Secret Letters : Confessions

You look really cool in your middle school uniform.

Sincerely, Kikyo-chan

Inuyasha blushed at the words written on the heart-shaped letter. He looked down at himself. "Do I?" For the umpteenth time since this whole Kikyo-thing started, Inuyasha looked around for any clue as to who this mysterious Kikyo person might be. And, for the umpteenth time, there was not a single hint. "Maybe she'll reveal herself?" Inuyasha tried with a sigh.

"Maybe who will reveal herself?" Kagome asked, appearing suddenly beside him.

Inuyasha shoved the paper into his mouth. "Hmm?"

Kagome blinked, "Did you just shove a piece of paper into your mouth?"

Inuyasha chewed and swallowed the paper as quickly as possible. "Yep, good for protein."

Kagome sighed, shaking her head. "You're just getting weirder and weirder every year." Kagome walked away and Inuyasha let out a sigh.

"Was that babe a friend of yours?" a voice asked from somewhere behind Inuyasha.

Inuyasha turned around to find a boy standing behind him.

"Houshi Miroku," he introduced himself, "I've got a shoe-cubby three down from yours."

Inuyasha didn't understand why he was introducing himself. Shoe-cubby three down? Inuyasha wondered vaguely if Miroku saw him read the letter.

"Anyways, who's that babe?"

"Babe?" Inuyasha asked and then with a horrified start, followed with, "Do you...do you mean Kagome?"

"Naturally," Miroku answered.

Inuyasha sighed, "Miroku, I'm Inuyasha. There are so many things I have to share with you. One, Kagome is no babe..."

...

You were awesome at the sports' festival! Go Inuyasha-kun! Go!

Sincerely, Kikyo-chan

Inuyasha smiled at the pink heart that sat in his hands. "Thanks, Kikyo-chan. I always do my best," Inuyasha smirked triumphantly.

"Hey Yash! Whatcha doing?"

Inuyasha shoved the heart into his pocket. "Changing my shoes, Miroku." He answered hastily.

"Why does it always take you so long to simply change a pair of shoes?" A female voice asked in irritation. Her chocolate orbs rolling as her rich milk chocolate strands swayed so gently with her head movements.

"Shut up, Sango, okay," Inuyasha retorted. He looked between Sango and Miroku before sighing. They were so obvious.

"You're looking extra sexy today, Sango," Miroku leaned against the shoe-cubbies in an attempt to look smooth.

Sango swiftly kicked him in his family jewels. "Don't use words you don't understand."

Kagome appeared, "Miroku, do you ever learn?"

Inuyasha looked between Sango, Miroku and Kagome. How this happened, he still wasn't sure. Maybe he had Kikyo to thank. Inuyasha ventured for a moment to ask any of them if they knew who she was. His eyes landed on Kagome, she'd be the most likely to know. After all, she was the only one of the three who had gone to the same elementary school as him.

Kagome glared at him, "What are you looking at?"

Inuyasha looked away. There's no way that someone like Kikyo would know someone like Kagome.

...

Inuyasha stared at his cubby for several minutes. "Nothing?" He couldn't believe, she always sent him a letter. There has always been something there. What happened? Did she just decide to stop without a single word? "Kikyo-chan?" Inuyasha had no idea how to continue the rest of the day without one. "Kikyo-chan?" he repeated, having never felt so uncertain before. Was this the end?

Later that day...

Inuyasha stared at the heart for several moments, completely shocked. His face was hot and a very deep crimson. There were only five words on the heart today, but they held more weight than any of the other letters thus far.

I like you.

Sincerely, Kikyo-chan

It was his last year of middle school, the very last day. The very first confession. Kikyo confessed to him. Inuyasha looked around frantically for any signs, any signs at all, of Kikyo but yet again there were none.

"H-how am I supposed to reply if you never show your face to me?" Inuyasha asked to no one. After all, he was alone. There was no one else here.

...

I missed you over the summer and you're looking even cooler in your high school uniform.

Love Kikyo

(P.S. I don't need a reply, just seeing your smiling expression when you read these letters is enough.)

Inuyasha's eyes zoned in on two words on the letter. Love Kikyo. His heart sped up. She liked him. She really did. And he liked her too, even though he had never met her in person. If ony there was a way for him to tell her. If only there was a way for her to stop just being a secret admirer. If only there was a way for her to become his girlfriend.

Now he had to find out who she was. He just had to.

"Kikyo, where are you?" Inuyasha asked in an exasperated voice.

...

"I'm sorry," Inuyasha sighed, "I've already got someone I like." He watched as the girl turned and ran away. Crying and sobbing bitterly.

"That was harsh," Miroku replied.

"I said I was sorry," Inuyasha snapped.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Yeah but you said it with absolutely no emotion whatsoever. Like the whole thing doesn't matter."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "No one asked her to like me."

"So you've got somebody that you like?" Kagome asked, slyly.

Inuyasha heated up and looked away. "No, that was a lie to get her to accept the rejection."

"Yeah and that's why you're blushing," Kagome retorted.

"Tell us who she is," Miroku asked, "Share with us the name of the girl who stole your heart."

"Stole my heart?" Inuyasha replied, he sighed and rolled his eyes, "You guys read too much shoujo manga. Just leave me alone."

"But-" Kagome and Miroku began when Sango cut in.

"He'll tell us when he's good and ready," Sango answered coolly.

"There's NOTHING TO TELL!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Yeah right," the three chorused.

...

I heard about that girl you rejected yesterday. Am I the girl that you like? Just kidding, I know that's impossible.

Love Kikyo

Inuyasha sighed, "No, it's possible. It's SO POSSIBLE!" He nearly screamed in frustration. "Kikyo, I wanna meet you, I wanna see you, I wanna kiss you, but most of all, I wanna tell you how I feel! Kikyo tell me who you are. Let's meet in person, please." Inuyasha had no clue why he was talking to a piece of paper. Maybe he figured that Kikyo could hear him. "Please."

As he walked to class, he missed the girl blushing behind a pillar. Her dark bangs covering her face. "I wanna tell you too."

Kikyo and Inuyasha's relationships just jumped up to a whole nother level. But will Kikyo reveal herself to Inuyasha? Only time will tell...or me...
