Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

"Angel, hold up."

I stopped and went to the wall to wait for Sango.

"What?"

"Don't what me. I saw what you two almost did." Sango said with a smile on her face.

"It's not that we like each other, it was just heat of the moment."

"Whatever you say." She said sarcasticly.

I sighed and we began going around the rink again. Suddenly we hear-

"PERVERT!"

I turned around, and of course there was Miroku rubbing some girls behind and Inuyasha laughing.

"I told you!" Inuyasha said between laughs.

"Like you could get Angel."

That made us all stop. I stared dead at Miroku. Surely he didn't think that we like each other too.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sango questioned giving her boyfriend a glare.

"Just how Angel and Inuyasha like each other, but they are too dumb to realize it, and get together."

"Hey!" Both Inuyasha and I yelled at the same time.

"See you're made for each other." Sango taunted as I rolled my eyes.

"We don't like each other." Inuyasha came and put an arm around my shoulders. "We're just good friends."

"First stage is always denile." Miroku stated.

"MIROKU SHUT UP!"

"Then anger."

I started laughing which earned a confused look from my friends.

"What?"

"What's so funny?"

"It's just that, I can tell from this that Inuyasha must like me at least a little from angery he is." I said matter-of-factly.

"See even she knows it now Inuyasha." Miroku told Inuyasha.

"Knows what?" Sango asked curiously.

"That Inuyasha likes-" Inuyasha put a hand over his mouth before he could say more.

"Did he really tell you that?" Sango asked, obviously knowing what he was going to say.

Miroku nodded his head, still not being able to talk because of Inuyasha's hand.

"Wow." Was all that she could say. "We were right!" She exclaimed.

Going through this whole scene reminded me of when Koga and I first got together. He was like Inuyasha, and acted like Inuyasha is right now. A tear rolled down my cheek at the memory. That day everyone that he hung out with said I changed him, in some ways for better and in others for the worst. They said that what I did to change him that was the worst was making him nicer, which in my opinoin is good.

"Angel what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.

"Nothing, just happy memories."

Inuyasha pushed Miroku out of his way and went to my side once more.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"I don't know."

Inuyasha pushed me forward so I began to skate, him along side me.

"You really wanna know the rest of my past?"

"I wanna know what's bothering you so much, and if you tell me then at least I'd hopefully be able to relate and comfort you."

He took my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Have you ever heard of the scared jewel?"

Inuyasha shook his head.

"I was intrusted to protect it from people like Naraku. Me having the jewel, Naraku made it my weakness. I couldn't hate, and he killed my parents also in an atempt to get that hate, then the jewel would become black with evil, and thus he would win." I sighed. "What did I do to deserve having my life killed?" I asked Inuyasha.

"I don't think you did anything. Sometimes bad things happen to people who never do anything wrong, not because they're bad people, but because that's their fate."

"Inuyasha, how come people change?" I questioned.

"Usually, people change for the ones they love."

"Koga, he changed, for me. His friends hated me for it. They said I made him weak, and took away what was loved in his life."

"Did you believe them?"

"Yeah, but when I was with Koga, nothing else mattered." I fake smiled.

"I think Koga changed his personalitly to make you happy. He loved you and it sounds like you were his life, and he didn't care if he was throughing away his so called friends."

"I hate love!" I declared.

"Angel." Inuyasha turned me to look at him. "If you didn't have love you would have never found Koga."

"Inuyasha, no matter what I say you always try to make me feel better, and I love you for that."

This brought a smile to his face.

"I don't like seeing you hurt." He stated.

"I don't like being hurt."

"Then let others heal your wounds from your past. It takes a lot but I did it."

"Who hurt you?" I asked confused.

"Everyone." Was his simple response.

How can he, if these were memories that hurt him, how can he still be happy like this? Inuyasha in every way is stronger than me, and I wish I could find a way to be strong emotionaly.

"How?"

"I'm a hanyou, and nobody thought they belonged, but them I stuck up for myself and made a place for me. Then I eventually let others into my life and they healed my wounds." He explained.

I smiled. A real smile, not the fake ones I'm been putting on lately.

"I'm glad. If you could do it, then maybe there's hope for me."

We were now back where Miroku and Sango were talking. Once we aproached they stopped talking and we all left, exuasted from everything that happened today.
