Chapter 4

"Why would she do that?" Inuyasha asked is best friend Miroku. They had met at a coffee shop and Inuyasha and told him the entire break-up story about Kikyou.

"Well, she said she had someone else," Miroku said.

"Have you ever suspected her cheating on me?" Inuyasha demanded from Miroku.

"I am an expert at girls and we've both known Kikyou for so long. Kikyou doesn't seem like the type to cheat and I most certainly have never even suspected that Kikyou would be cheating on you Inuyasha," Miroku admitted with a sigh. "It almost feels as if the reason she gave you wasn't quite true. Who did she say she cheated on you for?"

"She said it was Naraku," Inuyasha told him.

"Well, I'm not sure what to make of it now. What do you want to do Inuyasha? Do you want to get her back? Or do you just want to move on?" Miroku asked his friend. Inuyasha looked at him, a deflated and hurt expression in his golden orbs.

"As much as I might not want to admit it, I loved Kikyou. I'll do anything to have her back by my side," Inuyasha said. Miroku nodded.

"I figured. I've never seen you be more passionate and caring with any of your past girlfriends like you've been with Kikyou. Well, it's a good thing you came to me then, since I am the woman expert," Miroku said with a smirk. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and hit Miroku over the head.

"Hey! That hurt!" Miroku cried.

"It was supposed to," Inuyasha retorted.

"Alright, alright, so you want me to help you get Kikyou back, right?" Miroku asked again.

"Yes for the millionth time!" Inuyasha said exasperated.

"Well, the best way to get back a woman is to…make her jealous," Miroku concluded.

"And…how am I supposed to do that?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Well, I'm sure Kikyou still has lingering feelings for you. All you really have to do is picking a good-looking girl and convince her to become your 'girlfriend'. After that, you flounce with her and cuddle her and all that stuff in front of Kikyou. Before you know it, Kikyou will be running back to you," Miroku said, looking quite pleased with himself may I add.

"Feh, easy for you to say, but what kind of girl is just gonna agree to be my pretend girlfriend?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, we all know the one person Kikyou hates, not that Kikyou will ever admit it," Miroku started.

"Oh, who's that?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Why, Kagome of course!" Miroku exclaimed. "And Kagome and I are quite close, I'm sure I could pull a few strings for you. She's a good friend of mine, she's pretty, Kikyou hates her, she's got all the right stuff," Miroku concluded. "But, business is a give and take thing, Inuyasha,"

"What? I thought you were my friend!" Inuyasha sighed. "Alright, if you can convince Kagome to be my pretend girlfriend I'll never make a comment about you and your little fan club of girls and all your perverted ways ever again," Inuyasha said.

"Deal!" Miroku agreed gleefully and the two shook hands. "Operation get-Kikyou-back-to-Inuyasha is in motion!" Inuyasha simply rolled his eyes and hit Miroku over the head again.

"Hey, I thought we had a deal!" Miroku yelled.

"Yah, I said I wouldn't bother you about your girls, we never agreed I still couldn't hit you!" Inuyasha replied smugly. Miroku sighed in defeat.

"Alright, meet me at my house this evening. I'll manage to get through to Kagome by then and the 3 of us will meet then," Miroku told Inuyasha as they walked out of the coffee shop. Many passing girls were staring at Miroku. No, it was not because he was amazingly attractive, but more because there was a huge red swelling lump on top of his head.

"Fine, I'll drop by this evening. You better be true to your word Miroku," Inuyasha said giving Miroku the if-you-don't-keep-your-word-I'll-kill-you look. Miroku cowered back for a moment before smiling and said.

"Don't worry my friend; I would never fail you,"

With that the two hopped into their cars and drove their separate ways.

'Oh boy, I've gotta a lot of work to do now,' Miroku thought to himself as he drove along. He checked the time. It was almost 4:30 pm. 'Kagome should be home,' Miroku thought and he took a turn onto Sunset Lane where he would eventually hit Kagome's home, Sunset Shrine. When he pulled over to the side of the road and got out he noticed Kagome was in her traditional red and white outfit, sweeping up the leaves in front of her family's Sacred Tree. Her friend Sango was there as well. They both looked up when they saw Miroku get out of his car.

"Kagome! Sango!" Miroku called cheerfully to them.

"Miroku, hey, how're you doing?" Kagome asked cheerfully as she walked over to greet him.

"Hello, Miroku," Sango greeted coolly.

"Fine. It's nice to see you too, Sango. Hey Kagome, I have a favor to ask you…" Miroku said.

"Oh, what is it?" Kagome asked. Sango also looked at him in curiosity.

"Well…" Miroku started hesitantly.

"Go on tell me, you know I'd help you with anything. You've been such a great friend to me," Kagome said.

"Really?" Miroku asked. "Anything?"

"That might not be a good thing Kagome," Sango warned.

"Don't worry, it's nothing perverted," Miroku assured them. "Anyway, you said anything right?"

Kagome nodded. "Anything at all, so what's up?"

"Ok well, you said it yourself. You're probably not going to like this but…" Miroku said and he began to tell her and Sango of Inuyasha's situation.
