InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Girl Next Door ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Quick A/N: So I know its been a year since I said that I would continue this..please don't kill me. Haha but I finally added another chapter, and I'm determined to actually finish this. Like I said in my pervious A/N I am going to start a new one.

 

Another month had passed by and the gang grew closer together. They practically hung out every single day at school, and if they couldn't see each other during the day, the four of them would find a way to hang out with each other. Inuyasha and Kagome got closer than ever. The fact that they were neighbors only strengthened the bond. Their mothers became best of friends. Every other weekend one of them would have a dinner and invite the other over to visit. Inuyasha knew every nook and cranny of Kagome's house. Whether it was the old dust free statues of demon relics that her grandpa had or the yellow laced blanket comforter on Kagome's bed. Their nights would be spent with both of them talking to each other from the their respective windows until Kagome decided to hit the sack.

Sango and Miroku were a different issue though. Since that incident a month ago there was some kind of awkward tension between them. Sango put up a face so that Kagome wouldn't have to worry, but she was having a hard time trying to keep up the charade. Every day she put on her happy face and she greeted him like that incident never happened. She was embarrassed as it was. What right did she have to yell at him like that? At that time she had only knew him for a little bit. She was too proud and ashamed to apologize. These few months had been weird but she was happy that they were still talking. She glanced over to him and noticed that he had been glancing at her. She smiled so that he wouldn't suspect anything.

Miroku glanced over to Sango and saw her smile at him. He smiled back, but frowned mentally. It wasn't that he wasn't happy that she was still talking to him, but things were weird and they both knew it. He didn't like it at all. The act had been going on for some time now and he was sure that Inuyasha and Kagome noticed something. Inuyasha had brought it up one day when they were both at his house, but Miroku dismissed it. Inuyasha took this as a hint and kept quiet. Miroku didn't know what to do. He wanted to just talk to her and go back to the way things were, but he didn't know how to bring it up. He was pretty sure that she wasn't going to just forgive him for yelling at her like that.

Dammit.. he thought to himself. I'm trying to talk to her, but she doesn't want to hear it..

He didn't know what to do. Getting frustrated he got up and walked out of the room. Inuyasha and the girls looked up at the door in silence. He heard the back door open and saw Miroku walk up to the front. Inuyasha sighed.

“ I don't know what's wrong with him,” he said messing with his hair a bit. His friend was in trouble and he couldn't do anything to help him.

“ Poor Miroku,” replied Kagome frowning. “ He's been bumming out for such a long time.” Sango looked at the both of them as perplexed. Was she missing something here?

“What do you mean?” asked Sango. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other, they weren't sure if they wanted to tell Sango. But sighing, they thought it was the best thing to do. They explained to her that how he was putting up a front whenever all four of them were together. He had been sulking around for a while now and he seemed to have really upset about something that had happened, but he wouldn't tell anyone about it.

 

All this was news to her. She thought that he was fine and she was the only one that was going through all of this. Why did it bother him so much? Not even waiting to think of an answer she excused herself and left the room. Running down the stairs she ran towards the back door and opened it. She looked around but couldn't see Miroku anywhere. She ran down the street and saw him about to cross the road. Running with all her might she managed to reach him before the light changed.

“ Mir-mir” she tried to say his name, but she was so out of breath. She grabbed his shirt not knowing what else to do.

~~

Miroku turned around when he felt someone grabbed his shirt. He turned and was surprised to see who it was.

“ Sango?!” he said grabbing her shoulders. She probably ran here, with the way that she was breathing.

“Hey hey are you okay?” he asked her. Still out of breath she did the only thing that she could think of was what she did next. With all her might she hugged him.

“ I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that we had that stupid fight. Its because of me that you're like this right? I'm sorry that I yelled at you for no reason.” Her mouth was flooding out with apologies.

Miroku looked perplexed.

“Woah woah there, calm down.” He said telling Sango to breathe. When she calmed down he hugged her back. “ Its not your fault. I shouldn't have done what I did. And I was just mad at myself for not talking to you about this sooner so it didn't have to escalate. “ he hugged her tighter. They stood there for a minute until they realized that they were still hugging.

 

“ Uhmm…haha” they said sheepishly looking on the ground.

“ We should probably get back” she said turning around.

“Wait” he said grabbing her hand, quickly letting go when he saw her blush. “ I was thinking that maybe we could just chill out..just the two of us”

Sango nodded and they both headed towards the park.

Inuyasha and Kagome looked out the window and saw nothing. The sun was beginning to set and those two still hadn't returned.

 

“ I hope they're okay” said Kagome worried. Inuyasha just grumped.

“Those two idiots are fine” he said with his eyes closed. Kagome took a pillow and hit him in the head.

“ You dummy don't call them idiots you idiot” Inuyasha sprawled back up. Taking another pillow he began to retaliate.

“Eek!” she screamed as she ran away.
