Kagome closed the book and took a deep breath. If she sat here any longer she would not be able to do it, she would talk herself out of it. She bit her lip, she was scared to death, hurting. She didn't want to, but she did. He was far ahead of her, she was nothing but a human girl in the wake of his greatness.
"Kagome get real" She told herself, in her mind it was better to get it over with, he would leave her someday anyway right, he always talked about disliking Inuyasha for being a half-breed, but any kids they would have would be just that. He never really planned on getting married to her did he?
They had started dating in middle school, and now that she thought back, it seemed like he did it out of pity. She remembered, it was right before the last middle school dance. She had asked Inuyasha to be her date, it took everything she had to ask him, she had a crush on him for such a long time.
He denied her, he let her down easy, thought, had had already promised to go with Kikyo, her sister. She had cried somewhat as she walked home, that's when is fathers black car pulled up, he had rolled down the window and told her to get it. Sesshomaru didn't speak much, so she did as he told her.
She recalled sitting in silence, unsure why he had bothered to pick her up, then it dawned on her Inuyasha must had said something.
"Did Inuyasha tell you I asked him to the dance"
He didn't look at her "He did"
She got mad "So this is a pity ride, I was wondering why you would offer to take me home, you know I am a big girl"
He looked at her then "Very well, driver stop, the miko wishes to get out"
"I told you not to call me that" She snapped.
"You may resume your walk if you wish"
Was she missing something "Why did you pick me up Sesshomaru, what did Inuyasha say, did he put you up to this"
"My brother has no height over me" In other words Inuyasha could not put his brother up to anything.
"So..." He was going to giver her an answer, she was demanding it.
"I merely saw you walking in the direction I am taking"
Kagome shook her head and stepped out of the car "Thank you anyway Sesshomaru"
He didn't look at her "Your thanks is not needed"
She rolled her eyes "You're a jerk, has anyone ever told you that?"
"Am I, this means then I do not have to take you to the dance"
"Wait, what" Kagome placed her heads back on the car.
"You do wish to go, do yo. Not"
"Yes, but, do you wanna go?"
"Father demands I do, you are with a date, and I do not wish to go with anyone else"
"Ok, I'll do it"
"You do not care what others will think"
"Not really" She knew others saw her a sister to him, other would think it a pity thing, she knew everyone would hear of her asking inuyasha to the dance, KIkyo would be sure to let everyone know.
Kagome shook her head at the thoughts of the past as she placed her shoes on. Grabbing her keys she headed to his place of work, and as she drove more of their past flashed before her, their first date might have been in middle school but they didn't really start dating till high school.
