Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or and other of the characters from Inuyasha the anime/manga series. Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha and right now I'm a little upset at her for ending the series... I also do not own any of the songs I use in this fic either
Author's Note: The chappie is up finally...but its my teachers fault...(just a bit of advice...don't take Chemistry, Ap Biology ,Honors Eng 12, and Algebra 2 all in one semester). This chappie doesn't have much fluff in it, but the next will, seeing as this is only chap 7a you will get the fluff in 7b. BTW in the chap when it says that she goes and sits in the bathroom during a scary movie...well I did that probably 3 or 4 years ago (I was watching Final Destination...and it was my mom who came looking for me). And as you can see my life has also slipped into this chapter a bit... Also if you haven't heard, Inuyasha the series has ended in Japan, the final episode being 167, but there have been rumors of a second series of Inuyasha or at least a OVA to tie up the loose ends in the series, I have seen up to 164... so I can't wait to get the last few episodes that I ordered. Well enough of my ranting...so onto the Chappie
Our first date was a Sci-Fi Movie
"Inuyasha," she growled, "I can't study with you staring at me. Go do something with Souta or go watch some TV."
"I wasn't staring at you!" he growled back.
"Well, whatever. I still can't concentrate. If you don't go somewhere, I know a way to make you go that might be a little bit more painful," she said as she turned her head towards him, an evil glint in her eyes.
"Great, now she's gonna make me leave by sitting me till I go through the floor..." he thought as he got up, heading for the door, admitting defeat in the matter.
As he left, she couldn't help but sigh. She really hadn't wanted him to leave, but every time she had tried to do a math problem for Algebra or memorize the element symbols for Chemistry, she would hear him do something and that would break her concentration. At least on studying, she would then concentrate on Inuyasha for a while, till she realized that she had been sitting staring at the same problem for well more than ten minutes.
"I wonder where he went," she thought to herself, but scolded herself moments after the thought had crossed her mind.
"You can't be thinking about Inuyasha right now. Get a grip girl, you have a test tomorrow in Chemistry and you can't even remember what the symbol for Aluminum is!"
After another twenty minutes spent blankly staring at the periodic table, giving up, she stood up and stretched.
"Even with him out of the room, I can't help but think about him. Plus I think I need a break," she said as she exited her room in search of the hanyou that she couldn't seem to get off her mind.
As she descended that stairs, she was met by her mom.
"I'm glad you came down, I was about to go and get you and Inuyasha. Dinner's done and I thought that you might be hungry."
"Hehe, Mom, you know Inuyasha, he's always hungry. I'm surprised he's not already down here waiting for you to finish cooking."
"Kagome. Well that is true. Your father was the same way. I don't know if you remember or not, but he would always come in while I was cooking ,and try to steal things from the pan as I was stirring it," she sighed, her gaze becoming a far off one, one deep in thought.
"Sounds like Inuyasha alright," Kagome interrupted quickly, seeing the sad expression cross her mothers normally cheerful features. She remembered that look from when she was little. Soon after her father had passed away, she had caught her mother many times with that far off look in her eyes, not exactly sad, but for what it seemed in deep thought about a sad subject. Undoubtedly her father.
"Yes, it does. Well if you wouldn't mind going to get him and Souta, I'll set the table," she said heading back the way she had come.
"I hate to see her like that," Kagome thought as she ascended that stairs once again, in search of her brother and Inuyasha.
As she approached the door she could hear the sound of a video game.
"I don't understand it, he doesn't understand a TV, but he understands a PS2?" she thought to herself as she pushed open the door.
"You lost Inu-no-nichan, want to try again?" Souta asked, not noticing that Kagome had come into the room.
Inuyasha on the other hand had noticed her even before she had come in.
"Damn wench, always distracting me. I lost because of her," he thought to himself, even though he had lost about ten times before she had even passed by the door on her way downstairs.
"Dinner's done, if you want to come eat then," but before she could even finish her sentence, Inuyasha had dropped his controller and had proceeded to the doorway where she stood. Picking her up he held her bridal style as he leaped down the stairs toward the waiting food.
"Hay! Kid, if you want some food you better get down here," he yelled back up to Souta.
"So Honey, have you finished studying??" her mother asked, as everyone finished eating, well as Inuyasha finished eating. He had liked the food so much that he had had thirds, as well as the remainder of Kagome's miso soup and omelet.
"Not yet, I just can't concentrate tonight. I'm a little distracted," she said as she cast a sideways glance in the direction of Inuyasha.
Laughing, her mother picked up some of the dinner dishes, signaling for Kagome to gather the rest.
"Well, why don't you and your little distraction go to a movie or something?" she whispered in her ear just as she had turned on the water to rinse the dishes. She had learned of Inuyasha's sensitive hearing and wanted him to think this all Kagome's idea.
"But," she was interrupted as her mother placed a finger over her mouth.
"Just go, it will be good for the both of you," she said, thinking to herself, "I'll have grandchildren in no time flat."
As she and Kagome entered the Family room, she chuckled to herself, thinking of little children with puppy dog ears running around the shrine.
"Inuyasha," she said as he shot her a questioning look, "You wanna go do something? I'm not going to be able to study tonight anyway."
"Keh, fine. I don't have anything else to do here anyway." he said as if annoyed.
"Ok, so it's set. Let me change and we can call to see when the next movie is showing." she said as she turned and walked out of the room, towards her room.
"Humm, what should I wear?" she asked herself, as she began to throw clothes on her bed.
After picking out one, she hung it on her door, and went downstairs. Deciding to change after she called in order to know how long she would have to get ready.
"Inuyasha" she called, not seeing him on the couch with Souta.
"What?" he said as he came from the kitchen, where he had been waiting for her.
"What do you want to see?" she asked him, handing him the paper where all the movie names were listed.
He had never really ever told anyone, but although he had been taught how to read, he had forgotten most of it long ago. He had had no use for things such as reading. Fighting and staying alive were the only skills he had needed in the Sengoku Jedai when he was a boy ,so he had driven everything else he had learned out of his mind.
But not wanting Kagome to know his little secret, he pointed to one he could read, Signs.
"Humm, ok," she said, truly hoping that he would pick something different.
She had always been afraid of scary movies, especially ones with aliens in them. The last time Yuka had dragged her to one, she had sat in the bathroom for more than half the movie, being too afraid to stay in the theater, until Yuka came looking for her to see if she was alright.
"It'll be ok, I'll have Inuyasha there to protect me if I get scared," she thought to herself, a slight blush coming onto her face, as she picked up the phone to dial the theater.
"Hello, and welcome to Edogawa Cinema 13," she heard the operator say on the other end, "What movie please?"
"Signs."
"Thank you. Signs will be showing at twelve, one thirty, three thirty, five, seven thirty, eight..."
Hanging up, she said, "Ok, well we can go at eight. That gives me time to get ready and us time to get there."
Once back in her room, she continued to get ready. Slipping on her favorite pair of jeans and a low cut pink sweater.
Looking in the mirror, she said to herself, "I hope Inuyasha likes it..." but stopped as she realized what she was saying.
"Come on girl, we're not going out. But...I can pretend right? Well if we were ...this could be considered our first date," she said ,as a blush covered her face, as she though of things that happen on dates.
As she had finished saying this, someone knocked on her door.
As he walked in his eyes were automatically drawn to her. Her shirt drew his attention to her chest, the shirt being so low cut he could see the top of the lacy thing that she wore under her shirt. Unable to say anything he just stared for a while, his eyes glued to her chest.
"This is almost as bad as when I saw her naked," he thought to himself.
"Well I guess he likes it," she said getting redder.
"Kagome...what's a date?" Inuyasha asked, able to talk again, apparently having heard her conversation with herself.
"Uhh...well...um well its when two people, a guy and a girl, go somewhere together....uh most of the time they umm... are going out with each other, they are boyfriend and girlfriend," the blush on her face getting deeper in color as she talked.
"You changed your clothes," she said, trying to break the silence.
He had put on a pair of jeans and a white button up shirt. He even had shoes on, as well as the baseball cap that he hated.
Kagome couldn't help but think, "Man...he's hott."
"Oh...yea," he said, unable to say anything else, a slight blush coming across his face as well.
As he turned away from her, he couldn't help but think about all the things that, according to Kagome, boyfriends and girlfriends did on dates.
"W...well are you ready to go?" she said as she looked at the clock, hoping that they wouldn't be late.
