Broken Heart Healed

AN; I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 8: Kisses and Questions

As dinner ended Sango and Kenji headed for the gardens, while Kano walked Kagome to her room. “Miss Kagome, I hope you enjoyed dinner,” said Kano while opening the door for her. “Yes I did Kano. Please call me Kagome, miss sounds so formal.” “Well, have a goodnight Kagome,” said Kano before kissing her cheek and walking to his room. Miroku had silently followed the two. ‘How dare he kiss my Kagome’ he thought fuming. Kagome walked into her room blushing. ‘Some guys are so forward’ she thought. As she looked out the window she saw Sango and Kenji in a passionate kiss. She felt empty seeing Sango and Kenji. ‘Why am I the one always alone’ she thought.
As Kagome started to dwell on her loneliness, she heard a light tap on the door. Kagome went to answer it and saw Miroku on the other side. “Hey Miroku,” she said in her cheerful voice. “Hey Kagome, I just wanted to see if there’s anything you might need before we go to bed.” She looked at him curiously. “No, I’m fine, but thanks anyways Miroku.” They stayed silent for a few minutes. As Miroku was about to say something he noticed Sango kissing Kenji in the garden. ‘I guess she got over me pretty quick’ thought Miroku incredulously. Kagome saw how Miroku looked out into the garden. ‘I guess he does love Sango’ she thought sadly. ‘Why do I feel so hurt by that’ she wondered. “Umm.. Miroku, if that’s all you needed….. well…. I’d like to go to sleep soon,” she stuttered. Miroku turned his attention back to her. “Would you like me to join you,” he offered while suggestively raising his eyebrows. Kagome’s face turned crimson as she thought of how she should react to that.
Miroku slowly walked towards her. As she saw this she felt her heart quicken. Within seconds he was directly in front of her. Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist gently pulling her closer. As Kagome looked into Miroku’s mesmerizing purple pools she saw a mix of emotions in them. She saw worry, curiosity, determination, and most of all love. She was drawn in his hypnotic gaze. Miroku’s eyes slowly drifted to her lips. ‘Her lips look so soft’ he thought. ‘I wonder if they feel as soft as they look’. Slowly Miroku lowered his lips to hers for their first kiss. Kagome’s heart stopped the minute his lips made contact with hers. ‘His lips are so warm and soft’ thought Kagome. As Miroku gently moved his lips over Kagome’s he felt his body begin to heat up. He had to stop before he took her right there and then. Slowly he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. They stood there for a few minutes trying to catch their breaths. ‘That was amazing’ thought Kagome.
Before Kagome could say anything, Miroku gave her one last chaste kiss while walking towards the door. “Goodnight Kagome, may you sleep well,” he said without looking at her. ‘What happened’ wondered Kagome while unknowingly touching her lips. Once out the door, Miroku leaned his forehead on the cool wall. ‘Why did I just do that? I hope she’s not mad at me’ he worried. ‘Even if she is mad, that was some kiss’ he thought with a smile before heading to his room. Kagome was now laying down on her futon remembering the kiss she had just received. She could still feel the warmth of his lips on hers. ‘Why did he kiss me’ she kept asking herself. ‘I thought he loved Sango. I thought I loved Inuyasha. Buddha I’m so confused’ she thought bewildered. ‘Who would’ve thought my first kiss would be with him’. She fell asleep with many questions drifting through her head.


When Kagome awoke the next morning she found her room empty. ‘Where’s Sango’ she thought curiously. When she went to look for everyone she heard two people voices coming from one of the rooms. As she got closer she recognized one of the voices to be Sango’s. “Sango I love you,” said the mystery voice. “How can you love me? We just met yesterday,” replied Sango. At that moment Kagome knew the other voice belonged to Kenji. “I know you feel something for me too. I can see it in your yes.” “I do feel something, I felt it the moment I saw you, but I can’t marry you until my friends and I defeat Naraku,” said Kagome. “Then let me accompany you on your quest.” Kagome listened intently. She couldn’t believe Sango and Kenji had fallen in love over one night. ‘I’ve heard of love at first sight, but I never believed it’ she thought. She slowly made her way back to her room. ‘I’m sure they’ll figure it out’.
