Chapter Two - The Arcade -
At nine o'clock, Inuyasha was laden down with bags walking out the door of the mall. Kagome had forced him to carry the bags by threatening to sit him and when he looked at the hard tile floor, he cursed a bit, but took the bags nonetheless. Kagome's cell phone started to ring, causing Inuyasha to drop all the bags and look around frantically for demons. Kagome rolled her eyes and pulled out her cell, shoving it under his nose so he could see it before she answered it.
Inuyasha picked the bags back up and watched her while she talked into the weird box thing. "Moshi-moshi! Oh, hi Eri, what's going on? Yeah, sure, I would love to, but my friend is with me…okay, hold on, let me ask him." Kagome put her hand over the mouth-piece and looked over at Inuyasha, nearly falling over in surprise. "Inuyasha, it's the new moon! Why didn't you tell me?"
Inuyasha looked confused. "I figured you already knew that. And since when has it been my job to tell you everything that is going on all the time!" Kagome slapped over hand over his mouth before his tirade got too out of hand.
"Sure, Eri, we would love to come out with you guys. I'll meet you at the arcade in an hour, okay? Great, bye!" Kagome put her phone away and turned to the now human Inuyasha. "Well, I guess it's a good thing that your ears are gone tonight, cause I just agreed to go to the arcade with a couple of my friends, and you are coming with me."
"What!! I don't want to go anywhere in this fucking city! And what the hell is an arcade?!?!" Inuyasha growled.
"You don't have a choice, because I am not leaving you in the house alone and an arcade is a place where you go to play video games." Kagome started walking off down the street towards home.
"Um, Kagome…what exactly is a video game?" Kagome just shook her head and kept walking.
An hour later, Kagome's mom dropped Inuyasha and Kagome off in front of the arcade, which according to Inuyasha looked like a "fucked up demon". He was wearing some of the clothes Kagome had picked out for him and anyone could tell he was in a bad mood. He had complained about wearing shoes for twenty minutes straight.
Kagome spotted Eri and her other friends standing in front of the arcade with a couple of guys. She waved and saw Eri's eyes go wide when she saw Inuyasha. Kagome lead Inuyasha over to the group and introduced him to everyone. Once the introductions were made, the group made their way into the arcade.
"Kagome, Gods, you're boyfriend is gorgeous! Where did you find him?" Eri whispered, pulling her away from Inuyasha. He stopped to wait for her, but kept walking when she waved him on.
"Um…well…he's not really my boyfriends. We're more of just friends. He's here from out of town to go to my brother's birthday party."
"Oh please, I saw the way he looks at you, He totally likes you!" Kagome just rolled her eyes and returned to Inuyasha's side, trying to pacify him about the bright neon lights and loud noises.
The boys lead the way to a machine that was blaring music and shouting insults at two boys who were pressing directional buttons on the floor in time with arrows scrolling across the screen. The group had found Dance Dance Revolution. "Well," Eri said," we can leave the guys here. They will be stuck to this machine all night." Eri rolled her eyes at the boys who were already putting credits into the machine. "Come on, let's go find some other games."
"No, Eri, I think I will stick around here and wait for a turn. I used to play this game all the time. It'd be fun to have another go at it." Eri nodded and walked away with the other girls
After a short wait, Kagome stepped up onto the machine with a guy twice her height. She nodded a hello and stepped on the machine to select her difficulty and her song, which she quickly conferred with the guy to pick. The arrows started coming and Kagome easily "danced" in time to them. She was having a great time. The song quickly ended and the guy selected a harder one, Kagome nodding her consent. The arrows came faster and more frequent, but Kagome easily kept up again. On the third song, Kagome upped her difficulty to 'heavy' and chose the last song. She was dripping in sweat when the song finally ended, but she was glad she was able to pull a final grade of 'B' from all three songs. She stepped off the machine and leaned over with her hands on her knees to rest and breathe.
"Kagome, what the hell was that? It looked strange...but fun." Inuyasha questioned.
"Oh, that was a video game called DDR. It's really popular, and I used to play it all the time before I started going to the Feudal Era… I still play it every so often." Kagome panted.
"Can I play?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome hesitated to reply. 'Hmm,' she thought, 'I can let him play and make a total fool of himself, risking him getting angry and trying to beat the machine, or I could tell him no and deal with his whining…' Kagome made her decision. "Sure, Inuyasha, go ahead. You saw me do it, so you know how it is done. Just step on the corresponding button when the arrow reaches the top of the screen." Kagome hid a smile as she put another credit on the machine for him.
A little while later, Kagome was still laughing as her and Inuyasha waited for Kagome's mom to pick them up. The image of Inuyasha looking like an idiot on the DDR machine kept her doubled over in laughter for well over half and hour. Inuyasha on the other hand, just growled and ignored the girl beside him.
"Oh, Inuyasha, there's my mom. Come on, let's go." Kagem walked towards the car that just pulled into the parking lot. Inuyasha just grumbled and followed her.
That night, Kagome changed into her night clothes and climbed into her bed, looking out her window to see Inuyasha outside, looking up at the tree outside her window. She got out of her bed and opened the window. "Inuyasha, why don't you come sleep inside? You can't climb the tree tonight and you know it. Come inside." Inuyasha reluctantly turned from the tree and walked into the house.
Kagome was already in her bed trying to sleep when she heard Inuyasha come in and shut the door. She hadn't expected him to sleep in her room, but when she thought about it, there was no other place for him to sleep. 'Oh well, it's not like he doesn't sleep in my rooms or near me when I am in his time. I guess this isn't much different.' Kagome opened one eye and watched Inuyasha settle himself in a sitting position against the wall facing her bed. Smiling, she shut her eyes and drifted off into sleep.
Author's Note - Thanks for all the reviews you guys. I know I got some things wrong, like the cat, but I didn't have the heart to go back and change that particular part...it was too amusing in my opinion. LoL. So anyways, yes, Inuyasha does DDR...I had to do it. DDR is by far my favorite game in the entire universe and the idea popped into my head and I couldn't resist. Kagome kicks DDR butt!!!! If any of you don't know what DDR is, its that weird game in the arcades that people dances around like idiots on...really, go to almost any arcade, you can't miss it. Oh, and for you guys that aren't familiar with the term (I got one reviewer who didn't know), fluff is a term used to describe those cute little romance scenes...not really needed but they are cute and fluffy...hence the name. Yeah, there will be some of that in the coming chapters.
