F_F: Inuyasha, baby; what would you say if I was prego's?

Inuyasha: I'd say who the fuck says prego's? It's pregnant, idiot.

F_F: Well, what if I said I was pregnant with your son?

Inuyasha:…

F_F: I'm pregnant.

Inuyasha:*laughs* Well it can't be my son because I wouldn't have sex with an ugly person.

F_F…I'm not pregnant.

Inuyasha: Exactly and I'm still not yours.


The Last Dance

Chapter 12

Pokémon


Kagome laughed as she felt tears come to her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was watching. In front of her, on her lap top screen was a very nice scene. Inuyasha was making out with his pillow, hardcore, tongue and everything.

The night of the dinner with Kouga, his father, and her mother had come. Kagome had decided to video chat with Inuyasha since the guest had arrived a bit late….If an hour is considered a bit late…. He had just lost in a simple game of jan-ken-po (rock paper scissors), so Kagome had dared him to make out with his pillow for three minutes.

She hadn't expected him to do it, but now that she was seeing it, she was amazed. Who knew it was possible to make out so hard with a pillow? She took a bunch of pictures, more blackmail for her.

"Times up." Kagome said clapping her hands. "Wow, if you can do all of that to a pillow, why can't you do all of that to me?" Kagome asked laughing.

Inuyasha glared at her. "I hate you."

He placed the pillow back at the head of his bed before going back to the end of his bed and fixing the lap top screen on himself.

"Wanna' play again?"

"No!" He hated the game because he normally lost at it.

"Then entertain me, monkey." Kagome leaned back in her chair. She smiled at the look Inuyasha gave her. "I mean dog."

He growled. "Shut up, I don't know what to do now."

"So you asked me to video chat with you and you had nothing planned? If this was a date, it'd suck."

"Good thing it's not a date then."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Hey, I'm sure you and Miroku have had some guy talk, so you know how he's trying to get Sango with him, right?" Inuyasha nodded his head. "Well, how can you go to an amusement park in winter?"

Inuyasha grunted. "What am I, God? I don't have the answer to that."

Kagome sighed. "I didn't expect you to…I'll think of something."

"Since were on the topic of relationships and stuff I got a question for you."

"Wait, how is that on the topic of relationships?" Kagome adjusted her screen. "We were talking about amusement parks."

"Idiot, we were talking about Miroku and Sango basically! Since Miroku's trying to court Sango that means were on the topic of relationships! Use your context clues, baaaaaka!"

"Dumbass, it's not context clues, you only use that when reading!"

"Shut up! You're making me get off topic! Anyways…..will you go out with me?"

Kagome smiled and then frowned and then smiled again. "Nope." She shook her head once.

"What?"

Kagome laughed at his expression. "I said no."

"And why not?"

Kagome held back another laughing fit when she saw how mad he was getting. "How would you like it if I asked you out over the internet? That's not something I want to brag about to the girls!"

"It works for the people that asked Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, but for me, it's not good enough." He mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing….."

"You could have at least made it sexy or funny." Inuyasha just glared. "I'm kidding….kind of."

"Well, how do you want me to ask you out?"

Kagome looked at him appalled that he asked. "Surprise me! I'll know when you asked me out properly….when I feel it, when I feel it right here." She put a hand over her heart.

"You'll feel it in your boob, what a nice thought."

Kagome took her hand away from her heart. "Stupid, that was my heart. A time when I felt it was when we were leaving that blind spot."

Inuyasha nodded his head. "It's not my fault your stupid friend had to ruin everything."

Kagome made an Excalibur face. (just google it, if you watched Soul Eater, you'll know what I'm talking about.) "That idiot is not my friend."

"Really because you seemed pretty friendly the other day."

Kagome gave an exaggerated sigh. "Get over it! I'm not telling you what he said to me."

Ever since that day when Inuyasha called her beautiful he had been asking her about what Kouga had said to her. Kagome decided not to tell him for many reasons, but he still kept on asking.

"Just tell me so I-"

Inuyasha was cut off by a loud obnoxious voice in the background of Kagome's room.

"Kago!"

Kagome jerked her head to the door. She made a disgusted face when she saw Kouga standing at her door way.

"What do you want?...And don't ever barge into my room again."

"Mom says it's time for you to come downstairs and eat."

"Don't call her that." She turned towards her lap top. "Sorry, but I gotta' go to the dinner from hell. I'll come back on as soon as I'm done."

"Have fun."

"I'll try." Kagome logged off and stood up.

"Well, don't you look beautiful tonight, these are for you." He held out five roses Kagome hadn't even noticed he had.

"I'm in sophies and a Yale University pull over. If this is beautiful to you, you must have low standards." She looked at the roses before taking them and tossing them into the trash. She smiled innocently at him before she headed to the door.

"That wasn't nice." He said following her.

"And that's exactly why I did."

"Come on, forgive me already, grudges aren't cute."

Kagome whirled around. "I'm not holding a grudge and if you think it's not cute that's good."

He put a hand on her shoulder. "What's it going to take for you to forgive me?"

"Considering the fact that I don't like you….hmmm, I'd say….nothing."

"Are you forgetting what we talked about?"

Kagome glared at him. "Not at all, but don't think I'm going to let you run me in my house."

She shrugged his hand off of her shoulder and walked down the stairs. When she was downstairs and in the kitchen with her mother and Kouga's father she smiled.

"Hi Uncle Suno." She said politely.

He got out of his seat and pulled her into a hug. "My, my, my, what a young lady you have grown up to be. It's only been a short period of time but you have gotten so beautiful."

"Thanks." She said with a small blush. "How's the business with the camera thingy going?" She asked making a camera symbol with her fingers.

"It's going better than before."

"Alright, dinner is served." Kagome's mother said setting the last dish on the table.

Kagome took the seat across the table from where Kouga's father sat. She had wanted Kouga to sit next to his father, but of course, he had taken the available seat next to her. Kagome's mother took a seat next to Kouga's father.

"Itadakimasu." They all said before digging into the delicious food Kagome's mother had served.

'Sushi rice, deep fried shrimp, yokisoba chicken, mom made some good stuff today!' Kagome thought excitedly.

She happily put a lot of chicken and rice on her plate before she started eating.

She heard laughter from across the table. "I see you still eat like you have two stomachs."

"I don't think that's ever going to change." Kagome said after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"I don't think it's going to change either, you're very lucky to have such nice food cooked by your mother." He smiled at her mother.

Her mother blushed. "Awe, thanks."

"I only speak the truth."

Kagome's mother giggled like a teenager. Kagome watched them throughout dinner; she prayed to kami that her mother did not have feelings for Kouga's father anymore. He was a good guy and all, but she couldn't stand spending more time with Kouga.

As Kagome was drinking her drink she felt something hit her foot. She was positive she knew what it was, but she just wanted to confirm her thoughts. She looked at Kouga and saw a playful smile on his face.

Yup, her thoughts were confirmed.

Instead of kicking him like she really wanted to do, she just moved her feet to the side away from his so he couldn't try to play footsy with her anymore. After her second serving of food, she decided it was time to go upstairs.

She stood up and was about to excuse herself when her mother asked her to sit back down.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

"Just do it, Kagome." Her mother said with her warning voice.

Kagome slowly sat back down.

"There's something we'd like to discuss with you, kids." Kouga's father said moving his plate out of his way.

'I'm not a kid.' Kagome wanted to say.

There were many things going through her mind, but the most big and worst one that crossed her mind was that their parents were telling them that they were getting back together. Kagome would beg her mother not to get back with him; that's how much she didn't want them to get together.

"Kouga, you know how we'll be in Tokyo for a good three weeks." Kouga nodded his head. "And I've already discussed the plan with you." He said looking at her mother.

Kagome now thought that they were going to be moving into her house. Kagome would probably allow that if it meant she got to sleep at Sango's house for that time.

"But Kagome, you have no idea about what I'm going to ask you."

She had a bad feeling about what was going to come out of his mouth.

He handed her a magazine across the table. Kagome flipped through it.

"I want you and Kouga to do a couple of spreads in this magazine. I was supposed to get another woman professional model, but as it turns out, I waited to the last minute and couldn't get one. You have modeling experience so you'd be perfect. You-"

"No." Kagome said putting the magazine on the table. "Thanks Uncle, but I don't do that anymore."

"But you'll get paid a good amount of money and you cou-"

"Sorry." Kagome said a bit more forcefully. "But I stopped doing this a while ago, so, you're going to have to fund another model."

"Kagome, can I talk to you privately?" Kagome's mother stood up and pulled Kagome into a guest room down the hall from the kitchen.

Kagome looked at her mother angrily. "When did you discuss this? What made you think after all of the stuff I said about not wanting to take anymore pictures that I'd want to take more pictures! ?"

Her mother sighed. "Kagome, just this once. I promise, this'll be the last thing I ask that has to do with modeling."

Kagome turned her back to her. "No, I don't want to do this."

"Kagome, please."

"No, stop asking. You had no right to just sign me up for something like this without my permission. I'm not doing it." Kagome was about to walk out of the room when her mother pulled her back.

"Kagome, I lost my job! If we do not get some money soon I won't be able to pay for the house!"

Kagome's eyes widened. "What did you say?" She turned around to look at her mother. "When?"

Her mother twiddled her thumbs. "When I was on the training trip for my job, I talked back and got in a heated fight with my boss; in the end he fired me."

"And when did you plan on telling me?"

"…Not now. Kagome, I-"

Kagome opened the door to the guest room and walked out. She walked back to the kitchen and waited for her mother to walk out and sit back in her seat. When her mother finally walked back out, Kagome began talking.

Kagome sighed. "I don't want to take anymore pictures." She sat up in her chair. "But…I'll agree to taking them this one time. What kind of photos would they be?"


After a long discussion with Kouga's father, Kagome found out she'd be taking photos very soon. Sometime next week or even this week. She logged back onto skype and smiled when she saw Inuyasha eating ramen.

He held up one finger signaling for her to wait. He slurped up the rest of the ramen that was in his mouth before looking at the screen.

"What's wrong with you?"

"So much crap it's not even funny." Kagome grabbed her pillow and pulled it close.

"Are you going to cry?"

"No!" Kagome said with a shake of her head. She didn't like what was discussed at dinner, but it wasn't enough to make her cry.

"Well, it looks like it, want to talk about it?'

Kagome shook her head. "Nope."

"Do I have to make out with my pillow to get a laugh out of you?"

Kagome started laughing. "No, sir. Thanks for the thought though."

Kagome spent the rest of the night talking to Inuyasha about different things; it helped her forget about the dinner with Kouga.


Kagome waited anxiously in her chair at school. Inuyasha had texted her telling her he had a surprise for her at the end of the day while she was in the middle of the class and now she was looking forward to it.

'Just one more minute until the bell lets out.'

"Miss Higurashi."

Kagome turned towards the teacher who had called her name. "Can you take these to the office?"

Kagome inwardly sighed but went to take the papers from him. She jogged to the office. On her way back, she cussed when she heard the bell ring. She practically fought her way back to the classroom. Going against the flow of students was hell.

She jogged down the school steps after getting her things and happily waved to Inuyasha. She blushed when he kissed her on the cheek as a greeting. They liked each other, but it still felt awkward. They weren't even going out yet!

"Surprise?" She asked.

"Surprise." He pulled out a balloon from behind his back. It was a yellow smiley face balloon.

"Balloon?"

"Balloon." He said with a nod of his head.

"Okay, let's stop with the one words." She took the floating object from him. "Uh…thank you?"

Inuyasha laughed. "Pop the balloon."

Kagome was about to ask how she'd pop the balloon when she thought about just doing it with a pen. She took out her pen and got in the stance to poke the balloon, but then stopped. She hated that feeling of when you pop the balloon and then a loud pop resounded; it was one of the small thrills people get in life. On one hand it was fun, but on the other, it was somewhat scary.

"Pop it." He repeated.

"Okay."

Kagome pulled the pen back farther and then jabbed the balloon with it. She let out a squeak of surprise when confetti flew out and around her. She noticed something had fallen to the floor. She picked it up and read:

.Will you go out with me? This is better than asking you out over the freaking internet. |(-_-)/

Kagome laughed. "Cute way to ask me out, I like the little face at the end."

"So will you?"

"No, sir."

"Why not! ?" Inuyasha was about to start tearing his hair out over this.

"Try again, think of something even more unique. I gotta' say, I really liked this idea though."

"Are you playing hard to get on purpose?" He asked with a sigh.

She pecked him on the cheek. "Maybe I am." With that said she left.

As she walked home, she smiled at what Inuyasha had done. She would've said yes in a heartbeat the first time he asked her out, but she had her reasons for saying no. She was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone rang. She flipped her phone open after seeing Sango's face pop up on the screen.

"Hello?"

"Kagome!"

"What?" She pulled the phone away from her ear as Sango yelled incoherent things into the speaker on her end. "Urusai (Shut up)! I can't understand what you're saying, take it slow."

Sango took in a deep breath of air. "Miroku, is texting some other girl behind my back!"

"Other girl? Who?"

"I don't know! Some chick named Michiko!"

"Michiko…where have I heard that name before….Is she a pop idol?"

"I don't know, all I know is that Miroku and that girl have been talking to each other quite a lot from the looks of the texts and phone calls."

"Well, Sango, I'm not trying to say anything when I say this, but he's not your boyfriend, he's obligated to talk to whoever he wants to." Kagome knew she was digging her own grave, but she decided to throw in some logic.

And that's when Sango exploded. "Come back to school so I can beat you up! Why are you siding with him! ? Are you friends with her! ? Is that why you're supporting Miroku's and her relationship! ?"

Kagome shook her head even though she knew Sango couldn't see it. "Sango, think logically, Miroku is head over heels for you. I promise you he's not …" She was about to say cheating, but they weren't going out. "…seeing another girl at the time. Kami, I understand you like him, but there is no reason to jump to that conclusion-"

Sango cut her off. "I don't like him!" And then Sango hung up.

Kagome sighed and started slipping her phone back into her pocket when it started ringing again. She let out another sigh as The Bed Intruder song played. She flipped it open and put it to her ear.

"Yes, Miroku?"

"Kagome!" He whined into the phone.

"Yeeeees, Miroku." She sung into the phone.

"Sango thinks I'm cheating on her! What do I do! ?"

"Miroku, if you haven't noticed, you're not going out."

"I know, but-"

"Miroku! You're not going out!"

"I know, but-"

"Don't make me repeat myself! Honestly, I think Sango's overreacting; I'll take care of her. Who is this Michiko kid you're talking with?"

"You know her; it's the girl from the party we threw."

"Yea, because I remember talking to only one girl during the party." She said with sarcasm.

"The girl that was with me and she asked you why you were wearing what you were wearing."

"Oh, her! You still talk to her? Well, the only thing I could tell you to do right now is kind of cool it when talking to her. Don't flirt or-"

"That's the thing!" He yelled, causing Kagome to pull the phone away from her ear. "I haven't flirted with her! You know I'm dead set on Sango! All I've done is talk to her; I haven't seen her since the party and we only talk about trivial things!" He pleaded.

"Um, I believe you Miroku, but just cool it with talking to her." She brushed her fingers through her hair and pulled her book bag onto her shoulder. "Just... I don't know, let me just talk to Sango."

"Thank you, Love Guru."

"Yea, yea, that's what the ladies call me. I'll talk to you later."

"K, bye."

After she hung up with Miroku she turned off her phone. All she wanted was a peaceful trip back home.


"I'm home!" She called when she was in the house. She took her phone out of her pocket and turned it back on; the peaceful walk she had wanted was what she got after she turned off her phone.

"Welcome home , honey."

Kagome stopped in her tracks when she walked into the living room. Sitting on her couch was Kouga with his feet on their nice coffee table, with her remote in his right hand, and oh help her god, her Pokémon game in his nasty left hand.

Kagome had to do a retake. She walked back outside, took a deep breath and walked back in. When she walked up the stairs after hanging her coat and scarf on its rack, he was still there. So it wasn't her imagination? He should've hoped it was her imagination.

"Oh heeeeell no!" She threw her book bag on the floor.

'You can put your nasty Nike socks on my table, you can change the channels, but you better hope Buddha will save you from me when you touch my Pokémon game.' She thought stomping into the living room.

Once she was there, she calmly turned off the TV, picked up the legs of his skinny jeans, tossed his feet to the side and onto the floor, and then not so calmly snatched the game from his hand.

"Calm down, what's wrong with you?" He asked nonchalantly.

Kagome looked at the game and nearly had a break down. Not only did he have the nerve to take her game without her permission, but he started a new game over all of her hard work AND THEN named the guy Mr. sexy. Ohhhhhh, hhhhheeeelllllll nnnnnoooo! ! ! !

"Have you lost your ever loving mind?" Kagome asked.

"What?"

"What ! ? What ! ? I know you didn't just ask me 'what?'!" She said mimicking him. "You barge into my house and mess with my game! Get the hell out!" She could've thrown in sooo many other words, but she wasn't sure if her mother was home to hear her.

"No." Was his reply.

Kagome set her game on the table gently before she turned back to him and raised her hand to smack him. As she was bringing her hand down to slap him, he grabbed her hand and yanked her down on top of him.

"Calm down, love. Would a kiss make it all better?" He pecked her on her cheek.

Kagome would rather have acid spilled all over her than have that small peck. She tried to use her other hand to pry his hands off of her wrist when he grabbed her other hand in his free hand.

"Mom!" She called out hoping her mother would come down the stairs to see what kind of a horrible boy her exes son was.

"Went to the grocery store." He switched them around so that he was straddling her. "Remember the good days when we could play around like this?"

"Yea, the days when you were a decent guy to be around. Oh wait, there never was a day like that."

"No need to be mean."

"Get off of me." She said trying to get out from under him.

"No, I like it here. I must say you look good today."

"Pssh, I don't need your compliments, I know I look good today."

She was wearing one of her favorite outfits that she always got compliments on. A simple green Hemline Pocket Top, with dark skinny jeans, a golden necklace, and brown stacked heel boots.

"You're so pretty I could just kiss you!"

That's where Kagome drew the line. She spit on him, she was surprised that the spit didn't fall back on her, but instead flew right at him. (It's gravity people, she's on the bottom of him) He smiled, and to her utter disgust licked the corner of his lip where she had spit on him.

"Yum, cherry flavored."

'Ewwww, what a freak!' And that was when she chose to spit out her Cheerful Cherry gum on him. It kind of pissed her off that she had just popped the long lasting gum into her mouth on her way home and now it was going to waste.

"Don't be like that. Ya know what..." He quickly took one of his hands off of Kagome's to put it in his mouth before tightly grabbing the same hand. "I'll put it back in that pretty little mouth of yours."

"Kouga, stop playing around before I really get pissed." She inwardly sighed. This is not what she wanted to come home to. She tried to knee him in the groin, but he put her in a position where she could barely move her legs.

Kagome turned her head in the opposite direction of Kouga's face whenever he tried to kiss her. After 5 minutes of playing the no-kissing-game her neck was starting to get tired of turning.

She jerked her head to the left at the sound of the door to the garage opening.

"I'm home." She heard her mother call out.

Kouga took that opportunity to grab Kagome's face with his hand and turn it towards him, before crashing his lips onto hers and inserting his tongue and the gum into her mouth. Kagome's eyes widened; she brought her hand up and slapped him the hardest she could before pushing him off of her and onto the floor.

Her mother walked in and took in the scene before her.

She smiled. "Are you guys wrestling like you used to over the summer?"

"Yup, just playing the tickles game, you can see how that turned out." He said pointing to his cheek.

Miss Higurashi laughed. Kagome looked at her mom and then at Kouga before grabbing her back pack and running up the stairs. She slammed the door behind her and locked it. Once she was inside she spat out the gum in her trash can.

"What was that all about?" Miss Higurashi asked worriedly.

"Bad day at school?" Kouga offered.

"Kagome!" Her mother called up the stairs.

"Leave me alone!"

Kagome sat on her bed with her pillow pulled to her chest. She wanted to kill Kouga, and yet, she couldn't. It pissed her off so much how he acted like a sweet little boy in front of adults when he was really just a pig headed jerk.

Kagome jumped when she heard her cell phone ring. It was Inuyasha's ring tone. She debated picking it up and decided she wasn't going to when a tear fell down her face; but when he called a third time she decided too.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hey, why didn't you pick up when I called the first time?"

"I dunno'." She said wiping a couple of more tears away.

"What's wrong?"

"Inuyasha."

"What's wrong! ?" He asked more urgently.

Kagome honestly couldn't believe she was crying. Sure, Kouga had kissed her and pissed her off, but she wasn't sure if it was a justifiable reason to cry.

"Nothing's wrong."

"To hell there's not! Should I come over there?"

"No…"

"I'm gonna' come over there if you don't tell me what the hell is wrong!"

"Meet me at the bench in our park." Kagome hung up after she said that.

It was up to him if he would come or not. She called it their park because normally they went there alone, plus it held some good memories for the both of them.

She dried her eyes, put on a smile and unlocked her door. She would die before letting her mother or Kouga see her crying. She opened the door and quickly went down the stairs. She wasn't surprised to see Kouga on the living room couch again; her mother was sitting next to him.

"Where are you going?" Her mother asked turning on the couch to look at Kagome putting on her shoes.

"Out."

"Put on a scarf and jacket!"

Kagome just walked out the door. She was kind of mad at her mom too; the only logical reason she could come up with for being mad at her was because she left practically a stranger in the house alone. That's dangerous.

She regretted not taking her scarf and jacket with her as soon as she walked out the door. It was freaking cold. (duh, Christmas is right around the corner) She may have been cold, but it wasn't to the point where she'd go back to the house.

Not only would her mother yell at her for completely disregarding what she said, but she'd probably see Kouga with a smirk on his just continued walking.

It wasn't long until she was at her destination. She wasn't surprised that Inuyasha was already sitting at their bench looking around for her. When he spotted her, he jogged up to her.

"Where's your jacket? You're gonna' get sick!" He quickly took off his jacket and put it around her, exposing his red long sleeved shirt.

They walked to the bench and sat down. Kagome realized he would probably be cold too despite him wearing a scarf, so she took one side of the jacket and wrapped it around to the other side of his shoulder. She snuggled in closer and leaned on him.

Being in the position she was felt comfortable, it was hard to believe she had just been so upset.

Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "So what were you so upset about?"

"It's not important anymore."

"You can't just expect me to forget about it like that. You sounded upset, and you even called me out here."

Kagome sighed. She did feel like she owed him an explanation so she explained what had happened from the time she got home to the time where she met him. She felt herself getting mad again as she told him the story.

"I'm going to kill him." Inuyasha said when she finished.

"No, Inuyasha; trust me I would've done it, but it would've just caused problems between Kouga's father and my mother and that's not something she needs right now."

"Keh, you're too nice. I don't care what it would cause, you don't let another guy do that stuff and get away with it. He better hope I don't see him at M.O."

"Inuyasha, don't. I swear I will never talk to you again if you mess with Kouga. Just for now, leave him alone."

"Why are you backing him up? Aren't you the one who should be the most pissed off about this?"

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand. "Promise me that you won't mess with Kouga. I guarantee nothing like this will happen ever again."

"You can't stop that, what if he takes it farther than just that?"

"Inuyasha, Kouga may be some things, but he's not that stupid. Plus, I'm not stupid enough to not tell someone if he does take it farther than that. He should take this as just a warning."

Inuyasha thought about it. He would've said no, but the look she was giving him weighed in. "Fine, but you gotta' tell me if something like this happens again. Stay away from him."

"I will." Kagome looked at the ground. "I hate him." She muttered.

"I do too."

"I feel like using a scrub brush to clean my mouth and lips; I can't believe he put his tongue in my mouth." Inuyasha nodded his head. "Ugh, he even ran it around in my mouth. Who the heck does he think he is? He plays too much, while he was doi-"

"Stop! It's taking every ounce of my power not to kill him and now you're telling me about the way he was kissing you! That makes me want to kill him and do some bad things to his body and then hide it where no one else will ever see it!"

"Inuyasha." Kagome said looking at him. He was just as worked up about the situation as her. "…Sorry."

Inuyasha gave her a sympathetic look. "It's not your fault, it's that idiot's."

"You really know how to make me feel better. I'm really happy you called, thanks for being my best friend."

And that's the problem. He didn't want to be just best friends.

They were looking at each other; Inuyasha's right hand interlocked with Kagome's left. Their bodies touching.

'Now, would be a good time to kiss her.'

Inuyasha leaned down and captured Kagome's lips with his. She didn't protest and moved closer. In that second, Kagome had completely forgotten about Kouga's kiss. They pulled back when they needed some air.

"Ew, I just had an indirect kiss with Kouga." Inuyasha said wiping his lips with his sleeve.

Kagome laughed. "No, you just had a direct kiss with me."

Inuyasha stood up and put the other half of his jacket back on Kagome. "The day is still young, want to go somewhere?"

"Where?"

"Uh, I don't know yet. We'll see." He held out a hand for Kagome to take and pulled her out of her chair.

"But I have homework."

He looked at her with an incredulous look. "You're really going to think about homework while you're with me?"

"No, sorry. Lead the way."

"Let's go get something to eat at the gas station across the street; I'm starving."

"I don't have money with me."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I'm paying, duh."

They walked across the street to a gas station. Inuyasha opened the door for her and let her walk in first.

"I have to make a phone call. You know what I normally get when I go to the gas station, get me that and get whatever you want."

"Okay, thanks."

Inuyasha nodded his head before handing her the money and going outside to make his call. Kagome looked around for Inuyasha's favorite flavor of ice-cream. He had a bunch of things that he liked to eat from the gas station, but she thought he'd enjoy some ice cream.

She grabbed him one of his favorite flavors (Mango ice cream!), grabbed a vanilla Hershey's bar and headed to the cash register. After paying for the things, she grabbed a spoon and headed outside.

Inuyasha had just hung up his phone and turned to walk into the store, but stopped when he saw Kagome walking out. She walked up to him and held out the ice cream.

"Do you really think I want ice cream in the winter?" Inuyasha asked taking it form her.

"….Oh….Sorry."

He took the spoon she offered. "I should make you switch with me, plus I said I wanted to eat. I meant like a hamburger or something."

"Oh well." Kagome said happily biting into her Hershey bar after she got it open.

Inuyasha grabbed her hand. "Come on, we're going this way." Inuyasha said pointing to the park.

"But we just came from there."

"Yea, well we're going back."

Kagome shrugged her shoulders, and followed him to the park. Once they were back at the park Inuyasha told her to sit down while he went off somewhere. She wondered where he was going off to, but didn't question him, she was content not moving and eating.

After ten minutes of sitting alone, she started to dial his phone number. Right when she was about to press the call button he hopped over the bench and sat next to her.

"Where were you?"

"Nowhere." He broke a piece of her Hershey bar and dipped it into his mango ice cream.

"Hey!" She hugged the Hershey bar close to her chest. "Don't touch my Hershey!"

Inuyasha stuck the Hershey bar in his mouth. "It's good, try it."

Kagome didn't want to try it, but she was curious on how it tasted, so she kind of unwillingly broke a piece of her Hershey bar and dipped it into the mango ice cream. She hesitantly put it to her mouth before pulling it away.

"Stop acting like an American and try it!" (a/n: My Asian friend said that to me when I was scared to eat the schools zucchini fries last week. Lol)

She stuck it in her mouth and smiled. "It's good!"

"I know, what's that noise?"

Kagome's ears perked at the sound of a beat playing. A familiar beat Kagome had heard many and many times before. "Oh my goodness, that's the Gotta Catch Em' all song, from Pokémon!" Kagome said excitingly while shaking Inuyasha's arm.

"I know." He said with a smile. He put on Ash's hat from season 1 from the very first Pokémon.

Kagome watched in awe as a guy in a Blaziken Pokémon costume jumped out of a bush.

"I gotta' catch this Pokémon!" Inuyasha said holding out a Pokeball in his hand. There were no words to describe how lame he felt, but since Kagome liked Pokémon he was going to do it for her.

Kagome started cracking up. This was gold.

The Blaziken let out its battle cry before it ran towards him. Kagome watched with pure fascination as Inuyasha dodged the Pokémon.

"Where's the other Pokémon you should own?" Kagome called out.

"At the shop where you buy Pokémon?" Inuyasha had never actually bothered to watch Pokémon as a kid so he didn't exactly know how it worked.

"No! You hunt for Pokémon, on the rare occasion you can get some at a shop, or from another trainer, or you can trade, or get one from Professor Oak or Birch!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. 'Of coarse she'd know that.'

The Blaziken let out another battle cry before it charged at Inuyasha. He dodged it again.

"Use your double kick Blaziken!" Kagome hollered.

The person in the costume looked at Inuyasha; Inuyasha just gave him a look that said do whatever the heck she's talking about. The Blaziken ran up to Inuyasha and then kicked him twice in the stomach causing him to fall down.

Inuyasha glared at the Blaziken before getting up and then tackling the poor thing to the floor and then punching it.

"You think you can kick me and get away with it! ?" He kneed it in the stomach.

After a while of a beating the Pokémon up, Inuyasha got to his feet. He picked up his poke ball and threw it at the Pokémon.

"Get in your poke ball!" Inuyasha said in a warning tone.

The Pokémon limped to the bush it popped out of, grabbed something from its bush, and walked back to its spot. It then pulled the poke ball sleeping bag it grabbed from the bush over its head, zipped it up, and then went into fetal position to give the illusion of it being in a ball form.

Kagome clapped and then ran up to Inuyasha and kissed him on his cheek. "That was awesome! I got the real life Pokémon experience!" The Pokémon came out of its sleeping bag and sat Indian style on the floor. "Who's in the costume?" Said Pokémon pulled off his costume head. "Miroku?"

"I owed him one, I'm never doing that again! I shouldn't have gotten bruises from doing this!"

"Well you kicked me! Twice!"

"She said to do it! It's a Pokémon attack! You still didn't have to nearly kill me!" Miroku said flinging his hands in the air.

"Ask the question!" Inuyasha yelled impatiently.

Miroku sighed before turning to Kagome. He put the head back on and then made the Blaziken battle cry. "That was Blaziken talk for 'Will you go out with me?'" Inuyasha hit him. "I meant Inuyasha."

"Now leave!"

Miroku glared under the mask. 'I really have got to get better friends.'

He limped out of the park, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha to themselves.

"That was my special way of asking you out. So will you go out with me?"

Kagome sighed. "No."

Inuyasha was about to say something, but Kagome cut in. "Is what I want to say, BUT you did all of that for me!" She hugged him. "My answer is yes!"

Inuyasha was shocked, but he hugged her back. "Really?"

"Really really! That was the best way you could ask me out!"

"Well, I guess we're a couple than."

Kagome smiled. "Yea." They walked to the bench and sat down. "How did you plan all of that?"

"Well, I thought of it after school. That's why I was calling you; I wanted to see if you could meet me somewhere, turns out, we'd be meeting at the park."

"I am soooo happy!" She took the hat off of his head and looked at him.

"The hats all yours; I planned on giving it to you anyways."

"Thank you! I'm surprised you could put this together so quickly."

"Well, they have a lot of stores that I've seen with Pokémon crap. Since you said something about a Blaziken a while back I made Miroku get a costume like that.

"Awwwww, you didn't even know what a Blaziken was a while back." She pinched his cheek.

He swatted her hand away. "So….."

"Aww, that's so cute." She paused. "Ya' know…I would've said yes the first time you asked me out."

"Then why didn't you! ? I thought you were starting to not like me!"

"Impossible! We just went on a date like 2 weeks ago and I kissed you a couple of days ago. Anyways, the only reason I said no was because there's just a lot going on right now. I was going to wait until things settled down a bit, but I'm thinking that going out with you wouldn't mess things up."

"Keh, well that's stupid, coarse' it wouldn't mess things up."

"Well, as of now we are a couple. Let's just kind of keep it on the DL."

"Why?" Inuyasha was confused now.

"Well, another problem is Kouga. He'll find some way to either break us up or do something that'll hurt our relationship; he's that kind of guy."

Inuyasha thought about it. "Alright, this stays between you and me, and possibly Miroku because I think he thinks you were going to say yea. What about Sango?"

"I'll tell her probably after Kouga leaves, or maybe I'll just tell her tomorrow or something. She can keep a secret."

"Alright, I'll tell Miroku not to tell anyone."

"Good, well, I guess I should be getting home then."

"It's only five. Let's walk around for a bit." Inuyasha stood up and pulled Kagome to his side.

"Okay." Kagome smiled. 'Oh my goodness! I'm going out with him now!'


Inuyasha had said he wanted to get her home by 7, before it got dark; but they were having too much fun and they ended up getting her home by 9.

He watched Kagome walk up the stairs and then turned around.

"Bye!" She called back.

"Bye." He smiled as he walked away. "It's the fourteenth of December and Kagome is officially my girlfriend." He couldn't keep the huge smile off of his face.

'.'.'.'.

Kagome opened the door to her house and wasn't surprised to see her mother on the couch, no Kouga this time.

Her mother stood up when she heard the door open. "Kagome,where have you been! ?" She sounded worried, but Kagome knew her mom wasn't that worried; if she was, she would've called her cellphone to ask where she was.

"I was out with a friend." Kagome said smiling as she hugged Inuyasha's jacket closer to her. 'A boyfriend.' She thought.

"Who?"

"No one important, why was Kouga here?"

"He was kind enough to come here to personally tell you that the photo shoot you two will be doing is sometime next week. I was appalled at the way you acted, as soon as I came in you suddenly got all cold hearted to him."

"No, mom. You don't understand."

"I know what's going on. You're trying to keep your relationship with Kouga away from me." Her mother crossed her arms over her chest. "Kouga told me."

Kagome's eyes widened. "What did you say? Kouga told you what?" It took a lot for Kagome to keep herself from screaming.

"He told me about how you guys were trying to keep your relationship a secret, good thing I walked in at the right time or I would've been kept out on the secret." It wasn't until then that her mother noticed something. "Whose jacket is that? And where'd you get that hat?"

Kagome looked at the jacket. "No ones."

"Are you cheating on Kouga! ?" Her mother sounded like a teenage girl.

"NO!" That was the truth. She wasn't going out with him, so she couldn't cheat on him.

"Whose jacket is that?"

"A friends." Kagome said going up the stairs.

She closed the door behind her and kicked off her shoes. She was panicking in her head. She wanted to deny going out with Kouga so much that it hurt, but she wanted to know what he was planning. Why would he tell her mother that?

'What the hell is Kouga planning?'


"Aaaahhhhh." Kagome yawned. She was working at the bar at M.O. the next day. Inuyasha waved and Kagome waved back.

"Who are you waving at?" Sango asked.

"No one special." Kagome said drinking out of her sprite bottle.

Kagome had talked to Sango that night and convinced her that she was being irrational and not being fair to Miroku. Sango forgave Miroku and happily chatted with him when she got to work. It was almost as if she hadn't been ready to kill him.

"So, you and Miroku made up?"

"He said he'd stop texting her as much as he does, so of course I forgave him."

"Good, good. I'm glad you came to your senses." Kagome started drinking out of her sprite bottle again.

Sango tilted the bottle up, causing the drink to spill out and into Kagome's nose and onto her clothes.

"It burns!" Kagome said fanning her nose.

"That's what you get! My senses? I'll have you know I've been with my senses, I didn't come to them!"

"And that's a valid reason to pour sprite down my nose! ?" She grabbed a napkin from under the counter.

"Nice bra, can I borrow it?"

Kagome looked down, only to see her black lace bra showing through her shirt. "Dammit, Sango!" A couple of men walking by whistled. "Fix this!" She said pointing to her shirt.

"Sorry, I don't have my senses."

"How about I dump water on you and see if they'll come swimming back?" Kagome asked using a napkin to wipe off the sprite.

"Just take off the shirt and wear one of our back up dance shirts."

"Well, if Myouga sees me in another shirt that's not for work, I'll get work suspension."

"Eh, then there's nothing I can do." Sango said shrugging her shoulders.

"Switch shirts with me!"

"No! I don't want people to see my bra!"

"Well-"

Kagome stopped talking when she heard the music being shut off, and the speakers come on."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Miroku said like Fat Albert. People laughed. "Are ya'll havin' a good night tonight?" He heard all sorts of responses that he didn't bother trying to listen to. "Well, I'll turn back on the music in a second; I just wanted to congratulate the new couple Inuyasha and Kagome." Spotlights shone on the two.

Kagome quickly put her hands over her chest to cover up her bra. Both had shocked faces. She was more so terrified than anything. And Inuyasha's face was….a sexy kind of what-the-fuck look. Kagome looked at him as if to say 'I thought you told Miroku not to tell anyone!' He looked back with an 'I forgot.' look.

The spot lights faded out. People clapped and cheered.

Kagome was thinking worst case scenario. What if Kouga was there somewhere listening to this? Well, he would've come to bother her if he was in the club, right?

"Now…" Miroku continued. "You can call them their new names, Inugome, Kagyasha, Ingoshme, Kauygo..and those were about all I could think of."

'Sweet Buddha, help me!' Kagome inwardly pleaded.

Sango looked like she was about ready to kill Kagome.

"I can explain." Kagome said hopping over the counter to get closer to Sango.

"You got one second before I kill you."

Rule number uno. Don't keep secrets from Sango.

"I…uh…Well yeste-"

"Uno." Sango went to grab Kagome, but Kagome ran into the dance crowd.

There was no chance Sango would find her in the dance pit. Like predicted, Kagome was right. She ran out of the dance pit after five minutes and into Myouga's office room.

"Myouga, sorry I ran in here, it's just chaotic out there."

"Who's watching the bar?" He asked.

"Uh…..Inuyasha…" Kagome said lying.

"Okay." He said not looking up from the paper work he was looking at.

"So, whatcha' up to in here?"

"Nothing."

Kagome slipped the paper he was reading out from under his tiny body. "Myouga….This is quite an expensive bill….from 3 months ago? You didn't pay it?"

"Well….the income was a bit low 3 months ago so no."

"What about the bills from this month, or the last two! ?" She looked at the stack of what looked like bills on the side of his desk. She picked them up and read them, sure enough, they were bills. "Myouga, this is a lot of money! It's going to take months to pay this off."

"Uh…" Myouga had a nervous look on his face.

"If you keep this up Mayonaka's going to close down! You need to do something!" Kagome would've started shaking him if he was a bit bigger.

"Well, we need more business. I did what I could when I hung up posters around all of Japan!" He exaggerated.

"Ugh, well…I'll think of a way to bring in a lot of business. 5 times more business, no 50 times more business."

"Really?"

"Yea, just….try to earn more cash! I thought we were making more than enough!"

"Yea, so did I."

Before Kagome could reply they both turned their heads when they heard the door open. Inuyasha walked in. Kagome looked at Myouga to ask if she could tell him, but he shook his head almost as if he knew what she'd ask.

"It's crazy out there." Inuyasha said.

"Who's watching the bar now?" Myouga asked.

"….Miroku?" Horrible lie, since Miroku was on d.j. duty tonight; he honestly didn't know who was watching the bar. "What's going on in here?"

"Nothing….I just, came in here to hide from Sango and get an extra shirt." She said with a blush.

Myouga and Inuyasha looked at her shirt and blushed as well.

Inuyasha quickly pulled Kagome to his chest when he saw Myouga's look linger.

"Kagome, what a nice choice in bra design you have."

"Thanks, Victoria Secret all the way." Kagome said happily.

"Don't thank him!" Inuyasha picked up a vase and threw it at him. "Do you have another shirt, you pedo."

"As a matter of fact I don't. Kagome, I'll pay you extra to walk around like that." Myouga said with a wink. Inuyasha threw another vase at him. "Just kidding!"

"Here." Inuyasha took off his shirt.

"Ohhhh, Inuyasha, I'll pay you extra to walk around shirtless." Myouga said looking at Inuyasha.

"Deal."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome didn't want other girls staring at her boyfriend's abs; besides, if she wasn't getting paid extra why should he?

"Just put on the shirt."

"Fine." Kagome slid on the oversized shirt. She rolled up her sleeves and then put her hair in a side pony tail. "What do you think? Can I please get paid extra for this?"

"Yes!" Myouga said looking at her. The shirt went down to her midthigh, so it looked like she was just wearing panty hose with heels and an oversized shirt and the tie she was wearing poked out from the shirt. Almost like a daddy want to be, it was cute….or if you looked hard and thought hard….a girl who just got back from a good night.

"No!" Inuyasha did not want other guys staring at his girlfriend. She looked cute, but that was only for his eyes.

"Yes, getting paid extra, getting paid extra!" Kagome sung as she left out the room. She had been kidding about getting paid extra, but she was happy she was. Or she would be if she hadn't just decided to give Myouga her paychecks for now on. If she could save the club even a dollar, she would; this place was home to her.

"Get back here!" Inuyasha said going after her.

Myouga sighed as Inuyasha slammed the door behind him. "Kids…."
