Chapter 3: Kagome's Proposal

It was already breakfast in the Higurashi House. Everyone sat around the table. Kagome and Souta ate cereal, Mother ate ggs, toast and hash browns while Grandmother and Grandfather ate a nice traditional meal. Kagome was rushing to eat. All she could think about was Inuyasha. He was very haunting and mysterious. He probably would have been mistaken for a fictional monster, but Kagome didn't think so. All she thought about though was his lonliness, his happiness of her presence andt he sadness on his face on her departure. Then she had a look of relization on her face. She smiled at herself. "What is up with you, Sis?" Souta asked, giving her a strange look. "Ano, nothing" "I know what you are thinking about, "Her mother smiled, "You are thinking of that Kouga boy aren't you?" She looked at her mother with a look of disbelief, but she looked on the clock that hung above the entrance from the living room to the kitchen. It was 10:00am. "Mama?" "Hmm?" "I need to go somewhere today, I..." " Sorry Kagome, but you have to work on your costum" 'That's right,' She thought, ' I have that dance at the Festival Saturday!' But she could picture Inuyasha waiting for her. "Mama, it will only be for an hour, please!" She whined and pleaded. " Okay, but after you wash the dishes and clean your room!" Kagome's jaw dropped as she whinned and pounded her head on the table.

Inuyasha stared out of his tower window. "She promised!" He disappointedly whispered as he rested his head on the wall, next to the window. He had a look of sadness and loneliness. He huffed and took a leap downstairs and out the door. After he had returned, Kagome walked up to the door without him seeing her. She slowly walked up and opened the door. She slowly opened the large door and spider webs and dust fell. She carefully stepped inside, "Inuyasha?" she called out. "Inuyasha?" Then she looked up past the balcony, A dark figure halfway hid behind a wall, "I thought you wouldn't come." He said with a very depressed tone. Kagome grabbed her necklace and half squeaked, "I'm sorry, My mother kept me... Why don't you come down?" He stood behind the wall still. "Inuyasha? Are you being shy?" "No" "Then why won't you come and see me?" He flew over the balcony and landed right in front of her. He had blood all over his hands and face. She went pale." What happend?". He tried to wiped his mouth off, just smeering the blood worse, "I hunted and got food when I thought you weren't coming." She almost fainted when she saw pieces of fur around his mouth. He looked at her a little embarassed. She finally managed to smile and say, "Well, you have to eat too, I guess" He went outside to the pond in the garden and knelt by it, cleaning himself off. She finally got a better look at him in the bright sunlight. His hair was as white as snow. It cascaded down his back and ended right below the tail bone. He also had two links of hair that hung seprate and over the place where his ears would be- had he been human.His bangs thickly hung to right above his eyes.He had razor sharp claws that looked like they could slice wood like soft butter. His outfit was jet black. It looked like traditional Japanese warrior outfit, A haori and huge pants, both torn and ragged. He stood up and looked at Kagome. His eyes where the most brilliant color of amber/gold she had seen. "What is it?" He asked, half blushing. When he talked, she saw bright white fangs, so sharp they'd make a vampire stare in envy. For some reason she was over whemled with his beauty, yet felt knotts in her stomach when she looked at his claws and fangs.But he had pure innocents on his face. He didn't choose to be like this. She smiled, "It's nothing," She said, looking away while blushing. He cocked his head slightly and gave a cute look of curiousity. She looked around, "Well, I'm here, what do we do?"

They soared in the air as Inuyasha took large leaps and bounds from tree to tree, occationally landing on the ground to run fast, to get more momentum. Kagome had a huge smile on her face as she howled out of fun, screaming when Inuyasha would fall, giving her a flip in her tummy. He had a huge smile on his face and would occationally laugh at Kagome's reaction. Then Inuyasha started to leap as high as he could onto of the trees. Kagome could see over the canopy. Inuyasha smiled and yelled, "Spread your arms out!" Kagome looked down at him, "Are you nuts?" "Just try it," he yelled back. He looked back at her for a second, "Don't you trust me?" She gave him a look of doubt but then it turned into bravery, "You promise you won't let me fall?" He smiled, "I promise!" She took a breath and closed her eyes, feeling the breeze in her face. She slowly rose her arms and spread them. She felt Inuyasha's grip get tighter. Confident, she opened her eyes. They soared high above the trees. She gasped and yelled, "I'm flying!" She had a feeling of freedom. It felt like all her troubles just blew away with the wind. She felt as Inuyasha would pull on each of her legs to keep her balanced. He had no trouble with his balance. She looked down. Inuyasha's hair cascaded around her, his ears lay back against his head. She saw they were at least 40 feet above the ground. Normally she would be terrified, but Inuyasha took such care of carrying her, she looked ahead at the sea of trees. Inuyasha had a feeling he couldn't shake. She was so trusting of him. He knew earlier, when she actually saw his teeth and claws, that she had a look of concern, but it quickly faded. He loved hearing her yell and giggle.Saddly, the sea of trees ended as they reached the edge of the forest, when it turned into her neighborhood. He walked slowly with her on his back, letting her off behind a tree. "Inuyasha?" Kagome tried to get his attention. He had his look of loneliness and dread of leaving her look. "Inuyasha?" She said again. Finally he looked at her. , "I was thinking..." She looked down and began to sweat a bit, "I was wondering if you'd like to come live with my family." Inuyasha just stared at her with shock. She felt embarassed, "I'm sorry, it..." "You would actually let me live with you?" He said softly, almost like the gentle excitement of a shy child. Kagome looked at the look of dreaming in his eyes. "You've been alone for so long, I don't want you to be alone anymore, Inuyasha." "Kagome!" He said in shock. But then he turned away. "I can't." "Why not?!" His head hung low, "I'm not normal," he looked at his claws and growled, "Because I'm a monster!" Kagome felt sad. Should she ask him to do such a thing? She smiled softly as she put her hand on his shoulder, "Inuyasha, you are not a monster." He looked at her in shock, "Kagome!" She looked at him and smiled. He sounded shocked and almost like he was about to cry, "You don't think... I'm a monster?" She smiled and shook her head. "Inuyasha, please." He gulped. She smiled." One night, just be at my house for one night to see how it feels." she carefully took his hand. He blushed at the fact that she didn't seem to care anout his claws. He carefully followed her, her holding his hand.

Sorry about these chapters being so short, but I dunno...hmmmm, but It might be annoying you how Inuyasha is a kinda softy right now,( I think it's cute) Just a little bit of playing off of Edward Scissorhands.He was so innocent. I still dunno if it's going to be as sad or what, but anyway-just wait till he feels protective of Kagome, We'll see a familiar side of him!. I'll post up to chapter 5, but I won't post 6 untill I get at least 1 reveiw. I need hope.!
