Mixed Emotions [Four] - Inuyasha's secret
Part 1- Inuyasha and Kagome - A short discussion
-Ayame, Kouga, Miroku and Sango spying-
"You?"
"Yep. That was me."
"How?" Inuyasha crept in the grassy part of the school yard and motioned Kagome to follow him. Once safely concealed, he sat on the grass and cleared his throat.
"Can I trust you to keep a very important secret? I only met you last week, and I don't know if I can trust you," he asked her. She nodded with a trusting smile and said, "Sure. You can trust me."
"Okay. You see, I...I'm a...a demon," he stammered. "...No one else knows that I'm a demon. You see..." Inuyasha fixed his hair a bit, and two, white, dog-ears popped out. Kagome almost jumped at the sight, but had the urge to tweak his ears. Her hands reached out for them, then, she felt the furry, white ears. Tweak tweak...Inuyasha grabbed her hand and pulled it away from his ears.
"But their so...furry...and white..." Kagome commented, with a puppy look on her face.
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone about it. Now, back to my story. When I was twelve, my mother told me that I was a demon, like my father and brother. That's when I noticed the puppy ears on my head. It was so annoying when she kept touching it, but it felt nice. Anyways, once a month during a new moon, I turn into a human. You know...black hair, purple eyes. You get the picture."
"It was a new moon last saturday..." Kagome mumbled. "That's why it was you who woke me up at the park?"
"That's correct." Kagome blushed.
"How come you were way nicer than you are now when you're a human?"
"Well, it's obvious. When I'm a human, I have a human heart. When I'm a demon, I've got a demon heart. Got it?"
"Um...Yeah." There was a long silence. The two fifteen year olds glanced at each other in the eye, no shame whatsoever. Then the silence was broken when Inuyasha finally spoke.
"Wanna know something?" he asked, unable to take his eyes off Kagome.
"Uh...sure..." Kagome replied with hesitation. She didn't know what Inuyasha was up to...neither would she want to know.
"I think...you're pretty...but you're prettier when you're mad," he said, blushing and laughing nervously. Kagome blushed at the same time. "Wait...I wasn't suppose to say that."
"Really? Um...even if you didn't mean to say it, thanks." What these two teens didn't know was that their friends have been watching all along. Kouga and Ayame hid up on the trees, while Sango and Miroku hid in the bushes just behind the two.
"I guess...they really came through now..." Sango whispered to the 18 year old. "I mean, he did say that she was pretty."
"Another form of flirting," Miroku answered. "At least now he's a bit nicer than he was before. I mean, he was like what Kouga was when he first came here." Sango nodded and continued to watch the two.
Kagome lay on the grass, sighing. Inuyasha watched her, admiring her astounding beauty. The smile on her face definitely brightens up the day. Now it was night, and the moon was out. Kagome gasped, and looked at her wristwatch.
"Oh my! It's really late now! My mother is going to be worried sick!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, Inuyasha. But I have to go. It's way past 6:00! See ya tomorrow in school!" She hugged with tightly. "Thanks for being nice today...and telling me your secret. You're my friend now, okay? You can trust me with anything." And with that, Kagome zoomed off to her house near Sunset Shrine, leaving Inuyasha blushing so furiously.
Inuyasha stood still on his spot as he gazed at Kagome until she disappeared. He could still feel and smell her scent as if she was still there. His face remained red for a long time. Kssh Kssh. He heard noises from the bushes and trees around him. Turning around, he readied himself just incase it was an animal or someone who was hunting him down. But soon he realized that it was only his nosy friends, spying on him and Kagome again. he balled his fist and screamed, "WHY THE HELL DO YOU DO THIS?!" Miroku and Sango emerged from behind, and Kouga and Ayame jumped off the trees. All four of them were quite flustered at what they heard.
"Sorry, Inuyasha, but it gets very amusing watching you two go all lovey- dovey," Sango giggled. "I mean, you look good together."
"And you two make such a great couple," Ayame added. Miroku and Kouga agreed to that statement. Inuyasha's stomach flipped as his friends' comments. He gulped. What should he do now?
"Um...okay. So what if I like her? She is pretty," Inuyasha said with no hesitation.
"Oooh..." Kouga teased. "Now they like each other."
"Riiiight..." Miroku added. "You see, Kagome likes you very much."
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, blushing even more. "What are you babbling about?! She doesn't like me like that! How would you know anyway?"
"Hey, we're her friends too, not only you, mister. And she always talks about 'how cute you are'," Ayame mumbled, then laughed. "Why do you think she would hug you like that?"
"W-well...I don't know...-" responded Inuyasha, unable to explain anything. He hasn't felt something like this before. He felt...special.
"That proves that she really likes you," Sango said.
"Go for her, dude," Kouga cheered. "You'll just have to believe us...or rather, Sango and Ayame 'cuz they've been friends with our Kagome since she was twelve."
"Yeah, you have to. Since you like each other, maybe...you guys can start going out or something," Ayame suggested. "Oh, and by the way, you have to hurry. That Hojo-guy-friend-of-yours? He's after Kagome. He asked her plenty of times already. She did go out with him...but only once. So, she's up for grabs."
"That's right. You better be careful," Sango warned. "He can take her away anyday. If he does, you just lost someone. So, just get her for yourself before she is erased from your life." Inuyasha gulped and sweatdropped.
"Fine, I'll try to ask her out. I doubt she'll say yes," Inuyasha replied with a second thought. "....or maybe not."
"Come on. It'll be a breeze. She'll totally want to go out with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," answered Miroku. "She fell head over heels for you...since the first time she laid eyes on you." He winked at the dog demon and gave him a thumb's up. "Do it tomorrow." Inuyasha uickly agreed and went back to his own house. Miroku, Sango, Ayame and Kouga stood back in the school yard proudly. Now, the real fun begins...

Mixed Emotions [Four] - Inuyasha's Secret
Part 2 - Inuyasha - She's way ahead of you!
Sidelines - Miroku, Sango, Ayame and Kouga
Inuyasha lay on his bed by the window and balcony. The evening breeze entered the room so silently that it made the fifteen year old shiver. He had been thinking of what Miroku and the others had said just a few hours ago. It was so...strange. How could someone that he had arguements with like him so much?
-flashback: A few hours ago-
"Oooh..." Kouga teased. "Now they like each other."
"Riiiight..." Miroku added. "You see, Kagome likes you very much."
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, blushing even more. "What are you babbling about?! She doesn't like me like that! How would you know anyway?"
"Hey, we're her friends too, not only you, mister. And she always talks about 'how cute you are'," Ayame mumbled, then laughed. "Why do you think she would hug you like that?"
"W-well...I don't know...-" responded Inuyasha, unable to explain anything. He hasn't felt something like this before. He felt...special.
"That proves that she really likes you," Sango said.
"Go for her, dude," Kouga cheered. "You'll just have to believe us...or rather, Sango and Ayame 'cuz they've been friends with our Kagome since she was twelve."
"Yeah, you have to. Since you like each other, maybe...you guys can start going out or something," Ayame suggested. "Oh, and by the way, you have to hurry. That Hojo-guy-friend-of-yours? He's after Kagome. He asked her plenty of times already. She did go out with him...but only once. So, she's up for grabs."

"Come on. It'll be a breeze. She'll totally want to go out with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," answered Miroku. "She fell head over heels for you...since the first time she laid eyes on you." He winked at the dog demon and gave him a thumb's up. "Do it tomorrow."
-end of flashback-
All of a sudden, his thoughts had been interrupted by a soft knock on the door. The door creaked open and his mother, Izayoi, appeared. She wore a red night dress. It was nearly 10:00 at that time.
"You are still awake, Inuyasha?" she asked. "Something on your mind?"
"Oh, it's nothing, mother, " he simply replied. "Nothing, really."
"Alright. As long as you're happy, I am happy, okay?" Izayoi walked towards her son and gave him a goodnight hug. "Sleep well, my son." Inuyasha nodded and his mother left the room. He sighed in defeat. Does Kagome really like him? What is the truth? Are Miroku and the others telling the truth?
-flashback: A few hours ago-
"Wanna know something?" he asked, unable to take his eyes off Kagome.
"Uh...sure..." Kagome replied with hesitation. She didn't know what Inuyasha was up to...neither would she want to know.
"I think...you're pretty...but you're prettier when you're mad," he said, blushing and laughing nervously. Kagome blushed at the same time. "Wait...I wasn't suppose to say that."
Kagome lay on the grass, sighing. Inuyasha watched her, admiring her astounding beauty. The smile on her face definitely brightens up the day. Now it was night, and the moon was out. Kagome gasped, and looked at her wristwatch.
"Oh my! It's really late now! My mother is going to be worried sick!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, Inuyasha. But I have to go. It's way past 6:00! See ya tomorrow in school!" She hugged with tightly. "Thanks for being nice today...and telling me your secret. You're my friend now, okay? You can trust me with anything." And with that, Kagome zoomed off to her house near Sunset Shrine, leaving Inuyasha blushing so furiously.
Inuyasha stood still on his spot as he gazed at Kagome until she disappeared. He could still feel and smell her scent as if she was still there. His face remained red for a long time.
-end of flashback-
"Ah...well, I guess I'll just have to find out soon enough," Inuyasha grumbled, covering himself with his blanket and finally going to sleep.
Kagome lay motionless on her bed, with Buyo sleeping on her side. With her hand on his head, she began thinking about what she had heard and done a couple of hours ago. She didn't mean to do them, yet she did.
-flashback: 6:00PM-
"Oh my! It's really late now! My mother is going to be worried sick!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, Inuyasha. But I have to go. It's way past 6:00! See ya tomorrow in school!" She hugged with tightly. "Thanks for being nice today...and telling me your secret. You're my friend now, okay? You can trust me with anything." And with that, Kagome zoomed off to her house near Sunset Shrine, leaving Inuyasha blushing so furiously.
-end of flashback-
"I...I like him so much," she mumbled to herself. She turned off her table light and let the moonlight shine in her room. Kagome stared at the ceiling, unable to take the silver-haired boy out of her system. "What is it that I like about him, again?"
"His eyes, of course. Those golden irises that glow in the sunshine. Not only that, his silvery hair glimmers too. He's gorgeous. Although it was a little weird, he was handsome to my eyes. His fair complexion made him even more handsome. Now, he's a bit nice, but I know that there's still something in him that's cold and mean. But I guess he's really nice when he becomes a human. I mean, his demon heart is way different from his demon heart..." Kagome thought. Suddenly, the phone rang. That's right. Her mother had just had a phone connected in Kagome's room. Hastily, she picked it up. It was Sango.
"Hey, Kagome!" her friend greeted. "I sure hope that I didn't wake you up."
"Oh, no you didn't," Kagome replied. "May I ask your purpose of calling?"
"Nothing, really. Ayame and I just wanted you to know that the student council is holding a dance two weeks from now. They would only allow couples...as usual. So, wanna go?"
"I dunno, Sango. I don't know who I can go with..."
"You can invite Inuyasha and you two can go as friends, although people will think that you're a couple." Kagome's head was clouded with thoughts about Inuyasha.
"Umm...maybe I'll ask him tomorrow."
"That's a brilliant idea. Well, see you tomorrow!"
"Yep. See ya. Bye." Kagome slowly placed that phone back down, and headed towards her bed. It was getting really late, and she needed sleep. Before she knew it, she fell into a really, deep sleep.
-------------------------------------
The next day began so early and quickly. Kagome hopped off her bed and rushed to the bathroom by 6:50AM. Afterwards, she got dressed for school and ran down the stair so fast that she nearly slid down.
"Slowdown, Kagome!" her mother said with such worry. Kagome came to a stop by the dinner table. Her breakfast was already prepared for her. Sitting down, she picked her chopstick up and began eating slowly. "Why are you in a hurry today, Kagome?"
"I don't know, Mom. I just...don't know..." Kagome's mom just nodded. Kagome finished her breakfast in no time and was ready to go to school. "I'm going to school now, Mom. See ya later. Love ya." Wiht a quick hug, Kagome sprinted to school.
7:15 - Kagome and Inuyasha's Highschool
"So, have you decided Inuyasha?" asked Kouga.
"Hmm-mm."
"By the way, I heard that the student council is holding a dance two weeks from now. They said that only couples are allowed in it...as usual," said Sango. "Aren't you all just excited?"
"Yep, especially when I'm goin' with mah special gal," answered Kouga, wrapping his left arm around Ayame's waist. They all laughed. Not long after, the figure of their friend appeared in the distance. "There's our Kagome. My, my, she's early today."
"Must be excited. We told her about the dance next week last night," Sango muttered, then she called out to Kagome while waving. "HEY KAGOME!!!" The fifteen year old waved back at her friend, panting from all the running that she did. At last, she arrived, almost out of energy that her knees gave away. Luckily, Inuyasha caught her just in time. Uh oh. This was too close. Just too close. The other four friends just watched in amazement that neither one of the fifteen year olds blushed.
"Thanks, Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled, smiling as she got to her feet. "Hey you guys. What's up?"
"Umm, I think you guys are a little too close," Miroku commented. "Don't you think you should...er...separate?" Inuyasha took his hands off Kagome, but she just stood still there.
"Sorry about that," she said, scraching the back of her head. "I didn't mean to fall." Inuyasha nodded. "So, you guys are going to the dance two weeks from now?"
"Yup," Miroku said. "I'm going with Sango. Kouga's going with Ayame. Who do you plan on going with?" Kagome grinned brightly.
"Inuyasha, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," answered Inuyasha. So, Kagome pulled him away from the others and whispered in his ear.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes?"
"Can you come with me to the dance?"
"Eh???"
"I said, can you come with me to the dance?"
"I guess...we can go as friends."
"Exactly. Thanks a lot, Inuyasha!" Kagome, once more, grinned broadly when they returned to the others. "I'm going to the dance with Inuyasha."
"Are you sure?" Ayame asked.
"Uh-huh."
"It's decided then," Kouga said. "We'll all meet there with our dates in the next two weeks. Hope to all see you there."
"Umm...okay..." Inuyasha answered. "See you then." The school bell rang. Before they left, Miroku whispered in Inuyasha's ear, "She's way ahead of ya!" Then, he, Sango, Kouga and Ayame all headed to their respective classrooms, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome to deal with their classes.
"Did they say, 'we'll all meet our dates'? Kagome asked Inuyasha. The demon's jaws dropped. He had the same expression Kagome has.
"I...I think so..." They both glanced at each other with nervousness.
"But, we'll still go as friends, right? Just friends."
"Uh-huh...That's right. Just friends." They kept mumbling 'just friends' on their way to their first class that morning.
