." She replied. "So what movie do you want to watch?"
"We already have a horror movie in the DVD player." Miroku nodded with agreement. Just then, the doorbell went off.
"Oh I'll get it." Sango quickly ran over and opened the door. "Hey!" Sango quickly said as she opened the door wider.
"Hey, what movie are we watching?" Inuyasha was filled with warmness as he entered the house. But as he looked around, he felt something else tugging at him. Or rather, his nose. Even though the smell of popcorn was the first scent to hit his nose, he could clearly smell three other scents as well. That's odd, shouldn't there only be two?
"We're going to watch some horror movie. Miroku! Can you come here please?" Sango nodded towards the living room as Miroku walked up to her. "Inuyasha, why don't you wait for us in the living room?"
"Whatever." Was Inuyasha's reply. He walked into the room, hearing the couple snickered behind him.
For some strange reason, Kagome felt a wave of pleasant warmness washing over her body. Her once tense muscles relaxed greatly. But the rough voice that drifted in her ears caused her to look up.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha stopped abruptly, though he was still in sight.
"Inuyasha! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"They invited me over to watch a movie. You?" Inuyasha sat down on the couch, making Kagome jump slightly.
"Same. First Miroku, now you. I'm going to kill Sango!"
"You and me both." Inuyasha replied, though that was all that was said for a few moments.
"So…"
"So." Both fell silent again, their attempt for conversation futile. Finally, Kagome blurted the question that had been attacking her thoughts all day.
"Why are you so mad at me!"
"It depends. Why did you run away last night?" Inuyasha replied.
"I was a little worried Oka?"
"That was obvious. Why?"
"I don't know!"
"There must be a reason."
"Inuyasha, I really don't know what happened." Yes I do, but he doesn't have to know that.
"You know wench, Sango's right." Kagome's eyes grew curious.
"About what?"
"You are a horrible liar."
"I'm not lying! Don't you trust me."
"No." Inuyasha smirked. Kagome just glared at him before crossing her arms.
"I'm not going to tell you, so there!" Kagome replied. Feeling slightly aggravated, Inuyasha gave her a dangerous look.
"I'm going to find out. So we can do this the easy or hard way. It's your choice."
"Inuyasha, I'm not telling you." Kagome replied. She gave a final look, but it didn't faze him.
"That's it!" Inuyasha lunged forward and tackled Kagome to the ground. He pinned her arms to her sided and sat on her legs. Kagome blushed slightly at the position that the hanyou seemed to miss.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, trying to escape. Inuyasha's grip was stronger than she had anticipated.
"I'm not going to get off unless you tell me why you ran away." Kagome looked up to him, but only for a moment. Once he caught her eye, she turned away.
"It's nothing." Kagome replied.
"You always lie to me! Why do you have this desire to lie about every thing to me!"
"I…"
"Just tell me." The soft demand made her crack.
"I was worried like I said before."
"About? And don't waste our time by making shit up."
"About my feelings for you. I told you I couldn't get close, and yet you always make it seem so inviting! And I can't help but want to get closer, and that scares me. I've never felt like this before."
"Like I said in the tree?"
"Yes! I was just confused, I didn't get what was going on. In fact, I still don't really understand what is happening."
"You make it seem like I know something you don't about this shit! I don't even know what happened to make you leave."
"You don't get it Inuyasha! If I like you…" Kagome trailed off.
"Shut up, I'm sick of your damn excuses." Before Kagome could respond, Inuyasha closed the space between them. His lips pressed firmly, and some what demandingly, against her. Kagome's eyes shot wider in surprise. How did they get from arguing to kissing on the floor of her best friend's house! She realized quickly she didn't care as she slowly closed her eyes. Inuyasha released his grip on her, which gave her arms the ability to circle his neck tightly.
"Now what do we have here?" Miroku asked, slightly amused at the way they two separated so quickly. Both teen scrambled to their feet, though the damage was already done.
"I can't believe you were right Miroku..." Sango laughed as both of her friends faces heated up.
"Oh shut up." Inuyasha mumbled. He hated admitting it, he knew how bad his blush was, though he tried to ignore it. "Can we just watch the movie now?"
"Sure!" Sango said, seeing the desperate look in Kagome's eyes. Before anyone could move, the doorbell rang again.
"Sango, how many people did you invite?" Miroku asked.
"That's probably Sesshoumaru. I met him a couple days ago at the store, and he told me how he knew you Miroku. So I invited him to come after you guys." Sango said cheerfully replied before walking to the door, surprise filling her eyes when she realized who it was. It wasn't Sesshoumaru, but Kikyo and her friend. "What are you doing here?"
"We heard you all were watching a movie together. We decided to come and see it too." Kikyo walked into the room with her close behind.
"Hi Miroku." Kagura said, winking at him. Miroku just weakly smiled. Kagura had black hair with deep red eyes, who thought she was better at everything than anyone.
"Do not ignore me like I'm not here. What kind of movie have you idiots chosen?" Sesshoumaru said as he entered the house.
"It's a horror movie. And only Miroku and Inuyasha are the idiots." Sango replied.
"Hey!" Both boys shouted, causing Sesshoumaru to smirk.
"I would have to agree with the human on that."
"Do you really want to start this Sesshoumaru? I'll kick your ass!"
"Boys!" Kagome stepped in when she noticed Inuyasha growling. "Aren't we supposed to be watching a movie?"
"Then lets stop standing here and lets go watch it!" Someone said in the doorway. Heads turned as they looked at the shadowy figure. Kagome was the first one to recognize her.
"Rin?" She asked. The figure stepped into the light.
"In the flesh. I'm back!" Rin said as she ran over to Kagome. Kagome squealed in excitement and hugged her friend tightly.
"Oh my god! When did you get home!"
"Just today! I'm so happy to-who are these people and what are they doing in Sango's house?" Rin looked around at the new faces. "I only know you, Sango, and Miroku."
"Well you should sadly remember Kikyo, but that's Kagura, one of Kikyo's friends. The one next to her is Sesshoumaru, whose one of the new neighbors. And last but not least, Inuyasha just moved into the neighborhood about a week and a half ago. Him and Sesshoumaru are brothers."
"I can tell by the hair...Well hi! I'm Rin, I just went to Florida with my family but I finally came back. Has anything happened since I was gone?" Kagome blushed as she shook her head. Before she could deny anything, Sango butted in.
"More than you can imagine. And half of it has to do with our little Kagome." Sango said as Kagome pouted.
"Just because I'm younger than you by one month does not make me little!" Kagome said, causing Rin to laugh. Kagome couldn't help but smile at her good friend, though she noticed a certain someone was watching her with interest. "Something wrong Inuyasha?"
"I've just never seen you this excited before." Inuyasha replied. Kagome only blush and giggled. Another strange look passed Inuyasha's face as he stepped back. "Or this giddy."
"I'll tell you what happened with her and that kid later on." Sango whispered to Rin, who only nodded.
"Tell me after the movie." Sango bobbed her head and walked into the living room. The others followed quickly. Sango jumped on the couch and grabbed the remote.
"Well everyone better sit down so we can start the movie." Miroku went over and sat down on the couch next to Sango. Kagome sat in front of Sango on the floor, Rin on her right and Inuyasha on her left. On Inuyasha's left was Kikyo.
"Do you expect me to sit on the floor?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Just sit done anywhere." Kagome replied. Sesshoumaru sighed and sat down next to Rin. Kagura sat on the other side of Miroku. The whole room fell silent, waiting for the movie to start. Suddenly, Kagome realized something.
"Rin, what movie is this again?"
"Um…Sesshoumaru, what movie is this?" Rin asked quietly.
"Freddy Verses Jason." Sesshoumaru replied. Kagome and Rin both tensed.
"I forgot it was a horror movie!" Kagome whispered. Rin only looked at her friend.
"Well, it could be worse. And when I think of how it could be worse, I'll tell you." Rin said as she movie started.
Scene Change
"He killed her!" Rin squeaked out as she clung to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru looked at her as if she had grown three heads. It was amazing he even put up with her, since he hated most humans. Kagome would have laughed if she wasn't scared stiff. As another person got killed, Kagome shut her eyes and clung to the closest thing. She didn't notice that what she was holding was Inuyasha. Her eyes were still closed, but if opened, she would of seen Inuyasha's dark blush.
"Tell me when it's over." She whimpered.
"Um..." Was all Inuyasha said. Sango contained her laughter as she looked at the odd couples.
"How sweet." Sango said. She looked over at her secret boyfriend to see Kagura hanging on him like a child on the monkey bars. Sango's temper rose slightly, though she tried to keep calm. Kagura gave a quick yelp, clinging to Miroku and snuggling closer to him.
"Miroku, can I see you in the hall?" Sango stoop up and walked into the hallways with Miroku close behind. When they were out of the other's hearing range, Sango slowly turned to face her boyfriend.
"What are you doing in there!" Sango asked.
"Nothing." Miroku replied.
"Nothing!" Miroku, your letting Kagura hang all over you. Stop it."
"Look, they don't know we're going out. We have to act like we aren't going out, but now I'm pretty sure it's obvious." Miroku replied. Sango flushed at her mistake.
"I totally forgot! I just figured that since Kagome and Inuyasha know about us, then Kikyo would know too. I'm so dumb." Miroku only shook his head as he reach out to her, pulling her into a warm hug.
"You're not dumb Sango. No matter what anyone says, you're brilliant." How is it that Miroku can say something like this and make me forget about everything else? Sango thought as she pulled away.
"We should get back to the movie before they suspect even more." Miroku nodded and followed Sango back into the room. Heads turned their attention from the screen to the couple as they sat down. Kagome just smiled and went back to watching the movie, which she regretted instantly. Once again she was in Inuyasha's side, though she felt his arm slip behind her and pull her closer. Probably more comfortable for him. She thought, though her heart hardly bought it.
"So what were you talking about?" Kagura asked Miroku.
"Nothing you need to know about." Miroku replied. Miroku stole a glance at Sango and winked. Sango smiled warmly in return. Kagura sent a scowl Sango's way as continued to watch the movie. Sango just smirked at Kagura's pout. Knowing Kagura, she's still going to try to get Miroku even when she does find out we're together. Too bad Miroku's not like that...I hope Sango thought to herself.
"You think Kagura knows? About Miroku and San?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.
"I don't think so." Inuyasha replied.
"How do you figure?"
"Well Kagura would of just come out and said it right there don't you think?"
"Yea you're right. But how long before she finds out?"
"Maybe a week, a month or maybe today. If you keep your mouth shut then she won't know."
"Me! I would never tell her about it!"
"Can you two be quiet? I'm trying to watch this stupid movie." Rin said, her eyes staying shut. Kagome sighed but refrained from talking as she tried to watch the gruesome movie.
And that's the end of that chapter! I don't really know when the last time I updated was, but I'm sure that is couldn't have been TOO long ago. If it was then I'm really sorry about that! Didn't mean to I swear! Anyways, hope you liked this chapter, the next one is coming out soon.
