Chapter Five
They drove onto the outskirt of town to the fanciest restaurant in Japan. They stopped at valet parking. The sign said 'Fugakyu'. (A/n this is a real place in Boston, MA)
"Oh my gosh, Inuyasha, can you afford this?" Kagome asked him as they got off.
"Who said I was paying?" Inuyasha smirked.
"WHAT?!" Kagome and Sango screamed.
"Don't worry, my late father's best friend, Myouga, works here, he can get us in for free." Inuyasha held his arm out to escort Kagome in. Miroku did the same for Sango to come with him. Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, "So, do you consider this a date?"
Kagome smiled at him, "Sure."
They walked in and the ambiance was elegant, the dress everyone was in trendy/casual or smart casual so they fit right in.
"Name sir?" The man in the reservation stand asked.
"Inuyasha, I am the friend of the manager and a party of four." Inuyasha said.
"Of course, you're lucky we have an opening at such a busy night."
They walked over to a table near the window, but it wasn't a booth. Inuyasha and Miroku pulled out the chairs for the girls. Inuyasha sat across from Kagome and nest to Miroku and Sango sat across from Miroku and next Kagome.
The waitress gave out the menus and Miroku groped her and received a slap from her and a kick in the shin under the table from Sango. "You said you'd stop!"
"I said I'd try and cut back on it." Miroku said trying to defend himself.
"Well, this isn't going to work if you don't act your age." Sango said while looking at her menu. Inuyasha and Kagome ignored them and looked at their menus also.
A waiter came back to take their order. "Are you ready to order?"
"I'll have the tempera." Sango replied.
"I'll have the sashimi." Kagome said.
"I'll have the yakiniku." Miroku said and put down his menu in the pile the girls had formed.
"I guess, I'll take the kushiage and we'll all start with the ginger- iceberg salad." Inuyasha finished.
"Any drink or desert?" The waiter asked while writing everything down.
"Umm, flower tea and green tea ice cream everyone?" Miroku said and looked around the table. They all nodded.
"Thank you, it'll take 10 minutes to prepare your food." The waiter said and left. The table was slanted so everyone at the table could see outside the tall window. The stars were shining brightly, despise that they were in the city, but they were also near the county where there were no lights. Their food arrived and the meal was very silent for the first part. Kagome and Sango finished early and waiting for the desert so they went to the bathroom together.
"Ever notice how ladies always go into the bathroom in pairs?" Miroku asked Inuyasha after a while.
"Yeah, it's strange, I wonder what they could be doing in there, and it's been 15 minutes. Besides that, the desert hasn't even come yet." Inuyasha said.
The girls were having a little conversation. "Ok, so how is the plan going?" Sango asked while reapplying her blush.
"I don't know, it's an official date, but to make him fall madly in love with me is another story." Kagome said while working on her white eye shadow.
"Well, if you ask me, I think it's going great, when you were eating and he was drinking his tea, he was staring at you. That's when his tea overflowed and went on his shirt."
"Ha ha, well, how long before you think this plan will take from this point?"
"I dunno maybe a week? HE seems REALLY interested in you."
"I guess, I mean from day one, he was flirting with me."
"I guess he's doing a better job than you are. You need to flirt with him more."
"From what I know, we're already dating... so there's really no need to flirt."
"Tell that to Miroku." Sango finished her make up.
Kagome laughed, "Well, Inuyasha is different. With his brain, he probably thinks we're already a couple." Kagome said as she finished her make up, too.
"Then you need to borrow his brain. Think that you're a couple and start acting like it!" Sango said as they walked out and back to the table. They sat down and ate their desert.(a/n, ok the food I named earlier... no idea what they are except that they are real food and the flower tea and green tea ice creamyumm)
It was 9:00 when they got back to the restaurant and Sango and Kagome left in Kagome's car to get home.
"That was very ungentlemanly like to not take a woman to her home and give her a good night kiss after a date like that." Miroku stated to Inuyasha when they got home to their apartment.
"Well, I don't even know where they live."
"Well, I do, remember, Sango lives with Kagome and I know where Sango lives."
"Well, it's too late now; otherwise, you could have told me that." Inuyasha slumped on his couch. Miroku sat down in the arm chair.
"Well, we better start making a menu and let Kagome revise it tomorrow."
Kagome and Sango had changed into their pajamas and wet into the living room. Kagome was sitting at the computer looking at flowers. "Hey Sango, how about these flowers for the centerpieces of each table?"
Sango got up from the couch and went over to the computer. "White tulips?"
"Yeah, they're my favorite."
"Sure, they're pretty, if your boyfriend likes it."
"Yeah, I like i-wait a minute! What makes him my boyfriend?!"
"Well he might as well be, you're a couple now remember?" Sango said picking up the handheld phone and dialing a number.
"Who are you calling?"
"Miroku" Sango replied, "Hey, Miroku? Let me ask you something: Are Inuyasha and Kagome now a couple?"
Kagome said harshly and quietly, "SANGO!"
"Shh!" was all she could say while listening closely.
Miroku held the phone in the receiver and asked Inuyasha, "Dude, are you and Kagome an item?"
"Uhh...umm...What does she think?" He said while realizing that he was on the phone.
"He says, 'What does she think.' "Miroku said to Sango.
"Well Kagome? Inuyasha says what do you think." Sango said to Kagome.
"Uhh... umm...." that was all she could say.
"Same reply as Inuyasha's" Sango said to Miroku.
"Well let's decide for them." Miroku said to Sango.
"Ok, they're a couple." They both said over the line.
"WHAT?! Fine... be evil..." Inuyasha and Kagome said at the same time without knowing it.
"Is that all?" Miroku asked Sango.
"Yeah, oh wait, how does Inuyasha feel about white tulips?" Sango asked.
"Inuyasha, how do you like white tulips?" Miroku asked.
"They're ok I guess. Why?" Inuyasha said.
"Yeah, why?" Miroku said.
"They're going to be the center piece for the tables and they're Kagome's favorite." Sango said.
"Inuyasha muttered something about 'no way' so we'll see tomorrow when you come over again at noon right?"
"Yeah, see ya tomorrow."
"Bye." Then they hung up.
"Well, he said 'we'll see' so we'll just have to wait for tomorrow." Sango said to Kagome and went to her bedroom, "Get some sleep Kagome. This job of yours is becoming more fun by the minute. Never thought your assignment could end up so much fun, huh?"
"Sure..." Kagome said and followed Sango down the hall and went to her room.
