11. Would You Like To Go Out?
Koga moped around all the next day. He sat in the kitchen. He sat by the well. He sat on Kagome's bed. He sat at the back of the house. Koga also scribbled on papper. He even tried to draw Ginta and Hakakku. Little circles with eyes. One with a mohawk. One with crazy hair. Ginta. Hakakku. Brothers. 'Damn it hurts me!' He tried to think of somthing else, but, with no victory, he couldn't free Ginta and Hakakku from his mind. 'They're stuck.'
Kagome walked into the kitchen, where Koga was sitting quietly doodling. "Hey Koga."
Koga looked up. "Hey."
"What are you up to." Kagome peeked over Koga's shoulder.
"Just...scribbling is all." Koga answered. He continued scribbling.
Kagome sat down next to Koga. "Koga," she started. "Would you like to go out tonight?"
Koga stopped what he was doing. "Sure."
"Okay. Do you want to go eat somewhere?"
"Whatever makes you happy will make me happy."
"Mmm." Kagome stood. "I'll go and prepare." She left Koga to his scribbling.
Kagome picked out a red dress and a golden necklace. When it was time to go she went back down to Koga.
Koga stared at Kagome with awe in his eyes. "You look so beautiful."
Kagome smiled "Thank you." She noticed that Koga was wearing a black tuxedo. The one thing that was really different was that his hair was down and braided back. "And you look handsome."
Koga smiled.
They went out to a fancy resturaunt. When they were seated they sat across from eachother. Koga was already at the peak of blushing.
"So, what will it be?" Kagome opened up her menu.
"Uh...I..." Koga looked in his 'menu' to. "Steak. I guess. Is that okay?"
"Sure." Kagome folded her menu as the waitress came by. "To medium steakes please."
Thewaitress smiled and said, "Alright. I'll have your orders in a moment. Would you like to have anything to drink."
Kagome looked over to Koga.
"Uh...just water please." Koga said.
The waitress nodded and turned to agome.
Kagome said, "Water to."
"Okay, my name is Alice. May I ask ofyour names?"
"Uh...Koga here."
"Kagome."
"Nice to meet the two of you." Alice walked off.
When their order arrived, both Koga and Kagome thanked Alice. Koga took the steake in his bare hands and tore at it like the first night at Kagome's house. Then, he looked up unsure if he should eat like that. Kagome didn't mind. She ate hers with a fork and knife. Koga tried to copy but was not successful.
Later on, Kagome took Koga to a romantic spot. It was in a public garden blooming with beautiful flowers and a nearby pond of crystal clear water. They sat on a bench staring out at the lovely world around them. There was a slight breeze and Koga took off his coat and wrapped it around Kagome's shoulders. She didn't say anything. Instead, she layed her head on Koga's shoulder.
"Kagome. Thank you for inviting me out." Koga rested his hand on top of Kagome's, which was sitting in between them.
"Thank you for coming." Kagome closed her eyes.
Koga then put Kagome's face into his hands and pulled her closer. Then...he kissed her lightly.
