Chapter 7: In Public
"Not that one Kagome! Damn, you would think you would have something sexy in this closet of yours." Sango said as she threw another piece of clothing on Kagome's bed.
It was the night of her date with Inuyasha. Kagome had immediately called Sango after leaving the park and she squealed, demanding details. Luckily, Sango was on her side when she told her what Satoshi said to Inuyasha. After ten minutes of holding the phone away from her ear, Sango was finally calm and told Kagome that she would kick Miroku's ass for her. After telling her everything, Sango decided that it was her duty as a best friend to help Kagome pick out a sexy outfit.
Sango and Kagome had been picking outfits out for the last few hours.
"It's a good think I bought over some of my dresses for you," said Sango with a heavy sigh. She walked over to where Kagome was sitting and sat next to her. "Aren't you even a little bit excited?"
"Not really," replied Kagome with a shrug. Liar. She had jumped for joy when she was by herself. "I don't see why I need to make a big deal out of this. I'm sure that one date won't change my life forever. Besides, it's Inuyasha. He already made it clear that he wants to have sex with me."
Sango rolled her eyes. "I can see the excitement in your eyes Kagome. It's been a long time since you had gone on a date. A really, really, really, really, really-"
"I got it Sango," she said dryly.
"Let's not get into the fact that it's been a long time since you had sex. A really, really, really, really, really, really-"
"I got it SANGO!" Why was her best friend being so mean? It wasn't like she needed a reminder.
"Anyway," Sango continued with a grin as Kagome glared at her. "Inuyasha isn't that bad of a guy. He's smart enough to behave when it is convenient for him."
"Like tonight?" Kagome looked at her with a wary expression. Sango only laughed and reached for the bag she had bought over.
"I know just the dress for you. I only wore it once, but I know it will look good on you and please Inuyasha." She wiggled her eyebrows and grinned.
"Whatever you say bestie." Kagome stood and Sango placed the dress in front of her and looked her up a down.
"Perfect, now get naked."
"Wow Sango, if I knew you wanted me that badly, I would have stripped for you earlier." Sango snorted and Kagome chuckled as she removed the towel she had wrapped around her. She stood in her underwear and let Sango help her into the dress.
Zipping up the back, she stepped away from her friend and made her way to her mirror. The dress was gorgeous, a deep crimson color that flowed just above her knees. It showed off her curves perfectly. The top revealed just enough of her breast for her to look classy. It was gorgeous and made Kagome feel very sexy.
"You like?" asked Sango as she walked up to Kagome.
"I love." Kagome said as she continued to admire herself in the mirror.
"Good. Now, you finish getting ready and I will go to my godchildren."
"Thank you for watching them."
"It's not a problem. I haven't spent a lot of time with them lately."
Sango walked out and Kagome went back to admiring herself in the mirror. Her best friend was a lifesaver. There was no way Kagome going to company Inuyasha in anything but the best. Glancing at the clock on her night stand, she grinned. It was almost time for Inuyasha to arrive. She had to finish getting ready.
Inuyasha sat in his car outside of Kagome's apartment. He never thought she would agree to go out with him so quickly. He thought she would make him beg, but no. A sigh escaped his lips. I'm so fucking nervous. He leaned his head against the steering wheel and groaned. Although he was ecstatic about the date, possibilities of what could go wrong kept floating into his mind.
It never bothered him before if a date took a turn for the worst. Kagome seemed to bring out feelings in Inuyasha he never experienced before. He wasn't upset about. It was one of the many reasons he wanted her. She made him feel things he never thought were possible.
Her acceptance of the date made him plan everything out carefully. He even had several backup plans just encase. Of course, being on his best behavior was needed if he wanted to get a second date with her. Although he told Kagome that they needed to take things one step at a time, he wanted to just get her naked and fuck her until the sun came up.
Okay Inuyasha, you need to focus; take deep breaths. Lifting his head off the steering wheel, Inuyasha glanced at the clock, 7:30. He gave himself a quick pep talk before getting out his car and going to Kagome's door. He lifted up his hand to knock, but the door swung open, revealing Sango.
"I was wondering when you were going to come up." She said with a laugh.
Inuyasha frowned but said nothing as she stepped aside to let him in.
"Mr. Yash!" They turned the corner into the living room just in time to see Chie run towards them. She wore a big smile. "What are you doing here?"
"Mommy's not going to be happy that you were running," Satoshi said from his spot on the couch. He was leaning over the end looking at the trio. "Besides, he came for mommy and not you."
"I was just asking." She stuck her tongue out. Satoshi rolled his eyes and turned away. "Are you taking mommy out?"
"Yes."
"Okay," Sango jumped in before Chie could assault Inuyasha with more questions. "Chie and Satoshi, how about you two go tell you mother that Mr. Yash is here for her."
"Okay." Chie skipped over to her brother and together they disappeared down another hall.
"So," Sango turned back to Inuyasha. "No flowers?"
He shrugged. "I figured she would just throw them away."
"She would." She smiled. "Kagome is a good person Inuyasha. If you so much as make her cry, then I will cut you balls off and feed them to you." Sango never lost her smile, it only grew wider.
Inuyasha gulped. Sango was a good friend, but she was still crazy and there was no doubt in his mind that she wouldn't follow through on her threat.
"Don't worry Sango, I promised myself that I was going to be on my best behavior."
"We'll see. Kagome looks drop dead gorgeous so you better keep that promise."
"Scouts honor." He said raising his right hand. Sango laughed and shook her head.
"Mommy's here!"
Inuyasha's jaw dropped as his gaze traveled all over Kagome's body. She looked like a goddess who decided to grace mankind with her appearance. Her midnight hair was in loose curls and reached her just passed her shoulders. She wore his favorite color, showing him her sexy figure. The dress made her legs look absolutely delicious with her black heels. Those heels, he wanted to feel them dig into his back.
"So," Kagome said pulling him out of his thoughts. "What do you think?" She gave a little spin.
"You are breathtaking." He smiled as slight blush began to spread across her cheeks.
"Well, you two need to get going." said Sango. "Give your mother a kiss." Kagome bent down and hugged and kissed Satoshi and Chie each before telling them to be good.
"Have fun mommy," Chie said.
"Don't come home too late," Satoshi said sternly.
"I won't." Kagome grabbed a light jacket and Inuyasha and her made their way to his car. "So." Once they pulled off, she decided that she waited long enough to talk. "Where are we going?"
"To the best restaurant in town."
"Little Haven? That place is expensive."
"I know. I only eat there once, but the food is amazing."
"Just because you are taking me a ridiculously expensive place, doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with you."
"Wasn't counting on it." She stared at him for a while before accepting his answer.
"As long as we are on the same page." A smile tugged on the corner of his lips, but he remained quiet. He knew Kagome was going to try and make the date bad so she could refuse to see him again. He was not going to let that happen.
Inuyasha pulled into a parking spot and got out to open Kagome's door.
"I see you're going to be on your best behavior tonight." She mused.
"Of course, I have goals." She raised an eyebrow, causing him to chuckle. "Not those type of goals. Someone's a bit of a freak."
She punched his arm as she speeded away from him. Inuyasha could not help but grin. He loved the feisty side of her.
They made their way inside and Kagome could not help but stare and look around in awe. Everything was beautiful. From the polished marble floors, to the paintings hanging on the walls. From the calming atmosphere to the alluring music playing in the background. Everything was spectacular. Deep down, it had been one of Kagome's dreams to see the inside of Little Haven and dine within. It was as if Kami planted the idea inside Inuyasha's head just for her.
"I take it that you like it," Inuyasha whispered in her ear as he placed a hand on the small of her back. Kagome could only nod dumbly. They made it to the front, a gentleman was waiting. "Takahashi."
The man looked down for a second before placing his eyes back on the couple. "Yes, right this way." Grabbing two menus, the young man led them through various tables. Inuyasha had to guide Kagome because she was to busying gazing around. He was glad that she was enjoying herself. Tonight was turning out perfectly.
Inuyasha pulled out a chair to let Kagome sit before he went to his own. "What can I get you to drink?"
"We will have the wine of the night please." Inuyasha said. He smiled at Kagome who tried and failed not to smile back. The young man nodded before leaving.
"Wine?" she mused.
"I thought it would be nice to indulge a little."
"Of course." He watched as she looked through the menu. He promised to be on his best behavior, but it was going to be hard. Kagome looked amazing in her dress. He wanted to take the dress off and place kisses on her creamy colored skin.
"Are you going to sit and stare at me all night?" she asked without looking up from the menu.
"Sorry," he gave her another smile. "You just look amazing tonight."
"Thank you."
Inuyasha cracked opened his menu. He had to stop his one track thoughts and needed to focus on something else. The waiter returned and placed a bucket of ice and wine on the table. He also placed breadsticks and salad in front of them.
"Are you ready to order?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome who nodded. "Yes, I will have the smoked salmon."
"Um," Inuyasha looked back at his menu. "I will have the medium rare steak."
Their menus were collected up and the waiter left.
"Wine?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yes, thank you." Inuyasha opened the bottle and poured his self and Kagome a glass.
"To a wonderful evening." They toasted and sipped.
"So," Kagome began, breaking the silence. "Tell me about yourself."
"Well," Inuyasha down at his glass. "What do you want to know?"
"Anything is fine with me."
"Okay," he gave it some thought before speaking. "I have an older half-brother."
"Do you two get along?"
He shrugged. "I guess. Before he got mated he was a heartless bastard who hated me. Now, he tolerates me."
He looked up when Kagome laughed. "It sounds like a wonderful relationship."
They continued chatting, sharing stories about their lives. Their food arrived and they talked more during their meal. Laughter filled the table.
Kagome was having the time of her life with Inuyasha. She didn't expect the date to run so smoothly. Inuyasha was a gentleman and kept her entertained with stories about his family. She laughed when he told her about the time he embarrassed his brother's date with pictures of when he was a baby. She nearly cried when he told her about the death of his father and how his mom was depressed for years until recently.
His life was different and yet almost like hers. Of course she told him stories about her life. About her mother and younger brother. About how she never knew her father because he passed away a few days before she was born. Inuyasha hung to ever word; asking questions and commenting when needed.
She never expected to see a side like this of Inuyasha. It was slowly seeping in that he really wanted to be in a relationship with her.
"Let's go dance." He said placing his fork down. They both had finished their meal.
"Dance?"
"Yes, just one song."
Kagome glanced warily over to the dance floor. "I don't know."
"Oh come on. Just one dance please." She nearly laughed when he gave her the puppy face.
"Okay. One dance." She polished off her wine before taking his hand.
He led her to the dance floor. A slowly melody was playing. The floor wasn't crowded. Inuyasha pulled her close, placing one and around her waist and holding onto her other hand. Together, they swayed back and forth to the rhythm. Kagome smiled as he hummed the melody.
"You're good on your feet." She said looking into his eyes. Her heart leaped and he graced her with another of his amazing smiles. She noticed that he had dimples.
"Why thank you Kagome. You're not bad yourself." He whirled her around, causing a small laugh to escape her lips. When she came back around, she noticed that Inuyasha had pressed her closer to him. She could feel is breath tickle her face and smell the wine filled her nose.
Kagome looked back up into Inuyasha's eyes. He was so handsome. He took great care with making sure she was having a good time. "Kagome." His voice, so soft, so inviting. Her eyes drifting towards his lips. She let out a small moan when his licked them. "Kagome?"
She pulled away. "The music stopped." She said turning from him. "I think we should get back to the table."
He hesitated. "Okay."
I was about to kiss him. No Kagome. You must be good. No kissing the sexy dog. She looked behind her. Well, at least not in a five star restaurant.
They took their seats and the waiter returned. "Dessert?"
I will take one sexy hanyou to go please. "No," Kagome said. "I'm still full from dinner."
"There is always room for dessert." Inuyasha said with a grin. If only he knew. Kagome shook her head, but he nodded in understanding. "I believe we're done." The waiter nodded and went to retrieve the bill.
"I had fun." she said once they were alone again.
"I'm glad." The waiter came back and placed the bill in front of Inuyasha. He wrote a check and began to stand. "Ready to go?"
"Yes." The waiter bided them a goodnight and together they walked out. "It's a shame." Kagome began. "It's so early." And it was, only 10 o'clock.
"You're right. I can't possibly let you go home this early."
Inuyasha grinned before hopping into the car.
"So, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
Kagome gazed out the window as she thought about all the places Inuyasha could take her. A club? Or maybe his house? What did he plan to do? Was he tired of playing the gentleman role? Was he finally going to have his sweet way with her? A shuddered coursed through her body. She wanted him to be a gentleman, but she was acting like a horny teenager.
More like a woman who hadn't had sex in years. She thought glumly. Maybe getting it out of her system would help her think clearly. She side glanced at Inuyasha. Then again, maybe not.
"We're here."
She looked around, but frowned. "The park?"
"Yes, the park is a million times cooler at night. Everyone knows that." Kagome held in a laugh as she got out of the car. She took her heels off and placed them in the seat. "Race you to the swings."
"No Inuyasha. You're faster than me so that's cheating."
"Stop complain-" she took off running with a giggle. She made her way to the swings, adrenaline pumping.
"I win!"
"Only because I let you. You talk about me cheating and you took off running."
"You could have won if you wanted to."
"Well, that's true." he drawled out. They each took a swing and sat down.
Kagome dug her feet into the sand and began swinging back and forth. She kicked up the sand and watched the moonlight hit it, causing it to sparkle before falling back into place. She stopped when she saw that Inuyasha was just sitting and watching her. There was a longing in his eyes that caused her heart to race.
"What?"
"Did I tell you that you look amazing tonight?"
"Yes," she grinned. "Numerous times in fact."
"Oh." When he grabbed her hand, she didn't pull away. "You do look amazing."
"Thank you," it was almost a whisper. Kagome looked into his mesmerizing eyes. They stared at each other. Before she realized it, she was placing her lips against his.
Things are heating up for our lovely couple. I wonder what happens next. Don't forget to review, good or bad, I love to read what my fellow viewers have to say.
