Love Confession
Chrysolite Heart
A/N: Well thank-you for the support of this and out of request I have decided to write a short but sweet chapter 2. Although this might not be the end depending on where I finish it and what your responses are, so, please enjoy! And I really do wish I owned Inuyasha…but I don't. : (
Chapter 2
The next few days, to say the least, were sufficiently awkward. Yeah, I bet you never would've guessed. It didn't help with Miroku throwing pleading looks at Kagome, Kagome throwing confused looks at both Miroku and Inuyasha and Inuyasha throwing, no hacking, death glares at Miroku. Oddly enough you would think that this might bother Sango but Sango seemed quite calm about it, it made Kagome wonder.
They travelled along quietly down the road. No one said anything, but really, there was nothing to be said. Each of them paced as quietly as possible, as if daring not to make a sound. Inuyasha had eventually stopped chasing after Miroku but there was no saying Inuyasha wouldn't hold it to him. The silence was much more than awkward but an occasional clearing of a throat was the most sound they got out of anyone until sunset that evening. By that time they had reached a small village and decided to take refuge for the night there. When they had all settled down 3 voices spoke at once:
"Kagome?" Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango looked back and forth at each other. Miroku could understand why Inuyasha would want to speak to Kagome, but Sango? Was there something between Sango and Kagome? Oh no. This was very bad. Kagome eventually looked, bewildered between the three sets of eyes gazing at her until she settled on Sango, figuring she'd be safest with Sango. Miroku, astonished and with strange thoughts going through his mind quickly grabbed Kagome's hand.
"No Kagome, don't go," he said rapidly. Kagome blinked at him and then his hand on her wrist. Miroku could feel Inuyasha glaring at him again and quickly released Kagome's hand.
"Why?" Kagome questioned. Miroku took a deep breath, preparing himself to be hit by a huge hunk of bone in the shape of a sword and a huge hunk of bone in the shape of a boomerang.
"Please…" Miroku whispered. "I don't want you to be lesbian!" he screeched. Kagome blinked in surprise. Sango blinked in surprise. Inuyasha blinked in surprise. The whole wide world blinked in surprise.
"WHAT?" came Sango's reply. "Is that what you think of me?" Sango demanded. WHACK! The poor monk's reaction was too slow and was quickly being hammered into the ground.
"Err…" Kagome wasn't sure what to do. This was probably not good, not good at all. Another sounding WHACK came, this was from Inuyasha.
"Is that what you think of Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome cringed. Nope, definitely bad.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, have mercy on the poor!" Miroku cried desperately, his mouth full of dirt. Sango growled. Not actually growled the same way Kirara does though … in the human way, y'know?
"You know what? I think this needs to be settled," Sango decided, looking back and forth between Inuyasha and Miroku. Then her gaze fell upon Kagome.
"Kagome…you need to take care of this problem somehow," Sango cried, gesturing an angry finger towards Miroku and Inuyasha. Well, really Inuyasha because Miroku was still in a deep hole within the ground trying to climb out. Kagome sweat dropped.
"Right, well, I, uh…" Kagome tried desperately to say something but was unsuccessful.
"She's right, Kagome, you need to decide who it is you really love!" Inuyasha demanded. A grunt came from the ground beneath them and an echo was heard
.
"Yes, Kagome, I agree, tell us your true feelings," except this phrase was repeated 3 or 4 times because of the echo. Kagome's eyes started to water and she sniffled. Oh no, she wasn't going to CRY was she? There was no way she could cry right now! A tear slid down Kagome's cheek.
…
You learn a new thing every day.
"I-I," Kagome began to say. "I don't know what to say," 3 sighs were heard.
"Kagome…" all 3 of them began with an echo that repeated itself 3 or 4 times.
"Miroku…" Kagome called. "I'm sorry," A small gasp was heard…that echoed 3 or 4 times before it stopped. Inuyasha was happily triumphing. I won! Hah! Stupid monk, thought he could take Kagome away from me! I finally got him back for beating me in that game of checkers the other day! He could just hear the hallelujah choruses now.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome continued. Inuyasha awaited eagerly for her to say it all aloud.
"No, Kagome! Please, don't do it, if you're mad at me about something…" the rest of his sentence was drowned out. Why? It has something to do with that echoing.
"Inuyasha," Kagome tried again. Inuyasha's ears pricked forward. Kagome sniffled again. "I'm sorry…"
Silence.
"Huh?" Inuyasha questioned. "What do you mean you're sorry…?" Inuyasha demanded angrily again. Damn, now I might actually have to have that rematch of checkers with Miroku now…what a shame.
Kagome's bottom lip quivered. "The truth is…" Sobs began erupting Kagome's body.
….
…
…
"I'M IN LOVE WITH KOUGA!!"
Silence.
A whirlwind comes up and moments later Kouga is standing before them all.
"Hah, that's right! In your face dog-turd!" And with a smirk, he carried Kagome off.
A bird chirped in the far away distance.
More silence.
"Um…guys? Want to help me up now?" Miroku called from the bottom of his dirt pit. Sango and Inuyasha ignored him, still shocked. And ignored him 3 or 4 times when the question echoed over again.
Back With Kouga and Kagome
"There you go, Kagome," Kouga said, putting Kagome down gently. "You know, you were really good back there, I was impressed," Kagome just smiled at him and held her hand out expectantly. Kouga looked at her curiously and Kagome rolled her eyes. He knew what she wanted.
"Come on, I won the bet and you know it…now pay up,"
A/N: So…? What did you think? I think that's going to be the end of it actually, I doubt it was as good as the last chapter but there was more of a plot to it in this one. I hope you guys liked it! Reviews would be nice too please!!
