Never Meant It
A/N: Um…
Surprise? Gyach, I don't mean to update so late…I meant to update after coming back from China, but then my cuz stayed a little longer than planned, and Six Flags was calling to me, and then Jare got back from France, and then tennis started followed my school…
Gomen nasai. :pout:
Oh, this chapter and the next might get a bit…angsty. For (obvious?) reasons. Or, at least, as angsty as my stupid comedy loving mind will allow. Which, to think about it, isn't much.
Damn.
Benigne (Thank you): Mori'quessir, MeiNyoko, and mykorina for reviewing!!
Flashbacks are in italics, current events are in normal font. There aren't any "dividers" to separate the flashbacks and the normal time, so if it gets a bit confusing, I'm sorry, but it worked better w/o the dividers. Gomen.
Chapter 11: Somewhere Things Went Wrong
Despair plagued the young man as he idly wondered what he was to do in his predicament.
'On one hand, I could just blow the whole thing off and seem like a stupid wussy. On the other hand, I can destroy all thoughts and chances I have with Kags in a millisecond. Boy. Decisions, decisions.' Miroku was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the light footsteps of the aforementioned "Kags."
"Roku! Hey." Kagome smiled up at him, shining brightly. "What's up?...Are you still mad about two days ago's phone call? I said I was sorry…:pout: I was just doing what a normal girl would do! I didn't mean to assume…" Kagome pouted, destroying the cheerful look that had been bestowed on her face not a few minutes ago.
"Huh? Oh, no, it's not the phone call Kags, I already told you I forgave you." Miroku couldn't help but smile at his girlfriend. "It's not you, Kags, I promise." He added, lying through his teeth. 'It's all about you.'
"...Kay…" Kagome accepted, not quite believing the boy. "If you say so." And stood higher to kiss him on the lips.

"So. What'dya think's up with Roku? I mean, he's been all mopey and dreary and sigh-y and stuff. Totally the opposite of his usual self. As you should know."
"I dunno. Why're you asking me?" Inuyasha said, not looking her way. Sango narrowed her eyes.
"…Says you. NOW SPEAK!!" She tackled the hanyou to the floor (which must've hurt, seeing as he was on his computer chair), growling. "I want to know, in full detail or so help you, as to why the fucking hell Miroku has been walking around as if he was going to die or something!"
"…Uh…" Inuyasha gulped. "I can't say?"
"WRONG ANSWER!!" Sango yelled, jumping up and going to sit on her bed, fuming.
"San-"
"Inu, seriously. I'm worried about him, and every little thing that can help me to find out how to cheer him up again is like gold to me. He's my brother, remember? If he's sad, then who am I gunna go to when I'm sad?!" Sango turned around to look at him with tears in her eyes. Seeing this, Inuyasha got up and went to her, wrapping his arms around her.
"I wish I could tell you, I really do. But…" He broke off, not sure how to explain it. "…but it's not in my position to say until after it happens." That said, he got up and left, making sure the door was locked before departing to his house. 'Maybe the bet wasn't such a good idea…'

It had been a week since both sad encounters. Many events happened between those seven days, and the group seemed to be doing worse than ever. Why?
"Kags? Can-can I talk to you? Alone? I'm at the park." Miroku's voice echoed through the Higarashi phone line. "It's really urgent, and I can't tell you on the phone."
Miroku wished he could take back every single word he had said to her starting with the word "Kags."
"…I thought you actually liked me." Kagome said between streams of tears. And yet…
Kagome still couldn't help but love him. And it was the feeling of her heart breaking that made her want to break too.
"I dared Miroku to make Kagome fall in love with him by pretending to love her. I said that if he could do it in two weeks time, I'd believe that he didn't love her. But now…" Inuyasha's ears were plastered to his head at the events that had happened and Sango's look of anger and despair.
Inuyasha wanted to go back in time and stop it all. Stop everything from happening, stop the stupid bet from happening, stop Miroku and Kagome's hearts from breaingk, stop his and Sango's hearts from breaking.
"YOU WHAT?! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS THE WHOLE TIME; KNEW THAT KAGOME WAS GUNNA GET HURT; KNEW, KNEW, knew that they were gunna get hurt, and you still let it happen? … Why?
Sango hoped that it was all a dream, and that she would wake up the next morning in her own bed, Miroku cheerful and chipper, Kagome bright and happy, and Inuyasha hating her as usual. But somehow, somehow she knew that she wouldn't wake up because she was already awake.

A/N: Okay. That's it for this chapter. The story should end in one to three chapters, depending on how much I write per chap.
:rereads her writing: Wow. Pretty angsty. I didn't cry writing though, so…
