(This is the same day at school, as the last chapter!)

InuYasha continued staying quiet for the rest of the day. Miroku and Kouga were starting to get really worried. They asked Kikyo to talk to him, but she rejected for some reason. "Who else do we know that can talk to him?" Miroku asked. They knew that neither of them were the BEST people at advice.

It was the end of the day. Kagome was walking threw the field to go-home, when she spotted her friend, sitting on the bleachers, with a plain face. She hesitated, as she walked up the bleachers, and sat next to him. InuYasha didn't seem to notice. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked. No answer. "You wanna talk about it?" She asked. No answer. "Um, I'll just see-ya later, I guess." Kagome said as she stood, and started walking down the bleachers. As she was about to take her first step, there was a tug on her arm. Kagome turned, and smiled. "I need someone to talk to." InuYasha said in a quiet voice as he looked into her eyes. Kagome nodded, and sat. InuYasha told her everything that he had found-out the pervoius day. Kagome was wide-eyed. "I think it's all my fault." InuYasha said as he his his eyes, under his bangs. Kagome leaned-up, and kissed him on the cheek. InuYasha blushed. "I think that you should just tell her that you know. If she really cared, she wouldn't have cheated in the first-place." Kagome said while nudging her crush on the arm. For the first time that day, InuYasha smiled. Kagome stood, and held her hand out. "Come on. I'll take you home." She said with a smile.

Night :

InuYasha was still feeling depressed. He had felt alittle better, when Kagome had called to see how he was doing. "She must really care about me." He said to himself with a smile, as he reached for his backpack. InuYasha pulled-out the journal that he had some-what become obsessed with. "I wonder why she asked me to keep it?" He asked himself as he started reading. Just as he started reading, his cell rang.

"Hello?"

"It's over."

(HANG UP)

InuYasha had started crying. "Damn her. Right when I started feeling better, she ruins it." He said in a whisper as there was a knock at his door. InuYasha unplugged his alarm clock, and threw it at the door. The person, stopped knocking. "InuYasha?" Miroku asked as he walked-in. InuYasha didn't answer. Miroku took a seat next to his bestfriend. "I see that you're still upset." He said with a smile. No answer. "Should I call Kik-" Miroku didn't get to finish. "NEVER say that name in my face." InuYasha said with a death glare. Miroku put his hands-up in defence. "Ah. I see. You and Kik-, I mean K, split." He said in a shaky voice. He had almost said Kikyo's name. No answer. "I think that you should be happy. Now, you've got your life free to do whatever. WITHOUT, Kik-, I mean, K, holding you back." Miroku said with a smile, to try to attempt to calm his bestfriend down. InuYasha STILL, didn't answer. "I'll just see you tomorrow. You're lucky that tomorrow's Saturday. You'll get to start your new life, fresh." Miroku said with a wave, as he left. InuYasha burried his face into his pillow, and cried.

It was the next day. InuYasha hadn't left his room, and it was about noon. "I need to talk to Kagome." He said as he looked at his black phone. His claw, didn't reach for it. He started to wonder why. "I've been talking to her alot, lately. Does it bother her?" He said to himself as he looked at his ceiling, as there was a knock on the door. InuYasha didn't answer. He was relieved, when he heard footsteps walking down the stairs.

The gang, was standing outside their friends house. "It didn't work." Kouga said as he took a seat on the porch. "Then who-else will he talk to?" Miroku asked. Sango's eyes lit-up, as she reached for her cell. She called someone that she knew that she could depend on.

In about five minutes, Sango gave a sigh of relief, when she saw her bestfriend walking towards her. "What'd you guys want me for?" Kagome asked. Sango knocked on the front door. Sesshomaru answered it. "Here she is." Sango said with a pointed finger. Kagome was confused. Sesshomaru's facial expression didn't change. He grabbed Kagome's sleve, and dragged her inside, and up the stairs. Sesshomaru stopped infront of a gray door. He knocked on the door. Still no anser. "Go ahead." He said with his emotionless voice, as he walked down the stairs. Kagome hesitated, as she walked in. She took a seat in a chair, next to her crush's bed. InuYasha stared at her, with life-less eyes. Kagome was shocked. She thought that it was about her. When Kagome was about to say something, InuYasha out his finger on her lips. He didn't smile. "It's not you. I just don't wanna talk right now." He said in an emotionless tone. Kagome just nodded, and removed the finger. She tried her best not to say anything. Sometimes, Kagome would steal a glance at her crush. But once he would turn and look at her, she would look away, blushing. For the first time that day, InuYasha laughed. Kagome looked at her crush, and smiled. "I'm glad that I was able to make him laugh. It seems like he needed it. Even though, I have no-clue what I did." She said to herself as she brought her legs up to her chest, and wrapped her arms around them. "You okay?" InuYasha asked. Those were his first words of the day. Kagome's felt herself blush. "What about you? Sango says that there's something wrong with you." She said with a confused tone. InuYasha stared at the ceiling, closing his eyes. He sighed, and began his story. Kagome listened to every detail. From the dirty deatils, to the shitty ones. "I'm sorry that Kikyo dumped you." She said in a whisper as she looked down. She lifted her head, when her crush laced his claw, with her hand, his eyes still closed. "I'm okay, NOW. I just needed someone to talk to about it." InuYasha said with his eyes still closed. Kagome smiled. "What are you thinking about?" She asked. She knew pretty-much everything about her crush, including the many faces of him. From the pissed face, to the thinking face. "You." InuYasha simply said, as he slowly opened his eyes. Kagome blushed a DEEP pink. InuYasha looked over to her, and smiled. He sat-up, and lifted the girl into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her. Kagoem leaned into his chest. InuYasha laid back down, and closed his eyes. Kagome didn't bother moving.

About an hour later, Kagome had no-idea where she was. She realized, that she was on her crush's back. "You're up." InuYasha said with a smile, as he turned to face his semi-girlfriend. Kagome returned the smile. She hopped-off his back, and struggled to her feet. "So ... where are we going?" She asked. InuYasha laced his hand with hers, and tugged her to start walking. "Nowhere. I just needed to get outside." He said as he saw someone that he never wanted to face. He hid his eyes. "What is it, InuYasha?" Kagome asked as she looked where the Hanyou was looking. Kagome gasped. "Come on!" She yelled as she started dragging her friend, away from the agony. Kikyo was sitting on a bench at the park, with a young man, named Nakuru Hengu. "InuYasha. You okay?" Kagome asked once the two were far enough so that they could talk. InuYasha didn't answer. He pulled Kagome into a hug. "I'm fine." He said in a whisper as he rested his chin on her head. Kagome nodded into his chest.

For the rest of the day, InuYasha didn't leave Kagome's sight. He was scared to be alone. He didn't want to experience what had happened to him earlier that day. The two would walk, holding hands, down the street, and window shop at the mall. Nothing special. InuYasha figited, when he started smelling Kouga's scent. It had anger in it. "HE must have seen us together." He said under his breath with a smile.

That Night :

Kagome was sitting on her bed, in a white shirt, and pink pajama pants. She was curious as to what had happened that day. "I even made-out with him, just now. What does that mean?" Kagome asked herself as her phone started ringing. She could almost tell who it was. But when she looked at the caller ID, she cursed herself.

"Hey Sango."

(Long Silence)

"Hey. Kagome, I need you here, with me. Miroku and I broke-up."

"That's all I need to know, I'm coming."

"Thank you, Kagome-chan."

Kagome changed out of her pajama pants, and replaced them with denim jeans. She walked downstairs, and looked at the clock. It was 9:30. Kagome put her black shoes on, and fled. She walked in silence. Talking to herself here-and-there, and thinking about her crush. She blushed, when her bestfriends house came into view. Two people, were sitting on the porch. Kagome took a seat next to her crush. InuYasha looked down, and smiled. He laced his claw, with her hand. Miroku was going to question his friends, when the door swung open. Sango dragged Kagome by the hair, inside. Miroku started laughing. InuYasha glared at his bestfriend. "Just what's so funny?" He asked. Miroku shut-up, and didn't bother saying anything. He knew that he would get clobbered, if he even tried. Still, he smiled to himself. "I see that things are going rather well between Kagome-sama, and yourself." He said in a cheerfull tone. InuYasha thought about knocking his bestfriend out, but didn't. He blushed a small blush, and smiled. "I'm not all that sure." Was all the Hanyou had to say. Just as he said his words, his other bestfriend, appeared. Kouga glared at his friend, as he sat. InuYasha tried to avoid eye-contact. "WHAT?" He finally asked. Kouga didn't answer. He had to get answers. "So what's she got, that we don't?" He asked in a harsh tone. "What are you talking about?" InuYasha asked. Kouga was fuming. "DON'T YOU ACT STUPID! YOU KNOW DAMN RIGHT! HOW COME YOU'D RATHER TALK TO KAGOME, THAN US!" He yelled with a pointed finger. InuYasha didn't answer; He blushed. "Because I wanted to talk to her about it."

Sango was blabbing-on about how much of a pervert her boyfriend is, and that she caught him, rubbing another girls ass. Kagome wasn't listening. She was busy, thinking about her crush. "He's so sweet. Not like the other guys that have asked me out. Wait. He hasn't even asked me out. I don't really mind. I'll just always like him." She said to herself with a smile. Sango noticed. "JUST WHAT ARE YOU SMILING ABOUT!" She yelled. Kagome didn't answer. "I was listening. Go on." She said with a plain face. Sango nodded, and began her story from the beginning, AGAIN.

It was about 9:45. Kagome still hadn't left the house. InuYasha was starting to get worried, and, it was almost his curfew. "I wanna see her before I have to go!" He said to himself with a sigh. He was already annoyed, when Kouga wouldn't stop staring at him. Miroku couldn't stop thinking about his girlfriend. "Say InuYasha. Do you think that she can do it?" Miroku asked, referring to Kagome. InuYasha nodded. "Besides, she helped me." As InuYasha thought his thoughts, the door opened, and Sango stepped-out. She sat next to her boyfriend, without a word. Kagome stepped-out, closing the door, and grabbed her friends' claws. She dragged them to start walking. Kouga thought that he was in heaven. InuYasha was alittle jealous. "Damn him." He said under his breath as he squeezed the girls hand that he was holding. Kagome sensed that there was something bothering her life-long crush. She was glad, when Kouga's house, came into view. "See-ya tomorrow, Kouga-kun." Kagome said with a smiled, as she let-go of his hand. Kouga smiled and waved, as he walked into his house. InuYasha smiled, and swung Kagome onto his back. He started walking in the direction to her house. "InuYasha. What'd you wanna talk to me about?" Kagome asked as she rested her head to the side of her crush's back. InuYasha blushed. "It's nothing." He simply said as he crossed the street, about three minutes from his destination. After those three minutes, InuYasha cursed himself. "I could have walked slower." He said to himself, as he took the Kagome off his back. InuYasha placed his lips on hers. She leaned into the kiss.

Next Day :

InuYasha was pretty-much having a shitty day so far. He hadn't seen Kagome. He was sitting with his friends, in his garage. "Sooo ... InuYasha. Is there something going-on AT ALL between the two of you?" Miroku asked with a smile. InuYasha eyes that were filled with happiness, turned fierce. He knocked his bestfriend out. Kouga was growling. "She just takes pitty on you." He simply said, as he left, just as Kagome appeared. InuYasha couldn't stop thinking about what his demon-friend, had said. "What if Kouga's right? Does Kagome just hang-out with me, because she feels sorry for me?" He asked himself as he stood, and walked up to the girl that was walking towards him. He laced his claw with her hand, and dragged her into his house, and up the stairs to his room. InuYasha sat the girl in his chair, and knelt. He put his claws, on her shoulder. He looked DEEP into her eyes. "I need to ask you something. Why do you hang-out with me?" InuYasha asked as he looked down. Kagome blushed. "I hang-out with you, because I can tell that you're hurting from the whole Kikyo thing, and ... because I like you." She said in a whisper. InuYasha felt his heart skip a beat. He lifted his head, and kissed the girl that had said the words that he had wanted to hear. Kagome leaned into the kiss. InuYasha stood, still in the kiss. He carried Kagome bridal style, and laid on his back, on his bed, putting the girl ontop of him. InuYasha broke the kiss, and used his thump to rub circles in her back. Kagome turned her head to the side, on her crush's chest. She slowly closed her eyes. "Did you really mean what you said?" InuYasha asked as he stared at his ceiling. Kagome opened her eyes, and kissed her crush's chin. She smiled. "Yeah." About ten minutes later, InuYasha and Kagome were watching TV in the living room, hand-in-hand.
