Hey, look! I just found my lucky Blue's Clue's keychain! Aw, Blue, I wuv you. . . *cuddles keychain contentedly*



Chapter 4: The Invitation and. . . . Muffins?

No sooner than Kagome had gotten home did her mother call her.

"Kagome!" She called from the kitchen, "Can you come here?"

"Coming!!!" Kagome called. She walked into the kitchen. "What is it?"

Mrs. Higurashi stopped stirring whatever was in a large pot (does she

do ANYTHING besides cook?!?!) to face Kagome. "Look, I know you're

probably busy, but do you think you could run to the store to buy

some muffins? (I know, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else

besides muffins. . .) I need it for dessert, and I can't leave the stove on

while I'm out, this'll burn. Please?" "Aw, ma . . . do I HAVE to?"

"Please, Kagome? I'm kinda busy here. I'd appreciate it." Kagome

sighed. "Okay." "Thanks." Mrs. Higurashi handed Kagome some

money. She also handed Kagome a list with a few other things that

they'd needed for weeks. "I'll be back soon," Kagome said,

putting the money into her pocket (does her uniform's skirt even HAVE

a pocket?). Then she walked out the door.

"Muffins, muffins. . ." Kagome walked down the aisles of Shikon Mart

(hee hee) looking for the muffins. "They must've rearranged some of

the stuff, last time we went here. . ." Kagome trailed off, and

continued to walk.

MEANWHILE. . .

"Muffins, muffins . . . did it HAFTA be blueberry?" (Muffins?!? What was

I THINKING?!?! Ah, well.) Inuyasha glanced at his hand, which had the

words 'BLUEBERRY MUFFINS' written on it. He was walking, minding

his own business, and. . . .

MEANWHILE. . .

"Okay, there they are. Almost there. . ." Kagome walked,

absentmindedly looking at the list.

*BAM!*

Kagome rubbed her head. Inuyasha did the same. Inuyasha was also

the first to speak. "Watch where you're going!" He snapped. "Hey!

You're the one who wasn't paying attention!" Kagome yelled back. The

two rose quickly. "Whatever." Inuyasha gave Kagome a glare with

those amber eyes of his, then turned to leave. Kagome suddenly

noticed something. "Hold it! Do I . . . know you?" She asked. Inuyasha

stopped in his tracks and turned around. "I dunno. Do you?" He said in

a semi-sarcastic tone. "No, really. . . I think I met you somewhere.

Was it in the park?" "No. Hey, wait a sec . . . . you're that cute girl I met

in the bike shop!" "Um . . . right! The bike shop!" Kagome said, her

cheeks turning a bit pink.

"Yeah. And you're Sango, right?" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome face faulted. "NOOOOO!!! I'm Kagome!!! Ka-go-me!!!!"

Inuyasha got one of those innocently puzzled looks on his face. "Oh

yeah, the OTHER girl, Kagome! You're cute, too." Inuyasha said

shamelessly. Kagome turned crimson. Well, THIS guy certainly isn't

shy. . . She thought. "Yeah, you know MY name, but . . . what was

yours again?" she asked. "It's Inuyasha. Inuyasha Fukamori." He stuck

his hand out, and Kagome shook it. They stood there for what seemed

like an eternity, just shaking hands, until Inuyasha cleared his throat.

"I'm kinda going to need my hand back now. . ." He smiled. Kagome

giggled nervously. "Right . . . well, it was nice meeting you . . . again."

Kagome bowed politely and then began to walk away. There was a

brief silence. "Hey, wait, Kagome!" Inuyasha called suddenly. "Hm?"

Kagome turned back around and walked up to him again. "Yes, what is

it?" she asked. Inuyasha blushed a little (aw, how cute!). "Uh, I was

wondering. . . I mean, if you're not. . . busy, or anything. . . would

you like to go to the movies sometime?" He said. Kagome could feel

her faced reddening for like, the millionth time that day. "I'd love to!"

Kagome said, smiling. "Hey, that's great! Is Saturday okay?"

"Saturday's good. 8:30 or so?" Kagome replied. "All right, cool. See

you then." Inuyasha responded. "Well. . . bye." They said in unison.

And they both turned and walked out of the store, blushing. Neither of

them had purchased what they'd come for.



"HE DID WHAT?!?!" Sango exclaimed over the phone that night.

"Seriously. . .he asked me out." Kagome answered. "Lucky. Hey, does

he have a brother? Close friend? Something?" Sango said, giggling. "I

knew he had the hots for you, the second he winked at you in the

shop. And you liked him too, didn't you?!? You were redder than a

tomato!" There was a bit of an awkward silence. "Well, I guess I did."

Kagome replied. "Yep. I KNEW IT!" Sango yelled over the phone.

"Sango! You're making me go deaf here!" Kagome laughed. "Sorry. . ."

Sango replied.



"SHE DID WHAT?!?" Miroku exclaimed over the phone that night.

"Seriously. . . she actually said yes." "You lucky dog!" Miroku

exclaimed (How ironic is THAT?!?!). "Hey. . . does she have a sister?

Close friend? Something?" He said. "That's pretty weird how you ran

into the same hot girl more than once. Maybe you can fix me up with

the other girl that was there. What's her name? Sango?" "Miroku, calm

down!!" Inuyasha laughed. "Sorry. . ." Miroku replied.



Later, after Kagome got off the phone, she touched the star pendant

around her neck (yes, she is STILL wearing it!). She smiled. "Thank

you, wishing star. Thanks a lot!"



Okay, so chap. 4 is all about Kagome getting asked out! What do you think? I got some ideas for the next chapter, but give me some suggestions if you can on what they should do after the movie!! *Sigh* Ah, love. . . Click the button, you know you want to! Well, anyway, gotta stop now, I can't feel my fingers. Chapter 5 will be up soon . . . until then!

P.S. You may notice a slight difference in the format. Sorry if it's bugging you. I'm experimenting to try to make it easier to read. Vote YES or NO on the new format!!
