Just A Kiss

A/N: yeah, I updated this really quickly but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I felt I should do this haha. With finals finally over. This feels soo funn haha. And I just want to relax and write now haha. Also wanted: A BETA!!!!!! talk to me through a review if intrested!

Summary: "Thank you. For staying by my side, and for understanding my situation. I couldn't have asked for a soul mate any better than you." Inuyasha closed his eyes. She thought he was her soul mate! His heart lept about one-hundred feet in the air. She was his everything. The day they both turned eighteen he'd marry her. He knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with his soul mate.

"I love you too, soul mate." Inuyasha said soothingly. She was forever his. He knew she would be more than just the girl he feel head over heels in love with.

Chapter 2: The Green and Sushi Encounters

~A Young Youkai~

Why couldn't Friday come any sooner! Inuyasha paced back and forth in his room doing nothing but thinking time should go faster. He was bored out of his mind! Not even the usual video games could get him to calm down. What was this girl doing to him? "Inuyasha-kun?" his house cook spoke through the door.

"Yes?" Inuyasha turned to look at the door.

"Do you think you could make a quick trip to the store for me? I'm out of milk, and unless you want something to drink or eat for supper tonight, I need it." The voice quipped.

"Sure. Just give me a moment." Inuyasha went around his room and grabbed his jacket leaving his keys. The store was only a fifteen minute walk he could use the time anyways to get his mind off things.

Inuyasha headed out his room and walked down to his front door. Looking outside he noticed how cloudy it was getting. "Man I hope it doesn't rain. Then she could never get out." Inuyasha mumbled to himself. Walking down the steps he saw Chu Ba-san tending to her garden.

"Hello Inuyasha!" Chu Ba-san peeped as she was soiling her pansies.

"Hey, Chu Ba-san. Want some help when I get back?" Inuyasha smiled at the old woman. She was a widow who lost her husband in World War Two.

"That'd be lovely, young man! Oh would you mind doing me a favor while your out too?"

Inuyasha walked over to her and said, "Of course."

"Could you get me some coffee beans and banana's while your out. My garden could use some nutrients." Inuyasha nodded. "Oh wait! Let me get you some money." As she stood up Inuyasha noticed how fragile she was becoming. He felt bad for a woman her age still hobbling around and not leaving earth soon to relieve her pain. But nevertheless he knew she would get to see her lost husband in time. So he felt relieved to know she'd soon be happy. And perhaps he also was peeved at the idea that he'd get to care for that crazy dog of hers. Chein would bark at things then run and pee in her flowers. Inuyasha could finally teach that mutt some manners!

"Oh no need to Chu Ba-san, it's my treat. My family loves how your garden grows. You've been around so long we consider you family. Consider it a gift from the Takahashi house."

"You're such a sweet boy Inuyasha. Don't let any girls take that from you." Inuyasha smiled at Chu Ba-san. She had no idea that someone had already stole his heart.

Inuyasha placed the items on the counter pad as the woman rang them up. "That'll be 888.238 yen." (A/N: The conversion is $10.00 in american money.) Inuyasha pulled out the money from his wallet and handed it to the lady. She had long purple acrylics with red dragons painted over each of them. He felt a prickle of one as she took the money out of his hand. Inuyasha quickly bagged his items and walked out onto the street. After about five minutes it started to rain really hard. Inuyasha could see the rain drops splash back up about a foot. He quickly ran into a stationary store (A/N: I don't know what it's called in Japan but a stationary store has all kinds of paper materials, and books, magazines, mangas, etc.) and decided to browse through till it wasn't as bad outside.

"Ayi! Kagome! Can you do me a favor and go buy some more tempura shrip and soy sauce for lunch. We're running low." Kagome stood up as she paused the video game her brother and her were playing.

"Alright Souta, we'll continue this when I get back so be prepared for me to wipe your butt all over this house." Kagome smiled.

"In you're dreams sister dear. Remember you still owe me a manga from The Green store for last game." Souta smirked. Kagome nodded. How could she forget that. Her little brother was a cheat. But nevertheless a bet was a bet.

"Oh Kagome, here take this. Get something for yourself too if you want." Her mother handed Kagome some money.

Kagome grabbed the money as she headed out the door shouting behind her, "Ok thanks mom see you soon!" Kagome headed out and walked down the stairs that led to her old shrine. As it started to pour harder Kagome ran faster panting through the streets of Tokyo. It was a good thing it was raining so hard, because there wasn't much people out and about as usual. But it was a bad thing it was raining so hard because Kagome was drenched in rain water. She could have taken five showers from all the water that poured on her. The streets were beginning to fill with cars left on the side of the street waiting for the storm to pass. Kagome began to see stores closing from the bad weather. She hurried faster and walked into a quick grocery market.

As she placed her item down the isle the woman rang her up. "That comes to a total of 355.295 yen." (A/N: $4.00 in American money.) Kagome reached into her pocket and pulled out the money as she handed the lady her money. Kagome noticed the lady's long purple acrylic fingernails with red dragons painted on them. The lady smiled at Kagome and said, "Thank you. Come again!" Kagome gave a small smile as she put her item in a bag and ran out the market onto the street. It seemed as if the storm was getting much worse than better and to top it off she couldn't even see what was beyond a street ahead. She saw The Green store across the street and decided it was best if she just waited in there till it passed. She knew she could just make use of time by reading anyways and perhaps find Souta a good manga to read. As Kagome walked in she went to the counter and asked the man if she could borrow the phone.

"I'm sorry miss but the lines are dead." The cashier said raspy. Kagome frowned and turned to roam down the isles. As she stared at one about a superhero she regretted leaving her cell phone at home. Kagome fumed over the manga's as she began getting angrier at herself by the minute. Picking up one she started to sneeze. Kagome looked up at the clock and said to herself, "My mom is so worried I bet." Just then she heard someone on the other side of her isle clear their throat. Kagome quickly removed the manga's to get a view of the person. She made out that the man had long silver hair ending at his back, and sweet golden honey eyes peering through a manga. Kagome thought he seemed friendly enough to ask to borrow a phone from him. He didn't seem like the type that would keep the number. She thought she'd give it a shot.

~A Young Youkai~

"Excuse me?" A woman's voice called to him. Inuyasha turned around but didn't see anyone there. For a moment he thought he had imagined it until he heard the voice again only more clearly, "Excuse me!" Inuyasha looked around and didn't see anyone. Where was this voice coming from he wondered? "Over here by the mangas to your left." Inuyasha peered down till he noticed two chocolate brown eyes staring at him. She had eyes that you could swim into forever. Her eyes were so deep he thought he could tell everything to them and just stare at the eyes for hours without getting bored. "Hi, I'm so sorry to disturb you but I was wondering if you had a cell phone I could borrow. The cashier said the lines were dead, and I carelessly left my phone at home. May I borrow yours please?" Inuyasha found himself searching through his pockets and wondered why he was going to carelessly give this girl his phone to use. For all he knew she could just be lying and just take his phone and copy down his number and use it to hack into his family's business somehow. But as he stared into those innocent eyes, he just felt some sort of trust there. Like he couldn't take his eyes off of hers for a moment, because he felt some connection between them.

"Here you go." Inuyasha handed the girl his phone. As she reached for it through the shelf she stopped about midway and peered behind her seeing some person calling her. The girl quickly turned back to Inuyasha and said, "Oh never mind. It seems my brother knew I'd be here. Thank you anyways though." The woman took her arm back and Inuyasha could hear the girls shoes squeak down the isle as she was leaving. Inuyasha sniffed the air trying to get some scent off her to see if she was human. All he could get was different smells coming from all over Tokyo and wet dog. There was a very dim scent of cherry blossoms but Inuyasha just assumed it was from the door outside. The poor woman was soaking wet Inuyasha thought. But he thought nothing more of things, and just went back to reading his manga.

"Sir, the rain has stopped now." The cashier peered into Inuyasha's isle. Inuyasha closed his manga and walked to the counter to pay for it. "I was beginning to think it would be stormy this weekend too." The cashier mumbled as he rang up the manga.

Inuyasha smiled and peered through the store window as he said to himself, "I hope not."

Friday evening came to fast, it seemed, according to Kagome. It seemed like just this morning she was caught in that thunder storm, and as if just five minutes ago she was playing video games with her brother instead of showering to get ready for her date. It was a date wasn't it? He did ask her after all. Kagome finished applying her make up as the doorbell rang. Kagome shouted, "Souta can you get that tell him five more minutes!" Kagome listened to Souta open the door and tried to hear what they were talking about. She could only catch a few words of welcoming Hojo in the house and they were talking about what Souta was up to. As Kagome went around her room she grabbed the essentials and stared into the mirror one more time giving her self silent snaps for effort of putting herself together for tonight.

As Kagome headed down the stairs she double blinked as her mom took a picture of her walking down. Her nervous mother forgot to take the flash off. Kagome put her hand over her face and said, "Mom! I see a dot! Thanks a lot!"

Her mom giggled and said, "It's not everyday my daugter goes on her first date!"

Kagome huffed and said, "Hojo-kun we should leave before my mom drags you into the picture."

Hojo said, "It's alright I don't mind." Kagome knew Hojo was being modest. She remembered at the wedding his photogenic-phobia. Hojo wasn't in one photo except the one his brother forced him into. The rest of the time he was dancing with her.

Kagome took his hand that he dished out and her mom said, "Just one with the both of you please?" Kagome sighed and stared at Hojo as he nodded with a small smile. Kagome and Hojo stared at the camera as Souta shouted, "Three, Two, say sushi!" Kagome and Hojo giggled as her mother clicked and soon followed that off with ahh's because her mom forgot to turn the flash off again! "Oops! Sorry. Well Kagome just be home by ten thirty. No later than that. Hojo please take care of her and bring her back safely." Hojo nodded and flashed an award-winning smile at Kagome's nervous mother.

As soon as they stepped out the house Kagome said, "I'm sorry my mother gets a little carried away sometimes." Hojo shook his head in response and said, "Oh, no don't worry about it. I would do that too if I had a daughter." Kagome giggled as she stepped into Hojo's car.

~A Young Youkai~

"Bye father!" Her father waved Inuyasha and her off as Inuyasha gave her father a stern nod. He knew the rules very well by now. If any weather conditions interfere with their date he was to take her home promptly, and if that wasn't possible he was to call him. They could not be out past ten thirty. Inuyasha had to show him his license, and recite the alphabet backwards when he picked her up and dropped her off at home to make sure he was sober. Inuyasha let out a long breath as he was glad it was over. He looked at his girlfriend as she stepped into the car. She flashed him a smile and said, "I love you." Inuyasha shut her door as a broad smile crossed his face. He loved her too.

After arriving and letting valet park his car he led her into the restaurant. She smiled as they were walking closer and closer to it. Lavish flowers, water fountains, and dashing men in tuxedos aligned the pathway made her even more eager to want to see what this new place was like. Through the bushes they could see the long line forming for people that didn't have reservations. Reservation's that were nearly impossible to get unless you were well-known or rich. Inuyasha stepped up to the host and said, "Takahashi, reservation for 2."

The woman looked down through her list and said, "Right this way, just follow you're waiter." Inuyasha held his loves hand as he followed the waiter to their table. The waiter was about to seat her first but Inuyasha did it for the waiter and pushed her chair in himself.

Inuyasha looked at the waiter and said, "Two waters to start with." The waiter nodded.

"Baby, I'm going to stop by at the restroom for a moment. Just order what you want. I'll be back." Inuyasha smiled as he got up. He walked away and turned one last time to look at the girl of his dreams.

~A Young Meiko~

"Hojo-kun this place is so fancy! This doesn't even look like it could be a sushi cuisine!" Hojo smiled and said, "I told you I needed someone to go with me. Surely a guy can't go to this place alone. Anyone going, would require a date." Kagome blushed. He was so sweet she thought. As they passed the lavish gardens, water fountains, and the dashing men aligned the path she felt like a famous person. Through the bushes you could hear the faint voices of people lined up to dine here. She figured it was a line for people without reservations, or weren't as important.

As she watched Hojo go up and tell them their reservation Kagome couldn't help but smile. He was so hot in his nice tuxedo telling the host about them. Kagome liked a man who was trying to take charge but only to a certain extent. Kagome liked her independence just as much too. Hojo grabbed Kagome's hand as he led her to their table. As soon as the waiter pushed in Kagome's chair she noticed someone sitting right next to them to her right. Kagome peeked through her menu to the person and thought it couldn't be who she thought it was. Hojo said, "You alright Kagome-chan?"

Kagome nodded and turned her menu to give them some privacy and said, "I think I know that girl sitting to your left."

As she looked back at the girl Kagome said to the waiter, "I'll have just a glass of water." The waiter nodded. As Kagome reached for her napkin to place onto her lap she heard the girl call her name.

"Kagome-chan! Is that you?" The girl to Kagome's right said.

Kagome turned to her right and said, "Yuri-chan, I thought that was you! I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure if it was or not. What are you doing here?"

Yuri smiled and said, "I'm on a date with my boyfriend. Why are you here?"

Kagome looked back at Hojo and said, "I'm on a date too. This is Hojo-kun. Hojo-kun this is my old friend Yuri-chan." Yuri smiled at Hojo as he exchanged one at her.

"Babe, I thi.." Yuri's boyfriend stopped talking as he sat down and said, "What happened?"

Yuri smiled and said, "Inuyasha this is my old friend Kagome-chan. She goes to Shikon Academy. The high school I used to go to before I transferred to Aikido Academy."

Hojo interrupted her and said to Inuyasha, "I knew you looked familiar. I'm Hojo-kun, I think we had chemistry together."

Inuyasha looked at Hojo and said, "Oh yeah we do! How are you?"

Yuri smiled at Inuyasha and Hojo and turned back to Kagome, "How'd you meet Hojo-kun? I didn't know you knew people at Aikido Academy."

Kagome laughed lightly and said, "I was at a wedding and his older brother was marrying my half-second cousin." Yuri nodded.

Yuri said, "Well we should catch up some more sometime. You really should call me. I miss talking to you and everyone. How are they?"

Kagome nodded and said, "Their good. Sango-chan still is single, and Ayumi-chan is still dating Myougi-kun, and Eri-chan is still being Eri-chan." They both laughed at this. Yuri said, "Figure's Sango-chan would still be single, she's the most stubborn person I know, next to you of course. But your stubborn in your own way." Kagome giggled. "I know for a fact that Eri-chan will find Mr. right in college." Kagome nodded at that.

"Yeah we should all definitely get together. Just us girls." Kagome smiled.

"So Inuyasha-kun, are you planning on taking that summer course in August for chemistry?" Hojo asked. Before Inuyasha could answer both tables waiters came to them and asked for their order.

Inuyasha said, "We'll continue this." Directing his order to their waiter he said, "We'll have the ahai speared tuna sushi. With a salad on the side." The waiter nodded and left.

As Hojo and Kagome's waiter asked for their order Hojo said, "What do you want Kagome-chan?"

Kagome smiled and said, "I've never been here, I'll have what you get I guess."

Hojo nodded and said, "We'll have the same as Inuyasha-kun I guess."

Inuyasha nodded and said, "It's good believe me. So about the chemistry course, I was thinking on it but, I think I just want to relax a bit this summer. It's not like I am going to become a scientist anyways. I have my family company to take over with my brother remember?"

Hojo nodded and said, "Yeah, I think I'm going to do it because it might be beneficial for college." Inuyasha nodded. After their food came Inuyasha and Yuri ate separately from Hojo and Kagome to give both dates privacy. Kagome couldn't stop staring at Inuyasha. She knew she had seen him before but she just couldn't put her finger on it. He seemed so familiar. Hojo was talking about school and things he was interested in and Kagome gave, "mhm's and yeahs" when they were necessary. She would look over at their table from time to time and look at Yuri. It was so good to see her too Kagome thought.

~A Young Youkai~

As Inuyasha ate with Yuri he would look occasionally over at Hojo and Kagome. There was something familiar about her. He already knew Hojo, but he wondered how he knew Kagome. Yuri would occasionally ask if he was alright, but Inuyasha didn't even know. Yuri asked, "We should go on a double date with them. What do you think Inuyasha?" Inuyasha nodded his head. If that's what Yuri wanted, that's what she will get. After both couples checks came and Inuyasha paid through credit he said to Hojo, "Well it was nice seeing you . We should hang out sometime."

Hojo nodded and said, "Yeah definitely. Yuri-chan it was nice to see you again too." Yuri nodded at Hojo.

Inuyasha watched Yuri with careful eyes, as she was talking feverishly with Kagome about some girl stuff. Inuyasha realized how much Yuri seemed to get along with Kagome. In fact, if he didn't know any better he'd assume they were like sisters. They looked so close. Inuyasha knew it'd make Yuri happy if he got to know her friends better and she'd be even happier if she hung out with her old ones too.

"Babe, are you ready?" Inuyasha asked carefully.

Yuri looked up and said, "Oh, right sorry." Yuri turned her attention back to Kagome who stood up with her too. "Well Kags-chan it was SO GREAT to finally see you again. Here's my cell phone number call me and you and I can hang out more!" Kagome nodded and smiled back.

"I will don't worry. Here's mine too. Call me sometime too and we'll hang out. Inuyasha-kun it was nice meeting you too." Inuyasha nodded at her, as Yuri hugged Kagome tightly.

Inuyasha placed his coat over Yuri and said, "Bye." As they left the restaurant, Inuyasha knew he was going to be calling Hojo more to get them to double date and make Yuri even more happier. Whatever is good for Yuri is good for him too, he thought.

A/N: Well how about that everyone? Yuri and Inuyasha. Bet you didn't see that one coming huh? Where is Kikyo? She'll be around sometime later don't worry. Hojo is such a geek huh? Don't worry things will happen, sometime. haha. In the next chapter, it's going to be intresting because I decided it would be best if I just wrote the typical summer Saturday to show the readers how they are for better depth and understanding in personality.
