The next day, I grabbed my lunch and quickly found Miroku in the mess they call the cafeteria. He was sitting with nothing but girls. I sighed before moving some one's purse out of the way of my tray.

"Hey!" Miroku said happily. All the girls turned to look at me.

"Hi..." I said shyly.

"This is Kagome." Miroku said turning to all the girls. They turned to me and looked me over before turning back to Miroku.

"So, are you going to do my math or not?" One of the girls asked. Miroku looked confused.

"I suck at math..." He said. The girls all scoffed and left. I snickered a little looking at the pitiful face Miroku made.

"Oh, shutup." He said scooting closer to me. "So... how was your day so far?" I took a bite of my hamburger.

"It's been alright, I guess..." I said, chewing my food. Miroku nodded. I looked up to see him staring at a girl. However, this wasn't such a lustful stare as it was... loving. I turned to look at her. She had long, dark brown hair tied back into a ponytail on top of her head. She wore black sweat pants and a red tank top with matching tennis shoes. Her body was athletic looking. Her eyes were chestnut colored and her skin was a perfect tan. She was beautiful, not doubt. However, she had something about her that made her seem like the kind of girl who most guys wouldn't go crazy over.

"Who's that?" I asked Miroku. He didn't switch his gaze.

"Sango Taijiya." He mumbled watching her sit with her friends.

"You like her?" I asked.

"I love her." He replied. I gasped. Miroku tore his eyes from her and ate. He seemed a bit depressed.

"Miroku?" I began. He looked up at me, this time, his eyes seemed lifeless. "...you love her?" I asked. He nodded slowly.

"Explain." I said.

"We were best friends pretty much our whole lives. I always loved her, I guess. Ever since I even liked girls, you could say. Towards the end of seventh grade, I finally told her I liked her. And, we were together until the same time in eighth grade." He shrugged.

"And..." I asked.

"One day, she came up to me crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me she was in love with me. I didn't say anything back... in fact, that night I cheated on her." He scoffed. "I couldn't tell her at the time, but I did it to see if I loved her, too. Turns out I did... but it was too late. I felt too guilty the next day and told her about it. She broke up with me that day. I haven't talked to her since." He focused on a spot on the table. "I know it was bad, I know what I did was wrong... but... it doesn't change the fact that I love her so much." He shook his head. "I have no idea why I'm telling you all this. I'm sorry." Miroku chuckled.

I smiled. "No... that's... really really sad." I sighed and looked at the ground. "So, you two just haven't talked since then?" I asked. Miroku shrugged and pointed to her.

"She's got that new boyfriend... Tohru..." He said with a hint of disgust. "He's like some amazing football player and all this stuff. I, personally, think I could take him." I looked at the Tohru guy with his huge muscles compared to Miroku's skinny figure. "I'm sure you could." I said chuckling.

"Shut up... Men can grow wings to be with the woman they love." Miroku gave Sango one last glance and returned to his food. I just stared dumbly at him and thought over his words carefully. I smiled thinking about getting them back together.

"Yup..." I said taking another bit of my hamburger.

The rest of the day had gone by slowly. However, aside from the Miroku and Sango plan I was thinking up all day... Inuyasha wouldn't leave my mind for a second. Just that look he gave me. I shuddered just thinking about it. I stopped at my locker and opened it up only to find Inuyasha's locker was right next to mine. After I closed it, he turned to me. My heart got caught in my chest.

"Hey..." He said clamly.

"Hi..." I said shyly. Our eyes were locked for a while. I just stared into those amber rings. I wanted to talk, but my mouth wouldn't move.

"You're Kagome..." He said. I smiled and laughed. He knew my name... how unimaginable could that be? I'd never even spoken to him. Maybe... in that one glance we shared... he... he maybe felt it too?

"Yeah..." I said nervously. He nodded.

"You're friends with Miroku?" He asked.

I nodded. I mean, we were kind of friends. Probably not best friends, but friends.

"Cool... well... my friend, Sango wanted me to talk to you. Are you the girl he's going out with?" I gasped at Sango's name. Inuyasha and Sango were friends... it was amazing.

I laughed. "No. I just moved here and actually just met him yesterday... but he told me what happened between the two of them and... I felt really bad."

Inuyasha smiled at me. "So, you're going to try to hook them back up, huh?"

I shrugged.

"I'll do as much as I can, I guess..." Inuyasha nodded.

"I've been trying to ever since they broke up. See, I kind of actually think Miroku's a dick who can go rot in hell for all I care, but Sango's still in love with him, so-"

"Wait!" I interrupted him. "Sango still loves him?" Inuyasha looked at me and nodded. He took a tooth pick out of his pocket and stuck it in his mouth, chewing on it.

"She never really got over him. Sure, she's going out with Tohru, but... I can see it in her eyes... she's still crazy in love with the guy." I smiled.

"That's so perfect... because he still loves her."

Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. "So, you'll help me?" Ever since that moment yesterday in World History, I'd been dying to talk to him... and here, after school was our chance.

"I'd love to."

"Well, let's walk and talk, then." He smiled at me and we headed out of the school together.

"By the way, before we get walking too far, where do you live?" Inuyasha asked once we got outside.

"In the Higurashi Shrine..." I started "It's not too-"

"I live right by that place. It's on my way. I'll walk you home." He said. I smiled and thanked him.

The walk had gone smoothly. We talked about funny things that had happened to us in our lives. He told me how he knew the World History teacher and I told him all about my life in Kyoto. When we reached my house, the sun had already began to set.

"Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow, Inuyasha." I said sweetly as he walked me to my door. He smiled and waved goodbye before descending down the stairs onto the road.

I opened the door and threw my stuff to the side before closing it behind me and running up to my room. For some reason, that walk was... so different. I felt like I knew Inuyasha really well. I sighed contently and began to get ready for a shower.

Little did I know... this was the beginning of something amazing...

Oooh... it's so amazing D lol. Leave a review por favor... and I'll update for yas
