Chapter 16: Blind

"Oh god! My eyes are still teary," Kagome groaned as Inuyasha held her to calm her down.

"It's okay," Inuyasha soothed. He rubbed her back gently.

Kagome pushed him a little and glared at him. "The fuck is wrong with you? How can you be so fuckin calm?"

"It's not the first time I've seen Miroku fuck a girl. I'm used to it," he shrugged.

Kagome wrinkled her nose in disgust and hit him on the shoulder, "that's just plain wrong."

"I'm just used to it."

Kagome shook her head.

"Kagome?" Sango said unsurely as she entered the living room in only sweats.

Kagome looked over Inuyasha's shoulder and then buried her face in his chest. "Oh god! I can't look at her the same way! All I see is. . .Oh God!" she groaned.

"Kagome, grow up will ya," Inuyasha sighed.

"Hey! Fuck you! I'm fuckin traumatized here!" she scolded at him.

Miroku came from the room with his jeans and no shirt. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Hey! Juicy Juice!" he said happily. He opened the bottle and took a gulp of it. "Oh goodness! It's apple!" he said in disbelief.

Kagome pushed Inuyasha away from her and ran towards the kitchen. She took the juice from Miroku, who pouted, and through it in the sink. "What the hell gave you the right to drink my Juicy Juice?"

Inuyasha and Sango entered the kitchen.

Inuyasha stretched his arms in the air and rested them on the back of his head. "Miroku?"

Miroku looked at him and smiled, "Sup."

"Kagome's right. Besides didn't you get enough juice from Sango?" he said flatly.

"Stop reminding me!" Kagome groaned as she fell to her knees.

Sango just stood there blushing madly. "I'm sorry," she said quietly and shyly.

Then Kagome's phone rang. She picked it up. "What?. . .Okay. . .Fine."

She got up and everyone stared at her in curiosity. "We have to go, Sango. Practice."

Sango nodded in understanding.

Kagome turned to look at the boys, "get the hell out of here, now!"

Miroku raised his hands in defeat and walked over to Sango and wrapped his arm around her. He kissed her lightly and smiled. "See you, babe." And with that he dragged Inuyasha with him, who was yelling things about 'how dare that wench order me around.'

Kagome walked to her room but was stopped by a soft hand. She turned to see Sango. "What's wrong?"

Letting go of her shirt, Sango looked down on her feet. "We're official," she blurted out.

"No shit?" Kagome said sarcastically. "Come on I have to change, so get ready."

Sango looked at her and smiled. "You like him, don't you?"

"Who? Miroku? As a friend. Why?"

Sango shook her head, "No. I mean Inuyasha."

Kagome blushed, "why would you say that?" For some reason her heart pounded.

Sango raised an eyebrow. "Well, for starters, you have his clothes on."

Kagome looked down and noticed she still has his boxers and shirt on. She blushed. "So?"

"What are you doing with his clothes?" Sango asked suspiciously.

". . .I . .um. . .slept over at his room," Kagome said unsurely.

Sango gasped. "And here you are thinking I'm a total slut."

"No. Kikyo is a total slut. You? Well. . .you're just in love with a lech. Besides I didn't have sex with him, you moron."

"So you like him?" Sango narrowed her eyes.

"And if I do?"

Sango squealed. "Oh my god! You do?"

Kagome glared at her, "I never said that!"

"You didn't have to."

"Whatever," Kagome mumbled as she walked to her room.

Kagome opened her door and turned back to Sango, who also opened her door. "Sango?"

She looked at her. "Yeah?"

"How the hell did you stay up all night like that?" Hey she was curious.

Sango flashed her a smile, "Let's just say, he REALLY knows how to bring the heat up."

Kagome rolled her eyes and cursed.

"Kagome? What's wrong?"

"Man! First it's Ayame and now you," she raised her arms in the air, "Am I the only virgin here?" And with that, she slammed the door shut.

Sango chuckled. 'Maybe for now,' she thought. 'Just wait until Inuyasha gets to you.'

"Hey I heard that!"

Sango looked at Kagome's door afraid.

During dance practice, everyone seemed to have fun making fun of Kagome for staying over Inuyasha's room.

"Will you guys leave me alone!" Kagome yelled. She can't take it anymore. Sango just had to open her big mouth.

"Admit it! You like him," Souta teased.

"Leave me alone!"

"Kags likes Inuyasha, Kags likes Inuyasha, Kags likes Inuyasha," Kohaku sang.

Kagome glared at them and looked at Sango, who just laughed her ass off. Kagome smirked.

"What about you, Sango?"

Sango stopped laughing. "What about me?"

"Well, what about Miroku?" she asked innocently.

Sango blushed, "Shut up!"

Kohaku raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?"

Sango panicked, "N-nothing."

Kohaku glared at her. He walked up to her and lifted her hair which she left it down, and found a hickey. He frowned. "No wonder you have it down. You always have it up. You fuckin slept with him, didn't you?"

Sango gulped, but shook her head and put on an angry face. "It's my choice," she said defensively.

Kohaku shook his head. "Fuckin bastard."

"Hey! He's my boyfriend!"

Kohaku looked up at her. "I know that. I'm just angry!"

Sango glared at him. "I'm 18. I can do as I want. You shouldn't be my babysitter."

Kohaku stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a twenty.

Sango looked at him confused, "The fuck?"

Kohaku sighed. And turn to Souta who was smiling. Souta walked up to him and took the twenty and put it in his pocket.

"Thanks, Sango. I won the bet," Souta said cheerfully.

Sango blinked. "What?"

Kohaku sighed. "I'm mad cause I lost a bet."

Sango hit her brother on the head, "YOU FUCKIN MADE A BET OF ME AND MIROKU?"

Kohaku nodded. "It's about time, you finally got with him."

"I thought you hated him."

Kohaku shook his head, "Just wanted to see if he could put up with a girl who has a unique brother," he smiled. "Besides, you're a big girl and I thought you would sleep with him after school finished. I already knew you guys would end up together, I just didn't know when. So me and Souta made it interesting. Twenty dollars and cleaning who's laundry for a month."

Sango shook her head. She looked at Kagome who was laughing her head off.

"Hey," Souta said.

Sango looked at him. "Yeah?"

"We're going to the cafeteria and eat like fatasses. So, catch ya later."

The boys left.

"So?" Kagome asked.

"So?"

"Wanna watch the hotties at the beach?" Kagome smiled.

Sango put a hand on her chest, "Kagome! I have a boyfriend. I can't just go and check out guys."

Kagome shrugged. "What he doesn't know, doesn't hurt him."

Sango blinked. "Okay. Let's go."

They started walking until. . .

"Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"What happened to you last night? I was a little worried.

Kagome sighed. "Try to control your anger."

"Oh so it's bad! Tell me!"

"Well. . ."

After explaining everything to her, this is what happened-

"THAT ASSHOLE! JUST WAIT TILL I SEE HIM! HE'S GOING TO WISH HE IS GAY FOR DOING THAT TO YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Yes! I won!" Inuyasha cheered as he beat Miroku's ass in a video game.

Miroku put his head down in shame. "Shit."

Inuyasha laughed and patted his friend on the back. "Hey, cheer up. "

Miroku glared at him and punched him on the arm. "Dude! I lost to you over 50 times! How am I going to cheer up?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Your problem for being a loser. It's just a basketball game in a little television. Not my fault you can't score."

"At least I scored last night," Miroku smirked.

Inuyasha sighed. "Official?"

Miroku smiled, "Official!"

Inuyasha nodded.

"What about you and Kagome?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "What about her?"

"Don't give that crap," Miroku rolled his eyes, "I know you like her. I'm asking when are you going to ask her out?"

Inuyasha stared at him strangely. "I'm not."

Miroku shook his head in disapproval and gave him a disappointed look. "Why do you do this to yourself?"

"Do what?" Inuyasha retorted. "She's not worth it."

Miroku grabbed him by the collar, "You think I didn't know about your little crush on her in freshmen year?"

Inuyasha looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah, I knew," Miroku nodded. "And I also know you wanted revenge on her for giving you a broken heart. Stop blaming her! She didn't even know about it! You just listened to everyone else when they said she's a gold digger and walked away. Well, now you know she isn't. And wether you like it or not, she likes you, too. You think I can't see that? The way she seems to enjoy to argue with you and the way her eyes seem to lit up, even a little, when she sees you?"

Inuyasha pushed him off. "You don't know what you're talking about." He got up and started to walk away.

Miroku glared at him and threw the remote control at him.

Inuyasha turned to look at him and growled. "What the hell was that for?"

Miroku rolled his eyes. "For being a fuckin idiot! Will you stop confusing yourself! And making things so complicated for you and her!"

"Stay out of this Miroku," Inuyasha whispered dangerously.

Miroku stood up, "No! I don't want her getting hurt. I don't want YOU getting hurt for your stupid childish act!"

"Miroku," Inuyasha growled.

"No, Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled. "And I also know the only reason you stared to fucking around with Kikyo is because she looks so much like Kagome!"

Inuyasha snapped. He grabbed Miroku by the neck and pushed him against the wall roughly. "What did you say?" he spat.

Miroku glared him in the eye. He will not show fear. "The truth."

Inuyasha let him go and sighed. "You think I didn't try to get her out of my mind?"

Miroku looked at him sympathetically. "Inu?"

Inuyasha grabbed a fist of his hair. "I can't deny the fact that I DO like her. I really do. But she said it herself. She doesn't want me. I won't force her to. Yes, I wanted revenge but I found out who she really is. I care for this girl like crazy, even if I don't show it. Her scent teases my nose. But she doesn't want me. I heard it from her own lips."

Miroku raised an eyebrow. "She said that?"

Inuyasha nodded.

"Can I ask when?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Well, it happened that day at the boat. When we found out we were across the hall."

Miroku nodded. "Anything else."

"We were talking. . .well arguing, and she said I was only good for fucking so. . ."

"So what?"

Inuyasha looked away, "I came on to her."

Miroku shook his head. "Is that when she said she didn't want you? When you tried to seduce her?"

Inuyasha nodded.

"You idiot!"

Inuyasha looked at his friend and frowned. "Excuse me?'

"She probably meant she didn't want you in a sexual way. I know you did came on to her before. Like when you told me you asked her to be your private friend."

Inuyasha said nothing.

Miroku sighed and rubbed his temples. "Inu, she likes you. She actually LIKES you. She's just not ready for an intimate thing like sex, yet. She is a virgin, you know?"

Then it hit Inuyasha like a ton of bricks. 'Of course she's a virgin!' he thought. "Wait so she really is a virgin?"

"Well from what Sango told me. . .yes, she is. Why? You didn't think so?"

"But she's hot!" Inuyasha explained.

Miroku shook his head. "Just cause she's hot doesn't mean she can't be a virgin, dude."

"But the rumors-"

"All of the rumors aren't true! Stop thinking about the rumors! She's a fuckin pure ass virgin, you stupid hound!"

At this Inuyasha growled.

"Are you that blind, Inu?"

Inuyasha sighed. "I was."

"So are you going to ask her out?"

Inuyasha shook his head softly. "I need more time. Until I see it for myself she really does. Maybe, just maybe."

Miroku nodded.

Yes, Inuyasha was blind for not seeing Kagome's feelings right in front of him but the thing is. . .

The boys were both blind for not noticing someone who wanted to pay them, well Inuyasha visit, but heard voices and decided to listen instead.

"Inuyasha, you WILL be mine, no matter what," Kikyo whispered harshly as she left to her room.

Hello! Yes, I know, it's kind of short, and boring as hell, sorry. Anyways I bet you are all wondering what Kikyo is planning, huh? Well you guys will have to wait and see for the next chapter.
