An Important Question and A Terrible Misunderstanding
Japanese
Nee-Chan=Big sis
Kagome sat outside in the snow leaning over an old wooden fence staring at the sky thinking of how she would ask Inuyasha. And to think I'm choked up over a little question. I suppose it's a lot more than that. I mean it's pretty important I guess. "Hey Kagome, what are ya doin out here? Get inside. I don't want you catchin a cold or nothing." Said Inuyasha as he came outside and stood next to Kagome with his hands in his sleeves. "K, I'm coming." Said Kagome unfreezing herself from the daze she had put herself in. I'll ask now. No one else is her. It's the perfect time. Kagome wanted to ask Inuyasha is she wanted to spend Christmas with her in her world. It was a pretty big deal so it was kind of hard for her to ask because she knew there's a 50 50 chance he would say no. "Hey Inuyasha." "Hmm? What is it Kagome?" "Well there's this holiday in my era that I celebrate and it's kinda a big deal and" she said while staring at the ground kicking the snow around "And I was sorta wondering if you umm…" her voice was shaking "What is it come on and spit it out!" said Inuyasha waiting impatiently "Well I was wondering if you wanted to spend the holiday with me in my era this year?" she looked away sheepishly expecting a sharp "No" back but didn't get one. All she got was silence. She turned and looked at Inuyasha staring at the ground just as she had and he was blushing. "Ya I guess so." He replied. For a second Kagome thought her heart had skipped a beat. He really wants to come! I can't believe it. Inuyasha walked to the Bone- Eaters Well while Kagome went back to Kyade's village to grab her bag. Inuyasha slouched down against the Well and sighed. "So you're going back with Kagome. Have fun." Said Miroku popping up from behind the well "What the! Miroku what the hell are you doing! Were you spying on was that whole!?" "The real question is do you know what this whole thing is really about?" "Wha-what da ya mean by that?" Inuyasha asked nervously "Ahhh, so you don't know do you?" "Stop with the games and spit it out!"Inuyasha hadn't really thought about why she had asked him to come. He was just flattered to have been asked to come in the first place. "Well, judging by way Kagome was acting when she was trying to ask you, it seems to me that's something meaningful and you're coming as more than just a friend." Miroku said looking very seriously. Inuyasha gulped a bit and caught Kagome's sent drifting in the wind and he could her running up in the distance. She came up out of breath. "Hey Miroku. Ready to go Inuyasha?" "Ohh ya. Let's go Kagome." He gave one more glance at Miroku and he was looking at Inuyasha as if he were saying, "Remember what I said" and he jumped in the well. "Hey Kagome. What are we gonna do at this special holiday of yours anyway?" Inuyasha asked "Oh well, it's called Christmas and we eat food and give the ones we care about presents. Nothing too big." To Inuyasha by the way she talked about it, it sounded a lot more important than she made it out to be. Presents for the ones we care about. It echoed over and over again inside his head. Once back in the present Inuyasha opened the doors to the shrine and helped Kagome up and out of the well. "Hey Inuyasha! It's you!" Sota said about to kick a soccer ball which Buyo was laying on, saving him from going flying. "And you Nee-Chan said you wouldn't come!" "Shhh Sota!" Kagome said putting her finger to her lips. They walked inside the house and where greeted by Kagome's mother and Grandfather. "Inuyasha dear, welcome back and you to Kagome!" "Hey mom!" "Inuyasha my boy! Have you come to spend the holiday with us?" "Ya, I guess so." Inuyasha replied "Inuyasha why don't you go sit down, I'll be back in a little while." Kagome said putting down her bag and putting on a coat on. "I'll be back in a little mom." Kagome said reaching for the door handle "Hey can I come?" Inuyasha said getting up "I'm sorry Inuyasha but not this time." "What why not!" Inuyasha replied both surprised and upset. Normally he goes everywhere and didn't understand why he couldn't go this time. " I really am sorry Inuyasha but you just can't come this time." "Come on! I'll were that little hat and everything! Don't tell me you're embarrassed by me!" Inuyasha felt a wave of displacement come over him. At first he didn't mean it but now that he thought about it, he was different from the males of her world. "Why would you think that Inuyasha? I would never think that." "Inuyasha dear why don't you help me clean up a little bit?" "Whatever." He slumped off and you could tell he was really upset now. I feel really bad but I can't take him this time. I wish he understood what I'm doing for him. She was going to try and get him a special present for she cared that much about him. My, what a terrible misunderstanding. thought to herself as she led Inuyasha in to the living room.
