~*~My Heart Is Yours~*~
Chapter 14: Valentine's Day
The rest of winter break flew by and the four friends went back to school.
January ended quickly and Valentine's Day was arriving rapidly.
"Kagome, are you going to the dance on Valentine's Day?" Sango asked hyperactively.
"No," Kagome smiled back.
Her friend gaped, "Wha-why not?!"
Kagome blushed, "Well..Inu Yasha and I are going to have a picnic in the park. So I'm sorry, Sango. I hope you understand."
She looked at her best friend and blinked.
Sango took her friend's hands in her own, "That is so romantic!"
She sighed dreamily and continued, "How I'd love to go on a picnic late in the evening with Miroku and then stare up at the stars while Miroku and I are snuggling up against each other.."
"Hehe," Kagome sweat-dropped.
"Why are her eyes like that?" a voice gulped behind her. Kagome turned around. Miroku was shakily pointing a finger at Sango. Inu Yasha was staring at him with an amused expression.
"Don't tell me she's in her 'hyper-phase' right now," he groaned.
"Looks like she is," Inu Yasha snorted.
Sango snapped out of her daydream, spotted Miroku, and squealed.
"Oh, Miroku!" she cooed. "I have some GREAT ideas for us to do on Valentine's Day! We could go to the park, or the beach, or a restaurant, or-"
She began to drag him away from Kagome and Inu Yasha.
"Please, someone, help.." Miroku whimpered.
*****Valentine's Day*****
"Oh, well," Sango sighed in disappointment as she brushed her long hair. She was wearing white capris and a red tank top. "Going to a dance isn't THAT bad."
"Yeah, it isn't," Kagome agreed. She was dressed in a red summer dress (I know it's not summer, but you know the movies: women wear summer dresses to picnics..well, USUALLY.).
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in," both girls said.
The door creaked open.
"My, do you two look HOT," Miroku remarked with a drool.
PUNCH
"Say that again to Kagome and you're toast!" Inu Yasha growled.
Both girls laughed.
Miroku was wearing a red Hawaiian collar shirt and blue baggy jeans. Inu Yasha was wearing khaki-colored pants and a red short-sleeved collar shirt (Oh, great! I'm running out of styles for the boys! ;_;).
"So..are you ready to go, Sango?" Miroku asked dizzily from the punch.
"Yup!" she piped and leapt at him. They stumbled onto the floor.
"Come on," Kagome walked around the couple with a sweat-drop. "Let's go."
Inu Yasha took her hand, "Right."
*****Sango's and Miroku's POV*****
(A/N: The dance is in the college gym.)
Sango rested her head against Miroku's chest and closed her eyes when a slow dance came on.
'He hasn't groped me yet..' she thought. '..oh, thank the heavens!'
..Meanwhile..
Miroku's hands twitched slightly every so often around Sango's waist, 'Must..not..grope..Sango..'
*****Inu Yasha's and Kagome's POV*****
After picking up the picnic basket in the boys' dorm, Inu Yasha and Kagome walked to the college park. Throughout the whole trip there, Inu Yasha didn't say a word. Kagome watched him curiously.
"Is something the matter?" she asked softly.
"No," he finally spoke.
"I don't believe you."
"Really..I'm just..a bit worried right now.."
"About what?" Kagome asked. The park was coming into view.
He didn't answer.
She sighed in frustration, but stopped nagging him.
*****Sango's and Miroku's POV*****
"Hey, Miroku.." Sango looked up at her boyfriend and smiled.
"What?" he replied rather stiffily.
"I thought you would grope me at least once during this dance and so far you haven't!"
"Ye-yeah.."
Sango giggled and then kissed him. He groaned. At that moment, his arms slipped off her waist and his hands landed..on her butt (shame on you, Miroku -_-).
"HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*SLAP*
*****Inu Yasha's and Kagome's POV*****
'The stars are beautiful,' Kagome thought in awe. 'So is the full moon..'
Inu Yasha glanced at her and thought, 'She looks really happy..'
They continued to eat silently on the grass, beneath a tree, saying nothing to each other while they stared up at the night sky.
*****Sango's and Miroku's POV*****
"We're leaving!" Sango gritted through her clenched teeth, heading back to her dorm. "I can't believe you groped me..and then groped me 8 more times after that!"
"It was an accident," Miroku insisted, following her. "Really!"
*****Inu Yasha's and Kagome's POV*****
Kagome set the picnic blanket inside the basket and then closed the lid.
She sighed and faced her boyfriend, "Want to take a walk?"
Inu Yasha answered, "Sure."
..
The couple stopped in front of a pond and gazed into the calm, glistening water.
Inu Yasha's eyes closed.
'He looks like he's in deep thought,' Kagome peeked at him.
"I love you, Kagome," he said after a moment.
"I love you too, Inu Yasha," she answered with a smile.
"Do you really?" he asked with hesitation in his voice. "Because I really love you and-"
"Yes, I really do love you," Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?"
He opened his eyes again and looked at her.
Kagome caught her breath when his violet eyes met hers.
"Inu Yasha?" she whispered.
He knelt down in front of her and pulled a small velvet box out of one of the pockets on his pants. He opened it up, revealing a diamond ring.
Then, in a soft voice, Inu Yasha asked, "Will you marry me?"
A/N: Maybe I'll leave it here..hahahaha!..No, that would be too cruel..
Kagome's eyes welled up with tears.
Inu Yasha looked at her with worry, "Kagome?"
"Yes," she sniffed, smiling. "I'll marry you."
Inu Yasha smiled back, took the ring from its case, took Kagome's hand and slipped it onto her wedding finger on her left hand.
"Um, Inu Yasha?" she asked as he stood up. "Are we going to get married this year or after we're done with college?"
Inu Yasha thought for a moment and then answered, "I suppose after college is the best choice."
Kagome hugged him, "I don't care..as long as we're getting married and we're together, I'm happy."
Inu Yasha hugged her back, "Same with me."
"Is that why you were worried?" Kagome pulled back a little and looked into his eyes. "Were you scared that I'd say no?"
He nodded.
"Inu Yasha.." she laughed as she shook her head. "You're such a baka."
He grinned, "Yeah..your baka."
They kissed.
A/N: And there's your small surprise..the proposal. ^_^ Hm..let's see: next chapter is about the wedding and then, after that, there's the epilogue, and then there'll probably be a "thank-you" page. What I mean is: I'm putting down a list of names of all the people who reviewed my story (maybe I'll put a little comment beside some names..). I know it's going to take forever, but I couldn't have done it without you all so I'm going to do it.
Remember when I said that there would be a surprise for all you Kikyo haters out there at the end? Well, keep reading and you'll see what the surprise is!
Oh, and also, I'm going to put down the summary for my new story that's going to premiere after "More Than What She Seems" is complete, so look for it in the next chapter, the epilogue, or the "thank-you" chapter.
Please review! ^_^
