A/N: And now, to thank my wonderful readers. I know I’ve said this before, but it really means a lot to know that someone is actually enjoying my story:
*PrincessAngel - Yeah, prom night was full of surprises. And your right, if I was Kagome, I would have been all over him. But Kagome is a good girl and I’m such a bad ass.
*TrinityK - Thanks! I’m so glad you like it. Just keep reading and find out.
*Cwillia - Your welcome. Mmm . . . a sundae with Inu and Kags on top*smirks*. I’m sorry I didn’t say what song was playing. How about “You and Me” by Lifehouse? *smiles*. I think that fits that scene, since Inu and Kags were dancing with other people but looking at each other and probably secretly wishing they were dancing with each other instead. And Kags is a good girl, she doesn’t think with her powderpuff, but that’s what I’m here for*insert evil laugh*. But I’m glad you’re happy with your lime and the story. Keep reading! I’ve gotta save the best for last.
*Vandreador - Thank you very much. I’m glad you like it.
*SangoxMiroku132 - LMAO! Don’t worry. I haven’t forgot about you. Your lemon is coming soon. I promise.
Also, Rape is implied in this chapter. So readers be warned.
Ok, ok . . . on with the story

Chapter 9
Kagome woke up Saturday morning, still wearing her prom dress, eyes still puffy from crying herself to sleep. She couldn’t stop thinking about Inuyasha, but she knew she had to. She knew she had to try and get things back the way they were, before they stepped over the boundaries of friendship, into unchartered territory. She was with Hojo and she cared about him too much to hurt him.
‘Wait a minute. Hojo was drunk last night and stayed at the party to sober up. I hope he got home ok. I need to call him to make sure he is alright,’ she thought as she quickly grabbed her cell phone.
“Hello,” Hojo answered his cell phone, in a raspy half asleep voice.
“Oh Hojo, I didn’t mean to wake you, but I just wanted to know if you made it home from the party this morning?”, Kagome said with concern.
“Yeah, I made it home ok. Kouga came and woke me up about 5:00 this morning and brought me some pain relievers. Then his friend drove me home and Kouga followed in my dad’s truck. I got home at about 5:30 and lucky for me, everyone was still asleep. I just have a killer headache now,” he said in a low voice.
“Oh, poor baby. I’ll come check on you later. You just try and get some more rest and I’ll see you later, ok.”
“Ok. Thank you for making sure I got home. You’re a real sweetheart Kagome. I’ll see you later.”
“Bye Hojo.”
“Bye ‘gome,” he said and hung up the phone.
‘Great I can go see Hojo later and get things back to normal with him,’ she thought as she stripped out of her prom dress and accessories and headed for the shower.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was at home, laying in his bed, trying to think of how to fix what he had done with Kagome.
‘Man. I’ve really done it this time. What am I gonna do? I just need sometime to think’, he thought as he lay in his bed with a pillow over his head.
“Inuyasha, aren’t you up yet. I told you we have important business to take care of. If I had the choice of going myself, I would but our parents made you a share holder, so you have to be there,” Sesshomaru said without expression.
“Just give me a minute, would ya. I have my own damn problems, you know,” Inuyasha huffed.
“Nevertheless, we have to get going. So get up and get dressed, now,” Sesshomaru said as he left the doorway.
Inuyasha slowly moved into a sitting position on his bed and rubbed his eyes. Then he made his way to his bathroom to take a shower. After the shower he put on his clothes and was ready to leave with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha headed to the foyer to meet up with Sesshomaru.
“So, how long is this gonna take anyway?” Inuyasha asked gruffly.
“It’s not really important, because either way . . . you’re going. But if you must know, it should only take a few hours.”
“Good, cause I have things to do.”
“Fine Inuyasha. Let’s just get this over with. We wouldn’t want to inconvenience you,” Sesshomaru replied in a sarcastic tone.

When Kagome was done with breakfast, she left to go check on Hojo. Kagome got to Hojo’s house and his niece answered the door.
“Hey Kagome. Hojo’s still upstairs. I think he’s sick or something because he hasn’t been out of his room today,” she said, scratching her head.
Kagome tried to hold back the giggle. She knew exactly what was wrong with Hojo. Finally, he was walking down the stairs, holding his head, and moaning like a wounded animal.
“Hey Kagome,” Hojo said rather dryly.
“Oh, sweetie. I told you to slow down last night, but you didn’t listen,” Kagome said snickering. She held his face in her hands and kissed him on the forehead.
“Gross, now your gonna has Hojo cooties,” Nina said scrunching up her face and running off to the guest room.
Kagome walked to the couch and motioned for Hojo to come sit next to her.
“Come here. Sit down and let me take care of you,” she said with a smile as Hojo sat next to her and laid his head in her lap. She gently rubbed his head, playing in his hair.
As they sat and watched tv, Hojo turned his body and head to look up at Kagome.
“You know, you really are the best girlfriend ever,” he smiled at her.
She smiled back and leaned down to kiss him on the lips. She deepened the kiss, using her tongue to part his lips and explore his mouth. He responded by grabbing her by the back of the head, allowing him more access to into hers.
‘What’s gotten into Kagome lately? She’s never kissed me quite like this before,’ Hojo thought as they finally parted, breathing heavily.
“Wow, maybe I should tell you that more often,” Hojo said with a huge grin on his face.
Kagome just smiled and blushed. I guess a little of what happen last night was lingering in her mind.
____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________
Inuyasha was back from his run with Sesshomaru and was on his way to Miroku’s. Inuyasha called ahead to make sure Miroku wasn’t busy, which he said he was, but Inuyasha insisted on coming anyway. Inuyasha really needed someone to talk to and since it was about his new talking buddy, his next choice was Miroku. When Inuyasha got to the apartment, Miroku could tell his friend was really distraught. They sat down on the couch as Inuyasha started to speak.
“Fuck! I really messed up this time Miroku.”
“What did you do exactly?” Miroku asked dreading what could possibly be wrong to make Inuyasha so upset.
“Well, I sorta . . . kissed . . . no, I made out with Kagome,” he mumbled.
“Wait a minute. I don’t think I heard you. Did you say that you kissed, I mean, made out with Kagome?”, Miroku said, wide-eyed in shock.
“Yeah,” Inuyasha answered softly.
“Holy shit, Inuyasha! How much making out did you do? I knew the two of you were friendly. I mean, that was the plan. But I just told you to be her friend, not make her your new make out buddy,” Miroku snickered.
“This isn’t funny you baka. This is serious.”
“Sorry.”
“Anyway, it just sorta happened. I mean, she was really pretty last tonight and I gave her a hug, like I usually do. And she was smiling at me, with that beautiful smile. So I told her she was beautiful. And she smelled so nice. Her lips were all shiny and stuff and they looked “really” good, so . . . Anyway, you see my problem,” Inuyasha stopped his rambling to get his friends opinion.
“Yeah, I see what your problem is. You have Kagome on the brain and not just with the head up top. So do you really like her or do you just wanna get in her pants?”
“Sometimes you can be such a baka Miroku. How could you ask me that, you hentai. Of course I like her. I like her a little too much, that’s the problem. I have a girlfriend, remember?”
“That’s never stopped you before.”
“That’s in the past, Miroku. You know that I’ve been faithful to Kikyo. And I would never want Kagome to just be the other woman. So I need to pick. But I don’t know how. I don’t know what to do.”
“Well, I know I’m usually very good with helping you find the answers, but this time you will have to make this decision on your own. Just give yourself time and you’ll figure it out. You don’t want to rush things and do something that you may regret later.”
“Keh, thanks Miroku, I feel much better now,” Inuyasha said sarcastically.
“You know what I mean. Just think with your heart, not your hormones.”
“This, coming from you? You can’t keep your hands off Sango.”
“Yes, but I only want Sango. I am totally head over hills in love with Sango, that’s the difference. I may have an overly active imagination, but it’s all for her and no one else. Besides I have my good moments sometimes. I’m not always a horndog.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re not all bad.”
“From you, I’ll take that as a compliment. Trust me, Inuyasha, you’ll figure it out.”
______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
It had been several days, almost a week, since that day when Inuyasha and Kagome crossed the lines of friendship. It was Thursday. Two days until Graduation, and Inuyasha had done everything in his power to avoid Kikyo and Kagome. He was staying at the estate and hadn’t been to Miroku’s since Saturday. He just didn’t want to complicate things more than they already were. It had put a strain on him and Kikyo’s already up and down relationship. And now he wasn’t sure if he wanted Kagome to be just his friend or maybe more.
‘But what if she doesn’t want to be with me? She told me she loved Hojo. But if I stay with Kikyo . . . It would probably mean that me and Kagome could not be as close as we are anymore. But I don’t want that. Kagome is so warm and friendly. She is always open with me and is so easy to talk to. I could tell her all my secrets. I can trust her. All my secrets . . . that’s it! I never felt comfortable telling Kikyo my secret, but Kagome . . . ,’ he thought as he slipped on some clothes and shoes and rushed out of the estate.
__________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________
“I haven’t talked to or seen Inuyasha since we kissed. Well, we did a little more than just kiss, but that’s not the point. I must have confused him when I stopped and kicked him out. I guess now our friendship will never be the same. I can’t blame him for not talking to me. I freaked out when I realized how far we were getting. I would have probably lost my virginity on the kitchen table. To a guy who is not my boyfriend, but just my friend, while my boyfriend is in a drunk slumber at a party I left him at. I care about Hojo and I don’t want to hurt him. But since that day with Inuyasha, being with Hojo is a little awkward. It’s like I’m not sure I should be with him. Sango, I’m so confused,” Kagome said picking at the food she was supposed to be eating.
Sango and Kagome were sitting in a restaurant across the street from the school for lunch.
“I know Kags,” Sango said, comforting her friend. “Just give yourself a little more time to think about what you want, if you need to.”
Kagome just gave her friend a fake smile and as she continued to play over her, now, cold lunch.
‘She’s been talking about her and Inuyasha since that day. I’ve never seen her like this before. Even her and Hojo had never gotten that far before. She’s never had all of these feelings before. I think it may be overwhelming her. Maybe she only thinks she’s in love with Hojo. I think she may be falling for Inuyasha, but I can’t tell her what she should do. She has to figure thing out herself,’ Sango thought, watching her friend.
“Let’s just concentrate on the Graduating Saturday,” Sango said trying to get off the subject of Inuyasha and Hojo.
‘Sango’s right. I need to concentrate on the fact, that in two days, I will be free of high school. I don’t need to dwell on this right now,’ Kagome thought as she said, “I’ll try.”
______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________
“I̵ 7;m tired of playing Miss goody-goody, because it’s not working anymore. It’s time for a different plan of action. True, Inuyasha hasn’t been seen with Kagome but I haven’t seen him either, which is getting very annoying. What is his problem anyway?” Kikyo commented to her friend Michelle.
“I don’t know. You don’t think he really likes her, do you? What are you going to do?”, Michelle asked curiously.
“If he thinks he does, he won’t after I’m finished. Inuyasha will only be thinking about me. Let’s just say, I’ve already set the wheels in motion to destroy that little bitch. Now she just needs to find out somehow. I guess we will have to bring it up at school tomorrow, or . . . I just got a brilliant idea,” Kikyo laughed at her devious thoughts. ‘When Inuyasha finds out, he will be comforting me and when she finds out, she’ll be alone and crying her eyes out’.
___________________________________________________________________________ __________________________
Inuyasha was determined to talk to Kagome. Finally he knew what he was going to do, but first he wanted to tell Miroku his plan. He got up to the apartment door and unlocked it, quickly busting in.
“Miroku! Get out here. I got it! ,” Inuyasha shouted.
“I heard you, Inuyasha. I wish you could have just told me what you wanted to say when you called, interrupting me. Sango and I were busy. I finally got her away from Kagome for a little while and you ruined it.”
“Stop thinking about your dick for a second. Kagome is more important than you scoring. Why is Sango spending so much time with Kagome? Is she ok?”, it finally hit him that Miroku implied that Sango had been over Kagome’s more that usual.
“No, she’s all messed up, probably for the same reasons that you’re all messed up. Not to mention the fact that you have been avoiding her. Sango’s been at her house a lot this week. She’s probably on her way there now, thanks to you,” Miroku sighed.
“Stop your whining. You’ll get plenty of time for that later cause Kagome will be fine. I’m gonna go straighten everything out. I’ve finally figured it out . . . ”
“Could you be more specific?”
“I’m gonna tell her my secret . . . that I’m a hanyou.”
“Well, I guess it’s about time. You have been with Kikyo for a while now.”
“No, not Kikyo . . . Kagome. I’m gonna tell Kagome and if she doesn’t freak out and accepts it, I’m gonna tell her how I really feel about her.”
“I’m sorry. I just assumed you meant Kikyo, because you’ve known her longer. Well, that’s even better news. Kagome is a sweet girl. I really like her. I think she will be really good for you. What helped you make your decision, may I ask?”
“I finally realized that Kikyo isn’t who I thought she was. Or maybe she was once, but I’ve changed and she hasn’t. She is still so petty, with her gossiping and picking fights. And she always seems like she’s hiding something from me. But besides me being a hanyou, I’ve never hidden anything from her. Kagome tells me everything, well almost, everything. She would never go into a lot of details about things that were too personal, but anything else, she tells me. She has told me that she loves Hojo, but never once has she said she was in love with him. And I don’t think I’m in love with Kikyo. I needed Kikyo and Kikyo needed me. We were both in some bad relationships in the past and we comforted each other. We made a relationship out of that. And I didn’t love her, not right away. It was months before I even thought I might love her. But I’ve only known Kagome for a short time and I’m falling in love with her. It’s been less than two weeks and I can’t stop thinking about her,” he smiled at the thought of Kagome.
Miroku just sat there dumbfounded. He had never seen Inuyasha like this before. ‘Maybe he hasn’t ever been in love before. I think he is really in love with Kagome.’
“Well you put a lot of thought into it, obviously. And I’m not sure, but from what Sango told me, Kagome is falling in love with you. I think you should go for it. I guess you should go find her and talk to her.”
“Yeah, I’m way ahead of you,” Inuyasha said rushing to the door. Just before he was out the door Miroku called him.
“Inuyasha!”
“Yeah?”
“Good luck man. You and Kagome deserve each other. You two are really good people.”
“Thanks Miroku,” Inuyasha smiled as he left and headed to Kagome’s.
__________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
Inuyasha only got halfway out the door when his cell phone rang.
‘Oh shit. Not now Kikyo. I guess I should see what she wants. I have been avoiding her all week.’
“Hello,” he said, quickly jumping into his car.
“Inuyasha, I need you to come over . . . please . . .” Kikyo was sobbing.
“Kikyo, what’s wrong?”, all his attention, now focused on the crying girl.
“I can’t . . . talk about it . . . over the phone. I need you . . . to come over here . . . now,” she cried even louder.
“Ok. I’m on my way. Just stop crying. I’ll be there in a minute,” he said as he flipped his phone closed and speeds off in his car.
_____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________
He got to her house within minutes and raced to the door, which was wide open. He could smell that someone had just left. It was a guy’s scent, and it got stronger as he walked through the house. As he walked up the stairs, to Kikyo’s bedroom, the scent was so intense it made his blood boil.
‘What the hell happened in here! Did she . . . ’
He ran into Kikyo’s bedroom, livid, to find her sitting on her bed, crying. Her clothes were ripped and hanging off of her, and her hair was coming out of the ponytail it was in. It was worse than what Inuyasha originally thought. His anger was know mixed with saddness and guilt. 'Gods, no! Not this, how could somebody do this to her.'
“Oh Kami, Kikyo what happened to you?!” Inuyasha ran over to examine her, asking but already knowing what happened. He could smell a man’s scent on her and inside her, and her appearance, it could only mean on thing.
“It was . . . horrible. I told him . . . I didn’t want . . . but he just would listen . . . he pinned me down . . . he ripped my . . . and . . . ,” she broke down crying again.
Inuyasha was trying to hold her and comfort her. He was so angry, he wanted to kill something, or somebody as the case may be.
“Kikyo, you have to calm down and tell me who did this to you?”, he asked as calmly as he could.
“It was . . .” she stopped, slowly looking up at Inuyasha, wiping the tears clouding her eyes.
“It’s ok. You can tell me.”
“It was . . . HOJO!”, she shouted and sobbed uncontrollably, grasping on Inuyasha’s shirt and buried her face in his chest.

Chapter 9
Kagome woke up Saturday morning, still wearing her prom dress, eyes still puffy from crying herself to sleep. She couldn’t stop thinking about Inuyasha, but she knew she had to. She knew she had to try and get things back the way they were, before they stepped over the boundaries of friendship, into unchartered territory. She was with Hojo and she cared about him too much to hurt him.
‘Wait a minute. Hojo was drunk last night and stayed at the party to sober up. I hope he got home ok. I need to call him to make sure he is alright,’ she thought as she quickly grabbed her cell phone.
“Hello,” Hojo answered his cell phone, in a raspy half asleep voice.
“Oh Hojo, I didn’t mean to wake you, but I just wanted to know if you made it home from the party this morning?”, Kagome said with concern.
“Yeah, I made it home ok. Kouga came and woke me up about 5:00 this morning and brought me some pain relievers. Then his friend drove me home and Kouga followed in my dad’s truck. I got home at about 5:30 and lucky for me, everyone was still asleep. I just have a killer headache now,” he said in a low voice.
“Oh, poor baby. I’ll come check on you later. You just try and get some more rest and I’ll see you later, ok.”
“Ok. Thank you for making sure I got home. You’re a real sweetheart Kagome. I’ll see you later.”
“Bye Hojo.”
“Bye ‘gome,” he said and hung up the phone.
‘Great I can go see Hojo later and get things back to normal with him,’ she thought as she stripped out of her prom dress and accessories and headed for the shower.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was at home, laying in his bed, trying to think of how to fix what he had done with Kagome.
‘Man. I’ve really done it this time. What am I gonna do? I just need sometime to think’, he thought as he lay in his bed with a pillow over his head.
“Inuyasha, aren’t you up yet. I told you we have important business to take care of. If I had the choice of going myself, I would but our parents made you a share holder, so you have to be there,” Sesshomaru said without expression.
“Just give me a minute, would ya. I have my own damn problems, you know,” Inuyasha huffed.
“Nevertheless, we have to get going. So get up and get dressed, now,” Sesshomaru said as he left the doorway.
Inuyasha slowly moved into a sitting position on his bed and rubbed his eyes. Then he made his way to his bathroom to take a shower. After the shower he put on his clothes and was ready to leave with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha headed to the foyer to meet up with Sesshomaru.
“So, how long is this gonna take anyway?” Inuyasha asked gruffly.
“It’s not really important, because either way . . . you’re going. But if you must know, it should only take a few hours.”
“Good, cause I have things to do.”
“Fine Inuyasha. Let’s just get this over with. We wouldn’t want to inconvenience you,” Sesshomaru replied in a sarcastic tone.

Inuyasha was back from his run with Sesshomaru and was on his way to Miroku’s. Inuyasha called ahead to make sure Miroku wasn’t busy, which he said he was, but Inuyasha insisted on coming anyway. Inuyasha really needed someone to talk to and since it was about his new talking buddy, his next choice was Miroku. When Inuyasha got to the apartment, Miroku could tell his friend was really distraught. They sat down on the couch as Inuyasha started to speak.
“Fuck! I really messed up this time Miroku.”
“What did you do exactly?” Miroku asked dreading what could possibly be wrong to make Inuyasha so upset.
“Well, I sorta . . . kissed . . . no, I made out with Kagome,” he mumbled.
“Wait a minute. I don’t think I heard you. Did you say that you kissed, I mean, made out with Kagome?”, Miroku said, wide-eyed in shock.
“Yeah,” Inuyasha answered softly.
“Holy shit, Inuyasha! How much making out did you do? I knew the two of you were friendly. I mean, that was the plan. But I just told you to be her friend, not make her your new make out buddy,” Miroku snickered.
“This isn’t funny you baka. This is serious.”
“Sorry.”
“Anyway, it just sorta happened. I mean, she was really pretty last tonight and I gave her a hug, like I usually do. And she was smiling at me, with that beautiful smile. So I told her she was beautiful. And she smelled so nice. Her lips were all shiny and stuff and they looked “really” good, so . . . Anyway, you see my problem,” Inuyasha stopped his rambling to get his friends opinion.
“Yeah, I see what your problem is. You have Kagome on the brain and not just with the head up top. So do you really like her or do you just wanna get in her pants?”
“Sometimes you can be such a baka Miroku. How could you ask me that, you hentai. Of course I like her. I like her a little too much, that’s the problem. I have a girlfriend, remember?”
“That’s never stopped you before.”
“That’s in the past, Miroku. You know that I’ve been faithful to Kikyo. And I would never want Kagome to just be the other woman. So I need to pick. But I don’t know how. I don’t know what to do.”
“Well, I know I’m usually very good with helping you find the answers, but this time you will have to make this decision on your own. Just give yourself time and you’ll figure it out. You don’t want to rush things and do something that you may regret later.”
“Keh, thanks Miroku, I feel much better now,” Inuyasha said sarcastically.
“You know what I mean. Just think with your heart, not your hormones.”
“This, coming from you? You can’t keep your hands off Sango.”
“Yes, but I only want Sango. I am totally head over hills in love with Sango, that’s the difference. I may have an overly active imagination, but it’s all for her and no one else. Besides I have my good moments sometimes. I’m not always a horndog.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re not all bad.”
“From you, I’ll take that as a compliment. Trust me, Inuyasha, you’ll figure it out.”
______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
It had been several days, almost a week, since that day when Inuyasha and Kagome crossed the lines of friendship. It was Thursday. Two days until Graduation, and Inuyasha had done everything in his power to avoid Kikyo and Kagome. He was staying at the estate and hadn’t been to Miroku’s since Saturday. He just didn’t want to complicate things more than they already were. It had put a strain on him and Kikyo’s already up and down relationship. And now he wasn’t sure if he wanted Kagome to be just his friend or maybe more.
‘But what if she doesn’t want to be with me? She told me she loved Hojo. But if I stay with Kikyo . . . It would probably mean that me and Kagome could not be as close as we are anymore. But I don’t want that. Kagome is so warm and friendly. She is always open with me and is so easy to talk to. I could tell her all my secrets. I can trust her. All my secrets . . . that’s it! I never felt comfortable telling Kikyo my secret, but Kagome . . . ,’ he thought as he slipped on some clothes and shoes and rushed out of the estate.
__________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________
“I haven’t talked to or seen Inuyasha since we kissed. Well, we did a little more than just kiss, but that’s not the point. I must have confused him when I stopped and kicked him out. I guess now our friendship will never be the same. I can’t blame him for not talking to me. I freaked out when I realized how far we were getting. I would have probably lost my virginity on the kitchen table. To a guy who is not my boyfriend, but just my friend, while my boyfriend is in a drunk slumber at a party I left him at. I care about Hojo and I don’t want to hurt him. But since that day with Inuyasha, being with Hojo is a little awkward. It’s like I’m not sure I should be with him. Sango, I’m so confused,” Kagome said picking at the food she was supposed to be eating.
Sango and Kagome were sitting in a restaurant across the street from the school for lunch.
“I know Kags,” Sango said, comforting her friend. “Just give yourself a little more time to think about what you want, if you need to.”
Kagome just gave her friend a fake smile and as she continued to play over her, now, cold lunch.
‘She’s been talking about her and Inuyasha since that day. I’ve never seen her like this before. Even her and Hojo had never gotten that far before. She’s never had all of these feelings before. I think it may be overwhelming her. Maybe she only thinks she’s in love with Hojo. I think she may be falling for Inuyasha, but I can’t tell her what she should do. She has to figure thing out herself,’ Sango thought, watching her friend.
“Let’s just concentrate on the Graduating Saturday,” Sango said trying to get off the subject of Inuyasha and Hojo.
‘Sango’s right. I need to concentrate on the fact, that in two days, I will be free of high school. I don’t need to dwell on this right now,’ Kagome thought as she said, “I’ll try.”

“I̵ 7;m tired of playing Miss goody-goody, because it’s not working anymore. It’s time for a different plan of action. True, Inuyasha hasn’t been seen with Kagome but I haven’t seen him either, which is getting very annoying. What is his problem anyway?” Kikyo commented to her friend Michelle.
“I don’t know. You don’t think he really likes her, do you? What are you going to do?”, Michelle asked curiously.
“If he thinks he does, he won’t after I’m finished. Inuyasha will only be thinking about me. Let’s just say, I’ve already set the wheels in motion to destroy that little bitch. Now she just needs to find out somehow. I guess we will have to bring it up at school tomorrow, or . . . I just got a brilliant idea,” Kikyo laughed at her devious thoughts. ‘When Inuyasha finds out, he will be comforting me and when she finds out, she’ll be alone and crying her eyes out’.

Inuyasha was determined to talk to Kagome. Finally he knew what he was going to do, but first he wanted to tell Miroku his plan. He got up to the apartment door and unlocked it, quickly busting in.
“Miroku! Get out here. I got it! ,” Inuyasha shouted.
“I heard you, Inuyasha. I wish you could have just told me what you wanted to say when you called, interrupting me. Sango and I were busy. I finally got her away from Kagome for a little while and you ruined it.”
“Stop thinking about your dick for a second. Kagome is more important than you scoring. Why is Sango spending so much time with Kagome? Is she ok?”, it finally hit him that Miroku implied that Sango had been over Kagome’s more that usual.
“No, she’s all messed up, probably for the same reasons that you’re all messed up. Not to mention the fact that you have been avoiding her. Sango’s been at her house a lot this week. She’s probably on her way there now, thanks to you,” Miroku sighed.
“Stop your whining. You’ll get plenty of time for that later cause Kagome will be fine. I’m gonna go straighten everything out. I’ve finally figured it out . . . ”
“Could you be more specific?”
“I’m gonna tell her my secret . . . that I’m a hanyou.”
“Well, I guess it’s about time. You have been with Kikyo for a while now.”
“No, not Kikyo . . . Kagome. I’m gonna tell Kagome and if she doesn’t freak out and accepts it, I’m gonna tell her how I really feel about her.”
“I’m sorry. I just assumed you meant Kikyo, because you’ve known her longer. Well, that’s even better news. Kagome is a sweet girl. I really like her. I think she will be really good for you. What helped you make your decision, may I ask?”
“I finally realized that Kikyo isn’t who I thought she was. Or maybe she was once, but I’ve changed and she hasn’t. She is still so petty, with her gossiping and picking fights. And she always seems like she’s hiding something from me. But besides me being a hanyou, I’ve never hidden anything from her. Kagome tells me everything, well almost, everything. She would never go into a lot of details about things that were too personal, but anything else, she tells me. She has told me that she loves Hojo, but never once has she said she was in love with him. And I don’t think I’m in love with Kikyo. I needed Kikyo and Kikyo needed me. We were both in some bad relationships in the past and we comforted each other. We made a relationship out of that. And I didn’t love her, not right away. It was months before I even thought I might love her. But I’ve only known Kagome for a short time and I’m falling in love with her. It’s been less than two weeks and I can’t stop thinking about her,” he smiled at the thought of Kagome.
Miroku just sat there dumbfounded. He had never seen Inuyasha like this before. ‘Maybe he hasn’t ever been in love before. I think he is really in love with Kagome.’
“Well you put a lot of thought into it, obviously. And I’m not sure, but from what Sango told me, Kagome is falling in love with you. I think you should go for it. I guess you should go find her and talk to her.”
“Yeah, I’m way ahead of you,” Inuyasha said rushing to the door. Just before he was out the door Miroku called him.
“Inuyasha!”
“Yeah?”
“Good luck man. You and Kagome deserve each other. You two are really good people.”
“Thanks Miroku,” Inuyasha smiled as he left and headed to Kagome’s.

Inuyasha only got halfway out the door when his cell phone rang.
‘Oh shit. Not now Kikyo. I guess I should see what she wants. I have been avoiding her all week.’
“Hello,” he said, quickly jumping into his car.
“Inuyasha, I need you to come over . . . please . . .” Kikyo was sobbing.
“Kikyo, what’s wrong?”, all his attention, now focused on the crying girl.
“I can’t . . . talk about it . . . over the phone. I need you . . . to come over here . . . now,” she cried even louder.
“Ok. I’m on my way. Just stop crying. I’ll be there in a minute,” he said as he flipped his phone closed and speeds off in his car.

He got to her house within minutes and raced to the door, which was wide open. He could smell that someone had just left. It was a guy’s scent, and it got stronger as he walked through the house. As he walked up the stairs, to Kikyo’s bedroom, the scent was so intense it made his blood boil.
‘What the hell happened in here! Did she . . . ’
He ran into Kikyo’s bedroom, livid, to find her sitting on her bed, crying. Her clothes were ripped and hanging off of her, and her hair was coming out of the ponytail it was in. It was worse than what Inuyasha originally thought. His anger was know mixed with saddness and guilt. 'Gods, no! Not this, how could somebody do this to her.'
“Oh Kami, Kikyo what happened to you?!” Inuyasha ran over to examine her, asking but already knowing what happened. He could smell a man’s scent on her and inside her, and her appearance, it could only mean on thing.
“It was . . . horrible. I told him . . . I didn’t want . . . but he just would listen . . . he pinned me down . . . he ripped my . . . and . . . ,” she broke down crying again.
Inuyasha was trying to hold her and comfort her. He was so angry, he wanted to kill something, or somebody as the case may be.
“Kikyo, you have to calm down and tell me who did this to you?”, he asked as calmly as he could.
“It was . . .” she stopped, slowly looking up at Inuyasha, wiping the tears clouding her eyes.
“It’s ok. You can tell me.”
“It was . . . HOJO!”, she shouted and sobbed uncontrollably, grasping on Inuyasha’s shirt and buried her face in his chest.
