I Won't Let You Go
Chapter Two
The Proposal
Kagome sighed to herself as she walked out of the bath room and into her own room. Closing the door behind her, she started to go through her closet on what she would wear tonight. Slightly glancing at the Shikon No Tama on her night table, she chose on wearing a red dress that was about as long as her uniform skirt. ^I wonder what Hojo wants to do tonight. I told him I might not be able to go out tonight, but he insisted that it was urgent^ thought Kagome as she pulled on the dress and started to comb her hair also using the blow dryer.
Once her hair was dry Kagome pulled her hair up into a bun and grabbed some red high heels under bed and started to put her make up on. Finally she was ready and went downstairs to wait for Hojo.
**************************************************************************** ****
Unknown to Kagome, a certain half demon leaped out of the well, and in a few leaps and bounds landed on her roof. Leaning over the edge of the roof, he stared into Kagome's room, but noticed she wasn't in there, but he could smell that she was home. Climbing into her room, he closed the window behind him. Her light was off, so it was completely dark in her room. Inu-Yasha almost jumped out of his skin as he heard a sort of ringing echo through out the house. He then remembered Kagome had called that a 'door bell' or something like that.
"Kagome, it's Hojo!"
Inu-Yasha recognized the voice as Kagome's mom, but growled deep in his throat at the sound of that Hobo guys name. Heading back out the window, Inu-Yasha landed in the god tree so he could see the porch better. A boy was standing near the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Kagome suddenly appeared at the door, and thanked him for the gift. Inu-Yasha turned his ear slightly so he coul hear them.
"Wel, shall we go?" asked Hojo extending his arm.
"Sure, just let me grab my coat," said Kagome handing the flowers to her mom. "Okay, I'm ready,"
She took his arm and Hojo escorted her down the stairs to the streets below.
Inu-Yasha scratched his head. ^Why would she come back to get all dressed up to go somewhere with that guy?^ Inu-Yasha thought to himself. Finally deciding, Inu-Yasha came to the conclusion that he would follow them and see what they did.
Hojo lead Kagome down the street towards the resturaunt he had made reservations at. "After dinner, does a movie sound okay?" asked Hojo.
"A movie sounds fine to me," smiled Kagome. "But why couldn't we go out on a date tomorrow? Why tonight?"
"You'll see soon enough," smiled Hojo as he escorted her into the resturaunt.
**************************************************************************** ****
Inu-Yasha waited patiently outside the strange building. From his view in the tree, he was right by the window where Kagome and he boy were eating the strangest food that he had ever seen. He was glad that they were only talking, so he decided lean back against the tree and wait. Sighing, he remembered what had happened earlier in the evening. Kikyo had found him . . . .
FLASH BACK
Inu-Yasha rested his back against the trunk of the God tree. He would have stayed in the hut with the others, but as usual they were being too noisy. The half demon was about to head back, but caught onto the scent of someone familar. His eyes widened as Kikyo stepped out of the bushes, surrounded by her soul catchers.
"Kikyo . . . " said Inu-Yasha in barely a whisper.
"Inu-Yasha . . . come . . . it is time for us to journey to hell . . . together . . ." whispered Kikyo.
Inu-Yasha was silent for the moment, but his gaze never left Kikyo's, "Kikyo . . . I can't . . ."
"What? Why not?"
"I . . I have to do something first . . . but please . . . I will go with you . . . can you just be a little bit more patient . . . please,"
Kikyo studied his face for a moment, before walking forward, wrapping her arms around his strong arms, and pecking him on the lips with hers. "I will be patient for now, but know this you will go to hell with me Inu- Yasha," smiled Kikyo as she disappeared into the forest again. Sighing, Inu-Yasha sniffed the air and realized Kagome was near by. ^Shit! Did she see me again?^ thought Inu-Yasha. Sniffing the air agai, he sighed realizing that she was near the well. Running and leaping through the trees, he saw Kagome walking alone to the bone eaters well. Wondering why she was going home so soon, Inu-Yasha waited a while before following her into the future
END OF FLASH BACK
Sighing, Inu-Yasha stared at the window again and to his surprise, Kagome and the boy were gone, Slightly panicing Inu-Yasha sniffed the air and realized the were walking away from him. Leaping into the air he saw them walking towards what Kagome had called a 'park' or somethin along that line. Inu-Yasha smiled, with the trees and bushes, it would be alot easier for him to hid in.
"It sure is a beautiful tonight," said Hojo as he stared up at the stars.
Kagome nodded as she leaned her head against Hojo's shoulder, "Yeah, it sure is, oh hey look! Fire works!" cried Kagome.
They stopped along the path as they watchd the firworks explode and cover the night sky.
Inu-Yasha was even amazed from his spot in a tree near by.
"Kagome . . . can I ask you something?" asked Hojo in a stuttering voice.
"Sure you can Hojo,"
Hojo suddenly pulled her into his arms and wrapped them tightly around her, her head resting on his shoulder. Inu-Yasha growled deep in his throat and had the urge to go down there and rip the two apart. But he didn't dare for two reasons. One Kagome would most likely sit him a thousand times, and two, he was surprised that she didn't pull back and out of the boys embrace.
"Kagome . . . I've known you since we were little, and we've always been friends . . . but these past years . . . our relationship has grown . . . hasn't it?"
"Yes it has Hojo," whispered Kagome.
Hojo held Kagome tighter and rested his chin on the top of her head. "Kagome . . I love you . . ."
"And I love you too Hojo," said Kagome although she wasn't quite sure if she really meant it. Thoughts of Inu-Yasha started to creep into her mind, but she blocked them out. She was here with Hojo, the boy . . . no . . . man that loved her.
"Kagome I love you so much . . . that I want to spend the rest of my life with you," whispered Hojo.
Inu-Yasha leaned closer, trying to see what this Hojo kid was trying to say. It made him furious that the boy had said he loved Kagome, but it hurt him to hear Kagome say it back to him.
"Kagome . . ." Hojo released her and got down on one knee, pulling something out of his pocket in the process, "Will you marry me?" asked Hojo holding out a gold ring with red jewels around it.
Kagome didn't move . . .she didn't even know if she was breathing. ^He wants me to marry him? Oh gods what do I say? Do I say no? What about Inu-Yasha? No . . . I can't think about him, after all he loves Kikyo . . not me . . . just Kikyo. I have to try and forget about him before he breaks my heart even more^
"Kagome please say something your started to freak me out," pleaded Hojo.
Inu-Yasha almost fell out of the tree when he heard Hojo ask Kagome to marry him, and had his fingers crossed that she would say no.
"Yes," whispered Kagome.
Hojo laughed out in joy and placed the ring around her finger. Pulling her forward he kissed her pasionately on the lips, and Kagome kissed him back just the same.
Inu-Yasha stared at the scene below . . . and he couldn't move. His ears drooped down and he lowered his head to stare at the ground. Not wanting to be seen by Kagome, the half demon stood up, and ran back the Higurashi house, to figure out what he would do with this situatuion.
