It's What's Inside That Counts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: I Never Forgot
Sango and Kagome walked into their suite carrying some shopping bags. Miroku and his 'unknown' friend were gonna be here in a few hours to pick them. They quickly took their showers and got dressed. As she sat at her desk she looked at the family photo on it. She missed her family dearly and even felt a connection with her unborn brother. Her eyes rested on the shikon jewel on her mother's necklace. Kagome remembered the day she gave it to a boy who became her best friend over the summer when she was ten. ('I promise...I'll find you...I'll never forget!') his last words stuck in her mind. ('Why haven't you found me yet...')
As she finished her thought Sango came in. She was wearing a pair of hip hugger bell-bottom pants and a pink tube top. Her pants were glittering and she wore pink mascara and her hair up in a high ponytail.
Kagome wore hip hugger jean pants and a spaghetti strapped midriff top that was dark blue with light blue glitter swirled over it. "Are you sure about this?" she asked still wondering why she agreed to go out on this blind date.
"Come on, have a little fun," she answered sitting Kagome down on her bed and doing her makeup. She put some light blue eye shadow on her and applied some strawberry lipstick.
"Sango, it's only a blind date. I'll probably never see him again," she said as Sango fixed her hair.
"You never know," she smiled.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Kagome began to think her friend was up to something.
Just then there was a knock at the door and Sango thanked Kami for Miroku's perfect timing. She ran to the door and greeted a grinning Miroku. Behind him leaning against the wall stood Inuyasha.
"Greetings my love," said Miroku taking her hand and placing a kiss in the palm. A smile spread across his face as he saw a blush on Sango's face. He wore a dark purple short sleeved muscle shirt and some dark blue jean pants.
Kagome came out of her room as Sango stepped out of the door. Sango came back in and hurried Kagome outside and locked the door behind her. She looked up to find Inuyasha was just surprised as she was.
"YOU!" they said in unison. "YOU'RE MY 'BLIND DATE?!" Suddenly they turned to their friends, "AFTER THEM!" Sango and Miroku ran as fast at they could.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miroku drove with Sango sitting in the passenger seat and Inuyasha and Kagome sitting in the back, staring out the window. Miroku and Sango told them there was no use turning back seeing as how they had the keys and couldn't get back in to their suites. Miroku pulled up in the parking lot of the Goshinboku, supposedly the hottest club in town, located by the lake. They got out of the car and walked up to the entrance to the club. They could hear music and see lights flashing even before they entered.
Kagome turned see actually see Inuyasha for the first time tonight. As usual he had on a baseball cap and sunglass but what really caught her it attention is what he was wearing. He wore some black jean pants and white sleeveless muscle shirt covered by a button down the front maroon shirt left open. Kagome turned her head away from him and blushed.
Inuyasha had seen her staring at him and noticed her blush. ('She looks great tonight. Maybe I should tell her....nah, she just like those girls from high school...') he thought slipping a hand into his right pocket to feel the shikon jewel necklace in there. He always brought it on every date he went on as a good luck charm. He sighed, ('She probably has a boyfriend now anyway.')
They walked in and found an empty booth. Miroku and Sango began talk and she found out she could really enjoy his company as long as his hands kept their distance.
Inuyasha and Kagome sat next to each other and glared at their friends. "I'll fill her shampoo bottle with mud," muttered Kagome.
"That's nothing...Miroku will find his bed full of itching powder," he found him self smiling at the image of Miroku covered in itching powder. He turned and found Kagome smiling back at him, guessing she had the same image.
"What about some pink coolaid!" she said excited, her eyes full of mischief.
"Nani?"
"You know? Dye his hair pink?" Inuyasha smile widened at the thought of Miroku asking someone to bare his child while he had pink hair.
"You ever can a whiff of Miroku's socks? Would be a nice little present for Sango, what do you think?" he made a perfect Sango expression for when she smell something bad. Kagome had to clench her stomach from laughter and Inuyasha to join her.
They look up to find their friends gone, spotting them on the dance floor. "I guess they got scared," smiled Kagome catching her breath.
"Damn..." he said pounding his fist on the table making Kagome smile.
"Excuse me, have we met before?" said someone in her ear leaning over the booth seat behind her. She turned to see it was Kouga.
"Oh, hi Kouga," she said flatly.
"Oi, dog-turd, what are you doing with MY woman."
"I am NOT your woman! Get it through that thick head of yours!"
"Of course you are. It's meant to be," he grinned at her.
Inuyasha knew Kouga was just another playboy and knew exactly what he wanted. He also knew Kagome wasn't that kind of girl.
"Come on and ditch the dog-turd. I'll show you a great time," he smiled.
Kagome saw his canines were unusually long and noticed them before yesterday. ('Youkai,') thought Kagome suddenly the glare on her face replaced by a look fear. ('The person who's after me is a youkai...') she thought.
Inuyasha could hear he heartbeat quicken and smell the fear radiate off of her as if it was his own. He knew it was Kouga's doing.
"Back off, fucker. Kagome's not going anywhere with you," he said taking Kagome's hand in his and leading her outside. Kouga was about to go after them when someone wrapped their arms around his mid-section. He turned to find a girl with short black hair wearing a black leather halter-top dress that only came to her mid thigh. It was a girl from his science class named was Yura. Soon he forgot about Kagome and was dancing with Yura.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked along the lake. He could hear her heart beginning to slow down. "Daijobu?" concern filling his voice. ('Why do I care') he thought looking at her. He had never known anyone like her. She definitely wasn't like other girls. She made him was to fight with her just because she was cute when she was angry. How did he get so protective of her so fast? They walked far enough from the club to that they didn't hear the music.
"Kagome?" he said bringing her out of her daze. "Daijiobu?"
"Hai..A-Arigato..."
"Feh, I couldn't let him near you. Sango would kill me!" he said making her smile slightly. He began staring at the ground feeling kinda awkward.
"Well, this has been an interesting night..." she said hugging her self, not knowing if it was from the cold or fear.
"Very..." he said taking off his outer shirt and placing it around her shoulders. "Here, take this," he said thrusting his hands in his pockets and playing with the shikon jewel necklace in one of them.
"Arigato," she said smiling shyly. "What's that?" she asked catching a glimpse of some kind of jewel.
"Oh...umm...just some good luck charm..."
"Can I see?"
Inuyasha took out the jewel and handed it to her. Her eyes looked up at him widening. "Where did you get this?"
"From a friend...a long time again..." he said suddenly thinking of how he reminded her of the girl who gave his the necklace eight years ago.
"Where is she now?" she looked up at him.
"I have no clue," he sighed. "But I never forgot her..."
Kagome stared at the shikon jewel necklace in her hand. ('Yeah, forever, no matter what' said an eleven year old Inuyasha in her mind.) She placed the shikon jewel necklace back in his hands the exact same way she had eight years ago. Inuyasha looked down at her, the same look given to him by the girl who gave him the shikon jewel necklace on her face. Kagome smiled up at him knowing they shared the same thought, "I never forgot you either, Inuyasha..."
