ok getting another chapter done quickly. like i said last time i kinda went off my plan last chapter so now i have to make a few changes to this chapter. i hope you like it. i do not own mew mew power or inuyasha
it was a restless night for both inuyasha and zoey, each because of the other person. zoey stayed up most of the night thinking about how she had admitted to not just herself, but also all of the other mews that she did like inuyasha. and yet even though it should have made her feel happy, she couldn't rid herself of the thought that inuyasha wouldn't like her back even though her friends had given her countless reasons as to why it was obvious he did. inuyasha was up though for a slightly different thoughts were plagued by that seemingly innocent kiss on the cheek, and if it actually meant something more.
"did it mean she liked him? could she really like someone like him? but it was just a kiss on the cheek? but what if it wasn't just a thank you kiss?" he thoughts were racing through all these questions, trying to find the answer to just one, yet never succeeding. "what about kagome?" his face darkened as her name came to his thoughts. "why should he care what she thought, she kissed that homo guy first." inuyasha told himself this over and over again, but it never helped to relive the sense of guilt he felt. she was the first person to accept him, even as a half demon. the person who taught him how to have friends, and to care for someone other then yourself. could he really just forget about her, after all they had been through. the night carried on like this for the both of them, offering them neither sleep nor peace. eventually the sun began to rise above the horizon, stirring the other mews from their peaceful sleep with it's beautiful orange hue.
"mmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhh, what a good night sleep." corina groaned as she awoke from her sleep. "not as nice as sleeping in my expensive, imported bed, but still good."
"yep, yep, yep, i slept real good. i even had a dream about mountains of ice cream and i got to eat all of it by myself. it was yummy." kikki yelled as she jumped up from her sleeping bag
"hey zoey didn't you get any sleep, you have some bad bags under your eyes." Bridgett asked zoey as she looked at zoey's sunken and tired face.
"no not really, i just couldn't seem to fall asleep that's all." zoey told her friends, hoping they wouldn't pry any further.
"hmm, ok well how about some breakfast everyone. i know how to make a mean omelet." corina said, dropping the subject.
"you know how to cook? i thought that everything was made for you by your personal chefs." zoey said
"well, they don't live here. i needed to know how to make myself something so i didn't starve." corina said with a face that made it seem like she was better then everyone else because she knew how to make a omelet.
"ok well then let ea.." just as zoey was about to finish her sentence, the sound of the doorbell rang out through the entire household. "here I'll get it, you guys just go and start breakfast, I'll be there in just a minute." zoey told the others with a wave of her hand. zoey had started to jog over to the door after the impatient person at the door was continuing to ring the doorbell every 5 seconds. she had just gotten to the door when the mystery person had resorted to just pounding the door with his fist over and over again. "ok, ok, hold your horses, I'm coming." she yanked open the door expecting to see a sales man or one of those people trying to get you to join their religion, but instead she found inuyasha standing with a confused expression all over his face
"hold my horses? i don't have any horses, and why would i hold them?" inuyasha asked zoey not understanding the expression.
"it's just an expression, it means to wait a minute, but anyway, why are you here?" zoey was now fully awake as she scrambled to think of how she looked. she had just woken up, probably looked terrible, and here was inuyasha seeing her in a state of bed head and disarray
"you told me to pick you up in the morning yesterday, and here i am. are you ready to go?" inuyasha was now very confused. hadn't she asked him to come by here? did she really not care about him so much that she had already forgotten that he was coming to get her. he felt his heart begin to sink as he thought of her caring about him so little.
"oh, sorry inuyasha, i hadn't forgotten it's just really early and i just woke up. my brain is still trying to start up." zoey only just noticed how dejected his face had become and thought she had hurt his feelings when he thought she forgot about him. "well were about to have breakfast, so i can't leave right now, but would you like to come in a eat. were going to make omelets."
"feh, whatever." inuyasha replied turning his head away from her to hide his blush from actually being invited to breakfast by zoey. inuyasha entered the doorway and could only gasp in awe at the size of the house that the young girl lived in. (means corina, not zoey) "hey, i thought people didn't live in castle in your time."
"no, it's not a castle, in our time we call the mansions, though hers is probably as big as a castle." zoey told inuyasha
"oh, ok." as they walked towards the kitchen with inuyasha following zoey, inuyasha couldn't help but watch as zoey's hips swayed in rhythm as she walked. how she already had a great figure, with thin and toned legs. she was beautiful inside and out and this only mad inuyasha's inner conflict grow. even after what kagome had done to him, he still had feelings for her, just like how when he was with kagome, he still had feelings for kikyo. he just didn't want history to repeat itself again. sure he liked zoey, but he didn't want kagome to die in order to have her. he was shaken awake from his thoughts when he felt someone grabbing his hand and pulling him along
"come on inuyasha, we do want to get there before they start lunch you know." zoey said as she squeezed his hand even tighter, which only made inuyasha's blush grow even redder. "hey guy, um, do you think it would be ok if inuyasha joined us breakfast. i told him to pick me up in the morning, and he came a little early."
"sure, it's ok. corina made extra in case anybody was still hungry." bridget said with a kind smile.
"thanks." zoey said before looking towards inuyasha. "lokks like there's only two seats left, so you can just sit by me ok."
"uh, yeah sure, no problem." inuyasha tried to say in the calmest voice he could muster. inuyasha and zoey walked over to the two open chairs sitting across from corina and rene. (shocker. hahaha, you got to love how their is usually atleast one lesbian character in animes.) and took a seat in the chair to the left of kikki. inuyasha was just about to take his first bite of the fluffy egss when corina nearly made him chock.
"so inuyasha, how long have you and zoey been dating?" corina asked without even looking up from her food.
"w-what! were not dating." inuyasha nearly screamed at corina and zoey looked like she could die from embaressment
"wellll, you could have fooled me. you taking her to and from places, bringing her whatever she needs on a moments request. i'm just saying, it sure looks like your dating to me."
"well you should just mind your own buisness!" inuyasha retorted right back and while it may not have meant much to anyone else at the table, it made zoey's heart jump for joy.
(italicized words from now on are going to what the characters are like actually thinking in their heads.)
"wait, why didn't he deny it? i would have understood, after all it's not like were actually dating or anything, but he said it as if he didn't want other people to know. what does that mean?" zoey thought this as she stared at inuyasha's downcast face, trying to hide whatever emotion that was plastered to his face.
"ok,ok, fine but just tell me this. why would you purposly go out of your way and run all the way from the cafe to here, just to give zoey back her pjs? i mean i could understand something like her wallet or a purse, but to run that far for something as insagnificant as a cheap $15 pair of pjs, there has to be a deeper reason then being nice. riiight?" corina asked inuyasha hoping to pull the truth out of him even if it killed her.
"hey my pjs are not cheap, and they did not cost only $15!" zoey retorted to corina.
"well inuyasha, were waiting." corina said, ignoring zoey's remark completly.
"why should i tell you? it's my buisness and only mine." inuyasha retorted, determined to mask any feeling he has for zoey from others. "are you ready to go now zoey?"
"oh, um sure inuyasha." zoey said before turning to the other mews to say her goodbyes. "well see you guys later."
"but zoey, you hardley touched your eggs." bridget called out to zoey as she left.
"yeah i guess i just wasn't that hungry, sorry guys." zoey called back.
"well, bye you guys, oh and inuyasha whenever you want to admit your fellings about zoey just let us know, we'll be happy to listen." corina yelled knowing inuyasha would hear with his super human hearing.
"shut up." was all corina heard before inuyasha opened and shut the door with a slam as he left the mansion.
(WITH INUYASHA AND ZOEY)
they glided across the tops of the buildings as inuyasha used his demonic strength to push himself and zoey across the gaps between the buildings leading towards zoey's house. by know he knew zoey's scent well enough that he could easily find her house no matter where he was. zoey was once again on inuyasha's back with her head in the center of his back to protect her from the wipping winds, and also, know only to her, to be able to feel his entire body move and flex, to hear his heartbeat pulse as he jumped and ran. they reached her house after about 10 minutes. inuyasha was headed towards her bedroom window like last time but zoey instead pointed him towards her front door. they landed softly at the entrance to her house, and zoey quickly slid off of inuyasha's back to enter her house. but when she grabed the handle she found it locked.
"uh, why is the door locked? i thought my parents said they would be waiting for me. where could they have gone?" zoey said to herself forgetting inuyasha was there with her. "they could have at least left a note."
"you mean like this?" inuyasha said holding up a note in his hand. "i found it in your mail box, they must have left it for you.
"here give me that." zoey said yanking the paper out of inuyasha's hand, and read it outloud. "dear zoey, we have gone to your grandparents' house to visit, we will be back around 4. there is food in the fridge, and you have money if you need anything else. call us if there us if there is an emergency. love, mom and dad." zoey finished reading with a look for terror on her face. "oh man there not coming back till 4, and i'm locked out of the house"
"don't you have keys to get you in if it's locked?" inuyasha asked the distressed zoey
"no, i thought my parents would be here when i got back so i didn't grap them on my way out of the house. oh, what am i going to do for 7 hours?" zoey said hanging her head in defeat.
"well we could... you know, do something or whatever to pass the time." inuyasha said keeping his blush hidden as much as he could.
"y-you mean, like a d-date?" zoey asked unable to keep her own blush from showing on her face.
"well, i mean, maybe not a date, but ummm, you know just like a..." inuyasha said trying to find the right word to describe what he had just just proposed to her.
"like a date." zoey said with a small giggle at how hard inuyasha was trying to say something so simple.
"yeah, like a date" inuyasha said defeated, finding no other word that fit this situation.
"sure inuyasha, i would love to go on a date with you." zoey told inuyasha with a warm smile
inuyasha felt like his heart would break out of his rib cage as her words began to process in his brain. she had just accepted a date, with him. he didn't know what to do, he was stunned silent as he triend to grasp just what this really meant.
"so inuyasha what do you want to do then? we have 7 hours to kill, and an entire city to enjoy."
"well, umm, how about a movie. that's about 2 hours right off the bat." inuyasha said, hoping zoey would like his idea
"sure, a movie sounds like a great idea to me. let me just see how much money i have on me and.." zoey started, but inuyasha cut her off with his hand.
"no need, i'll pay for everything. after all i am the one who asked you out on this...*cough* date."
"since when do you have money inuyasha?"
"well, elliot figured that since i was working at the cafe, he might as well pay me for my time." inuyasha told zoey
"ok, well then how about we walk to the movies. it'll burn more time and we can really talk to each other." zoey said, hoping inuyasha agreed
"sure, but where is the movie theater?"
"i believe it is... this way." zoey said pointing to her right and started walking with inuyasha in toll, hand in hand. the first part of their walk was plaqued by awkward silence, each of the two too embaressed and shocked by the fact that they were on a date with each other to talk. it was zoey who broke the silence first.
"so inuyasha, what do you think of the other girls so far." zoey looked to inuyasha for his answer.
"well, so far i think they are pretty nice. corina is a pain with how lazy she is, and how she always acts like she knows everything, but she grows on you after awhile, rene is alot like my brother in her own way. she likes to put up an air of superiority, and disconcern about others, but sometimes even she lets down her guard and in the end i think she really enjoys being with you guys, being able to have fun and laugh. bridget, i'm not really sure about her, she doesn't say much but she seems very caring about others. so she seems ok to me. kikki, well she can be a bit of a hassle, but i really do enjoy being around her. like i said she reminds me alot about this kid who followed our group around. annoying, but i cared for him, almost like a son. and then there's you, and honestly i just don't know what to think about you.
"what do you mean?" zoey said, praying that he didn't mean that in a bad way.
"well your smart, and funny, kind, forgiving, you know how to kick but, but also know how to comfort someone in their time of need. and you always know just what to say at the right time, not to mention how beautiful you are." inuyasha and zoey both blushed at this part of inuyasha's speach.
"you really think i'm beautiful?" zoey asked, looking deep into inuyasha's eyes.
"yeah, i mean everything about you just makes = me go crazy when i look at you, but in that also lies the problem." inuyasha told zoey
"what do you mean?"
"well, i just, uhhhh, how do i say this without you thinking i don't care about you. well lately i have been thinking about the girl i told you about when we first met in the park, and what she means to me." inuyasha said watching to see how she would react to this news, and he was upset by what he saw.
"oh, i see." zoey said with a down cast heart. "he still hasn't gotten over his last girlfriend yet, which means there isn't much room for me in his heart right now."
"no, no don't get upset. it doesn't mean i don't like you, it's just i'm not sure how i should feel about the other girl. i mean she was the first person who ever cared for me as i was, as a half demon." inuyasha told zoey trying to make her understand his situation.
"oh yeah, speaking of which, what do you guys mean by half demon? i just thought that kid and old amn called you it because they didn't know just what a mew mew was." zoey asked trying to figure out just what inuyash's history was.
"well, you remember when elliot said that while i was part mew mew, that i had some kind of strange gene mixed with it?"
"yeah." zoey replied
"well, i come from an era where it is filled with both humans, and demons, not like the little red ones with horns, but demons of dogs, and cats, and every other type you could imagine. the humans and demons share a mutual hate for each other that has led to death and war, but in some cases, a demon and human have learned to love each other. thouse two people create what i am know as... a half demon. i have both human and demon blood in me, and that has caused me problems in my past. see half demeons are shunned by both humans and demons, humans because of their demon blood and by demons for their human blood. so that is what i mean by half demon, a freak of nature if you will." inuyasha finished his explanation with a look of sadness that told zoey that he wasn't kidding when he said it caused him problems.
"ok, so this other girl was the first one who accepted you as a half demon, right?" zoey asked, awnting to make sure she had all of her facts right.
"yeah, which is why it is hard to like you at the same time as her. i know she kissed another guy, but i mean it's not like we were actually going out, but i just thought maybe we could be one day. but seeing her kiss that guy just made me lose it, and well you know the rest. know i don't know what to do. i know she's sorry for kissing that guy but i really like being here with you, ummm you guys you know everyone.
"well inuyasha, and i know this sounds pretty corney but, you just have to follow your heart. find what really matters to you in both places and decide which is so important you just couldn't live without it. that's how you'll know how to pick between us.
"feh, i could have thought of that." inuyasha said embarressed that zoey had made such a simple plan before he could even start to wrap his head around the situation.
"but you didn't. oh shoot!" zoey said looking at her watch. "come on inuyasha were going to be late for the movie." zoey finished speaking by grabbing inuyasha's hand and running towards the movie theater. they had arrived just in time to get two tickets to "Transformers Dark Of The Moon" (do not own Transformers Dark Of The Moon, and i am making it like one of the old theaters that only show one movie at a time, so the only one they could see was Transformers Dark Of The Moon.) inuyasha quickly paid for the tickets, popcorn, and drinks and they took their seats in the back of the movie theater.
"wow, there's hardley anyone here." zoey said to inuyasha looking around the theater, finding only 4 other people who were seeing the movie with them. they though were sitting at the front of the room and seemed to all know each other as they chatted away with each other.
"must be because it's been out for awhile. everyones already seen it by now." inuyasha told zoey, silently thanking god that he was going to be basically alone with zoey in a dark theater.
"hmmm, lights went out, the movie must be starting." zoey said noticing the lights had started to slowly dim.
the movie started, after what seemed like hours in previews, and inuyasha and zoey were guinely enjoying it, each for there own reason, and yet the same reason. inuyasha was enchanted by the fact that they could make moving pictures look like this with so many explosions and high speed action. he was also reveling in the fact that right next to him was zoey. zoey on the other was encanted by the tale of romance that this movie was able to blend in with all the action and explosions, betwwen two people who you would just never expect to see together. just like someone else she knew. she looked over to her left and saw inuyasha sitting there, engulfed in the movie. she could only think about how they were alot like the characters in the movie, both brought together by circumstances they couldn't control, both were faced against seemingly insermountable odds. both seemed like an odd couple yet the people in the movie were together, so did she and inuyasha really have a chance as well. she continued to stare at inuyasha and eventually he noticed. he turned his head towards zoey and saw her staring right back into his eyes, with a look he knew well enough. (now just to make it really cheezy, i am having it so that in the movie it is the part where they are having almost like a slow motion kiss with each other.) he dipped his face down towards zoey's face, as she bagn to draw her face closer to his. there lips were only a inch apart (sound familiar yet, go to the last chapter and you can guess what might be coming next.) when they heard an loud gasp from somewhere in the theater and they could guess that it wasn't from the movie. both opened their eyes to see that the 4 others in the theater were actually the other girls and whether they knew it or not, they had just ruined the moment with their gasping.
"WHY ARE YOU GUYS HERE!" zoey srceamed at the mews down in the thaeter seats.
"well we were just walking by and decided to see a movie, and wouldn't you know it, we found you guys here. isn't that a weird coincidence." corina said with a nervous chuckle and sweat runing down her face. (anime sweat, like where there look like there are thousands of drops runing down there face at once.)
"i thought you said we were spying on them to prove they were going out, and that inuyasha was just to stupid to admit it earlier." kikki said, making corina sweat even harder
"hahaha, kids just say the craziest things sometimes don't they. i mean i would never want to spy on you guys."
"huh, i can't believe you guys, i mean you were actually spying on me and inuyasha, and ruined our not date, date." zoey said
"well, looks like the movies over anyway, so lets just go." inuyasha said grabbing zoey's hand gently causing her to blush madly (not like angrily, but just very very much).
TO BE CONTINUED.
well everyone i have got to say that this idea for the date and later on was so long i have to split it up into two chapters. this is the longest chapter i have written so far, and it could be even longer i i hadn't split it up. so don't get confused when it starts up where we left off in this chapter. also for all of you people who want a big fight scene, don't worry, i promise in the chapters to come there will be a good battle, i promise. (it won't end in 10 seconds like my last ones did either.) so enjoy
