Chapter 5

"Oh." Kagome said blushing clearly embarrassed. "Sorry."

"It's alright Kaggie!" Sango said laughing at her friend's embarrassment. "Miroku may be a lecher but Inuyasha's the jerk!"

Kagome smiled and nodded as Inuyasha glared at Sango and Miroku held in a laugh. After they finished eating Sango pulled Kagome over to sit on one of the couches in front of the big screen TV. They were followed shortly after by Inuyasha and Miroku.

"So what have you guys been up to the past few years?" Sango said. She whispered to Kagome, "Probably not much!"

The girls giggled and Inuyasha just glared. He knew what she said even if everyone else didn't. "More than you think Sango."

"Hmm…" Sango said raising an eyebrow. "Not likely." `Them- jobs! Ha that's the funniest thing I've ever heard!'

"Keh" Inuyasha replied leaning back as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Don't `keh' me Inuyasha!" Sango scoffed. "You know very well what I'll do if that comment is towards me!"

Inuyasha hurriedly covered his mouth and glared.

"I have to agree with Sango." Kagome butted in. "I don't think you should `keh' her!" `That should get on his nerves'

"Shut it wench!" Inuyasha said releasing his grip on his own mouth. "No one asked for your opinion." `Hmm… fighting with her is fun'

"Yeah but you know you wanted it!" Miroku whispered winking at the wide eyed Inuyasha. "Don't deny what lies under your barrier of defense!" `He wants some from Kagome… I can tell by the way he got jealous of Kouga!'

"Barrier of defense?" Inuyasha blurted. "What you couldn't think of anything more creative?" `Barrier of defense? What the hell his he talking about?'

"Well at least I don't hide my feelings under a blanket of `keh's and glares!" Miroku said defiantly. `Inuyasha you are so predictable'

"Watch it monk!" Inuyasha said through clenched teeth. `He better stop butting into things that do not concern him… god I sounded like Sesshomaru'

"Watch what?" Sango said tilting her head to the side. `What are they fighting about now?'

"Nothing!" Miroku said smiling innocently. "Nothing at all my dear Sango!"

Sango blushed. "I don't really believe that…"

"So lost… so confused…" Kagome said shaking her head as she glanced at the friends.

"Lost and confused about what?" Sango said turning to her best friend.

"Nothing!" Kagome said smiling at Sango. `Not likely…'

"Uh huh…" Sango said rolling her eyes. "Nothing my ass. Don't lie to me! You know I can read ya like a book!"

"I swear it's nothing!" Kagome quickly retorted.

"Fine. Whatever…" Sango said rolling her eyes again. `She's really bad at lying'

Kagome sighed as she got up and walked out of the beach house to sit on the sand. She curled her toes in the sand and rested her head on her knees. "Why do I feel so out of place?" Kagome thought aloud to herself. `I don't think I should be here with them…'

"I don't know why you would feel out of place." Inuyasha said strolling over to Kagome and sitting next to her as he adjusted his hat. "Sango is as much as your friend as she is mine. I can see how much your friendship means to her."

"But I shouldn't be here." Kagome said quietly. "You guys should have time to catch up! It's been forever since you guys have seen each other…"

Inuyasha sighed shaking his head as he stood up and walked towards the shore. He decided to leave her alone so she could sort out her thoughts and feelings. Whatever they may be or whoever they were about. `Girls… always with the drama…"

Kagome watched Inuyasha stride towards the shore and sitting down as soon as he reached it.

"You should go talk to him." Sango's voice said coming from behind her. "He's just as confused as you are about this."

"About what?" Kagome said giving Sango a questioning look as she stood up and dusted herself off. "What are you talking about?"

"Wow you really can be dense sometimes…" Sango said shaking her head and placing her arm around Kagome's shoulder and giving her a reassuring squeeze. "Feelings. Confused about the feelings you guys have for each other."

"What feelings?!" Kagome squeaked as a blush rose to her cheeks. "How… what… who! WHAT?!"

Sango laughed. "Obviously you like him." Sango said pinching her friend's cheek.

"Don't do that!" Kagome said swatting Sango's hand away. "That hurts you know!"

"And he has feelings for you!" Sango said releasing Kagome from her hold. "And trust me! He hasn't had any serious feelings since Kikyo."

"Kikyo?" Kagome said tilting her head to the side. "I went to miko training with a girl with that name."

"Maybe they are one in the same." Sango said leaving Kagome and heading inside where she screamed. "MIROKU! HENTAI NO BAKA!"

Kagome looked at the setting sun and decided to get Inuyasha to come inside. She walked on the beach towards Inuyasha but stopped less then halfway there as a tall man with silver hair and deep amber eyes stopped her. He wore a white dress shirt and black pants.

"And who may you be?" He said giving Kagome a questioning look.

"I… uh…" Kagome stuttered at a loss for words at this guys towering presence. "Kagome. Kagome Hirogashi."

"Ah." He said in realization. "You are the one whose mom took Rin to her house."

"Umm… yeah." Kagome said as she cocked her head to the side. "How did you know that?"

"Oh. I am sorry." He said slightly bowing. "I am Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's older half brother and Rin is my adopted daughter."

"Oh! It's nice to meet you Sesshomaru." Kagome answered. "Don't worry about Rin! She is in good hands with my mother."

Sesshomaru let a smile cross his stoic face and walked toward the beach house. Kagome shook her head and continued to make her way to Inuyasha. She looked around to see Inuyasha was nowhere to be seen.

"Where in the 9 hells did he go?" Kagome said aggravated.

"Right here." Inuyasha breathed into Kagome's ear from behind causing her to shiver.
