#2 – Secret

All eyes turned to her when Inuyasha, fidgeting for the last hour, announced that he wanted to scout the area and left in a flash of red.

"Kagome," Sango, in the middle of mending to her Hiraikotsu, murmured to her. Even Miroku, for once, abandoned his lecherous habits to gaze compassionately at her.

Kagome smiled brightly at Sango, briefly masking her pain. "I'm fine, Sango-chan, Miroku-kun" she said as she stuffed the uneaten ramen packs and cooking utensils back into her yellow pack. "I'm used to it by now."

Despite Sango's disbelieving glance, it was true. Certainly, the twinge of pain in her heart was partially because of Inuyasha's frequent trysts when her predecessor, Kikyo, but of a reality she had to face—even if Inuyasha reciprocated her feelings (which she sometimes wondered if it were true), the ghost of the undead priestess would hang between them, perpetuated by the half-demon's memories of his former love and Kagome's uncanny resemblance. In the end, whatever they had would only end in bitterness, as Kagome would not appreciate being a stand-in.

As she turned to busy herself with the knot of her knapsack, Kagome smiled a little to herself. Unlike Inuyasha, who couldn't keep his secrets, Kagome had her own, one that she could never reveal to the group for fear of Inuyasha's wrath.

And besides, who would believe her secret?
