Chapter 9 – Jealousy Strikes
9th chapter! Ah, I don't wanna write this chapter very much, but I guess I have to. =)) You'll figure out why I said that soon enough.
Enjoy reading!
(Hmm... just something I wanted to say to Basukami, this chapter is something like Inu/San too. If you're still reading my story, I hope you'll like this chapter.)
"I understand that you had accidentally hurt Kagome, but it's no reason to hurt yourself like this Inu!" Sango scolded her friend exasperatedly. He hadn't been sleeping for several nights already since the day the two of them had seen Miroku and Sango kissing. And now Sango was over at Inuyasha's house, making sure he'll fall asleep.
"I got too cross with her, Sango…" Inuyasha choked out. He was lying on his bed in his red pajamas while Sango sat in a chair near the bed in baby blue pajamas.
Sango sighed. "Look… she hurt you first. And she hurt you more."
"That's no reason…"
The 17-year-old girl smiled sadly at her friend and sat beside him on the bed. After all that Kagome has done, Inuyasha still loves her so much… "Inuyasha… please, jut stop hurting yourself like this." She patted his head. "You're not like this at all."
Inuyasha looked up at her with sad eyes. "Kagome hates me now, that's for sure."
Sango put an arm around Inuyasha in a friendly manner. "Don't worry. Kagome can't get angry with you for too long you know." After a while she added, "She doesn't have any reason to be angry with you anyway. None of these is your fault."
To her surprise Inuyasha placed his head on her shoulder. She felt oddly strange about that behavior, but she shook that feeling off. "It's not Miroku's either?" he asked.
"Miroku… and I are pretty much fine now Inuyasha." Sango gulped. "It's not his fault, I promise. Everything was an accident."
"That's nice." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Yeah. The only thing we need now is for you and Kagome to make up." She smiled genuinely at him.
Inuyasha looked up at her. "You think?"
"Positive." Sango winked.
The silver-haired boy picked his head up from Sango's shoulder. "But Kagome didn't seem to regret what happened at all. I talked to her that afternoon."
"Did she say so?" The girl's eyes narrowed.
Inuyasha thought for a minute. "Not exactly. She said it was an accident. And she cried. But she didn't look regretful or anything."
Sango gave him a what-do-you-mean look. Inuyasha shrugged. "Well, I don't know for sure Sango. How can I make up with someone like that?"
"Like what?" she raised an eyebrow.
Inuyasha sighed. "Like… well… I feel as if she cheated on me… you know."
"Cheated? You're not even together yet." Sango wrinkled her nose, sensing that their conversation was a very familiar one.
"I know. We're not together yet. But who knows? When we're already together, she might go around kissing everyone in front of my face, not even caring about my feelings or something."
Sango heaved a sigh of relief. Whew… I honestly thought it was going like my conversation with Miroku…
"Does Kagome like me?"
"Huh?"
"Does Kagome… like me?"
"Inuyasha, that's not exactly a question you should go asking me. I've told you a million times, I won't answer that for you. Go ask Kagome."
"It looks as if she does, but I'm not sure. On the other hand, you keep reminding me about the promise we made… 11 years ago, was it? Anyway, the two of you are bestfriends, so I guess something's up."
Sango went quiet for a few minutes.
"It's not… were, is it?" Inuyasha asked, referring to the 'are bestfriends' part.
"No… I don't know…"
"Sango…" Inuyasha went closer again and this time, he hugged Sango as she started to cry.
"I don't know anymore Inuyasha… why does it hurt so much? Kagome is and will always be my bestfriend… but she knows how much I love Miroku and yet… she did that… I've always believed that someday, those promises you made to us will finally come true… I keep hoping, and it's all because of Kagome…"
"Sango…"
"She betrayed me… she did…"
Inuyasha held her head in his hands and looked at her in the eye. "Look. I was down too because of what she did. But you cheered me up. So cheer up now. And… I apologize for bringing that topic back… okay?"
Sango started wiping her tears away. The silver-haired boy hugged her once again and said, "You don't look so fierce when you cry."
The young demon-slayer playfully pushed the hanyou away. "Now do I look fierce?" she asked and turned away. Inuyasha grabbed her arm and put her down on the bed, tickling her.
"Hey… Inuyasha! Stop! Stop it!" Sango scolded in between giggles. Inuyasha was laughing himself. "What if I don't want?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Sango slapped his arm. "What if Kagome and Miroku walks in on us at this moment?" she asked, smiling. Inuyasha replied with a naughty grin, "Their loss, not ours."
Sango smiled. "After all this drama, I'm starting to doubt if you're really Inuyasha."
"Hey! What do you think of Inuyasha?" Inuyasha asked, pretending to pout.
"Inuyasha…? Well, I think he's a mean, hot-headed, irritable and spoiled dog demon who's always shouting and who's always angry and who always wants things to go his way." Sango said, pretending to be serious although she can't help but smile a bit.
"Hmph. What a nice description." The hanyou said, sulking.
Sango touched his doggy ears. "But still, that mean, hot-headed, irritable, and spoiled dog demon who's always shouting and who's always angry and who always wants things to go his way is my cutest, most reliable, most dependable, strongest, bravest, kindest, most caring and most funny best friend in the whole wide world who's always here for me when I am down and who'll do anything for me just to make me happy. And I love him a whole lot!"
Inuyasha smiled and tackled Sango down on the bed. "Oi… hey, Inuyasha! What…"
"Thank you." The silver-haired boy said with a smile. "I love you a lot too Sango."
"Hmph. But of course, I love Miroku mo-" Sango was cut off when Inuyasha put a finger on her lips.
"I know, I know. But I do hope he'll just be your boyfriend, or your husband, someday…" Inuyasha said, sighing.
Sango looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I said, I hope I'll be your bestfriend forever Sango." Inuyasha told Sango, looking at her expectantly.
Aww… Inuyasha… She immediately hugged him. "Of course! No one can ever replace you Inuyasha." Then she added, "Just imagine! My husband's bestfriend is my boy bestfriend while my husband's girl bestfriend is my bestfriend who's the wife of my boy bestfriend!" she squealed happily.
Inuyasha sweat-dropped. "Honestly, I didn't understand anything but bestfriend there."
"Dear Inuyasha… don't get your mind too worked up on it!" she grinned as he pulled her in for another hug.
As the two were happily talking inside Inuyasha's room, it just so happens that someone was passing by his bedroom window that night.
Stupid Inuyasha…stupid Sango… stupid, stupid!
A black-haired girl wearing a green sailor fuku passed by and stopped in front of the window when she saw the two people inside.
Sango… how could you… I thought you would never betray me…
She kept staring at them until tears started falling down her tears.
How could you Sango… you're like my sister already…
As she saw them pull into another hug she forced her wobbly legs to run away.
Why have you done that to me Sango?
Crying, the girl with long black hair hurried up the steps to her home, the Higurashi shrine.
Just you wait… Sango…
She threw herself on the bed, not minding her worried mother's calls.
Miroku… our plan… we will do it… I will ask him to help me…
She wiped her tears away and gazed out of the window.
Sango… I will make you taste… the wrath of Kagome Higurashi…
Trying to calm her raging heart, she lied down and willed herself to fall asleep.
Inuyasha…
To be continued…
I honestly don't know where I got that. But they are so OOC, aren't they? Haha, once again, I got a little carried away I guess. ^_^
