Chapter 2: Just a Little Romance

Kagome had just gotten out of the shower and was rummaging through her closet to find something nice to wear. Still wrapped in a towel, she stood up and tried to remember where she put her dress. "What did I do with that dress?" she thought aloud when she heard a nock at her door. Without bothering to turn around she answered, "What is it?"
"I thought you might want your dress back," came Kikyo's voice "remember? The one you lent me when I went on that list date with that jerk?"
Kagome sat up strait and bashed her head on one of the shelves. "Fucking shit!" she cursed as she walked over to the door rubbing her head. She opened the door with her tail to see Kikyo holding the dress she was looking for, "I was beginning to wonder where I put that…" she said still rubbing her head
"You ok?" Kikyo asked as she gave her sister the dress, "I heard a bang and you swearing…"
"Yeah, I knocked my head on the damn shelf in the closet again" she replied
"Ok, have fun on your date…" she said as she turned to leave, "oh and don't forget to bring some protection!"
'WHAT!" Kagome screamed. "WE'RE GOING ON A DATE! NOT HAVING SEX!" she yelled at her sisters retreating back. 'Well maybe…' she thought with a grin as she closed the door to get changed. 'Still got 10 minutes,' she thought with a quick look at her clock.

Inuyasha stood at the door and rang the doorbell. He quickly checked himself over. He was wearing a white silky dress shirt along with some black loose dress pants. He didn't bother wearing a tie because he could never figure out how to put them on anyway. He had a bouquet of roses behind his back and he checked his watched to make sure he was on time. He heard the clicking of heels and he turned his attention back to the door.
Kagome answered the door and it was all Inuyasha could do to stop his mouth from dropping. Kagome was gorgeous…no…for a better word, ravishing. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, with a "V" shaped to that showed a little cleavage but enough to get any guys attention. On one side of the dress there was a green vine pattern going up and at her hip there was a single white rose. Hear hair was tired up in an elegant bun that was held in by two black chopsticks. On her feet were high heels that were held on by two straps that seemed to crawl up her ankle and latch at the back. She had light pink lipstick and had crystal studded earrings.
"Did I overdress?" Kagome asked after seeing the look she got from him.
Inuyasha shook his head, "No, your beautiful!" Taking the roses out from behind his back, "for you," he said shyly as she took them from him
"Thank you Inuyasha, they're beautiful," she said happily, "why don't you come in for a moment, I have something I have to grab anyway." She moved aside slightly and let him into the house, "it's not much but make yourself at home," she said as she closed the door. As she turned to go into the living room she felt a hand lightly but firmly grip her wrist. She turned to face her date as he got closer to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I hope you like what I got planned for tonight," he said with a grin
"I'm sure I will," she said smiling back at him
He put his lips to hers in a warm and loving kiss. Wrapping her arms around his neck and tail around his leg, she returned the kiss. His lips were incredibly soft and gentle. He broke for air after about 30 seconds and she slipped away from him, "I'll be right back," she whispered before she walked into the living room.
He stood there and put his fingers on his lips. 'Wow…' he thought 'she's a good kisser' and turned just as she came back into the entrance area.
She had a sliver necklace with a small semi-transparent crystal attached to it around her neck and she had another one in her hand. She walked up to him and slid the necklace over his head and around his neck. "For friendship and good luck," she said when he gave her a questioning look.
"Yeah? Now where were we?" he said as he put his arms around her once again. He put his lips to hers once again and she quickly responded. About 45 seconds passed before they broke for air. "Shall we go?" he asked
"I think we shall," she replied with a small giggle. She was always one for romantic dates, which was surprising considering her sometimes-spicy personality. As they walked to his car, a black Mitsubishi Spider with the license plate 'Hanyou', she took another good look at him, 'oh man, he's hot even in these clothes!' she thought happily, 'I wonder what he's got planned…'

They were just leaving the theater and heading back to his car. So far the night had been perfect. First he showed her around town a bit and then they went to the movies. He let her pick the movie and didn't complain when she picked a romance. It was a good thing the theater was pretty much empty because they made out during most of the movie. (AN: I HAVE done this before, I almost had sex in a theater once too but the guy up in the booth was watching:Sweatdrops: Anyway back to the story.) The got into his black Mitsubishi Spider and started to drive off towards the restaurant.
"How did you like it so far?" Inuyasha asked, with a hint of hopefulness in his voice
"I've loved it" Kagome replied giving him a quick peck on the cheek because he was still driving.
Inuyasha smiled, not taking his eyes off the road. "I think you'll like where we are going for diner," he said with a quick glance at her
"And where would that be?" she asked
"A surprise," he said, his smile getting bigger. 'I know she'll like the place,' he took another quick glance at her and saw her smiling at him. He looked back to the road again and they sat in silence, enjoying the feel of each other's presence. He pulled up to what looked like a very elegant and expensive restaurant, from the outside anyway. The name of the restaurant was Light of the Shikon. As he parked his car at the side of the building he heard her gasp and chuckled.
"Inuyasha…" she looked over at his grinning face
"It's not as expensive as it looks," he said with a laugh and got out of the car. Going to the other side of the car he opened the passenger door and held his hand out for Kagome. Kagome too his hand and got out of the car and they walked arm in arm towards the entrance. "I come here a lot," he informed her, "a very good friend of mine works here and the food is excellent." They walked into the restaurant and waited for a waiter to come by and seat them.
The waiter came around the corner and when he saw them quickly came over. "Ah Master Takizashi, come to visit us again have you?" the waiter said politely, "and who is this beautiful woman you have with you?"
"This is my date, Kagome Higurashi," Inuyasha said, "and how many times must I tell you to call me Inuyasha not 'Master Takizashi'," he finished with a laugh.
"Ah, my apologies Inuyasha," the waiter said, "Please, right this way."
As he led them to their table, Kagome raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha. "Master Takizashi?" she whispered with a small laugh
"My father…" he whispered back rolling his eyes, "I swear they do it every time I come here just to piss me off." Kagome let out a small giggle.
"Here is your usual table, Mast…Inuyasha," the waiter said as they both sat down, "Darien will be here to take your orders in a moment."
"Actually…" Inuyasha interrupted, "could you ask Ayame if she would serve us?"
"Ah yes, I'm sure she will be more than happy," the waiter left to go find Ayame.
"So," Inuyasha said turning back to Kagome, "how long have you lived in this area?"
"5 days," she replied, "and so far, I like it here a lot, even though I do kind of miss living at the old family shrine."
"You lived in a shrine before?" he looked surprised
"Yes, but we moved because of a few reasons" she smiled
"And those reasons would be?" he asked gently
"Well you see…" but before she could continue a very perky girl walking up to the table cut her off
"Heya Inuyasha!" the girl said cheerily while pulling out a pad of paper and a pen.
'Later' Inuyasha mouthed to Kagome and she nodded. "Hello Ayame," he said with a smile
"Who's your date?" Ayame asked casually
"Ah, this is Kagome Higurashi," he grinned, "and Kagome this is Ayame Hirokami"
Ayame shook Kagome's hand, "nice to meet you"
"Same here," Kagome replied with a smile, "you're a wolf demon right?"
Ayame nearly fell over with surprise but dropped her pen and paper. "Whoa! How'd you know!" she said with a look of shock
"I can tell by your aura," Kagome replied, not able to help but smile
"So you're a miko-halfdemon?" Ayame asked
"Well, I guess you could say that…" she replied while rubbing the back of her neck
"Wow cool, Inuyasha you lucky dog," Ayame said with a wink
"Yeah I guess I am," he said with a laugh, "so, you get a chance to talk to Kouga?"
"Yeah right! That bastard totally ignored me again today!" she said indignantly. "I wish he'd just admit he likes me" she nearly whined
"Well, you better hurry up with him" Inuyasha said with a laugh
"Oh and why's that?" she asked
"Because my twin sister was checking him out today," Kagome answered for him, "and he looked pretty interested in her…"
"Now way!" she exclaimed
"Yeah way" Inuyasha said with a grin
"There is no way in hell he's getting away from me THAT easy!" she growled. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and then burst our laughing. "Its not funny!" Ayame complained
"Heh, sorry, sorry" Inuyasha said as his laughter calmed
"You better be…" Ayame mutter and picked up the pen and paper she dropped, "so what can I get you today?"

Kagome and Inuyasha were just sitting and talking now, the empty plates had already been taken away. "So let me get this strait," Inuyasha said, "your mom and dad got divorced. He got your younger brother Souta and your mom got you and your sister Kikyo?"
"That's right," Kagome said, "and we moved and he got the shrine. My mom wanted to us to move to this area because there were better schools and such. I think she wanted to move for another reason but she said it was the only one."
"I see," he said with a quick smile "your lucky that you have your family…"
"What about you? Don't you have any relatives?" she asked in a gentle tone
"Yeah, my older brother Sesshomaru. We don't really get along though," he said with a laugh
"What about your mom and dad?" she asked
"Well, my dad died before I was born and my mom died when I was four," he said with a sad smile, "after that my brother took care of me until I turned 16 and left."
"I'm sorry," she apologized "I shouldn't have asked…"
"Nah, it's ok" he said, "You don't need to be sorry. I don't usually answer questions about my past but for you I did." He smiled at her again, "I'm actually glad that I was able to tell someone, I feel much better about it now. Thanks."
"No problem," she said with a smile
"Well, shall we go?" he asked and she nodded. As the walked towards the exit Inuyasha called behind the counter, "see ya Ayame! Good luck with Kouga!"
"Thanks," she called back, "see ya Kagome, Inuyasha!"
He paid for the bill, despite her saying she would pay for part of it. He insisted that it was his treat and she shouldn't worry about it. As they made their way to the car they paused to look at the full moon. After a while they got into the car and he drove Kagome home.

AN: Good? Bad? Well, I like it anyway. I know Inuyasha seems a bit "off-character" but then again he's always liked Kagome. He just wouldn't admit it until I came along!
Anyway, Please Review!
