Chapter 2: The Truth About Women and Dogs

It was hard getting through the rest of the week with him in all of her classes. Didn't he pay attention to class? His eyes fixed on her when she was around and she felt like he followed her home too, she wouldn't put it past him he was good at hiding. From everyone else at least. But after a while she shook it off, why would he follow her, it was the past between them, she had moved on, so shouldn't he have too.

She and Sango after school Friday decided to visit the ice cream shop and hang out, as they finished their ice cream and were getting ready to leave she heard an unwelcome voice behind her. "If I'm not mistaken, I think you're ignoring us, or," he flashed his trade mark, and overly arrogant smirk as a group of followers melted at it, "you're ignoring just me."

"Hello, Miroku, how are you?" she said not even gazing at InuYasha as she passed the two boys and their following in which Miroku had his full attention to. He was still trying to find a girl to not only go out with him and maybe someday marry him but, being the lecher that he is, also needed to ask the girl if someday being able to bear his child. Being that the girls were idiots they either giggled to one another or blushed and froze, unable to say something to his `naughty comment'.

When Kagome addressed him, he turned his full attention to Sango, of course after being polite and mumbling fine Kagome's way. Sango was in a good mood, luckily for Miroku, because when he repeated his proposal to her, she responded with a slap in the face. Not like before, because she didn't fully knock the hentai out. He took this as a good sign and almost tried it again but noticed the welling anger in her friend, as the two girls left not even glancing towards InuYasha. "Hello Kagome," repeatedly came from InuYasha's mouth but no response was ever made, no glance or gesture, angering him. At that note Kagome and Sango left the only thing being said was Kagome going, "Goodbye Miroku."

"What was with that?" InuYasha said with anger and jealousy filling him. "I know she noticed me talking to her." He looked over at his lecherous friend. "WELL?" Miroku stopped at his uneventful flirting and looked toward his purple-faced friend.

"You know she is just trying to get over you. It is obvious she hasn't fully gotten over you, and apparent you haven't gotten over her either." Miroku said bluntly as the, now calm, silver haired boy looked at him in shock and disgust.

"I am over that…that wench!" he said as he faced away from his friend, arms crossed; only muttering a single word, "Feh".

"You know you are so stubborn, with jealous impulses.You're afraid she found someone else. In which case I do have to admit you were a fool to let her go." Miroku said, patting InuYasha on the back.

“I am NOT jealous! And who would I be jealous of? I'm almost perfect!” he rebutted.

“Riiiiight… dog boy…” Miroku said, calmly sitting as he got hit in the head. “You know InuYasha I am going to get a tumor some day from all this head trauma…”

“Good then maybe you won't be so much of a smart ass.”

Kagome woke Saturday early and got started on her chores around the shrine, followed by any homework she didn't do the night before. She started her laundry when her mother asked her to go to the store for some milk and bread around noon. She agreed asking her mother to watch her laundry for her. She walked to the store and got the groceries and then started her way back home. As she walked home she thought about what had happened yesterday. She giggled when she remembered the look on InuYasha's face as they left the ice cream parlor.

All the sudden she tripped and prepared to fall, covering her face and dropping the groceries. But didn't, she looked up at who had caught her. She frowned at the site. "Looks like we meet again?" he said with that same cute, yet annoying smirk, her in one hand the groceries in the other.

"I didn't need your help, I would have been fine." She stammered, noticing Miroku having a good laugh at how close he was holding her to him, InuYasha noticed too, setting her aside and turning away muttering 'stupid girl'. "Well, if you're done become a lecher like your friend, I'm going to go now." She turned to go out but, gasped as she felt his hand grab her wrist.

"I'm sorry for being nice to you," he said looking directly into her eyes, her insides on fire again as those violet eyes pierced her soul. She looked into them and saw he was hiding something, but that was normal for him. Miroku was getting impatient behind them.

"She's fine, come on InuYasha, we are going to be late!" Usually a patient person, Miroku looked like a five-year old boy that needed to go to the bathroom. This meant they were going to go somewhere where the group of girls were going to be. So he could use his lecherous ways to try to get a date or grope a girl. 'Pervert' she thought.

"Go ahead, you pervert, I'll only be a second," just as he said this, Miroku ran off his face lit up at the mention of what he wanted to do. Now turning to Kagome, he spoke again with the same misleading smirk he always had, but even before the words left his mouth Kagome had already begun to speak.

"I would have been fine!" she pulled her hand out of his grasp, "You didn't need to come be a jerk!" This comment wiped the smirk off his face for a little while.

InuYasha crossed his arms and stated to slowly walking away, he stopped briefly and looked over his shoulder at her. "Don't worry, I was trying to save the milk, we can't waste food can we?" and begun to walk again.

"STUPID JERK!" she yelled at him as she started to cry turned and ran towards her house. As she opened the door and ran inside, she paused and freshened up to present herself to her family. She walked in the kitchen holding back the tears, put the groceries away, and proceeded to her bedroom.

As the girl left, InuYasha wanted to laugh at his own joke and the scent of her tears came back to him, and he couldn't. Another emotion had come over him, guilt and he didn't know why on the outside he thought he was over her, but he knew now, he guessed wrong. He joined Miroku soon enough, "So what did you do now?" looking at his friend, seeing that he had a red slap mark on his face.

He chuckled, "You know me by now, and I always do something to get this treatment from the ladies, but once I learn the secret to wooing them this will happen no longer." He laughed again, getting a puzzled look from InuYasha. "I see you and Kagome didn't get off well, I don't know what went wrong between you two but, you should respect one another. Mostly the problem is that you don't know when to shut the hell up! Besides if you and Kagome are not good with each other, what makes you think I will ever be able to get my hands on her friend?"

"You're giving me advice, when you're the lecher! You can't go for more than five seconds without needing to slap a girl's ass! And as for Kagome's friend she can do a hell of a lot better than a pervert like you!" he stopped and gazed at Miroku with utmost fury in his eyes, as he looked away he gained a tiny smile on his face, "You should really get some help. Like the 8 step program, Perverts Anonymous."

"Shut up! Neither of us really has room to talk. By the way, did you even happen to get the chance to tell her we are here for good and not moving back to Kyoto, and while you did that did you tell her you still love her?" Miroku knew he had him there.

"I don't still love her! And I didn't tell her that we moved here for good; it is none of her business."

"Riiiight" he finished giving his friend a cautious look of disbelief. “You know you are better with the ladies then you think, I saw Kagome's face, all blushed when you touched her. So…” Miroku got into his face and continued, “what is your secret?”

“Even if I had a secret I wouldn't tell you, you would use it for evil. And I can go and unleash that pent up libido of your out of the fairer of the sexes now can I jackass?” he responded.

“So you will tell me after I get laid then, when my `libido' is no longer `pent up'?”

“Feh, I give up with you…” Miroku chuckled. He had strayed away from the Kagome thing, but touched it delicately enough he knew his friend would be thinking about it for a long time.

Up in her bedroom, Kagome cried until she had no more tears, lying on her bed hugging her pillow. 'Why did he have to move here?' she thought, 'He is either stalking me or he has come here with his family and they are staying for good?' At this thought she tried to cry again but couldn't, her eyes were dry and she was tired. But she needed to find a closing to the story of the kid who had brought her so much grief. She got up and went to get her phone; she needed to talk with him then. After picking up and replaing the phone on the hanger, she finally decided she needed to do this. 'That's the only way that I will know.' She was calling Sango, "Hello? Yes, is Sango there?" she asked trying to hide her depressed mood, "Sango it is Kagome, I was wondering if Miroku had given you his number." Sango started to laugh thinking Kagome already knew the answer to that, but wanted to be polite.

"Yeah, I have it, unfortunately, why?" Sango questioned, "Even though I was the first to get it I don't think I was the last." Kagome faked a laugh trying to cover up her sadness. Sango soon enough gave her the number. She said goodbye to her friend and hung up. After a while she picked the phone back up and called Miroku's house.

"Hello? Is Miroku-chan there? Thank you." He wasn't home which means she had to go out and find InuYasha and talk to him, which wasn't going to be an easy task. He could be anywhere. But it was mid-afternoon so she had the time, and she had the whle search for him to figure out what she was going to say. She left and told her mom she was going to Sango's so she wouldn't be worried. Then she left heading for the places he started hanging out in the past week.
