Thanx for the reviews! Because of you guys, I've hit 100! You have no idea how happy that makes me. Keep it up and I will!
OXOXOXO
It was a new day for Kagome, and she wasn't about to waste it. Inuyasha had been single all this time. Why had no one bothered to tell her? Of course, she made sure no one knew she was, shall we say slightly excited, by all the attention he seemed to give her over his other friends. But still! It should have come up in all their gossiping. Or maybe, no one but Miroku knew? Was he trying to just be a pain? She hoped he hadn't told her because she was just so good at hiding her emotions. She knew it wasn't true, though. She always showed what she was feeling. She wished she wasn't so open, but she couldn't help it. Her mother called from down stairs.
"Time to get up, Kagome! You have to go meet Hojo soon!" Hmm, Hojo. What was she supposed to do about him? He was nice to her all the time, and they'd been dating for close to three years. She couldn't very well see him and say, "ya know wut? I met this guy up at my new shool and I've only known him for a week, but I'm dumping you on the slight hope he'll pick me over his perfect girlfriend." That was a disaster waiting to happen. She had to find something though. Even if she had only known Inuyasha a week, he was so much more than Hojo. More interesting, more fun, more... everything. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about him called to her. She knew now what she didn't like about Hojo-- He was boring. He was predictable, and just all around, well, boring. That word seemed to fit him perfectly. She had only agreed to date him because he had been so adamant about it. He asked her almost every day. She didn't realy have the heart then to tell him she realy wasn't interested, so they had dated. She just sort of fell into the habit. She supposed that must have been what happened to Inuyasha and Kikyou, they just did it because it was handy. She felt nothing more than friendship for Hojo, is that what Inuyasha felt for Kikyou? She hoped so.
Now, on to the matter at hand - What was she going to wear? Sexy? Flirty? Atractive? No! Of course not! She wanted to repel Hojo, not make him think that his girlfriend was atractive. So, what then? Jeans and tee! The perfect backup! She put on a pair of old ripped jeans and a simple white tee that said "2 CUTE" with a pair of chibi kittens under it. She grabbed a denim bag and converse shoes and went down stairs. She ate a large breakfast slowly, trying to bide her time. Hojo wouldn't be mad if she was late. He was never mad. They never fought. It was (you guessed it!) boring. If she wanted to do something, he would agree and she would enjoy it with him watching her from behind. He never mentioned the things he liked to do, if he wanted to do something, he'd simply say he was busy and leave her alone for a day. She found it annoying, but she knew that sometimes people just needed to be alone. He never realy shared important secrets with her, and she poured her heart out every time she got upset. Looking back, she didn't know why she'd said yes to him. She could have said yes to Miroku, Koga, Inuyasha even if he had been in a arrogant mood. But, Hojo had been sweet. She didn't like sweet, she liked challenge. Oh, why had she said yes? She could have had much more fun Saturdays if he had just taken her first 'I realy don't think that'd be a good idea' as what it was, regection! She was just too nice.
Kagome flew down the steps, hand on the jewel under her shirt. She was going to grab a bus to the edge of town where she would rent a car with her mother's credit card. She'd then drive to a town half way between Demon City, Oran to Hojo, and Tokyo to meet her soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend. She'd have to dump him today. She hated it, but she'd have to. There realy was no way around it if she was ever going to be happy.
oxoxoxo
Inuyasha had been running for close to an hour. He didn't have a clue where she was driving to, but he was beside her the whole way, up in trees and on roofs that is. If she ever found out he'd followed her on her date... He shivered. It would most definently not be good. He taken a masking charm from the city exit, so he looked like a human. He just hoped no real human saw him jumping and running like a demon. He'd be in even more trouble. He wondered what this Hobo kid looked like. Yes, he'd seen the picture in the locket, but, realy, how many people look like their picture? Kagome did. She looked just like that picture of her and Homo in the locket. And did she ever take a good picture. She was smiling and glowing in the sun... No. Stop. You can't think about her like that. She's not yours. He smirked. Yet.
She turned off at some freeway and Inuyasha barely caught himself before he jumped onto the car. That would earn him some major yelling. They were in some town call Itoki, and it's a good thing too because Inuyasha was getting board and wouldn't have made it to Tokyo. She was going to some resturant. Hm, maybe he'd just happen to show up... No. She'd know. But, if she didn't notice just some random teen with out the silver hair and ears... Yeah, that could work. He'd get a table near them and listen. Shoot, with his hearing, he could probably listen from the far end of the city. Hm, was that scrawny kid that went in Hogo? Hm, time for a closer look.
Inuyasha came out of his hiding spot, grateful he had ditched his usual horori for jeans and a tee to blend in with the humans. Unless Kagome was paying extra close attention to every person in sight, she'd never know it was him. If he had his way, she'd never find out. He was here to simply break up the couple with out them knowing. Now, how does a person do that? He walked into the restraunt and sat at a table were he could see Hobo and Kagome had her back to him. There was a waitress at their table and they both ordered burgers and onion rings with chocolate milkshakes. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Kagome wanted to keep it cheap for the poor guy and he wanted to do everything she did. What a sappy couple. He quickly ordered a steak with a baked potato and soda when the waitress came to him.
Some thing was up. Kagome smelt... nervous. Wait, this was her boyfriend, why did she smell nervous? Shouldn't she feel comfortable around him? This didn't make sense. Turns out, that was the least of his worries. He caught another smell he realy didn't want around. And, just what the hell was Koga doing here?
oxoxoxo
Koga sat a few tables away from Kagome and Hojo. He was in desguise as well, jeans and a tee with a masking charm. He wanted Kagome, and if she had feelings for this dork, he would have to be eliminated. But, she didn't smell right. Maybe... aprehensive? But why? Wait, what was that other sent? Oh shit. What was the mutt doing here? He looked around and found a guy that looked like Inuyasha minus the hair and ears staring at him. He glared back and jerked his head torward the door and the other guy nodded. Both managed to casually slip out without Kagome noticing.
"What do think you're doing here!" Inuyasha yelled at Koga.
"What are you doing here!" Koga shouted back.
"That's none of your business!"
"Back at 'cha!" Both glared like if they could out last the other, they could have Kagome. If it were only that simple. They stood there for a few moments before Koga broke it off. "It ain't helpin' either of us to argue. I think we're both here for the same reason, so, for today only, truce?" Inuyasha stared at him like he had lost his mind before snapping to attention.
"Uh, alright." They shook hands. "But let's make this clear, as soon as we're home again, we both have to fight for Kagome. Just because you were here doesn't mean you get her."
"Same goes for you mutt!" They had another brief glaring contest before Koga broke it off again. "Fine! What ever, just as long as we get those two to break up."
"Yeah." They turned and walked back into the restraunt, taking Inuyasha's table since it was better positioned. Inuyasha got to see the back of Kagome's head. Both ate in silence, listening very carefully to Hojo and Kagome's conversation. They'd only had polite conversation so far and it was realy starting to get to Inuyasha.
"Calm down. We don't want to atract attention." Inuyasha still grumbled and let out a low 'Finaly!' when the couple had gotten up to leave. Inuyasha paid his tab as Koga paid his and they followed closely. It looked like the two were making their way torwards the park. The demons easily stayed out of sight of the humans as they walked the park. Suddenly they stopped and sat on a bench. He was talking and Inuyasha didn't like her facial expression.
oxoxoxo
"Kagome?"
"Yeah?" He looked kinda weird. Was he sick?
"Uh, I was thinking, this, uh, long distance thing, it uh..." He scratched the back of his head and looked away.
"You- You want to break up with me?" Was this for real? She didn't have to do it? YES!
"Well, don't take it too hard, but, well, me and Eri got real close after you left, and well..."
"Eri? Seriously? Hojo!" He was expecting to get yelled at, but she completely threw him when she hugged him. "Oh Hojo, I'm so happy for you! I was going to break it off today too! I hate this hundreds of miles in between us thing. I'm so happy you and Eri like each other. Tell her I send my best wishes, alright?" He looked dazed but nodded any way.
"Wait! I feel so bad, cause, well, you don't have any one. Not that you need one! You're like the strongest girl I've ever met and could totaly take care of yourself and all, but still..."
"Don't feel bad. I have some one, but he doesn't know it yet." She smiled mischeiviously and Hojo was glad he wasn't behind that look. "You should probably head back. You have further to go than I do. Oh Hojo, I realy am glad." She turned her sincere eyes on him and he blushed.
"Uh, yeah, thanks," he answered uncomfortably. "Well, good bye Kagome." They both stood and he left a polite kiss on her cheek. He turned and at the edge of the park he waved before disapearing. Kagome waited a few more minutes so the park could empty before she shouted.
"INUYASHA! KOGA! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Two demons fell from their perches. "How dare you two spy on me! Why the hell were you spying to start with! Oh, you two make me so mad! You'll both be lucky if I ever talk to you guys again!" She marched back to her car and drove off, leaving two scared demons on the ground.
OXOXOXO
