Chapter 12: Double Date
Inuyasha is in the security room, observing from in and out of the mansion and out of the barrier. One monitor gets his attention.
Outside of the barrier, Kikyo and Ai are at the same spot the first time they were trying to find Kagome. "Kikyo, how is it that we'll be able to get through the barrier?" Ai asks her daughter. Kikyo takes the stolen ID card along with its information. "I can find the source of the barrier." She answers as she aims the area, hoping she can find the source.
Inuyasha chuckles as he controls the card with new codes to alter the card's effect. Kikyo's laptop beeps like crazy as well as the card itself. "What's happening?" Kikyo asks as she is forced to drop the card onto the ground. She grabs Ai and got out of the way before the card blew up. "What was that all about?" Ai ask as she goes to the debris.
"That there ladies, is a counterfeit." Inuyasha chuckles as he leans back in his chair. "Nice try, but you won't get in that easy." He comments their failure. His phone goes off. "Hello?" he picks up the phone. "Inuyasha did those girls used the fake card?" Sesshomaru asks. Inuyasha smugs. "Oh yeah and it blew up, losing their chance to rescue Kagome, goes up in smoke." Inuyasha said as he sees the girls going back to town. "Good, I'm gonna upgrade your security system." He offers. "Great thanks." Inuyasha then hangs up.
Sesshomaru is in his private office. "That was close. I almost lost Inuyasha's cover." He said with relief. When he found out that Kikyo stole his ID card, He reprogrammed it into a bomb so she wouldn't be able to get in. Luckily he got a new ID card, and it only can be used from his DNA. "I just hope Inuyasha's inner demon doesn't go crazy because it's mating season." He reminds himself. He looks towards a glass case with a katana. "Tetsusaiga, if he does, protect him." He asks the weapon as it pulses in respond.
Inuyasha leaves his security room and heads to the kitchen. His stomach growls, telling him that it's time to eat. He comes into the kitchen and finds Kagome fiddling around on her laptop, looking pretty bored. "Kagome? You okay?" He asks with concern as he comes up to her. Kagome looks up, "I'm just worried about that Koga guy. He seemed pretty serious about me going out with him. She said with a sigh. Inuyasha's inner demon is at its breaking point, but with Kagome's scent calms him down. Then an idea hits in. "How about you go out with me instead?" Inuyasha offers. Kagome looks to him. "Do you want me to take me on a date?" She asks specifically. To. Inuyasha smiles softly to her," Yeah and protect you from Koga." he clasps her hand with his. "His touch makes her smile, "Why not?" Hearing such a positive tone from her voice, he slowly and gently hugs her, much to Kagome's Surprise.
Miroku and Sango witnessed the scene in the security room. "I knew that they belong together." He comments with a grin, "I agree. Let's make it a double date" She suggests. Miroku grins even more. "I'd like that, Miroku. But one condition though." She points with her index finger. "If you do one perverted move, I'm done." She pokes him on the chest as a warning. "Sure." He nervously laughs for a respond.
Later that night, Kagome and Sango are getting dresses up in nice dresses. Kagome is in a fit dark green dress down to her knees. She has her hair in a bun, along with gold loop earrings. Sango has her hair in a ponytail twist with her dark pink dress to her knees as well. She has Kagome in the process of makeup. She puts on mascara, lip gloss, and eye shadow. "Okay. I'm ready." She said as the put on low heel sandals and head to the front door.
Inuyasha and Miroku are already down. "What's taking them so long?" Inuyasha asks with impatience in his voice. Miroku grabs him by the shoulder, "Relax. Girls take more time to get ready for something. Just be patient." He calms Inuyasha down. Inuyasha is wearing a red polo shirt with black slacks on. Miroku on the other hand is wearing a dark purple polo shirt with khakis on. Soon a pir of footsteps get their attention as Kagome and Sango come down the stairs. The boys' jaws dropped big time for how hot the girls were in their outfits for tonight. "Inuyasha, you okay?" Kagome asks as she waves her hand in front of his face. Inuyasha quickly shakes his head to bring himself back into reality. "Uh, yeah. I'm fine." He responds as he gestures his arm. Kagome shyly takes it and left the mansion with Miroku and Sango right behind them.
Inuyasha has his red Chevy Blazer and opens the door for Kagome. "Thank you." She smiles to him as she gets in. Inuyasha closes the door and went to his side. Miroku has his black Ford Escort and does the same routine to Sango. "Thanks, kind sir." She politely said. Inuyasha and Miroku pull out of the driveway and put on an invisibility effect on their vehicles so they no one can find them. The two cars enter the town that Kagome and Sango went earlier. "How about dinner?" Inuyasha offers, even to Miroku car's with a walkie-talkie in both vehicles. "Sounds good to me." Sango replies as her stomach growls telling that she's hungry, which she blushes. They pull into a restaurant parking lot. The boys parked right next to each other. They both come out and open the doors to let their dates out. "Shall we?" Inuyasha offers his hand to Kagome. "We shall." She takes his hand and make their way to the restaurant.
When they enter the restaurant, a man at the podium bows to them, "Mr. Takahashi, it's an honor to welcome you and your party to Applebee's (Love It)." Inuyasha smiles to the man as he gets four menus for them and escorts them to an empty table on the side of the aisle by the window. Inuyasha and Miroku gesture their dates to go in first. "After you." They both said to them. After the girls get themselves comfortable in their seats. "Thanks." Kagome blushes and slightly looks away. Inuyasha secretly smiles as he sits by her in his seat. Miroku and Sango observe them, unknowingly that Inuyasha and Kagome are in their little world. "Aren't they adorable?" Sango whispers to Miroku. Miroku agrees with her. Ever since Kagome came to the mansion, Inuyasha couldn't help to care, let alone love and protect her.
Outside the restaurant, Koga is walking by and spots Kagome through the window and can see how Inuyasha is wrapping his arm around her shoulder intimately. From the look of his face, how his golden eyes looking down into her chocolate brown eyes with love and affection. Koga growls as he hide his anger and makes his way into the restaurant. Inuyasha picks up his scent and spots him at the doorway. "Inuyasha? Is something wrong?" Kagome asks him worryingly. Without a second thought, Inuyasha grabs her hand and quickly left the restaurant through the back door.
By the time the Inuyasha and Kagome snuck out, Koga heads to the table, only to be occupied by Miroku and Sango in the middle of their dinner. "Ok where are they?" Koga asks rudely as well slamming his hands onto the table. "What are you talking about, Koga? Can't you see that Miroku and I are having dinner?" Sango glares due to his interruption. Koga glares back, "Nice try, Sango. I know that mutt-face has my woman and I must know where they are." He demands the couple. "Koga, we don't have to tell you anything." Miroku replies with annoyance. Soon the manager comes to the table. "Ma'am what seems to be the problem?" She asks Sango. "This man is disturbing our date and he won't leave us alone." Sango replies to the manager's question. "Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to leave." The manager politely demands Koga. Koga growls as he leaves the restaurant. After he left Miroku looks out the window. "I just hope Inuyasha and Kagome are alright, wherever they are." He said before continuing his meal.
Meanwhile Inuyasha has Kagome on his back running out of town making sure that Koga hasn't caught up to them. After a good amount of time to escape from him, Inuyasha stops on a random plateau overlooking the town. "We're safe up here." He said as he let Kagome get off his back. Kagome looks around herself; Off the cliff to view the town they were in with a starry sky and merely lit Old Crescent. Inuyasha smiles as he takes her hand in him own. Kagome looks down to the clasped and then up to him. She startles as he wraps his arms and jump onto the highest tree branch of a random tree.
