Hey guys. Thanks for all your reviews, now that I notice, I'm actually lucky to have ten reviews for a story with only two chapters so far, so thank you, and please continue to stick with me. :)

We're Just Friends

It's official. I have a problem. It's been three whole weeks since Kagome and I split, and I gotta say, it feels like I'm some kind of stalker.

So, I always watch her go to class and follow her home, even though she doesn't notice.

But me turning into a stalker isn't the worst part about loosing her, oh no, by far, its probably seeing her around that dick-head Hojo, even though we agreed to be friends, Hojo ALWAYS has to be there when we're hanging out as if saying to me 'Yeah, I stole the only girl you ever loved' .

"Inuyasha."

Speak of the devil. I turn my head, and sure enough, Kagome is standing in front of my desk. She smiles, and sits down on the desk across from mine.

"Hey." I say, its hard to maintain excitement when I keep thinking about her showing up on Hojo's arm.

"Wanna hang out after school today?"

Damn. Hanging out used to mean my house or hers and little bit of making out, now, it actually means going somewhere. I sigh.

"I don't know...."

Kagome holds up a hand to silence me. " Come on, we haven't hung out one on one in such a long time!"

"Keh." Is what I say in response to that comment. Of course we haven't she always had to bring Hojo.

Then her face turns serious. "I know you're still a little mad at me, but we're friends, right?"

I stare at her for a long time, trying to figure out did I still want to be friends with this girl? After she had ripped out my heart and ate it? When I didn't answer immediately, she frowned even more and her eyes seemed sad.

What right did she have to be sad? I was the one with a broken heart, who got dumped for a pathetic human!

"Aren't we?" She said, again. But, then the bell rang and class had to officially start.

The teacher, Miss Gaima, also Miroku's mom, breezed into the room with a happy smile on her face. Great, everyone was in a good mood but me.

Kagome frowned even more and took her seat next to me. Miss Gaima kept talking about the same senseless bullshit she always talked about in class. Kagome kept looking at me throughout the whole class.

Really, I should be somewhat happy about this, but I was anything but. I was pissed, that I let myself fall for her, depressed, because I had to see her with another damn guy, the guy she's likely to marry.

The bell rang and I bolted out of the classroom, and what do you know? Ran right into that dickhead human Hojo.

"Oh! Inuyasha, I'm sorry, have you seen Kagome?" He said to me, with that dumb-ass smile on his face. I don't even see why Hojo bothered to talk to me, he knew I didn't like him.

I feel my muscles pull up in a scowl. "No."

Hojo is still smiling at me. Creepy guy. "I wanted to take her to see a movie with me, tonight, you know, a date?"

Again, I'm scowling. This stupid human wanted to take my wench on a date, right now, I was so sick of hearing their names together. Hojo and Kagome. Kagome and Hojo, man, it really pissed me off.

"Well, do you know where she might be?"

I narrow my eyes. "No." Too bad dog demons don't have the power of laser eye vision or I'd have Hojo's ass in a hole right about now.

This idiot, still couldn't take a hint so he continued to talk to me as if we were friends. "So, what do you think she'd like better, roses or tulips?"

Well, I knew for a fact that Kagome liked posies, but why give him the advantage? I smirk.

"Get her carnations." I said, walking away from the dumb-ass. Kagome hated carnations.

Me and Miroku were walking down the street that led to Sunset shrine, I was completely in my own world while Miroku babbled on and on about him and Sango's new 'relationship'. I just hoped to God he wouldn't cheat on her, because if he did, I'm not sure who would get their face pounded in first, Miroku, or anyone that mentioned it.

Miroku waved his hands in front of my face. Stupid pervert. I growled. "What?!"

Miroku raised an eyebrow at me. "Did you notice we're in front of the Higurashi Shrine?"

I looked up, and sure enough, we were at the bottom of the steps to Higurashi Shrine. I must've led us here out of habit.

"Oh. My bad, wasn't thinking."

Miroku chuckled. "Ah, my friend, it seems like you were. About Kagome."

I frowned and raised my hand to block out the oncoming sunlight that had been revealed when the clouds moved. Miroku was right. I had been thinking about her, about how I hadn't answered when she asked if we were friends.

I nod. "Yeah."

"Still suffering from heartbreak?"

We sit down on the very first step, and I sigh. "Guess so."

I can hear Miroku shift next to me, I'm not looking at him but I know he's looking at me. "Well, Kagome has moved on and gotten a boyfriend-

"He's not her boyfriend!"

Miroku shrugged. "Well, he's her something in a romantic way. You need to go on a date, my friend, or you will simply kill yourself with the loneliness."

I respond to that with, "Keh."

"Keh to you too, my friend. Ignore me all you want, but-

I noticed Miroku stopped talking when a girl pulled up in a car and got out. From a distance, it looked like Kagome.

"Speak of the devil." Miroku speaks my thoughts as we both stand up.

The girl made her way over to us, and I noticed she was not Kagome. She had long black hair to her waist, although her face mirrored Kagome's almost exactly, there were only a few things that made them different, Kagome smelled like cherry blossoms. This girl smelled like roses.

She smiled at us, shyly. "Um, hi, is this Higurashi Shrine?"

Miroku smirked and stuck out a hand. "Why, yes, yes, it is, would you like a private tour?"

I roll my eyes and smack him upside the head. "Sorry about that, he' stupid, I'm Inuyasha, and yeah, Higurashi Shrine is up all those steps."

Now, remember, how I mentioned that I'm pretty hot? Well, apparently, she thought so too, as I watched her eyes look me up and down repeatedly, I smirk. I may not have a girlfriend anymore, but I still had my looks.

The girl blushed bright red. "I-I'm Kikyo. So, the shrine is up there?" She said, pointing up the stairs.

"Yeah."

She nodded, and made her way up all those steps. When she was out of earshot, Miroku chuckled. "Ah, I think you might be making a comeback."

I laughed. "What do ya mean?"

"She obviously liked you. Get her number."

I frowned. Dates, commitment. Right after loosing Kagome? No thanks. "I'll pass."

Miroku frowned but started talking louder, which meant he was excited about something. "But you have to! She looks almost exactly like Kagome, she's nice, and she's hot!"

I raised a brow. "Are you implying Kagome's hot?"

"Yes."

"Good answer. Fine, I'll get her number, but that doesn't mean anything. You got it?!"

Miroku chuckled and put up his hands in a surrendering gesture. "Okay. Sure it doesn't."

What an irritating pervert. "I mean it." I say, trying not to growl at him.

A few minutes later, Kikyo was back down the stairs, as she headed towards her car, which I admit, was pretty nice, I called out to her.

"Kikyo! Hey, I have to ask you something." I said, walking up to her car, and as I did, examining her closely. Yes, she was definitely hot in her black jeans and red tank-top, the question was, did I want her?

"What is it?" She asked, smiling up at me. She was just as short as Kagome too....

"I was wondering could I have your number, in case you wanted to hang out or something."

Kikyo raised an eyebrow. "We just met, you don't know anything about me." She smirked. "I could be a killer."

I smirk too, and put both hands on the car, and leaned my face close to hers. This always got girls to give in to me. "Well, I could be too, I could want to kill you, or worse, or I could just be a lonely kid that wants to have fun on a Friday night, but how will you know, unless you take a chance on me?" I whispered close to her ear.

Kikyo swallowed. "Um, well, I guess you have a point. Here," she said, handing me a piece of paper with her number written on it. "call when you feel like it."

I flash her a smile that the Inuyasha fan club burst into tears. "Will do." I said, as I walked back over to Miroku.

Miroku smiled and gave me a high five. We started to walk back down the street towards my house, the sun was setting overhead and it'd be dark soon. Although I was 17, Mom would kill me if I was outside in the dark, without a car. Damn mothers.

"So, are you gonna use that?" He asked, pointing to the number in my hand. Nosy pervert.

"I don't know, probably not."

"You should."

"Shut up."

I'm laying on the couch in the living room, watching The Price Is Right, right now, I have the entire house to myself except for a few maids. The hot ones. Sweet.

Sesshoumaru went on a date with Rin, Mom and Dad went dancing. The fact that my old man still dance somewhat freaked me out.

I felt myself dozing off, until the doorbell rang. After a minute, it rang again. I growled.

"Alright, dammit, I'm coming!" I said, as I walked to the door and yanked it open. And there was Kagome.

She smiled. "Hey."

"Hey?" I said, as it came out as more of a question than a statement.

"Can I come in?"

This question gets a Keh. "Aren't you supposed to be on a date with Hojo?"

She shrugged. "Canceled it."

I nod, even though I'm doing a victory dance in my head. Yes! She had canceled on Hojo for ME!

"Come in then," I say, as she steps inside and closes the door behind her.

" I was watching The Price Is Right just now and these people are way off, I mean, this guy thought that a $150,000 million car was a hundred bucks." I say, making light conversation, as I sit on the couch and signal for her to sit down next to me.

She does, and she smiles. "Oh, I know what you mean, I watched it yesterday and this woman thought that a pot plant was 600 bucks."

I laugh, and I realize I haven't laughed in a long time about something that Kagome said to me.

An hour goes by, and I see Kagome check her phone. Not that I was spying on the wench or anything, but I noticed Hojo's name in the new message that appeared. I growled. Great, I finally get to be around her again, and he's texting her. After a few minutes of her non-stop texting, she looks up at me.

She smiles. "I'm sorry, I have to go, Inuyasha. Duty calls." She says, laughing a little.

I nod and stand up ad walk her to the door. "Yeah, meaning Hojo?"

She nodded.

"Keh. Figures."

Kagome frowned. "Oh don't act like that, he's a nice guy."

At hearing that, I growl and think to myself, she's starting to like him? When three weeks ago she was only being around him 'because she had to?' I step closer to her. Right now, I don't care about the damn engagement or that shit, Hojo.

Before I can even fully process what I'm doing, I grab her face with one hand, and kiss her. And, for a few seconds, I could tell she kissed me back. And so now I'm thinking, I've won! Maybe she will defy her grandfather and mother after-all but maybe, I only have luck with girls that aren't her.

She pushes me away after five seconds tick by. Her expression is confused. "Inuyasha, w-what are you doing?"

I lean against the open door. "Well, I thought I was kissing you."

After that, she doesn't look me in the eye. She says, "You know I can't do this. Why would you do that?"

I growl at her. "You make it seem like I'm the bad guy here! You're the one falling in love with that goody-two-shoe shit, the one you left me for!"

She doesn't say anything, so I go on.

" You talk to me everyday, as if nothing has ever happened between us! Like it was some kind of a fling, when I love you! For the past two years, there's been no one but you. Yet you leave me because you feel you had to. Because you didn't want to disappoint anyone! Well, what about me? The person you let down the MOST!" I scream at her.

I see the tears well in her eyes as she backs up, so that she's standing outside. But, right now I could care less about her tears, after all, she never cared about mine!

"And you know what, you have the nerve, to say you want to be my friend, when you did the worst thing possible to me. You want to pretend like nothing ever happened, you didn't give it a second thought! Did you ever consider that maybe I still love you? Or that it infuriates me, absolutely pisses me off, to see you with him?!" I yell, as I step outside too, red-faced, and almost nose to nose with her. I didn't care if she cried because I was yelling at her, and I never yelled at her before this happened, but this girl, just took out my heart and played with it until she killed it!

"So, I ask you Kagome, why would you do that?" I ask her, as I make my way back inside, before I shut the door, she shouts out,

"Why can't we just be friends?!"

I give her a side-glance, as I notice its starting to rain outside, see her desperate expression as her tears mingle with rain, and her sticks to her face.

"Because friends isn't good enough."

I flop on my bed upstairs. Although, I was still heartbroken and pissed that she left me, I felt kinda good telling her off. Maybe it was the first step to getting over her. I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts as I find Miroku's name, he answers on the second ring.

"Yeah? I'm a little busy..." He says, as I can hear Sango's voice in the background. Fucking pervert.

I ignore all those sounds that are making me really uncomfortable, and say to him, "I told off Kagome."

"Again? Well, did it help any?"

I smirk. "Yeah, yeah, it did actually."

I can imagine Miroku smirking over the phone with that same damn smile that says ' I'm going to give you advice, because, I, Miroku, and much smarter than you, but certainly not better looking'. Okay, that last part is true, but he probably thought all that except being better looking just now.

" Then, I'd say, its time to prove that your really over her."

I chuckle. "Yeah, me too."

"Do what you have to do, my friend, but I am going to go because I have a quick-tempered hot girl waiting on me."

At that, I roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah." I say, and end the call, then I dig around in my pocket until I find the sheet of paper I'm looking for, I dial the number.

"Hey, Kikyo? Yeah, it's Inuyasha....."

End of the chapter. What'd you think? Please review and let me know, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'It Kills Me
