Waiting for Love
Chapter 10: Almost Perfect
…
It was a bright but windy morning as a young women lay on her bed. Only half of her head rested on the pillow, her left leg dangling from the side of the bed as was her right arm. Her usually tangle-free raven hair was now filled with knots and looked a complete mess. She hadn't been able to sleep lately, and the bags under her eyes were proof of it.
It had been 2 weeks since her little mishap at the restaurant. Kagome had been angry, confused, tired and a little guilty. Not only did she make a fool of herself, but of them as well. But they had deserved it! She'd be damned before she apologized.
"So are you ever going to leave this room?" A familiar voice inquired as she leaned up against the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Hmm...it depends." Kagome answered as she sat up.
"On what exactly?" Sango asked.
"If I feel like it obviously. Why do you need something?"
"Yea, I need you to get your ass out of bed and go to work. The whole 'I'm depressed at the world' act is getting really old." Sango stated.
"Don't go and start giving me lectures Sango, I don't need them." Kagome grumbled.
"Oh yes you do!" Sango said stubbornly as she walked up to her. "Come on Kagome it's been more than a week! I hadn't asked you what happened because I thought you needed your space, but now it's getting annoying. And I am not paying the rent by myself missy!" She cried out.
"Nobody asked you to. Besides, I'm fine." Kagome reassure scratcing her tangled mop of hair absently.
"Fine enough to go to work?" Sango asked hopefully.
"Nope. But I'm fine enough to take another week off." Kagome smiled as she snuggled under her covers.
"The hell you are!" Sango shot as she pulled away the blankets, and open up her blinds bringing in some sunlight.
"Ah! My eyes! Close it, close it!" Kagome whined as she dropped onto the floor in order to escape the sudden burst of unwanted light.
"My god, pull yourself together man! That's what you get when you close yourself up in your little cocoon for too long." Sango scolded as she pulled the blinds back a bit.
"You're mean. Has anyone ever told you that?" Kagome questioned.
"It's for your own good. You'll be taking me later on in life." Sango said in a motherly tone.
"Pshh...keep dreaming buddy, because that ain't ever gonna happen." Kagome scoffed as she lazily made her way out of the room and into the bathroom.
"Did Gome-Chan finally get up?" A small voice asked curiously.
"Yup, thanks to me…and you wanted to wait a little more." Sango snorted as she looked down at him.
"It was just a suggestion." Shippo pouted.
"Well now the problem is solved," Sango chirped. "So no need to worry."
"So what now?" He asked.
"She's going to go to work." Sango announced as she went to the kitchen with the little kitsune not too far behind.
"But I thought our job was to get her out of bed, and that's it." He said.
"Oh Shippo, you misunderstood me. I had clearly intended to send her to work. Besides, she's been in the house way too long." Sango explained.
"You're just complaining because it's usually Kagome who gets your booze. Especially ever since that incident." Shippo said dryly.
"That's absurd, I said I'd pay them pay back!" Sango argued.
"Yea, that's what you said…one week later when the police arrived. I'm surprised you didn't get arrested." Shippo said seriously.
"I'm just lucky." Sango said proudly. "Aren't you going to Toshiro's house to play today?" She questioned.
"Hmph, you just want to get rid of me because you're embarrassed. I don't blame you, I would be too." Shippo smirked as he put on his shoes.
"Geez...after I fed you and all this is the thanks I get?" Sango said in a fake hurt voice.
"Don't think of it as a thanks. Think of it as me guiding you onto the road to recovery, because you know what they say...'the first step is admitting you have a problem'. The rest of us know you have a problem, but you just have to accept it and move on. But booze isn't the way out aunty Sango. You can talk to real people about your psycho issues...and I'm sure you have like millions of those." Shippo snickered slowly making his way to the door. "And I'm sure that you and alcohol have become close friends during the years and it's great that you have another friend to add to your buddy list...which is sad...but I think when we're done trying to get aunty Kagome a boyfriend we can go straight to helping you with...your little problem...such a tragedy that will be for you, to be separated from your special friend." Shippo hollered a 'see you later' before high tailing out of there before Sango could get her hands on him.
"Why you-Shippo get back here so I can wring your little neck!" Sango commanded. 'That little snot! I'll just get him when he gets home...then we'll see who's guiding who on the road to recovery cause nobody disrespects my booze and gets away with it.' She thought evilly.
"Where did Shippo go this time?" Kagome asked as she entered the living room.
"His friend's house. So are you ready to go?" Sango asked.
"Huh? Go where?" Kagome asked confusingly.
"Duh! To work...don't think I was joking about what I said. And don't you worry; I already called in saying that you're already on your way there." Sango smiled as she pushed her towards the door.
"W-Wait a minute, I never agreed to this!" Kagome shouted as Sango continued to shove her.
"I know. This was a one-sided decision. Have fun and bring back lots of tips!" Sango ordered as she gave her one final push out the door.
"B-But Sango!" Kagome protested.
"Bye-bye!" Sango waved as she closed the door.
'I guess I have no choice.' Kagome thought sadly as she made her way to work.
…
"Inuyasha Takahashi, open up this door at once!" A shrill voice ordered as she continued her banging.
'Doesn't she ever give up!' Inuyasha thought as he sighed tiredly. Kikyou Fujimiya was his secretary. She was punctual and strict. She barely smiled and was one hell of a nagger. With her long glossy raven hair that was pulled into a low pony tail, her piercing cold grey eyes, and pale, smooth, flawless skin. She had undoubtedly earned the title 'Ice Queen'.
"Inuyasha, if you don't open the door I'll call somebody to come here and break it down!" Kikyou yelled angrily.
"Isn't it about time for your lunch break!" He asked desperately as his cell phone began to ring. "I was beginning to wonder when you'd call." He whispered into the useful contraption.
"Let me guess-you locked yourself up in the office, and Kikyou is trying to get in?" Miroku sounded amused on the other line.
"Yea, how'd you know?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"I'm currently watching it right now. It's pretty entertaining. I never knew her face could get so red! Oh wait...now it's turning a little blue." He chuckled.
"I really need to send her on a vacation, but she just won't leave!" Inuyasha explained.
"She's persistent. Aren't you glad she isn't one of your fans?"
"God that would be worse. So do you have anything for me Miroku?"
"Negative captain, I simply cannot find the target. I asked around, but apparently she hasn't been to work for 2 weeks" Miroku said.
"Where the hell is she then?"
"I don't know. I couldn't get much information, especially with that Leiko around. I swear she's another Kikyou, just much more attitude." Miroku sighed.
"Alright, just get me out of here. All of her banging is giving me a migraine." Inuyasha complained as he rubbed his temples.
Miroku chuckled. "As you wish captain."
"Oh and Miroku…don't call me captain ever again." Inuyasha instructed as he hung up.
0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Kagome sighed as she leaned up against the wall. As soon as she had arrived at the restaurant she was already told to clean the tables and take some orders. They didn't even let her put on her uniform for goodness sake! She had been away for only two weeks, and she already felt like she needed a vacation.
"So this is where you've been hiding..." Came a voice.
"Hey Megumi, they want me back already?" Kagome asked, secretly praying that they didn't.
"Nah, I was just looking for you actually." Megumi answered.
"What for?"
Megumi looked around a bit, and then leaned closer and whispered "Truth is, I got some juicy piece of information. Which I think you'd be interested in."
"Who's it about?"
"You obviously. I wasn't gonna tell anybody else." Megumi said as she rolled her eyes.
"Well out with it!" Kagome urged on.
"Now Kags, you know the rules of my occupation: Money first then information." Megumi smiled as she rubbed her thumb against her index and middle finger. "Now pass up the dough and I tell you what you wanna know."
"Awe come on Megumi," Kagome begged. "Can't you let it slide just this once?"
"As much as I love you Kagome, I simply cannot do that. Either you pay up now, or I'll go to somebody else with this piece of information." Megumi suggested in a tone that left no argument.
Kagome sighed. It was useless to try and beg. This was Megumi after all, money taker extraordinaire. "Fine, How much?"
Megumi grinned and took out her calculator from her apron and said "Well considering I had to keep this for a while, the fact that you didn't get me that doughnut, and your lack of enthusiasm. You're total comes out to exactly $13.20."
"That much! Come on isn't there a discount involved!" Kagome cried out.
"Hey don't take that tone with me. The original price is much higher. You're lucky I like you, and that I'm in a good mood today." Megumi told her seriously.
Kagome shook her head and took out her wallet "This better be worth it, or I want a refund."
"Oh trust me...it's good, worth every penny." Megumi's grin widened as she counted her money happily. "Walk with me Kagome."
"So what do you know Megumi?" Kagome inquired as they took a seat at an empty table.
"Lots!" Megumi giggled childishly. "First off let me tell you that a certain somebody has been asking around for you. And when I say asking around I mean he's really been asking around."
Kagome had a thoughtful expression her face and said "Who? Kouga?"
"Yes there's him too, but who I mean is that hottie from Hideki Industry- Inuyasha Takahashi. He's been looking for you ever since Sango told us about that horrible night at the restaurant."
"Y-You guys didn't tell him anything right?"
"Of coarse not, but I'll tell you this Kags, I was tempted…all that money he was willing to pay. Holy shit, I'd be rich by now! He's one hell of a customer." Megumi sighed dreamily, as she remembered all those 50 dollar bills he flashed out. "But seeing as how I'm such a good friend, I kept my mouth shut. Even when I know that chance is never going to be presented again..."
"Meg! Focus! What else happened?" Kagome asked as she snapped her fingers in front of Megumi's face.
"O-Oh yea...so anyways I decided to investigate. I went to some of my sources, and got them to spill a little. And believe me it wasn't cheap either…damn those crummy bastards." Megumi complained.
"Megumi." Kagome warned.
"Sorry, sorry. I know I was getting off topic." Megumi apologized.
"Please, do go on."
"Anyways it turns out he went to all the places you usually go too. He's one determined young man, I'll tell you that much. He came here a couple of times too. Even that friend of his. You know the one who's dating Sango…umm I think his name was Mikoku? Moriko? Mikuro?" She said as she rubbed her chin deep in thought.
"Miroku?" Kagome offered.
Megumi's eyes instantly brightened up "Yea that's it! Oh and you should of seen Leiko tell him off. It was so crazy! You see what you miss when you're not around?" Megumi scolded lightly.
Kagome didn't say anything. She wasn't at all surprised to know he was looking for her, but to go through that entire trouble just to find her…Kagome was well…flattered.
"Oh and this one is really gonna get you going!" Megumi burst out.
"H-Huh?" Kagome uttered. "There's more?
"I heard that he's coming back today!" Megumi chirped.
"W-What did you say? When!" Kagome shouted as she stood up abruptly ready to dash out like a crazy woman if necessary. As long as it meant she didn't have to come face to face with him just yet.
"Hmm...well, if you want to exact time." Megumi began as she looked at her watch. "Oh he should be here right now actually." She smiled.
And before Kagome could say anything more, the doors of Sukiyami's restaurant burst open, and in its doorway stood in all his glory the one person she had hoped to avoid a while longer…Inuyasha Takahashi.
"Oh no." Kagome mumbled.
"Oh yes, action time!" Megumi said gleefully.
Wasting no time Kagome quickly grabbed Megumi and ducked. "We need to hide!" She said desperately.
"We? What we? I don't know about you, but I'm not hiding." Megumi said defiantly.
"Fine, just help me get away!" Kagome snapped.
"No need to get mad, don't worry I've got you covered. When you see my signal go out from the back door." Megumi instructed. "Oh by the way…this is gonna cost you too. You'll get the bill tomorrow." She said.
"Nothing's free with you is it?" Kagome said dryly.
"Do you want my help or not, cause I'm considering in not helping anymore." Megumi scowled.
"Forget I said anything." Kagome sighed.
"Done and done." She giggled as she stood up and went to them.
'Megumi, you better not double cross me.' Kagome thought as she waited for the signal
…
Inuyasha looked around numerous times, and he still hadn't seen her. He was sure she'd be here today. Thanks from to a trusty little bird. Walking on he went over to the bar and took a seat on a stool.
"Well look who's here." A voice drawled out.
Inuyasha sighed heavily. He had hoped she wouldn't be here, but alas it seems that the gods weren't rooting for him today "Leiko."
"Takahashi." She spat as she looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"What could I possibly do for you today?" Inuyasha asked as he faced the brown haired beauty.
"You could leave for one." Leiko said.
"I will. Once I get what I came for." He said as he looked around once more. "So where is she?"
"Where's who Takahashi? You should learn to be more specific." Leiko said as she rolled her eyes. She already knew who he was looking for, but the sooner he got out of the restaurent the better.
"You know exactly who I am talking about." Inuyasha barked. He wasn't in the mood to deal with her today.
"Oh I see somebody's angry." Leiko smirked "Just get the hell out Takahashi. I'm not gonna tell you where she is so stop wasting my time." She said coldly.
"You're such a callous bitch you know that?" Inuyasha growled
"And you're an obstinate bastard!" Leiko scoffed.
Inuyasha was about to say something else when suddenly Megumi came waltzing into the scene "Hey how's it going?"
"Meg what are you doing?" Leiko demanded irritatedly
"You might want to take this little conversation somewhere else." Megumi suggested.
"And why is that?" Leiko asked a she cocked an eyebrow.
"Do I really have to explain?" Megumi said as nudged her head to the many customers who waited patiently to see what would happen next.
"Well Leiko you've managed to make a scene…again." Inuyasha smirked.
"Screw you asshole!" Leiko said angrily.
"You're looking for Kagome right?" Megumi suddenly said.
"Yea, where is she?" Inuyasha asked as he turned his attention to Megumi.
"Oh sorry you just missed her, she left a few minutes ago." Megumi smiled.
Leiko turn to look at Megumi 'what are you saying Megumi?' She thought as she looked at her questioningly.
"Is that so?" He asked suspiciously.
"Yup it is. Now I think it's time for you to go." Megumi insisted as she turned him around, looking back she gave Kagome a wink. Smiling she rushed out towards the back.
"Wait, are you sure? How do I know you're not lying?" Inuyasha asked as he turned back to face her and looked into her sea green eyes.
"I would never lie!" Megumi gasped dramatically. "Besides...that's Sari's job"
"I resent that!" Sari shouted.
"I suppose you wouldn't. You're information has been helpful.Unlike some people.." Inuyasha glared at Leiko just as she glared back menacingly. "Bye then..."
Once he was out of sight Megumi let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "That was a close one. I feel bad for lying though, he was such a great customer." She sulked.
"You did a good deed Meg-Chan." Leiko congradulated.
"I suppose. Well at least my deeds aren't handed out without a reasonable reward" Megumi perked up.
"What do you mean?" Leiko asked.
Megumi turned to her and held her hand out "That will be $12.53 please."
"Oh boy." Leiko groaned. She hoped Kagome was having better luck than she was at this moment.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
It was around 6:30pm when Kagome had finally reached her apartment building. It was taken less time if it wasn't for her seeing Inuyasha almost everywhere she went. At first she was touched, but now…she was getting freaked out. See, if they were actually friends or going out it would'nt be weird, but seeing as how they have no connections with each other...well her having no connection with him...this was just a tad bit creepy.
Kagome took a moment to catch her breath. And was about to go inside when she heard her name being called. She immediately tensed up as she turned around, but then relaxed when she saw it wasn't him.
"Hey Kouga." Kagome greeted casually.
"Kagome, let me start off by saying I'm very sorry. I feel like such an asshole for humiliating you like that. I was trying to make you feel better but all I did was make you feel worse." Kouga said in sorrowful tone.
"Oh, it's alright. I mean sure I was mad, but I'm completely over it." Kagome giggled.
Once Kouga heard her say that he instantly brightened up "Then allow me to escort you to dinner. My way of apologizing." Kouga suggested as he held both her hand and looked deep into her eyes.
"O-Oh I couldn't. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm gonna sit this one out. M-maybe something time." She pried her hands from his.
"You're an extremely hard challenge Kagome, but I'm patient. I'll see you around beautiful." Kouga said as he gave a quick peck on the cheek and was off.
'At least I don't need to worry about him for a while.' Kagome thought as she smiled fondly and lightly touched her cheek. It wasn't the first time Kouga had kissed her. That was one of the main things she liked about him. He was sweet, romantic and knew how to charm a woman. He was also a good friend.
That was one of the many reasons why she refused to go on a date with him. He was so good to her that she couldn't bring herself to break his heart. But perhaps this was just a crush? He'd eventually get over her right?
Smiling she walked up the stairs and headed to her apartment. She opened up her purse and dug around for her keys "Shit, I forgot them inside." She cursed as she knocked on the door.
"Will you give it up already? I heard you!" Sango's voice called out grumpily as she opened the door.
"What do you want?" Sango asked in a bored tone.
"Afternoon to you too. Now let me in."
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" Sango asked as she moved aside and let her in.
"Something came up."
"Something or someone?" Sango inquired grinning.
"Alright who told you?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Sari called me up. Told me the whole story. It was very interesting." Sango smiled widely.
"Shut up." Kagome muttered as she went to her room.
"Awe Kaggy, I was just playing around." Sango laughed.
"That's very nice to know. I don't care."
"I'm sorry!" Sango apologized.
"Whatever, but when Miroku comes hanging around don't expect any help from me." Kagome said as she popped her head out of room.
"Now that's not fair!" Sango complained.
"Nope. Its life San-Chan." Kagome said as she went back into her room.
"Damn it."
…
It was pretty late as the two girls were curled up on the couch eating ice cream. They were watching 'House Of wax'. Shippo was staying at his friend's house for the night so the girls had the apartment to themselves.
"Oh my god, oh my god!" Sango said as she watched on attentively.
"Shut up, the good parts coming!" Kagome hushed.
All was quiet between the two as they watched on…it was coming he was creeping closer and closer until…
Ring… Ring….Ring…
"AHHHHHH!" They yelled as they both jumped up from the couch.
"It was just the phone." Kagome said casually.
"You were scared too Kagome, don't try and deny it!" Sango exclaimed.
"Hello?" Kagome answered as she ignored Sango's previous comment.
"Looks like I finally found you Kagome." A familiar sounding voice said amusingly.
"Who is this?"
"That hurt. You should know who this is by now babe."
Kagome shook her head. She knew it was coming, and she would have to deal with him "What do you want Inuyasha"
"I wanted to know if you were free." Inuyasha replied.
"No I'm not. As a matter of fact I'm quite busy." Kagome replied. It wasn't a lie, she was busy…busy watching a movie with her roommate.
"Come on I made reservations for dinner." Inuyasha said.
"Reservations? Why the hell would you do that if you knew that I'd say no?" Kagome questioned, wondering if he had any common sense in him.
"It's at the Hanamizuki." He urged.
"Y-You got reservation at 'The Hanamizuki'! Do you have any idea how bloody expensive that place is!" Kagome shouted as Sango gasped in astonishment.
"So will you go?"
"No! Find somebody else. This will teach you to never make a reservation without consulting the one you want to bring first!" Kagome shot irritably.
"Kagome, you can't leave me hanging here." Inuyasha stated. She couldn't almost hear the smirk forming on his lips.
"Just watch me."
"I sort of can't.Your curtain is blocking my view." He exclaimed honestly.
"What did you say?"
Inuyasha chuckled and said "Look out you're window."
Kagome hesitated for a moment, but carefully walked over and took a peek through her curtains. Her eyes widened as she saw Inuyasha looking up, smiling at her while waving a hello.
"What the hell were you thinking!" Kagome growled.
"Now you can't say no"
"Why you little ba-…" Kagome began when suddenly the phone was ripped from her grasp.
"She'll be down in 30 minutes." Sango said as she hung up the phone.
"Sango, I don't want to go!" Kagome exploded.
"Well now you have no choice but to go. Now off to the shower you go!" Sango instructed. "I'll do the honors of picking out an outfit for you."
"I hate you."
"I love you too Kags." Sango said sweetly.
"That's not what I said." Kagome frowned.
"But deep down that's exactly what you meant." Sango said in a wise tone as Kagome pouted and shut the door.
…
Minutes later Kagome was out and dressed. Sango was now finishing up with her make up "And you're ready to go."
Kagome opened her eyes and gasped. Here she was, standing in front of the mirror in one of the most gorgeous dresses she had ever seen. It was a black halter dress that went all the way down to her ankles, a slip on the right that went up to her thigh. The back of the dress hung low, to the small of her back. She wore black high heel sandles, that strapped up with a single diamond in the middle.
She wore light make up which consisted of eyeliner, mascara, clear lip-gloss and a bit of blush.
"Amazing isn't it?" Sango asked proudly.
"I've never seen this dress or these shoes in my closet before..." Kagome stated as she looked at Sango warily.
"I know, while you were in the shower I made a quick call up to an old friend. When I told her what the occasion was for she was ecsatic to be of help."
"Who is she? I'll have to remember to thank her."
"Oh, I'll tell you tomorrow. Right now you have a date to get to my dear." Sango said happily as she led her out.
"Um...I don't have to go you know..." Kagome said feeling suddenly very nervous.
"Oh yes you do." Sango handed her a silver handbag. "Have a good time Kago-chan! And if you can bring back some champagne...you know as a souvenir!"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o
It was also extremely expensive and hard to get a reservation. That and the manager was an asshole. He'd only let those who were rich and important dine in the Hanamizuki.
"So how do you like it here so far?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's beautiful. So much more than what I imagined it'd be." Kagome smiled.
"You look amazing tonight Kagome, I'm glad you reconsidered." Inuyasha said smoothly as he took a sip of his drink and gazed at her.
"Thanks, I'm glad too." Kagome blushed as she turned away from his heated gaze.
Inuyasha chuckled softly. She was just too adorable not to mention irresistible. Especially with that dress on. Inuyasha wanted to forget all about dinner, and bring her over to his place when he first laid eyes on her in that dress. But if he wanted her to like him he had to take baby steps…no matter how tempting she was. "So should we order now?"
"Yea, but I wish I knew what to get. Everything is so pricey." Kagome said as she bit her bottom lip nervously.
"Don't worry about the price. I'm paying remember." Inuyasha said as he gave her a smirk.
"Hmm...Well if you put it that way." Kagome smiled mischievously.
'What are you up too?' Inuyasha thought as he looked at her carefully.
"May I take your order?" A waitress asked sweetly.
"Ah yes, I'll have the grilled chicken served with rice and a salad. With Greek dressing please." Inuyasha requested.
"And you miss?"
"I'll start off by having the chicken soup then I'll have the filet minion with gravy and rice with a small salad. Italian dressing please..-Oh! And I'll have a coke. I'm not much of a drinker." Kagome giggled.
"It will be here soon." The waitress smiled as she walked off.
"That's quite a bit. Think you can handle it?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Sure I can. I just hope your wallet can handle it too, because I can't wait for dessert." Kagome said innocently. He had said to choose whatever she wanted so she did exactly that.
"I hope your not purposely trying to make me broke." Inuyasha said teasingly.
"I'm not like that. I don't know about your other girlfriends, but that's not me." Kagome said feeling a little offended.
"I never said you were." Inuyasha said nonchalantly.
Kagome then looked up and blushed embarrassedly "S-Sorry, I didn't mean t-…" Kagome began.
"What did you mean?"
Kagome looked at him for a minute, but then smiled and shook her head "Never mind, it was nothing. Oh food's here!" She cried out excitedly.
"Well let's eat." Inuyasha declared as Kagome nodded rapidly. The rest of meal was spent silently other than some chit-chat here and there.
…
After dinner Inuyasha had suggested that they take a walk on the beach. "Wow! This is so cool!" Kagome exclaimed as she run up ahead.
"And they call me childish?" Inuyasha said to no one in particular.
"Inuyasha, come on! Speed it up!" Kagome called out.
"Speed it up huh?" Inuyasha grinned as he ran after her.
"You're too slow!" She teased as she saw him coming faster and faster.
"Got you!" He said happily as he wrapped his arms around her slim waist, picked her up, and twirled her around.
Kagome laughed as he gently put her back down "It's really something else eh?" She said as she looked at the scenery before them.
"You're something else too." Inuyasha added softly.
"You're so weird." Kagome giggled as she pushed away from him and sat on the ground.
They remained like that for a while, enjoying the breeze and beach at night. 'Now, if only he was this sweet all the time.' Kagome mused to herself as she glanced at Inuyasha momentarily.
His silver hair swayed in the breeze as he fixed his amber gaze towards the ocean. The light of the moon shone upon him, giving him a sort of godly glow. "Gorgeous" Kagome said breathlessly.
"Did you say something?" He asked curiously as he looked at her.
"Ah, nothing!" Kagome said quickly as she looked away.
Inuyasha leaned closer and took a hold of her chin, making her turn her attention to him and said "Are you sure?"
"P-Positive" Kagome said as she looked deep into his eyes. Her face was beat red by now 'Damn it Kagome, get a hold of yourself!' She thought furiously.
"Really now?" he said quietly as he leaned his forehead on hers and closed his eyes.
'What the hell is wrong with me!' Kagome asked herself. Her heart was beating so fast, she thought Inuyasha could hear it. She gulped he wouldn't try to…right?
"Kagome." Inuyasha whispered as he titled her face a bit.
"Yea?"
"I want…that is if you let me, I would like to…" He began.
"You'd like…to what?" Kagome asked as she took felt her eyes begin to close. She could feel his breath, and knew what was going to happen…Inuyasha was going to kiss her!
He was close, really close. She could feel it. He lightly brushed his lips against hers and she gasped. Here it was her first actual kiss! It was perfect, it seem like nothing could go wrong…just a little more and…
"Inuyasha Takahashi! Get your ass over here right now!" A voice shouted loudly causing the two to back away from each other and stand up rapidly.
"Damnit. She's here" Inuyasha cursed. He was so close too. How the hell did she find him?
"Umm...Inuyasha, who is that?" Kagome asked.
"My secretary, Kikyou Fujimiya." Inuyasha sighed.
"Takahashi, you have any idea how much trouble you're in! What the hell were you thinking playing date when you have a plane to catch!" Kikyou scolded.
"She looks really mad." Kagome said.
"Nah, she's always like that." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Move it Takahashi, it's your ass that's on the line!" Kikyou ordered.
Inuyasha chuckled and scratched his head nervously "Looks like I got to go, I hope this wasn't a waste of your time."
"Oh no, I had…a lot of fun tonight Inuyasha." Kagome said sweetly.
"Really? Then you wouldn't mind doing this again sometime?" He asked hopefully.
Kagome giggled "Nope, not at all."
"Great! You need a ride? My limo driver can bring you home." Inuyasha said.
"That's alright; I'll just ask Sango to come get me. You should go though. I wouldn't want you to be late."

"Huh? Where are you? Isn't Inuyasha bringing you home?"
"Something came up. I'm at Hanamizuki." Kagome said.
"Alright, see you in a bit." Sango said as she hung up.
Kagome continued to look out at the sea, as she recalled just what happened "Inuyasha almost kissed me…and I wanted him to." She said as she blushed madly. "God, I'm so hopeless!" She cried out
