Nothin In The Chapter Has Changed...I just Wanna Point Out Something. It seems has reached its "best error" SEE! Everytime you have the damn quotations it does this freaky thing...I'm really sorry this has messed it up so much (i did nothing...when i typed this out...I actually HAD quotations not mumbo-jumbo.) Anyway, this error attacked mine and alot of other fics. I'm reporting this error like...in a few seconds so sorry this has ruined it. (i'll be back in 4120198341872 years! XD as one of my fans said!)

"MUWAHAHA! This seems unfair…I'm so sorry I'm so late with a chapter. Please forgive me…my computer I had been using was 'fried more the KFC' (as Aero once said…you GOTTA check out his story Kagraku. Oh yeah! Anyway…) but I got a temporary lap top and I'm getting a Dell soon so I can say "Dude, I got a Dell!" like in the commercial with the…eh, never mind.

"I laughed at the reviews. Actually laughed like "hee hee hee hee he-e-e-e-e-e!-!-!-!" Foolish FANS! You think you know how the story is playing out…well that just doesn't sit right with me. I have twisted things so much JUST because I'm so e-e-e-e-e-e-evil like that. Hee hee! Once again, I'm so sorry."

BUT before that I sorta wanna make a correction here…I've studied deeper into high school life and it seems that Japanese high schoolers start High school when they're 16! It's because of the system…they have a summer break in August when it lasts only a month and they move up a grade higher in April (the 16th or 6th I think…). Ain't that odd? Hmmm!

Challenge!

Chapter 8!(Finally)

Kagome followed Sango as she went to open the door. Sango took a second to peek through the peek-hole in the door then open them. "Finally."

Kagome stood there while Sango greeted someone (or someones as I should say) then stepped to the side.

And Kagome could've has just died right there.

For Miroku's little friend that tagged along was no one other than ……..(I love dragging things on and making everyone feel so anxious and they get mad at me like "WOULD YOU JUST GET TO THE POINT ALREADY?-!" (lmao) but I digress, I must get back to the fic because I can tell, and you are all quite steamed so let's back things up just a bit.)

…No one other than…

Koga. (OH HOW THE TIDE HAS CHANGED!)

Kagome felt her eye twitch. "Oh its…you…heh heh heh…" Sango seemed to have the same attitude Kagome did, only she let it show with a sour look on her face. "Just what is he doing here?" Miroku shrugged. "It's so confusing. Why don't you ask him?"

Koga ran right past Sango (who could have killed him with the look she gave him when he did that) and over to Kagome, taking her hands in his.(what the hell is new?) "Because I want to prove one more time how much you mean to me."

Kagome sweat dropped. "W-what…?" Sango held the door wide opened. "You had your chance…now get out." Miroku sweat dropped next. "Easy Sango…"

"You said it yourself, he's bad news!" Sango hissed back at him. Miroku held up his hands to defend himself. "Now when did I say that?"

"You did!" Sango assured him. Miroku backed away from her. "Okay, okay I did!"

Meanwhile…

Kagome had tiny little sweat droplets all over her. Koga was rambling on how "barbaric he had acted" and "how if she only knew how much he admired her that…" and "it was all that dumb orphan boys fault for butting in" and how "he just wanted one more chance" and wait—.

"Did you say orphan?" Kagome asked, a little stunned. Koga blinked. "Yeah, why?" Kagome looked over at Sango. "Is he even talking about the same guy anymore?"

Sango nodded. "Afraid so, Kagome. You mean you didn't know? You've been here long enough…"

"Since summer break but still, I didn't know that…that…" Kagome looked down at her feet. InuYasha…he has no parents?

LINE BREAK

Kagome and Miroku peered around the corner. "This is where he lives?" Kagome asked. Miroku nodded. "Yep. I've only been here twice though." They were standing in front of an old apartment building (uh…I guess the same one as the thing with the whole ghost child and Soul Piper and what not…so yeah…eh, don't you hate these A/N?)

Kagome was surprised. "And you've known him how long?" Miroku gave her a look that said he didn't appreciate the sarcasm but smiled. "Let's go."

Inside, Miroku knocked on an apartment door up two floors. Kagome looked around. After about twenty seconds she sighed. "Are you sure this is even it?" Miroku scratched his head. "No I'm sure—."

The door opened and they were greeted by a very unhappy looking InuYasha. "You two? What are you doing here?"

Miroku tried to do this too-happy fake smile. "You're home!"

"Duh. Where the hell else would I be?"

Kagome sighed. This is going no where fast. She clapped her hands together. "We thought it would be nice if you were with us at Sango's."

"Who's us? You and Miroku?"

"And Koga." Miroku added.

InuYasha glared. "You're kidding."

"Afraid not." Miroku said. "But who knows, he's either gone already or Sango killed him."

Kagome nodded. "If he's smart, he would've left when we did."

"Then he's dead." InuYasha muttered. Miroku nodded. Kagome exhaled, frustrated. "Will you please just come back with us?"

InuYasha scratched his head. "I don't know…" Miroku held out his hands to his side. "C'mon, what better way to ring in the New Year than with your friends?"

"Uh…sleeping?"

Sweatdrop. Miroku forced a smile. "Well, I guess that too." Kagome stepped beside him. "C'mon! It's the New Year!"

"Oh great…a whole year has passed and I'm still breathing…this does call for a celebration." InuYasha replied sarcastically. Kagome's little head vein popped. "Would you stop with the sarcasm? Why don't you just come with us and you'll see…okay?"

Miroku nodded, agreeing with her silently. InuYasha looked down at the flood. "I'll see you at school." And shut the door.

LINE BREAK

Kagome had her hands shoved into her jacket and she watched the ground all the way back to Sango's house—excuse me, mansion. "Do you feel bad?"

Miroku's question snapped her out of her thoughts. "What? Oh…yeah, sort of."

"Don't. He's always been stubborn. It's just who he is."

Kagome pulled her hands out of her pocket and made a fist. "Yeah but still, he can't accept a simple offer, a token of friendship? What the heck is wrong with him anyway?"

Miroku gave her a look and Kagome stopped talking. "Sorry." He shrugged. "It's alright. I see how it is anyway."

Kagome blinked at him. "See how…what is? What are you talking about?" Miroku smiled to himself and walked ahead of her with a new sense of knowing. "You know."

"If I did, I wouldn't be asking." Kagome said and ran to catch up with him. Miroku shrugged, that smug little smile still on his face. "You'll see."

Vein Pop. "See what! Miroku? Miroku!"

But Miroku didn't answer. He walked in silence, smiling to himself, all the way to the front porch of Sango's mansion.

LINE BREAK

HOO HA! 4—count 'em—4 PAGES! Okay…mostly 3 but still! My absence has been long and it calls for 10, maybe 11 pages! But trust me…this is a good place to stop. What does that lil' Miroku know anyway? An update will be soon! (promise!)
