Dedication: To all you reviewers that waited patiently and didn't forget this fic.

Chapter 18: A turn for the worse

Kagome didn't know what was coming over Inuyasha, but she didn't mind it. Just when she had believed this night was going to be terrible and she was going to end up in tears somehow, he'd proved her wrong. "Inuyasha, thank you so much."

He looked a little taken back, but finally the words came out, "You're welcome…?"

"Hi! I'm back with your order," Ms. Ishida said placing down that lover's spree thing.

Kagome looked in awe, it was probably expensive, but it sure was beautiful. It looked very similar to a sundae with rainbow covered sauce but it was surrounded by a chocolate frosted cake with yellow cake inside.

As for Inuyasha, it didn't look so glamorous. But when you were hungry, it didn't really matter.

"So dig in." The waitress handed them one spoon and fork before walking off. Kagome was still in awe that she didn't notice they'd have to share utensils.

"Hey, Kagome, which one you gonna eat?"

That snapped her out of it. "Actually, I wanted to try both. Why?"

He pulled up the 2 utensils. "You said you eat with these things right?"

She nodded. "I get you. It's no problem." Kagome rose from her seat. "Excuse me, Ms. Ishida!" But she just continued along as if she didn't hear her, so Kagome decided to ask another server to get her.

"Hey, Yoko, that girl at that table wants you."

"I know," she said as she picked up another couple's dirty plates. "But you see that cutie across the room there?" She pointed to a boy with a short ponytail in back of his head. Yoko explained that he gave her $10 not to.

"Well if you won't I will," the other lady said triumphantly heading towards Kagome's table.

Yoko cried out 'Nooo' before jumping on the woman and pretty soon a fight had begun.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha in shock. "Are you seeing this?"

"Yep. But let's get back to this crazy food…"

So the rest of the night was well-spent. Kagome taught Inuyasha how to use those utensils and they even fed each other (How romantico) Kagome didn't think the night could get any better; even Inuyasha was having a good time. Little did they know that would be the end of their fun for tonight…

Houjo waited impatiently, yet eagerly for the "happy" couple to arrive… It was no fair he had to wait there taking up all those ticket stubs for, like, hours now and they still hadn't showed up. Perhaps they weren't coming to the movies after all. Great, then I'll have done all this work for nothing, he thought angrily to himself. But all that was forgotten when he saw them scanning the titles to find some movie. Sorry, but you'll only be watching one movie… Houjo cackled evilly.

"Hey, punk! What the hell's wrong with you? Gimme my damn ticket. Movie starts in a few," a chubby girl with a bandanna wrapped around her head said, her hand balled into a fist.

Kagome looked at the titles. "I guess we could watch 'The Ringu' I hear it's really scary."

"I bet it is," Inuyasha said unenthusiastically.

"C'mon, let's get in line."

Houjo rubbed his hand together. Finally they were here. He quickly served everyone and threw on this fake moustache and goatee. "Yes?"

"Could we get two tickets to 'The Ringu'?" Kagome asked.

A false sympathetic look washed over Houjo's face. "I'm sorry, but it's all sold out. In fact, just about all our movies are sold out. But I do happen to have… Well, he's your date correct?" He pointed towards Inuyasha.

"Yea. But what does that—"

"I'd like a word with him." He motioned for him to come closer and Kagome to back away. "You see, I just happen to have two tickets for 'Young and Eager' and that's all. You interested?"

His question was ignored. "You're Houjo." Inuyasha said it more as a statement than a question.

How does he know? Houjo wondered. That's all right; I'll just play it off. He'll never know.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about."

That wasn't going to stop Inuyasha. "I know you're him because I can smell you and you have his scent."

Think fast, think fast. What was this guy—a bloodhound? "That's because he works here."

"I thought he was a pizza boy."

"He's working two jobs."

Inuyasha still didn't look convinced but took the tickets from him anyway. "C'mon, Kagome! Let's go!"

"Coming!"

Houjo watched as she trotted towards him, the plan was in progress. Now he had to get inside and stir up more trouble. There was no one else in line, but just as he prepared to leave out, a boy and girl came rushing over.

"Hey," the boy said breathlessly. "Give us the tickets to what the boy with silver hair got."

"Young and Eager?" Houjo asked. He didn't know why anyone would want to see a hentai. "Sure, but it's rated, children that young can't watch it." Hold on, he didn't work here. Why did he care? Probably because he wasn't all evil.

The girl with dark hair fastened in a ponytail pointed to the little person with a bushy tail on her shoulder. "He's a cling on."

"Whatever. On the house!" Houjo quickly gave them the tickets and rushed inside. He had intentions of being Kagome's savior when his plan went through like it was supposed to:

"Oh, Houjo-honey, thanks for rescuing me from Inuyasha." Kagome gave him a big kiss and they departed. Inuyasha later moved back to whatever third-world country he had came from.

Yea right. But he could dream could couldn't he? And boy was he just in time, Inuyasha and Kagome were moving from the popcorn line on toward the movies.

"I still don't believe the guy at the front desk was Houjo," Kagome was saying.

"I swear he was. The guy reeked of Houjo."

"Sure… And even if it was, then oh well. He's gone from us now." She decided to change the subject. "You haven't told me what movie we're going to see."

"Some crap." Inuyasha glanced at the ticket. "Young and Eager."

Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and her usually small eyes got wide. "Inuyasha, that's a hentai. Didn't you see the advertisement outside?"

"No. Well now what do you want us to do?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know. Home?"

Inuyasha sighed. "I guess, but it's a shame this night was wasted."

"It wasn't wasted; I had a great time tonight. Really," she said sincerely leaning over and giving Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek. "Now if you'll excuse me."

"Wait! Where're you going?"

"To the bathroom. Be right back."

"Don't take long!!"

She smiled. "I won't."

It was just at that moment that  Houjo strolled out of the bathroom. "Hello, Inuyasha," he greeted.

"I knew I smelled something putrid."

"Huh?" His expression was puzzled then he decided to ignore it. "Are you and Kagome having a good time?"

He smirked. "Yea."

"And about earlier today at school. I apologize; the better man got the date with her."

"I know."

It took a lot for Houjo not to say something mean. "So no hard feelings?" He held out his hand for Inuyasha to shake, but he just waved it off. "Yea whatever."

"So where is Kagome?"

"In the bathroom. Why?"

"Just asking. I'm glad you two are having such a great time together. I understand Kagome's pretending not to date me since you obviously seem to like her."

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked confused. So was it true? All the things he had heard…

"Kagome, now you're going out with the new guy? I thought you and Houjo were an item."

He had heard her friends talking that time in the classroom, but back then he didn't know any better… So it wasn't really those 'tests' that she was going home to… it was Houjo? Yeah, it all made sense. The last piece of the puzzle was coming. That had to be it because he hadn't seen those 'tests' yet. But Inuyasha wasn't sure of what to do… Perhaps he'd just question her when she came out. Although he kinda figured it futile, she'd probably just lie. She'd been lying the whole night, trying hard not to hurt the dog demon's feelings. And just when he was starting to like her. Well, the little wench was gonna get what was coming to her…

Kagome gave one last look in the mirror and fixed her lip gloss. She was ready. Somehow she was anxious to get back out there and continue their date. But when Kagome saw the angry expression on his face, she wished she'd stayed…

"C'mon, Miroku, I don't they're in here," Sango said trying hard to pull him out of his chair.

"Ssh! I'm watching the movie."

"I wanna blank your blank."

"Oh blank!!!"

"What kind of blanking movie is this?" Sango asked annoyed. If people in the future went to the movies to see crap like this, she was glad she was born in the past. "C'mon."

"Wait, wait! Just a few more minutes," Miroku begged, his eyes glued on the screen.

"This isn't appropriate for Shippo, and not exactly something a girl wants to see." To this statement, he just covered their eyes.

"MIROKU!!!!"

And then someone tapped Sango's shoulder.

The usher, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask your party to leave."

"Thank you!" With that she dragged the pleading Miroku out into the lobby.
