InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dressing the part ❯ Indecent Proposal? ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha (or anything else for that matter), I wouldn't be writing fan fiction. I'd be coming up with more ideas for new TV shows and collecting royalties checks.

Dressing the Part

Chapter Twelve

Indecent Proposal?

"Get OFF her you pervert!"

Kagome was really embarrassed. Sango was pissed.

"You're calling Kagome, of all people including yourself, a pervert? You're such a hypocrite! For your information, Kagome hasn't done anything perverted since birth. I'm the one who started it. So you can mind your own damn business, Houshi! And by the way, I didn't know knocking wasn't considered a common courtesy anymore!"

"It's not just them. Nobody knocks around here," replied Kagome who quickly recalled the many times people have barged into the room as she interrupted Sango's tirade.

"That doesn't make it right! That pervert and the dog had no right to come in here and criticize anything we do."

A stunned and speechless Miroku was not a thing Inuyasha was used to, nor was a freakishly debaucherous Sango. What the hell was going on? And if Sango started it, why was Kagome on top?

"If you started it, why is Kagome on top? I always imagined you as the type of girl who likes to be on top, Sango," jovially teased Inuyasha. He gave a trademark smirk to the boiling tomboy on the bed.

The two girls disentangled themselves from each other and sat next to each other on the bed. Sango glared at Inuyasha incredulously while Kagome stared at the floor. "Yash, I now the whole concept of fun is kinda new to you..."

Poor Miroku's mind was mad with pain and jealousy. `Fun? What kind of fun has that asshole had with my precious Lady Sango?'

"...but you have heard of a tickle fight before, right? You do know by the end of it usually one person ends up on top, right?"

"Whatever. I don't really care what you do. At first I thought the idiot was trying to rape you or something..."

"So did I," spat Miroku bitterly.

"...but on second thought, you could take any jackass that tried. What the hell are you doing here anyway?"

Brought back to the reason why she was there. "How the hell could you do that to Kikyo? I mean, I don't really like her all too much, but she didn't do anything to deserve what you did to her. I thought you guys have only been seeing each other for the past three years. She told me you loved another girl. I told her you couldn't string her along like that. Imagine my surprise when she claims to have heard the very words she's been longing to hear from you for so long said to another girl. Is it true? Are you that much of an ass?"

That look killed him. That look of disgust and contempt she rarely held for any of her friends, including Miroku when he groped her. He hadn't known Kikyo was at the club to hear him. He didn't want to hurt her, but knowing now that she was there, all the game made sense. She wanted to get back at him for betraying her.

"I didn't mean for her to hear that," Inuyasha whispered defeatedly.

"You said you loved her!" outbursted Miroku. "If she heard you she would have thought you were crazy. Man, I know you dream about her, but you don't even know her!"

"Who is he talking about Yash? What girl?!"

With neither of the boys willing to speak, Kagome decided to answer. "He's talking about Miko." `He dreams about me? No, he dreams about the superstar. He wouldn't want me."

Sango looked at her as if she had grown another head.

"Miko?" Sango looked straight at Kagome with mouth agape. Regaining her composure, she spoke to Kagome. "I haven't seen her in a while. How is she?"

At the question, Inuyasha attention concentrated solely on Kagome.

Kagome gave a faint smile. "She's lying low right now, but Mom said she got offered a couple movie deals. If she does it, I'll have to leave to help her out again."

Inuyasha joined in. "You do that?"

"Yeah. Why do you think I enrolled so late? The only reason I was able to get in was because my sister felt bad for keeping me out of school for so long. She bribed the school with an ad deal for next year to let me in."

"Whoa. Wait! So you could leave before the season's over? That's messed up."

"Leave me alone. I'm lucky I got to stay this long. I may have to leave after the grudge game."

"You're playing in the grudge game?" interjected a surprise Sango.

"Playing? He's pitching."

"That's not fair! You can't pitch!"

"That's what I said. I've probably have more experience pitching underhand to girls than anyone on your team."

Sango had looked steamed, but visibly calm. `Maybe I can use this to get something else I want without admitting I want it.' "Houshi?"

Miroku brightened at being addressed in a pleasant tone by Sango. "Yes Lady Sango?"

"If you convince Inuyasha to let Kagome not pitch, I'll let you kiss me for ten seconds."

Just as Miroku was about to agree through his large grin, Kagome spoke.

"What?! Sango you can't do that. It's your first kiss." Kagome seemed very apprehensive for Sango.

Why did he have to say that? Why did Kagome have to ruin this wonderful opportunity like that? He couldn't do that to Sango. He loved her. He couldn't let her give away her first kiss just because of a deal. But he wanted to kiss her. He needed to feel her lips against his. However, that little bit of information also revealed that Kagome had not kissed Sango.

"I'm sorry Sango. I can't do that. Let's get out of here Yash."

Inuyasha, just as confused as everyone else, walked out bidding farewell to both his teammate and his childhood friend. Miroku paused with his back facing the girls and simply walked away.

He didn't see the tears in her eyes. He didn't see her pain. All he could think of was the beautiful girl he could not take advantage of.

All she could think of was how little he truly cared. He played games with her heart, but all he really cared about whether he won the game or not. Was she so reprehensible that the boy who did every girl in sight couldn't bother with her? Was it because she was too ugly, hung out too much with the boys, too inexperienced?

She didn't understand, but the dilemma was neither did he. He had taken advantage of so many girls, manipulated so many hearts. When the girl he wanted above all others presented him this opportunity, why was he not able to take it?

He was defeated.

She was heartbroken.

The strong willed girl had disguised her attempts to have him kiss her without appearing to submit to his alluring charms. She was attracted to him. She cared about him. His smile made her knees go weak. But, he treated her as if she were one of the guys half the time. The other half, he treated her as if she were the ugly friend of a hot chick he was going after. With Kagome here, maybe she was.

Kagome saw her tears and hugged her best friend as she sobbed uncontrollably.

It was ironic in so many ways. When offered the one thing he wanted more than anything else, Miroku couldn't go after it. Both Sango and Miroku wanted each other, but felt unwanted by the other.

She was a failure and he was a coward.

They both lingered on opposite sides of the door for quite a while. Finally, both turned away.

AN- I know. It's crap and it's a lot sadder and meaner than I expected. I had plan some more embarrassing moments for the girls, but this is what came out. My revisions are a bit weak but whatever. There will be a plot change after the game to make the story longer. I have hinted as to what it is but, not quite.
