Broken Heart Healed

AN; I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 9: New Companions

Sango returned to her room to find Kagome playing with Shippo. “Sango, we need to talk.” She took a seat next to Kagome. “I wanted to ask you why you were ignoring me yesterday,” said Kagome. “I’m sorry for acting like that Kagome. It just took me by surprise to see you’ve fallen for Miroku. I guess I was angry because I thought I had feelings for him, and I felt like you were betraying me,” answered Sango uneasily. “It’s ok, I understand,” said Kagome while hugging her best friend. “I hope you know I could never betray you Sango. Miroku just…. Somehow got me to fall for him,” said Kagome dreamily. Sango smiled and said, “I can see.” Kagome blushed and said, “am I that obvious?” Sango giggled and nodded. “Oh please Sango. I saw you with Kenji in the garden last night.” Sango turned as red as a tomato. Kagome couldn’t help but laugh. She had never seen Sango blush as much with Miroku as she was doing at that minute. “He wants to join us on our travels,” said Sango suddenly. Kagome looked at her and said, “I think he should. We could always use more help, and you could always use the company.” Sango playfully hit Kagome’s arm. Soon they were gossiping and talking about the guys.


Time had passed quickly, and soon the girls were being called down for breakfast. As they walked into the dining area they were greeted by Kenji and Kano. “Good morning Kagome,” said Kano handing her a rose. Kagome thanked him and gave him one of her best smiles. They went on ahead leaving Sango and Kenji locked in another passionate kiss. After a few minutes everyone was gathered around the table eating and conversing. Miroku kept looking at Kagome to be greeted by the sight of Kano flirting with her. ‘This has to stop’ thought Miroku. ‘Luckily we’ll be leaving after we eat’. “I have something to say,” said Sango nervously. Everyone’s attention was immediately on her. Kagome already knew what she wanted to say, so she reassured her with a smile. “Well, Kano and I are in love, and… well… he’s going to be traveling with us,” stuttered Sango. Everyone gave the couple a surprised stare.
“Well son, if that’s what you have decided then your mother and I will support your decision,” said Sachio. Kenji thanked and hugged his parents. “Father, I would like to join them as well,” said Kano. Everyone was taken by surprise by his words. “Well son, you are old enough to make your own decisions. You may do as you please,” said Sachio. Miroku didn’t like the idea of Kano joining them. “I hope this isn’t an inconvenience or bother to you all,” said Sachio. Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala gave their approvals while Miroku and Inuyasha stayed quiet. “Feh, whatever. You just better be able to defend yourselves,” said Inuyasha while still eating. “I have no objections,” said Miroku convincingly, while inside he wanted to choke Kano. Sango and Kenji couldn’t be happier.


After breakfast ended everyone said their farewells and left. Sango and Kenji were inseparable, and Kano refused to leave Kagome’s side. This was getting on Miroku’s nerves. “Kagome, may I have a moment of your time please,” he asked. Kagome looked towards Kano and said, “well… I’m kinda in the middle of something, but if Kano doesn’t mind.” “I’m sure he doesn’t,” said Miroku while sending Kano a warning glare. “No Kagome, I don’t mind. We can continue our talk afterwards,” said Kano while kissing her cheek. It had become a habit to kiss her every time they parted. Miroku and Kagome walked to the back of the group to talk.
“What is it Miroku,” she asked. “Kagome are you angry at me about kissing you last night?” Kagome wasn’t sure how to answer. She couldn’t say she enjoyed it and looked forward to kissing him again. “No I’m not angry,” she answered shyly. “Then why have been ignoring me and talking to him all morning,” he said while sending an angry look towards Kano. “I haven’t been doing it on purpose. Kano doesn’t talk to any of you all much. I’m the only one he’s gotten to know,” she answered as if it was obvious. “Have you wondered why that is Kagome,” he asked. “Not really,” she answered. He couldn’t believe Kagome could be so naïve sometimes. “Haven’t you noticed how he looks at you, or how he flirts with you, or even how he likes to kiss you so much?” “He’s just friendly,” stated Kagome. “Plus, if he was interested in me why would it matter to you,” she asked.
Miroku was speechless. He couldn’t tell her how he felt about her. “I’m just looking out for your well-being Kagome.” Kagome was a bit disappointed at his answer. She could’ve sworn he was jealous. “Thank you for your concern but I can take care of myself,” she said a bit upset. She made her way back to Kano and ignored her heart that kept telling her to go back to Miroku. Miroku stood dumbfounded at Kagome’s reaction. He decided to go after her. “Kagome, I wasn’t finished.” “Is there a problem,” said Kano while blocking Kagome. “This doesn’t concern you,” Miroku said angrily. Before they could finish bickering they heard a loud scream.
