Disclaimer: BERP… no need say this again right?

Note: How's the story going so far? Im trying my best to keep the story line together. . thanks for reading and reviewing.

Sorry, I don't have time to respond to all of you. But thanks for all of your reviews!

sessys-lover4eva - answer to your question:I do like Miroku and Kagome, but its just kind of odd if they were together in the real series. But in a fic their personalities are different and sometimes they look really cute together. Anyways, did you notice there are two of us that use this name? LoL… well I'm Ashley. The other one, Nikki, who didn't like that couple, so I agreed with her and let her put it up on hated couples. And plus I wanted to make a story that weren't like others ideas, because some people would like to read different things. Hehe, but thanks for reading and reviewing, and I hope you weren't so confused, and that you enjoyed the story so far.

Were you expecting a Miroku/Kagome fic? It's sort of a mix. But you'll see who ends up with whom at the end, if you'll read on. Thanks for asking. I don't want anyone to be confused throughout the whole story.

"Inuyasha," The teacher pointed at the student who sat in the back, who seemed to be looking somewhere else "Have you finished your test already? Or have you been slacking."

Inuyasha turned his attention from the window to the lady standing in front of him. He looked up. "Slacking?" He said, with a 'duh' expression. The class laughed.

The teacher looked down to his paper, it had blank all over it.

"Mmhmm" The teacher shook her head in disappointment. "This is your first test Mr. Inuyasha, and you are slacking? You'll receive an F if you don't finish before the bell ri--"

The bell had rung.

The students ran out of the classroom like a while stampede. Before she knew it, the whole class was already deserted.

"Inuyasha, you got an F," Miroku came from behind him "Doesn't that bother you?"

"No, not at all"

"You need good grades to stay in football."

Inuyasha turned his head towards Miroku "Shit."

Miroku held in his laugh. "Well, you're missing our next game this weekend, that's all."

And so they started to walk out of the hallway, passing the crowd who step back for them; because they knew they were football players. Other guys said their "Sup" and the girls just stared shyly.

Finally when they had gotten out of the crowd, Miroku had turned the other direction from where Inuyasha was going.

"K, I'll see you later." Miroku patted his shoulder before he was about to run off,

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked "You're not going to practice?"

"Oh no, not today, I'm going to find Kagome." Miroku tried to hold in his blush. Luckily Inuyasha never notice, because you know, It's Inuyasha.

"Oh, Why?"

"It's her birthday tomorrow."

"What, Really?"

"Yeah." Miroku nodded.

"So did you get her anything?" He asked curiously

Miroku took a minute to look for something in his bag, Inuyasha who patiently watched him in a confused position.

"This." Miroku held something shiny out of his bag and in front of Inuyasha's face. It had pearls around the neck lace that looked sharp, but it was dull, then there in the middle was a jewel. It was the color of purple, pink, blue. It changed colors actually.

It was something Inuyasha had never seen before.

"What the hell is that!?" He yelled.

"Shh!" Miroku looked around to see if anyone was looking. "It's called the 'Shikon no tama'. Its really rare, a jewel like this most likely doesn't exist anymore."

He looked down to the jewel, like he had gotten lost in his thoughts, and smiled "My parents had given this to me before they had died, and told me to give it to someone special in the future. And I think I found someone who deserves it."

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah" Miroku placed the jewel back into his bag, and turned away from Inuyasha to go searching for Kagome.

"Wait!" Inuyasha ran after Miroku "I just have one question to ask."

Miroku looked at Inuyasha, questionably.

"Are you sure Kagome, ain't your chick?"

Miroku's eyes widened and blushed "of course!"

Inuyasha smirked, and instead he had run off this time.

----

Kagome had stuck all of her books in the locker 'HOMEWORK! And school just barely started…' she let her shoulders sag after she had closed her lock.

"Kagome?" She heard a voice behind her, and she almost jumped. Turning her head over her shoulder she noticed Miroku standing there.

He was looking away.

While, Silence rang through their ears

"You know about last night-" They both said at the same time, but stopped so they could let each other speak first.

"Wait, you first"

"No, ladies first remember"

"Never mind, its nothing really." Kagome looked down blushing.

"Oh, me either." Miroku tried to think of something, to change the subject "Happy early birthday?"

Kagome just smiled and thanked him. They both acted as if nothing happened last night, it was a little awkward at first when they went walking out of the campus.

With none of them bringing up last night, they talked about normal things. Then everything was back to normal.

"Oh god," Miroku had hit his palm against his forehead "I forgot something in class, I'll be right back. I'll meet you back at the office."

He turned around and ran back into the hall leaving Kagome his bag; Kagome looked back watching, until he had faded out of sight. Then, she made her own way back to the office.

It was so quiet. Everyone had seemed to go home, except for the people who were working in the office, but she waited on the side of the office where no one usually passed, sitting patiently on a bench.

She looked down at her lap, at the bag that lay upon her. 'I wonder what he's got in there, but it would be really wrong of me to peek. Will it?'

Slowly she tried to unzip it, until someone had sat beside her. Her hand shaking, she quickly zipped it back closed.

"What are you doing?"

She was about to look to the side of her, hoping it wasn't Miroku. She turned her head, seeing someone else.

"What are you doing?" he repeated "that's Miroku's bag, which would be wrong looking through a guys stuff." He flashed a smile at her.

She smiled shyly, her cheeks the color of pink.

"Inuyasha… why aren't you at football?"

"Miroku, ain't going so I ain't going either."

Kagome just looked to the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable at how close he was sitting next to her. It wasn't normal for her to be sitting next to the guy she really liked, this close!

It was quiet for a moment, and he still sat there, like he was waiting for her to talk to him. So she broke the silence.

"So, how are you and Kikyou?" She bit her bottom lip, 'what a stupid question you had to ask, Kagome' she thought to herself.

"Kikyou, why would you ask about her?" He had an irratated face on.

Kagome blinked confusingly "But, don't you guys like each other?"

"NO." Inuyasha shook his head violently "She likes me! and plus I told her It was over months ago."

"Oh." Kagome put on a shock expression.

"Dammit Kagome, I don't like her. No one understands that. She can't understand either." His expression of irratation stayed more, at the thought of kikyou "I just can't tell her to leave me alone, she still thinks we're a couple, and I'm tired of acting like we are. But, I hate breaking a womans heart."

He paused.

Inuyasha had looked down sadly "I know what it's like to become heart broken." Here was a moment where Kagome had never seen him so sad before. "I don't know what to do…"

"Why don't you tell her you want to be friends, and tell her she could someone better? not that your not perfect and all." It was that simple, right?

He smiled at her again, like she had given him an idea he never thought of before.

"Kagome," She turned her attention back at him, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course" Her heart beat ran faster, afraid of what he was about to say. It took a while for him to spill what he had to say, but he got there.

"Well, I've always wanted to be with someone fun, someone that would make me happy. I wanted to be a couple, like we were best friends. When I seen you and Miroku together, sometimes I wished I was him, and to tell the truth Kagome, Kikyou wasn't like that. I felt like we weren't supposed to be. All She wanted was to kiss; she got mad at me for the stupidest things, and I can't stand her picking on everyone, it makes me feel guilty, that i can't do anything about it. And you know the worst thing of all?"

Kagome shook her head slowly.

"She always wanted 'sex'!"

Kagome let out a gasp. 'Sex?! she is a slut…'

He continued. "I had seen you around a lot. You seem so happy, and fun. Even if I never had the guts to talk to you much, you made me smile, just seeing you around. No matter if your always with another guy."

"Huh... me?" she asked, trying to figure out where he was trying to make out.

He nodded. "Kagome, What if I told you, I had feelings for you?"

Her eyes widened, she felt her heart skip a beat. This was something she had never expected to hear from him.

"Excuse me?" she almost choked.

"What if I told you, I had feelings for you? What If I said, 'I like you'?" He repeated again. He stared at her, blushing as if he was going to wait forever for a response.

"I…um..." She was speechless.

"I don't like Kikyou." She felt his hand gently hold onto hers, seeing his blush grow more than hers.

"I really like you, Kagome."

----------------

Note: Miracle huh? He likes her too, they're so cute together. Inuyasha ain't that dumb. Did you ever hear of 'selective hearing'? That's when guys only listen to things they wanna hear.

Incoming chapter: you don't need me.

Miroku comes back to the office, finding Kagome after he returned from forgetting something from class. Seeing Kagome talking to Inuyasha, he listens to their conversation from around the corner. He hears Inuyasha telling Kagome hurtful things towards him But not mean things, so Miroku sadly walks home without her, forgetting about his bag.

Short summary of next chapter

- Kagome finds something in Mirokus bag, which got her suprised.

Please don't forget to leave me at least a quick review!
