Author's Note: Once again, welcome to another chapter of 'The Blossoming Love'. Please R&R. Previously, I asked who is the one who make such a remark in the last part of the chapter that makes the four of them opened their mouth wide in surprise. Here it is.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha and the other characters.

CHAPTER 8

"I wonder this friendship would carry on or not?" Kikyou said.

"What are you doing here? Insulting us, aren't you?" Inuyasha gave a ferocious stare at Kikyou.

"When did you mixed around with these people?" Kikyou asked. "I thought you always carry a torch for me. How dare you oppose me now?"

"I do not have feelings for you now. You had changed ever since you mixed around with those bad girls of yours." Inuyasha now realised the true colours of Kikyou.

"Me. I did not—" Kikyou was trying to argue back when Kagome stood between them.

"Stop fighting. This is a canteen for everyone to eat, not fight."

"Count yourself lucky." Kikyou walked off proudly, and Inuyasha and Kagome went back to their seats.

"So she's Kikyou?"

"Yeah. Kikyou is accepted as the most beautiful and coolest among the girls."

"I agree. Her looks are rare to find but one cannot judge a book by its cover."

"Yeah. Kikyou is so rude. Her attitude cannot be compared to my rough Sango," Miroku said. Sango slapped Miroku immediately upon hearing that. "How dare you say my attitude and calling me rough?"

"No. I wouldn't. I said Sango's attitude is the best I have ever seen and she is the most gentle girl I had ever saw too." Sango gave a pleasant look and continue eating her food.

After that, there was silence among them throughout until the bell rang. They walked back to class and they had only one thought in their mind: 'I wonder this friendship would carry on or not?' Is Kikyou stating the truth about our budding friendship?

"Hmm, friends. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Sango asked.

"Yeah." The three of them replied.

"But will Kikyou's words be true or not? Will we break up sooner or later" Kagome asked.

"I'm not sure but I hope such a thing would not happen. We cannot just believe in what others said about our friendship and let them break it." Inuyasha said. "We must keep this friendship going."

"Yes, I agree." Kagome said.

"Me too." Sango replied.

"Me three." Miroku answered.

"So what about instead of letting others think our friendship is not worth having but we can prove to people like Kikyou that they are wrong." Inuyasha said. "How about that?"

"You are beginning to trust us and be part of this friendship," Kagome whispered to Inuyasha. "You have changed." Kagome smiled, and in return, Inuyasha smiled too.

"Yes, we agree on that."


During lesson time, Inuyasha often talked to Kagome and they seemed to be close friends. Kikyou was watching every movement of theirs, especially Kagome. She cannot understand how Inuyasha's cold attitude had turned into something warm and trustworthy. Kikyou finally found out Inuyasha is not even a cool, hot guy after all. Kikyou wants answers and she will be getting them later, after school.

Every period passed by smoothly, and Inuyasha and Kagome kept talking to each other about schoolwork. When the last period of lesson ended, the four of them went to the lockers' room.

"Both of you seemed to be patching things up," Sango observed. Miroku went nodding his head in agreement of what Sango had said. "You want another slap?" Sango asked. "I love to but I just hope it will not hurt your heart." Miroku answered. "You…" Sango controlled her temper.

"You also changed too, Sango," Kagome said, and started laughing when Miroku touched Sango's butt. Sango immediately responded by slapping him. "Or maybe not." Inuyasha said, laughing.

"Now I understood why Miroku's nickname was 'lecherous Miroku'." Kagome cannot help it but continue laughing. They continued laughing as they put their books back in their lockers.

"Oh well. Maybe by slapping me will make you feel happier."

"Yes, and now I think there is a need to."

"Oh, bring it on." Sango controlled her temper again.

"Well that's enough Miroku. I need to return back to my dormitory. You coming with me?" Inuyasha asked. "Alright. No more slapping" Miroku replied sadly.

"You sure will get some by tomorrow," Sango shouted back. Miroku's dead mood became alive. "I'll be looking forward to that." The boys left the girls in the lockers' room.

"Kagome, can you wait for me at the front gate? I need to go to the washroom." Sango said and dashed off. Kagome walked to the front gate and waited for her friend.

"Are you Kagome?" A male voice asked. Kagome turned to where the voice was coming from and saw a boy with sliver long hair, that looks just like Inuyasha's.

End of Chapter

Please comment on the chapter. This chapter is more of the friendship among the four of them and Kikyou hating it. I wanted the four friends to be close enough so I could continue my story, as I have no ideas for this chapter at first. If you think this story is lacking, you can review and tell me how to make it interesting for the next chapter. Remember I wrote this story is for you guys to read and not me so I need to know your opinions. I accept any kind of review and comments so please send them if you have any.
