Author's Note: Okay I just couldn't resist! I had to write more. I hope reading this is as addicting as it is writing it. And once again, thank you Kouga's Archi for the review. Sorry that I had your pen name wrong when I first posted my second chapter. :(

Disclaimer: I do not own most of the characters in this story so don't turn me in for fraud or anything. :(

Recap: In the last chapter both Kagome and Inuyasha are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They both want to express the feelings that they old for one another, but are afraid to express them for what could happen. So Kagome decided to go out for a night with her girls to help Kagome forget everything that she experienced the day before, and maybe pick up a guy. ;)

Chapter 3

Moving On

Eri, Ayumi, Yuka and Sango arrived at Kagome's house so they could get ready to go bar hopping. The girls really didn't know why Kagome wanted to go bar hopping, all they really knew is that Hojo had broke her heart severely and she just wanted to forget it. Even if it meant that Kagome had to get plastered until she was able to forget it even a little.

"So why isn't Faith joining us tonight? She usually loves going bar hopping." Sango asked while applying her make-up.

"Yeah, she usually likes hooking up with a guy or two." Ayumi added.

"Well she's probably to busy being on Hojo cock to even think about bar hopping, with us or not."

"What?" The four girls asked in unison.

"That's why my heart is so broken. I ended up pretty much walking in on them yesterday. Faith hadn't made it to the bedroom yet, but I had heard enough beforehand to know that it was her destination." Kagome said while applying her mascara.

"Wow, I can't believe it are you okay?" Eri asked Kagome.

"Yeah chick, are you okay? Considering that yesterday was your two and a half year anniversary?" Sango asked as well.

"I'll be fine, especially if I hang out with Inuyasha more. He's been a real help. He even let me stay over at his house last night."

"Oooh…." The girls said like something had happened.

"Nothing like that you perverts! I just was feeling so shitty that I asked him if he minded if I stayed overnight, I really didn't want to be alone last night after what I saw. So he ended up making me breakfast after I woke up, I told him the whole story, and then he drove me home. I mean he might be one of Miroku's best friends, but he doesn't act like him at all."

"Hey, I resent that!" Sango said after hearing Kagome's comment.

"I didn't mean anything by that Sango, and you should know that. I was just simply comparing the two. I mean how long did you wait for Miroku to make his move, and how often does he still flirt with other women?"

"I know Kagome, I know. Maybe I should keep him on a shorter leash."

"Yeah, maybe that will teach him to be a good dog." Yuka joked. Everyone but Sango laughed.

"Hey! That's not fair! Miroku might flirt with other woman, but when he's not he's a very sweet, loving, caring guy. I mean he's honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I want to marry him."

"You know that we're just kidding with you, at least I am. I think I've been the only one that has seen how much you two love each other and it honestly makes me jealous. I just with that I will have a relationship like that one day." Kagome said with a sigh.

"Kagome, you have no idea how bad I feel. I feel like the girls and I pushed you into a relationship with Hojo. I mean, not to bring her name up or anything, but Faith and Inuyasha were the only two that pretty much knew how much of a bastard he was. Yeah, she ended up making him cheat on you in the long run, but honestly I think that he was just taking advantage of the fact that she pretty much knew that he wouldn't resist her. But none the less, what she did was wrong." Sango said trying to make it seem that she wasn't trying to excuse what Faith had done, for not under any circumstance she was. "Hey Kagome, I just thought about something… do you still like a guy that just so happens to have long flowing black hair, his favorite color is red, and he would rather go shoeless?"

"What?" Kagome asked not really understanding Sango's question.

"You know. Do you still have feelings for Inuyasha?"

"What? How did you… how did you know?" Kagome asked her all flustered.

"Aha! You do!" Sango squealed. "Then why don't you just try and go out with him. I mean he still likes you; at least he did a few days ago when I last talked to him. He has even way before you and Hojo went out. I didn't know it then or I would have never forced you two together like I did."

"You mean Inuyasha likes me too?" Kagome said with a huge smile on her face. "No, that couldn't be possible. He would have tried to get with me when I told him about Hojo. But he didn't he didn't try to make a move or anything. But he did kiss my forehead a lot and he was being very persistent about me staying there or him over here. So maybe he does have feelings for me. I know what I should do! I should confront him about it when he takes me to pick up my car tomorrow. But if he denies it I'm over him. I can't try and keep holding onto a crush that is more than a decade old. Do any of you know how hard it is to not go crazy because the one guy that you've liked forever doesn't let you know that they like you in return?" All of the girls, beside Sango, shook there heads. Sango nodded hers. "Sango I knew that you would at least understand."

"Hey, just because she has a boyfriend that flirts with anyone that sits to pee doesn't mean that we don't understand! So we haven't had to wait for our crushes as long as you two did, but we did have to wait." Yuka said all defensive.

"Hey, look, I'm sorry for getting you upset by my question, but that doesn't give you the right to drag Sango and her relationship with Miroku into this. I mean, yeah, so they've had their ups and downs, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a loving relationship with one another. If anything, they have the strongest, most loving, almost perfect relationship out of all of us. And I think you're just jealous because you know that too."

Yuka didn't say anything; she just stood there looking at Kagome with a disappointed look across her face. Yeah, she knew that Kagome was right, that she was a little jealous of Sango and Miroku's relationship with one another, but she was too proud to ever admit that.

"So do you chicks still want to go bar hopping or do you just want to buy a whole bunch of alcohol and have a party right here? Instead of leaving the boys at home invite them over. I got a bunch of room that everyone can stay the night and sleep off their hangovers until late in the afternoon." Kagome said hoping that girls would agree with her.

"Okay, I'll call Miroku and tell him to meet us over here. He should be out of work already."

"Okay Sango, so who else wants to stay in tonight?"

"Yeah, it definitely sounds better than going out and getting hit on by tons of guys. You know how jealous Kouga can get." Yuka said leaving the room so she too could call her boyfriend.

"You know what I just realized?" Eri asked Kagome. "If you started to date Inuyasha we could turn out to be sister-in-laws. Um… I guess not really, but sort of."

"Well I guess that leaves me." Ayumi said shuffling her feet across Kagome's wooden floors. "So… um… I'm just gonna call Naraku now."

"What's wrong Ayumi? Why are you acting like this? I thought that you loved Naraku?"

"I do, it's just that I don't know how he feels about me anymore. I feel like he would rather be with someone like Faith than with me."

"Don't even think about it. Look, I'm sure he loves you too. We both know how much of a bad ass he acts like so it's probably just a little hard for him to express his feelings like he wants to. I mean he does hang out with Kouga and a lot of his friends, which makes me wonder how Yuka gets a lot of love and affection from him. But he's different I guess. He's never really let anything get him down though. If he likes someone they know he does."

"That helps a little bit. I just wish that Naraku was a little more affectionate like Kouga. I mean he's the perfect guy for Yuka, I just wish that I felt that Naraku was the perfect guy for me."

"Well I think Naraku is the perfect guy for you. I see the way that he looks at you, and it definitely makes me jealous." Kagome said with a smile and a wink. "I'll be waiting outside. I just feel a bit awkward being in here with all of this emotion in the air."

"Okay, I'll meet you out there once I'm done calling Naraku."

The girls waved to one another and Kagome left her house leaving her gal pals alone to call their boyfriends.

"That's right Miroku, I want you to call Inuyasha and invite him over for Kagome. She's the only person without a date. Even Ayumi has been able to get Naraku down here and you know how stubborn he is." Sango said pleading with Miroku.

"Okay, okay I'll see what I can do, but no promises." Miroku said giving into his girlfriend's demands.

"Thanks sweetie, you're the best."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Now I'll see you in a little bit. Don't forget to get the strong stuff for the guys."

"Well I think Kagome is the one that's buying everything so it will be whatever she wants. Probably vodka, rum, maybe some scotch, and most likely schnapps, you know the stuff that we girls like." Sango said with an innocent smile across her face that Miroku could hear over the phone.

"Alright, I'll see you in a little bit. I love you hunny."

"I love you too."

Sango and Miroku hung up with one another and then Sango went outside with a huge smile on her face. Everyone wondered why she had such a huge smile on her face, but Sango talked everyone into that it was just over something that Miroku had said to her over the phone. Everyone then piled into Ayumi's car, seeing that it was the biggest. Ayumi was very proud of her car, it being an Outlander and all.

Once they had arrived at the neighborhood corner store Kagome and Sango got out of the car to get everything. They picked up rum, coke, orange juice, vodka, schnapps, and some scotch (for the gentlemen). The bill was more than expected so Sango threw some money towards it so they would have enough money to get everything. Kagome thanked Sango, and Sango told her not to mention it, they were friends after all.

Kagome had opened one of the bottles of vodka in the car and the girls were passing it around.

"This tastes so much better with orange juice in it." Eri commented after taking a swig from the bottle.

"It's only because you're a pussy!" Ayumi teased.

"At least I don't like it." Eri tease back.

"Hey, hey bitches, calm down. Ayumi doesn't like pussy she loves it!" Kagome screamed.

"Um… Kagome, I think that you've had way too much already. You drank half the bottle." Sango said worried about her friend.

"Hey, I'm the one with the… is that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as they pulled into Kagome's driveway.

"Yes Kagome, it is. I had Miroku call him to invite him. But considering your state I think that it was a bad idea."

"I never thought that he was going to be here or I wouldn't have drunk so much so soon. I don't want him to see me like this. Tell him to go back home or something, please. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of him."

"I'm sorry Kagome, but if you want him to go home you're going to be the one to tell him, not me. I'm not the one drunk off my ass worried that I'm going to ruin something with someone before that something even starts. If Inuyasha can't love all of you then he can't love any of you. Why do you think that Miroku and I have such a good relationship with one another? I might not like the fact that he flirts with other girls, but I love him regardless. So if Inuyasha can't love you while you're drunk then he doesn't deserve you."

"Okay, he can stay. I guess it will make it easier for him to pick up my car tomorrow." Kagome stepped out of the car and almost fell out. Inuyasha seeing this ran over to her side of the car and was able to catch her before she hit the ground. "Thanks Inuyasha, I almost hurt myself."

"You reek of alcohol; do you really need to drink so much?"

"Yes Inuyasha, I think that I do. I'm trying to forget about all of my hurt and pain, and because someone won't help me I'll let something instead." Kagome said and walked away from Inuyasha so she could open the door to her house. "Now who wants to get this party started?!" Kagome screamed once on her porch and everyone cheered. "Okay… come on in!" Kagome said swinging her door open and everyone ran inside, everyone but Inuyasha that it. He was too busy thinking about what Kagome said.

"'Yes Inuyasha, I think that I do. I'm trying to forget all of my hurt and pain, and because someone won't help me I'll let something instead.' Does that mean that she knows that I like her? The only person that knows other than Miroku is… Sango. I'm gonna have to have a talk with that bitch. She better not have, she better not have."

Inuyasha walked into Kagome's house and sought out Sango. Once he found her, he went over and asked Miroku if he could borrow his girlfriend for a minuet and Miroku gave him his permission. Inuyasha then led Sango into the kitchen where they could speak a bit privately. "Did you tell her?"

"Tell who what?" Sango asked not really getting the just of the question.

"Did you tell Kagome that I like her?"

"Oh that, yeah. But that's only because she likes you too. Do you have anything else to ask me or can I go back to Miroku?'

"I have one more question to ask you then you can go back to him. For how long has she liked me?"

"Um… probably just as long as you liked her, if not a little longer. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go back to my date, and I suggest that you find yours." Sango said giving Inuyasha a wink then walking away.

"She likes me; I can't believe that she likes me. I can't confront her about this now; I want her to be able to remember…"

Inuyasha's thought was cut short, for someone had just pulled him into a very passionate kiss. Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw Kagome there kissing him. She pulled away and smiled. She then began to drag him off to her bedroom.

"Kagome, I can't you're drunk." Inuyasha said trying to stop Kagome from stripping him down to nothing more than his boxers.

"But Inuyasha, we both like each other, so why should that stop you?" Kagome said in a very drunk, but sexy voice.

"Because I'm a gentleman that's why and I don't want to take advantage of you. I love you Kagome, let me love you when you're sober. I don't want to take advantage of you, so please stop."

"Okay, we won't have sex, but at least sleep with me. Just to make sure that I'm alright. I'm scared Inuyasha. I just got you and I don't want to lose you."

Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to her and started to run his fingers through her hair. Kagome soon feel asleep from his warm, firm but gentle touch. Inuyasha soon feel asleep after his love. He just couldn't help it. He hadn't felt this happy since before Kikyou had left him. She ended up cheating on him with Hojo, and that's how he knew that Hojo was the outstanding man that he was claiming to be. If only he would have told Kagome that before she started to date Hojo, maybe she would have been his before now. But at least he could finally call Kagome his, nothing could make him happier. If he only knew how much heartache he would be going through in the morning and how much explaining he has to do, just so he can have a chance to have one more night with Kagome like this.

Morning arrived, and the sun shining through Kagome's window made her headache from her hangover even worse. She turned to see that Inuyasha was in her bed and screamed. "What are you doing in bed with me you pervert?! In only your boxers none the less?! I can't believe that you tried to take advantage of me when I was drunk! I can't believe you! Get out! Get out!" Kagome cried.

"Kagome, please, I can explain." Inuyasha pleaded with Kagome.

"Explain it to me when you're in hell." Kagome said throwing Inuyasha's clothes at him then pushing him through her bedroom door.

"Kagome please…" Was all Inuyasha was able to say before Kagome slammed her bedroom door in his face.

Inuyasha got dressed out in the hall and left. He had to explain this to Kagome, but he didn't know how. The only thing that he would really think of was giving Kagome some time and trying to explain later. He would call Kagome later to see if she still wants him to take her to pick up her car, and if she did, Inuyasha would try to explain himself to her then. If not then he would wait a couple of days, a couple of weeks, even a couple of months, any length of time until he could make things right with the one person that he has loved for so long and probably always would.

Author's Note: Well there's chapter three. I'm really glad to see that my first two chapters have been major hits! I hope that it keeps up and keeps gaining interest. And feel free to review. I like to see what people think of my fanfics. :)
