Rikku: I don't have a clue about what I'm going to write about in this chapter.... maybe I'll make up something on the way- hopefully. Anyway, everyone knows what's happened so far, right? And in case you haven't then you know what to do.... and if you don't then you need serious help.
I forgot to add that I've been having thoughts. Since this fic is slowly coming to an end, I've been thinking about writing a sequel.... please give me a few suggestions, and I might think further into this, arigatou!
I do not own InuYasha
Drumroll please.....
**********************
Chapter 12: Nothing Like a Date with.... Guess who??
Kagome laid on her bed sobbing and soaking up her pillow with all her tears. She hadn't slept all night, it was early morning and the sun was almost back from what seemed like a vacation.
The only thought in her mind was if InuYasha meant it all. What he had said... could it have been all lies.... the love he had told her about, was it all just a fantasy or a bad dream... if it was then Kagome was waiting desperately for her alarm clock to sound and wake up from the whole mess...
She felt herself daze off.... she wanted to disappear and end it all.... she couldn't handle it...
Love.
Hate.
Lies.
What did it all mean? And most importantly, what was it worth?
'Him...'
"What?" Kagome lifted her head from the pillow, her cheeks stained with tears. Her mind was telling her this, but her heart was telling her that. Which one was she to trust? Her mind told her that it was all one big lie, but her heart told her that he was worth it all....
The sound of heart break was deafening, though only Kagome could hear it.
'Wait... heart break??' she thought to herself. 'Why does that word have so much impact??'
She felt her hand reach for the phone, she dialed the only number that came to mind.
It started to ring.
"Hello?" answered a cheerful, female voice.
"Hello... Sango-chan?" Kagome said weakly. Her voice was shattered.
"Kagome-chan? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but I need you to come over..." her voice was now weakening with each word.
"Um... ok sure. But are you sure you'll be fine?"
"Ya... I-I'll be ok, but I need you to come, like right NOW."
Kagome could almost hear Sango nod. "Ya, I'm on my way, see ya."
"Ja.."
She turned off her phone and placed it on the dresser. Slowly getting up, she made her first stop her closet. Hundredths of different outfits hung from clothes hangers. But Kagome was too upset to actually go through them all, she took out her school uniform, but paused before she put it on. She was having second thoughts.
"Kagome honey." her mother called, barging into her room. "Get ready for school."
"I-I'm not going to school today..." Kagome replied.
"Wh-" but after eyeing Kagome's condition she nodded and left without another word.
Kagome hung her uniform up in its usually spot and took out a different outfit: a white collared, sleeveless top and a denim (sp?) skirt.
After locking her door, she slipped on the outfit (Rikku: No details for the perverted people. *Gives Miroku an accusing glare*)
She sat down on the edge of her bed again and studied her room for a bit...
Baby-blue walls, posters of her favourite anime/mangas, (e.g. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION!!!) and a tint of pink everywhere. At first glance, one would say it belonged to a cheerful and self-confident person, but then again, first impression can't always be right, ne?
"Kagome-chan?" came a worried voice. Sango's worried voice to be correct.
"Hai... I'm coming." Kagome unlocked her door and swung it open, dully.
Sango eyed Kagome just like her mother did and sighed. "What now, Kagome?"
Kagome turned to sit on her bed. "I-It's nothing... I'm not feeling well so I can't go to school... I-I was gonna ask you to get my homework..."
Sango rolled her eyes and sat next to Kagome. "Oh please, you think I'm stupid, don't ya?"
"Nani?"
"Kagome-chan, we've been friends ever since we were toddlers, you think I won't know when there's something going on?"
Kagome was the one to sigh this time. She gave Sango a stern look, "Nothing's going on..."
"Don't lie to me."
"I'm not!"
Sango didn't respond, but her expression said everything.
Kagome turned to look elsewhere. "Alright... you caught me, I'm lying."
"So....? You mind telling me what's up?"
"It's just.... Lately I've been struggling with my feelings because...the other day I had a little talk with... 'him'..."
"InuYasha?" Sango's voice had gotten tense.
"Hai.... I apologized to him about the party thing and all and.... I guess that talk had an effect on him..."
"Like...?"
"He came to see me last night and took me out on a walk-"
Sango gasped. "How late?"
Kagome laughed nervously. "Around 2.... in the morning..."
Sango's eyes narrowed. "Did he try anything?"
Kagome jumped at the question. "C-course not!! Who do you take him for?"
Sango didn't answer.
Kagome calmed herself and continued talking. "H-he told me that he'd learn to see the real me... not Kikyo.."
Her friend gave her a puzzling look and Kagome realized that she hadn't told her about Kikyo yet. "I'll explain later..." Sango nodded.
"He told me th-that..." Kagome stuttered.
"He told you he loved you, didn't he?" Sango inquired.
Kagome nodded.
"And you told him you felt the same way?" It seemed Sango was the one telling the story now.
She nodded again.
"And he ruined the moment?"
She nodded once more.
Sango sighed. "Typical..."
"But he didn't mean it!!" Kagome cried, but her voice weakened at that. "At least I think so.... h-he took me to see the place where he first met Kikyo- his dead ex. I stormed off thinking, that ya know.." Sango nodded again. "But before I left he said he never meant to offend me, but that little voice in the back of my head told me different..." 'Wait...' she thought. 'Why am I defending him?'
Expecting comforting words from her friend, Kagome was surprised to see Sango get up and head for the door.
"Listen, Kagome you've been thinking way too much about this guy, figure it out on your own."
Kagome had hurled a pillow at Sango before she could leave but she quickly dodged it and left without another word. 'Well that was a lot of help...' Kagome thought sarcastically. She got up to retrieve her pillow, placing it in it's usual spot and slapped herself mentally. 'Damn it! Sango's too good, now I can't use that bet thing against her.... she saw right through me. But there's still Miroku... oh, he's no fun! He bruises like a prune!' (Rikku: I got that from 'Friends' and I do not own the show- just mentioning that to get on the safe side.)
Sighing, Kagome grabbed her keys and left.
*******
She looked up to the sky as she wandered the streets; they seemed to be the best place for her to relax.... and it was the place where she met InuYasha. Kagome yelled in fustration, why was it that he was the only thing on her mind? Another battle with emotions- and Kagome was destined to lose.
'What am I going to do?' she asked herself. 'I have no place to go and the last thing I want to- OOHH!!' Kagome silenced her negative thinking to window shop at a new anime/manga store. 'I wonder if I can get one with Rikku on it.....' (Rikku: I know, I'm loved!! *Stares at the unblinking crowd that formed around her* ^.^' Jokez, jokez, pure jokez- don't sue me!)
********
Kagome gave her watch a quick glance- 1pm. She struggled to hold up her heavy bags which were filled with anime merchandise and mangas she had bought. "I think I'll go home now..." she told herself. "I guess shopping really cleared my mind.... I feel much better!"
But it was too soon to rejoice-
"Kag baby!!"
Uh-oh.
Why her?
And for like the-
What?
5th, 6th or 7th time?
She sighed heavily and turned. "Konnichiwa, Kouga!" she said, with a fake cheerful expression that anyone could see through- well, 'anyone' didn't include Kouga...
When he reached her, he shook his head in fake disapproval. "Skipping Kagome? Tsk, tsk." he smirked. "And I never thought you had the guts to-"
"I'm not skipping..." she protested.
He blinked twice. "Oh, then you're not feeling well?"
Kagome frowned slightly. Something about his voice sounded like he... cared. Maybe his crush wasn't an average one... and Kagome was actually sorry she hadn't noticed it before. She almost felt... bad. "I-I didn't get enough sleep..." she lied... well, not really, after all she hadn't slept all night.
He gave her a worried look. And Kagome couldn't help but blush slightly. "You gonna be ok?"
She nodded, which put a smile back on the boy's face. She chuckled at the sight of it.
"What?" he asked, stunned. "Is there something on my face?"
"No, silly..." she chuckled again. "I'm just glad... to see you happy."
He blushed at the comment and lowered his head. "Well um... Kagome, I was wondering...."
"Hai?"
"S-since we're both not at school and er- single..."
A puzzled look was placed on Kagome's face. 'Single?'
"I thought that maybe we could er- ya know, hit the movies.... have lunch er- together..." Kagome could almost see his face burn up.
"As in a date?"
"H-hai..."
Kagome laughed nervously. 'Should I give him a chance?? He looks like he deserves it... but then I would be lying to InuYasha... my words were so clear to him... when I confessed my love, that is. But... I am still unsure about InuYasha's feelings for me, so.... therefore nothing has happened between us... nothing big, I mean... so it wouldn't hurt to...'
"So...?" Kouga inquired, impatiently.
"I accept." Kagome replied, without thinking twice.
Kouga's face lightened up and it looked as if he had been happier than he had ever been, Kagome smiled at the thought.
The boy grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her with him as he ran. Kagome almost tripped- Kouga was overwhelmed with joy.
"-and we'll go watch a movie, er- a chick flick, if that's what you're into, I don't mind, and-"
Kagome was hardly listening to his plans, but wouldn't dare to interrupt. She didn't want to ruin the boy's moment and maybe a date was the perfect cure for depression...
"-and any restaurant of your choice-"
Kagome sighed, it was going to be a long day.
*******
After enjoying the movie- yes, Kagome DID enjoy it- Kagome was brought to a small restaurant for lunch by her date- he chose after Kagome had refused to. She honestly didn't know any good places in her town, even though she grew up there but the restaurant Kouga chose was great.
The two of them waited for their food to arrive after ordering, both completely silent. Kagome noticed that Kouga was staring intensely at her and couldn't help but blush. Their date was great so far, and Kagome even learned that behind that tough guy image was a sweet guy. They shared laughs, engaged into deep conversation and well- had a great time.
But a thought arised at the moment that could have ruined the rest of her date...
'If only it were InuYasha....'
Kagome avoided Kouga's eyes, taking a drink from her water and holding back tears.
'If only...'
She wanted to tell that little voice to shut up, but couldn't because that was how she REALLY felt...
'He will always be the only one for you.... face it....'
Kagome looked up to Kouga. "Excuse me..." she said, Kouga nodded and she left for the washroom.
Locking the door, she sulked quietly. She couldn't deal with it... it was the truth after all. But she didn't want to hurt Kouga's feelings. She brushed away her tears as she opened the door. 'Don't ruin it for him...' she told herself.
When she sat down, Kouga gave her a worried look but she smiled to show that she was ok- which was completely untrue. The food came and they ate quietly, neither of them saying a word.
After they finished, Kouga politely payed the bill. (Rikku: Aww... how sweet... *slaps herself* gotta keep in mind that this is an Inu&Kagome fic...) They left together and once again, entered the busy streets, it was only 4pm.
Kouga attempted to hold Kagome's hand as they walked, but she pulled it away. He wasn't offended in the least.
"How was it?" he asked, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Nani?"
"The date.... did you enjoy yourself?"
"Oh..." Kagome looked at him and smiled. "It was great!"
It looked as if Kouga would have given himself a high-five- if he could, that is. "Great!! How about we do this again?"
Kagome laughed nervously. "Well, er- I'm kinda off um... dating.." A frown had found it's way to Kouga's face. "Not because of you, though!" Kagome assured him, he smiled again. "I'm er- trying to get back on track with all my studying... but believe me, the date was great! I loved every second of it!!"
Kouga grinned- a grin that sent chills down Kagome's spine. She turned to leave but he grabbed her shoulder.
"What, no good-bye kiss?"
Kagome froze, sweat dripping down her face. She turned slowly and looked at the er- desperate boy. She gulped as he pulled her toward him, he leaned in and Kagome shut her eyes. She waited for it to be over...
.....
.....
.....
.....
But nothing came... she opened one eye and saw Kouga smirking. He laughed.
"Don't worry, I don't do that kinda stuff on first dates." he chuckled. "Well, ja!!"
Kagome laughed nervously once more. "Ya, um... Ja ne!" she called to his retrieving back.
She turned around, sweating worse than ever. "Phew... that was close...."
But she couldn't help but smile... Kouga was sly, which was humourous- in a way. She honestly had fun with him, but she would be taking a risk to do it again....
*********************
Rikku: It's not that long, is it? Oh well, it was funny, right? RIGHT?? *Watches the frightened people nod* Heh-heh, well I'm glad you enjoyed it.... and even though Kouga and Kagome have their moments in this fic, don't worry- it's InuYasha and Kagome all the way!!! Hear that? *Glares at Kikyo* Sucker... *Evil grin*
Well... that was- odd. Nevermind though, I wanna thank everyone that reviewed, there aren't much of them, but I'm thankful, considering that this is my first fic...
Oh ya! And I'm thinking about using 'AN:' instead of always using 'Rikku:' whenever I er- interrupt this fic. Good idea, right? RIGHT? *The frightened people nod again* Heh-heh, I'm sooo good.
I forgot to add that I've been having thoughts. Since this fic is slowly coming to an end, I've been thinking about writing a sequel.... please give me a few suggestions, and I might think further into this, arigatou!
