Chapter 18: The Date
-------With Kagome and Sango--
It was Saturday the day of Inuyasha and Kagomes date. Kagome had asked Sango to come over early to help her pick out something to wear, because even though she is always with Inuyasha during the week she didn't know what to wear on their fist date. Even though Kagome is a mother and has a job does not mean that she knows everything, I mean she is only 19 (I had to add that because it is the truth).
"Sango, I still can't find anything to wear." Kagome yelled in her room
" Kagome how can you not find anything to wear, you have five outfits that you said you narrowed it down too so just pick one of the five." Sango said as she walked into Kagomes room carrying a can of Coke in her left hand.
" I can't " Kagome said in a huff
"Want me to pick it for you" Sango asked
"Yes..wait....no...I mean I don't know" Kagome said as Sango walked over to where Kagome had set out the five outfits on her bed, looking them over Sango automatically picked the perfect outfit for Kagome to wear.
"Wear this one" Sango said as she grabbed the outfit off the bed and shoved it into Kagomes arms.
"But.." Kagome started but Sango interrupted her
"No buts now go and change" Sango said as she pushed Kagome into the bathroom and shut the door before she could protest. Sighing Sango turned around to find Sakura right next to her.
"Auntie Sango I'm hungry." Sakura wined. Sango smiled at Sakura, she had called her auntie ever since she was little because she was always baby sitting her.
"Ok well lets go fix you something to eat then" Sango said warmly
"Ok" Sakura said as she rushed out of the room. Glancing at the clock, which said 5:45, Sango said
"Kagome, It's 5:45 you have 15 minutes till Inuyasha is supposed to pick you up, you'd better hurry" as she left the room to go downstairs to fix Sakura something to eat.
--------------
Kagome exited that bathroom 10 minutes later. Sango had picked out a red skirt that went about 3 inches above her knees and it had a silver chain going from her left hip to her right, she wore a red shirt with dark blue three-quarter sleeves and a silver heart in the middle, and sliver and black sandals with a 1 1/2 inch heel. Kagome decided to keep her hair down, but she did put on a little bit of light red eyeshadow and clear lip gloss.
Looking in her mirror once again Kagome decided that she looked ok so he headed downstairs to find Sango and Sakura. Kagome found them both in the dinning room, Sango was listening to Sakura talk about how she accidentally spilled a jar of pink paint all over a boy in her class when they were doing their finger paintings.
"Hey" Kagome said as she entered the dinning room.
"That looks nice Kagome." Sango said
"Yea I like it thanks for picking it out for me" Kagome said to Sango
"Ahh it was no problem..so where are you and Inuyasha gonna go?" Sango asked
"I think we are going to go see a movie then go out to dinner." Kagome said
"Ok" said Sango..Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Thats probably Inuyasha" Kagome said as she went to answer the door. When she opened the door there was Inuyasha standing there with a red rose in his hand, he looked up and smiled.
"You look beautiful Kagome and This"he said as he handed the rose to Kagome "is for you"
"Thank you it's beautiful" said Kagome as she smelled the rose "here you can come in while I go put this in water and get my coat." said Kagome as she stepped inside with Inuyasha.
Kagome hurriedly went and put the flower in a little container filled with water, and Sango watched amused from the dinning room as Kagome fumbled to set the container down without spilling any of the water. Finally once she manged that she headed to the dinning room to say good bye to Sakura.
"Bye Sakura now be good for Sango ok." Kagome said
"Ok..but I am always good." Sakura said
"Ok then" Kagome said as she kissed her daughter good bye and grabbed her coat and purse.
"Ready?" asked Inuyasha who was waiting by the door.
"Yep" said Kagome as she and Inuyasha walked out the door. Walking to the car Inuyasha quickly went over and opened Kagomes door for her to get in and shut it behind her. Once Inuyasha was in the car Kagome asked
"So where are we gonna go first"
"Hmmm..I was thinking we go see a movie first and then go out to eat" Inuyasha said as he drove away from Kagomes house.
"Ok" said Kagome. The rest of the ride to the movie theater was pretty silent, neither Kagome nor Inuyasha knew anything to say. Once they got to the theater they looked to see what movies were playing.
"So what movie do you want to see" Inuyasha asked Kagome
"How about The Grudge?" Kagome asked
"Are you sure you want to see that, it's supposed to be scary." Inuyasha said
"Humph scary movies don't scare me" Kagome said confidently
"Ok" said Inuyasha as he gave Kagome a quick skeptical glance and bought two tickets to The Grudge. Once Inuyasha had bought the tickets Inuyasha and Kagome went and bought one large popcorn and two drinks then they headed to the movie.
The beginning of the movie was fine but then when it hit about 25 minutes into the movie Kagome was already clinging to Inuyasha. Inuyasha had put up the arm-rest and put his arm around Kagomes waist to bring her closer to him when she first started to cling to his arm, so now she was clinging to his shirt and every time a part that scared her would come on she would bury her face in Inuyashas shirt, thought Inuyasha did not mind this at all, he liked having Kagome so close to him.
After the movie Kagome and Inuyasha had exited the movie theater and headed to the car, though Kagome was still a little freaked out about the movie.
"I thought you said that scary movies didn't scare you?" Inuyasha said to Kagome
"I wasn't scared" Kagome defended
"So then why were you clinging to may arm then?" Inuyasha asked as he tried to control a laugh he was holding back as Kagome defended herself.
"ok maybe I was a little bit scared.." Kagome said
"a little bit?" Inuyasha said
"yea a little bit" Kagome defended
"ok whatever you say Kagome" Inuyasha said as he pulled up to the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't that fancy and Kagome was glad about that because she hated fancy restaurants. Then the waitress came and seated them.
Once Inuyasha and Kagome were seated they talked a little bit about the movie and Sakura. Halfway through the meal Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore he had to ask Kagome why she was upset before and what was wrong, because he wanted Kagome to be happy and she wasn't happy before.
"Hey Kagome, can I ask you something, but I want you to tell me the truth ok?" Inuyasha asked
"sure" Kagome said slightly confused
"ok...here it goes" Inuyasha said as he took a deep breath " How come you were upset all this week you seemed like you were upset and had a lot on your mind.Why were you upset?" Inuyasha asked
Kagome just looked down at the table for a second before answering.
"I wasn't going to tell you yet but....Sunday night when I got home I got a phone call, it was from Naraku Shaza who is a leading business man in America who runs many companies. Well he told me that I would get my fathers company taken away from me if I did not attend a string of conferences that are going to be held in America, the bad part about that is that they will last about a month and I can't bring anyone with me and that includes Sakura, and even if I did I wouldn't have anyone to watch her while I was away.So I have to leaveat the end of next week to go to America for a month." Kagome said sadly
Inuyasha was shocked he didn't expect to hear that or for it to be that easy for him to find out what was wrong with her. Once everythingKagome had saidsunk in Inuyasha could not believe it.
"So thats why you have been upset since Monday?" Inuyasha asked
"Yes" Kagome said sadly
"Kagome, I know you have to go and when you do I'll watch Sakura the whole time your gone we have an extra room in our house and I know for a fact that Rin would love to have Sakura over." Inuyasha said softly
"I knew you would say that, but you don't have to" Kagome said not meeting Inuyashas gaze
"I know Kagome but I want to" Inuyasha said
"ok...." Kagome said " I don't want to go though, I don't want to leave Sakura and....you" Kagome said
"I know Kagome but you have to, and I promise me and Sakura will be right here when you get back waiting for you" Inuyasha said trying to cheer Kagome up, he didn't want her to go either but it seemed like she didn't have much of a choice.
"thank you Inuyasha, I don't know how but somehow you made me feel better about going" Kagome said as she looked up at Inuyasha smiling.
"Your welcome and I think this would be a good time to give you your present." Inuyasha said as he pulled out a square box form his pocket and handed it to Kagome.
Kagome took it in he hands and opened it slowly, Kagome gasped at what was inside. Inside the box was a beautiful silver heartlocket with her name etched on the front in gold lettering, it also had a pair of jade earrings next to it. Kagome opened the locket and inside was a picture of her, Sakura, and Inuyasha, Kagome remembered taking the picture about two and a half weeks after they had started dating.
"So do you like it?" Inuyasha asked
"Of course I do. I love it!" Kagome said as she got up and hugged Inuyasha and he hugged her back.
"I thought you would" said Inuyasha as he watched Kagome go back to her seat and admire the necklace some more. Inuyasha then got up and took the necklace and put it on Kagome.
"Thank you Inuyasha" Kagome said as she looked at the necklace again.
"Your welcome" Inuyasha said he kissed her before sitting back down. After they finished their meal Inuyasha and Kagome headed back to her house, Inuyasha got out of the car and walked Kagome to the door. "So did you have a good time?" Inuyasha asked
"Of course I did" Kagome said
"Good" Inuyasha said as he captured Kagomes lips and kissed her. A little bit laterInuyasha and Kagome broke the kiss.
"Well I'd better get going" Inuyasha said
"Yea, I'll see you later" said Kagome as she kissed Inuyasha once again and opened her door and shut it behind her.
