~CHAPTER 1~

A Conversation Between Friends

 

Two years ago Inuyasha awoke to find himself pinned to the Goshinboku, the God Tree. Before him stood a young girl in odd clothing with an remarkable resemblance to a past love. Kagome.

 

Inuyasha sat down on the grass with his back against a tree and looked into the distance. He became lost in his thoughts of his two loves, of Kagome and Kikyo. "Why do I love Kikyo? She has been dead for fifty years, what I seek to love now is nothing but an empty shell full of anger and hate.” Inuyasha let out a heavy sigh and watched from the hilltop as the people of the village went about their daily routine. "Kagome on the other hand is the picture of perfection, she has stood by my side through everything, yet…”

 

Suddenly Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of Miroku. Miroku sat and laid his staff on the ground next to him. "You seem troubled Inuyasha. Are your thoughts centered around Naraku and the Shikon Jewel. Perhaps you think of Kikyo or Kagome, maybe even both."

 

"It's none of your business monk," Inuyasha growled in response.

 

Miroku noticed the tone in Inuyasha's voice, yet he still continued. "So Inuyasha you still have feelings for Kikyo but you've finally realized your feelings for Kagome."

 

Inuyasha's eye twitched and his temper flared. "I told you to drop it monk!"

 

Miroku stood and took his staff in hand. "Very well, Inuyasha" He sighed. He stopped in the middle of his step. When Miroku spoke it was with a great amount grief. "I'll leave you with this to think about. Kagome loves you Inuyasha but you are too blind to see it. You obsess over Kikyo but are oblivious to Kagome's feelings. There have been a number of times that you have ran off to meet Kikyo and Kagome has found the both of you. She may put on a brave face but tearing at her." Miroku sighed. "You must sort out your priorities, Inuyasha, before you lose a good person." Miroku shook head as walked away.

 

Inuyasha temper cooled off but Miroku's words gave him something to think about. Miroku's voice echoed inside his head. 'Kagome loves you…' Inuyasha continued to think about what Miroku had said. Inuyasha thought back to the times had met with Kikyo, how so many times he smelt a familiar scent in the air yet ignored it. "What does that damn monk know.” Inuyasha stood and walked in the direction of the village. "Instead of trying to give me advice, he needs to get things sorted out with Sango.”

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Inuyasha entered the village and for Kaede's hut. Inuyasha entered the hut to find Kagome, Sango, and Shippo.

 

"Have any of you seen that damn monk?" Inuyasha said impatiently.

 

"Inuyasha! Watch your mouth in front of Shippo, he's young and impressionable." Kagome with some anger in her voice.

 

Shippo walked over to Inuyasha. "Yes Inuyasha, I'm very young and impressionable." He said slyly.

 

Inuyasha squinted his eyes and brought his fist down on Shippo's head. "Ow!" A big lump formed on Shippo's head and he rubbed it furiously. Shippo ran over and crawled up into Kagome's lap.

 

"Forget it I'll find him myself." Inuyasha said walking out of the hut.

 

"What do you think that was all about?" Kagome asked staring at the entrance to Kaede's hut.

 

Sango shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know but has Inuyasha ever had a reason for half of the stuff he's done."

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Inuyasha found Miroku sitting down by the river. Inuyasha sat down next to Miroku and started to speak but hesitated.

 

"Have you thought about what I said?"

 

Inuyasha nodded. "Before we start talking about my problems, let's focus on yours."

 

A puzzled look came across Miroku's face. "What?"

 

"Don't give me that crap, Miroku. I'm talking about you and Sango."

 

Miroku's confusion turned to understanding. "Oh, Sango. What about her?"

 

Inuyasha shook his in amazement of how dense Miroku could be at times. "Do you love her?"

 

Miroku sighed and laid down looking to the sky. "Sango," He said with wanting in his voice. "Sango's beauty is indescribable. She is strong and independent yet she keeps grace and allure throughout it all. She affects me like no other women has ever done before. I don't how to act around her and sometimes I do things that are stupid."

 

A small snicker escaped Inuyasha. "So the reason your always rubbed on her ass is because you don't know how to express yourself."

 

"Correct but enough about me, let's talk about you. I don't understand why you're still in love with Kikyo. Kagome is a living being, she cares deeply for you and might I add she never tried to kill you."

 

Inuyasha growled at Miroku's last comment but knew what he had said was true. "I feel as if I owe something to Kikyo. Maybe it's guilt that's tearing at me, the fact that I'm alive and she isn't." Inuyasha paused and Miroku gave a reassuring nod. "With Kagome… I don't know, she's just different than any other woman I've ever encountered. She's caring and sensitive but has a strong, powerful side."

 

Miroku laughed. "How ironic. Seems like we both have similar problems. Kagome is confused Inuyasha, you have to make it clear for her and express your feelings."

 

"You need to take your own advice monk. Stop running around grabbing Sango's ass, take her in your arms and kiss her."

 

Miroku sighed. "Yes, I suppose you're right." Miroku closed his eyes. "Yes, you are right."

 

Inuyasha smirked. "I know but so are you. What we have spoke about is between us."

 

"Mm." Miroku said in agreement. "Yes, a conversation between friends."

 

Inuyasha nodded, laid back and stared up at the clouds.
