I need reviews like I need the air. They help me write quicker and better.
Ok before I start…I just wanna let you all know about a great fic. In my opinion it is the best story out of all that I have every read. Starts out a little slow and the summery stinks…which is why I think so few have reviewed it. But I am dead serious…this is awesome beyond words. Its called Present Times…the ID number is 1084561
"Miroku! I'm tired, lets give it a rest already!"
Kagome clutched her hands to her chest and gave the monk her best sad watery eyes look she could give him.
Miroku, who was sitting across the cooking heath from her, shook his head. Kagome frowned annoyed as he maintained the very image of calmness. He took a sip of tea before answering her.
"No Kagome-sama. We must continue you're training. I shall not let you go home until you learn at least to cast a concealing barrier that I can't break."
Kagome grumbled and rubbed her backside sadly. They had been sitting here for over three hours already.
Almost the second they had come into the Keade's village, Miroku had told Kaede everything. From there she had been stolen away from a very surprised and worried Inuyasha. Kagome could tell he knew something was up…but he was surprising her by not bothering them yet. Usually he would be his stubborn and impatient self and demand to know what was going on.
Kagome was tired, she was bored…and she was sore from sitting in one place for so long.
"Ok, I'll do this one more time then we take a break."
Miroku nodded and sipped his tea again.
Kagome closed her eyes and muttered the words that Kaede had taught her.
For a second a light bluish glow surrounded her, but just as quickly as it came it disappeared.
Kagome opened her eyes. She could feel the barrier surround her almost like a comforting blanket. It was weird actually, with this barrier she felt almost like she had been naked before and only now had cloths. She never realized how open and exposed she was.
"That's amazing Kagome."
Kaede took her place beside Miroku; her one eye was studying the barrier carefully. She was looking for weaknesses and or holes that would weaken the spell.
"I've never seen anyone learn as quickly as you. It took me years to do what your are doing in under three hours."
Kagome shrugged casting the barrier wasn't hard. It took a little getting used to and some practice but that was it.
"Can I go now? I really wanna go home and take a bath!"
Miroku frowned and set his tea down. He put his hand to his chin in thought and he closed his eyes to allow better thinking.
"But Kagome-sama, we've only just taught the spell to you. We don't know how well you'll be able to keep it up over time. I don't think…"
He opened his eyes…and his mouth dropped.
Kagome was gone.
"Kagome-sama?"
He started to get up and in necessary use force to bring her back when Kaede spoke.
"Hoshi-sama…Leave her be for now."
"But"
Kaede stirred some soup that was starting to boil in a large iron pot.
"Kagome has lived this long without anyone finding out. She has a special ability. Its almost like she moves in the shadows. Like a cloud follows her around hiding her from those that could sense her."
Miroku sighed. What Kaede said was true. Even he had had no idea of Kagome's true powers. If she hadn't let him see within her during the search he still would have no idea.
"Miroku. I know you worry about her. But Kagome is not like you and me. She will be fine."
"I know Kaede-sama, I just can't shake this feeling that something is going to happen to her."
Miroku took his tea and finished off the last of it.
His mind drifted to the last three hours. The last three amazing hours.
Who would have guessed that sweet little Kagome would blow them away like she had? Kagome that always worried about school and not learning fast enough.
We taught her some powerful spells and she soaked them up like a sponge. Its unheard of, it takes years of self-training and purification to master the control and focus needed for these spells. Yet in three hours she has become better than even I.
I admit I'm not the most pure of Hoshi's out there. But I am damn powerful. Given another hour I would bet she would be able to make a shield that even I couldn't break.
Miroku stood up and walked to a window.
Outside he could see the village, and several people working or playing in the warm weather.
What is the reason for Kagome's power? Surely the gods wouldn't have given her so much if she didn't have a destiny?
I'm scared for her. Kagome's description of the youkai's and humans in her time has me worried. I seriously don't think she should go back just yet. But maybe I'm over reacting. Kaede is right, Kagome has this strange ability to totally mask her power without the aid of spells, she will be fine I'm sure. It's only for a couple of days, and then she'll be back here looking for shards. We can train her more then.
Inuyasha felt like he was going to explode. What the fuck was taking Kagome so long! And why the fuck was she taking so long with Miroku of all people.
Why did she tell Miroku what's wrong and not me? Isn't that how its supposed to work? Kagome's supposed to come to me with her problems and worries.
Of course he hadn't really done anything to make her want to talk to him. Ever since they had met he had been nothing but rude and crude to her. Heck he had even tried to kill her once. Sometimes…rarely something slipped and his feelings would come through…but that was indeed rare.
But she seemed to like it when I was about to kiss her. All Kagome had to do was say 'sit' a few times and I would be down for the count. But she didn't say 'sit'…in fact she seemed to really want to kiss me.Inuyasha's ears twitched as Kagome walked out of Kaede's hut. She stretched and Inuyasha couldn't help but notice the say her silly and barely there cloths formed to her body.
She's so beautiful. She could have any human man she wanted. What would she want with a hanyou? A hanyou with no family and no claim to anything except the cloths on his back and sword at his side. I can't give her anything worthy of her.
He watched from his perch in one of the trees in the village. As Kagome went about getting ready to go home.
Everything seemed to be normal? She didn't seem nervous or scared.
Inuyasha jumped from the tree to the roof of the hut that Kagome was in.
He sniffed the air, slightly surprised at what he smelled.
Kagome smells like Miroku does when he casts a spell? What is with that? Kagome doesn't know how to cast barriers and spells. She's never been trained or anything like that.
Of course his discrete sniffing had another purpose.
He didn't think Kagome would go for the lecherous monk, but one could never be too careful. He was sniffing Kagome searching for signs that they had been close, or if he had touched her.
He nodded to himself as his nose told him that that hadn't happened.
Fuck what am I thinking? Kagome would never do anything with Miroku. She's been trying to get Sango and him together forever now. What would she see in him?
Inuyasha snorted in frustration. What the fuck was going on? Why was everyone acting so weird?
What wasn't Kagome telling him?
Kagome came out of the hut, her huge yellow bag in hand. She looked around carefully no doubt looking for him, before slinging it over her shoulder and heading toward the well.
She's going home? I don't think so!Inuyasha jumped from the rooftop to some trees and followed Kagome as she went toward the well.
Of course he could just stop her now and be done with it. But he would rather they be alone when he talked to her.
Inuyasha waited until she was almost at the well before with youkai ease he jumped from the tree to the ground. Kagome startled as his red form landed gracefully on the lip of the well.
"Inuyasha?"
"Kagome…what is going on?"
He stated bluntly, his voice was very gruff and angry.
Kagome blinked a moment not sure what he meant.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha. What…?"
Inuyasha stepped down from the well his face in a fuming scowl.
"You know very well what…bi…Kagome!"
Inuyasha stopped himself right before he called her bitch. Miroku had said human women didn't like to be called that. Why was yet another mystery to him. Weren't females supposed to be called bitches? That's what his instinct told him. Why would they get mad by being called that?
Humans didn't make much sense.
"Why did you spend so much time in Kaede's hut! Why so much time with Miroku! What did you tell him?"
Inuyasha stepped forward and grabbed Kagome's arm. He was irritated and frustrated.
She was supposed to tell him what was bothering her. Tell him so he could make it right, protect her from what was scaring or bothering her. But how could he do that if she didn't tell him what was wrong!
"Inuyasha?"
Surprising them both Inuyasha suddenly yanked her to him. Kagome managed a yelp before his arms wrapped around her in a strong as steel hug.
"Please Kagome."
Kagome went still at the sound of his voice. He sounded so hurt and desperate. Like he needed to know, like it was killing him on the inside her not telling him. When he made no sign of letting go anytime soon. Kagome shyly wrapped her arms around his waist and for the first time ever they hugged each other at the same time.
Both cheeks suddenly turned red, but neither moved to separate.
Kagome rested her cheek against his chest, for a moment doing nothing but listening to the sound of his heart beat.
"I don't know where to start."
She heard Inuyasha grunt in reply but that was the only sound from him. He had apparently decided not to speak until she told him.
Kagome sighed; she didn't want to tell him everything yet. She was more than a little afraid that if Inuyasha knew about modern Youkai's he wouldn't let her go home without him. And no matter how much she liked/loved him she needed her space. She needed to go to school.
"Miroku wants to train me. That's what we were doing, he was been teaching me to cast concealing and barriers spells…and next time he said he would instruct me to do some spells for protection."
"Training you?"
Inuyasha asked confused before sniffing her carefully. Once again he picked up the strange tangy…or maybe 'spicy' was a better word of magic on her. The smell he could recognize as something that came from Miroku or Kaede whenever they casted a spell. However Kagome's magic smell was unique…it was slightly different from the Monks. Just enough for him to notice but for others with less sensitive noses it would be overlooked.
His mind raced with thoughts and questions. Why would Miroku want to train her? Why would Kagome want to train? This was so confusing. Kagome had never wanted to train before. Miroku had shown no desire…ok wrong word, had shown no sign of wanting to teach her.
However despite all these questions burning his mind he remained silent and waited for her to continue. Kagome startled him by tightening her grip around his waste.
The salty smell of tears over powered his nose.
She's crying? Why?"Kagome?"
"I'm so scary Inuyasha."
Inuyasha didn't know what to say to this. Kagome…scared? The two words didn't fit together. Kagome was always so brave. She could stand up to Naraku, or even his brother Sesshoumaru…and she had before…without flinching.
Kagome did not become scared.
Inuyasha let himself sink to the ground. Kagome went willing with him.
With his back against the well he gently stroked the back of her head, feeling the silky softness of her hair.
"Why are you scared?"
He asked, for the first time talking without any of his gruffness. His voice was low and comforting.
"Miroku…he thinks I could become dangerous if not trained."
"Dangerous?"
Inuyasha tried to pry more information out of her without seeming too demanding or forceful. He sensed if she thought him angry with her she would shut up.
He didn't understand the way he was acting. He had never thought in a millions years he would be doing all this. He was being comforting and weak sounding. He was being subtle…it just wasn't him. Was it?
"Inuyasha, I'm scared of this power. Miroku did a search…and I think…I think I almost killed him!"
Now Inuyasha was shocked…a search. He swallowed hard as the thoughts of what could happen to both searcher and the one being search. It wasn't a pretty thought.
This must be serious if Miroku risked a search. Miroku is a baka but he would never do anything that would hurt Kagome.
He felt Kagome shiver in his arms and tightened his hold in response.
I'll have to talk to Miroku, Kaede as well. They might understand this more than Kagome.
Inuyasha's eye narrowed. Kagome knew almost nothing about spiritual powers and such. In her world such things supposedly didn't exist. She had never even been around anyone that could do it until she came here. Even then she hadn't had any training.
He had never thought anything of it. Kagome just seemed to know what she was doing. Her arrows were amazing although not always on target. She could also break out of spells…or break others out with unheard of ease. He had always thought it was because she was so passionate and feeling. That somehow she didn't have amazing powers, just a strong will.
But it seems I'm wrong…or perhaps half wrong. Kagome does have a strong will. But looks like she has strong powers as well.
He didn't know what to do. He was strong true, but his strength was that of a youkai. He didn't know anything about human powers.
"It's alright Kagome. If Miroku is a powerful hoshi. If he thinks he can help…then it will be alright."
Inuyasha couldn't believe he was commenting the leach but he would do anything to make Kagome feel better.
Her tears stopped telling him that he had said the right thing for once.
"Inuyasha…"
"Umm."
"I like being like this."
Inuyasha blushed and stammered at the sudden shift in conversation.
"What do…(cough) what do you mean Kagome?"
He had to clear his throat to ease the constriction and the frog that had suddenly appeared. He felt Kagome snuggled closer and his blush brightened.
"Being close and not fighting. I like it."
"I…uh like it to Kagome."
For a few moments they stayed like that. Both thinking their own thoughts and both blushing slightly at the fact they were so close.
Finally Inuyasha sat up prompting Kagome sit up as well.
"Were you going home?"
Kagome nodded.
"Hai, I was…but I don't…have to."
Kagome smiled shyly. She didn't really want to leave Inuyasha right now. She was afraid if she left then the spell or whatever that he had fallen into would disappear.
Surprising her he shook his head.
"No, you go back."
"What?"
She explained a little shocked…and maybe a little hurt. She held off the hurt until she found out why he wanted her to go back.
"Kagome, it would help to get your mind off this stuff for a couple of days. I want to talk to Miroku to better understand what's happening."
Kagome sighed relieved. She had been half afraid he didn't want to be around her. However what he said strangely coincided with what she had wanted to do. Go home and forget this. She had already known before speaking with Miroku that she could hide from Youkai's and the humans in her time. She didn't know how she knew she just did.
So going home would be nice and relaxing.
Kagome smiled a suddenly glint in her eyes.
Inuyasha tilted his head not sure what to make of the look.
"I'll go home on one condition."
Inuyasha smiled. Now who was acting weird? When did Kagome need a condition to go home? She usually went at the drop of a hat.
"Hai…anything Kagome."
Kagome's face turned a fiery shade of red. Inuyasha blinked, he hadn't seen Kagome blush that much since that time with the Nemenka Tree.
"I'll go home…if..if you…"
"What Kagome?"
He asked getting slightly annoyed. Why couldn't she just spit it out?
"If you finish that kiss you were going to give me."
Inuyasha's eye widened so much he was sure they would fall out of his head.
Kagome…kiss…Kagome…kiss.
He looked at her lips. They did look really inviting, so full and sweet looking.
She wants to kiss me. She really likes me. Even though I'm just a dirty Hanyou. Kagome wants to kiss me.
Inuyasha's face now matched Kagome's as he nodded slightly.
Kagome tilted her head up a little, making her lips such a wonderful target. He swallowed nervously and dipped his head. Half expecting someone to walk in on them or yell for Kagome…hell he expected a youkai to attack. Just something that would interrupt them.
Inuyasha's breath was knocked clean out of his as his lips softly touched Kagome's. He heard her intake of breath and the now racing sound of her heart. So he gathered she had been as affected as him by this small kiss.
For a moment he just let their lips barely touch. He could feel the heat from Kagome's face. Could feel her breath on his face.
He then gently pressed their lips further together deepening the kiss just slightly.
Gods she's as sweet as honey. So wonderful soft and silky.
He reached up and gently trailed one of his claws down her cheek. He then closed his eyes enjoying the overall feel. He could smell their scents intermingling. That was strangely…although not arousing, was very exciting nerveless.
His own heart, which normally was steady and strong, started to race just like Kagome's.
Inuyasha drew away slightly unnerved by the fact he couldn't seem to caught his breath.
Kagome still blushing red smiled up at him sweetly. That look felt like it would surely melt his heart into a puddle at his feet.
"Thank you Inuyasha."
Kagome stood up and shouldered her backpack. She looked very flustered and smiled shyly went ever their eyes met.
Inuyasha himself was feeling rather shy. He was sure this wasn't a youkai thing. So it had to be his human blood calling to him. That had never happened, usually other than on a new moon he felt nothing from his human side.
Yet this defiantly wasn't his youkai side. If it was he wouldn't be shy, he would probably be very demanding. Well he would contain himself but his body wouldn't listen to his mind. It would probably be enough to embarrass him.
Despite the fact he wore baggy pillow like pants, the way they fit him would have left no doubt what his youkai blood wanted. He really couldn't help it.
Yet he felt shy and timid around her. Of course he liked her sexually, but he wasn't really thinking about that. It was more like this was a first step to something greater.
Instincts told him this was weird…but he didn't mind it one bit. He actually liked it better than what he had expected. This way neither were rushed into doing anything or making permanent choices.
Inuyasha nodded at her thank you. He didn't know why she said thank you; he hadn't done anything he didn't want to do.
"You better go Kagome. Three days right?"
Kagome nodded,
"Or sooner. Depends."
Inuyasha watched as Kagome gave him one last goodbye look and jumped down the well.
He sighed…
We kissed. It was just a kiss yet it was the most amazing thing that had ever happened to me.
Inuyasha felt strange, a longing in his heart. He wanted to be with Kagome…be with her forever. He didn't care about the Shikon Jewel anymore. He just wanted to be happy with Kagome.
He couldn't forget the jewel however. There was no way in hell he was going to let Naraku have it. That vial bastard had to be killed.
Kikyou still had to be revenged and returned to the grave.
Inuyasha sighed again. There was so much to do.
So much to make right before he could even begin to focus on making a life with Kagome. That is if she wanted a life with him.
So she kissed me. What's gives me the right to think forever when I have nothing? I'm just a hanyou, a half human half-demon freak. Kagome's human what would she want with me.
Inuyasha shook his head trying to force the degrading thoughts out of his head.
He had thought the same things before yet Kagome had kissed him. Had acted as though she cared fore him.
Inuyasha you are a fool. Kagome's not like others. She might not care that you're a hanyou. She's never cared before. Why do you make this hard on yourself?
Inuyasha didn't have an answer for his inner voice. He just couldn't help it.
He hated…yet didn't being a hanyou. He acknowledged that he was different from humans, and different from youkai's.
Those differences made him who he was. If he became pure of either one…a part of him would be lost. Before…before Kagome he hadn't cared about his human feelings and attitude's. He wanted to become a full youkai to become stronger and no longer alone.
But he wasn't alone anymore, and he was stronger. He had killed monsters not even his father could. He had fought and won against several powerful creatures. Hell he had even fought his brother on a few occasions and won.
He was strong…and he wasn't alone anymore.
He didn't need to become a full youkai anymore.
Inuyasha stopped in body and mind at that thought.
I don't need to become a full youkai anymore. I don't want to.
Inuyasha was truly and utterly confused by this. When had this come about? When had his feelings changed so much he didn't want to change? Was it because of Kagome, or because of his pack?
Inuyasha shook his head violently. He didn't need to be thinking about this stuff. He had more important things to worry about. He needed to talk to Kaede and Miroku to try and understand what was going on. He still had a thousand questions for them.
Kagome sighed in happiness as she lugged her backpack out of the well. Despite the fact that the bag was so heavy she almost fell back into the well, Kagome was humming to herself.
She smiled and gently brought one of her hands to her lips. They still tingled from the feel of Inuyasha's lips on hers.
A small blush stained her cheeks.
Epp I was certainly forward. Asking to be kissed like that. But I could tell he wanted to kiss me and I wanted to kiss him. And oh my gosh, it was just a small kiss, no tongue or anything and it nearly sent me for a loop. I was certainly everything I expected from a first kiss.
Kagome opened the door to the kitchen and set her bag on top of the table. The table moaned and creaked from the weight.
I wonder if he'll want to kiss me again. I sure hope so. Oh Inuyasha…Kagome walked into the living room and stopped cold. All thoughts of Inuyasha disappeared.
"Eri, Yuku…Ayumi? What are you doing here?"
"Kagome!"
Eri shouted making the young woman winch.
"I'm so happy your better. We better get you ready."
Kagome blinked as her three closest friends surged on her and forced her upstairs to her room.
"What are you talking about? Ready for what?"
Ayumi sat on the bed and forced her to sit as well.
Yuku opened Kagome's closet door completely ignoring the woman's questions.
"What about this dress Eri?"
Yuku held up a pretty summer dress. It was light green with yellow and blue flowers on it. Eri studied it for a moment then shook her head.
"No, to innocent looking. Kagome's not going to church."
Ayumi clapped her hands together then softly bumped shoulders with her friend.
"Isn't this exciting Kagome?"
"Ayumi, what is going on?"
Ayumi blinked seeming surprised that Kagome didn't know.
"You have a date tonight."
"WHAT!"
"Isn't it so wonderful. Hojo set it up."
Kagome's protest stopped short as Ayumi's words processed. She wasn't sure if she was hearing right. Normally her friends were nothing but Hojo this and Hojo that.
"It's not with Hojo?"
"No, it's with some guy named Tekeshi. Hojo set it up."
Now Kagome was really confused. Why would Hojo…the same Hojo that said he didn't want to date anyone else beside her, set her up on a date? A blind date none the less.
"I don't understand."
Ayumi looked sadly down at her lap for a moment.
"Hojo had to move."
"Move?"
"Ya isn't that so sad. I hope he can find new friends."
Something about that didn't seem really right to Kagome. Hojo moving, and so suddenly, and then just as suddenly he set her up on a date. Something was amiss with that picture.
Suddenly Eri squealed and tossed a dress at Kagome.
"Wear this Kagome…hurry up he's going to be her in less than 20 minutes."
"WHAT?"
Kagome blinked in shock and anger at her friends. How dare they do something like this to her. She had a boyfriend. Inuyasha was just now becoming nice and sweet, and they had finally kissed. She couldn't start cheating on him now! Not that she would ever cheat on him. She had only went with Hojo because she was angry at the stubborn hanyou.
They're being usually pushy. Ok I'll do this once…especially since this guy is on his way. But I'll tell him the truth about my friends and I don't want to hurt his feelings but I can't see him anymore. And then I'll set my foot down here! This is no way for my friends to treat me!
Kagome lifted the dress to look at it. Her eyes narrowed dangerously…it was as her mother once called it her 'just a little smutty dress'. It was way to short and way to tight. It was also black and low cut in the front. Actually she had gotten it to wear for a costume party last year. However it had been too much even for that. Or at least it was in her mind.
There was no way in hell she was going to where this.
"No!"
"No?"
Asked Eri and Yuku.
"Uh?"
Said Ayumi her eyes wide at the dress. She could almost see what it would look like on her friend.
"I'm not wearing this! I'd look like a tramp!"
"Oh come on Kagome." Said Yuku, putting on a pair of puppy dog eyes.
Kagome shook her head no again. Ayumi actually sided with her and also nodded no.
"This is to much Yuku, Kagome will seem…well you know."
Kagome set a grateful glance toward Ayumi. Yuku sighed and took the dress back.
"Ok, how about this one then."
Yuku help up a pretty light purple dress. Kagome smiled, it was perfect. Very conservative yet nice.
"That will do."
"Hurry," Eri stated and started to force Kagome's shirt over her head.
"We need time to do your makeup."
Kagome let the shirt come off then stiffened suddenly as Ayumi made a surprised gasping noise.
OH shit I forgot!"Oh my god Kagome. What happened?"
Kagome winched again remembering back to what had happened.
It had happened about 4 days ago right before the little incident with her powers at school.
Inuyasha had been fighting a demon, things got out of hand and she tried to help. Well things went down hill from there. She had accidentally gotten to close and was swiped by a power beam from the Youkai.
She had been lucky; if the beam had hit her dead on it probably would have killed her. As it was she only had a huge and nasty looking bruise on her side. It ran from under her breast all the way to her hip. It was terrible looking, it was mostly red and only a little bit of blue at the moment. Kagome knew from experience however that the worst of it was yet to come. After the swelling was down and the red went away…that was when the classic black and blue happened.
Surprisingly it didn't hurt much, just looked terrible.
"Oh, its nothing."
She said simply. She was upset at herself that she forgot about it. But it really wasn't nothing. Not when one dealt with Youkai's.
Suddenly Yuku was in her face.
"That bad ass boyfriend of yours hit you didn't he!"
Kagome's eyes went wide. Inuyasha…hit her. The thought was so outrageous it was funny. Inuyasha would never hurt her.
"No…it wasn't him. He would never hit me!"
She shook her head her face deadly serious. She suspected it she showed the slightly sign of being nervous then her friends wouldn't believe her.
"Well then what happened!?" Yuku demanded!
"Uh."
She said intelligently.
What could she tell them? Not the truth that was for damn sure. They wouldn't even believe her. They would thing she was crazy and all kinds of things.
But what would she tell them.
"I was hit by a car."
She lied.
All three girls gasped in surprise and horror.
"A car?" Eri said.
"Yes, when I was coming out of the hospital last week, I was hit by a car."
"Oh Kagome how terrible." Ayumi whispered tears in her eyes.
Kagome congratulated herself on the wonderful lie. From the looks on everyone's faces she had convinced them.
"You luck is terrible Kagome." Yuku said as she helped Kagome into the dress. She winched at the look of the bruise. It was truly terrible looking…so it made sense a car would do it. It would take a lot of hitting for one man to do that damage. And it was one massive bruise. Not a bunch of fist sized ones.
Silly of me to think the bad ass would hurt Kagome. Kagome would never allow anyone to do that.
Eri wasn't so sure.
I don't think Kagome is being truthful with us. Maybe that bad ass did hurt her? But Kagome wouldn't stand for that…would she? Kagome…what are you keeping from us.
"Not so terrible." Kagome smiled teasingly at them. "I was already at the hospital. What better place to get hit."
Her friends smiled although they were obviously forced. Ayumi still had tears rolling down her face.
"Guys, don't be so sad. It doesn't even hurt. It just looks bad."
Ayumi wiped her tears away and was trying really hard not to cry again. Yuku and Eri looked at each other.
"Ok Kagome." Said Eri.
"It just looks bad." Followed Yuku.
Ayumi didn't say anything as she started to put on Kagome's makeup.
All four girls suddenly stiffened at the loud roar of a car engine.
Eri gasped and ran to the window.
"Oh my gosh! That must be him!"
Yuku also rushed over and not so gently pushed Eri away so she could see.
"Wow look at that car! Hojo-kun didn't tell us he was rich!"
"Rich?"
Kagome gulped. She could tell by the looks on her friend's faces that she had another Hojo coming. They hadn't even met the guy yet they were no doubt thinking about her and him getting married.
Ayumi smiled and finished Kagome's makeup.
"There Kagome, you look wonderful."
Kagome looked in the mirror hanging on her wall.
She did look rather nice. Ayumi was very gifted when it came to makeup and hair. Seriously she could go pro.
"Wow Ayumi, you did a great job."
Ayumi smiled shyly.
"Thank you Kagome."
Suddenly Yuku pointed.
"EKK there he is. Come her Kagome!"
Kagome made her way to the window. First thing she saw was the car that Yuku and Eri had made such a fuss over.
It was indeed a very…very nice and expensive. Kagome wasn't an expert or anything but it looked like a Jaguar to her. It was silver with black leather exterior.
Next her attention focused on the owner of the car.
She couldn't really tell her bedroom window but he looked handsome. He had long black hair and was wearing a stylish yet casual outfit. It was also black, with white trimming.
"Come on Kagome," Yuku said, as she pulled on her friend's wrist.
Kagome signed and let herself be pulled down the stairs and into the living room.
As expected within moments someone knocked on the door.
Kagome held her breath, as a suddenly feeling hit her. A feeling that this encounter would be nothing but trouble for her.
