This was a change...a revelation even. It was a turn that made InuYasha have
that strange pace of his heart, and happiness. And he hated it. With every
ounce of himself, he despised the feeling. Yet, he wasn't doing anything to
stop himself from following her and that guy.
InuYasha walked stealthily so he could keep his being there a secret. He couldn't stop staring at Kagome. Neither could that guy she was with. InuYasha's hands clenched. That damn jealousy was kicking in...again.
Then the guy reached for Kagome's hand. InuYasha cringed and looked away. This was actually hurting him...offending him.
"We're going here!" InuYasha managed to hear from one of Kagome's friends.
The place was called Rapturous, and despite the non-classy name, the restaurant was very classical and elegant.
The big glass windows had Rapturous printed on it in silver cursive letters. Behind that the place was painted a light, peaceful green with pale yellow lighting and the tabletops were lime green jade. The aura of the place glowed tranquil and suddenly a thought hit him.
"It's HoHo!" he said aloud.
That guy was the HoHo guy...feh. InuYasha never cared for him much. All of his HoHo-ness and such.
InuYasha saw all 5 walk into the restaurant. Kagome and HoHo still hand in hand, while her friends bubbled with envy and happiness for Kagome.
They were led to a seat towards the front of the restaurant, and finally, their hands left each others. InuYasha breathed a sigh of relief.
Kagome sat poised and polite while the waiter took their orders.
Inside Rapturous...
Kagome felt awkward. Okay, way beyond awkward. The hand holding...did he think this was a date?
As the waiter showed then their way to their table she definitely felt weird. The grip from Houjo's hand on hers' felt so strange. Unnatural even.
When they arrived at their table Kagome's hand left Houjo's and she instantly felt relieved. So she sighed and sat down. The gorgeous jade tabletops shined brightly and the light fixtures above made Rapturous seem magical.
The waiter came and asked politely, "And what will you all be having?"
They ordered and then sat there silently. Everyone was exchanging glances of, "this is weird...say something...anything..." but the dead conversation remained un-resurrected and instead their ears filled with the buzz of the restaurant.
Each table engaging in their own little private conversations filled the air. Along with the delightful smell of yummy food.
It reminded her of when Kaede would fix her stew, the warm feeling she got inside that made her show a hint of a smile.
A couple walked past abruptly and Kagome studied the woman. Not the whole woman, though, just her neck. She wore a blue-ish , purple-ish beaded neckalce with charms in the shape of hearts in random places.
It reminded her of InuYasha. Aah, InuYasha, she though dreamily. How she adored him but was way too scared to ever admit it to anyone buy, herself, of course His cherry red kimono...even that was quite sexy...as long as he was wearing it....and she liked his hair. Pretty, pretty silver hair. She laughed to herself. Intense eyes...the kind that intrigued her so much. Made her just want to stare at him for days and see into him through the beautiful brown eyes that glittered each day she saw him. Then there were those ears. She smiled greatly inside. They were cute. Cute beyond cute. They were absolutely adorable. And he was absolutely perfect...physically. Emotionally, well, that was a whole other story but she still loved his short temper, his weird way of showing he cared for her, and how he was so ambitious and willful, and confident.
"Kagome...your food" Houjo said breaking her thoughts.
"Yeah...my food"
"It's going to get cold...you know that right?"
She laughed nervously, "Of course I knew that...."
Then began eating whatever she'd ordered but she honestly couldn't remember what it was. And didn't feel like trying to figure it out, or even looking down. She just dug in.
