(A few cuss words… :o)
Summary: When Kagome finally has had enough of InuYasha sneaking off for Kikyou, she runs back to her time with barely concealed tears. She throws herself at her bed, crying for her and InuYasha's non-existent relationship. Kagome keeps saying to herself that she never met him; never loved him. Ever heard of the saying "Be careful what you wish for?" Kagome is finally able to live her life without the weight of loving someone who will never love her back. Is this a new chance for InuYasha to start over with Kagome I smell? Or will he leave Kagome forever for Kikyou? And what does Miroku have to do with all this?

A/n: I'm so mean to you guys… ;-; I don't deserve any of you. Well, I'll put a couple of sentences from the last chapter to refresh your memory. Since it's been so long. I apologize profusely!

ChApTeR:

This was truly the last and final straw of the whole thing, as a new emotion was added to the mix of depression, betrayal, and total helplessness.

Anger.

Loathing.

"InuYasha, I hate you! No, I loathe you! Never as long as I am alive and in control of my actions will I forgive you. You hear that? NEVER! I wish I never met you! I wish I never loved you! I wish I never laid my pathetic eyes upon you! I wish I could forget you even existed! I wish the name InuYasha would sound foreign to me; that it would disappear without a trace in my mind!"

Kagome couldn't remember a time that she hated and loved someone this much. She couldn't even remember a time where she hated and loved someone. All she knew was that she did now. And she wanted to forget it; forget him. So she repeated these words; over and over, until she drifted to sleep.

What followed the next day could only be described in four words.

Complete and utter chaos.

(Bu bu Bumm.)

"INUYASHA. What did you do this time!"

"Feh… I didn't do… Wait, why do you automatically think it's my doing, wench!"

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry InuYasha. Excuse me while I yell at the real culprit. I'm sure that squirrel over there made Kagome this depressed, so she wouldn't come back for a whole week. Miroku, come on, let's go terrorize the squirrel for making Kagome-chan cry."

"What? Oh… squirrel? Uhm… Sango… how did InuYasha manage to confuse you to think that a squirrel did that to Kagome instead of him? I can't even get you tobelieve I didn't touch you! Wow InuYasha… nice work. The monk is proud of his little hanyou."

Sango smacked her head with her forehead, while InuYasha looked at Miroku with narrowed eyes.

"InuYasha, what happened?"

"…" InuYasha didn't want to tell them. They would murder him! He was about ready to murder himself…

Sango rushed up to him, grabbing the collar of his red hakama. Pulling him up to eye level, she glared at him.

"I'm only asking this once more." InuYasha marveled at the seriousness of her voice. Who knew he wasn't the only one this protective? "What. Did. You. DO?" she questioned slowly, tightening her grip with every word.

"I… I… w-well, I- I didn't do any- feh!"

Sango intimidated him. And no, he wasn't afraid to admit it. Miroku knew all too well her intimidating…ness.

"INUYASHA. NOW."

"I… I… well, I said… I said…"

"You said…?" a fire burning in her eyes.

"I said… hi?"

"Do NOT make me go get my boomerang."

"I… I'm… I'm n-n-not afraid of ya! Yeah, that's right. I ain't afraid of ya." Defiantly and unsure, he stood up a bit straighter…

"INUYASHA."

…and slouched back down.

"I said hi to her and she ran!"

"INUYASHA!"

"Ok, ok! Feh."

Miroku came a little closer, wanting to hear the reason why their dear friend was crying.

"IwaswithKikyouandsaidafewthingsandshehearditandranoffandItriedtochaseafterherbutshewouldn'tcomeback." The hanyou pushed out in one breath, not looking anyone in the eye. Looking up to confused faces, the hanyou was quite proud of himself – to say the least. His chest puffed out with self confidence.

Sango looked at him, confused and stern.

"Now InuYasha… I didn't catch most of that, but I heard 'Kikyou', 'I', and 'said'. Knowing you, those words together equal trouble."

InuYasha let out a long sigh, lessening his puffed out chest quite a bit. Defeated, feeling ratherguiltier than before, and suddenly exhausted, he slumped down and crossed his legs, putting shaky hands inside his haori sleeves. Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself for what he was going to say.

"I told… I told… Kikyou… I loved her."

"WHAT!"

InuYasha gulped and debated to tell the rest of the story, fearing his safety from Sango. He decided to keep to this part, at least for the time being.

"You told that… thing…"

InuYasha glared at Sango upon hearing this, but did no more. He was in enough shit as it was.

"…That you loved her? In front of Kagome!"

"May I be so rude to interrupt, but hearing this I seem to think there is more to the story than what InuYasha is telling us…"

Flinching, he opened one eye to look at InuYasha, who chose to win "safety points" with Sango by not hitting the obnoxious monk. Instead, he glared heatedly at him.

"InuYasha, is this true?"

"No."

"InuYasha."

"I said NO!"

"InuYasha, there is more to it and you know it. Tell us now or I swear on Miroku's lecherous hand I will beat you down."

Miroku, looking incredulous at the fact that Sango would sacrifice his hand, self consiously moved away from the two of his comades incase there was bloodshed. Or Sango, coincidentally, decided to follow her words and cut his hand off.

Ouch. That might hurt.

InuYasha sat as stubborn as a rock. Albeit scared, he was determined to not reveal any more of his stupid and rash actions.

Sango sighed, not wanting to really hurt InuYasha. He looked pretty guilty, which might be enough punishment - for now, at least. Sango wanted to know the whole story. However much pain it brought InuYasha… well, it was part of the punishment. From the gist of it, and theloud crying they heard when Kagome briefly passed the woods where they weretaking a walk back to the village(Miroku could've sworn he saw a naked woman along with the noise of crying, but Sango passed it off as another one of his fantasies. Miroku protested verbally about the bump on his head after getting hit by the boomerang when they found out it actually was Kagome who was both crying and naked, finding her towel from her home and realizing, but Sango was too busy hunting for InuYasha), InuYasha hurt Kagome bad. Intentional or unintentional, she wanted to know why her friend was hurt. The whole reason.

Sango looked at Miroku pleadingly, but she was still a bit angry with InuYasha, so it turned out more like a scowl.

Miroku took one look at Sango's expression and – still uneasy from what she had said earlier – yelled, "SANGO! Please forgive this lowly monk, for he is shamed for what he has done. And this lowly monk would like to keep his lowly hand, not only for lecherous purposes mind you, but also to eat and put on my robes. I-"

Sango, confused, started to walk over to simply ask him for his help, which sent Miroku into a frenzied ramble, thinking of all the things he couldn't do without his hand.

"I know I grabbed that one girl, and the other, Sango, and the other. Oh, and a couple more. Ok, maybe hundreds! That doesn't stop me from… uh… riding cows! Yes, it's my past time! If you take my hand away, I won't be able to ride the cows! They have grown quite fond of me, and I of them, Sango. I'm not joking; ask the cows! They want my hand in one piece! They care for me. They do! This monk doesn't deserve their love. Oh, sure, they are not luscious, succulent women with the right curves in the right places – oh. Like that girl… what's her name? Cilia? They don't have curves and a nice rump like her, but they love me! They care for this lowly monk's-"

"Miroku."

"Yes, my one and only love who is the most beautiful one in the whole entire universe, including Cilia?"

Face red with anger, frustration, and embarrassment, shewhacked Mirokufrom the back of his head.

"I have no clue what you are blabbering on about, but I would kindly like your assistance in gathering information from InuYasha!" Sango whispered fiercely through clenched teeth, glancing over at InuYasha who was, at the time, moving slowly away towards the direction of the woods.

"If you think for one second, InuYasha, that you are leaving without telling me anything more, you are SADLY MISTAKEN!"

InuYasha's ears turned downwards, flinching at the loud noise of Sango's voice, slinked back into the clearing.

Sango turned her attention to Miroku, satisfied that InuYasha was not leaving for awhile, when she felt something groping her behind.

"Miroku."

"Yes Darling?"

"Do you not learn anything?"

"I will learn… if you teach me." He answered slyly, a suggestive tone evident in his voice.

Which earned him yet another bump, adding to the others on his head.

"Ah, love is a powerful being."

"I'll give you a powerful being."

"Shutting up, now."

"Good. You don't want more brain damage than you already have."
