DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.
THE DATE, CHAPTER 7
When InuYasha awoke, he got up, stretched, and looked around his room, rubbing his eyes. He glanced over at his alarm clock, it was nearly 12pm.
"Shit!" he shouted.
"I need to get ready.. fast." He said with hesitation in his voice.
InuYasha knew that, because he didn't plan the day out, he was gunna have to wing the date. He got up, grabbed his best outfit which consisted of a plain white T-shirt, blue jeans, a leather belt, and his dog tag necklace. They were his father's when he was in the army, when his father died, he passed the dog tags on to InuYasha. InuYasha got in the shower to start his day. He was in such a rush that he almost forgot what he was doing in the middle of his shower.
Kagome awoke around 8am. She grabbed her best outfit which was a blue skirt, white long sleeve top and her favorite pair of shoes. She then took a shower, she wasn't in as much of a rush as InuYasha. When she got done in the shower, she got dressed and went down stairs to see her mom watching the news. It was going to be a perfect evening.
"Hi mom." Kagome said, smiling.
"Hi Dear." Aki said, smiling back at her.
"My, my. Kagome you look nice today. Something special?" Aki asked.
"Yeah. I have a date later with InuYasha today." Kagome said, smiling and blushing a little shade of red.
"Oh. Well it's going to be a perfect afternoon, dear" Aki said, smiling.
"That's great!" Kagome shouted.
Aki laughed at how happy Kagome was.
"Kagome, I haven't seen you this happy since you left Koga." She said, still laughing.
"Yeah, I hope this turns out to be a great decision." Kagome stated.
"Don't worry hon. I already like InuYasha more then I liked Koga." She reassured Kagome, smiling.
"Yeah, InuYasha is a special guy." Kagome said, blushing some more.
"So, where is he taking you?" Aki asked.
"I have no clue." Kagome said, scratching her head.
"I'm sure he has something planned." Kagome said, shrugging.
"I have nothing planned!" InuYasha yelled.
"I'm so unorganized.." he said, sighing as his ears drooped down atop his head.
Just then, he got a call from Miroku.
"Miroku, I'm kind of busy right now." InuYasha said.
"Okay but, there is a fair on the outskirts of the next town down that me and Sango found after we went to the movies. I was wondering if you and Kagome would want to go with us to check it out." Miroku stated.
"Miroku, you're a fucking life saver.. I love you man." InuYasha said, sighing a sigh of relief.
"Uhh.. Am I missing something, InuYasha?" Miroku said, a little startled.
"Long story. I'll tell you later. Right now I need to get more ready!" he shouted, more confident about the day.
"Ready for what, InuYasha?" Miroku asked, curiously.
"Let's go over that later." InuYasha said, hanging up the phone.
"Well that was strange, indeed.." Miroku said, setting his phone down and walking away, now confused more than ever before.
InuYasha heard a knock on his door, he smelt Lavender and Vanilla.
"Come in, Kagome." He called out.
"How'd you know it was me, InuYasha?" she asked.
"I know your scent." He said smiling.
"Oh, so what do we have planned today?" she asked him.
"Well… Miroku just called me. He said something about a fair." InuYasha said, putting his shoes on.
"I love the fair!" Kagome shouted.
"Perfect." InuYasha grinned.
"So, does that mean Miroku will be there too?" Kagome asked, looking at InuYasha.
"Probably." InuYasha said, knowing he will be.
"Well at the off chance of us running into him, I'll call Sango and see if she wants to go as well." Kagome said, nodding.
"Okay, why don't I just pick them up as we leave then?" InuYasha stated.
"We still have to see if Sango is free, first, InuYasha." She said, laughing at his impatience.
"Pick up, Sango.." Kagome said as the phone was ringing.
"Hey Kagome!" Sango said as she answered the phone.
"Hey Sango! Would you like to come to the fair with me, Miroku and InuYasha today? I've got something I need to tell you anyway." Kagome said, walking out of InuYasha's room.
"Yeah! Me and Miroku were gunna go check that out today anyway. Do you need a ride?" Sango asked.
"No, me and InuYasha will pick you two up when we leave." Kagome said.
"Oh? He drives?" Sango asked.
"I was just as surprised." Kagome said, laughing.
"Hey! I heard that!" Kagome heard come from down the hall. It was InuYasha.
"Quit eavesdropping!" Kagome shouted back at InuYasha.
"I couldn't help it! My hearing is too good!" InuYasha shouted, laughing.
"Well, anyway. What time sounds good to go?" Sango asked.
"About 4!" InuYasha shouted.
"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted back.
"Sorry!" InuYasha shouted, now laughing harder.
"So 4 it is. Okay, I'll see you two then Kagome." Sango said.
"Okay Sango, Bye!" Kagome said.
"Bye, Kagome and… InuYasha." She said.
"Bye, Sango!" InuYasha called from the room.
Kagome smirked and went back into InuYasha's room.
"So what should we do until 4 InuYasha?" Kagome asked.
"I dunno…" InuYasha said, plopping on his bed with a sigh.
Kagome smiled at him and went over to sit next to him. She then reached up and started rubbing his ears. She still couldn't get over how soft they were. She herd InuYasha let out a small, content growl. She knew he loved when she did this.
"Y'know, Kagome, you are the only person I let do this." InuYasha said, grinning at Kagome.
"Why's that InuYasha?" Kagome asked, smiling back.
"I don't really know. To be honest. I guess it's cause I trust you. I normally wouldn't show this weakness to just anyone but, I know you're not gunna hurt me so.." InuYasha stated, growling again, contently.
Kagome just smiled and cuddled up to him and laid in his arms. It was nearly 4. They got up and texted both of their friends telling them that they were no on their way. They headed out the door and got into Sesshomaru's car and took off down the driveway and to Sango's house. Sango got in the back seat of the car.
"You're not going to kill us are you InuYasha?" she asked, giggling
"Oh, Ha-Ha, Sango." InuYasha said, looking over at Kagome to find her laughing silently.
InuYasha arrived at Miroku's house with the help of Sango's directions. Miroku got in the back seat behind InuYasha.
"Hello, Sango, Kagome, and what took you so long InuYasha?' Miroku said, laughing.
"What the hell is this? Make fun of InuYasha, day!?" InuYasha shouted.
Everyone burst out laughing. Miroku led them to the site of the fair. They arrived and found a parking space and piled out of the car.
"Well, here we are." InuYasha said.
"What are you two waiting for!?" Sango and Miroku called, now way in front of Kagome and InuYasha.
"Hey, wait up!" Kagome called to her two friends.
When they got in, Miroku and Sango instantly broke off from the group, giving Kagome and InuYasha alone time. Kagome looked at InuYasha and smiled. InuYasha looked back and smiled just as much. They made their way around the park and played games and rode rides. InuYasha and Kagome had went to eat dinner around 7:30.
"So Kagome?" InuYasha asked.
"Yes InuYasha?" Kagome answered.
"Are you having a good time?" InuYasha asked, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I'm having a great time." She said, smiling at InuYasha.
"So…" InuYasha said, trying to find something to say.
"Hey, InuYasha?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah?" InuYasha responded.
"Why did you start to like me anyway?" Kagome asked, trying to make him blush.
"Well, you're sweet and all. You didn't instantly shut me out seeing as I am a half demon. And you're beautiful" he said, making Kagome blush.
"InuYasha, that's so sweet!" she exclaimed. She was fighting tears of joy that were trying to escape her eyes.
"Why do you like me, Kagome?" InuYasha asked.
"Well.." Kagome started but was interrupted by a text.
"Damn that lecher!" Kagome yelled.
"What did Miroku do now?" InuYasha sighed.
"What else?" Kagome said.
"Sango wants us to meet her at the Farris Wheel." Kagome said.
"Come on, let's go then." InuYasha said, grabbing Kagome's hand and walking in the direction of the Farris Wheel.
They met up at the Farris Wheel at around 9pm.
"Sango. Where's Miroku? He usually runs after you when he messes up." Kagome said, looking around for him.
"He grabbed my butt so I smacked him hard enough to make him fall to the ground and then I ran away." Sango stated.
"He will never learn, will he?" InuYasha asked, sighing.
"Nope…" Kagome said, shaking her head.
"Well when Miroku gets here, I guess we can make this our last ride of the night." InuYasha said, looking up at the giant wheel.
"Yeah." Sango and Kagome agreed.
They waited for Miroku to arrive at the Farris Wheel then piled into one cart. Miroku sat across from Sango who was still steamed at him. InuYasha sat next to Kagome.
"Sango, I said I was sorry! Please forgive me?" he said, trying to pout.
"No more, Miroku!" Sango shouted.
"I promise." Miroku said, holding his hand over his heart and bowing.
"Damn lecher…" InuYasha said, smacking Miroku in the back of the head.
Kagome and Sango both laughed. Miroku moved over by Sango and rested his arm around her shoulders. InuYasha pulled Kagome close to him so they were practically cuddling. Miroku and Sango looked at them, wide eyed. Sango then shot Kagome a look that said 'Girl, you better tell me everything.' Kagome nodded at the look then looked at InuYasha. She felt something as she looked at him. It was something that ignited her heart. She loved the feeling.
"What a fine night." Miroku said, looking at Sango.
"I couldn't agree more, Miroku." Sango said, smiling at Miroku.
"Guys, we are nearing the top." InuYasha said, looking out the window.
They were now at the top of the Farris Wheel, Fireworks had just started. InuYasha hugged Kagome close to him.
"Hey, Kagome?" InuYasha asked, looking her in the eyes.
"Yes, InuYasha?" Kagome asked, looking back at him.
"Did you have a good time today?" InuYasha asked.
"It was perfect, InuYasha." Kagome said, smiling.
"I'm glad you had a good time, Kagome." InuYasha said, hugging her tightly.
Kagome hugged back and kissed him slightly on his cheek.
"I always have a good time when I'm with you." Kagome whispered in his ear.
InuYasha's heart skipped multiple beats.
"The fireworks are beautiful." Kagome said, quietly.
"Not at beautiful as you, Kagome." InuYasha said, stroking her cheek.
"You're so corny!" Kagome said, laughing.
"So! Is there something wrong with that?" InuYasha defended.
"Not at all, InuYasha. I like it. It shows that you care, and that's why I like you." Kagome said, Kissing InuYasha on the lips.
She, then, rested her head on his chest and fell asleep, feeling like nothing could ever harm her when she was in his arms.
"Hey, Sango?" Miroku asked.
"What is it, Miroku?" Sango asked, smiling at him.
"If I asked you to go out with me again, except, not as friends, would you consider?" Miroku asked, blushing.
"Of course, Miroku." Sango answered without hesitation.
"Great, how about tomorrow, we go out to dinner?" Miroku suggested.
"I'd love to." She said with a huge smile on her face.
"Great, I'll get you at 7:00, then." Miroku said.
"One condition.." Sango said, now serious.
"Anything." Miroku said, looking at her.
"You have to stop womanizing." Sango demanded.
"I will, Sango. I promise" Miroku said, kissing her hand.
"Thank you, Miroku." Sango said blushing.
The fireworks had ended and the Farris Wheel rounded them to the bottom, stopped and let them off the ride,
"Let me help you off, Sango." Miroku said, holding his hand out to Sango.
Sango and Miroku Piled off and InuYasha followed, Kagome in his arms, still asleep. The small Crowd around the Farris Wheel started 'Awing' the Hanyou and Kagome. InuYasha became red as he was noticed by more and more people.
They all got into the car and headed for home. InuYasha dropped Miroku off first then Sango. He pulled into his driveway and turned the car off and carried Kagome out. She was still asleep.
He brought her inside to see Aki sitting on the couch. She smiled at him and gave him a look that said 'Thank you for taking care of my daughter.' He nodded.
"Did you two lovebirds have fun today?" Aki asked.
"Yeah." InuYasha said, blushing.
"Good, I haven't seen her this happy in a long while, InuYasha. You're pretty special to her." She said, smiling at the both of them.
"I'm glad I met her, Aki." InuYasha said, looking at Kagome, smiling.
"Without her, Sango, or Miroku, I think I would be lost." He said, laughing a little.
"I'm a lucky guy, Aki." He said, looking back at Kagome's mother.
"No, you're not the lucky one. We are." Aki said, walking up to her daughter, who was sleeping still in InuYasha's arms.
"Aki?" InuYasha asked.
"What is it, InuYasha?" Aki responded.
"If it's alright with you, would I be able to take Kagome out on another date?" he asked her, blushing a deep red.
"Of course you can, InuYasha. You can take her out on as many dates as you want. Just keep her happy." Aki said, brushing Kagome's hair from her face.
"Thank you Aki. I'm gunna take her up to bed now, my arms are starting to get a little tired." InuYasha said, trying not to drop Kagome.
"Of course, InuYasha." Aki said, moving out of his way so he can bring her up to bed.
He brought her up stairs. He laid her down in her bed, took her shoes off, and covered her up and kissed her on her cheek.
"I'm so glad I have you in my life, Kagome." InuYasha whispered to her.
He then said good night and this time he didn't forget to set her alarm clock. He then stood up, turned out her lights and left the room. He went downstairs.
"Good night Aki." InuYasha called out.
"Good night hon." Aki said to InuYasha as he was walking out the door.
He got home, went up to his room, took a long relaxing shower. When he was done he jumped in his bed and thought about the day he just had.
"What's this feeling I have?" he asked himself.
"I like her a lot but this feeling is just, overwhelming.." he said, puzzled.
"Is it love?" He asked, rubbing his chin.
"I don't know.. But, today couldn't have been more perfect." He said, smacking his hands together.
"Thank you again, Miroku." InuYasha Whispered to himself.
"I totally owe you one." He said, falling into a deep sleep.9
He fell asleep happier then, he had ever been before.
Sango got to her room and sat on her bed, thinking about what just happened.
"Did Miroku just ask me to be his girlfriend?" She whispered, rubbing the back of her head.
"I'll have to find out tomorrow then." Sango said as she laid down in her bed and went to sleep.
"Me and Sango, finally together." Miroku said, blushing and laughing.
"I can't believe I gathered the courage to ask her right in front on InuYasha and Kagome, granted Kagome had fallen asleep, but still." He spoke aloud to himself.
"Well I have a lot of time to figure that out tomorrow." He said, laying down on his couch, turning on the T.V. Miroku was way to excited to sleep so he sat up watching T.V. till about 5am, then he fell asleep on the couch. He was to lazy to go to his room.
