So... Right… ^_^ Here's the 3rd chapter! I hope you'll all like it!

(Thank you, inuyashalover221, for the wonderful review!)

P.S. Like I said, I don't own Inuyasha. Some wonderful... okay, okay, you know what I'm gonna say.

Enjoy reading!

Sango's POV

"Ummm… somebody else?" I asked him, quite confused.

"Sango, you do know that she doesn't like me at all… Kagome always acts angry when I'm around..." he said.

If only you knew… Inuyasha… if only you know what she feels really feels about you… Maybe Kagome can't tell you yet... but she's hurt too... The two of you are hurting each other, and you don't even realize... But I don't want any of your getting hurt, because you are both my best friend...

"S-sango?" he asked with a worried voice, pulling me out from my thoughts.

"Ummm… yeah?"

"Do you really like Miroku so much?" Inuyasha suddenly asked me.

I was taken aback by his question.

"We-well…"

"Hmmm… I guess I should change my question then…" he told me. "Why do you like him so much? I mean… you are seatmates with him in school… and you are paired up together in a love team… but… so what? You can like whoever you want!"

I stared at Inuyasha intently. He seemed to be having some trouble talking to me.

Oh Inuyasha… that's why Kagome always gets jealous with me… She thinks the two of us have something else... a relationship... other than being best friends...

He suddenly surprised me with another question.

"D-did you say something? I heard you talk about Kagome..."

"N-no… I… I didn't speak."

"Anyway, why do you like him so much?"

"I-Inuyasha… I can't… I can't really answer that…"

"Why not?"

"You… you don't understand…"

"I suppose I don't but… Miroku is oblivious to what you are feeling!"

"I… I know…"

"…"

"And that's better!"

"How can that be better, Sango? He always hurts you!"

"He hurts me because… it's my fault…"

"How can it be your fault?"

"Inuyasha… you can't blame me if… if I fell in love with Miroku!"

"Y-you…"

"Yes! I'm… I'm in love with him already!"

"…"

"You can't blame me… we were the best of friends when we were kids… just like… you and… Kagome…"

"But that was… a long time ago, Sango."

"I know. But I would never forget that time. We were always happy then. And… and do you… do you r-remember? Our p-p-promises to… one another?"

"Promises…"

"Yes… y-you… you promised Kagome that… you'll… you'll marry her when we grow up… and Miroku… he… p-promised me… I would be his… his 'princess' someday…"

"But… that was years ago… and those promises… Miroku's promise to you… th-that… that was just a five-year-old's promise!" he looked at me as if I was some sort of a crazy girl.

I glared angrily at him.

"You boys should KNOW BETTER than break a promise you made to girls!"

"H-hey… don't give me that look…"

"I don't care… you.. you promised… the two of you! You both promised! You have to keep those promises!"

That was all. I began crying again, and decided to run away from him…

Inuyasha's POV

I just stood there, hopeless, and watched as Sango run away from me.

Grrrrr… Inuyasha you idiot! You shouldn't have brought that topic up! You know how much she loves Miroku! That creep! He's always hurting Sango! And I let him. Come to think of it… why do I let him? Grrrrrrrrr… This is all because of that stupid promise! Now I NEED to do everything just to make Kagome fall in love with me… I like her, but I have stronger feelings for Sango... But still, I have to make Kagome and me end up together...

Now… I don't really know how to do that…

So where should I go now? Hmmm… I guess I should look for Kagome… I'll just… I'll just do this for Sango… just for her…

I walked towards the classroom, and saw two people inside.

Kagome was there but… she was with someone else.

Miroku.

Sango's POV

What's wrong with Inuyasha? He's suddenly so… so… strange.

I continued running. I didn't want to see anyone. Especially not Kagome.

I mean, I'm really jealous with her. And I've got VALID reasons.

Number one: She's my best friend and yet she does that all the time.

What would someone feel if she figured out that her best friend is… is "flirting" with her crush? But don't get me wrong, I trust Kagome a lot. I trust Miroku too. But I can't help but feel jealous.

Number two: She knows I love Miroku so much.

Yes… Sango… you love Miroku…

At the thought of Miroku's name, my mind slowly drifted back to the past.

In my mind, I saw two girls. Two ten-year-old girls, giggling and laughing like the whole world belongs to them.

~~~START OF FLASHBACK~~~

"Sango! Remember what happened?"

"Yes, Kagome! I… I can't believe that Miroku… Miroku said that!"

"Yeah! That wasn't even in the script!"

"Hee… hee… Ka… Kagome? You think… you think maybe Miroku really meant that?"

"Of course he did! Sango, it's obvious that Miroku likes you too!"

"R-really?"

"Yes! You know… I wish when we grow up… we'll be actors and actresses too! We'll be our own princesses! And Miroku and Inuyasha will be our princes!"

"Ka-Kagome! That's… impossible!"

"It's not, Sango."

"Wh-what…"

"I think they like us too!"

"But… I think Miroku is pretty weird… and Inuyasha's hair is so… strange too…"

"Hey! I like the color! It's like white! Or… or silver! Yeah, it's silver! It's a very nice color, you know!"

"Well… I guess so… but Kagome, why is Inuyasha like that? And… and he has fangs or something. Plus he has doggy ears and..."

"Sango! You know that he's a hanyou, right?"

"Well… yes. But-"

"No buts! He's cute! So are his ears. I love his ears! You do too, right?"

"But… *sigh*"

"What?"

"Nothing… it's just that… you're so head-over-heels in love with him…"

"I think he is too with me!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Hmmm… remember Miroku and Inuyasha's promise to us?"

"When we were 5?"

"Yup."

"Of course I do. How can I even forget that?"

"Well… I think it will come true!"

"Huh?"

"It will! It's destiny!"

"You speak like… like a lady already, you know?"

"Hey! I'm already 10! And you speak even more mature than I do."

"But you're just 10."

"Sango, 6 or 7 years from now, I can see us famous!"

"Wha?"

"Hmmm?"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

"Just believe me okay?"

"Famous? I think that's not the right word..."

"Oh yeah, I forgot Sango, you're already famous right now."

"He-hey! I came from a family of Demon-slayers!"

"What about it?"

"Want me to slay the demon inside you?"

"He-hey!"

"Hahahahaha! Just kidding Kagome!"

"Hmph. That's not like you to joke at all! You're usually the silent, serious, hot-headed, sore-loser…"

"Grrrrrrrr…"

"Kidding!"

~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~

We were so happy back then…

I let my feet take me wherever. I was too upset to control my movements.

I wonder what happened?

I suddenly found myself in the doorway of our classroom, staring at the unexpected scene before me.

I don't know how many minutes I stood there but I ended up running away, crying again. All of a sudden, I felt someone grab my arm.

To be continued…

Thanks for reading!

I'm sorry if that was a bit short…

Oh, the next chapter is all about what happened between Kagome and Miroku and will be entitled, "Between You and Me, Miroku and Kagome…"

If you're itching to find out about the "unexpected scene" well… I guess you have to wait for one more chapter before that…

Oh, before I forget, PLEASE DROP A REVIEW!
