From Romeo and Juliet
Chapter 9 – All I Do
Last Time
Inuyasha stood there dazed and had no idea what had just happened until he heard the door close. He was speechless. He stood in front of her door for another few seconds and then retreated back to his limo.
Behind the door, Kagome slid down onto the floor and leaned against the door. She traced her lips with her finger and a smile crept onto her face. It was just like… Our first kiss…
In the limo, Inuyasha was still on Cloud 9. I can't believe… Kami I love her… He let a playful smile appear on his face as he continued to think about the girl he fell for. That was heaven…
One week after the club, "Heaven".
The silver-haired hanyou lay on his back on his king-sized bed. The only thoughts in his head were of Kagome, the girl who stole his heart. He grabbed a pillow near by and threw it above his head and then caught it. He kept throwing it and catching it, with images of Kagome filling his mind. Suddenly, he sat up and shook his head. "I can't stop thinking about her," he murmured to himself. Getting up to get a glass of water, he trotted off to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Inuyasha was about to drink his water; when all of a sudden, the phone rang. Thinking it was Kagome; he rushed to get the phone, almost tripping in the process. Finally, he picked up the phone with enthusiasm. "Hello?"
"Oh Inuyasha!" A high-pitched voice was heard. "Oh Inuyasha, I love you!"
Inuyasha knew immediately who it was and growled over the phone. "SHUT UP MIROKU! I SWEAR IF I WAS THERE RIGHT NOW I'D—"
"Whoa there buddy! No need for threats, I was only joking man. I mean, I didn't know you were so 'sensitive' about that my dear friend. I know how you're in love with her and everything but—"
"MONK! WHEN DID I EVER SAY THAT!"
"Oh please Inuyasha. It's so obvious by the way you stare at her and the way you blush every time she—"
Inuyasha turned red when Miroku kept talking and he knew it was true. But he wasn't about to admit it now; especially to a certain monk. "I DO NOT YOU STUPID MONK! That's how YOU are when SANGO is around!"
"Ah lovely Sango! She is the most beautiful woman in this worl—"
"Just shut up! Why'd you call me anyway? You're bothering me!"
Inuyasha heard a chuckle on the other end. "No need to be so rude Inuyasha. Anyways! The reason I was calling! You see there's this fair tonight… And I think we should ask the ladies if they'd like to join us tonight!"
Inuyasha fell silent. A fair? Wasn't Kagome talking about a fair a few days ago? Knowing his answer, he growled into the phone. "Keh, whatever."
Miroku, having known Inuyasha since many, many years, took it as a yes. "All right Inuyasha! I'll call the lovely Sango and you can call Lady Kags! Bye!"
Inuyasha hung up before the click was even heard. Call Kagome… Call Kagome… He headed back to his bedroom and sat on the bed. He was about to reach for the phone that was near when something stopped him from doing so.
His radio was on and a certain song caught his attention.
Wassup
How you doin'?
I've been seeing you from across the room
And you know, I just need your attention for a few minutes
Is that cool with you?
Yeah? 'ight
Check it
Listen
I can't wait to get to school each day
And wait for you to pass my way
And bell starts to ring
An angel starts to say, "hey that's the girl for you
So what are you gonna do"
Hey little girl
I love you so (whoa whoa)
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the lyrics.
All I do is think of you
Day and night (that's all I do)
I can't get you out my mind
Think about (all the time)
All the time
You won't believe, Inuyasha thought.
I begin to take the long way home
Just so I can be alone
To think of how to say
That my heart is here to stay
Hey I'm in love with you
I think the world of you
So won't you please, please be mine
I want…
All I do is think of you (baby)
Day and night (all the time every night and day)
I can't get you out my mind (my mind)
Think about (think about you all the time)
All the time
You know what girl?
I'm in love
I can say it, yeah I ain't scared I'm in love
People tell me I'm too young to be in love
I know what I'm feeling
And this is real
I don't know what it is
But I can't stop thinking about you
I think about you all the time
All I do is think of you (baby)
Day and night (day and night baby ohh)
I can't get you out my mind (I can't get you out, I don't want you out, I just want you in my life)
Think about
All I do is think of you (all I do is think, about you day and night I can't even sleep)
Day and night (without you in my life)
I can't get you out out my mind
Think about (all the time)
All the time
All I do is think of you
Morning when I rise, when I sleep at night
Day and night
I can't get you off my mind (I can't get you out… my mind)
All I do is think of you (ohhh)
Day and night
I can't get you out my mind (I don't want to)
Think about (everything in my life)
All the time
The song faded away and Inuyasha still sat on his bed, thinking. Wow… That's exactly how I felt during high school… And I still do… I can't get her out of my mind… Keh! I should just call her.
Inuyasha finally reached for his phone and slowly dialed her number she gave to him a while ago.
Ring
Ring
Ri—
"Hello?" A soft voice said.
"…H-Hey." Stop acting like an idiot! Inuyasha scolded himself.
"Hello? Who is this?" Kagome sounded confused because she didn't recognize the number on the caller id.
"It's me wench." Ah, whatever. Just act normal…
At the last word, Kagome smiled. "Oh, hi Inuyasha! Why are you calling?"
Inuyasha was about to cross his arms when he realized he was holding the phone. "Keh."
Kagome giggled at his attitude. "All right, all right. Well if there's nothing you need I kind of have to go Inuyasha… Maybe I'll see you later?"
"Wait, don't go!" Great, nice save. You know you really need to shut up. Keh, I AM you.
"Hm? What is it?"
Suddenly, Inuyasha looked down at his feet nervously. Why should I be nervous? I'm just asking her to go to the fair… With me… "Um do you… Do you wanna go to the fair? Tonight?"
Kagome paused. Then she giggled. "Are you asking me on a date Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha blushed, glad that no one was there to see it. "N-No wench… Like… Just to… Hang… Miroku is asking Sango too… So it'd be… Us four…"
He heard a soft sigh on the other end and wondered why.
"Sure Inuyasha. I'd love to go. But I have to go now… Sango and I are going to the mall. How about we meet you boys at the fair tonight around six?"
"Keh, whatever."
"Okay, bye Inuyasha." Then, she hung up.
Inuyasha didn't hang up until the annoying dial tone was heard. Why did she sound kind of disappointed? Did she… Wanted it to be like a date? But why would she want that? It's not like she likes me… More than as a… Friend… Pathetic hanyou… I'm lucky she even considers me a friend of hers. But that's one thing I love about her… She has the biggest and kindest heart in the world…
Shaking his head of his thoughts, he ran to his bathroom to get ready.
"So Inuyasha asked you too huh?" Sango asked her best friend. She and Kagome were walking around the mall. They've been there for a few hours and each held a few bags.
"Yeah… He sounded kind of… I don't know, like nervous or something. At first, that is. But yeah, he just asked if I wanted to go with him and… Miroku was asking you too. I told him we'd meet the boys at the fair around six." Kagome walked alongside her friend with her shopping bags.
"That's funny Kags because I told Miroku the same thing! That'd we would just meet the boys there at six!" Sango laughed at the irony. Kagome laughed too and replied, "Hey you know what they say… Great minds think alike!"
The two friends walked around some more before deciding to go back to their apartment to get ready. It was already 4:30.
At their apartment, they each showered and got dressed. At the mall, they had bought a new outfit just for that night.
Sango came out of her room in form-fitting denim shorts and a hot pink tube top. She wore a three quarters sleeve jean jacket over her tube top. She had on matching hot pink flip-flops and a hot pink belt. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with a ribbon and her makeup was matched with her outfit: Pink eye shadow, slight blush, and pink lip gloss. All in all, she looked cute and she knew it.
Sango grabbed her Louis Vuitton purse and waited on the couch for Kagome to come out.
A few minutes later, Kagome hurried out of her room and went to the living room to find Sango. She grabbed her Coach purse and met her friend on the couch.
Like Sango, Kagome was wearing form-fitting denim shorts but with a different design. The raven-haired beauty had a deep red halter-top that wrapped around her body in just the right way. She wore a midriff denim jacket over. Kagome also had on flip-flops and a belt that matched her halter. Her hair was let down and her makeup had the natural look with a light shade of lip gloss.
Sango and Kagome looked at each other and smiled, giving the other thumbs up. "You look so cute Kags!" Sango squealed. Kagome laughed and complimented her as well. "So do you! You look hot! Miroku will just DIE!"
Sango scowled and crossed her arms. "Hey I could say the same about Inuyasha! He'll probably end up staring at you all night. Poor kid won't be able to keep his eyes off of you." Sango pretended to feel pity by shaking her head side to side. Kagome blushed but had to giggle.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her head. "Hey Sango, where's Rin? I haven't seen her like all day…"
Sango's smile disappeared and a thoughtful expression came onto her face. "You know Kagome… I haven't seen her either… Maybe she left to go to her new job like really early… Hmm, I think I remember her telling me she was leaving at seven in the morning… But I can't really remember…"
Kagome frowned. "Should we try calling her? To tell her that we might not be home when she comes back… I want her to come with us though!"
Sango nodded. "Me too Kagome!"
Just then the phone rang. "You get the phone Kags and I'll call Rin!" Sango shouted.
Kagome hurried to get the phone as it continued to ring. Just before the fourth ring, she picked up the phone with a pant. "…Hello?"
"Wench."
Kagome rolled her eyes at the single "greeting". "Hello to you too Inuyasha."
On the other end, Inuyasha blushed and tried not to hit Miroku for making faces at him. "Listen, it's almost six. How about the stupid monk and I pick you girls up? Like in about ten minutes?"
"Aw, that's so sweet Inuyasha! Sure, you guys can come over anytime because we're ready."
Kagome could hear Miroku in the background but couldn't decipher what he was saying. It was mumbling to her.
"Awww you're so red Inuyasha! What's she saying to you?"
Inuyasha growled low and punched Miroku, knocking him unconscious.
Kagome heard a thump and got puzzled. "Um, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, yeah fine. We'll be there in less than five."
"All right. Bye, see you soon!"
Kagome hung up and shook her head. She headed over to Sango who looked annoyed at the phone. "Are you okay Sango?"
Sango pouted at her friend and shut her cell phone. "I've been trying to call Rin's cell phone forever! But she won't pick up… I left a message though and to call one of our cell phones back. What is up with that girl? Do you think it has something to do with Inuyasha's supposedly hot half-brother?"
Kagome heard the teasing in her voice and she laughed. "We won't know until she tells us Sango, so stop trying to guess. Anyways, that was Inuyasha who called and he said that they were picking us up in less than fiv—"
Ding Dong
Kagome jumped at the unexpected sound. "Oh! That must be them. Wow, that was really quick…"
Kagome and Sango grabbed their purses and hurried to answer the door. They opened the door to reveal the two awaiting guys.
Miroku was the first to speak. "My, my Lady Kagome! You look beautiful! And my lovely Sango! Might I say you look absolutely ravishing tonight! But of course you look beautiful everyday but—"
Sango rolled her eyes and walked out of the door. "Save it monk." She walked off and Miroku followed her like a puppy. "But my lovely—" His voice droned out as they walked further on.
Sango tried not to let a blush rise when she noticed Miroku's outfit. It was casual but it was perfect. He had on dark baggy jeans and a loose deep purple polo.
Kagome sweatdropped as their friends disappeared down the hall. She was trying to avoid eye contact with a certain hanyou but as she trailed her gaze upwards, she noticed the bright golden eyes staring right at her.
Both blushed and immediately turned their heads. Kagome could feel her heart thumping louder and felt the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Stupid, stupid stupid! You make it so obvious! Just… Calm down… Ah, but he looks so sexy in his outfit…
Inuyasha had his shiny silver hair down like usual but it seemed silkier than normal. There was also a dark red bandana on his head like always. Like Miroku he had on dark baggy jeans and also a polo that was a very dark shade of red. He had a silver chain around his neck that glistened in the hallway lights.
Kagome finally remembered to close the door behind her. As she was locking it, Inuyasha was trying to keep his demon blood in control.
Gah, why does she have to look so... So... Seductive... Damn, she's hot...
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, his mind screamed. Hell yeah.
When Kagome finally turned around she gave him a bright smile that just tempted him to just kiss her right there. It was very tempting, but he didn't want to risk anything and held his urges back. He smiled back at her and spoke up. "Uh… You look… You look really nice… I mean hot! No, I mean pretty! Uh… Um… I mean…" He stuttered. SHIT! Look what you did now baka!
Kagome blushed a deep red at Inuyasha's outbursts. But she let out a small giggle at the expression on his face. He looked strained but had a cute pout he probably didn't even know he had.
Inuyasha lifted his head when he heard her giggle and he blushed as well. He crossed his arms and tried not to show his embarrassment. "Keh, what are you giggling about wench?"
Kagome continued to giggle and started to walk down the hall only to have Inuyasha hurry after her. He slowed down his pace right beside her and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
They walked alongside each other in comfortable silence. Then, Inuyasha spoke up. "So…"
Kagome tilted her head at him. "So…?"
Suddenly, he smirked. "Aren't you gonna admit you were ogling at me earlier?"
His words processed through to her and she blushed a beet red. "I was NOT ogling! You are so full of yourself Inuyasha!" She pretended to be angry and walked a little bit faster. Inuyasha almost laughed. He knew she was only joking. He loved it when she was mad though. She looked so cute with a pout on her face.
They finally got to the car and Kagome didn't see Sango or Miroku anywhere. "Inuyasha? Where are Sango and Miroku?"
"Oh that… Miroku and I came in different cars. He drove his and I drove mine. We just kinda left out own apartments and decided to pick you girls up so yeah… They must have left already…"
Wow, so much for hanging out with the four of us, Kagome thought. But why am I complaining? I get to be with Inuyasha for the whole night! She felt giddy as she slid into Inuyasha's car.
It was a convertible and the top was open because the night was the perfect weather. It wasn't hot or cold and the breeze as they drove by felt like heaven. Kagome enjoyed watching the scenery pass by.
Inuyasha was trying to concentrate on the road but couldn't help but to take quick glances to his right at the one he loved. He loved how her hair was blowing in the wind and it made her look even more enticing than she already was. The calm expression on her face gave him tranquility also and he focused his attention more on the road.
Not a moment later, Inuyasha heard soft humming coming from the girl next to him. He wasn't sure what she was humming but it sounded angelic in his ears. He smirked. "Care to sing louder wench? I can't hear you."
Kagome yelped and looked to her left surprised. "I didn't know you could hear me at all! I'm sorry I probably sound horrible!"
Inuyasha shook his head. "No it wasn't horrible… I liked it…" Then he reached over and turned on the radio. He was surprised when the same song from earlier that morning was playing again.
You know what girl?
I'm in love
I can say it, yeah I ain't scared I'm in love
People tell me I'm too young to be in love
I know what I'm feeling
And this is real
I don't know what it is
But I can't stop thinking about you
I think about you all the time
All I do is think of you (baby)
Day and night (day and night baby ohh)
I can't get you out my mind (I can't get you out, I don't want you out, I just want you in my life)
Think about
All I do is think of you (all I do is think, about you day and night I can't even sleep)
Day and night (without you in my life)
I can't get you out out my mind
Think about (all the time)
All the time
Inuyasha started to feel nervous. Why did this song have to come on now!
Kagome listened to the song. When it was over, she commented, "I liked that song. It was very cute."
"Keh."
Kagome rolled her eyes at his usual response to everything.
They spent the next fifteen minutes just listening to the radio before finally arriving at the fair. When they were in line for tickets, Kagome's cell phone rang. It was Sango. "Hey Kags are you and Inuyasha here yet?"
"Yeah Sango we're in line right now for tickets. When did you get here?"
"Miroku and I got here like half an hour ago! What were you guys doi—"
SLAP
"PERVERT!"
Kagome sweatdropped at her friend's misfortune. "Anyways I gotta go. I have to make sure the stupid pervert doesn't get too close to me. See you later Kagome!" She hung up as soon as the last word left her.
Kagome turned her head towards Inuyasha and opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Inuyasha. "I heard everything wench. That monk will die one day from all those slaps Sango gives him. I don't get how he can stand it so often…"
Kagome giggled. "It's so obvious they like each other Inuyasha. Can't you tell?" Before giving him a chance to answer her, Kagome hurried towards the front of the line because it moved much quicker.
"H-Hey!" Inuyasha shouted after her, running.
Inuyasha and Kagome were finally at the ticket booth. Before Kagome had a chance to ask for a ticket, Inuyasha beat her to it and spoke into the small communicator mike. "Two tickets," he simply stated.
Kagome looked bewildered at him and titled her head to the side.
Inuyasha handed in a twenty and received the two tickets. He walked on ahead but stopped and looked back at Kagome, who still stood there. "Aren't you coming wench?" He smirked and turned around to walk off again.
Kagome returned from her dazed world and hurried to catch up to Inuyasha. When she got to him, she had to question, "Why did you do that Inuyasha?"
He didn't even turn to look at her, but kept walking. "Do what?"
Kagome tried to catch up with Inuyasha's rather quick pace and answered, "Why did you pay for my ticket?"
Inuyasha sighed, exasperated. "You talk too much wench."
"I do not! And besides, I'm only asking one simple question. You didn't have to buy me a ticket Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha finally stopped and turned around to face the red-faced girl. He avoided eye contact with her and kind of looked around. "Is it that hard to believe for me to do something nice? Do you have to ask for a reason? Maybe I just… Wanted to. Keh, but here's your ticket anyway." Inuyasha scowled and held out a ticket for her.
Kagome, still surprised, timidly reached out and took the ticket. As soon as she did however, Inuyasha started to briskly walk away again. Kagome shook out of her state and ran after the hanyou. "Inuyasha, wait!" She caught up him again and held onto his arm so he wouldn't walk off again.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha… I didn't mean to hurt you or anything… I guess I was just kind of… Surprised a bit… But it was really sweet of you though… So, thanks." She reached up to his face and kissed him on the cheek. Inuyasha turned a bright red and faced away from her. "Keh, whatever wench. Let's just go." And so the two walked next to each other to wherever their feet took them.
About half an hour later, Inuyasha and Kagome spotted Sango and Miroku near a big crowd. They passed through the crowd and reached their friends. "Sango, Miroku!" Kagome shouted.
Sango and Miroku turned at the sound of their names being called and saw Kagome and Inuyasha coming towards them. Then, Sango got an idea.
"Hey Kags! It took you two a while to get here huh?" Without waiting for a reply, Sango grabbed onto Kagome's arm and dragged her elsewhere where the boys wouldn't be able to hear them.
"Huh, what's wrong Sango?"
Sango gave her friend a big smile. "Nothing's wrong Kagome! But I have an idea! Do you know why there's a big crowd right here?"
Kagome looked puzzled for a second before looking around her. "Oh, this is the stage where people… Sing…" She slowly started to catch onto what her friend was trying to get at.
Sango's grin widened as Kagome started to shake her head no. "Come on Kags! It'll be fun! You have such a beautiful voice! I'm sure Inuyasha would LOVE to hear you sing! Please? Pretty please? For me? If not, then for Inuyasha!"
Kagome sweatdropped. "Sango… I don't know… I'm not that great…"
"Come on Kagome! Just do it and let the audience decide if you're good or not. But personally, I think you're GREAT! Please, please please!"
Kagome groaned at her begging friend. She just couldn't say no to that face. Agh, the pout got me again!
Sango laughed in giddy when she saw Kagome slightly nod her head. She grabbed the raven-haired girl's hand and led her to where the stage was.
"Hey uh… Where are the girls?" Inuyasha asked his friend.
Miroku had a knowing look on his face and pretended he didn't know anything. "I think I heard Sango say something about hearing someone sing on stage. Come on Inuyasha, let's go check it out."
Inuyasha looked doubtful but crossed his arms with a scowl on his face anyway. "Keh, fine, let's go." He wondered where Kagome was but didn't ponder on it as Miroku hurried through the crowd.
I appreciate everyone who reviewed! And I'm so glad so many people like my story! Sorry I take such a long time updating!
So until the next time! RR please!
