~*~
Much to Kagome's bad luck, Satoru met her and Inuyasha after school at Starbucks. Starbucks wasn't just where Satoru and Kagome worked: it was more like their home. They practically lived there, especially Naomi who loved to perform.
Kagome and Inuyasha entered to be greeted by everyone there. Especially the boys. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow when Kagome giggled. That's when Inuyasha spotted Satoru behind the counter.
"Hey!" he called. "Look who's here!" as if they were old pals. He wore a white apron, just like Kagome's, which she put on and went behind the counter. "Come on now!" she said, pulling Inuyasha behind her. "I wanna introduce you to everyone." She explained.
"Now," she said, pointing everyone out. "There's Yusuke, you remember Satoru, Suguru, Nejiru, Doria, Mahoro, and last but not least, Josh. He's from America. Everyone, this is my boyfriend Inuyasha." All the boys groaned, the girls sighed. "I can't believe he's taken!" Mahoro moaned, and walked right up to Inuyasha. "I hope you don't mind me saying since you're going out with Kagome, but you're totally hot!" She let out a nervous laugh.
"Are. . . . Thanks." He didn't exactly know what it meant, but who cares? (AN: that's ah-rei not are in English)
"Lucky guy. She has a nice ass too." Josh sighed. Kagome crossed her arms. "What was that Joshua?" she teased. Everyone laughed. Inuyasha made a target square around Josh in his mind and grinned. Josh got up and held his hand out to Inuyasha. This time, Inuyasha was proud of himself. He actually knew what to do. Inuyasha slowly shook his hand.
"Good to meet ya." Josh greeted.
"Uh. . . . Likewise."
A few hours later, it was as if they'd all known each other for years. Naomi had arrived and was raising the roof, while everyone laughed it up with Inuyasha. Kagome smiled to see him so happy. *Wow.* she thought. *This is probably the first time he's been accepted like this.* Kagome silently congratulated Inuyasha, who she was so proud of, and continued working.
~*~
"But Onee-chan!" Souta argued. "You have to help! I promised!"
"It's not my fault!" Kagome snapped back.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was entertaining himself with the buttons on the remote until he flipped to a soap opera. There was a couple, alone in a dark room. Inuyasha grinned. "Cool! They don't even know I'm spying on them! Hey Kagome, can we get one of these things for Shippou? I'd love to know what shit HE causes when I'm not around!" Inuyasha laughed at the thought and kept flipping and settled himself to watching a James Bond movie. He didn't know what it was, but the blood being shot in all directions told him he'd like it.
Kagome sighed. "Souta, why did you promise something like that? It's so old; we probably don't even have that tape anymore!"
"I told them I'd bring the Jimmy Neutron movie to the party!" stated Mister- Speak-The-Obvious. Kagome shook her head. "Ok, ok." She said with a sigh. "Go get the big box of old tapes in the attic and bring it down here. But this better be fast; I have homework ya know."
Souta smiled, hugged his sister's legs in gratitude, and ran to the attic. "My god is he annoying sometimes." Kagome sighed, sitting next to Inuyasha and resting her head on his shoulder. "I see you figured out how to work the T.V."
Inuyasha didn't move. His zombie-eyes were glued to the screen. Kagome shook her head. *I think he's reached normal for a teen in the 20th century.* she thought. Besides, to a guy the biggest thing is a remote and a T.V. in Kagome's book.
"Wow." He said finally. "You guys have battles like that even in your time. Cool! Those sticks that shoot fire are awesome!" Kagome assumed he meant a gun. "Forget it. You're not getting one." She answered, before he asked the question. Inuyasha grunted and rested his head on his fist.
"Kagome!" Souta called.
"Oh what is it now?!?!" she said, jumping up.
"I can't bring it down! It's too heavy!"
"Ugh." Kagome turned the T.V. off and dragged Inuyasha to his feet. "But it was just getting good!" he wined. "That guy who talks funny was about to kill the other guy!"
"Watch it later." Kagome snapped, bringing him to the attic. Inuyasha looked confused. "You can do that?"
Kagome and Inuyasha got into the attic and located Souta. Inuyasha covered his nose. "Shit. How dusty can this get?"
Kagome took a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She gave it to Inuyasha. "Ok. Now in that box there's a bunch of black square kinda things." Kagome explained. "The one that says this on it is the one Souta needs, ok?" Inuyasha nodded and opened the box. All three started searching. "Exactly what do these things do?" Inuyasha asked, examining a tape.
"You put them in the T.V. and then it sorta tells you a story." She explained. "Well that's not the best explanation, but that's the best I can do." Inuyasha nodded as if he knew what she was talking about and continued searching. Inuyasha stopped a second and picked up a dark purple tape. "Kagome? How come this one's not black?" Kagome took it from him. "Sometimes they can be other colors, but most of the time they're black." That's when Kagome read the title on the tape. Her eyes sparkled. "Aww. . . . I can't believe we still have this!" Inuyasha looked a bit baffled.
"What is it?" Souta asked, reaching for it. Kagome pulled it away.
"Beauty and the Beast." She said, starry-eyed. "It was my favorite when I was little."
"What's it about?" Inuyasha queried.
"Well, it's about a girl named Belle. One day, she follows her father to an old, enchanted castle and meets a beast there. At first, they hate each other deeply. But then, she learned about a rose, part of a spell casted on him. Belle learned that when the last petal falls, if he was still mean, he would stay a beast forever. But, if he was kind, he would become human." Kagome paused. Inuyasha waited impatiently for her to go on. For some reason, it sounded interesting to him.
"Go on." He urged her. Kagome nodded. "The more time passed, the more they started to like each other. Eventually they fell in love. Belle loved him for who he was, not what he was. But, a jealous man from Belle's village tried to slay him. And when the last petal fell, he was almost dead. It was Belle's love confession that saved him." Inuyasha pushed a lock of Kagome's hair behind her ear and let her lean on him. "Then what?" he asked.
"Then," Kagome whispered, searching for the right words. She looked at Inuyasha. "They lived happily ever after." Their gazes locked. Kagome's heart pounded wildly. She reminded herself Souta was in the room, and he was too young to see them kiss. But she couldn't help it. Their lips were like magnets; there was no pulling away. Kagome closed her eyes, enjoying the sweet sensation that Inuyasha's lips provided her. It was then that Inuyasha realized Souta as well, and pulled away. Kagome leaned her head on him.
"Good story." He said softly. "I like it." Kagome nodded. "We'll watch it when Souta goes to sleep." Both of them immediately looked at Souta. How could they forget?
Souta's face was redder than ketchup, and he couldn't move. Kagome got up and swung her arms around him. "Souta! Are you alright?"
"He's fine." Inuyasha assured her. "Just a little shocked I guess." Kagome ignored him.
"Souta please. Whatever you do, don't tell Muma we kissed in front of you." Kagome pleaded him. Souta nodded slightly. Inuyasha sighed. *Thank god.* he thought.
As Kagome calmed Souta down, Inuyasha drowned himself in thought; that story Kagome told him. It sounded exactly like them, and how Inuyasha wanted their lives to be in the future. But it seemed strange to him. Everything was a little TOO similar. First off, Kagome did love Inuyasha for who he was, not what he was, and he wanted to live with her as a human. Kagome also broke the spell cast on him, just as Belle broke the rose spell. Someone jealous trying to separate them? Kikyo, obviously. It was as if Inuyasha was looking in a crystal ball, and it told him how his life would be. Just he and Kagome, and any children they might have. In a word; happy.
"Souta! Souta come back!" Inuyasha sprang back into life at the sound of Souta's feet banging down the stairs. Kagome sighed.
"He's so impossible." She stated. Inuyasha picked up the dark purple tape and looked at it. He really wanted to hear the story again. "Kagome?"
"Hm?"
"How does this work?" he asked, holding up the tape. Kagome smiled and took the tape from him. "Come on. I'll show you." She said, helping him up.
They both walked down the stairs and into the living room. After explaining what 'hit the lights' meant to Inuyasha, he turned them off and watched her turn on the VCR and explain how to work it.
"Ok. You press this button to start it over, or go back to something. It's called rewind. Fast forward is pretty much self-explanatory, and play and stop start and stop it, ok?" Inuyasha nodded slowly. Kagome sighed.
"You have no idea, do you?"
"Not a clue m'doll, not a clue."
"I figured as much. Don't worry about it, you'll get it. But for now," she said, grabbing his hand. "Let's enjoy the movie." Kagome hit play and they got up to snuggle on the couch. Inuyasha lay up against the couch while Kagome nestled under his arm and was up against his body. Inuyasha watched, as if to memorize every word.
~*~
"You came."
"Of course. Of course I did." Pause. "Just look at you."
"It may be too late."
"No. Don't talk like that."
It was late at night, and Kagome and Inuyasha sat on the couch, cuddled up, still watching the movie. Inuyasha's heart was pounding, and he knew Kagome's was as well, for she still held his hand tightly to her chest. Both teared, and it startled Kagome, but she had a brand new appreciation for the once childish tale. She'd seen it countless times, but this time was more magical than the first. Inuyasha held Kagome tightly as he watched Belle cry by the beast's side. "I love you." She whispered. Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat when he saw the last petal of the rose fall, and the beast began to rise off the ground in a white glow. Belle jumped back in surprise, and watched as everything around her turned to gold. But Kagome and Inuyasha were focused on an even more important change: the beast. He was returned to the surface of the ground, minus the glow. The tears in his clothes were gone, and Inuyasha and Kagome froze as still as Belle herself. The beast sat up, and his looks were tremendously altered. There in front of Belle stood a handsome young man. *Her* handsome young man. He took her hands in his own and looked deeply in her eyes. "I love you too." he whispered. Belle tangled her fingers in his long hair and gently brought her lips to his. Inuyasha's tight grasp on Kagome loosened, and she giggled under her breath. They watched together as the screen faded out on the new, happy couple. Kagome sat up and wiped the tears from her face. Inuyasha sat up with his arm still around her.
"That was wonderful." He whispered. Kagome nodded. "They're just like us."
"Kagome?"
"Do you think we'll ever end up that way? Just you 'n me? Humans?"
Kagome smiled. She pushed a few loose hairs behind Inuyasha's shoulder. "I don't think." She whispered. "I know."
Inuyasha pondered it for a moment and smiled. "And," Kagome added. "The movie's been over 36.3 seconds and you still didn't kiss me." She joked. But it was only a few more seconds before her joke turned real. Kagome and Inuyasha closed their eyes, enjoying the moment. But this time, they stopped together. They heard music.
"What's that?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh that? That's the movie's theme song. It's a really pretty song." She looked up. "Wanna dance?"
Inuyasha hesititated and scratched the back of his head. "But I dunno how."
"Oh come on. It's easy. I'll show ya." Inuyasha figured she wouldn't take no for an answer. Kagome got up and pulled him to his feet, wrapping her arms around his neck "Now just hold onto me and follow my lead." Inuyasha rested his hands in the curves of her waist and followed her. It actually was pretty easy. Fun, too. He and Kagome were so close, and it was like they were gliding on air. Once he got the hang of it, Inuyasha held Kagome closer, almost like a hug. She was enjoying it thoroughly and laid her head on his shoulder. Their eyes closed, and they didn't open again until the song was over. But they didn't move away from each other just yet. "Now what?" Kagome whispered.
"Now," Inuyasha whispered back, "Is when that rewind thing comes in handy. "Kagome laughed as he rewinded the tape to the beginning of the song.
