Kagome lay in bed and stared at the ceiling.
'InuYasha and I haven't even kissed yet' she thought sullenly.
Souta came in her room and said "Hey, your boyfriend is here."
Kagome sat up surprised. "InuYasha's here?"
"You know, I thought you would have said 'he's not my boyfriend' again" he said leaving her room.
Kagome's face was red when InuYasha walked in.
"Hey babe" he said kissing her on the forehead and sitting on the bed next to her.
"Hey. InuYasha." She paused. "What exactly… are we?"
"Well… what do you want us to be, because I'm on the track to making you my girlfriend."
Kagome was shocked by his forwardness and blushed. "Oh, well, I'm fine with that." She smiled "So what did you come over for?"
"Oh, I came over to ask you to prom"
"Well, InuYasha I think I'd have to say… yes" she said leaning into him.
"Good" he placed a hand in the back of her hair and brought her face to his.
Souta opened to door, "Hate to break up your almost kiss, but-"
"What Souta?" Kagome said slightly annoyed that her almost kiss had been broken up.
"Mom's home."
"Children I'm back!" Kagome's mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"No! Not right now! InuYasha I would like to apologize for anything she says in advance." She said regretfully.
"It can't be that bad." He said and the Higurashi siblings looked at him then at each other.
From the look they shared InuYasha could tell something was up.
Kagome's mother pushed the door open and stepped inside. She was wearing a white collared shirt with a knee length black skirt and black patent leather shoes.
"Hello Souta, Kagome. Who is this boy?" she said looking InuYasha over snidely.
"This is InuYasha." Kagome answered crossly.
"And what is he doing up here in your room?"
"Mother, do not talk about him like he isn't here!"
"Well you, InuYasha boy, what are you doing up here in my daughters room?"
"I came over to ask Kagome to the prom." He said in a firm voice.
Kagome looked pleased.
"And what are your intentions with my daughter?"
"Mother you don't have to act like you care." Kagome said crossing her arms.
"Kagome you very well know, that I care about my children!" her mother spat defensively
"No you don't. You just proved it. You talk to me as if I'm not a child of yours. We're better off when you're gone with your boyfriend. Having you here is such a pain in our necks that we can't wait to see you go!" Kagome huffed.
"Don't you talk to me that way young lady! I am your mother-"she got cut off
"Yes you are my mother, but that's all you are, a title. You don't know me or Souta and you will not come in here and disrespect InuYasha!-" Kagome's mother cut her off.
"Don't stick up for this boy who knows nothing about and only wants to get in your pants!"
"He knows more about me than you!-" InuYasha put his hand on her lower back and she stopped to look at him.
"With all due respect Ms. Higurashi, I want to let you know that I care deeply for your daughter and I do not 'only want to get in her pants'. I don't want her for anything other than who she is. I respect her." He said looking Ms. Higurashi in the eyes seriously.
She could see his sincerity, so she turned and walked out of the room. The teens watched her departure and all was silent.
"Hey Sango!" Kagome said walking up to her locker.
Miroku wasn't around so she continued what she was going to say. "So InuYasha asked me to prom" she said excitedly.
"Really? What did you say?" She asked.
"I said yes!" she said incredulously. "We have to go dress shopping after school today!"
"Alright, do you know what kind of dress you want?"
"Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. Maybe a short one."
"You would definitely look good in a short one."
"Sango, what's wrong, you seem sad"
She bit her lip worriedly "Well, I was on the phone with Miroku last night and I heard a crash on his line and then everything got quiet and the line went dead. I called back all night and got no answer. He's not at school and I'm getting really worried."
Kagome spotted InuYasha walking down the hall as the bell rang. "I see InuYasha so I'll ask him if he knows anything and I'll text you in class."
"Ok, thank you Kagome." She hugged her and went to her first class.
InuYasha came up to Kagome and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Hey, what's wrong with Sango?"
"She's worried about Miroku. They were on the phone last night and his line died and he didn't pick up for the rest of the night. Oh and before his line died she heard a crash." Kagome said slightly worried herself.
To her amazement, InuYasha laughed.
"What's funny?" Kagome asked slightly annoyed.
"He hasn't told her yet!" he laughed.
"Told her what?" she asked wanting answers quickly so they could go to class.
"His cousin came over two nights ago and is staying for the weekend. But you can't tell Sango, Miroku has to."
"What's the big deal about his cousin?"
"That little troll is evil." He said shaking his head.
They started moving towards class and Kagome sent Sango a text.
Yash says Miroku's ok, but Miroku has 2 tell u something.
She hit send and they walked into class.
The entire class period InuYasha sat there rubbing on Kagome's thigh and it nearly drove her crazy.
Towards the end of class he moved his hand a little higher and kneaded her thigh a little harder. She had to bite her lip to keep herself quiet.
The bell rang and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Kagome looked into InuYasha's eyes. She hadn't seen that look before, it made a shiver run down her spine, in a good way.
She gathered her books quickly and held them against her chest to block out the hammering of her heart. She walked ahead of him so he wouldn't see the blush on her face.
'Why is my body reacting like this? I already slept with him and it wasn't this bad!'
Kagome saw Sango walking down the hall and she straightened up. "Hey Sango did you get my text?"
"Yeah, now I'm just suspicious. What is he doing that InuYasha can't tell me? You know what I'm going over there now and I'll meet up with you after school in the parking lot." That said, she went to her locker and left out of the building.
Kagome shrugged and tried to go on about her day as normal. But InuYasha wouldn't leave her brain.
At lunch it was just the two of them. Kagome thought it was extremely unfair that he was so happy today and she was miserable because she couldn't think of anything but him.
Instead of sitting beside him she sat in front of him. She slipped off her shoe and casually leaned forward. She rubbed her foot up and down along the inside of his thigh.
His face went from surprise to shock.
You know what they say, pay back's a bitch.
