CHAPTER 15

"So we need some planning." Miroku said, as he and Sango were walking on the corridor of the hospital. They had gone to take a cup of steaming hot coffee each, at the vending machine.

"How about taking turns to look after Kagome? We cannot always let Inuyasha do the 'taking care of Kagome' work. We also have to help."

"I agree. Let's tell Inuyasha about it."

At Kagome's ward, after Sango and Miroku had told Inuyasha their plan

"I think it is a good idea. You can have a piece of mind going to school while one of us would be taking care of Kagome. How about it?" Sango said.

"I would prefer taking care of Kagome by myself. I do not want to trouble you."

"If you say that one more time, I am going to punch you."

"Like I—"

"Stop it. Don't act like childish people." Miroku interrupted. "Inuyasha, if you continue to take care of Kagome and skip classes, Mr Naraku will found out about it. We do not want to arouse his suspicions."

"Understood, Inuyasha?" Sango consumed her drink.

"Fine. But if Kagome is in trouble, both of you are going to be responsible for it."

"Okay with me."

"Me too."

"So settled."

"Who wants to take care of Kagome tomorrow?"

"Me." Inuyasha and Sango said in unison.

"All right, Sango in charge of taking care of Kagome tomorrow." Miroku said before gulping the coffee despite that it was hot. Inuyasha just snorted. How can they make decisions without my permission? Unfair.

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"What about tomorrow starts from me, after that it is Miroku's turn, then Inuyasha's turn to look after Kagome?"

"Brilliant idea." Miroku said. "How about you, Inuyasha?"

"All right. So stick with this idea until we have any better plans, okay?" The two of them nodded their heads in reply. Miroku yawned. "Can we go now, Sango? I'm so tired. Tomorrow I still have school and you have to take care of Inuyasha."

"Yeah. Bye, Inuyasha." Sango and Miroku left with their empty cups before Inuyasha could even respond. They sure are tired. I should also resume copying Miroku's notes.

"Be sure to keep an eye on Kagome," Inuyasha reminded Sango for the third time.

"Inuyasha, I am not a dementia person. Am I those people who need to be reminded for so many times?"

"I'm just worried." Inuyasha said.

"You are so annoying." Sango pushed him and drive him out of Kagome's ward. Sango closed the door behind him and sighed. He really does care for Kagome. Don't tell me he likes Kagome?

At school,

Will Sango take care of Kagome? Will she repeat the same mistakes that I did… Those thoughts kept distracting Inuyasha and Inuyasha was unsure if Sango would take care of Kagome. He had forgotten that if Kagome were in danger, Sango and Miroku would be responsible for it. What if she did not know how to take care of Kagome? Inuyasha stood up. "How am I supposed to do if she does not know how to do it?"

"Inuyasha." Mr Naraku said. Inuyasha looked down in embarrassment. Oops! I will be killed. "Go out of the classroom and stand. After lesson, we shall talk." Die, Inuyasha. Mr Naraku will scold you. Inuyasha thought as he walked out of the classroom. Miroku looked at Inuyasha curiously. What had happen to him? Like a ghost is controlling his mind. Talking to himself. Weird. Kikyou watched Inuyasha went out of the classroom. Is it because of me that make him be like that?

"You better focus, Inuyasha. You have not attend classes for the past few days." Mr Naraku said. "Better not get distracted by others. Understood?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha replied with an ignorant tone. "I will focus." At least it was not that bad, Inuyasha thought as he went back to his classroom and waited for the next lesson. What will you do to protect your loved ones? A voice in his head said. I will do anything for her, that is what my sentiment tells me. Inuyasha thought. Ah. What am I thinking? I do not like Kagome… or do I really like her?

Lunchtime

Maybe I should trust Sango, like what Kagome said earlier. Inuyasha thought. As Inuyasha entered the canteen he had noticed Sesshoumaru and Rin sitting at a table but kept on walking. Not in the mood of being in the presence of Sesshoumaru, he goes to grab a tray.

"Hey, Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha just walked in." Rin said with food in her mouth.

"Do you think I care?"

"Of course not. I thought you want to continue the fight you and Inuyasha had before." Rin said before swallowing her food.

"Didn't you announce that I am the winner?" Sesshoumaru said. "I am always much stronger than him."

"Yeah. You are absolutely right." Rin nodded her head. "What you said would always be the right one." Inuyasha heard what his cousins said and wanted to give Sesshoumaru and Rin a punch but what Kagome said before she passed out reminded him not to do it. Violence will not solve everything… Inuyasha remembered that phrase very clearly; he would never forget it as that was the last few sentence, which she said before passing out. Inuyasha clenched his hand and controlled himself. For Kagome, control your temper. Inuyasha sat on a table and started eating. I wonder where is Miroku?

At the school garden

Wow! This school sure enrolls pretty girls. Miroku were looking at the young girls playing at the school garden, saliva coming out of his mouth. I would rather stay here and look at the girls than eat my lunch. I would not mind starving myself. Sango would not— Miroku was thinking when the thought of Sango came to his mind. "Oh. I must not betray my love for Sango. She will be mad that I did this. I have to change." Miroku looked at the dark sky. "I swear from now on, I must not see other girls but Sango." All of a sudden, there was lightning in the sky, followed by a roaring thunder.

"What! Even god thinks what I swore would not be true. I must prove to everyone." Miroku said as it was drizzling. "I better accompany Inuyasha." Miroku walked to the canteen to find Inuyasha.

When Miroku saw Inuyasha, he walked towards him. I just hope Inuyasha would not ask where I was when the bell rang. Inuyasha noticed Miroku and waved at him.

"Hi, Miroku."

"Hi." Miroku said as he took his seat. "The absence of Sango and Kagome makes me lonely."

"Yeah." Inuyasha said while chewing his food. "Where are you just now? I cannot find you." Shit. How am I going to answer Inuyasha's question? Miroku thought.

"Well…"

"Don't tell me you are flirting with girls again?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku just smiled. "Well, I did."

"You are shameless."

"That is why I want to change. I would not want to flirt anymore from now onwards. I do not want to betray my love for Sango." Inuyasha almost got choke by the food as another lightning struck. "You like Sango?"

Miroku nodded his head. The rain was starting to pour heavily. I think this relationship will not continue for long, Inuyasha thought.

After School

Kikyou locked her locker and sighed. Although we are separated, I do not want to break this friendship, Inuyasha. I want to reunite with you, be friends like before. I cannot understand why that fellow changed you. If you hated me because I did that to her—

"Kikyou." Kikyou stopped thinking as someone was calling her. "It's you." Kikyou said.

"Ready to go?" Sesshoumaru said. Kikyou just nodded her head. "Let's go." Kikyou and Sesshoumaru left the lockers' room.

"Did you know I met Inuyasha during lunchtime?"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Did he saw you?"

"Yes, he did."

"How did he respond?"

"He just ignore me like I was not there. I did not care much," Sesshoumaru replied. But I care. I want to be friends with Inuyasha again. Kikyou thought. Inuyasha, are you avoiding us or ignoring us like we did not even existed.
