Chapter 7
It's been about two weeks. Kagome's dad came back a few days after the meeting. He claims he's missed Kagome and his wife and that's why here returned. Inuyasha and Kagome got really good at hiding the fact that they were going out but, the clicking noise from a camera became more common. They tried the guilt trip on their parents but it hadn't worked at all.
"Kagome, your the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You are the most finest rose I have ever laid my eyes on. Kagome I really like you." Inuyasha whispered as they laid on the soft grass underneath the tree. Kagome could feel his lips brush against hers. Kagome giggled as Inuyasha continued, "I really like your giggle, it's so cute. Just like you. Honey I'm crazy about you." He laughed.
Kagome kissed him. He pulled her over him and there wasn't a part of either of their bodies not touching. They kissed so passionately only a complete idiot would septate them. Then as always just when it was getting good.

The person took three picture. Inuyasha and Kagome parted once again and looked around.
"That's it I'm tired of this. Maybe we should just tell everyone?" Kagome suggested, annoyed by the photographer. Inuyasha sighed.
"I wish we could but you know what would happen." Inuyasha replied twirling a single strand of Kagome's hair. Inuyasha knew exactly what to say, what to do, to get Kagome out of her angry mood. Kagome also knew how to make Inuyasha feel better when he's angry, too.
"But, this has been going on for weeks. I don't know how much longer I can take that horrible clicking sound ruining every romantic moment we have." Kagome explained.
"That's true, but at least this person didn't give it to the news or worst our dads." Inuyasha smiled looking at the bright side. He pulled her chin up to his and kissed her passionately one last time.

Kagome and Inuyasha quickly separated. "Oh come on!" Inuyasha yelled loudly. He was pissed every great moment had to be ruined with that stupid camera.
"Calm down look at the bright side, it's not on the new or in our father's hands." Kagome smiled imitating Inuyasha's earlier words.
"Now, I get what you're saying. We have to stop this guy." Inuyasha whispered.
"Yeah I know but how?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha shrugged. "Well I have to go. See you later." Kagome winked then kissed him one last time and left. Inuyasha still sat on the bright green grass.

"Come on she's not even here!" Inuyasha yelled then stopped off out of the forest to go home.
With Kagome: Kagome walked into her house expecting to see her mother yelling at her father for leaving last week. Silence. That's strange it would be the first time this week. Kagome quietly stalked to her room when she heard her father on the phone.
"You got them? Great. ...No, stay with him. What, oh never mind, if he left your free to go....She couldn't have left five minutes ago, she would have been home by then....When can I get the photos?...No I can't my wife is taking me dancing that day...no I can't send her she'll see them....Okay yes that's doable. Alright good bye." Her father hanged up then walked out of the kitchen.
My father? He's the one? Kagome wondered as she hurried to her room and shut the door. She was too scared to call Inuyasha to warn him. She thought if she told him he would be mad at her and her father. No, she'll just have to risk it.
The fallowing day Kagome suggested she and Inuyasha didn't meet in the morning or after school. Inuyasha, not sure why, agreed anyway. He looked at Kagome with a certain longing. When Kagome got home her father was waiting for here at the table.
"Kagome what are these?" Her father asked showing her the millions of pictures of her and Inuyasha holding hands, kissing, being together, and hugging. Kagome gasped. She was right.
"It was you." Kagome muttered.
"Kagome, he's my enemy's son!" Her father yelled.
"Yeah well I don't care!" Kagome yelled taking the photos. She knew where this was going and wanted to keep them as a memory of what was hers.
"You can't see him." Her father replied suddenly calm.
"NO! You can't make me. I love you daddy! I really really really love him!" Kagome pleaded tears gathering her her eyes.
"NO! No no no no! You can't love him!"Her father yelled over and over again.
"I can I will!" Kagome yelled.
"Kagome, you can't be with him. His father is my rival in the business. I forbid you from seeing him again. Now go and tell him! Or I'm kicking you out of this house!" Kagome's father yelled pointing to the huge entrance door. Kagome bit her lip not letting the tears fall down actually considering the other option.
"Okay...I'll go...tell him." She said hoarsely stuffing the pictures in her pocket. She couldn't run away she had no where to go. She ran out the maple door and ran to the big tree in her yard then stood under it and pulled out her phone. She whimpered as she dialed Inuyasha's number.
"Hey Kagome what's up?" He asked answering the phone. She let out a quiet sob.
She took a deep breath before answering, "I can I talk to you...in person?"
"Yeah, sure...where?" Inuyasha asked suddenly worried about how Kagome was acting.
"Um...the tree I guess." She answered whipping away her tears that were silently falling down her face.
"Okay I'll meet you there." He replied then hang up the phone. Kagome quickly walked to the tree next to her house. The tree that she has been meeting Inuyasha for the last month beside school.
When she got there Inuyasha was already sitting on one of the branches on the biggest tree there,their tree. He jumped down when he saw Kagome and ran to her. "What's wrong? Why were you crying?" Inuyasha asked gently wiping the tears away.
"Inuyasha, my father told me I can't be with you." Kagome answered quietly.
"And you're going to listen to him?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome shook her head. "I have to, he threatened me that if I don't I can't go home. I have no where else to go. I'm sorry." Kagome cried clutching to him crying harder.
"Then...come stay with me." Inuyasha suggested. Kagome looked at him shocked.
"What? Are you crazy?" Kagome asked letting him go.
"Come on, my father's gone fore the week, and my brother went back to college, again. It's just me and my mom. And if she caught you she wouldn't be mad, she loves you. Kagome I love you. I don't want to lose you." Inuyasha explained.
"I love you too and I guess it can work for now. Okay I'll go." Kagome smiled. Inuyasha smiled then kissed her and lead her to his house. Kagome was tired so went straight to Inuyasha's bed for a nap.
She told Inuyasha to lay with her only because she was scared of being alone, but Inuyasha had other things in mind. He soon fell asleep as well. Kagome had her arm around his waist while her head was on his chest. Inuyasha was leaning on the head board, his arm around Kagome's shoulders.
This would have been great if Inuyasha's mom didn't walk in. "Inuyasha!" She yelled Inuyasha shot up waking up Kagome. They both, shocked, looked at Inuyasha's mom.
"Mom, I can explain." Inuyasha said.
"Well then explain." She ordered.
"Kagome got kicked out for being with me." Inuyasha explained.
"Oh dear. And your mother was okay with this?" She asked Kagome.
"She wasn't home." Kagome answered.
"Well I'm going to tell her. You are welcomed to stay here as long as you like." His mother smiled then walked away. Inuyasha was surprised of his mother's reaction. If it was another girl would she do the same thing or would she pull her out of his room?
Kagome and Inuyasha listened to the phone call.
"Kagome's here." Mrs. Takahahi started then continued, "Yes, you can come over... She was kicked out.... You should....Yes she can stay here until then...Alright bye."
"Mom, what's going on?" Inuyasha asked as his mother walked back into the room.
"Kagome's mother is on her way home from work and she getting ready to yell at your father." She answered.
"Is she coming to pick me up?" Kagome asked.
"No, she thinks you should stay here for awhile." Mrs. Takahahi smiled.
"Okay." Kagome replied, then asked, "Can you tell me what happened to our families?"
"Well that's a long story but, yes I can tell you." She answered, Inuyasha and Kagome waited.
"Before you two were born your fathers were best friends, me and your mother Kagome too. Once we got married and had you, you guys would play together all the time.-"
"We would?!?" Kagome and Inuyasha asked at the same time, shocked and surprised.
"Yes all the time, but you shouldn't remember because you were only a few months old. Anyway you guys use to have sleepovers and play dates and all of that while your fathers opened their businesses. They promised they would stay friends after all of this. But their businesses got too big and they became rivals.
"They tried to stay friends but they thought the other was spying on the other. So, we moved to Osaka. But we had to move back because we missed Tokyo. Your fathers thought it would be best if you to never meet again so we kept you in different schools but we didn't know you when to that high school, Kagome." Inuyasha's mother smiled.
"Wow," Was all Kagome could say.
"Yeah," Inuyasha agreed.
"Well you had a long day. Get some rest." She smiled then walked out of the room closing the door.
"I can't believe it." Kagome sighed.
"We use to know each other." Inuyasha sighed, as well.
"Well this shouldn't change anything." Kagome said.
"It doesn't, I'm just mad I don't remember any of it." Inuyasha mumbled.
"What? Why?" Kagome asked smiling.
"You probably took off you shirt in front of me." Inuyasha laughed, joking.
"I bet I didn't." Kagome smiled.
"Come on, I bet you did." Inuyasha laughed.
"I didn't." Kagome said punching him.
"You did." Inuyasha smiled.
"I didn't." Kagome blushed pushing him down.
"You look so cute when you blush but, you did." Inuyasha smiled getting close to her.
"Thank you and, I know I didn't." Kagome whispered loosing the fake anger she thought she had.
"How?" Inuyasha asked getting closer to her.
"'Cause...um...I..." Kagome shuddered thinking of how she knew then, Inuyasha kissed her. Their small fight ended right there. Inuyasha pulled her down to him where he was under her. Kagome was still kissing him. He moved over her so she was underneath him.
"Inuyasha, I want to go to the dance on Friday." Kagome stated.
"Okay I'll take you." Inuyasha replied kissing her.
"Okay, I also want to tell everyone." Kagome said shyly. Inuyasha stopped kissing her. He gave her the "What?" look as she continued. "There's no point in hiding it if our parents already know. Plus I don't want to lie anymore."
"Okay but how about we give it a little twist. We go to the dance, since it's a masquerade dance and everyone will be looking for you since you are my "mysterious" girlfriend and then on Monday we tell everyone." Inuyasha suggested. Kagome truly loved the idea.
"Okay that works." Kagome nodded. Inuyasha kissed her again and they started to make out. They heard the door bell ring but didn't move toward the door. Inuyasha's mother answered the door then a minute later Kagome's and Inuyasha's mothers walk into the room.
They broke apart as quickly as possible. "Wow, were you guys just playing tongue hockey?" Kagome's mother asked. Kagome and Inuyasha blushed. "Anyway, Kagome I'm so sorry about your father. He can be such an idiot sometimes. Don't worry I yelled at him for what he did yet he can't see what you mean. I think you should stay here awhile. Let him blow off some of his steam." She continued.
"That's okay I guess." Kagome sighed.
"Do you want me to get you anything?" She asked.
"How long will I be staying here?" Kagome asked.
"At least till Friday. I brought you some clothes and stuff but I don't know if you want anything special, like that pretty dress in the back of your closet." Her mother answered. Kagome blushed as her mother enfized on the dress.
"Yeah, I need that dress along with the mask on my night stand." Kagome answered.
"Okay sure thing sweetheart. Oh and I don't mind you to sleeping together as long as you don't lose your virginity tonight okay." She smiled. Kagome blushed, Inuyasha did too.
"Mom!" Kagome yelled.
"Don't worry we aren't going that far." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Okay just be responsible." She smiled.
"What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha and Kagome both asked.
"If you do, do that then be responsible and use a condom." Inuyasha's mother answered.
"Ew!" Kagome squealed.
"Okay." Inuyasha muttered.
"Alright I should go. Bye sweetie." Kagome's mother said kissing the top of Kagome's head. Kagome nodded. Then Kagome's mother whispered to Inuyasha, "Take care of her." Inuyasha nodded.
"Good night." Both mothers said then left.
"Well that was embarrassing." Kagome mumbled.
"Yeah," Inuyasha sighed.
"So, um...what now?" Kagome asked.
"I would kiss you but I'm scared now." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Awe, really? I wanted to make out." Kagome pretended to pout.
"Well maybe I could." Inuyasha smiled then kissed her.
"I know you can." Kagome giggled. "But can we eat first? I'm starving." Kagome asked.
"Sure, let's go out to eat."
"What happens if someone sees us?"
"Uh...we don't have to do anything." Inuyasha answered.
"Okay, or we can say we were forced to eat together." Kagome smiled.
"That works too. Do you want to walk or do you want to go in my mom's car?" Inuyasha asked.
"Let's walk." Kagome answered.
"Okay, let's go." Inuyasha said getting off the bed.
"Wait can I barrow one of your caps?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded and gave her his blue cap. Kagome placed it on her head and she put on her sunglasses. "Okay now we can go." Kagome smiled as they walked out of the house and on their way to Bugerking down the street.
Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome's shoulders as they walked. Kagome smiled being able to walk with her boyfriend.
"So, um...what do you want to talk about?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't know...what did you do in Osaka?" Kagome asked.
"Nothing really." Inuyasha answered.
"Any ex girlfriends?" Kagome asked casually as if it were nothing.
"Um...yeah one ex girlfriend. She dumped me for some other guy." Inuyasha's arm tensed talking about his ex girlfriend.
"Awe, I'm so sorry. What happened?" Kagome asked hugging her boyfriend.
"Um...I didn't really like her from the start I just felt bad for her and said yes when she asked me. She told me she was trying to get this guy to notice her and I didn't really care. How about you? Who are your ex boyfriends?" Inuyasha answered.
"Um...just one, Hojo. He was nice but after like a month he wanted to kiss me but I didn't want to kiss him and he dumped me." Kagome answered.
"Why didn't you want to kiss him?" Inuyasha asked.
"You'll think this is stupid." Kagome blushed looking down at the floor.
"Just tell me."
"Okay, um...you know how people save them selves for someone. Well I was like thirteen and I believed you can only love one person, your true love, or whatever. So I didn't want to kiss anyone I know I don't love. I told you it was stupid." Kagome answered turning more red then before. Inuyasha stopped and looked at her.
"No, it's not. It's sweet, plus I kinda did the same thing." Inuyasha replied holding onto her hands.
"You did?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, truly you were my first kiss." Inuyasha smiled, blush crawling onto his cheeks.
"You were my first too." Kagome said as they started to walk again, then she stopped and asked, "Wait, if you never kissed anyone how did you know that spontaneous kisses are better then planed ones?"
"Um...actually I took a guess on that just to buy me some time. I was really nervous." Inuyasha answered.
"Oh, well you sure aren't nervous anymore." Kagome smiled, then Inuyasha kissed her.
"Nope, not at all." Inuyasha smiled. Kagome giggled. "I love your giggle." Inuyasha smiled.
"Thanks." Kagome giggled again. Inuyasha was about to kiss her again when...
"INUYAHSA!" Miroku yelled running down the pathway. Inuyasha sighed as Kagome turned to Miroku and ducked behind Inuyasha pulling Inuyasha's blue cap down and her dark glasses closer to her eyes.
"Hey, Miroku." Inuyasha pretended to smile.
"Hey, is this your mysterious girlfriend?" Miroku asked looking at Kagome.
"Um yeah." Inuyasha answered.
"So am I going to meet her?" Miroku asked.
"Um...no not now." Inuyasha answered.
"Why not?" Miroku asked upset.
"'Cause she's nervous. See she's really shy and well...she doesn't want anyone to know she's going out with me, yet." He covered. Kagome still hid behind Inuyasha hoping Miroku doesn't recognize her.
"Oh, that makes sense, I think. Well I'm Miroku by the way." Miroku flashed a smile at Kagome.
"Um...hi." Kagome answered quietly.
Miroku whispered to Inuyasha, "Yeah she is shy."
"Told you." Inuyasha whispered back. Kagome just stood there.
"Well I have to go, I'm meeting some one. It was nice meeting you." Miroku said then ran into the trees.
"I hope he doesn't get lost." Inuyasha laughed.
"I heard that!" Miroku yelled then disappeared into the bushes.
"Yeah, it would be a bummer if he never finds out who I am." Kagome smiled.
They walked to Burgerking and had chicken fries then walked back home.
"Um...Inuyasha I should probably tell you this." Kagome whispered later that night to Inuyasha. They were alone in the dark room. Her voice was small in the completely dark room, Inuyasha's room.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked, sleepy. They were sleeping in the same bed, which was kind of small for the both of them. He was almost asleep when he heard Kagome. He suddenly remembered a night he never remembered before.
"I'm still scared of the dark." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha sat up, but to Kagome all she was was a shadow rising next to her. Kagome scooted back just a little bit and slightly whimpered.
"Kagome it's okay it's just me." Inuyasha said, his voice calm and sweet. Kagome reached for him then hugged him. "It's okay. Everyone still has fears. Why are you scared?" He asked her.
"Because, it's scary. You can't see anything. You can't see if someone is about to kill you, or worst." Kagome answered.
"What's worst then death?" Inuyasha questioned, trying to forget the subject of the dark so Kagome would forget she was in complete darkness.
"Rape, 'cause you can't escape the pain of being robbed of your virginity." Kagome answered.
"Oh, that makes sense. Um... what's your favorite flower and why?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome giggled.
"It this like a test or something? Um rose, 'cause they are like so pretty and, you know the red ones mean love. That's so sweet." Kagome answered.
"Cool, what's your favorite chocolate?" He asked.
"Milk chocolate, I guess." Kagome smiled.
"Me too, uh...what's your..." Inuyasha stopped to think as he heard Kagome's breathing slow. Had she fallen asleep?
"Inuyasha, I-I loveyou." Kagome mumbled sleeping, it all slurred. Inuyasha's ears perked up when her heard her say love you. He bent down and kissed the top of her head and whispered, "Love you too honey." Kagome stirred only to end up closer to Inuyasha then she already was.
Inuyasha laid down still holding Kagome to his chest. He soon fell asleep.
That's how most nights went for then next few days. Inuyasha would get Kagome to forget that she was in the dark then she would fall asleep, mumble her I love you to Inuyasha, he would return it and then he'd fall asleep.
It was all good for once, the world (at least their world) was at peace. Now, all they have to do is survive Friday then Monday. Great best friends defenitly won't get mad about you not telling them about your secret relationship.
