Chapter 2: Knowing the Devil

AN: I do NOT Inuyasha or any of the characters on the show.

That being done… On with the story….

Oh happy days! Kagome was out of control. Never had she felt such emotions. She was happy and excited and dreamy and all that stuff all together. She didn't know when in between all those coincidental encounter with HIM, ever after their first meeting, did she fall so head over heels for him. In between all these accidental bumping into each other, little did she know that she created a soft spot in her heart for him. And slowly but surely did that spot expand and began taking up every nook and cranny of her heart.

Sango, her companion, friend and sister; noticed this change in her from the very start, although she had no idea what was going on. She had eventually met Inuyasha and though he seemed nice, there was something of a spoilt rich kid attitude she spotted in him. Even still she never knew that Inuyasha was the one to cause such transformation in the calm and composed Kagome she knew so well.

Sango meant to ask her often about it but Kagome would shake off the topic. Sango knew Kagome wasn't the one to openly speak, especially about crushes and love. She would often tease her with their batch mate Hojo who was really into Kagome and would often express it by asking her out on dates; but being the girl she was Kagome would kindly refuse inspite of the fact that she initially did have a crush on Hojo.

Anyway… two weeks passed by and the following Monday was supposed to be the start to their final examination. Kagome and Sango had to send in a letter at their company for a two week leave. They went off to the 15th floor of the office building and stood outside the General Manager's office and knocked. "Come in", was what they heard.

They went in and were encountered by a tall, well built young man in a black and purple tuxedo with a purple tie, his black hair was tied in a low pony tail and his gleaming eyes were buried in his work. Along with him was also Inuyasha leaning on the desk, looking out of the huge glass window that showcased the beautiful countryside of Ireland. Hearing the door open he turned around and was happy to see them. The girls saw Inuyasha and smiled at him as he returned a smile. Miroku looked up from a pile of papers on his desk and was amused. Standing up he went up to them and greeted them. "Oh what beauties! I don't believe we have met. I'm Miroku Yamada, GM of Ryans Media and Advertising Company. It's lovely to meet you". Saying this he hugged them both and as he did, being the pervert he is; groped Sango.

A loud 'THAD' was heard all throughout the hallway. Miroku stood there with a regretful and still shameless smile on his face that now had a red print of Sango's hand. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his best friend's behavior. "Serves you right", he said smirking. Then he turned towards Kagome and Sango. "So what are you guys doing here? Is there something I can help you with?"

All this time Kagome was blushing and dreaming as she stared at him. Suddenly she got a slight nudge from Sango and returned back to reality and realized Inuyasha was staring at her with a confused expression. "Hey everything all right? You just seem to blank out every time I talk to you lately…" Kagome just smiled sheepishly and said, "It's really nothing… just a little stressed with my exams approaching which reminds me…". Suddenly it hit Sango. 'So he is the reason for it all' she thought.

Kagome reached into her handbag searching for the leave applications she had to submit to Miroku, the perverted General Manager. But she knew she was safe now since he was Inuyasha's friend. She handed it over to Inuyasha who gave it to Miroku. Miroku smiled and approved the leave as they all spoke a little longer.

"So all the best to the both of you… do your best", said Inuyasha.

"Thank you", said both the girls slightly bowing in appreciation.

As the girls were about to leave, Miroku apologized for his behavior after getting a scary glare from Inuyasha. The girls accepted his apology and left.

"They are something, aren't they Inuyasha?"

"Well yeah but…"

"Hey, don't tell me you've got the hots for that raven-haired girl. Listen, I know you well, and as a friend let me help you with a little advice. Don't play her like all the girl you've done. She seems decent and fragile. You'll leave her shattered", said Miroku a little concerned. In spite of his perverse attitude most often, he was a nice guy.

"Keh, shut up will ya. I don't like her but she is pretty sweet. She's a friend is all she is and that's all I want with her. Besides, update yourself. I'm in love with Kikyo now and its serious!"

"Oh yes, Kikyo. The same Kikyo who you cheated on when you doubled dated her with Yuka and on the other hand she cheated you for Kouga all at the very same time. Listen, the girls gonna break your heart again for sure, believe me. And don't get me wrong but she's a bitch, and you know it. She's cheating on you even now."

"I know she is but I can't help it. I really am in love with her. But I can't help going out every night that I know she's cheating on me and sleeping with any slut I meet"

"I realized the change in you long ago. But what you are doing is compensating her with a slut to relieve that frustration you have on her and you need to stop. You've had enough. Inuyasha… you are hurt… have you talked to her about it?"

"How can I? What if she leaves me? I'll be alone to bear my grief of losing her all over again…", he said with teary eyes that he tried hiding.

"Inuyasha…", said Miroku softly as he hugged his friend.

At Kagome and Sango's place:

"So Kagome… I know everything. I've seen it. Now spit it out"

"What do you mean?", said Kagome pretending like she didn't know what Sango was talking about.

"You having a crush on 'Bad Boy' Inuyasha", Sango said teasingly.

"What?", Kagome said surprised that she got to know. "That's false and he's not a bad boy."

"Yeah right… I saw it in your eyes… the way you talk to him, behave around him. And he said it, you blank out when he talks to you. Now should I go on or are you gonna admit it already?", smirked Sango.

"Oh alright, you caught me there" she said with a tiny smile as her cheeks flushed pink. "I may have a tiny crush on him"

"Tiny? A tiny crush is something you had on Hojo. I've never seen you like this my whole life. This is huge"

"I dunno… He's the son of the president of our company and I'm … well just a receptionist. Do you think he'll ever be interested in me?"

"I dunno but I don't want you to get involved with him. I've heard things about him… something that you may not want to know but I'll let you on it anyway cause I don't want to see you hurt later. You see Kagome, Inuyasha is the typical spoilt rich kid and even worst a typical Casanova. He's a player and has hurt too many girls to count on your fingers. Being a friend to him is no problem at all, but being in a relationship with him will only get you wrecked"

Kagome was kind of shocked but somehow not much. After all, he was the son of a business man, in fact one of the top 10 richest of Ireland. It was somewhat expected of him, with all the girls crowding around him mostly.

"Maybe you are right" she said sadly knowing that a part of her will never stop loving him. Sango gave her a warm hug. Kagome knew that Sango was there for her and that she would never misguide her. Sango's best interest was in her advice and so Kagome sadly but gratefully obliged.

At Inuyasha's condo:

There was Inuyasha again all alone on his bed, sad and desperate with Kikyo's actions. "I'm going to a girls night out" she said before leaving and Inuyasha simply nodded out of fear of her leaving him forever. He knew she was going out to fuck Kouga. But this time he wasn't gonna go out and fuck another. He was gonna listen to Miroku's advice for a change. He was gonna talk to her the first thing in the morning when she returns. 'Or am I?' he though with a little worry.

Alright guys. The next chapter is gonna have a dark lemon… if I can call it that but it's gonna be InuxKikyo. So get ready! I'll upload as soon as possible, if not twice a week than at least weekly. And thank you gloglo 100 for making this story a favorite. Please R&R so I can improve and make the story more entertaining for your enjoyment.
