Chapter 8 - Trouble Brewing

Here's the 8 chapter! ^_^ I hope you'll like it everyone!

Meanwhile, as Miroku raced outside to catch a crying Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome were left in the room staring at each other…

Inuyasha's POV

Just stay calm Inuyasha…

I tried to stay calm, although it was obvious that my anger was getting the best of me.

"Kagome." I called her name, not surprised at my angered tone.

She looked up at me. "Inuyasha…?" she fidgeted and looked away uneasily.

How could you look at me so innocently after all that?

I was already screaming in my head. I couldn't help it. Oh Kami. What just happened? Even I couldn't imagine something like that to happen. But it did. Miroku, that pervert. My perverted best friend, to be exact. How could he kiss the girl I love like that? In front of me and Sango no less! How I wish I could beat the living soul out of him!

"Inuyasha, it isn't what you think, believe me…" She bit her lower lip nervously. Ha! Like it made everything nicer. No way. I can't believe Kagome looked this weak, this vulnerable, but I don't care much at all. She's always been weak anyway. Right.

"Do you even know what I think?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as I could. But of course, she noticed that I was just trying my hardest to suppress my anger. I am always hot-headed, aren't I? Hmph. This day was no exception.

She looked down and fidgeted again. Then she sat down on the nearest chair and sighed. Kicking gently a few remains of what appeared to be a broken chair, she looked up at me again.

What the hell is she trying to say?

"It was an accident." She said simply. As if I got something as vague as that! No, it was too vague.

"So you think kissing him was an accident?" I asked, my tone rising again.

I heard her whimper quietly. "Y-yes Inuyasha…"

"Right." If a while ago I was angry, this time I was furious. And I don't even know why I feel this way. She's not my girlfriend after all. Why should I care? She can go around kissing a million different men and I shouldn't even care. But this time, I guess it was the worst of the worst. The girl of my dreams kissed the boy I trusted the most, my best friend, in front of his beloved girl. I was mad at Miroku, but surprisingly, I was even more mad at Kagome. I always thought she was just a reserved female, but it appears not. Hmph.

So different from Kikyo…

"You're even worse than Kikyo." I blurted out unexpectedly. Call me stupid or whatever, even I was surprised. Kagome looked at me with wide eyes brimming with tears.

"W-what d-did you s-s-say?" she stammered, tears falling down her cheeks.

I didn't know how to respond to that. A crying Kagome was a pretty weird sight to me.

"Kikyo. You're worse than she is." Oh well, too late to back out.

"How dare you…!" She walked up to me and lifted a hand.

I smirked. "You're gonna slap me for telling the truth? Pathetic." I never knew I was this cross. I am cross, but not like this.

Kagome's tears fell harder. "Miroku is so much better than you Inuyasha. He's not like you at all. He's not as arrogant as you are, and he's not as heartless too!"

I turned away from her. She was wrong. I have a heart. But my heart was broken enough. Kagome had broken it enough. I didn't need her to compare me with Miroku. It'll just make matters worse if she did.

"What? You're afraid to hear the truth? That Miroku is better than you in everything?" She screamed at me.

"I'm just not too stupid to fall for your stupid excuses." I replied haughtily then looked back at her.

"Inuyasha, Miroku is very good kisser, I'll have you know! Of course, I should know, since he just kissed me a while ago!" she continued while tears were still falling down her cheeks.

I eyed her dangerously. "Miroku kissed you?" I hissed.

"Yes! You have any problem with that?" Kagome screamed again as I turned away.

"No." That's it, I'm not falling for her little game. She was trying to make me mad, that was obvious enough.

"You are jealous, aren't you? Because you know I'll never let you kiss me." she spoke firmly, surprising me a bit. So Kagome wanted to play this game this much? I still won't fall for it, but it doesn't hurt to give her a taste of her own medicine.

I hurriedly turned back to her and grabbed her lips with mine. Before I could even think of what I just did, I felt Kagome kissing me back.

Tell me who's a better kisser now...

Kagome's POV

It felt like an eternity before Inuyasha let go of my lips.

When I felt his lips on mine, I knew right then and there that if I could, I would never have let him go. The warmth of his lips brought me into another world. I loved the feeling. It was wonderful. But soon enough, we had to part our lips in order to breath.

"Inuyasha…" I wanted to slap him, but I couldn't. I couldn't pretend that I didn't like that kiss. I loved it. And I know that he knew that.

He smirked at me. "What, is Miroku better than me?"

I smirked back and used the same playful tone he just used. "I couldn't tell. You and Sango disturbed us in the middle of it."

He turned away again.

"Hmph."

I put my hand on my chest. I was breathing so hard and my heartbeat was so fast. But my heart was broken and I was aware of that. Inuyasha had broken it when he said that I was worse than Kikyo. It hurt me so much to be compared to that girl.

After a while Inuyasha left, leaving me alone in that empty classroom, crying my heart out.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Not only did I kiss Miroku, but I kissed him in front of my best friend.

I would be lying if I said I didn't like it when Miroku's lips touched mine…

"Sango…" I whispered to myself. "I'm sorry Sango… I'm sorry…"

I cried again, now for our friendship. How could she forgive me? I had kissed Miroku, the only boy Sango has ever loved. I knew I did something wrong to Miroku too. I kissed him. When my chair broke, I landed on top of him, but our lips didn't touch at all. When I heard Inuyasha coming, I touched Miroku's lips with mine. I had wanted to make Inuyasha jealous, but I didn't know that Sango was behind us. I didn't know.

If only I knew… I would never have done that. Sango… please… forgive me…

And I wonder, would Miroku still go along with our plan?

Our plan is to pretend that we are dating just to make Inuyasha and Sango jealous. I don't know if would still go for it after all these has happened. But no doubt, after students hear what had happened, they would surely think that we are dating…

I felt a pang of guilt when I realized I was still thinking of that stupid plan instead of thinking about more serious matters. But everything that happened today was so mind-blowing! I had kissed Miroku and Inuyasha had kissed me too!

I wiped my tears away and stood up. I still feel guilty, lying to Inuyasha like that. I said that Miroku kissed me. That was one big lie that I had no choice but to stand up to.

Still… I pity Sango so much. But it's not my fault that both Inuyasha and Miroku liked me better, right?

To be continued…

Kagome is so mean. Don't worry, she turn nicer as time goes by. Heehee.

Please review! It won't hurt you know. I love reviews since they always brighten my days.

And thanks for reading this chapter!
