Chapter 10- What's taking him so long?
Two weeks had gone by (yes, two weeks) and it was only two weeks until Kagome's birthday.
She and Sango were sitting in Sango's room at Castle Tetsusaiga. Kagome had stayed the night (something she often did) and it was now morning.
"What's taking him so long?" Kagome asked in despair.
"Don't worry. He's just really bad at taking hints." Sango reassured her friend.
"Two weeks. I have two weeks until a husband is chosen for me."
"Your father might choose Inu Yasha." Sango commented.
"Inu Yasha hasn't asked. My father will pick the wealthiest man from among those that asked for my hand in marriage."
"Oh. Well..." Sango was cut off by a knock on the door. She sighed and opened it.
"Who is it?" Kagome asked from inside.
"There's no one here." Sango was confused. Kagome got up and stood at the door with her. There was no one in sight. Sango looked down and saw...
"A rose!" She cried and picked it up. She read a little card that was attached and started giggling.
"What? What? Tell me!" Kagome was shaking Sango by the arm.
Sango just handed the rose to her friend, who read.
Kagome~
I love you. I always will. That's why I want you to meet me in the rose garden tonight at 8.
~ You know who this is
Kagome looked at the card for a while. "Inu Yasha?" She whispered.
"Looks that way!" Sango could barely contain her excitement. "Maybe he's gonna pop the question tonight!"
Kagome looked up at Sango, and the two girls started squealing in delight.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku and Inu Yasha walked past Sango's room, and heard the squeals.
"What is going on in there?" Miroku asked. Inu Yasha just smirked, and the two walked on.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Throughout the day, Kagome kept finding roses with cards everywhere she went. The cards would always say, 'I love you' and that was it.
By 7 O'clock, Kagome had gathered about two-dozen (24) roses and cards. Sango was admiring the collection while her friend got ready to meet Inu Yasha.
"Sangooooo!!!!!!" Kagome whined. "What should I wear?"
"Wear a red dress. It'll go with the rose theme!"
"Good idea!" Kagome squeaked and ran to the closet to get one of the dresses she had brought along.
~*~*~*~*~*~
45 minutes later found Kagome walking quietly through the halls, towards the back door. Sango had told her exactly where the rose garden was, so Kagome could find it quickly.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A man stood in the roses, waiting for the girl he loved to come. He couldn't think of a better time to do this. He was ready. All he had to do was wait till she got here.
"Where is she?" He asked impatiently. He was nervous. I mean, he had never done anything like this in his life. The door to the rose garden opened.
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was hit by a blast of rose-smell. It was almost overwhelming, but she enjoyed it. She looked around. There was no one here.
"It would be like him to be late." She crossed her arms over her chest, and tapped her foot against the ground.
"I'm not late." A voice behind her said. Her heart leapt, and she spun around.
"Kouga?" She stumbled backwards, falling on the roses. They pricked her skins with their thorns.
Kouga laughed. "You know Kagome. Your situation is almost like a rose. It looks nice on the outside, but when you touch it, it pricks you. You thought I was Inu Yasha, didn't you? If you had known it were me, you wouldn't have come."
"What are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?" Kagome felt like she was going to faint.
"I've come to take you with me." He stepped forward and took out a bottle. He held it to her face, a pressed a small button. It sprayed a sweet- smelling mist, and soon Kagome was out cold.
Kouga snickered to himself, and lifted the girl onto his shoulders. Now Inu Yasha would never have her.
~*~*~*~*~
THE NEXT DAY!
Sango woke up. Kagome had never returned. She giggled. That meant she must have stayed with Inu Yasha, which meant he must have proposed.
She hopped out of bed, and skipped down the halls. On the way, she saw a VERY tired looking Inu Yasha. "Well well," She taunted. "Up all night, were we?" She grinned.
"What?" Inu Yasha was confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't give me that! You know what I'm talking about!"
"No, I really don't."
"You, and Kagome. Last night..."
Inu Yasha's eyes went wide. "WHAT?"
Sango started to think that she was wrong about this. "Well, when Kagome never came back from meeting with you..."
"Meeting with me? We never met! What do you mean she never came back?!"
Sango's heart almost broke. She told the whole story to the demon, who became more and more outraged every second.
"DAMN HIM!" Inu Yasha roared when she was done. He took off down the hall.
Sango ran after him. "Damn who?"
"Kouga! He is going to DIE this time!"
They ran for a while more, heading towards the rose garden. On the way they picked up Miroku, and Sango told him the story.
Inu Yasha almost broke the door leading to the rose garden, and ran inside. There was no one there. He started sniffing around.
"He was here, and so was she." He sniffed towards the center, and stopped. Sango and Miroku saw Inu Yasha stumble, and ran over to him.
"What's the matter?" Miroku asked.
"That smell. It's a type of perfume that shuts people's brains down for a while. In other words, it knocks them out. You cant smell it, but I can. Thank God there isn't enough left to knock me out."
"So what does it mean?" Sango asked worriedly.
"It means that Kouga has her."

Ok, I'm done for now. I really need soda or chocolate to continue. Remember, reviews help me write! Till next time!
