That Date

By: Hadley-chan

I do not own InuYasha...Ah so here we go again with another story...Number 4! Looks a little different becuase i just figured out how to use QuickEdit! lol :D Please R&R

Kagome leaned over her window sill and looked down on the ground. Where was InuYasha already? It was time for him to come barging into the room and demanding where she had been. But InuYasha had not come for her. Kagome, enjoying her last couple of days in the modern era, decided to push her luck and stay for just a bit longer.

It was a quarter past five and with it came the ring of the door bell. She stood up, brushed the dirt off her skirt, and headed downstairs. Kagome opened the front door to see a slightly flushed hojo.

"Hojo are you alright?"

Kagome motioning for him to come into the house. Hojo gasped for air. "H...Hi Kagome. I...well...here." He handed her a pack of incense. "Well...they..." He bent over to catch his breath.

"Hojo please come sit down. What happened to you?"

Kagome walked over to a cabinet and reached up to try to get the cup down. "Ehh, I'm sorry Hojo all we have are these plastic cups. Is that ok?" She grabbed a cup but with no luck the whole stack fell to the floor. "Ugh..." Kagome groaned. She bent over giving Hojo quite an eye full. He made a toothy grin at Kagome's butt. But she was quick to turn around and give him a look. Kagome wasn't the only one giving him a look.

After Hojo had caught his breath, Kagome gazed down at the incense, "Ah what is this for again, Hojo?"

"They are for you lungs, Kagome. They will help cleanse them." He added matter-of-factly. "You know Kagome, sometimes even with all your sicknesses you still look as beautiful as ever." Kagome gave a guilty smile. "Ah yea I don't know. I guess I'm just lucky."

InuYasha growled as he looked downstairs. 'What was that guy doing with Kagome?' He tightened his fists. How dare he have the nerve to go by what was his. InuYasha was furious. What made him even more outraged was that Kagome was standing by and accepting his compliments. She was flirting with him! He would have gone down their and done something about it but he knew better then that

"Well um Kagome since it looks like you're free. Would you like to go out with me tonight?" He gave a shy smile at her. "Umm..." Kagome thought. She had promised InuYasha that she would return back to the Feudal Era. But that baka had decided not show up and come get her. Wasn't she supposed to enjoy her life just a little? Instead of fighting demons and sleeping on the ground all the time, wouldn't it be nice to take a little break and eat normal food and have a normal date? But it wasn't that bad...because InuYasha was there to protect her. 'Gah Kagome! Just go with him and then return to the Feudal Era. You sorta owe Hojo, you know. You always leave him hanging. Just this once.'

"Uh Kagome?" Kagome broke out of her trance. "Oh ok. Sure Hojo I'll go out with you tonight." She tried to look happy but she was getting this bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something or someone was missing.

'Shes doing what?? She's supposed to be with me!' InuYasha thought. 'And what was this "going out" all about.' InuYasha pondered the modern term until an ugly thought came to his head. 'Oh no! Kagome wouldn't!' He heard Kagome saying her goodbyes to the man. She was coming back upstairs. He had to get out. 'Shit! Where can I go?? I'm trapped!' He looked over to the still open window in her room. If he made a quick dash fot it maybe she wouldn't notice. 'But how to distract her?' InuYasha looked around and spotted buyu. 'Ah the cat' InuYasha put the cat at the top of the stairs and gave him a slight push, sending the cat tumbling down the stairs and into Kagome. InuYasha winced. 'Sorry Kagome'. He heard Kagome yelling at buyu to watch it or he might have gotten hurt. That gave him that extra time he needed to escape. He jumped out of the window and towards the well. Today just wasn't his day.

Ahh so here is the first chapter! I was going to make it a one shot but like Sick Sango I decided to make it longer. I hope you all enjoyed it. Please tell me what you thought! R&R.
