Chapter 6
Just as Kagome said, Inuyasha spots Kikyou in the campus, then starts stalking her in a safe distance.
Kikyou is like Kagome at this: Both of them look pretty without trying. Inuyasha has never seen Kikyou in anything but jeans and blouse, yet he always thought she is beautiful. Inuyasha knows everything about the girl, he knows she lives with her grandma, they are poor, but Kikyou always manages to help her grandma and study at the same time. Her simple style drives Inuyasha crazy.
But today, Inuyasha notices something different about her. She's wearing a light purple dress. It has long sleeves and the dress reaches down to her knee, revealing part of her legs. Her dark hair flies straight down her back, flowing.
'She is so beautiful." Inuyasha can't think about anything but that.
Inuyasha is too engaged in his thought that he didn't see Kikyou coming at him, until the moment they are facing each other. By then, Inuyasha is way too surprised to say anything.
"Inuyasha, ask me out or don't follow me anymore, ok?" Kikyou says.
"Um.umm.Kikyou, hi, um.would you .go out with me?" It takes minutes for Inuyasha to finish the sentence.
A slight smile appears on Kikyou 's serious face, she turns, and walks away without another word, leaving Inuyasha stands still, can't believe his own luck.
"Kagome, Kagome!" Inuyasha exclaims when he finally sees Kagome at lunch, "You have no idea what happened today!"
Kagome examines her excited friend closely for a minute, "Well, I think I do. You made a move on Kikyou, didn't you?"
"Better! We are going out tonight! YES! YES! YES!" The whole cafeteria is watching him jumping up and down now.
"Sit down, Inuyasha." Kagome says embarrassingly.
Settling down, Inuyasha still can't help but smile. His work finally paid off.
"So tell me the details." Kagome waits patiently for him to calm down.
"See, I was following her, she..."
"Flowers for you, Ma'am." Someone cuts Inuyasha off.
A big bouquet appears in front of Kagome, it's full of red roses and a little heart shaped card in the middle. Kagome thanks the guy that delivers the roses, carefully picks up the card.
"Can't wait to see you tonight, sweetheart. Sign, your beloved Kouga." Kagome's face turns bright red in a sudden. Kouga certainly is fast.
Inuyasha has already read the note by now, his golden eyes are full of curiosity.
"So who is this Kouga 'friend' I didn't know about, Kagome?"
"Oh, it's just a new friend I met in the morning."
"And you guys are already good enough friends for him to send you roses, red roses?" Inuyasha is not going to let her pass easily.
"Well.he kind of.asked me out." Kagome is still blushing at the roses.
After a few silent moment, Inuyasha suddenly gets a great idea.
"Hey, why don't we double."
"No."
"It'll be fun, we can."
"No."
"How."
"No."
Kagome deserts Inuyasha at the table, runs for the girls' bathroom.
Getting ready for her date, Kagome smiles to herself in the mirror. It's been a little while before she went on a date, tonight should be fun. Kouga doesn't seem all that bright, but at least he has his own style.
"His blue eyes are particularly good looking." Kagome thought.
After a while, she decides on a white dress with high neck and a pair of white sandals, tying up her raven hair high, she finishes up the final touch of her make-up, and turn her heels down stairs.
Much to her surprise, Inuyasha is down there talking to her mom. He's wearing a sky blue shirt with white pants, he looks very handsome.
"What are you doing here, Inuyasha? Aren't you supposed to pick up Kikyou by now?"
"Um, I want to meet this Kouga guy, and make sure he's all right."
Kagome smiles sweetly, Inuyasha always tends to protect her, even now he is on his dream date.
"Oh, I'll be fine, he seems really nice." Kagome assures him.
The three of them all hear the noise of a car coming to a sudden stop. Still in the shock, the door bell rings follow that.
While Mrs. Higurashi is still getting up, Inuyasha already jumps to the door, and is now facing Kouga.
"Hey, Kagome.Who are you?" Kouga is standing by the door with another bunch of flowers.
Inuyasha raises a eyebrow at Kagome's date. He is not as bad as he thought, but he looks a little over.decorated.
"I am Inuyasha, Kagome's friend, if you dare touch her."
"Ahh, hey, Kouga, I'm ready, let's go." Kagome pushes Inuyasha away from the door, after waving back to her mom, she shuts the door at Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha always gives her dates a hard time like a father would.
"Have fun, honey, don't be too late!"
A pissed Inuyasha walks to his car a minute later.
