Authors note I do not own the original characters, but I own Kameko (Kagome's closest Friend), Mikago (Inu Yasha's older sister) and Taiya (a tiger demon) Oh and '…' means thought.
Kameko put her hands around Taiya's mouth.
" What do you think you're doing, yelling like that? I'm positive someone is going to come! Oh, I hope it's not him! I hope they don't get it!" Kameko yelled at Taiya.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it to become a yell! I was just…you know…surprised!" Taiya said in a quiet voice.
"Rrrrr, forget it! Just forget it! I don't care!"
"Oh, come on. Don't be like that! It was an accident!"
"Yeah, an accident that might result in people finding out the truth!"
"Sorry. Really, I am!"
"Whatever. Wait, I hear footsteps! Who is it?"
"It's just Kagome and Sango."
"Good. We'll just convince them that it wasn't what they thought!"
"Good idea. Here they come."
"Hey, Kameko, Taiya! Are you okay?" Kagome asked as soon as she got there.
"Huh? Yeah, we're fine. Why?"
"Well, we heard Taiya scream all the way from the hut," Sango responded.
"Oh. Sorry about that. Taiya was being stupid. I told her something that shocked a scream out of her."
"What was it?" Kagome asked.
"Well, did you know Kameko's secret?" Taiya said slyly.
"Don't…You…Dare! If you tell them, I swear I will hurt you!" Kameko said through gritted teeth.
"Okay…" Taiya said in a small voice.
"Um…Okay…if knowing is that dangerous, I don't want to know." Sango said, turning away.
"Is anyone else coming?" Kameko asked, slightly quiet.
"No…Why?"
"Well, if that's the case, I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to ever tell anyone!"
"Okay, we promise! What is it?" Sango and Kagome said in unison.
"Well, the truth is…I think Kikyo's feelings transferred through the years and since I'm the next Miko, I have the feelings the strongest."
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked, not catching on.
"What I'm talking about is…" Kameko told both of them the truth.
"Oh…I see…That's why Taiya screamed."
"It is pretty shocking. To hear from you."
"I know, I know. But I can't help it! It's not my fault!" Kameko said, a blush visible on her face.
'I feel really bad now. Kameko really likes Inu Yasha…but… He likes me. I know it. Well, he likes Kikyo and I, but still. Kameko's heart'll be broken. I don't want that to happen to my friend! But…what can I do?' Kagome thought to herself.
Kameko saw the thoughtful look on Kagome's face.
"What's wrong Kagome?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Don't mind me! I'm just thinking…"
"About what? What I just told you?"
"Yeah. It's still such a shock!"
"I guess you're right."
"So, Kameko, what are you going to do?" Sango asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you going to tell him!" Taiya explained in an almost-squeal.
"What! Of course not!"
"But what about Valentine's day?"
"Well, that's tomorrow. I don't need to worry about it yet!"
'That only gives me a few hours to think of something. What will I do to make sure Kameko's heart isn't broken? Maybe I'll ask Sango and Taiya for help. They can help me think up of something.'
The four girls sat at the riverbank, talking amongst themselves. Kagome was still trying to figure it out.
"Hey, uhm, Kameko?"
"Yeah Kagome?"
"Well… do you mind if I borrow the girls for a second?"
"Go ahead!"
"Thanks!" Kagome took the other girls to the side. "So...what are we going to do? She may like Inu Yasha, but I know that he likes me. If that's true, Kameko will get hurt."
"Well...The only thing I can think of is trying to get her to fall in love with someone else," Sango told them.
"Not a bad idea. Hey, Kagome, what kind of guy does Kameko like?" Taiya asked, turning to Kameko's best friend of the same time period.
"Well... I'm not entirely sure. Kameko never seemed all that much into the whole dating and love thing. I know she had a boyfriend back in America, but I don't know anything about him."
"So...now what? Should we just ask straight out?"
"Maybe..." The three girls looked at each other before walking back to Kameko and sitting with her.
"What were you talking about, guys?"
"Oh...nothing much. Hey, Kameko...?"
"Yeah?"
"What kinda guys do you like? You know, besides Inu Yasha."
"Huh? Hmm... I guess...Strong and cute...Protective of me...gets jealous if I'm around other guys. Someone who'll really love me because of who I am...Uhm... I guess just someone who will love me unconditionally." She said, a blush apparent on her face as she scratched the back of her head.
'Where am I going to find someone like that ?' all three girls wondered. They looked at each other, trying to think of anyone who was like that.
"Kameko-san!" All four girls turned towards the voice. Kameko groaned when she saw who it was.
"What do you want, Jin?"
"I just wanted to see you, Kameko-san!" Kameko sighed as she went to confront him.
"Why do you always bother me?"
"You were the one who freed me from the curse! Besides, I really care for you." The other girls all perked up when they heard this. This could be promising.
"All you want is a princess, which WILL NOT BE ME!"
"You misunderstand! I don't do this for want of a princess! I do this so I can be close to you!"
"Hey, Jin!" Kagome called out to him.
"Y-Yes?"
"What would you do if a powerful demon appeared right now?"
"Huh? What kind of question is that?"
"Just answer!"
"Oh! And what if it was going to attack Kameko?" Taiya interjected.
"I'd destroy it of course. I wouldn't let anything harm Kameko-san!" They three girl looked at each other and smiled.
"What if some other guy was here and tried to hit on Kameko?" Sango asked.
"What? WHO!"
"I don't know, just some guy."
"I'd never let anyone do that to Kameko-san!"
"So, why do you care about her so much?" Taiya asked the last question.
" W-well...I'm not so sure myself. I know that she's mean to me, but I still care for her."
The three girls crowded around Kameko.
"Excuse us for a second Jin."
"Uh...take your time?"
"What was that about!" Kameko asked, confused and dreading something that wasn't far off.
"Let's see, he's protective," Kagome started.
"He'd be jealous of any guy who gets near you," Sango added.
"And he loves you unconditionally!" Taiya ended.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"He's your perfect guy!" All three said, frustrated, in unison.
"N-NANI!"
A/N: There ya go. Now Kameko's heart may be prevented from breaking cuz of Inu Yasha! Now, how will I make her fall for Jin (Who none of you know... I'm gonna hafta write a story about him now too, huh? Okay! No problem! A one shot though.) Anyway, hope you liked it! Please review!
