Kagome ran to the well, tears running down her face. Inuyasha had said the
meanest thing anyone can say. Kagome was heart broken and shunned. Sango
and Shippo followed her, while Miroku stayed behind to yell at Inuyasha.
Kagome jumped on the edge of the well.
"Kagome! Wait!" Sango called out. Kagome turned towards her. "Kagome.. What happened?"
"How could anyone say that? Inuyasha is such a jerk! He said that. that I could. could never be loved by anyone because. because I was the most horrible thing ever. How could he say that?" Kagome sobbed. Sango looked sympathetic.
"Oh, Kagome. Inuyasha doesn't know what he's saying. You are a great person," Sango said. Shippo nodded.
"I love you Kagome," said the little fox pup. Kagome smiled.
"Thanks Shippo, but that's not the kind of love I'm looking for," Kagome said before she jumped into the well.
***On the other side of the well***
Kagome hopped out of the well and headed towards her house.
"Kagome! Kagome wait up!" She heard a familiar voice call out. She turned to see Hojo running towards her.
"Oh. hi Hojo," she said sadly.
"What's wrong? You look like someone broke your heart," he said softly. She nodded. He smiled sympathetically and took her into his arms. "Oh, Kagome, why don't you have dinner with me tonight and you can tell me all about it, okay?"
She nodded, "I just have to put this inside and tell my mother where I'll be." He nodded and walked with an arm around her while she did what she said.
Soon they were seated at a very fancy restaurant. "Hojo, this place is beautiful," Kagome sighed.
"My father owns it, so we get free meals here," he said with a rueful smile. She smiled sadly. "So. are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Well. let's just say that a 'close friend' of mine hurt me badly with some really cruel words," she said, fresh tears coming to her eyes. Hojo kneeled before her, brushing away her tears.
"Kagome. please don't cry," he said before kissing her. She kissed him back. "Kagome."
They broke the kiss; "How about we eat then go for a walk?"
"Okay," she said with a smile. They eat dinner and then left for the cherry blossom park (A/N: I don't know if there is one, but I thought it would be romantic, and no this is not a Hojo + Kagome fic!). Hojo took Kagome's hand and kissed it.
"Kagome, I've known you for years. since grade four. And. well. I'd really like for us to be more than friends would. Will you. be my intended?" He asked nervously. Kagome gasped then smiled.
"Yes. yes I would," Kagome said while hugging him. Hojo swung her around laughing. Unknown to both a very hurt and jealous hanyou sat watching the girl of his dreams become another's intended. Inuyasha sniffed in a gulp of air. A loose tear escaped down his cheek. He had come to apologize for his words earlier, but instead he found Kagome with another.
"Kagome, here. it's my grandmother's engagement ring. It's been in the family since the Warring States Era. Even this jewel has special qualities, they say that it came from a special jewel that shattered. This stone has brought our family good luck for generations," he said slipping the ring on her finger. Kagome smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Kagome! Wait!" Sango called out. Kagome turned towards her. "Kagome.. What happened?"
"How could anyone say that? Inuyasha is such a jerk! He said that. that I could. could never be loved by anyone because. because I was the most horrible thing ever. How could he say that?" Kagome sobbed. Sango looked sympathetic.
