Disclaimer: I always forget to do this, I think it's because I tell myself that I own Inuyasha so much…that I'm starting to believe it…lol But no really, I will never own Inuyasha…sigh …

Chapter 11: A Question and a Walk.

"What did you want Kagome?" Sango asked when they got into the bathroom.

"Sango, could it be that, Inuyasha is poor and can't afford food?" Kagome asked bluntly.

Sango blinked. "Of course not, I don't think so…"
"Well, I was wondering where Inuyasha lived…" Kagome asked.

"He lives on 5th street…why?"

'Wow, that's like the richest part of town…' Kagome thought 'Then why in the world would Kouga act like he lived in a trailer park?'

"Sorry, I was just curious…" Kagome said to Sango.

Sango smiled and they went out to see that the boys were bringing back the tray of food.

Kagome and Sango ate their fries as the boys ate their meals.

Kagome wasn't really able to eat, after watching Inuyasha shove his cheeseburger down his throat, finishing in a mere 5 seconds.

"Um, Inuyasha, do you want the rest of my fries, I'm not really hungry." She said kindly.

Inuyasha eyed her suspiciously, but ended up taking them and he stuffed them in his mouth.

"Fank ou." He said with his mouth full of food.

Kagome nodded, but she couldn't help but stare at him. 'He looks so, hungry…' she thought. 'For someone who kept saying he wasn't…why didn't he eat for so long, he doesn't really seem to be someone with an eating disorder…'

When Inuyasha had swallowed, he looked at Kagome, who was staring at him with her eyes filled with concern and caring.

He shook his head. 'Why would she think that way about me, is it pity? Does it look like I need pity?' he thought.

"Hey, wench…"
"My name is Kagome." She said dryly.

"Right, uh, KA-Go-Me, I was wondering; if, a if you wanted to a, wanted to, want to go…"
"Spit it out already." She said.

"Do you, want to Mumble, Mumble, Mumble "
"Inuyasha, I couldn't hear you, speak up."

"Do you want to go, go with me to, the winter dance?" he asked.

Kagome had to strain to hear what he said and then was still shaky on whether she had heard him right.

"Of, course it wouldn't be a date or anything, and Miroku and Sango would be there…" He trailed off.

"Yea, I'd like that a lot." She said smiling.

"Ok, I guess, I'll pick you up Friday at 7:30?" He said.

Kagome cocked her left eyebrow. "Do, you have a car?"

"Well, uh, sort of, ok, no." He said.

"Why don't I pick you up then?"
"Because I'm the guy, you're the girl, and I'm suppost to pick you up."
"But I thought you said it wouldn't be like a date." She said, with a sly grin on her face, she kind of liked to make him squirm.

"Well, Maybe it is like a date, all I know is, that I'm picking you up, all right, I'll work out a ride." He said, and she knew not to push farther, his mind was set.

After they had eaten, Miroku gave Inuyasha a ride 'home.'

Kagome couldn't help notice that when they drove away, he bounded off in another direction.

Inuyasha was going to be late for his new job at the movie theater.

'I get paid on Thursday, so maybe if I'm lucky, it will be enough to get some sort of ride for me and her, but then I have to wait 2 weeks to be paid again. I'll just have to stretch out the Ramen, and I'll figure something out for lunch…' he thought 'but why do I feel the need to do all this for this girl I just met?' He sighed as he ran towards the movie theater.

He arrived 5 minutes late, but no one noticed. He got his uniform on and stood behind the counter.

He scooped out popcorn, and filled cups with soda, for 4 hours, till 8:00, when he got off work and changed into his street clothes, and slowly began the walk home.

His stomach growled as he walked slowly towards home, passing fast food places and restaurants. Everything smelled so good…

"Hey, Inuyasha!" Coming out of his thoughts, Inuyasha groaned but stopped and turned around.

"What are you doing out here so late at night?" Kagome asked catching up to where he was.

"I should be asking you the same thing." He said blankly.

"Oh, I was picking up a few things for my mom, you?" She said holding up a bag full of odd groceries.

"I was a, just, a taking a walk." He said, tumbling over his words badly.

"Taking a walk, huh? Well then, I'll walk with you to your house, unless you care…"
"Whatever floats you're boat, wench."
"My name isn't wench."
"Kagome…" He said quietly. She looked up at him, he had a dazed expression and it looked like he was thinking about something.
"Inuyasha, is there something wrong?" He didn't answer right away; instead, he slowly turned toward her.

"What? Oh, a no nothing's wrong."

"Well, then, lets get going, I want to get home." Kagome said.

Inuyasha nodded, and with out realizing what he was doing, he began walking into the trailer park.

"Um, Inuyasha, where are you going?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha blinked. "Oh, heh, heh, my bad, wrong way…" He trailed off.

Kagome blinked. 'Weird…'

They began walking towards 5th street.

"Hey, Kagome, don't you live that way?" Inuyasha asked pointing down a well lit street.

"Yep."

"Well, I'll walk you home, makes more sense then for you to come all the way to my house just to have to turn back, right?"

Kagome nodded.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked up the street in silence.

"So Inuyasha, have you seen any good movies lately?" Kagome broke the uneasy silence.

"I don't go to movies." He said bluntly. He really wasn't paying attention to what he was saying; he was too tired to even check what was coming out of his mouth. If he so much as closed his eyes for longer than a second, he'd probably fall over asleep.

"Ok…" Kagome said slowly.
"So, do you watch Family Guy?" She asked, changing the subject.

"No."

"What do you watch?"
"I don't."
"What do you mean you don't?"
"I don't watch TV." Kagome stared at him.

"Why?"

"Well, I can't exactly watch a TV I don't own…"

Kagome couldn't believe her ears; not many people she knew didn't have a TV, especially since he must be pretty rich to live on 5th street 'maybe his family disapproved of TV?' She thought.

"So, what do you do for fun? You know, after school?"
"I don't do anything, I work." If Inuyasha had been fully awake, he wouldn't have been quite so honest.

"Where do you work?"

"The movie theater."

"Why do you work?" Kagome asked thinking his family probably didn't need him to.

"Because I need money for…" Before saying what was on his mind he stopped himself.

"…Stuff." He finished.

They arrived at her front door. Kagome rang the bell and a small boy with black hair came and opened it.

"Hey Kagome, is this you're boyfriend? Is this the one you're going on a date with? Are you going to kiss each other? Is he going to become my brother in-law?" Kagome gaped at her little brother.

"No, yes, not right now, not any time soon." Inuyasha answered, counting on his fingers.

Souta smiled at him

"At least you picked one that can keep up with me this time, that Homo guy, he was SLOW!" Souta said really fast. "And really boring." He mumbled as an after thought.

Inuyasha smirked.

"Well, I'll see you at school tomorrow, see you wench." Inuyasha said, walking down the many steps from the shrine.

Kagome would have said something to him, had she not felt compelled to kill her younger sibling.

"Get back here you!" She screamed as she chased him around the couch.

Kagome finally caught her brother in a firm choker hold.

"This will teach you to mind your own business!"

"MOM! Kagome's hurting me!" Souta yelled in that universal whiny tone.

"Kagome, stop hurting you're brother." Mrs. Higurashi yelled from the kitchen.

Kagome had an evil smirk on her face. She stuffed a sock in Souta's mouth.

"Ok Mom, I won't hurt him…"

"…much." She added quietly.

Souta's eyes widened, his screams were muffled through the sock until he finally spit it out.

"Eww…Kagome, you're feet stink."
"They're your socks moron." She said, about to stuff it back in his mouth.

"MOM! HELP ME!" He screeched before the sock was back in his mouth.

His mom came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand that she was drying with a hand towel.

"What is it now?" She asked, and then she saw Kagome wrestling Souta to the ground.

"Kagome, get off you're brother!"

"But Mom, he needs to learn to mind his own business!" She said reluctantly letting go of Souta.

"Souta, what have I told you about leaving you're sister alone?"
"I just asked her boyfriend some questions!" He whined.

Kagome's mom turned to her daughter.

"You have a boyfriend, already!" Her eyes lit up.

"No mom, he's NOT my boyfriend!"

"But you're going on a date with him." Souta countered.

"Ooo, when is this blessed occasion, we must go shopping for the perfect Kimono!" Her mom said, going up to Kagome and hugging her.

"It's not like that mom, he's just a friend and he's taking me to the dance, with some other friends." Kagome said defending herself.

"Right…" Her mother said slowly, obviously unconvinced.

"Really Mom, he's just a friend."

"Ok, whatever you say, but we still need to get you a nice Kimono for the dance, so that maybe someone will ask you to dance, since this boy ISN'T you're date." Her mom said.

"That sounds great, but we need to go soon, since the dance is on Friday."

"Ok, we'll go on Thursday." Kagome and her mom agreed.

"Um, guys, tomorrow IS Thursday." Souta reminded them.

"I know that!" they both said in unison.

Kagome went up to her room to go to bed; she had school tomorrow…'yuck' she thought as she got into her pajamas and went to bed.
