Miroku really wasn't sure how long they stayed like that, huddled on Kagome's bedroom floor, but by the time her mother, grandfather and Souta had returned with questioning looks and concern for the girl, it was so dark that he could barely see his hand in front of his face.

Standing over Kagome's bed, looking down at her as she slept...he couldn't ask for anything more. She was an angel, an angel who had fallen from Heaven straight into his arms. She deserved so much better than him, as much as he hated to admit it. Leaning down, he placed a delicate kiss on her forehead before leaving. She muttered something in her sleep that sounded like, "Chocobears...give me the candy, Mommy..."

He smiled and gently closed her door.

Downstairs, Risa sat reading a newspaper. She gave him a tired smile and a goodnight, and he was off.

It really was too bad that things had turned out this way. He had what he wanted...he just felt too horrible to take it.

Monday came all too soon for Kagome. The entire weekend had been spent crying and moping in her room, wondering what the hell she was going to do. No one would want her now; with her luck, the entire student body would think of her as nothing better than a whore. Damn him! Damn Inuyasha...

At least she still had Miroku, although Sango would hate her now, too. Why was everything always her fault? She'd done nothing wrong...other than inviting Miroku to her house. But really, she hadn't planned what had happened?

Spinning the dial on her locker, she nearly gasped when she saw the note pinned to her glittery locker mirror.

Babe-

Sorry for the way I acted...it's just that I care about you so much, and would hate to lose you to my asshole of an ex-best friend. Please take me back...

-Inu

"Hey, little girl..." A rough, masculine voice breathed in her ear as something cold and thin was fastened around her neck. Her fingers found the object, and she lifted it to her face. A tiny, rose coloured glass pendant in the shape of a delicate heart hung on a golden chain.

"Inuyasha...I..."

"Shh, don't say anything, sweetheart. You're okay now."

Now what was she supposed to say to that? She turned in his embrace and kissed him lightly, barely touching his lips with hers. After, she stared into his eyes and smiled, twirling a lock of his silvery hair.

"Does that answer your question?"

He nodded and kissed her forehead, cradling her slender form to his chest for a long moment before heading off to class.

Miroku watched from down the hall, and hit his head on the locker door. Fuck! How had this happened? Had she already forgotten that, when she had no one else, he had stayed with her? How he had comforted her when Inuyasha abused her?

He really needed to give up on women. Maybe Bankotsu would....

No! He shuddered violently as he saw Jakotsu pinning his cousin to a locker only a few feet away, ravaging his mouth with his. He could see the flash of their matching tongue rings. Maybe he should just lock himself away for a few years. Because there was no way in fucking HELL that he would become gay.

So he did the only thing a man in his position could.

He walked over to Kagome, grabbed her, and kissed her hard. Oh, his movie star kiss. It would make any girl fall at his feet and weep with gratitude...well, any girl- excluding Kagome. When he finally pulled back, breathless, she merely stared at him, wide eyed and innocent. She touched her lips. Was this real?

"Why, Kagome? Why?"

Damnit. This really wasn't fair. She had a headache now...

"Miroku..." He pressed his fingertips to her lips, effectively silencing her.

"Don't. Just...don't."

An angry hanyou popped his head out of a classroom and glared at the pair.

"What the fuck!? Miroku? I told you to stay away from her!"

Inuyasha lunged at Miroku, raining blows down onto his face and chest. Kagome gave a small scream and started pulling at Inuyasha's arm, trying in vain to get him to stop. Miroku, however, stayed still, unflinching, even as the other boy began to berate him for his actions.

"Fucking...asshole! Guess your little Sango whore wasn't good enough for ya, huh? You bitch! So you go after my...woman...some best friend you are..." The tardy bell rang.

Inuyasha released the barely conscious boy and stormed off to class. Kagome shrieked and ran to his side, touching his face and stroking the bruises, willing them to go away.

"Miroku...oh, Miroku, please, say something...!"

"Kagome...love you..." Miroku's eyes rolled back in his head as he promptly fainted.
