Kagome's POV.

I arrived home and went straight into my bedroom. I laid on my bed and was thinking about what I was feeling just now. Why was I feeling in that way? I have always treated Inuyasha like a younger brother.

But now, I resented the fact that he was going out with another girl. A girl of the same age as him and younger than me. Oh, what a headache, maybe I should just rest. I would just get used to the fact that Inuyasha would not have time for me in near future but why did I feel so sad?

End of Kagome's POV.

Inuyasha reached his home and got changed to rest in his bedroom. He was shocked to see Kagome earlier and nearly regretted his actions but he remembered his older brother's advice and decided to go along with the plan.

Weekend came and Inuyasha went to the movies with Kikyo. After the movies, he decided to drop by his work place and knew that Kagome would be working on that day. He entered the store and saw Kagome was behind the counter. Suddenly, Kikyo held his hand and greeted Kagome.

"Hi, Kagome, nice to see you again." Kikyo said too sweetly for Kagome to hear. She made sure that the other girl saw her hand was holding Inuyasha's.

"Hi, nice to see the two of you." Said Kagome who was trying to sound cheerful.

Inuyasha saw the exchange and tried to observe Kagome's reaction but was disappointed to see that she sounded happy. He tried to let go of Kikyo's hand but she was holding it tightly. Sighing, he grabbed a drink for himself.

'Maybe, she has no feelings for me and it seems that Kikyo is taking all these too seriously.' Inuyasha thought sadly to himself.

"We better get going now. See you around, Kagome." Inuyasha paid for his drink and went out of the store with Kikyo beside him who was still holding on to his hand.

Kagome looked at the two of them and sighed sadly. Her heart seemed to hurt and many thought were in her head. Thoughts that were confusing her at the moment.

Once they were out of the store, Inuyasha forced his hand out from Kikyo's hand. He pretended to sneeze and put his hand into his pocket to prevent her to hold it again. They walked and talked as normal and Inuyasha escorted her home.

'You will be mine, Inuyasha. You will see.' Kikyo thought silently while walking home with Inuyasha. Once they reached her home, she kissed Inuyasha on his cheek and he was blushing after she did that. She entered her home, smiling with a great sense of satisfaction. Inuyasha shook his head and headed home.

Later, Inuyasha arrived home and saw Sesshomaru in the living room, watching tv.

"Hey Inu! How was the movie?" Sesshomaru asked him and was smirking.

"Well, all thanks to you, a new girl wants to be my girlfriend for real. The one that I want, seemed to be unaffected by it." He informed his brother and sat next to him.

"What? No reaction? Are you sure?" Sesshomaru asked him curiously.

"Yes and Kikyo the girl who I went out with, takes all these seriously." Inuyasha sighed and dropped his head back on the couch.

"How do you know that?"

"Well, she acted all lovingly towards me in front of Kagome." Inuyasha explained to his older brother.

"Is there any reason for her to do so?" Sesshomaru suspected something was fishy.

"I don't know. Why?" Inuyasha said and felt confused by his brother's question.

"Hmm, I guess Kikyo could have sensed something, and that could be the reason why." He told his younger brother.

"Really? I didn't think of that, maybe I do stand a chance." He said to his brother and finally smiled.

"Don't give up easily. Just observe for a few more times, ok." Sesshomaru tried to comfort his younger brother.

Both brothers watched tv and ate their dinner. Inuyasha hoped that his older brother was right about the situation.

The next day, Inuyasha came to work and saw Kagome who was busy joking with Aniki and Miroku. It seemed that there was a new girl who just started work.

"Hi, guys!" Inuyasha said to them.

"Hey, Inuyasha." The three of them greeted him. Then they introduced the new girl to him. Miroku was all smiles about it. It seemed that the new girl would be working in the store, doing the afternoon shift.

"Hi, I'm Sango." She shook hands with Inuyasha who introduced himself too.

He found out that Sango went to the same college as Kagome but she was the same age as Miroku. Kagome had recommended her to work part time in the store.

Afterwards, The rest left the store, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha to work. Both of them seemed to be awkward around each other. Kagome refused to talk much to Inuyasha and Inuyasha kept himself busy with all the mopping around the store.

That was until Kagome asked him about Kikyo. Inuyasha was surprised but he was excited about the question.

"Kikyo seems nice. How long have you known her?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"She is nice, I've known ever since I joined the school." Inuyasha was watching her an noticed that there was something in her eyes. Was it jealousy? He was unsure.

"Good for you. Come, let's carry all these things inside to the back." She told him and both of them carried the things to go to the back.

After their shift ended, Hojo came to pick Kagome who was smiling at him. Inuyasha tried to act naturally and said 'hi' to the guy. He felt a great sense of jealousy after he left the couple and went home. He wished he would get the courage to talk to Kagome about his inner feelings but at the moment he would just have to wait for the right time.
