Chapter Twenty One - Stares
The only reason George have not completely moved to Kagome's was lack of space. At least he didn't need an excuse to spend the night. The first day, George was satisfied to share the single futon. In the third, he bought a double sized one. After a week, the apartment next door was just his office/storage/workshop/closet and a second bathroom in case they are in a hurry.
As soon he got his license, George started working again. Many things at his shop are hand made, so he spend the day manufacturing. Even if he left with a packed inventory, after over three months and with Christmas less than two months away, he needed to be sure Verity and his other employees won't have problems.
This weekend Kagome would be performing at Hojo and Ayumi's wedding. She practiced for weeks and while George didn't understood the meaning of the movements (it's quite a boring dance, he must admit), Kagome took her job very seriously. And he didn't minded watch her in tank top and panties moving around their tiny apartment.
Close to noon, George picked their bags and locked their doors. He would meet Kagome for lunch and wait for her shift to be over so they could catch the train and be at the shrine in early evening. He was nervous to meet the other Higurashis. Everything went well with Souta, but he couldn't be so sure with her mother and grandfather. They already met Charlie, but he wasn't his brother. Except for the usual Weasley charm.
He got closer to the store and saw that Kagome was already waiting outside. There was someone else with her, a man that must be around his age. Kagome was looking really annoyed and talking in a displeased tone.
"I'm not having lunch with you, Harada-san. I'm waiting for someone."
"Dinner then?"
"Not interested."
"Hullo, love. Sorry for keep you waiting. Any problem here?" George greeted Kagome.
"So this is it, Higurashi, you are one of those gaijin hunters?" George didn't understood what it meant, but didn't liked the way the man said. "You all hooked up just because he's foreigner."
Kagome's face hardened. A look George have never seen before and hoped to never see again. "You know nothing about me. You have no say in my life. And I suggest you save your opinion to yourself and never talk to me again. Or else there will be another complaint about you and I'm sure the manager won't be pleased." She turned to George and smiled. "Shall we go?"
George took her hand and leaned down to give her a peck on the lips. He knew public displays of affection are looked down in Japan but he could care less about this man's opinion. He noticed people staring when they are together in public, it's one of the reasons he was anxious about meeting her family. But Kagome never bothered with the stares and was very offended with this Harada-san's comment. He trusted her and trusted them, everything would be fine.
As they turned from the man, George pretended to be adjusting his pants and picked his wand. Harada-san better not eat the candy that magically appeared in his pocket.
Please, tell me what you think!
Gaijin hunters are people (mostly women) who are determinate to date foreigners as a trophy.
