Hello again, chapter two is now ready to read. Please enjoy and review.
Chapter two:
Kagome walked down the stairs. Taking her jacket and purse, she walked out to meet up with her date. 'Well here goes nothing' Kagome thought to herself walking up to him.
"Hello Kagome, you look beautiful tonight" Shouhei said complementing her.
"Thank you Shouhei" Kagome replied as they started walking. Shouhei took Kagome to a local restaurant in town. After finding their table and ordering, Shouhei started the conversation.
"So Kagome how long have you lived at the shrine?" Shouhei asked, after taking a drink of soda.
Kagome was lost in her thoughts, just staring at a nearby window, not saying anything, not even hearing his question.
"Kagome did you hear me?" Shouhei asked impatiently.
"Oh sorry I guess I was thinking of something else", Kagome said while looking away from the window, and back at him.
"Look Kagome I think you are a very beautiful girl...I'm honored that you agreed to this date" Shouhei said while looking her in the eyes, He continued while giving Kagome a smile, "But if you would like to do something else I'll understand"
Kagome sighed not exactly sure what to say, "No Shouhei, it's just that I have a lot on my mind now." Kagome said while looking down at her hands.
Shouhei slowly reached for one of her hand, but Kagome quickly took her hand back once she noticed. "Sorry Shouhei, I'm not ready for that yet"
"That's fine Kagome, I understand, well why don't we go for a walk in the park? Maybe that will help" Shouhei suggested.
Kagome thought about it for a minute 'maybe a little walk won't hurt, it's just a walk' she finally concluded in her head, so she nodded her head,gave a small sad smile, and they were off.
Once outside Shouhei slipped his right arm around Kagome in trying to help her relax. But she only tensed more. The feel of another man's touch just didn't feel right to Kagome. The only arms she could ever feel safe in where Inuyasha's. 'Didn't I just tell him I wasn't ready?' She thought sadly to herself.
"You know I love that spring is coming" Shouhei said while trying to pull Kagome just a bit closer to him. Now Kagome was really nervous something just didn't feel right at all,but she couldn't place it.
Back in the feudal era
"Miroku I'm worried, Inuyasha can't keep staying out there like this. His health will be at risk, if he keeps this up." Sango said while sitting with Miroku in their now finished house.
"I know I tried talking to him but he keeps pushing me away and even little Shippou away, when we try to talk to him." Miroku said while pulling Sango in for a hug from behind.
"Shippou I can understand but I wish he would hear you out at least" Sango told her husband while putting her hands over him.
"Inuyasha's not weak, dear Sango, he can take care of himself he did it for many years. I think now though he wishes he could have had the courage to tell Kagome how he felt this whole time. He realizes now that he may never get to. They truly need each other" Miroku told her with wisdom behind his voice.
"I think Inuyasha may need Kagome a little more though" Sango replied while looking up into her husband's eyes.
"True as that may very well be my dear, they are both stronger when they are together." Miroku reassured his wife, then continued "One thing is for sure Inuyasha's ears and mouth are as sharp as ever" Miroku said with a smile on his face.
"What do you mean his ears are as sharp as ever?" Sango asked giving Miroku a questioning look.
"Let's just say I think we need to be a little more quite in the bedroom" Miroku said while winking at his wife. Sango just looked at Miroku she knew exactly what he meant. "Oh no!" Sango said covering her mouth with her hand. "You mean he can hear us all the way to the well!?" Sango said with bright red cheeks. Miroku just nodded yes with a big grin across his face.
