Winning Her Heart–By SSCereriEnjeru

Chapter four:

Advice

"So, how did your day go? Did you talk to Kagome?" Mrs. Higorashi asked. As she promised, she was taking Inuyasha out to get clothes.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said, sighing. 'And a whole lot of good it did me...'

"That bad, huh? What went wrong?" Kagome's mom was behind Inuyasha 100%. Since her daughter spent most of her time in the dangerous feudal era, there would have to be someone there that Mrs. Higorashi could trust to protect her daughter. She was glad that the person looking after her little girl was Inuyasha. 'Sure, he can come off a bit harsh,' she thought, 'but I know that he cares about her. I just hope that Kagome figures out her feelings before Inuyasha gets too discouraged.'

"Well..." and Inuyasha told her what had gone on during school.

"I see...Well, I think that we're going to have to work on your social skills..."

After the outing, not only did he return to the Higorashi guest room with clothes, he also returned with tips from Kagome's mom about how to have a rage-free conversation, dating, and chivalry. 'Chivalry? Feh...If I were a full blooded youkai, I wouldn't have to worry about chivalry, or this stupid situation...But then again, If I were a youkai, I wouldn't have Kagome. I guess she's worth it...no, I know she's worth it...I just have to find ways to convince her...I must convince her...and win her heart...'

:::FLASHBACK:::

"One thing you definitely have to remember, Inuyasha," Mrs. Higorashi said, handing him a pair of trendy jeans, "is chivalry."

"Chivalry?" Inuyasha asked, unfamiliar with the word.

"Yea, it means to be courteous, to woo her, bring her flowers, and other small trinkets, and most importantly, show her respect. By being her protector in the feudal era, you already have some of the chivalry down, but you have to work harder at it. And that temper...I know that you're a hanyou, but even demons have soft sides."

"Not Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha argued.

"If he didn't, your brother would have killed you a long time ago."

"I guess you have a point, but what you're saying is that in order for Kagome to like me, I have to practically be her slave?"

Mrs. Higorashi laughed, "No! When two people care about each other, they do little things to show that they appreciate the other person. It can be as big as a gift, or as small as a kind word...That's the way that love works."

:::END FLASHBACK:::

Inuyasha still didn't like that idea of being someone's slave, but looking back over what Kagome's mom had said, he decided that maybe it really wasn't like that...if it won him Kagome, it was worth a chance...

A/N: I almost forgot to write an author's note!!! Oh, well...at least I remembered...(does anyone read these things anyway?) Um...pleeze review...
