~CHAPTER 14~

Secrets Slip and the Truth is Told

 

Kagome stood from behind the tree watching and listening. Inuyasha had chosen Kikyo. Her eyes began to water and tears started to stream down her face. Kagome quietly turned around and began to walk off.

 

"You are not the one I am I love with."

 

Kagome froze. Her body trembled with anxiety. If Kikyo wasn't the one he was love with, who was he in love with? It couldn't be. Kagome stood there waiting, wondering what would be the next thing from the hanyou's mouth.

 

"Then who are you in love with?" Kikyo asked tightly. Her voice seemed to regret the answer that was coming.

 

Then Kagome heard it.

 

"I am in love with Kagome."

 

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. Inuyasha had just declared his love for her, to Kikyo. Kagome ran back to the village, her body overcome with happiness. On her way back she saw Sango, standing, looking at nothing in particular. "Hi, Sango."

 

"Hello, Kagome." Sango said softly. Her eyes were red and blotched from crying.

 

"Are you alright?" Kagome asked.

 

Sango nodded and sat on the ground. She brought her knees into her chest and wrapped arms around them. "I'm fine."

 

Kagome sat down next to her grief stricken friend. "Don't worry Sango. It was probably one huge misunderstanding. Miroku loves you."

 

Sango smiled weakly. "You're right, just one big misunderstanding." The tone of her voice made it clear that she didn't believe it.

 

Kagome felt sorry for her friend. Kagome tried to stand up for Miroku but it didn't look too good. "Miroku is so insensitive! How could he say he loves Sango then go out with another woman? Maybe he didn't do anything with her.” Kagome couldn't help but think Miroku was back to his old ways again.

 

Sango smiled. It was a big and clearly fake smile. "So what happen between Inuyasha and Kikyo?" Sango asked in an attempt to change the subject.

 

Kagome felt a twinge of guilt. How could she tell Sango about her happiness while she was having such a troubled time?

 

"Don't let my problems keep you from sharing, Kagome. We are friends and friends can be happy for each other even when their spirits aren't very high."

 

It seemed like Sango knew Kagome had good news. Kagome reluctantly said, "Inuyasha told Kikyo he loves me."

 

Sango gave her a genuine 'I'm so happy for you' smile. "Kagome, that's great news."

 

Kagome smiled. "Yeah, it is. That also means I'm ready."

 

Sango raised her brows in confusion. "You're ready? Ready for what?" Suddenly realized what she was taking about. "Ready for that."

 

Kagome nodded. "Yep. Inuyasha has finally proved to me that he loves me." Kagome realized her mistake. She looked at Sango and tried to look beyond the façade.

 

"Don't worry about me, Kagome. I'm fine and I'm also happy for you."

 

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

 

Inuyasha walked across the clearing with his arms in his billowing sleeves. He had just told Kikyo that he loved Kagome. His only regret was having to Kikyo's reaction. She had sworn vengeance and he was worried that she would keep her promise. Inuyasha found Sango sitting on the ground.

 

"Are you alright, Sango?" He asked as he approached her. Sango looked up startled, whether it was because he came out of nowhere or she was surprised by his concern, he didn't know.

 

"Hello, Inuyasha." Sango spoke monotonously. Inuyasha could see her eyes were red from crying. "Nothings wrong. I'm fine."

 

Inuyasha snorted. "Sure," He agreed sarcastically. "No sense lying."

 

"I'm fine, Inuyasha." Sango said, repeat, slightly angry.

 

"There's something you should know, Sango." Inuyasha stared out into the sky. He saw Sango look at him from the corner of his eye. When he realized her had her attention, he continued. "Miroku didn't do anything with her."

 

"What?"

 

"Miroku didn't do anything that girl."

 

"How would you know?" Sango asked.

 

"I know because I was there." Sango stared, interested. "That girl asked Miroku to find something for her, I went along. It was a couple of demons and a spirit."

 

Sango couldn't believe her ears. "So I overreacted." She whispered out.

 

Inuyasha's keen sense of hearing picked up her words. "Yeah, you did." Inuyasha said insensitively. Sango began to cry once more and Inuyasha started to feel guilty. Inuyasha didn't something unusual, he put his hand on Sango's shoulder.

 

Sango was extremely surprised by Inuyasha's actions. She became more comfortable when Inuyasha began to gently rub her shoulder. Sango quickly stood and smiled at Inuyasha as his hands retreated back into his sleeves. "Thank you for telling me this, Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded. Sango smiled. "I'm going to return the favor."

 

Inuyasha looked at Sango wondering what she was going to do. "How?"

 

"I'm going to help you out by telling you something. Kagome was there when you were with Kikyo." Sango watched as Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. Sango spoke before Inuyasha could. "She heard everything, everything." Seeing Inuyasha's reaction, she decided to tease him some more. "Don't worry, it's a good thing she found out." She began to walk away.

 

"Why?!" Inuyasha called out to Sango's back. When she was a good distance away, she said something. Even with the great distance, Inuyasha heard what she said: 'She's ready to have sex with you.'

 

Inuyasha stood speechless. "She's ready to have sex with me." He said aloud. Inuyasha grinned. He sprinted off to the village. He had to be careful about how he approached this situation. The time and place had to be right.

 

Inuyasha stopped when he reached Kaede's hut. He could smell Kagome, Sango, and Kaede inside. He waited, eavesdropping, trying to hear what they were saying. All he could hear was silence.

 

"Inuyasha! Come on in!" Kagome called out.

 

Inuyasha walked into the hut trying to look innocent. Kagome and Sango were sitting while Kaede was busy with her herbs.

 

"So what were you doing outside?" Kagome asked, smiling.

 

Inuyasha looked at the women suspiciously. "How did you know I was outside?"

 

"You're not the only one who suffered from side effects of the marking." The confused look on the hanyou's face told Kagome she needed to elaborate. "My miko powers have grown just like your demon abilities have."

 

Kaede decided to take over from there. "Kagome's miko powers have increased. The child can now sense the auras of persons and other living things. Yet that is only a fraction of what the child can really do."

 

Inuyasha nodded. He understood the basics. Because of her marking him, she got a power boost just as he did. Now she could sense the auras around her. With some training she might be able to sense past barriers and then they could find Naraku. Inuyasha suddenly began to wonder what else Kagome could do. The thought actually scared him some, well maybe not scare but he was somewhat apprehensive.

 

Kaede stirred her herbs. "Kagome, I will try to train ye to the best of my abilities but your power far surpasses my own. It is my belief that ye are equal footing my sister. It is possible that ye have surpassed Kikyo."

 

At Kikyo's name Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango suddenly became silent and uncomfortable then started looking around the room. Kaede looked at them suspiciously but ignored it and exited the hut.

 

In attempt to rid the room of the abnormal silence, Kagome spoke up. "My birthday's in three days, Inuyasha!" She said cheerfully.

 

"Huh? Birthday?" Inuyasha asked confused.

 

"Yeah. You do know what a birthday is?" Kagome didn't wait for Inuyasha's verbal reply, his look was enough for her. "A birthday is…" Kagome went off into this long explanation on what a birthday was and how every year a person has a party on that day.

 

Inuyasha nodded when Kagome finished her explanation. He knew what a birthday was but it had been so long since he had celebrated one, about 195 years. Inuyasha lied down on the floor and rested his head in his palm. "So what are you going to do?" Inuyasha asked.

 

"I'm going to spend the morning in my time then come here during the afternoon."

 

Inuyasha grunted. "What about you, Sango?"

 

Sango looked up Inuyasha. "What?"

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "How are you going to fix things with Miroku?" Sango fell silent and Kagome stared angrily. "What?" He mouthed to Kagome.

 

"Inuyasha's right," Sango said somberly.

 

Kagome stared surprised. "He is?"

 

Inuyasha growled. "Don't sound so surprised."

 

"I made a huge mistake and now I have to apologize." Sango said as she tapped her fingers on the wooden floor. "What do think I should, Kagome?"

 

Kagome smiled. "I think you should apologize." Kagome paid no attention to Inuyasha's rude snort and continued, "Miroku is a very understanding person a will forgive you." Inuyasha snorted once more. "Do you have an idea, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked smartly

 

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do." The hanyou replied just as smartly. "This isn't a situation that can be solved with a 'sorry'."

 

"Humph! Seems like most of our situations are solved and you don't even say 'sorry'." Kagome said casually.

 

Inuyasha's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He knew she probably talking about Kikyo but he replied with an equally smart remark, "It may not be verbally but I find creative ways to say I'm sorry."

 

It was Kagome's turn to blushed in embarrassment. Sango cleared her throat. "Excuse me but can we get back to me?"

 

"Sure," Inuyasha said, "You're to have to come up with some special ways of apologizing."

 

Kagome listened. She agreed with Inuyasha but didn't want to admit it. The little arguments and exchange of insults they had were fun, in a twisted way. Honestly, it turned her on a little. Suddenly something came from Inuyasha's aura. It was a hot feeling: raw passion. The feeling engulf her body. Kagome did her best to keep herself calm, Inuyasha would be able to smell if she was aroused. Inuyasha sniffed at the air. Kagome tried to order herself to calm down. Inuyasha seemed to give up of finding out what the smell was and went back to resting.

 

Kagome silently sighed of relief. Something was troubling her. What was Inuyasha thinking that made him so happy? More importantly why was she affected by it?

A/N: This seems to be a growing trend. People commenting on the fact that characters may seem a little out of character. This is a FAN FICTION! The characters will not be exactly like they are on the show. The situations that take place in the story are for character and plot development. You have a problem with the way I write, there's a simple solution: don't read. I'm not begging for your reviews. It's nice to here people complement my work or suggest ways of improving it but I don't need bias people who have no clue in hell what they're talking about.

I don't don't write to make you happy; I write to make me happy. If you happen to get enjoyment out of what I write, then great. If you don't, too bad. I welcome creative criticism. I don't welcome nasty reviews.
