Chapter Eleven (Day Three)

"Hi Kagome," and there was Hojo, the guy that could never take a hint if it was shoved up his ass.

"Hi Hojo." Kagome sighed.

"Do you want to do something sometime?" he asked while looking down at his shoes.

"Oh Hojo don't you get that-" Kagome started.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU BASTARD?!" Inuyasha interrupted.

"Inuyasha! Hush!" Kagome whispered to him.

"Is that who Yuka was talking about, Inuyasha?" he pointed at Inuyasha.

"Depends, what did they say?" he said angrily gritting his teeth.

"Let's just leave" Kagome pulled his arm.

He pulled back. "No, I want to hear what he has to say."

"Umm that you were Kagome's boyfriend." Hojo said nervously in a scared way.

"AND YOU HAD THE NERVE TO ASK HER OUT?!?!" he said loud enough to make everyone in the food court to turn heads. While lifting Hojo up by the collar, inches from the ground.

"Well I thought-"

"Hojo, don't you get it? Ever since I met Inuyasha, I don't haven't had feelings for anyone else. I just pity you. I'm sorry," Kagome said, followed by a sigh. "I've been meaning to tell you that but, I've been to umm...busy"

"I understand, but could you tell your boyfriend to let me down?" He said in a choking voice.

"Inuyasha, please let him down." Kagome said.

Inuyasha, still glaring at Hojo, reluctantly let him down, "grr."

"Well, I'll see ya, "He got a cold stare from Inuyasha," at school that is. Ja ne!"

They were walking back home. Sango and Miroku in the front this time.

"Is it true what you said back there?" Inuyasha asked while looking down to show the emotion in his eyes.

"What part?" she said while they kept on walking.

"When you said that you haven't had feelings for anyone else since you met me." He said looking up at Kagome with a slight blush. They had stopped completely. They were standing in the middle of the park, (a/n It was a short cut to Kagome's house.)in front of the frozen lake.

She looked up at him with starting tears (a/n, ya know, when it's about to fall but still in your eye lid/ eye)"YES!" she hugged him and he hugged back and embraced her.

Well, at least now I know she has feelings for me, but what feelings? Inuyasha thought.:: You are so stupid. But you'll figure it out by yourself.:: Wait but if you are me then shouldn't I know?:: Well, you should but you won't because, it's locked inside you and only I, your conscience, has the key to unlock it. Muhahaha, but I'll unlock it when the time comes.::

They were still embracing each other.

Did I just admit to him that I liked him?:: More or less so yes.::Aww shimatta::

They eventually let go, not knowing what just happened, they continued walking not looking at each other, not getting very far. Right in front of them was a ditch in the ground that looks like when Inuyasha gets a big sit, except it was Miroku. Sango was sitting on a bench right in front of the hole crossing her legs and whistling innocently. Kagome laughed, Sango stood up and they were whispering and giggling while they walked. Inuyasha stood in front of the hole.

"mpmh mum mph muh muh mup muh mu mu?" Miroku said, still being in the hole.

"What?" Inuyasha helping Miroku up.

"I said, is this how you feel when you get sat?"

"Most likely, yeah."

"Well, now I will never make fun of you again when you get sat by Kagome."

Inuyasha laughed at that and they ran to catch up with the girls.

Later that night, everyone was asleep except for Miroku and Inuyasha. Or so they thought.

"Well, I think that's all you need to know about marriages. So are you going to go through with it though?" Miroku asked Inuyasha.

"I don't know yet."

"Well decide soon. I'm going to sleep. Good night."

"Yeah good night, I'm just going to get some water."

"Ok"

He went downstairs and saw a little light. Ignoring the light, he went to the refrigerator. He looked at the microwave clock. "Hmm, only 11:00"

" Only11:00?"

"Who said that?" Inuyasha asked.

"Don't worry, it's only me, I was just reading. "It was Kagome's mom.

"You scared me half to death."

"You fight demons and yet you were scared at a human?"

"Humans can be scary" he said under his breath, thinking about how many times Kagome has sat him.

"Well when are you going to ask her?"

"Ask who what? he said half-confused.

"Ask Kagome to marry you."

He covered her mouth then let it go. "Shh! She might hear you."

"Everyone's asleep"

"And how did you know I was considering asking her?"

"You showed signs that my late husband showed when he was going to ask me. And... I saw your book while you were out."

"YOU WENT THROUGH MY STUFF?!" he said in a whispered voice.

"Well, I was doing everyone's laundry and saw your book in the closet. So if you are going to ask her.. how, when, and where?"

"Well, I haven't even thought about the when and where, but I bought her an engagement ring and I might ask her in the traditional way how you do it here."

" This suggestion is of course if you ask her. Well, you're going to have it at some place memorable. Like the Goshinboku tree or someplace where you shared something special. and you have to do it when or after you do something special."

"Well then I guessed I missed my chance."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, she told me in the park this evening that she had feelings for me. But I was too afraid to. And I had to find out first if she loved me and I still don't know yet."

"Well you can't be afraid of rejection but I don't think that will be a problem."

"Why?"

"Oh, nothing. Never mind I said anything." and then she went off to sleep in her bedroom.

Inuyasha went upstairs and laid in his bed until 12:00 and went to sleep.
