Chapter 9
They walk to the park which was right next to the dance hall.
As they were walking, they struck up a conversation. "What was all of
that back there?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shook her head. "All of my
school friends were coming over. I could tell that they were curious
who you were. I would want to put you through meeting them." Inuyasha
said, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask. Was my acting at your house good?"
Kagome said, "Unreal. I couldn't believe it. You did very well, Inuyasha.
Don't worry about that." They saw a park bench. She said, "Let's go sit
down."
They sat down on the bench. Inuyasha asked, "How is you leg?"
Kagome said, "It's doing better than what it was before." Inuyasha said,
"Good. I'm glad." There was a small silence. Then Kagome asked, "I can't
take this anymore. Who taught you how to dance?" Inuyasha laughed. "You
don't believe me, do you?" Kagome said, "I'm not sure yet." Inuyasha
said, "Who could I of learned from?" Kagome said, "I don't know.
Maybe... Miroku?" Inuyasha bursted out with laughter. "You obviously
haven't seen Miroku dance. Miroku CAN'T dance." Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha said, "If you don't believe that I learned how to dance that
quick, what would you think if I memorized the songs?" Kagome thought,
'He memorized the songs? Yeah right.' Kagome must of had a face on.
Inuyasha said, "You don't believe me about this either, do you?" Kagome
looked down. Inuyasha started singing a song. Kagome thought, 'He can
sing too.' Kagome didn't let her amazement show. She said, "Ha! That
was the second song." Inuyasha said, "That was the first. The second one
went like this." He sang some more. Kagome thought, 'Acting... Singing...
Dancing...I can't forget the best one, kissing. He is so full of
surprised. I never knew he could do things such as this.'
After Kagome's leg felt better, they began to walk back to
Kagome's house. It was only a few blocks away. Kagome was hobbling as
fast as she could to keep up with Inuyasha. "Am I going to fast?"
Inuyasha asked. Kagome said, "A little." Inuyasha slowed down. They
were walking for a little while. Kagome could swear that she heard
someone yelling her name. She stopped to see if she heard it again.
Inuyasha asked, "What's up? Is it your leg?" Kagome said, "I could of
swore that someone was yelling my name." Then it came again. "Kagome!"
yelled one of the girls from school. They were a block away. Kagome
sped walked as fast as she could. Inuyasha had to speed walk just to
keep up with her. 'Why is she so scared of her friends in this era?'
Inuyasha thought.
Kagome was hoping that they would think that she is someone
else or that she would reach her house before they could reach her.
Kagome friends got to her before she could reach home. "Hey, Kagome.
We saw you at the dance. Why didn't you come say hi?" Yuka said.
Kagome whispered, "I kind of was on a date." Eri looked past Kagome at
Inuyasha. Ayumi asked, "Where did you find him?" Kagome was really
annoyed at this point. "Just so you know he found me and I have a quest
ion. Why do you act like you own your boyfriends?" Eri whispered to her
other school friends, "That was a symptom of Scleroderma." Kagome was
really mad. She was so mad her eyebrow was twitching. Inuyasha saw
Kagome's face. 'I thought that she only got that face at me. She must
really be ticked.' Inuyasha decided to step in. "Kagome, we got to go."
Inuyasha said. Kagome was really relieved. "Oh, yeah. See you later"
she said to her friends.
Once they were back at Kagome's house, Kagome said, "Thank you.
I owe you one." Inuyasha shook his head. "No. You owe me two." Kagome
said, "What's the other one for?" Inuyasha said, "That act that I put
on for your mother." Kagome said, "Yeah, I owe you two." Inuyasha
smiled. Kagome said, "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be come
to search for some jewel shards." Kagome began to walk away. Inuyasha
said, "Wait a minute. Don't I get a kiss goodbye?" Kagome rolled her
eyes. "Do you have any idea how stupid that sounded. Inuyasha, act like
yourself." Inuyasha took her into his arms and quickly kissed her. "Is
that any better?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome said, "Much better. I still
have to finish packing. See you." Inuyasha said, "Yeah. See you
tomorrow." Inuyasha watched Kagome go into her house. He almost didn't
want to leave. Little did Kagome know that he watched over her night
since he met her. He smiled at the thought.'Kagome, all of this time
I have fallen head over heels for you and you seem not to notice. I
see now that you are much different than Kikyo and I never should of
compared you two. It's comparing the day to the night. I will tell you.'
Kagome went strait up to her room and laid on her bed. 'This is the life.'
she thought. She looked out her window and saw the sacred tree with the
moonlight shining behind it. 'Inuyasha, I have known for a while now that
I love you. Why can't I tell it to you?' Kagome brought her pillow closer
to her and snuggled with it. 'Inuyasha.' As if on cue, there was a loud
banging on the window. Kagome jumped up from her bed and Inuyasha came in.
"Kagome..." he began. He took a deep breathe. "I know I have never been
very good with words. I know that I would always make you mad and I regret
everything that I have ever done to hurt you and..." he paused and looked
deep into her eyes. He took a step closer and gave her another kiss.
"...I love you." Kagome just stared at Inuyasha, astonished at what he
just said. Inuyasha sat there, wondering what she would say. Then he
thought, 'Sit.' He braced himself for the impact of his face on the ground,
but it never came. In it's place was a response. "I love you too..." Inuyasha
Stared at Kagome as she finished. "...I figured that out a long time ago. I
just." She paused for a moment. "I was scared of being rejected." Inuyasha
pulled her into a hug. "You didn't have to be scared of me. It might have
helped me along, because I was scared too." Kagome looked up into his amber
eyes. They seemed to have changed. His eyes that used to be so full of anger
when they first met was now eyes of love, compassion, longing, and relief.
She smiled. He took the chance to kiss her again. One kiss that they never
wanted to end.
