Chapter three: An Undercook Burger and an Awkward Proposal

"Well it's 1:30." Inuyasha sighed shaking his head as he lowered the volume on his radio. Kagome leaned against the window quiet again. Inuyasha gripped the steering wheel tightly again, his frustration growing.

"Really? Wow?" Kagome said. She had grown bored of their side conversations after a few minutes of being in the car, she looked down at her phone nervously. Neither Sango nor Miroko had texted her or even called her. That meant one of two things. One either Miroko and Sango were hard at work packing all of Kagomes stuff into boxes, or two they were having sex somewhere in her house. And she knew they both hated work.

With that assumption she cringed her face trying to push the image out her head before slamming her phone shut. 'Not gonna think about that aweful sight.'

"What?" Inuyasha asked a spring of worry swiftly crossing his expression.

"What?" Kagome looked at him, slightly confused.

"You made a face." She scrunched her nose wondering what he was talking about. "There! That face! Only a little more annoyed looking!" He exclaimed.

She flushed suddenly "Oh..it's nothing.." When she saw his expression she knew he wasn't gonna let this go. "I'm just thinking of ways to kill my friends. Without getting caught. I was thinking maybe a hacksaw, or a pistol. Then burrying them in the junk yark. Whatta ya think?"

Inuyasha gave a sarcastic gulp "Oh...shit" he said sarcastically before giving a sly snicker.

Kagome shot him a glare before smiling herself, she gave a small laugh leaning back into her chair. She hated laughing, because it reminded her of the last time she laughed before the divorce. She wished her mind would stop being so negative, but she couldn't stop it.

Inuyasha noticed her quick mood change and felt sorrow sweep over him. 'man' he thought 'she's really not happy.'

He looked back at the road, biting his tongue for a moment before making up his mind "ya know" he paused "there is this place...by the agency I know that...has some good food? If you want to...get some lunch?"

She looked at him "are you asking me out onto a date?"

He flinched innocently "Keh. No! Wench, I just wanted to know if you wanted to grab some lunch is all!"

Kagome glared for a moment 'did he just call me a wench?'..."Well you don't have to be such a jerk about it! I was only asking a question!"

"Me? You jumped right to a date! We know each other five hours and you already want to go on a date with me, well what can I say, I am fucking sexy."

Kagome blinked then shifted her whole body facing him "Wow that is some ego you got there!"

"Ego? Oh baby you wish this was just my ego!" He yelled speeding the car up a bit.

"Well I'm sorry if I don't agree with your 'fucking sexy' ego! And I'm not the one who asked me out on a date!" She shot at him.

"Well excuse me for trying to cheer you up by taking you out to lunch!" He shot back.

Kagome stiffened shifting her gaze away from the angered Inuyasha slumping back into her chair. Why had she acted like that? He was just being nice...

"Sorry.." she mumbled.

He let out a defeated sigh "Look just forget about it okay" He turned back to the road "So do you want to get lunch or no?"

She smiled and nodded.

Inuyasha grinned as he looked at Kagome, when he turned back to look at the road he noticed something extremely weird about himself.

Holy shit, he was blushing.


"Hello Welcome to AKA Burger Joint how may I help you?" The cashier asked her voice the least bit energetic. She obviously hates her job.

"Yeah i'll have a large fry, two double bacon stacked burgers with extra cheese, a chocolate crunch shake, and a large coke." Inuyasha said his mouth starting to water already.

The cashier glanced at Kagome who jumped right in front of Inuyasha "Large fry and a double stack burger please?" She smiled.

Inuyasha raised his eyes brows surprised at the enthusiasm and the order the girl had, she couldn't of weighed more than 120 pounds and yet she ate so much.

Just as Kagome was about to turn around she shot right back "Oh wait! And a large coke too!" The cashier sighed and punched in the numbers.

"Together or separate?" She asked.

Just as Kagome was about to say separate, Inuyasha chimed in and said together handing the woman 2 twenties, clearly more money the order was, Kagome was surprised when the cashier tried to give the change but Inuyasha refused.

He grabbed his tray of food with one hand and Kagomes with another, she watched him her curiosity growing bigger. Even if he was really strong, trying to make the food stay perfectly balanced wasn't easy, and he never lost balance with it for even a second!

Okay, so maybe it could just be a talent, and it probably wasn't uncommon, but something just didn't seem right about him.

None the less Kagome sat down with him anyway without saying a word. He scarfed his food down with in seconds burgers and all then waited for Kagome to do the same. She ate slower than he did but not too slow, she did enjoy a good burger when she could.

He eyed her as she ate trying to finish his chocolate shake quicker. 'Damn why must ice cream be so thick?'

She swallowed then met his gaze "What?"

"Keh. Nothing, I was just thinking that's all." He said.

"Okay. Don't have to have an attitude." She responded colder than she expected to sound.

He winced a bit at her words before taking a deep breathe "Your right."

She stopped and looked at him, he definitely didn't seem like the type of guy to apologize, especially after their car incident..

"So..." Kagome mumbled putting her half eaten burger down.

"Wanna play twenty questions?" He asked, a grin spreading across his face.

"Twenty questions? Why?" She asked.

"It's fun. Here i'll start. What is your favorite color?"

"Blue, what is yours?"

"Red. Whats your lucky number?"

"7, whats your favorite animal?"

"Dog, whats your weirdest memory?"

'Haha! Dog person! Maybe I should get a dog now..wait why do I care if he likes dogs?' "Uh when I fell off the stage at my 5th grade graduation.. what's your favorite hobby?"

Playing video games. Have you ever had sex?"

"Wow! Personal much! Dont ya think?" She scolded.

"Well maybe I guess, just answer the question." Inuyasha said.

"Ugh pig" she muttered "Yes I have. I was married for two years Inuyasha!"

"Oh right, I forgot." He said laughing.

"Ugh I don't even want to play anymore." She said taking another bite out of her burger. Inuyasha just shrugged.

"Okay fine. But just one more question." He pleaded. She raised an eye brow but then nodded. "Do you think you'll ever get married again?"

She winced at the question her body shifting in her seat, her mind seemed to have disappeared at the question and now her emotions were flooding. She didn't quite know the answer herself. Would she ever be able to get married again after what Koga did? Would she ever be able to even move on date again? Could she really ever trust someone? Or share a bed with someone again wondering if they'll be there the next morning?

She looked at Inuyasha who was waiting for her to answer. She took a deep breathe and shook her head "I'm..I'm not sure Inuyasha, i'm just so...out of it right now..."

He nodded crossing his arms over his chest before leaning forward onto the table. "Kagome I have a proposal for you."

She gave him a weary look before leaning on the table looking straight into his eyes.

"and that would be..?" she asked curiosity twitching at her lips.

"How about every Saturday we come here." He said the corners of his lips lifting upwards.

"W-why?" She asked.

"Because, I have very few friends, mainly girls. Who eat like you do. And I would love an excuse to keep coming back here to stuff my face. Plus your not so bad." He finished with a shrug taking a big gulp from his coke.

Kagome thought for a moment, although it was just lunch it felt like she was committing to something. She didn't want to commit to anything every again. Or at least not for a long time. But then again it was only lunch right? Kagome looked at the man sitting across from her smiling, she didn't want to say no, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to say yes either. It wasn't until she realized an emotion she was feeling. Excitement. It was then that she found herself getting excited for Saturday. And then she knew.

"Sounds like a good proposal Inuyasha." And with that she laughed for the third time that day.

And this time, she didn't feel upset afterwards.


As Inuyasha led Kagome back to his car he almost felt sad that he had to drop her back off at home. She had been chatting away about how she might get a dog now, and that she was excited because she hasn't ever had one.

Then she talked about a cat she had named Buyo. He growled, he didn't like cats. At all.

But when she talked about him she had a warmth radiating off of her that made Inuyasha smile. Sure she was irrational and stubborn at times, but deep down she could really make him smile just by talking.

And all he could think was 'Fuck, I'm screwed.'

Now get real here, he is definitely not falling for her, right? Even he didn't know. There was no way, he personally only knew her for a few hours, and if anything he was only suppose to sell her an apartment and then get out of her life.

But then he just had to drop the friend bomb. Not that he was unhappy about it. He had convinced her to get the third apartment for a reason right?

Great view, great price, nice spaces, oh and one other thing.

It was two floors below Inuyasha apartment. Hmmm, had he forgotten to tell Kagome that? He only smiled at the thought.

As they climbed into the car Inuyasha turned to Kagome who was once again staring out the window "Kagome?"

"Mhmm..?"

"Have you made a decision on the apartment yet?" He asked starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.

"Well, yes and no."

He sighed. He knew she was gonna cave. Now he just had to wait and hear her out like a good real estate agent. Fuck.

"It's just...i'm not sure if i'm ready to move out yet. I mean...the third apartment was great and all but...i don't think im ready..." there was a hint of shame in her voice as her bottom lip began to tremble.

He sighed again "Kagome I.."

"No Inuyasha, please. I know what your gonna say. And frankly I don't want to hear it." She stated

Ouch. Now that hurt. He gripped the steering wheel again, now the lines of his fingers were starting to mark it. "Listen you little.." 'don't say anything stupid!' He sighed "Listen...you don't know me enough to decide you know what I am going to say. So don't act like a mind reader okay? All I was gonna say is I think you are right to take some time and I will put a hold out on that apartment for you so you can come back and accept the deal when your ready.."

Before he could finish Kagome through her arms around him hugging him close. "Thank you Inuyasha! That means so much to me!"

And then it happened again. For the second time that day Inuyasha blushed.
