New Happenings in Our Lives
Chapter 1
"Harry…Harry…Harry wake up. Come on Harry, we have to go. We have school…Harry you have 5 second to wake up… that's it…WAKE UP!!!" Harry jerked awake when the thin covers were ripped from his body while cold water was thrown on him. Harry jumped out of bed scowling at the short person in front of him responsible.
"Kagome!! What was that for?! I was having a good dream." Harry said loudly.
"Your fault, you wouldn't wake up for school." Kagome told him, sticking her tongue out at him teasingly. Harry stared at her for a few seconds causing her to blush. He snapped out of his daze and turned around so his back was toward her.
"Alright, I'm up. Give me twenty minutes to get ready. Wait here." Harry said with his back still turned toward her, and took his shirt off. Kagome blushed a slightly darker pink than before. When she saw Harry about to pull his pajama bottoms down, she turned her back toward him. She looked around Harry's room. There was barely anything of Harry's in Dudley's second bedroom. He only had his glasses, his schoolbooks, and Dudley's second hand clothes that the Dursleys' gave to Harry to wear, and that was it. The rest of the stuff was the 'broken' things that Dudley didn't want anymore. There was a slightly beat up dresser, borough, a lamp and a single worn bed mattress in a wooden twin bed frame. The mattress was a sadness in itself. It had a big indent in the middle of the bed. Every time Harry went to sleep he always slide into that indent and made a little cocoon.
"All right, I'm ready. Lets get this day over with." Harry rolled his eyes at another 'fun' day at school.
"Don't be so down today might actually be a good day." Kagome said trying to cheer Harry up.
"Sure it will, then Dudley and his gang will come and ruin it."
" Then I'll just beat them all up!! You know I can!" Kagome said, holding a fist in the air.
"Uh huh, yeah, I know you would try. But they only have to sit on you and you're out for the count." Harry said amused.
"Nuh uh. Daddy taught me how to fight before he went away. And momma let me continue it through classes.."
"Well at least you knew your dad. Sometimes I think about them and wish him and mum were here, instead of the Dursley's." Harry said looking down at the road.
"Hey what have I told you? No matter what I will always be here for you. Even if I move or you leave, we will always be best friends, and keep in contact with each other. Right? Promise on our ancestors?" Kagome said pulling his head up to look him in the eye.
Harry looked into Kagome's ocean blue eyes that had silver and aqua green flecks in them. 'beautiful… I'll always protect her one way or another.'
As Kagome looked into Harry's eye she saw an emotion shining there.
"Harry, are you ok-?" before she could finish her question, Harry grabbed her into a tight embrace. Kagome was stunned for a moment, then snapped out of it.
"Harry, what-" Kagome couldn't finish her sentence once again because Harry interrupted her.
"I promise on our ancestors that we will be together no matter what happens in our lives, and that we promise to tell each other everything no holding back, promise on our ancestors Kagome?"
Kagome looked up into Harry's vibrant green eyes, while still in his embrace. She looked deep and saw the truth of his words in his eyes. She smiled at him lovingly and laid her head on Harry's chest feeling calm by just hearing his heart beat through his chest.
"I promise that we will tell each other everything no holding back, no matter what." Kagome said still smiling with her head still her chest.
"So, what are you going to do for your birthday?" Kagome asked while grabbing Harry's hand to drag him faster to school.
"Nothing... the Dursley's are going out that night to one of Uncle Vernon's coworker's party." Harry looked down and started to kick a stray pebble across the ground. Kagome looked over to him and smiled softly as her plan started to come into place.
"Good, then you can come out with me for the day. We're going to have fun and eat out, my treat of course. Think of it as my treat to you. And don't try to turn it down either." Kagome said, interrupting Harry as he tried protest and turn it down her offer. "I already talked to them and bullied them until they agreed into letting you go out with me."
Harry stared at her for a few moments, and then shook his head smiling.
"We can go out and have fun, but you are not paying for it. I have enough money saved up for a day of fun. We can go out to eat--" Harry was cut off from his ramblings by Kagome grabbing his arm and stopping him mid-stride.
"Uh uh, forget it mister. It's your birthday, I'm treating. You're my best friend and as your best friend, I'm allowed to treat you out to a day of fun. No whining or I'm going to give you a noogie." Kagome glared at him and tried to intimidate him by waving her fist at him threateningly. Harry laughed at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Alright, I'll let you spoil that day on one condition." Harry continued looking forward as Kagome looked at him curiously.
"What condition?" Harry finally looked down slightly at her and smiled again.
"You let me treat you for a day on your birthday. Accept the condition or I'll pay for myself on our 'fun day'." Kagome blushed and thought over the condition for a minute, then slowly nodded her acceptance of the proposal. Harry's smile turned into a grin when he saw she accepted the condition that he stated.
"Alright then, it's a date." Harry faced forward again, causing him to see not see Kagome's blush deepen.
"Harry, it's not a date. It's a day of fun between friends… I think." Kagome swore her face would become permanently red. Harry looked down at her again and chuckled slightly at what he saw.
"Then my lady, will you give me the honor of going out with me this Saturday?" Harry asked dramatically, grabbing Kagome's hand in his hands. Kagome laughed and blushed faintly.
"Why good sir, I would be honored with going out with you." Kagome said dramatically, flipping her hair behind her shoulder, acting like a snob. Harry laughed at her antics, and bound gallantly.
"Why thank you dear lady. You're so considerate, going out with a low-class person. How can I ever repay you?" Harry wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, making Kagome laugh and blush.
"Nothing at all, good man. You only have to spend the whole day with me. Is that perfectly alright with you love?" Kagome batted her thick long black eyelashes at him enticingly. Harry grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist. Randomly, Harry decided to take on a country accent.
"Well darlin', as long as you keep me occupied, I'm a happily satisfied man." Harry tossed a grin her way and winked. Kagome had to laughed at Harry.
"Good, so it's officially a date then?" Harry asked. Kagome giggled and blushed.
"Yeah it's officially a date." Kagome smiled, then paused. "And Harry?"
"Don't let Dudley and his idiot goons walk over you, okay?" Harry hesitated for a second then nodded his head. Kagome hugged him for a while, then finally let him go.
"Don't forget what we promised." Kagome wrapped her arm around his waist, and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I won't forget, and that's a promise." Harry looked down at her and smiled slightly.
"Well, well. Look at what we have here. A brat and his little wench."
