Chapter Seventeen
"Wow, that movie as really good." Sango said.
"Yeah, you wanna go home now?" Kagome asked.
"What? You want to go home already?" Inuyasha asked, stopping on the sidewalk and calling for a taxi.
"What, you mean the night's not over yet?" Sango stepped into the taxi.
Miroku followed, "Nope." Kagome and Inuyasha got in. Inuyasha whispered to the driver where they wanted to go. The driver nodded and started to drive.
"Where are we going?" Kagome asked.
"It's going to take a while to get there, you'll see." Inuyasha said calmly and smiled at her.
'Why is he smiling? Why is he acting so kind and almost caring?' Kagome thought. A little while later… the bumpiness of the car finally drove the girls to sleep. Unknowingly, they both leaned on their dates. The car stopped at a harbor. When it stopped the girls began to stir. "Where are we?"
"Look for yourself." Inuyasha got out of the car and held out a hand to help Kagome out. She took his hand and looked out into the night. She gasped.
"Oh my gosh, it's beautiful." Sango gasped. It was a restaurant boat. They stepped on the boat and went into the main dining room. (A/n, you know one of those boats where there's a big room in the middle of the boat with ac and lights, not the ones on the deck.) The room was filled with people and chandeliers, the room wasn't low, and it was quite high actually, enough for large chandeliers to hang. They all sat next to tall windows, since they were seated like that there were only 2 seats to a table. Inuyasha and Kagome sat at one table and Miroku and Sango sat at another. Inuyasha and Miroku were sitting back to back.
"Uh, Kagome…" Inuyasha said looking down at the menu in front of him.
Kagome, also, had her menu us and answered, "Yeah…"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm, I don't know." Kagome put down her menu, Inuyasha did, too.
"May I suggest the fish?" A voice from a table in front of them said (behind them, w/e it depends how you look at it.) Suddenly that table, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango screamed. Everyone onboard turned their heads towards the noise.
"What are you doing here?!" Kagome screamed in a whisper after the excitement. It was their parents.
"Well, this nice young gentleman that your dads met in the bathroom suggested this place go to out, so we did." Kagome's mom said. Suddenly, the guy that Inuyasha and Miroku met at the mall from the bathroom appeared with their order of drinks. Kagome's mom pointed to the guy, "That's him."
The guy had a frantic look.
"Dude, do you just go around in bathrooms and tell us about this place?" Miroku asked. "You know that's sick."
The guy ran back into the kitchen. Then he ran back out, leaving the drink their parents ordered and ran back in.
"That guy is really strange." Sango said.
"Yeah, he is." Miroku said.
"Hey, what did you mean by that? You mean he told you about this place?"
"Uh…"
"You freak, you got a date idea from some waiter in a bathroom." Sango laughed.
"Well, moms, dads, can we have some privacy here? We're kind of on a date." Inuyasha said, of course he whispered the last part.
"I thought you all were going to the dance." Sango's mom said.
"The dance was over 2 hours ago." Miroku said.
"Oh, well, we'll leave, come on; I think there's this one large table on the other side of the room." Miroku's dad said as they walked off into the distance of the other room.
"So, what do you want to eat?" Inuyasha asked Kagome with hopeful eyes that would creep anyone out.
"Ok, I would like to talk." Kagome put down her menu.
"About what?"
"Why are you acting so nice? It's really scary."
"Well, I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I'll return to who I was before."
"I never said I didn't like it, but why the sudden change? You've had mood changes earlier, but not this long." Inuyasha sat there for a moment. (Ok, I know that in all my fanfics, Inuyasha is always OOC, but still, I don't care.) "Hello, Inuyasha, are you there?" Kagome waved a hand in front of his face.
"Oh, yeah, sorry, I was just thinking of what you were saying and I've been thinking about that myself. I don't know why though."
"You know what your dad told me when I asked him?"
"What? I didn't even bother to ask my dad. You know that our parents are crazy and nuts." Inuyasha said and called up a waiter and the thought, 'Even if they are crazy, they think things through. I mean, Kagome and I haven't fought with each other in months. Are we still a couple? Were we even a couple? Why do I always ask myself rhetorical questions?'
"Well, he told me that you just have mixed feelings about something and once you sort them out, you'll get back to your normal self, whatever personality that is." Kagome said. The food came and they started to eat.
"So, what do you think my true personality is?" Inuyasha wiped his mouth.
Kagome looked out the window and at the full moon, Inuyasha looked too. Kagome stared at him looking at the moon. "I think that you're a kind, smart, caring person. You may act rude sometimes, but you either mean well, or you just, use it to cover up what you really want to mean."…'you're also a loveable person.' Kagome thought.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome in a very sincere, "You really mean that?"
Kagome smiled, "Of course I do. It's true, you're a great person."
"I know this never came up much, but I just want to get things clear."
"Yeah?"
"Are we a couple?"
This stuck Kagome hard in the face, "Uh, what do you think? Do you take this as a date?"
"I don't know, to both questions."
"Well, I know it's defiantly for Miroku and Sango. But, it's up to you."
Inuyasha let out a little laugh, "Up to me? Are you kidding? I thought it was always the girl's word that counts. It would be so much easier of you would just tell me. I mean, I'm a guy, you have to spell things out for us."
Miroku, who listen to the whole thing, chimed in, "Ok, here's what's going on. He's taking you out on a date."
Sango also took this chance to interrupt in their love life, "And As far as the school knows, you're STILL a couple. It's that simple people."
"What is up with people and eavesdropping?" Kagome threw her arms in the air.
"It was your mother's idea to do it!" Kagome's dad jumped up out of the nearest table. The other parents pulled him down and all got up together.
"Uh, we were just looking for, uh, my contact, yeah, I dropped it here." Inuyasha's mom said.
The teenagers all that the bored and 'God…' look on their faces, "So, you ALL went over here to look for it? Anyway, that was the biggest lie EVER, you don't wear contacts you don't even wear glasses!" Inuyasha said.
"Uh…" Then they all ran to the other side of the room. Sango and Miroku instantly turned around and started to eat the rest of their meal.
"So, do we agree of what our snooping-so-called-best-friends say?" Kagome emphasized on the long name.
"Sure. If that's what you want."
"Come on, we're not going back to that again. You took me out on a date, so we're dating. The school thinks we're a couple, so we might as well be an item. Dmn you're simple minded." Kagome leaned back a bit in her chair. "You're starting to act like Hojo."
That did it. That name snapped him like a twig , "Don't you dare compare me to that bstard!" Inuyasha stood up
Kagome smiled, "I think you're back to your 'old' self again."
Inuyasha calmed and sat down, "Well, you were acting like me."
"Like how?"
"Like..hmm…" Inuyasha pondered a bit 'how do I act?' "Well, you act like you were self centered and always state the obvious."
Kagome had to laugh and smile, "Well there you go. Now you know what you were. You just have to pick which personality you want and stop getting me confused!"
…under a nearby table…
"I told you they would make a cute couple!" Inuyasha's mom whispered.
"I know! And Inuyasha's even jealous of this Hojo kid!" Kagome's dad said.
"I think something happened at the social that they're not telling us." Miroku's dad said.
"You don't think…" Sango's dad said.
"Shut up! Our kids would never do something like that!" Sango's mom said.
"Eh, my son probably would." Miroku's mom sighed.
"Shh! They might hear you." Kagome's mom said.
"Yeah, but how can they hear us, where whispering." Inuyasha's dad said.
…
"I think that the parents are under that talking table." Sango whispered to Miroku.
"Yeah, me too, you think we should tell Inuyasha and Kagome?"
"I actually think we should join them. I can't hear a word they're saying! They obviously can." Sango said. They sneaked over to the table and lifted it up…it was obviously the wrong table because there was a couple in a make out session…"Will you two get a room?"
They went to the next table and found their parents, "Can you guys hear anything they're saying?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah, you wanna join us?" Miroku's dad asked.
"Yeah. But can you recap us?" Sango asked, "Because we couldn't hear them."
"Yeah, hurry; get in here before they see you." Sango's dad said. (A/n, obviously it was a large table.)
"You know that [i]they're[/i] listening right?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.
"Yeah, so let's give them something to listen about!" Inuyasha whispered back.
