Dissy: Don't own jack.
Chapter 10: First date
The next day Kagome woke up to her phone ringing. She picked it up and said. "This better be good!"
"It is!" She heard Sango's energetic voice say.
"Oh, hi Sango." She said sleepily.
"Hi, i've got good news!"
"What is it?" Asked Kagome rubbing her eyes from their need to be shut again.
"Come over!" Yelled Sango.
Kagome stifled a yawn. "Ok, i'll be there in an hour." She said getting out of her bed.
"No, now or i'll come over there!" Replied Sango hastily.
"No there's no need i'll be over there." Said Kagome. She hung up the phone and forced herself to get out of bed as another yawn forced itself to escape her tired body. She got dressed in some jeans and a black tank top as she tried to make her hair copperate with her with not much sucess. She finally gave up and stuck it up in a messy bun. She grabbed her jacket and left a brief note for her mom letting her know where she had gone. She was still limping but her ankle didn't hurt as bad anymore. She walked up to Sango's door and knocked on it.
"Well hello my friend." Said Sango cheerfully opening the door and pushing Kagome into it.
"Umm, hi." Said Kagome in utter confusion as to why her friend was so cheery in the morning. "So what's the good news?" She asked taking a seat on a leather chair in the corner of the living room.
"Well Miroku talked to Inu-Yasha and he likes you!" Squealed Sango.
"And you couldn't tell me this on the phone?" Asked Kagome stating the obvious to her totally clueless friend.
Sango stopped as if she was thinking. "No, because now you can't hang up." She said happily. "So tell me what happened between you two yesterday." Said Sango grinning madly that Kagome had to bite her lip to supress any laughter from escaping her mouth. "Nothing we just watched a movie." She said casually in a not-a-big-deal tone.
"Just a movie?" Asked Sango looking disbelievingly at Kagome.
"Yeah just a movie." Said Kagome shrugging.
"Are you sure?" Asked Sango not believing a word coming out of Kagome's mouth. How could they only have watched a movie when Inu-Yasha had woken up his face revealing more than just watching movie all night.
"I'm sure." Said Kagome she was the least bit interested in the topic of this conversation. Nothing had happened between them and whatever did happen she knew that it was nothing otherwise her stomach would still be doing flip flops.
"Positive?" Said Sango making sure wasn't a bad thing she just wanted to know if something happened to cause Inu-Yasha's sudden change in charecter but she knew she was getting now where with her stubborn friend.
"Positive! Would you lay off!" Yelled Kagome. Sango had hit a nerve this was the last straw why couldn't she just leave it alone. Sango sometimes was just way too persistant with Kagome.
The two boys were listening from Sango's room to Kagome's answer. "Man Sango sure knows how to annoy people." Whispered Inu-Yasha.
"Yeah that's why i love her." Answered Miroku dreamily. Inu-yasha shook his head Miroku was madly in love no doubt about it. He found it disgusting how he constantly drooled over Sango 24/7 and she was completely oblivious to the fact. She knew Miroku liked her but she was indenial with her emotions. That's what Inu-Yasha had thought since day one. "Whatever." He whispered with another light shake of his head to Miroku's stupid dreamy sigh.
"Please tell me! Do you like him?" Asked Sango now more determined than ever to get her true friend's feelings to come out no matter what they were.
"Where is this going?" Asked Kagome. She was easily and slowly getting pushed off the edge. She clenched her fists to stop herself from compltely losing it and blowing up at Sango which she knew she would later regret.
"I was just wondering." Answered Sango realizing the tension between her and Kagome rising. She had never seen Kagome blow up big and she didn't want to especially now with the good news they had just recieved.
Then Inu-Yasha and Miroku walked into the room. Miroku still having his daydreaming look on his face. Both girls looked at each other for answers. "So......Inu-Yasha didn't you have something to ask Kagome?" Asked Miroku realizing the eyes on him breaking him out of his recent state.
"No--ow!" Inu-Yasha started but Miroku had jabbed him in his gut with his elbow. Inu-Yasha gave him a death glare saying you-are-so-dead but remembered the task at hand as Miroku returned his glare but less intimidating than Inu-Yasha's. Inu-Yasha smirked. "Oh....yeah that." He said making it obvious more than one thing was up. "Umm.......well could I talk to you Kagome privatly for a minute." Inu-Yasha said giving Sango and Miroku looks that said get-out.
"Sure, we'll be in the othe room......over there........not listening." Miroku said pushing the struggling Sango into the room him and Inu-Yasha had recently exited from. He knew Sango could easily beat him to a pulp but if his and Inu-Yasha's plan was going to work Sango would not be able to ruin things. He gave the struggling girl one final large push into the room and immeditaly shut the door.
"So what did you want to talk about privatly?" Asked Kagome looking at Inu- Yasha suspiciously aware he could be pulling her leg.
"Well I had a question for you." Said Inu-Yasha. His heart beat quickened and it was beating so loud Inu-Yasha thought Kagome would hear it. Why was he acting so weird, maybe becasue this was a fluke nd nothing more he shrugged it off as he looked the confused girl across from him in the eye.
"And what would that be?" She asked sarcastically. He'd probably ask her something stupid like when the next bitch convention was. She knew his undying hate for her and she knew he'd come back with a witty and rude remark to try to put her down.
"Well.........Iwantedtoknowifyouwanttogoseeamovieandgetsomethingtoeatlaterto nightisthat'sokwithyou." Said Inu-Yasha breathing heavily and blushing slightly. He talked quite fast and he hoped she had understood what he said. He hadn't been this nervous since the first time he asked Kikyo out.
"Are you asking me out on a date Inu-Yasha?" Asked Kagome. She had done it. He hoped she wouldn't mention the whole thing that it was all meant for a date but she did and he felt the slight shade of pink return to his cheeks again. Quick he had to think of something witty before she broke his emotional wall he had worked so hard to keep anyone from finding out his true emotions. "Um.......well......yeah. You could call it that but it's only because I have nothing better to do." He said smirking. Sure it wasn't the best witty remark he had in mind but it was better than nothing.
"Sure. I'd love to go out tonight. What time?" Asked Kagome ingnoring Inu- Yasha's last comment. She knew he was a jerk at times and if she gave him attention everytime he said something rude then it would be letting him win which she would never do.
"I'll pick you up at around 8:00 is that ok or will you still be trying to make yourself pretty even though is won't work." He said grinning at the scowl that had made it's way to her face that had not just a minute ago held so much innocence.
"I don't need to make myself pretty for an ass sorry." Bam! Yeah she came back with a good remark and she knew it becasue the smile on Inu-Yasha's face faded as he tried to think of a better come back. "But 8:00 is great. I gotta go but i'll see you tonight." She said. She walked over to the door to the room Sango and Miroku were in and opened it. Both boy and girl came tumbling out and landed on the floor Miroku catching Sango on his back.
"You guys can stop eavesdropping now." Inu-Yasha said rolling his eyes at the situation that had just happend. They were so nosy especially since Miroku knew what Inu-Yasha was going to say. They might as well have stayed in the room with him and Kagome it was Miroku's suggestion to do it alone and in private.
Miroku got up making Sango fall off of him. He decided to take advantage of the situation. "How do you know we weren't making out?" He said mentally slapping himself in the head. Sango was going to kill him but hey it was a good plan then being caught eavesdropping, but Sango being clueless as Kagome had concluded earlier. "Eww......You know I would never do that with you!" Sango protested. He closed his eyes. She had just ruined his whole plan he'd have to teach her when he was trying to save her butt or not.
"Well sorry to ruin your little makeout session but I gotta go see ya." Said Kagome dodging a playful slap from Sango who had given her a playful glare which she returned. They laughed and she headed out feeling happy and good.
Kagome had a black mini skirt on and a red tank top. She was waiting in her living room for Inu-Yasha. She glanced at the clock that hung above the fireplace it read 7:59. Her doorbell rang making her nearly fly out of her seat. 3 years of that thing and she still wasn't used to it. She walked over to the door fiddling with the lock and opening it to see Inu-Yasha dressed in black slacks and a baby blue muscle shirt. "Ready to go?" He asked casually leaning against the door frame.
"Yeah. just let me get my purse." She said grabbing her purse as they walked out of the house. Kagome was amazed as they made their way down the shrine steps with a black porsche parked at the bottom of them.
Inu-Yasha noticed her gushing over the car. "Compliments of my brother." He said with a smile. Kagome could tell Inu-Yasha didn't like help from his brother but he was trying to impress her so she played along even though she was truly amazed. They got into the car and headed for the movie theatre.
"What movie do you want to see?" Inu-Yasha asked as he looked for a parking space. "Well this is going to sound weird coming from a girl but I really want to go see a horror flick." Said Kagome as Inu-Yasha located a parking space and immediatly took it before a red convertable did. "That's fine with me cuz I really didn't want to go see a chick flick no offense." He said getting out of the car. "None taken." She said following him out.
They walked into the theatre and found good seats in the middle. During the movie Kagome would ocassionally get closer to Inu-Yasha when there were 'scary' parts. The best part so far was when Inu-Yasha jumped out of seat.
"Can you see them Sesshy?" Rin asked jumping up and down anxiously.
"Yes Rin they're in the 10th row Inu-Yasha has his arm around Kagome's shoulder." Answered Sesshomaru still looking at the couple.
"Aww they make such a cute couple! Hey where are they going to dinner tonight?" Asked Rin.
"Umm, I think they're going to Angelo's Spaghetti house." He answered turning back to the screen.
"Oh, that will be so romantic. The stars in the sky, the romantic view, and music. It will be perfect." Rin said going on and on.
"Rin, it's only the first date i'ts not like Inu-Yasha is going to propose." Said Sesshomaru.
"That would be perfect if he did that!" Rin squealed. Someone nearby turned around and shushed her up.
"Sorry." Mumbled Sesshomaru. "Rin you need to control yourself I don't want them to see us." Whispered Sesshomaru sternly.
"Oh, ok." Whispered Rin going back to watching the movie but really she was watching the couple.
"That was a great movie wasn't it Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked with a big smile. She was happy to be at the movies with Inu-Yasha. All he did the whole time was be nice to her.
"Oh yeah. " Inu-Yasha said in a shaky voice. The way his heart was beating made him breathless. When he put his arm around Kagome he felt buterflies emerge and flutter throughout his stomach. He thought he was just hungry and shrugged it off. "So are you ready for dinner? I was thinking of taking you to Angelo's spaghetti house." He said to cover up his shaky voice earlier.
"That sounds great!" She said as they headed for his car. When they arrived they got out and Inu-Yasha got a table for two out on the pateo. It was a beautiful night, tons of stars in the sky. Inu-Yasha and Kagome were enjoying their spaghetti. While Inu-Yasha was taking a sip from his coke he noticed his brother and his girlfriend sitting not to far away. About four tables away actually he groaned. "Don't look now." He mumbled.
"What?" Asled Kagome looking at what had caught Inu-Yasha's attention "Sesshomaru and Rin are here. Probably spying." Said Inu-Yasha behind her. "Just ignore them. Waiter check!" He yelled getting the waiter's attention.
"Inu-Yasha is pulling the 'waiter' on us!" Said Rin disappointed that they were leaving before any action kicked in.
"What?" Asked Sesshomaru finally joining the conversation. He was to busy playing with his cell phone to hear what Rin had said. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "He's getting the check because he saw us. I told you we should have stayed inside by the window." She scolded throwing a straw wrapper at him.
"But you were the one that wanted to hear them." Sesshomaru always found a way to blame things on Rin and she let him that's one thing he loved so much about her. He always won. "Well let's go it's obvious they're uncomfortable." He said getting up. "Yeah." Said Rin joining him.
They got up and started to leave when a waitress walked by with a large order of drinks on her tray. As she passed them Sesshomaru couldn't help it and he put out his foot which she reluctantly tripped over spilling every single drink right on Kagome.
Kagome sat there in pure shock at what had just happened. "Excuse me." She said getting up and running to the bathroom while everyone looked at Inu- Yasha before turning back to there own lives. Inu-Yasha sighed and thought. 'What a stupid waitress. Remember never to come here again.' He rubbed his aching temples as he waited for Kagome to get back from her trip to the bathroom.
When Kagome finally got out of the bathroom she was clean but still sticky and cold. She walked up to the table and sat down as Inu-Yasha's head shot up to meet her eyes.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah just a bit sticky but other than that." She said smiling.
"Good." Said Inu-Yasha as he broke out in a huge fit of giggles. Kagome looked at him. She pitied him how something so embaressing could amuse him, but as she thought about it she realized the situation and couldn't help but begin to laugh also. After their fit of laughs stopped.
"So do you want to go?" Asked Inu-Yasha wiping tears from his eyes as he chuckled which was his finale for his burst out.
"No it's o-" But Kagome was cut off by a plate of spaghetti landing in her lap as Inu-Yasha let out another burst of laughter smack her in the face. She glared at him and got up refusing the watresses attempt to clean her up. "I want to go now!" She told him walking into the doors that led out to the patio and walked out of th restaurant. Inu-Yasha paid before apoligizing to the waitress and following after Kagome.
"You are such a drama queen!" He yelled catching up to her.
"No, i'm not if you haven't noticed i'm covered in soda and spaghetti sauce!" She yelled walking off.
"Get over it! You're worse than Kikyo." He muttered. She shot a glance at him glaring her anger into him like daggers. That had done it she blew up. "You are such an idiot Inu-Yasha don't you ever! And I repeat ever compare me to that bitch ok!" He hadn't expected it and so when it happened he had tried to grab her as people passing by were staring at the two of them as if they were crazy teens in love.
She pulled away from his grasp and yelled. "Don't touch me!" She walked across the street past the car. "Kagome the car's here." Said Inu-Yasha following her in her frantic run. "I'll walk." She said as she reached the sidewalk and began to jog as she shivered slightly in the cold of the night. "You can't walk!" Yelled Inu-Yasha walking after her. She turned around making him stop just before he ran into her. She turned around as her blue eyes met his. "Watch me." She said challenging him. She turned back around as her hair whacked him the face.
He growled and called after her. "Fine!" He walked back to his car. Instead of speeding off like a mad man like he wanted to he got out his cell and immedaitly dialed Miroku's house.
"Hello?" Came the startled voice of Miroku. Knowing him he was probably asleep or with another chick.
"Hey man." Said Inu-Yasha in a mono tone so his voice couldn't tell off his emotions therefore confusing Miroku.
"Hey Inu-Yasha! How was the date? Did you and Kagome have a 'fun' time?" Asked Miroku his perverted mind getting the best of him yet again.
"Get your mind out of the gutter!!!! anyways we bumped into Sesshomaru and Rin and that stupid wench yelled at me and ran off!" Yelled Inu-Yasha smacking his head against his steering wheel causing it to honk the horn. There was silence on the other end of the line as Miroku registered this new news before he spoke again. "What?!? How are you ever going to win this if you keep messing up!" He yelled.
"I don't keep messing up!" Yelled Inu-Yasha. Sure he made her mad and she did the same to him. The feeling was mutual thy hated each other and that was that no doubt about it.
"Ok, then we'll call Sango." Said Miroku. If anything Sango would already know what happened becasue Kagome would have told her so they would get the better side of the story. "Hang on." Said Miroku going to the other line before Inu-Yasha could protest. When he came back there was a ringing tone. "I'm not here." Said Inu-Yasha before Sango picked up.
"Hello?" She said. Miroku's heart began to melt. Man she always did this to him even the sound of her voice sent shivers all over his warm body. "S...Sango?" He asked knowing it was her but he still needed and excuse for studdering so that was it.
"Yeah.......who is this?" She asked. She didn't know who it was. After being friends with Inu-Yasha and Miroku for 4 years she still didn't recognize his voice after calling her so many times to ask her to the dance only to get a dial tone when she hung up. "It's Miroku." He said casually as he heard a sigh knowing it came from Inu-Yasha. He went on. "So have you talked to Kagome?" He asked.
"Yeah, have you talked to Inu-Yasha?" She asked. If he told her he did she would catch on to what he was doing so he lied even though he didn't want to he did. "No, that's why i'm calling you to get the details on the date and how it went." He said in his oh-so-casual voice.
"Well.......they had fun at the movies and then at the restaurant ran into Sesshomaru and Rin which led to drinks and a plate of Spaghetti landing on Kagome's lap. When she went to leave Inu-Yasha called her a drama queen and compared her to Kikyo." Said Sango rather fast as if she had witnessed the whole thing and was merely remembering it.
"Oh really?" Said Miroku in a higher pitch to get Inu-Yasha's attention .On the other line Inu-Yasha sat there covering his mouth with his hand to stop himself from doing anything he'd later on regret.
"Yeah and Kagome was so upset she left him and walked home that arragont jerk letting her do that especially when all she's been is nice." Said Sango sternly. Inu-Yasha let out a silent snort. Like hell Kagome was nice to him. Tonight had been an exception but she ruined it with her attitude at the end he wouldn't forget that.
"Well is that it?" Asked Miroku thinking of what to do about the whole situation. "Yeah I think so." Came Sango's voice as she thought it over. "Yup!"She said loudly into the phone making Inu-Yasha and Miroku pull their phones away from their ears in a flash. "ok well that's it really i'll have a 'talk' with Inu-Yasha." Said Miroku sternly as Sango gave him her aww you're so sweet talk. He sat there listening to every sweet word she said as he drifted off into his dreams that were perverted.
"Well that's all I wanted to say, bye!" She said as she hung up to his murmur of. "sure." She rolled her eyes. Sometimes he could be so stupid.
For a while silence was upon the two boys when Miroku said. "You don't always mess up huh?" He asked slyly waiting for Inu-Yasha's loud protest but it never came. He pouted slightly then heard Inu-Yasha's still mono tone answer. "So what it was one mistake i'll fix it buy apoligizing to her tommorrow." He said and hung up the phone before Miroku could say anything. Mirou stared at the phone as the operater said something into it. He hung up mumbling to himself about "Never making bets again, especially with Inu- Yasha."
[A/N: The chapter was supposed to end here but I thought that that was too cruel and decided to use up my next one which was short.]
Kagome woke up with a throbbing headache. She remembered the night beofre with Inu-Yash. She groaned and forced herself to get up and headed for the bathroom. When she was done she headed downstairs.
"Good morning!" Greeted her mother cheerfully. Her mother was always a morning person. Kagome never knew why but she just was. "Hi mom." She mumbled sitting down at the table. "Are you ok?" Asked Her mother still cheery.
"Yeah i'm just tired, in fact i'll take breakfast to go." Said Kagome grabbing toast as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out. "Ok, have a good day at school." called her mom after her. Kagome waved without looking back and went to go meet up with Sango.
"Hi!" Said Sango. Not another cheery person on Kagome's back today. Wow this must have been a record. "Hi." Mumbled Kagome the same way she did with her mother back at the house.
"You still upset?" Asked Sango seeing the pain flood through Kagome's blue orbs.
"Yeah." Mumbled Kagome looking away as they began to walk. "I'm so.....so.sorry." Said Sango giving her friend the sympathetic look. "It's ok it's just.......he compared me to Kikyo." Said Kagome still in shock from it all.
"I know and I really don't know why he did it but.....oh never mind." She said shrugging off the idea in her head.
"No, what?" Asked Kagome her gaze now filled with interest. Sango looked at her. "Nothing really just forget I opened my mouth." Said Sango her lips were now sealed and nothing would make her say what she wanted to. "No, tell me what you were going to say." Said Kagome. Sango couldn't resist she heaved a sigh and said. "Ok, but you have to promise me you will not get mad." Said Sango looking at Kagome with complete trust.
"Ok, I promise." Said Kagome no sign of lying in her voice or anything. "Promise?" Asked Sango just to make sure that nothing would crack Kagome. "Promise!" Yelled Kagome getting irritated. Sango really needed to work on her people skills.
"Ok, maybe well.......thisisjustaguessandifit'struewhichofcourseitwon'tbebecausehe'snot likethatbutifitisyoudon'tneedtoworry."
"Sango!" Yelled Kagome.
"What? Oh, sorry well anyways maybe he still likes Kikyo." Said Sango cutting to the chase of the start of this conversation.
Kagome looked away as tears threatened to sting her eyes. Why was she acting like this. She didn't like Inu-Yasha so why would she care. Maybe it was the thought of just being led on that hurt more than anything. She wiped her wet cheek and sniffled a little.
"Don't cry!" Said Sango putting a reassuring arm around Kagome's shoulder. "I'm not!" Protested Kagome but even she knew that it was a lie and that she did care if Inu-Yasha liked Kikyo this made her more angry and she decided that the little twerp would pay.
Kagome had managed to avoid Inu-Yasha for the whole day with the help of Sango. She was walking to her locker after the last bell. She looked at her watch before beggining to quicken her pace when she tripped over someone. She cursed as she fell flat on her face. When she picked up her face she felt like it was fate. She came face to face with those violet orbs that she had tried so desperatly to avoid all day. She felt strong arms pick her up and gently place her back steadily on the ground. "Inu-Yasha?" She said a bit dazed but soon even he could tell that her face showed hurt and most of all anger. She pulled away from him. "Get the hell away from me!" She yelled walking out of the school down the steps. She felt the cold trickles of water hit her head as she looked up. It was raining. "Damn!" She cursed and began to quicken her pace to avoid the rain and Inu-Yasha who was going after her. "Kagome, Wait!" He called after her as he tried to catch up.
"Just hear me out!" He called grabbing her arm. "Why should I?" she yelled as he pulled her so that thier faces were barely an inch apart. "Listen to me." He whispered. She could feel his hot breath on hers as she gave up in deafeat. 'stupid Inu-Yasha' She thought glaring at him.

Chapter 10: First date
The next day Kagome woke up to her phone ringing. She picked it up and said. "This better be good!"
"It is!" She heard Sango's energetic voice say.
"Oh, hi Sango." She said sleepily.
"Hi, i've got good news!"
"What is it?" Asked Kagome rubbing her eyes from their need to be shut again.
"Come over!" Yelled Sango.
Kagome stifled a yawn. "Ok, i'll be there in an hour." She said getting out of her bed.
"No, now or i'll come over there!" Replied Sango hastily.
"No there's no need i'll be over there." Said Kagome. She hung up the phone and forced herself to get out of bed as another yawn forced itself to escape her tired body. She got dressed in some jeans and a black tank top as she tried to make her hair copperate with her with not much sucess. She finally gave up and stuck it up in a messy bun. She grabbed her jacket and left a brief note for her mom letting her know where she had gone. She was still limping but her ankle didn't hurt as bad anymore. She walked up to Sango's door and knocked on it.
"Well hello my friend." Said Sango cheerfully opening the door and pushing Kagome into it.
"Umm, hi." Said Kagome in utter confusion as to why her friend was so cheery in the morning. "So what's the good news?" She asked taking a seat on a leather chair in the corner of the living room.
"Well Miroku talked to Inu-Yasha and he likes you!" Squealed Sango.
"And you couldn't tell me this on the phone?" Asked Kagome stating the obvious to her totally clueless friend.
Sango stopped as if she was thinking. "No, because now you can't hang up." She said happily. "So tell me what happened between you two yesterday." Said Sango grinning madly that Kagome had to bite her lip to supress any laughter from escaping her mouth. "Nothing we just watched a movie." She said casually in a not-a-big-deal tone.
"Just a movie?" Asked Sango looking disbelievingly at Kagome.
"Yeah just a movie." Said Kagome shrugging.
"Are you sure?" Asked Sango not believing a word coming out of Kagome's mouth. How could they only have watched a movie when Inu-Yasha had woken up his face revealing more than just watching movie all night.
"I'm sure." Said Kagome she was the least bit interested in the topic of this conversation. Nothing had happened between them and whatever did happen she knew that it was nothing otherwise her stomach would still be doing flip flops.
"Positive?" Said Sango making sure wasn't a bad thing she just wanted to know if something happened to cause Inu-Yasha's sudden change in charecter but she knew she was getting now where with her stubborn friend.
"Positive! Would you lay off!" Yelled Kagome. Sango had hit a nerve this was the last straw why couldn't she just leave it alone. Sango sometimes was just way too persistant with Kagome.
The two boys were listening from Sango's room to Kagome's answer. "Man Sango sure knows how to annoy people." Whispered Inu-Yasha.
"Yeah that's why i love her." Answered Miroku dreamily. Inu-yasha shook his head Miroku was madly in love no doubt about it. He found it disgusting how he constantly drooled over Sango 24/7 and she was completely oblivious to the fact. She knew Miroku liked her but she was indenial with her emotions. That's what Inu-Yasha had thought since day one. "Whatever." He whispered with another light shake of his head to Miroku's stupid dreamy sigh.
"Please tell me! Do you like him?" Asked Sango now more determined than ever to get her true friend's feelings to come out no matter what they were.
"Where is this going?" Asked Kagome. She was easily and slowly getting pushed off the edge. She clenched her fists to stop herself from compltely losing it and blowing up at Sango which she knew she would later regret.
"I was just wondering." Answered Sango realizing the tension between her and Kagome rising. She had never seen Kagome blow up big and she didn't want to especially now with the good news they had just recieved.
Then Inu-Yasha and Miroku walked into the room. Miroku still having his daydreaming look on his face. Both girls looked at each other for answers. "So......Inu-Yasha didn't you have something to ask Kagome?" Asked Miroku realizing the eyes on him breaking him out of his recent state.
"No--ow!" Inu-Yasha started but Miroku had jabbed him in his gut with his elbow. Inu-Yasha gave him a death glare saying you-are-so-dead but remembered the task at hand as Miroku returned his glare but less intimidating than Inu-Yasha's. Inu-Yasha smirked. "Oh....yeah that." He said making it obvious more than one thing was up. "Umm.......well could I talk to you Kagome privatly for a minute." Inu-Yasha said giving Sango and Miroku looks that said get-out.
"Sure, we'll be in the othe room......over there........not listening." Miroku said pushing the struggling Sango into the room him and Inu-Yasha had recently exited from. He knew Sango could easily beat him to a pulp but if his and Inu-Yasha's plan was going to work Sango would not be able to ruin things. He gave the struggling girl one final large push into the room and immeditaly shut the door.
"So what did you want to talk about privatly?" Asked Kagome looking at Inu- Yasha suspiciously aware he could be pulling her leg.
"Well I had a question for you." Said Inu-Yasha. His heart beat quickened and it was beating so loud Inu-Yasha thought Kagome would hear it. Why was he acting so weird, maybe becasue this was a fluke nd nothing more he shrugged it off as he looked the confused girl across from him in the eye.
"And what would that be?" She asked sarcastically. He'd probably ask her something stupid like when the next bitch convention was. She knew his undying hate for her and she knew he'd come back with a witty and rude remark to try to put her down.
"Well.........Iwantedtoknowifyouwanttogoseeamovieandgetsomethingtoeatlaterto nightisthat'sokwithyou." Said Inu-Yasha breathing heavily and blushing slightly. He talked quite fast and he hoped she had understood what he said. He hadn't been this nervous since the first time he asked Kikyo out.
"Are you asking me out on a date Inu-Yasha?" Asked Kagome. She had done it. He hoped she wouldn't mention the whole thing that it was all meant for a date but she did and he felt the slight shade of pink return to his cheeks again. Quick he had to think of something witty before she broke his emotional wall he had worked so hard to keep anyone from finding out his true emotions. "Um.......well......yeah. You could call it that but it's only because I have nothing better to do." He said smirking. Sure it wasn't the best witty remark he had in mind but it was better than nothing.
"Sure. I'd love to go out tonight. What time?" Asked Kagome ingnoring Inu- Yasha's last comment. She knew he was a jerk at times and if she gave him attention everytime he said something rude then it would be letting him win which she would never do.
"I'll pick you up at around 8:00 is that ok or will you still be trying to make yourself pretty even though is won't work." He said grinning at the scowl that had made it's way to her face that had not just a minute ago held so much innocence.
"I don't need to make myself pretty for an ass sorry." Bam! Yeah she came back with a good remark and she knew it becasue the smile on Inu-Yasha's face faded as he tried to think of a better come back. "But 8:00 is great. I gotta go but i'll see you tonight." She said. She walked over to the door to the room Sango and Miroku were in and opened it. Both boy and girl came tumbling out and landed on the floor Miroku catching Sango on his back.
"You guys can stop eavesdropping now." Inu-Yasha said rolling his eyes at the situation that had just happend. They were so nosy especially since Miroku knew what Inu-Yasha was going to say. They might as well have stayed in the room with him and Kagome it was Miroku's suggestion to do it alone and in private.
Miroku got up making Sango fall off of him. He decided to take advantage of the situation. "How do you know we weren't making out?" He said mentally slapping himself in the head. Sango was going to kill him but hey it was a good plan then being caught eavesdropping, but Sango being clueless as Kagome had concluded earlier. "Eww......You know I would never do that with you!" Sango protested. He closed his eyes. She had just ruined his whole plan he'd have to teach her when he was trying to save her butt or not.
"Well sorry to ruin your little makeout session but I gotta go see ya." Said Kagome dodging a playful slap from Sango who had given her a playful glare which she returned. They laughed and she headed out feeling happy and good.
Kagome had a black mini skirt on and a red tank top. She was waiting in her living room for Inu-Yasha. She glanced at the clock that hung above the fireplace it read 7:59. Her doorbell rang making her nearly fly out of her seat. 3 years of that thing and she still wasn't used to it. She walked over to the door fiddling with the lock and opening it to see Inu-Yasha dressed in black slacks and a baby blue muscle shirt. "Ready to go?" He asked casually leaning against the door frame.
"Yeah. just let me get my purse." She said grabbing her purse as they walked out of the house. Kagome was amazed as they made their way down the shrine steps with a black porsche parked at the bottom of them.
Inu-Yasha noticed her gushing over the car. "Compliments of my brother." He said with a smile. Kagome could tell Inu-Yasha didn't like help from his brother but he was trying to impress her so she played along even though she was truly amazed. They got into the car and headed for the movie theatre.
"What movie do you want to see?" Inu-Yasha asked as he looked for a parking space. "Well this is going to sound weird coming from a girl but I really want to go see a horror flick." Said Kagome as Inu-Yasha located a parking space and immediatly took it before a red convertable did. "That's fine with me cuz I really didn't want to go see a chick flick no offense." He said getting out of the car. "None taken." She said following him out.
They walked into the theatre and found good seats in the middle. During the movie Kagome would ocassionally get closer to Inu-Yasha when there were 'scary' parts. The best part so far was when Inu-Yasha jumped out of seat.
"Can you see them Sesshy?" Rin asked jumping up and down anxiously.
"Yes Rin they're in the 10th row Inu-Yasha has his arm around Kagome's shoulder." Answered Sesshomaru still looking at the couple.
"Aww they make such a cute couple! Hey where are they going to dinner tonight?" Asked Rin.
"Umm, I think they're going to Angelo's Spaghetti house." He answered turning back to the screen.
"Oh, that will be so romantic. The stars in the sky, the romantic view, and music. It will be perfect." Rin said going on and on.
"Rin, it's only the first date i'ts not like Inu-Yasha is going to propose." Said Sesshomaru.
"That would be perfect if he did that!" Rin squealed. Someone nearby turned around and shushed her up.
"Sorry." Mumbled Sesshomaru. "Rin you need to control yourself I don't want them to see us." Whispered Sesshomaru sternly.
"Oh, ok." Whispered Rin going back to watching the movie but really she was watching the couple.
"That was a great movie wasn't it Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked with a big smile. She was happy to be at the movies with Inu-Yasha. All he did the whole time was be nice to her.
"Oh yeah. " Inu-Yasha said in a shaky voice. The way his heart was beating made him breathless. When he put his arm around Kagome he felt buterflies emerge and flutter throughout his stomach. He thought he was just hungry and shrugged it off. "So are you ready for dinner? I was thinking of taking you to Angelo's spaghetti house." He said to cover up his shaky voice earlier.
"That sounds great!" She said as they headed for his car. When they arrived they got out and Inu-Yasha got a table for two out on the pateo. It was a beautiful night, tons of stars in the sky. Inu-Yasha and Kagome were enjoying their spaghetti. While Inu-Yasha was taking a sip from his coke he noticed his brother and his girlfriend sitting not to far away. About four tables away actually he groaned. "Don't look now." He mumbled.
"What?" Asled Kagome looking at what had caught Inu-Yasha's attention "Sesshomaru and Rin are here. Probably spying." Said Inu-Yasha behind her. "Just ignore them. Waiter check!" He yelled getting the waiter's attention.
"Inu-Yasha is pulling the 'waiter' on us!" Said Rin disappointed that they were leaving before any action kicked in.
"What?" Asked Sesshomaru finally joining the conversation. He was to busy playing with his cell phone to hear what Rin had said. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "He's getting the check because he saw us. I told you we should have stayed inside by the window." She scolded throwing a straw wrapper at him.
"But you were the one that wanted to hear them." Sesshomaru always found a way to blame things on Rin and she let him that's one thing he loved so much about her. He always won. "Well let's go it's obvious they're uncomfortable." He said getting up. "Yeah." Said Rin joining him.
They got up and started to leave when a waitress walked by with a large order of drinks on her tray. As she passed them Sesshomaru couldn't help it and he put out his foot which she reluctantly tripped over spilling every single drink right on Kagome.
Kagome sat there in pure shock at what had just happened. "Excuse me." She said getting up and running to the bathroom while everyone looked at Inu- Yasha before turning back to there own lives. Inu-Yasha sighed and thought. 'What a stupid waitress. Remember never to come here again.' He rubbed his aching temples as he waited for Kagome to get back from her trip to the bathroom.
When Kagome finally got out of the bathroom she was clean but still sticky and cold. She walked up to the table and sat down as Inu-Yasha's head shot up to meet her eyes.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah just a bit sticky but other than that." She said smiling.
"Good." Said Inu-Yasha as he broke out in a huge fit of giggles. Kagome looked at him. She pitied him how something so embaressing could amuse him, but as she thought about it she realized the situation and couldn't help but begin to laugh also. After their fit of laughs stopped.
"So do you want to go?" Asked Inu-Yasha wiping tears from his eyes as he chuckled which was his finale for his burst out.
"No it's o-" But Kagome was cut off by a plate of spaghetti landing in her lap as Inu-Yasha let out another burst of laughter smack her in the face. She glared at him and got up refusing the watresses attempt to clean her up. "I want to go now!" She told him walking into the doors that led out to the patio and walked out of th restaurant. Inu-Yasha paid before apoligizing to the waitress and following after Kagome.
"You are such a drama queen!" He yelled catching up to her.
"No, i'm not if you haven't noticed i'm covered in soda and spaghetti sauce!" She yelled walking off.
"Get over it! You're worse than Kikyo." He muttered. She shot a glance at him glaring her anger into him like daggers. That had done it she blew up. "You are such an idiot Inu-Yasha don't you ever! And I repeat ever compare me to that bitch ok!" He hadn't expected it and so when it happened he had tried to grab her as people passing by were staring at the two of them as if they were crazy teens in love.
She pulled away from his grasp and yelled. "Don't touch me!" She walked across the street past the car. "Kagome the car's here." Said Inu-Yasha following her in her frantic run. "I'll walk." She said as she reached the sidewalk and began to jog as she shivered slightly in the cold of the night. "You can't walk!" Yelled Inu-Yasha walking after her. She turned around making him stop just before he ran into her. She turned around as her blue eyes met his. "Watch me." She said challenging him. She turned back around as her hair whacked him the face.
He growled and called after her. "Fine!" He walked back to his car. Instead of speeding off like a mad man like he wanted to he got out his cell and immedaitly dialed Miroku's house.
"Hello?" Came the startled voice of Miroku. Knowing him he was probably asleep or with another chick.
"Hey man." Said Inu-Yasha in a mono tone so his voice couldn't tell off his emotions therefore confusing Miroku.
"Hey Inu-Yasha! How was the date? Did you and Kagome have a 'fun' time?" Asked Miroku his perverted mind getting the best of him yet again.
"Get your mind out of the gutter!!!! anyways we bumped into Sesshomaru and Rin and that stupid wench yelled at me and ran off!" Yelled Inu-Yasha smacking his head against his steering wheel causing it to honk the horn. There was silence on the other end of the line as Miroku registered this new news before he spoke again. "What?!? How are you ever going to win this if you keep messing up!" He yelled.
"I don't keep messing up!" Yelled Inu-Yasha. Sure he made her mad and she did the same to him. The feeling was mutual thy hated each other and that was that no doubt about it.
"Ok, then we'll call Sango." Said Miroku. If anything Sango would already know what happened becasue Kagome would have told her so they would get the better side of the story. "Hang on." Said Miroku going to the other line before Inu-Yasha could protest. When he came back there was a ringing tone. "I'm not here." Said Inu-Yasha before Sango picked up.
"Hello?" She said. Miroku's heart began to melt. Man she always did this to him even the sound of her voice sent shivers all over his warm body. "S...Sango?" He asked knowing it was her but he still needed and excuse for studdering so that was it.
"Yeah.......who is this?" She asked. She didn't know who it was. After being friends with Inu-Yasha and Miroku for 4 years she still didn't recognize his voice after calling her so many times to ask her to the dance only to get a dial tone when she hung up. "It's Miroku." He said casually as he heard a sigh knowing it came from Inu-Yasha. He went on. "So have you talked to Kagome?" He asked.
"Yeah, have you talked to Inu-Yasha?" She asked. If he told her he did she would catch on to what he was doing so he lied even though he didn't want to he did. "No, that's why i'm calling you to get the details on the date and how it went." He said in his oh-so-casual voice.
"Well.......they had fun at the movies and then at the restaurant ran into Sesshomaru and Rin which led to drinks and a plate of Spaghetti landing on Kagome's lap. When she went to leave Inu-Yasha called her a drama queen and compared her to Kikyo." Said Sango rather fast as if she had witnessed the whole thing and was merely remembering it.
"Oh really?" Said Miroku in a higher pitch to get Inu-Yasha's attention .On the other line Inu-Yasha sat there covering his mouth with his hand to stop himself from doing anything he'd later on regret.
"Yeah and Kagome was so upset she left him and walked home that arragont jerk letting her do that especially when all she's been is nice." Said Sango sternly. Inu-Yasha let out a silent snort. Like hell Kagome was nice to him. Tonight had been an exception but she ruined it with her attitude at the end he wouldn't forget that.
"Well is that it?" Asked Miroku thinking of what to do about the whole situation. "Yeah I think so." Came Sango's voice as she thought it over. "Yup!"She said loudly into the phone making Inu-Yasha and Miroku pull their phones away from their ears in a flash. "ok well that's it really i'll have a 'talk' with Inu-Yasha." Said Miroku sternly as Sango gave him her aww you're so sweet talk. He sat there listening to every sweet word she said as he drifted off into his dreams that were perverted.
"Well that's all I wanted to say, bye!" She said as she hung up to his murmur of. "sure." She rolled her eyes. Sometimes he could be so stupid.
For a while silence was upon the two boys when Miroku said. "You don't always mess up huh?" He asked slyly waiting for Inu-Yasha's loud protest but it never came. He pouted slightly then heard Inu-Yasha's still mono tone answer. "So what it was one mistake i'll fix it buy apoligizing to her tommorrow." He said and hung up the phone before Miroku could say anything. Mirou stared at the phone as the operater said something into it. He hung up mumbling to himself about "Never making bets again, especially with Inu- Yasha."
[A/N: The chapter was supposed to end here but I thought that that was too cruel and decided to use up my next one which was short.]
Kagome woke up with a throbbing headache. She remembered the night beofre with Inu-Yash. She groaned and forced herself to get up and headed for the bathroom. When she was done she headed downstairs.
"Good morning!" Greeted her mother cheerfully. Her mother was always a morning person. Kagome never knew why but she just was. "Hi mom." She mumbled sitting down at the table. "Are you ok?" Asked Her mother still cheery.
"Yeah i'm just tired, in fact i'll take breakfast to go." Said Kagome grabbing toast as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out. "Ok, have a good day at school." called her mom after her. Kagome waved without looking back and went to go meet up with Sango.
"Hi!" Said Sango. Not another cheery person on Kagome's back today. Wow this must have been a record. "Hi." Mumbled Kagome the same way she did with her mother back at the house.
"You still upset?" Asked Sango seeing the pain flood through Kagome's blue orbs.
"Yeah." Mumbled Kagome looking away as they began to walk. "I'm so.....so.sorry." Said Sango giving her friend the sympathetic look. "It's ok it's just.......he compared me to Kikyo." Said Kagome still in shock from it all.
"I know and I really don't know why he did it but.....oh never mind." She said shrugging off the idea in her head.
"No, what?" Asked Kagome her gaze now filled with interest. Sango looked at her. "Nothing really just forget I opened my mouth." Said Sango her lips were now sealed and nothing would make her say what she wanted to. "No, tell me what you were going to say." Said Kagome. Sango couldn't resist she heaved a sigh and said. "Ok, but you have to promise me you will not get mad." Said Sango looking at Kagome with complete trust.
"Ok, I promise." Said Kagome no sign of lying in her voice or anything. "Promise?" Asked Sango just to make sure that nothing would crack Kagome. "Promise!" Yelled Kagome getting irritated. Sango really needed to work on her people skills.
"Ok, maybe well.......thisisjustaguessandifit'struewhichofcourseitwon'tbebecausehe'snot likethatbutifitisyoudon'tneedtoworry."
"Sango!" Yelled Kagome.
"What? Oh, sorry well anyways maybe he still likes Kikyo." Said Sango cutting to the chase of the start of this conversation.
Kagome looked away as tears threatened to sting her eyes. Why was she acting like this. She didn't like Inu-Yasha so why would she care. Maybe it was the thought of just being led on that hurt more than anything. She wiped her wet cheek and sniffled a little.
"Don't cry!" Said Sango putting a reassuring arm around Kagome's shoulder. "I'm not!" Protested Kagome but even she knew that it was a lie and that she did care if Inu-Yasha liked Kikyo this made her more angry and she decided that the little twerp would pay.
Kagome had managed to avoid Inu-Yasha for the whole day with the help of Sango. She was walking to her locker after the last bell. She looked at her watch before beggining to quicken her pace when she tripped over someone. She cursed as she fell flat on her face. When she picked up her face she felt like it was fate. She came face to face with those violet orbs that she had tried so desperatly to avoid all day. She felt strong arms pick her up and gently place her back steadily on the ground. "Inu-Yasha?" She said a bit dazed but soon even he could tell that her face showed hurt and most of all anger. She pulled away from him. "Get the hell away from me!" She yelled walking out of the school down the steps. She felt the cold trickles of water hit her head as she looked up. It was raining. "Damn!" She cursed and began to quicken her pace to avoid the rain and Inu-Yasha who was going after her. "Kagome, Wait!" He called after her as he tried to catch up.
"Just hear me out!" He called grabbing her arm. "Why should I?" she yelled as he pulled her so that thier faces were barely an inch apart. "Listen to me." He whispered. She could feel his hot breath on hers as she gave up in deafeat. 'stupid Inu-Yasha' She thought glaring at him.
