Chapter 5 - Best Friend's Betrayal
The last chapter was pretty weird, yap, I agree to that… ^_^ Hmmm… I don't really know what to write now… if I'll go with Sango/Mir or Mir/Kag. It's confusing…
Jona-chan, you thought Inuyasha confessed to Sango huh? Well… I planned to make that chapter a bit… "mysterious" and "confusing". Heehee… sorry. But it'll be shown in this chapter.
Yuuki-chan, you'll find out soon enough. Oh, and there are two couples here, mind you.
Archer babe, thank you so much for saying so! (Well, unless you meant it sarcastically…)
Inuyashalover221, if this was real, Sango would have killed Kagome already…(kidding).
Anyway, enjoy this chapter if you please…
Sango's POV
Hmmm… I guess I'll go to the classroom first…
I decided to go to our classroom to call Kagome. It was almost lunch time anyway. Plus, Inuyasha and I made a deal.
Oh, and Miroku and Kagome are there, maybe I should say sorry to Miroku… I got all mad at him because of that…
Apologizing seemed to be the best thing to do back then. I admit, I always looked mad when he was around, but that was only to hide my nervousness. And my blush.
Yes, I should apologize to him. And to Kagome too. I'm sure she won't 'steal' Miroku from me… I guess I'm over-thinking things again... Poor Inuyasha if that happens though…
I sighed to myself.
Poor me…
I started to walk away while my thoughts drifted off to the near past…
~~~START OF FLASHBACK~~~
"Sango?"
"What?" I asked him back, and stared at him.
"Does Kagome love Miroku too?"
I flinched.
"Ummm…"
"Inuyasha… what do you mean by too?" I questioned. I was curious. I wanted to know why but at the same time, I was afraid that I might just hurt myself.
"Well… don't get me wrong, Miroku only thinks of her as a friend."
"Then why did you say 'too'?"
"You love him, right?"
"Yes…"
"I just… thought. Miroku's really close with Kagome."
"You're jealous?"
"Nnnnnnnnn…"
"Nnnnnnnnn?"
"No…"
"Then…"
"Not much."
"Not much?"
"I… still love her."
"…"
"But… she's been avoiding me these past… months."
"Because she thinks you're in love with Kikyo."
"Who said I am?"
"You dated her."
"But that's only that."
"But still… you dated someone."
"She got mad at me because of that?"
"Who wouldn't?"
"A normal girl wouldn't."
"You're saying we're abnormal?"
"You are?"
"Well… you boys are always dating! Like… different girls!"
"What different? Miroku and I dated the same girl."
I slapped him lightly on the face. "See? You dated Kikyo didn't you?"
"Hey! There's nothing bad with that. I didn't like her anyway."
"Didn't?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't."
"Hmph. The way she clung to you was like a leech on a host!"
"Hey!"
"What?"
Inuyasha made a face. "Don't get so puffy. You're prettier when you're smiling."
I blushed. "Inuyasha…"
"Hey… don't you know that Miroku likes you better when you're smiling? He said your smiles are cute."
"Miroku?"
"Yeah. We're best friends, aren't we?"
"He's your ONLY best friend?"
"Sango… you're my GIRL best friend."
"Heehee..."
"There you go, now you're laughing!"
"Sheesh… Inuyasha…"
"'A while ago I was crying, and now I'm laughing because of you!' is that what what you wanted to say?"
"Yes."
"I suggest you go talk to Miroku."
"Talk?" I stared at him in aghast.
"What? You have to talk to him. Apologize!"
"I… can't."
"Why?"
"He hates me!" I shuddered at the thought.
Inuyasha held my chin. "He doesn't."
"But…"
"He's… shy."
"Him? Inuyasha don't be a fool."
"He is shy. Just say sorry."
"Got any other plans?"
"*sigh* Sango, do you want to know if Miroku really loves you?"
"Ye-yes… I guess so."
"Then, we can pretend that we're together!"
"US?"
"Yeah. It'll be the perfect plan! The perfect love story!"
"But… wouldn't Kagome get jealous too?"
"That's it Sango. We have to make them jealous. Then you'll get Miroku and I'll get Kagome!"
"Get?"
"That's pretty much like it."
"Hmmm… so I should still apologize to Miroku first?"
"Yeah."
"Hmmm… fine…"
"Okay! So, we'll think of strategies…"
While Inuyasha was still muttering about our "perfect" plan, I began to think about Miroku again.
'Will you really get jealous, Miroku?', I thought.
I glanced over at Inuyasha. He stared at me for a few seconds then asked.
"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-promise to… one another?"
"Promise…"
"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!"
I glared 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!"
I ran away from him…
~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~
Hmmm… I'm not mad at you Inuyasha.
I'm still sticking to our plan.
I know you're worried about me, Inuyasha. You may not be the dramatic or emotional type, but I can feel that you really care about me. I can't blame you. We're best friends after all.
I headed over to the doorway of our classroom. I can see someone sitting on a chair inside.
I guess that's Kagome… hmmm… wonder where Miroku is?
I pushed open the doorway. What I saw next made me wish that I should never have opened the door in the first place.
KAGOME! How... why?
Inuyasha's POV
Hmmm… our perfect plan wasn't even close to perfect…
How could I make Kagome jealous without making myself jealous too?
Augh… I love Kagome…
And I don't want to make Sango down… but... I have feelings for Sango too...
This is driving me nuts.
My thought were all in a whirl as I started off to our classroom. Upon arriving there, I saw Sango standing in the back doorway, staring at something, or someone, inside.
I wonder what's wrong…
Sango's right hand was still holding on to the doorknob while her right hand was clenched to a fist. Her eyes were all watery and her face was so pale I thought she was about to faint.
Why… is she crying?
I hurried over to the back doorway. Before arriving there, I passed by the front doorway first. In my peripheral vision, something… caught my eye and I stared directly at the open door in front of me.
What… the…
Lying on the floor were two students. They seemed to be kissing.
I ran inside and gaped at what I saw.
No…
Kagome was lying on top of Miroku, who seemed to be shocked. I saw Kagome glance at me.
Miroku just suddenly pushed Kagome off him and stood up. The girl just stared at me, visibly shaken.
I glanced over to the back doorway and saw Sango. She was staring at Miroku and was beginning to cry.
In a minute, Sango started to run while Miroku followed her.
Kagome was left, still staring, with me in the room.
What will I do?
Sango's POV
No! No! NO!
I ran away, my tears flowing endlessly from my eyes.
I can't believe what I just saw! No! I won't believe it!
Suddenly I felt someone pull my arm. I looked behind me and saw…
Miroku…
"What?" I snapped.
"Sango…"
"Did I disturb your moment with Kagome?" I lashed out angrily.
"I…"
Not letting him explain, I burst into more tears.
"I hate you! I really hate you, Miroku! JUST GO BACK TO HER! I'm sure she wasn't satisfied yet! I'm sure she still wants more! Just go back to her! And tell her to forget everything between us! I hate her… I just hate her! I… hate the two of you… I hate you… I hate… you… She's my best friend… I trusted her… Now don't tell me you want to explain! You said before you liked to… to apologize… I was gonna apologize to you but… Augh! I hate you! I hate you! Forget the apologizing! Forget the promise! I… hate you! I can say it for a million times! I just hate…"
All of a sudden, Miroku pulled me closer to him and held my face.
Before I knew it, I was being kissed…
To be continued…
Thanks for reading!
Hmmm… Sango is acting too harshly to someone who's not even her boyfriend… But forgive her fellas' she's got reasons…
Oh, I can't say much of anything anymore so… I just hoped you enjoyed reading. ^_^
