Miroku and Inuyasha were sitting in their basement playing video games. Miroku was dominating Inuyasha.
"Seriously, Inuyasha, what it's wrong with you today?"
"Nothing is wrong. I don't know what you're talking about."
"You don't really believe that, do you? You never let me beat you this badly. Tell me what's on your mind."
"I told you it's nothing!" yelled Inuyasha.
"I see, this doesn't have anything to do with Hojo flirting with Kagome, does it?"
Inuyasha growled at Miroku. "What would i care if that idiot flirts with Kagome? It's not like she belongs to me."
Miroku stared at his friend. "I told you to tell her how you feel about her. She's not going to stay single forever, you know."
"Tell her what feelings exactly?" Inuyasha sputtered.
Miroku turned the game off and put the controllers away before he answered. "That you love her, of course."
Inuyasha turned scarlet. "Who said I love her?" he demanded.
"Everyone who knows you, except yourself and Kagome apparently."
"You don't know what you're talking about," muttered Inuyasha. "Doesn't matter anyway. She obviously likes Hojo, and I'm not going to risk a good friendship just to be rejected."
"Honestly, you two have got to be the most dense beings on the planet. If you would listen to me, you'd be as happy as Sango and I are."
"Just drop it Miroku. It's not going to happen. She'll be happier with someone else." Inuyasha got up from the couch and stormed into his room, slamming the door behind him.
Inuyasha laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He fumed as he thought about what Miroku told him. How could he even begin to compete with all the other guys out there? Kagome had so much to offer. She was nice, beautiful, passionate, smart, and rich. He, on the other hand, was none of those things. No, there was no way Kagome could feel the same way about him.
