Chapter - 6 - Mystery Romeo
Kagome stood outside the restraunt, feeling a little nervous about meeting her mystery romeo. She was wearing a black dress with spaghetti straps and a skirt that ended just above her knees. It had small silver beaded flowers on the hem and on the straps. "Well, here goes nothing." Kagome whispered.
She adjusted her shawl and entered the restraunt. Kagome approached the host and said "Hello, my name is Kagome and I'm here for the Romeo reservation."
The host turned and said, "Ahh, yes Miss. Higurashi, this way please."
He grabbed a menu and led Kagome to a romantic candlelit table in the corner." the host exclaimed pulling a chair out, "Please have a seat. The waiter will be with you shortly."
Kagome nodded her thanks and the host left. "Well, he's not here." she said softly to herself, " but at least I'm not late."
Twenty minutes later, Kagome was still sitting alone and was about to leave, when all of a sudden she heard a voice, "Excuse me, but is this seat taken?"
Kagome whirled around and saw Inu-Yasha standing there, wearing a tuxedo. "You!" Kagome exclaimed, standing up, "You're my mystery romeo?"
Inu-Yasha blushed and said "Yeah, it's me. I hope you're not too disappointed with..."
Before Inu-Yasha could finish, Kagome turned around and ran out of the restraunt. Outside, a slight rain began to fall, but Kagome didn't notice. She stood under the overhang and started to cry. Inu-Yasha came outside and saw Kagome crying. "Hey, what's wrong? Did I do something?" Inu-Yasha asked, putting his hand on Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome looked up at Inu-Yasha with watery eyes and said, "Thanks, but I'm ok, it's just that this is the same bistro where my dad proposed to my mom, and that table where I was sitting was the exact same one my parents sat at when they decided to spend the rest of their lives together. The reason I know this is because my mom took me here for my nirthday when I turned five, and she showed me a picture that was taken at the restraunt after she said yes, and to top it all off, seeing you in that tuxedo...reminded me of that picture of my father and it was just too much for me. I'm sorry."
Inu-Yasha grabbed Kagome and embraced her in a hug. "I'm so sorry Kagome, I'm so sorry." He whispered, "I didn't meant to upset you."
"It's ok Inu-Yasha, you meant well. I'm not mad at you." Kagome said as she pushed away. " So, why don't we go inside and have ourselves a nicedinner. It would be a shame to waste such a wonderful evening."
"You read my mind Kagome, you read my mind."
Inu-Yasha smiled and led Kagome back inside to enjoy a wonderful dinner.
