Hey... here I am with another chapter for you guys...

This one might not be as good, but it's needed...


Chapter Three- Secrets are Out

Kagome walked around the lobby, bored. There is no gambling that I see fun…She walked around the Venetian stores. I have to go back on duty later…might as well just walk around and shop, or whatever. Kagome continued walking past gift shops and souvenirs, and then walked around past the performers, until she found her friends.

"Hey Sango!" Sango turned around, with Ayame and Miroku on either side of her turning around as well.

"Hey Kagome!" They were standing there just as the performers had stopped singing.

"Ahh… Kagome, we meet again…" Miroku said. Kagome smiled and was about to reply, when she slapped Miroku instead.

"What a pleasure." Kagome said sarcastically. Ayame snickered, as Sango glowered at Miroku. Miroku gulped.

"I'm sorry. My hands have a mind of their own." Sango rolled her eyes and turned to Kagome.

"That's what he said the first time I slapped him."

"So how's things with Koga?" Miroku asked.

"You know Koga?" Kagome sounded rather surprised.

"Of course. Koga and I go way back. We went to high school together."

"Oh? He's never told me about you. Only times I hear about you are from Sango."

"Really?" Miroku asked, sarcastically acting heart-broken. "So how are things with Koga?" Kagome sighed.

"Alright I guess. I mean, Koga's a good one… but…"

"But what?" Ayame asked.

"But… I don't know. I just can't help but feel that something's wrong. Just today at lunch I smelled a familiar perfume on him. Very familiar." Kagome said, and then trailed off to something else about whether she loved Koga or not, having Ayame's gulp and sweat go unnoticed.

"Kagome… these things are going around, huh?" Miroku asked.

"What do you mean?"

"InuYasha feels the same way about his fiancé, and I keep telling him that—."

"InuYasha has a fiancé?" Kagome asked, quite surprised.

"You never knew?" Sango asked. Kagome shook her head. Miroku and Ayame looked just as surprised.

"InuYasha was engaged months ago, to Kikyo." Miroku explained. "But now, InuYasha's not sure if he still likes her."

"If InuYasha still likes who?" A voice asked. All four turned around.

"Oh InuYasha!" Miroku exclaimed. "I thought you went back to the hotel room…"

"I did, but I was looking all over for you trying to tell you that Yura kept calling you."

"But I haven't had a call on my cell."

"Duh fucktard. You left your cell phone in the room." InuYasha said, rather annoyed as he handed the cell phone to Miroku.

"It was driving me nuts. She called so many times; I had a mind to break this thing."

"Why didn't you just turn it off?" Miroku asked as he took the cell phone.

"I don't know. Guess I didn't think about that." InuYasha said, shrugging his shoulders. Miroku checked his cell phone, which read.

218 missed calls

Miroku gulped.

"Who's Yura?" Sango asked. Miroku turned around.

"Oh, just my secretary."

"How come I've never heard you talk about her?"

"She's just a secretary, no one important." Sango didn't buy that, even though it was true, but she just kept quiet. Kagome turned around, and met InuYasha face to face again.

"You again?" They shouted at the same time.

"This is the third time you've gotten in my way!" InuYasha yelled.

"Got in your way? The first time I met you, I actually cleaned that stinking room of yours!"

"You guys met three times?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah! In one day!" Kagome exclaimed. Sango and Ayame snickered, and Miroku had a look on his face that said 'I-think-I-sense-something-there'.

"What? What's so funny?" InuYasha asked. Sango was the first to speak up.

"There's a saying that goes 'If you meet a person three times a day, then it's not a coincidence, but destiny.'" Kagome and InuYasha exchanged looks, on the outside. On the inside, they were thinking.

Destiny? Really? He is kinda hot… but I have Koga.

Destiny? What a bunch of crap. So what if she's pretty, feisty, and smells rather good? I have Kikyo. Oh yeah… Kikyo…

"Hey you guys!" Ayame said, but they didn't respond. Miroku grinned.

"Hey, I think I see Ramen!" Miroku yelled out, and InuYasha turned around.

"Ramen? Where?" he asked, turning his head, and sniffing around. "I don't smell any…" He glowered at Miroku who was stifling a laugh. Next thing everyone knew was that Miroku had a bump on his head.

"Miroku, are you okay?" Sango yelled. Miroku shook his head.

"I guess… but… owwww…"

"Keh. Serves you right! Lying to me like that."

"Not my fault you and Kagome looked like you were about to lock lips any moment." Miroku countered, and that made Kagome blush lightly. Sango and Ayame continued to laugh, but InuYasha didn't look much happier, and left.

……………………………………………………………………

It was the evening, Miroku and InuYasha was in their hotel room, and rather hungry.

"How about if we order room service?" Miroku asked.

"Keh. Whatever." InuYasha said with a harsh tone.

"Are you still mad about this afternoon?" InuYasha grumbled.

"Who wouldn't be?"

"I was just joking around! Both of you guys are engaged anyways."

"Kagome's engaged?"

"Yeah, to Koga. I thought you knew that." InuYasha scoffed.

"Like I want to know about her." InuYasha said. There was a slight pause, until he spoke again.

"Who's she engaged to?" Miroku smirked.

"I thought you said that you didn't want to know."

"Oh just tell me who, ass."

"Koga." InuYasha gawked.

"That stinking wolf?"

"Why don't you like Koga?" Miroku asked.

"Keh. He smells bad."

"That's it?" Miroku asked. "He's not a bad person… except for some things…"

"What things?" InuYasha asked. Miroku grinned. Now he's interested…

"He's cheating on Kagome." InuYasha's face was screwed.

"He's WHAT!"

"He's cheating on Kags." He repeated.

"I heard that, dimwit." InuYasha yelled. "For who?"

"Ayame."

Silence.

"Aren't they best friends or something?"

"My, my, aren't you Mr. Observant."

"Shut up!" InuYasha yelled. "Just order the damn room service for our food." Then he grumbled something along the lines of 'you are such an ass sometimes.' Reluctant, Miroku phoned for dinner. He ordered, and soon, there was a knock on the door. Miroku got up and opened the door.

"Thank you for—Kagome?"

"Hey, Miroku. Here's your dinner. I'd never thought that someone in the Venetian would order Ramen, but I guess you like it a lot." Kagome said as she rolled in the cart of food. Miroku chuckled.

"No, the Ramen is for InuYasha." Kagome paused as she saw InuYasha get out of bed.

"Food finally came, eh Mir—you again? What is this? I'm calling and ordering for another maid." InuYasha complained as he got up. Kagome huffed.

"Whatever. If you can convince Koga, then I'd be happy to leave anyways." Kagome fibbed. InuYasha smirked.

"Fiancé of your boss, eh wench?" Miroku waved his hands back and forth behind Kagome as if saying 'don't InuYasha!" but he ignored him.

"So? What does it matter to you?" Kagome fumed. InuYasha leaned back on the bed.

"You do know the guy's cheating on you, right?" InuYasha replied matter-of-factly. Kagome blinked.

Everyone was quiet, and there was silence.


Yeah, I know, it's a bit short... sorry.

I don't usually ask this, but I need you to review. This one isn't as popular as Puppy Love, or Unexpected, and so I'm thinking about deleting this story... unless there are actually people that want this story...

Sorry, but I have enough stories to update, and with school on the way...

Anyways... Ja
