Chapter 8: Saved by the Growl
"So! Do you know where you want to go?"
"No. Um, I guess anywhere...wherever you'd like to go"
He smiled, "Okay then. Follow me"
Kagome physiologically hesitated, but physically she was moving. Stride after stride...and she was still holding Houjo's hand.
He glanced back at her, grinned, and kept moving. And then they came to a halt. Houjo had led her into a place packed full of trees. Kagome looked around. It was dark, but the moon shined it's white light upon them. Then Houjo let go of her hand, and spoke:
"You know...this tree here," he pointed, "is the tree of 'Sacred Passion'"
Okay, what's your point?
"It's said that...", he moved nearer to her, "that if you experience your-"
Please don't say it, please don't say it
"First kiss-"
Ugh, he had to say it
"In front of this tree, then you and your counterpart will be together forever"
Lovely. May I leave now?
He moved even closer and he put his hand on Kagome's shoulder. She looked at his hand, then looked back up at his face.
He looked so...serious. So, passionate. He looked sincere and sweet.
Yeah, I'm creeped out
Then he moved his hand, ever so slowly to her cheek and moved his face in...it was like in slow motion.
Then that give you time to push him away!
All of a sudden, just as their lip were about an inch apart a loud growl broke the deep, awkward silence.
"What was that?!" Kagome yelled
Thank you whatever growled. Thank you so much
Then Kagome turned to Houjo, "YOU TRIED TO KISS ME! DIDNT YOU?"
He blushed, "Yes I did"
She turned her head and made a disgusted face, then turned back around.
"Houjo, I'd like to go home...now"
Houjo seemed shocked, "Oh. Okay"
Then the situation, seeming more awkward now than ever was practically silent. Besides Houjo and his determined nature of asking, 'so did you have fun", 'did you enjoy yourself?', 'what are you doing when you get home?'
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! He never shuts up!
Oh god, was she ever stressed out. Aah her nerves were fried. She felt like she was going crazy. Everything stupid Houjo did made her mad. Then, they reached the shrine.
Yes! I'm free!
He turned to her and opened his arms. it was the lest she could do. so she hugged him, trying to display a glimmer of happiness. Then he pulled away slowly.
"Okay. well I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Right?"
"Yeah. I should be in school"
Then she realized Houjo's voice sounded defeated and she instantly felt a huge wave of guilt. yet. she did nothing to shake the feeling.
Instead, she just...went inside and slept. that was of course after washing all the gunk out of her hair and her face. and getting out of those heels and that dress. after all that, she felt exhausted and fell into a deep slumber.
