Chapter Seventeen - Hojo

"Hojo-kun!" So, she knew him. He scowled and move to be closer.

"Higurashi-san, long time no see." the stranger, 'Hojo-kun', ignored his presence.

"Almost four years, Hojo-kun." she gave him a short bow. He just observed their interaction. Kagome keep her answers short and direct while the man tried to be more casual and friendly. It made him dislike this Hojo even more. George stopped paying attention in their conversation when...

"Would you dance for me?"

"Are you sure? I'd been a long time since I performed."

"You will be great, I'm sure. I came to this side of the city just to ask you for this."

"You could have called."

"You mother gave me your address. I couldn't just ask for a dance over the phone." Dance? Who this dimp shit thought he was to just ask his girl out like this? Didn't he see that she have company? "I don't have the invitations here. Can you meet me 4 p.m. in that cafe over the train station?"

"Sure! See ya later, Hojo-kun."

"See ya, Higurashi-san!"

"So you just got yourself a date for today?" George was jealous, he couldn't deny it. He may just lost his chance with the girl.

"Date? Are you crazy?"

"He just asked you for a dance."

"Yeah, to perform the Kagura no Mai at his wedding in a few weeks." She narrowed her eyes and gave him a lopsided grin. "Are you jealous, Johji?" She used that nickname when teasing him. George would never admit it was very cute.

"What if I am?" He almost smacked his own face, but her blush and smile made it worthy.

"Then you should get your shit together and do something." if it wasn't a positive hint for him, he would never ask a girl out again. But he hadn't the chance that moment because she asked him to go along when meeting 'Hojo-kun', so they just finished buying groceries, have a quick lunch and prepared to leave. In the cool weather of september, she dressed a simple orange sundress with a light jacket and a red ribbon holding her long hair.

"You look absolutely stunning, my dear."

"You are not bad yourself, Mr. Weasley."

"Kagome, after this meeting, do you wanna go out?"

"We go out all the time, Johji, you don't have to ask."

"No, I mean, go out, like, in a date."

She stopped and looked at him. For a moment, he thought she would refuse and he would go back to his place to cry like Ron when Fred morphed his teddy into a nasty spider. But instead she gave him the most beautiful smile he have ever seen.

"What took you so long, George?"

"Let's not waste anymore time then." he grabbed her hand and they walked to the meeting.

"Ayumi-chan!"

"Kagome-chan! And this is…"

"Her boyfriend, George Weasley. Nice to meet you, Ayumi-san." He knew it might sound precipitated, but he didn't care. As she said, they have been going out for weeks, it was just a formalization now.

"Nice to meet you too, Weasley-san. Hojo is waiting, let's go."

"Ayumi-chan, Hojo-kun, I'm so honored you chose the Higurashi Shrine to hold your wedding."

"Ayumi-chan was very disappointed when your mother told us you moved. It was for visiting you we got closer."

"About your health, Kagome-chan, how is it? Did you have any other episode?" Health? Kagome was one of the healthiest people he ever met. Not even her hair have a single split end.

"I'm better than ever." She squeezed his hand.

"It's almost time for our train. We must be going. Thank you again, Higurashi-san. Weasley-san, I'm looking forward seeing you again in my wedding."

"I'll be there, Hojo-san."

"'Till then, Hojo-kun, Ayumi-chan." The four bowed and the soon-to-be-married couple left.

"Shall we go to our date, my lady?"

Please, tell me what you think!
