I let Miroku drive because I was a nervous wreck. I was clinging onto to him when we stopped at Kouga's house. His car was in the driveway so that meant him and Inuyasha had beat us there.
Disturbed was blasting through one of the windows on the second story. Ah, so many nights I snuck into that window…
"Kagome?" Miroku was looking back at me.
"Yeah?"
"You don't have to do this, you know. I can just kick Kouga's ass and then we can go." His eyes hardened. Miroku really didn't like Kouga.
"No, we're going. Come on." I released Miroku and got off my motorcycle. I waited for Miroku to get off and we walked to the front door together. I rolled my eyes. There would be no point in knocking. They wouldn't hear it. I twisted the knob and the door opened. I guess Kouga had left it open on purpose.
I looked around to check if his parentals were home. They weren't so I headed to the stairs, Miroku followed after me.
When I got to Kouga's door I took a deep breath and opened it. Kouga was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling and Inuyasha was sitting at Kouga's desk on the computer. Alerted at our presence Kouga sat up and signaled Inuyasha to turn down the music. "Hey."
"Alright," Everyone turned their attention to Miroku the wise. Feel free to roll your eyes. Hey, that rhymed! "I think Inuyasha and Kagome should talk first. So she can fill him in to what's going on. I'm sure you're confused, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Hold up." I said. "Like I'm going to leave you here alone with Kouga." I semi-glared at Miroku. I was still kind of protective over the dumb oaf.
"It's alright, Kags." Kouga said. I almost told him not to call me Kags but I bit my tongue. Instead I just nodded and motioned for Inuyasha to follow me outside the room.

Inuyasha and I sat at the top of the stairs. That way I would still be earshot to Kouga's room.
"So, I guess this isn't a good time to talk about last night?" He asked. I almost groaned. I had completely forgotten. I felt my face heat up.
"Not at all."
He nodded. "So how do you know Kouga?"
"Erm, how do you know Kouga?" I asked stalling his reaction.
He looked at me suspiciously but answered anyway. "He's my best friend. He moved to my school about a year ago." I had the sudden urge to launch my self off the steps…Nah, I'll save that for a rainy day.
"Ah, so that's where he went…" I thought aloud. He had moved shortly after we had broken up. I had no clue why or to where.
"Yeah…So, how do you know him?"
I really didn't want to risk ruining their friendship over me, but I had to tell him. "Okay, promise me you won't freak. You met Kouga before me. You are best friends. What happened was in the past."
He look way more confused then before. "Why…?"
I sighed. "Remember the boyfriend I caught cheating on me…?"
"Yes…" His eyes darkened a shade. Oh shit.
"Well…It was Kouga."
Inuyasha stood up and started heading towards Kouga's room. "I'm going to kill him!" He growled.
"If you lay a finger on him I will never speak to you again!" I shouted. Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. I went to the door and stood in front if it. He looked at me in shock.
"What? He cheated on you!"
"Listen to me, Inuyasha. He's your best friend. I will not let you ruin that!" And I would be damned if anyone hurt Kouga. "We are going back into that room and you will not say a thing. I will explain to Kouga what is or isn't going on between you and me, and then me and Kouga will talk out what happened before we broke up." My tone was harsh. I never imagined speaking to Inuyasha this way. I couldn't help it.
I waited for him to show me a sign that he wasn't going to do any bodily harm to anyone and then opened Kouga's door. He was still sitting on his bed and Miroku was leaning against the desk glaring into space. "Okay!" I said in false cheerfulness. I went to go sit next to Kouga which turned Inuyasha's and Miroku's glare to me. I glared right back.
"Kouga knows about you and Inuyasha." Miroku said. "I told him."
That's when I noticed Kouga's eyes on Inuyasha. He had that look. He got it when he saw another guy trying to flirt with me. "Then you know there is nothing going on between us, right Kouga?"
His expression softened when he looked at me. "Yes." He grabbed my hand and I felt that familiar electric shock, that I only felt when he touched me. "We need to talk about what happened that day. What you saw wasn't what you thought."
"Yeah right." Miroku snorted.
Inuyasha was glaring at mine and Kouga's intertwined hands.
"Miroku. Inuyasha. I think you should leave Kouga and I to talk." I said.
"No fucking way!" Miroku and Inuyasha shouted at the same time.
I stood up. "I wasn't fucking asking! Go!" I pointed at the door. Miroku grumbled something unintelligible and then left. Inuyasha looked like he was going to stand his ground. "Please, Inuyasha?" He stormed out. God, what the fuck was he so bitchy about.
"Kagome, let me explain to you what happened that day." His eyes were pleading. I nodded. "Megumi had been pining after me for months. What you saw was her throwing herself at me. Not making out. You have to know that I would never do something like that to you. I loved you more than anything. I still do." He had the most sincere look in his eyes. I always knew when he was lying and right now he was telling the truth.
I wanted to cry. If I had let him explain himself instead of jumping to conclusions we would probably still be together. "I-I'm sorry I wouldn't talk to you. I should've let you explain. I was just so hurt."
"I know you were and it killed me." He moved closer to me and I leaned into him. "I want another chance. I want us to be together again."
There was pounding on the door and Miroku's voice sounded on the other side. "We have to go, Kags!"
"Can't you wait for just a second?!" I shouted back. Was he like eavesdropping or something?
"No! We have to go." He opened the door. Inuyasha was standing beside him with a very unfamiliar look plastered on his face. "Now." When Miroku used that tone I knew better than to protest.
I sighed and gave Kouga an apologetic look. "Can we meet up tomorrow? I really want to continue this conversation."
Hope flashed in his eyes. "Of course! I'll pick you up around 2?"
I smiled and nodded then quickly pecked his cheek. All three boys faces were in shock. "Let's go Miroku."
"I'm going to call you later, Kagome." Inuyasha said before we walked out. "We still need to talk about last night."
