Change of Heart

Chapter Six

Kagome's P.O.V

I can't believe he left me, me of all people. I gave him everything he ever wanted, and that low life bastard just dropped me like I was nothing! While I'm thinking in my head these despising thoughts of Inuyasha, I bump into someone that I didn't see.

"Oh hello, I am terribly sorry, I didn't see you." The man says.

"No, no it was my fault." I rub my head and look up at the man. He is about four inches taller than me with short black hair and a small pony-tail in the back; he has a nice looking face, which is pleasing to the eyes. He is wearing black and purple clothing.

"Well what is someone as beautiful as you doing bumping into strangers?" The man asks.

"I was thinking, and I didn't see where I was going, I'm sorry." I do my best to say humbly.

I hear the man laugh softly and say, "It's perfectly alright, my name is Miroku, and yours?"

"I am Kagome."

"Kagome, what a very beautiful name indeed, care to walk with me?"

"Okay." I reply and we begin to walk in the opposite direction that I had previously been headed, back to my home.

While we were walking I noticed Miroku giving me odd glances, and before I knew it, he was touching my ass. I gasped and stepped away from him.

"What do you think you are doing?" I ask.

"You looked lonely; I only thought to accompany your back-end. But of course, please forgive me, I did not mean to be rude, most beautiful ladies I come in contact with do not seem to mind." Miroku told me after he had bowed slightly to me.

"I guess I could forgive you," we continued to walk, "You see, I was dropped by my fiancé recently and I am still getting over it." I tell him as I begin to play the pathetic role of being pitied.

"Oh I am so terribly sorry; I don't know why anyone would want to leave such unimaginable beauty."

I am startled by this response, "He was always mean to me, I don't know why, I loved him dearly." I start to pretend to cry.

"Oh my dear, please don't cry." Miroku says to me and wraps his arms around me. For some odd reason I actually like this. Before I knew it we were in front of my home.

"I have been looking for ye child." I hear Kaede's voice say from in front of us.

I look at her with despise, but I ask sweetly, "What do you need?"

"I have heard from Inuyasha, he says he will be returning today."

"So he decided to come back to me has he?"

"No I just came to pick up a few things that I left behind." Inuyasha's cold voice says from on top of my house's roof.

"Hello Inuyasha." I say to him. He just grunts in reply and jumps down and goes inside. He comes out in under two minutes, with a bag filled with some things, which belonged to him.

"I'll be going now."

"Excuse me, Inuyasha I believe it is." Miroku says standing in front of Inuyasha.

"What?" Inuyasha says and stops.

"Why would you leave such a beautiful maiden defenseless and not able to fend for her-self?"

"Excuse me?"

"I suggest ye child do not step on fragile ground." Kaede says to Miroku.

"No I would like to hear your reply as well Inuyasha" I step in and say.

Inuyasha turns to me, "You really are a pathetic bitch." My mouth opens to this. "You pushed me away, by trying to control me every step of our relationship." Inuyasha says as he steps closer to me.

"I most certainly did not."

"Actually child yes ye did." Kaede says, jumping into the matter.

"This damsel would never do such a thing."

"You don't even know the broad, so how can you say what she would do and not do?"

"I am a good judge of character." Miroku says.

"Don't give me that, who the hell are you anyway?"

"My name is Miroku." Before anyone has a chance to respond, Inuyasha made his move, and slammed his fist directly in Miroku's face, sending him flying backward and landing several feet away on his back.

"You low life son of a bitch, so you're the one that hurt Sango."

"What would you know about Sango?"

"That's none of your damn business." I see Inuyasha walk over to Miroku, who is now sitting up. He grabs him by the front of his clothing and pulls him up till he was standing, before slamming his hand into his stomach, making him double over on the ground in pain.

"You can do what you please with Kagome, but if you ever try and find Sango, or come anywhere near her, I'll kill you, do I make myself perfectly clear?"

"If you want that pathetic cry baby, you can have her; I got me something even better." Miroku says standing back up and holding on to his bruised stomach.

"Don't call her pathetic, she has more guts than you will ever have, both of you." Inuyasha says with disgust and looks at Kaede, "Good day old woman."

"Inuyasha." She replies back and nods her head toward him. Inuyasha runs and jumps, disappearing behind some huts and back into the forest. After that Kaede walks way, not bothering to say good bye to Kagome or Miroku.
