Ch. 9 A Date?
I stepped out of the car, very relieved to get away from a mad Inuyasha. I felt bad for making him jealous but he wouldn't tell me the real reason he picked me up.
"Uh Inuyasha?" I ventured.
"Yeah?" he looked a little bit hurt, and I felt really bad.
"I was just kidding…" He perked up instantly and looked over at me smugly.
"What did you think I cared whether or not other guys pick you up" I did not like the way that sentence was phrased but I let it slide.
"Of course not" I smiled he looked a little bit shocked.
At lunch that day Sango asked me privately "what is going on?" She noticed that I was avoiding Inuyasha.
"Uh…" was my intelligent answer. I looked at her then at Inuyasha then back to her, and believe it or not she actually understood me.
"Oh I see" she smiled at me.
Miroku leaned down over my shoulder "It's Friday".
"I noticed" and leaned down over my lunch, the week had sped by, talk about boring.
Sango looked as if she had just been struck by a lightning bolt "Friday!", she mouthed, I looked at her, 'ok now that we've mastered the days of the week lets go on to our ABC's' "that means" she smiled "party".
I grimaced, remembering last Friday's party (I shall never drink punch again).
"Miroku, your house?" she asked, smiling ear to ear.
"Yep" he said putting his arm over the nearest female, which was Yura.
"Get your hands away from you perverted pig" 'ok maybe Yura wasn't that bad' I thought.
"Uh my cars in the shop" We all looked over at Inuyasha. " Um well this tree just jumped out of nowhere" he looked very uncomfortable.
"Kagome will take you" Sango volunteered me, she was smiling evilly. I wasn't sure if I wanted to hug her or shoot her for that.
"Uh yeah" I mumbled, I kind of wanted Inuyasha to talk to me again.
"Fine" Inuyasha huffed as if it was some type of punishment.
"Well Inuyasha if you would prefer you can take my car and I'll get a ride with Kagome" Miroku wiggled his eyes suggestively.
Inuyasha jumped up "Like I would let you get in the same car with her, you lecher!"
Sango smiled "Uh Miroku in your perverted ways you may have overlooked that the party will be at your house", Miroku looked at her strangely and mumbled something under his breath, I caught the words "ruin" and "hopes".
I sighed 'these are my friends I better get used to them'.
I was once again in my room trying to decide between jeans or a skirt when the phone rang, "hello?" I asked holding up my two choices.
"Yeah Kagome?" I heard a familiar voice on the other end.
"Yes Inuyasha" I answered.
"Um I thought you might need directions to my house" He said sounding lee smug than usual.
"Hold on let me get a pen"
An hour later my selection had been made, a black mini skirt, and a simple tan drawstring top. I grabbed the car keys and ran out the door.
Inuyasha's house was very elegant looking with white pillars long windows. For a second I couldn't imagine Inuyasha living in a house that was so… I don't know, so orderly looking. Actually I almost turned around thinking this was the wrong house until I saw a very familiar looking mustang. "Whoa" I said aloud "he did run into a tree" the car looked as if it had been wrapped around the tree.
I was about to honk the horn when I saw Inuyasha walking out of the house. He was wearing a pair of khaki pants, a white shirt and greenish-whitish criss-crossed patterned shirt over it. Awwwwe he looked so cute (and trust me I don't mean the Shippou type cute).
He noticed my staring and smiled at me "I look good don't I?" he asked as he moved into the seat next to me.
I blushed furiously "No, I was just wondering if you owned a mirror?" he gave me a mug look, he could tell I was lying.
I saw him look at me for a second and I blushed even more, if that is even possible.
Since Miroku's house was so close, we were only in the car for a few minutes. During that time I reached over and turned on the radio. Inuyasha reached over and turned it off "Hey I liked that song." I protested and turned it back on.
"We are not listening to that crappy girly music" he reached over and switched it off again.
I turned it back on "it's my car"
He turned it off "Well I'm the guest" he smiled.
"Your gonna be walking if you turn it off one more time" I switched it on and he didn't dare turn it back off, I think he thought I was serious.
We pulled up to Miroku's house I actually had to park down the street since there were very few spaces left
Let me tell you something Miroku's parties are just a bit wilder than Sango's. The first thing I noticed when I entered was that Miroku was already a bit whoozy. Trust me there is nothing more entertaining than a whoozy Miroku.
"Hey Inuychaaaaaaaa and Gagomeeeeeeeee" he stumbled over his words.
I looked at him with wide eyes, then over to Inuyasha who was smirking "You trying to break a record for getting drunk Miroku? The party started what? Like ten minutes ago?" Miroku smiled and by the look he was giving me I could tell he wasn't that out of it.
Inuyasha noticed this too "Don't look don't touch" I blushed and decided I should have worn the jeans.
"Is Sango here yet?" I asked Miroku, who was now trying not to look at me thanks to Inuyasha's threats.
"Uh no" he was focusing on the wall to the right. Actually he really did look interested in it I looked at it quickly to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Nope, just a plain old wall. I looked at Inuyasha and gave him a face that asked, "Is he going to be alright?" Inuyasha nodded.
Inuyasha and I walked over to where the snacks were and I eyed the punch warily. Inuyasha noted this and looked like he was about to laugh, "Don't want a repeat of last week?" he asked and I was very surprised that he wasn't laughing.
I looked around the room for any other familiar faces, unfortunately I found one making her way towards us. I instantly wrapped my arms around Inuyasha's waist and led him towards the dance area. He looked shocked at this sudden display of affection but he put his arm around my shoulder and slightly blushed.
Before we reached the dance area an obnoxiously shrill voice filled the air, "Inuyasha come dance with me" We turned to see Kikyo trying to get Inuyasha to comply with her by giving an innocent looking face (not that she could look innocent), this did not work very well.
"No, Kikyo, I don't want to dance" Inuyasha tightened his hold on me (whether this was intentional or not was hard to tell).
"But Inu" she said using a bit of a squeaky voice "You were heading towards the dance floor anyways" she glared icily at me.
"Not with you" he turned and left, dragging me with him. He looked down at me once we were out of Kikyo's earshot, "wanna dance?"
"But I thought you said that you didn't want to dance" I said playfully trying to step away from him.
He held me tight though and growled a little "I want to dance with you", I smiled and nodded. He was very convincing at times (ok, so when was he not?).
We once again tried to make our way towards the dance floor, but this time we were stopped by someone stepping in front of us. "Hello Kagome" I looked up to see Naraku grab my wrists.
Inuyasha growled and shoved Naraku away "What the hell do you want asshole?", Naraku's eyes glinted maliciously.
"Kagome of course" Inuyasha stepped in front of me and growled.
"Get out Naraku!" Inuyasha looked like he might kill someone.
"Yeah Naraku Out!" I saw Kouga and Miroku step up beside him. I saw Naraku's expression change slightly, even if he thought he could face Inuyasha I don't think he thought he could deal with all three of them.
"No need to get angry" he smiled smugly "fair well Kagome" with that he turned and walked off. Now all three of the guys in front of me turned and looked at me.
"I didn't need your help" Inuyasha glanced at Miroku and Kouga.
"Oh that's gratitude for ya" Miroku's drunkenness seemed as if it had worn off. Then Miroku gave me a genuinely worried look "You ok?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine" I smiled weakly, Inuyasha gave me concerned gaze.
I looked around us and for the first time noted the crowd that had encircled us. Kouga looked unnoted "Come on shows over" he shooed away the mob of teens.
"Kagome what happened?" Sango was running towards us. I took a minute and explained what had happened. "Oh" she took in a deep sigh "guess we're gonna have to use my plan earlier than we thought?" I nodded.
I felt someone gently pull on my arm I looked to see Inuyasha leading me outside. "Uh Kogome?" he asked timidly, looking down at his feet, 'what? Is he acting shy again?' I thought. "Uh, well see…" he looked up at me "do ya umm doyoukindofwanttogotothemovies or something?" he looked at down at his shoes again.
"Yes!" I said with a little to much enthusiasm. We went back inside and danced.
As I drove Inuyasha home (early I might add) the car was filled with a very comfortable silence. I was smiling actually I had been smiling since he asked me, and I didn't feel like stopping now. I felt a little bit sad when I pulled up to Inuyasha's house, even though we hadn't said anything I liked having him in my car. "Uh Kagome" he asked "So is tomorrow night good?" he looked hopeful.
"Yes" I smiled "I'll pick you up around seven" I almost giggled, 'wasn't that normally a guy line?'.
He nodded and stepped out of the car, I waved at him before driving off. I was in a daze, "Oh yeah he likes me" I yelled from my car (luckily I was far from his house by then). My little happy daze though almost hit a truck (I blame it on the daze, it's not my fault).
I slept very nicely that night.
A/N did any one notice that I didn't end it with a cliffhanger. Oh yeah um to clear up a few questions I got from people, number one everything in the story (except for this part at the end where it will say either authors notes or A/N) is from Kagome's point of view. Number to the moving thing will get more clear later (no thanks to the idiot author who keeps forgetting to put in parts about it). And number three, yes I do make most of this up off the top of my head.
Oops and I almost forgot (well actually I did) since I was too stupid to figure out what a disclaimer was I didn't have one on the last 8 chapters so her it is;
I do not and never have owned Inuyasha, and probably never will (sniff sniff).

I grimaced, remembering last Friday's party (I shall never drink punch again).
"Miroku, your house?" she asked, smiling ear to ear.
"Yep" he said putting his arm over the nearest female, which was Yura.
"Get your hands away from you perverted pig" 'ok maybe Yura wasn't that bad' I thought.
