"She did WHAT?"

"Invited Hojo to the barbeque and study session tonight." Miroku cringed away from Sango's anger.

"Why would she do that? He's not one of us. Please tell me she's not adopting him into our group. Why did you let her invite him?"

"Calm down, Sango. We have to admit the fact that she's going to bring people into this group from time to time. He may not become a close friend, but we're not in high school anymore. We're all growing up, and Kagome wants to be loved too. Maybe Hojo will be just a fling, maybe he will last a few weeks with us and be gone. Or maybe he will last a while, but either way unless we want to alienate Kagome and make her choose between her friends and a possible future family, we're going to have to accept the fact that she will bring guys home."

Sango sighed as she sat down in defeat. "I know, I just thought things were so perfect before. I really thought that she and…"

"I know, we all thought the same thing," Miroku interrupted.

Inuyasha was downstairs listening to the conversation upstairs. He had been playing video games when he'd first heard the cry from Sango. Normally, he wouldn't be listening to their conversation without their knowledge, but this was definitely giving him some things to think about. He was really starting to miss hanging out with Kagome. They never did anything just the two of them anymore. He felt like she was slipping away from him. Was he losing his best friend? Would she still be best friends with him if she found a guy to be a family with?

Maybe he should ask her to do something with just him, as friends. Like they used to do in high school. It wouldn't be a date, just 2 best friends hanging out. Would she be willing to hang out with just him if she was dating another guy? Would that be appropriate?

As his thoughts continued to swirl around in his mind his fists started to clench in anger. Without realizing what was happening, he closed his fists tighter until he heard a crunching noise. He looked down at his hands and swore. He had forgotten he had the controller in his hand. He would have to get rid of the evidence and get a new controller before anyone realized what had happened.
