Chapter 14

A Need For Sight

+++++Author's Note+++++

Hi there its been a week or more I think but here's the next chapter. I got a review from one of my readers that asked me how old was Kagome? It got me thinking-that's a good question, how old is she? Heheh well, I didn't look at that point very often, so I went back into the story and read to see any clues as to how old she is, and my answer is now found. Kagome was 19 at the beginning of the fic and is now 20. For Inuyasha, someone could tell me, how old he should be--because I'm lost on him. Okay onto the story, it should be ending soon.

"How about we do something today?" Such a sweet suggestion, but I shouldn't have agreed. That was what got me here in the first place.

I was standing beside a muttering Kagome in what, she calls, a mall. We have been shopping for clothes since 2 hours ago, and yet still to buy something. I was close to blowing my top off-those workers here kept bugging me. Saying things such as: 'May I help you?' 'Are you looking for something?' 'This matches you well, do you want to try it?'

"Inuyasha, I think I like this one." Kagome finally spoke to me, since we came here. I sighed as I shrugged alright and she went to pay for it.

"Sir, may I help you?" That was it! I turned to the person growling at a low rumble.

"Leave me the HELL alone." The lady gasped and scurried away while I was still fuming but my lips turned upwards into a smirk. This was fun.

"Inuyasha, I think we should go-I think they got security coming." Kagome grabbed my hand and pulled me hurriedly out the door. She then took us to a nearby cafe and we sat down ordering some food and began talking.

"So, what is it that you bought?" I started after sipping from my cold drink.

"A dress, I'll wear it on our next date, or somewhere else-whichever comes first." I nodded thoughtfully at her answer then silence ensued us both.

"Can you see yet?" She asked, whispering a bit.

"Iie, it's still-still blurry." I am lying, I know it. But it's somewhat the truth. It's been almost two weeks, and no signs of that troublesome Hojo coming around, and I've been healing quite nicely with Kagome by me.

"It's almost 2 weeks." She responded and then reached for my face with her hands.

"But, when you do see again-I'll be the first thing you see, ne?" She whispered and then lightly kissed my cheeks and released her hold and sat down.

It hurt to lie to her, but- it's almost completely healed and I want to do something for her, before telling her I can see again. My eyes could see almost near perfection but it was a bit blurry at the edges of figures, but now every color regestured in my eyes. About 2 or 3 more days, I'll see just as regular people do.

"You're kind of quiet, is something wrong?"

"How old are you?" I asked suddenly, wanting to know- and couldn't believe I could forget.

"I'm 20 but you shouldn't ask a girl her age."

"Why?"

"Because-just because it's rude."

"Oh, so when are you getting back on your job, from your short vacation?"

"In about 5 more days. I'm so glad they allow me a 3 week vacation-I needed it." She sighed as she finished. I was out of things to talk about now, so we ate in silence. Then we drove home in silence.

It was surprising that night, very eventful. Souta had annouced he invited his, girlfriend, to eat dinner with the family tonight. And all of the sudden, the gang from the fuedal era comes over time to us, to say they want to stay for dinner tonight too. It turned out to be a big family dinner as to say. So I was stuck with helping Kagome, Kaede, Kagome's mother, and Sango cook. While Miroku had the job of watching over Masaya, Souta-and girlfriend, Shippo-and Yuki.

"Inuyasha, can you please handle stirring this for me?" Sango asked politely and I nodded walking over and placing my hand on the spoon and stirred as she asked.

"I see that you can cook." Kagome's mother giggled and the rest of the ladies joined in.

"Hah, hah. That was funny." I replied sarcastically and Kagome gave me a light hit on the arm.

"You can stop stirring, Sango's back. Come here to help me set up the dishes and bring out to the food to the table." Kagome ordered and I kept silent and went with her to do as she requested.

"You're getting bossed quite a lot there Inuyasha!" Mirokue shouted into the dinning area and I got frustrated with him.

"At least I'm not babysitting a bunch of kids with flying hormones!" Kagome burst into laughter as we both imagined Souta blushing red with his girlfriend and Shippo stuttering for an excuse while Yuki is silently blushing more and more.

"Okay, it's finished." Kaede placed the last portion of the meal on the table and I smiled, it was finally time to eat.

"DINNER IS READY! COME IN!" Sango yelled and the others joined us shortly. It was amusing how the couple would be nice to each other, and how they would act when told of embarrasing moments of their significant other. Kagome and I was set to duty to cleaning up after the eating.
