Yuka said, "Come on Kagome come to the club with us. You haven't gone anywhere lately because of all your illnesses and since you are doing so much better we want you to come to this new club that just opened up last month. We went there when it opened and it was pretty cool. So come on you're going to go and anyway Hojo will be there."

Kagome could only think God why does everything we do have to involve them making me interact with Hojo. Alright I know a way to get out of everything if I invite Inuyasha to come with us then it won't matter because then at least I have someone to talk to at least. And if anything then at least Hojo will leave me alone.

Kagome said, "Alright I'll go where is this place?"

Eri said, "It's on the corners of Lilly and Nash. You can't miss it it's the Moon Light Night Club."

Kagome said, "Alright I'll meet you there then. I have to ask my mom if I can go so if I don't show up it means that she said no ok."

Yuka said, "Alright but she won't we know it."

Kagome said, "Alright well I'll see you three tonight. Bye.

Girls said, "By Kagome see you tonight."

Sun Set Shrine

Kagome sat on the couch and said, "Mom Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri want me to go to the Moon Light Night Club with them tonight. Don't ask me why but they do."

Kun-Loon said, "You can go if you really want to. It's not a school night so the only person you have to worry about is Inuyasha. Do you think he'll let you go?"

Kagome said, "Actually I was thinking of asking him to go with me. I really don't want to go to this night club by myself since I really don't know it and on top of that Hojo is going to be there and I am so tired of the girls setting me up with him."

Kun-Loon said, "I thought you liked Hojo."

Kagome said, "Yeah I did but I don't love him mom. He gets so annoying at times and it's really boring to talk to him. Because of all my absences and illnesses he's constantly trying to take care of me and what I really want him to do is to leave me alone at times. So I figure if Inuyasha goes with me then maybe he'll lay off for a while and on top of that maybe it'll give me a chance to be with Inuyasha without all the demons attacking us all the time."

Kun-Loon said, "You really love him don't you?"

Kagome said, "With all my heart but he doesn't love me at least not the same way I do him. So can I take Inuyasha with me?"

Kun-Loon said, "It's alright with me but it's him that's going to need convincing. He's out helping your grandfather in the storage shed. I can call him in here if you want."

Kagome said, "Would you."

Kun-loon said, "Yeah I will."

Inuyasha walked in and said, "You wanted to see me Mrs. Higurashi?"

Kun-Loon said, "Actually Kagome wanted to talk to you. So I will go help my father and you two talk."

With that Kun-Loon left and Inuyasha went into the living room where he smelled Kagome's scent the strongest. He sat on the couch near her and waited for her to say something.

Kagome said, "Well my friends asked me to go to a club with them tonight."

Inuyasha said, "Well you can't go."

Kagome said, "Thought you'd say that. I thought since we are alone and there are no demons here to attack us then we could go together since I really don't want to go by myself I was sort of think we could go together."

Inuyasha said, "You want me to go with you to this club. Why? What's the catch?"

Kagome said, "Well one that guy Hojo is going to be there and I know you don't like him. And two I want to spend time with you alone for once without being constantly attacked by demons and having an audience of a lecherous monk, a curious demon slayer and certain two tail and fox kit we all know. So come on what do you say will you go with me?"

Inuyasha said, "I don't know what will I have to do at this club?"

Kagome said, "I really don't know anything about it. They said it opened last month and since I was with you I really don't know. But come on please it'll be fun."

Inuyasha said, "Alright I'll go with you. I could use a break from your granddad and the others so yeah alright sounds like fun."

Kagome said, "Cool but you will have to go with my mom and get some new clothes because if you wear your kimono then you will definitely stand out. Now since I already have something I want to wear it will be just the two of you going alright. By the time you get back I will be almost ready."

Inuyasha said, "You girls take way too long to get ready for things."

Kagome said, "Actually I will be doing my homework first then getting ready since we are leaving tomorrow."

Inuyasha said, "Oh ok sorry."

Kagome said, "Nah don't be it should be fun lets just enjoy ourselves ok."

Inuyasha said, "Alright we will."

Inuyasha had left with her mother to get some new clothes and Kagome was up doing her homework then she decided to get ready when she had finished it all. Inuyasha came home and Kun-Loon said that he should take a shower so he did.

Within four hours Inuyasha sat on the couch waiting for Kagome. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. He also had his hair pulled back into a very high pony tail but only enough to hide his ears and not to give away his secret. He waited for Kagome while her mother went to see if she was ready.

Kun-Loon said, "She'll be down in a minute. She's just finishing her makeup."

Inuyasha said, "I don't know why she puts that stuff on she's just fine with out it."

Kun-Loon said, "Inuyasha can you come with me I need to talk to you."

Inuyasha followed her into a room he didn't know but from the scent it was her father's room. She sat on the bed and bade him to have a seat next to her. He sat on the bed next to her and waited for her to talk.

Kun-Loon said, "Do you like my daughter?"

Inuyasha said, "Well I…"

Kun-Loon said, "I am only asking because Kagome's told me how she feels about you and I only want her to be happy. So I am asking you do you have feelings for my daughter."

Inuyasha said, "Yes I do I just don't know the depth of my feelings for her. I know I care for her but I don't know if I love her. That's only because I don't know what love is. I'm a half demon the only thing I have ever been given is hate so it's hard for me to understand what that means."

Kun-Loon said, "Well what is it you fell when you're around her?"

Inuyasha said, "I know that when I'm around her I feel safe. I know that I don't want anything to happen to her and when she's crying my heart feels like its breaking and I don't like it. I also know that if anything were to happen to her I'd be really sad."

Kun-Loon said, "Well Inuyasha I hate to say this but that is what love is."

Inuyasha said, "Well I wouldn't have known what it is I felt if you hadn't told me."

Kun-Loon said, "Well Inuyasha if you really do feel that way with her then you should tell her because to be honest it would be better if she knew. Inuyasha she asked you out with her because she is in love with you and has been from the first day she met you. She may not admit it but a mother knows these things. Now I don't mind you two being together to be honest Inuyasha I already think of you as family and have since she brought you home that first time. Well what I am saying is you need to express your feelings before you loose her completely."

Inuyasha said, "How would I loose her? I keep her safe from everything that could possibly hurt her."

Kun-Loon said, "You keep her safe from everything but the one that is obvious. Kagome is not as happy as she makes everything out to be. A mother knows when her child is hurting even when she isn't showing it. And Kagome is hurting not physically but mentally and emotionally she is. She loves you but thinks her feelings aren't returned which as we have figured out isn't true. But she doesn't know it."

Inuyasha said, "So you mean I'm protecting her from everything that can do harm to her except herself."

Kun-Loon said, "That is exactly what I mean. She may not do it right away but I am afraid my daughter may try to harm herself. Whether she does it here or she does it with you I'm not sure but I know she will eventually do it. Believe it or not I've seen it but where she is I do not know."

Inuyasha said, "You're a seerer."

Kun-Loon said, "Yes but a very weak on at that. My mother was stronger as was my husband. But I have seen it none the less."

Inuyasha said, "Do not worry about Kagome alright. I'll take care of her and if it's because of me that she does it then I'll make sure she doesn't do it. Promise."

Kun-Loon said, "Thank you Inuyasha. Now Kagome should be ready so why don't we go out there and wait for her."

Inuyasha said, "Alright."

Kun-Loon said, "Wait I wanted to give you this before she comes down so she doesn't know I gave it to you."

With that Kun-Loon gave him a wallet with some cash in it and a credit card. He took it and saw how much was in it and went to give it back when she refused.

Kun-Loon said, "My father said you earned every bit of that money. Let's call it payment for services rendered."

Inuyasha said, "Thank you Mrs. Higurashi really."

Kun-Loon said, "Your welcome now lets go see how my daughter looks."

Inuyasha said, "Alright."

They walked out of her father's room and back to the living room and hadn't been there long when Kagome came in. Inuyasha literally fell off the arm of the couch and onto the floor backward at the sight of her. She looked at him trying to figure out if it was from fright or from shock. She was actually afraid that his antics were from fright and not shock and that would just break her heart.

Inuyasha said, "Damn Kagome."

Kun-Loon said, "Inuyasha don't swear. But you look wonderful Kagome."

Kagome said, "Thank you mom."

Inuyasha said, "Actually she doesn't look wonderful."

Kagome looked at him with a little anger and a lot of hurt. Inuyasha got up and walked over to her and around her to look at her better and stood in front of her smiling.

He said, "She looks beautiful."

Kagome's grandfather said, "Now that is the best thing I have ever heard. He's right Kagome you do look beautiful."

Kagome blushed and said softly, "Thanks Inuyasha."

Inuyasha said, "So should we go now."

Kagome said, "Yeah alright. Mom will you give us a ride?"

Inuyasha said, "Actually we don't need a ride we already have one."

Kagome said, "Really."

Inuyasha said, "Yep he's already waiting outside."

Kagome said, "Alright lets go then."
