Broken Heart Healed

AN; I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters

Chapter 6: Unspoken Confession

Kagome’s anger shot up at Miroku’s action. She couldn’t believe he had just made her think he was going to give her her first kiss. ‘I should slap him’ she thought evilly. She quickly got up and walked out the hut with her fists clenching. “The nerve of him,” she complained to no one in particular. “What’s wrong Kagome,” asked Shippo in an innocent voice. “Nothing,” she quickly answered while picking him up. She couldn’t tell anyone about Miroku kissing her on the cheek, much less that she kind of wanted him to kiss her a bit more passionately. As she headed back inside the hut she wondered ‘Why am I so mad that Miroku didn’t kiss me’.
Miroku saw the way Kagome had gotten angry. He smiled when he faintly heard someone say ‘then nerve of him’. He wasn’t sure if she was angry because he kissed or because she wanted a different kind of kiss. He truly wished it was the second. Something about Kagome was changing him. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He seemed to hate seeing any guy go near her. Also she seemed perfect to him. That’s why he was starting to hate Inuyasha. He couldn’t stand seeing Kagome hurt by that ignorant dog. That’s why he decided to do something. Buddha gave him a second chance to live, and he planned to live it through. He would do whatever it took to help Kagome’s heart heal.


It had been a week since Miroku’s near death experience. The group had been on their way to a village that claimed a demon was after them. Inuyasha as always was in front of the group leading and pushing them to go faster. Kagome was in between carrying a sleeping kitsune. Miroku walked behind her. He always did enjoy the view from behind. Sango had been clingy with Miroku ever since the day she saw Kagome asleep by Miroku. She could clearly see the relationship with those two had suddenly changed. Something in her had sparked since then. She knew her relationship with Miroku was never official, but everyone knew there was something between them. Sango in a way felt betrayed. She could tell Kagome’s heart was slowly letting go of Inuyasha, and she had a feeling Miroku was taking his place.
She walked ahead of Miroku and started walking with Kagome. “Kagome, why aren’t you riding with Inuyasha,” she asked. Kagome slowly turned to face her best friend and said, “I kinda wanted to be alone to think.” Sango could tell something was bothering her. “What’s wrong Kagome?” “I’m not sure, but I don’t think I love Inuyasha anymore.” Sango looked at her to see if she was serious, and saw that she was. “Why do you say that,” she asked. Kagome wasn’t sure how to answer her without saying she was starting to fall for Miroku. “Well, Inuyasha has made it clear to me that he’ll never let go of Kikyo. For the past few weeks I’ve tried to let him go. I think I finally have.” Sango felt hurt. Like she had just been stabbed in the back. Kagome hadn’t mentioned anything about Miroku, but she could tell he had something to do with her change of heart. “Kagome, how do you feel about Miroku?” Kagome froze with the mention of Miroku. She didn’t want to lie to her best friend, but she couldn’t tell her she was developing a crush on him that would most likely end. That was all the proof Sango needed to see Kagome had feelings for Miroku. With that known she walked towards Inuyasha. ‘How could Kagome do this to me’ thought Sango furiously.
Inuyasha had heard the whole conversation. When Kagome said she didn’t love him anymore he felt a bit saddened. ‘Why am I hurt? I love Kikyo, don’t I’ he thought. Then when he heard Miroku’s name he wondered why Sango would ask about him. He then realized Miroku was acting differently with Kagome. ‘So I’ve been replaced’ thought Inuyasha bitterly. Miroku had also heard the conversation. He was overjoyed to hear Kagome was over the mutt that shattered her heart. After hearing his name he slowly walked closer to listen better. When no answer came he was a bit hurt. But when he saw how Kagome stopped, and looked nervously at Sango he knew the answer. His heart was suddenly beating at a pace he’d never experienced. He was ecstatic that she felt something for him. With the thought of holding a part of Kagome’s heart gave him a sudden determination to woo her.
