Re-Cap:
(Sango and Kagome are in the kitchen talking about Inuyasha...)
"Dog demons, they...are kinda like wolf demons. They only have one mate in life, and the stay with them until they die. It's usually a love-at-first-sight kinda thing with them, and Inuyasha has fallen quite hard for you. While you were sleeping he told me about how he would have died to save you from Kouga, and how stupid he was for bringing you into danger back there. He said he would have killed himself had you died, once he killed Kouga of course." Sango told her seriously. "They..uh...also...well..." Sango rubbed the back on her neck and looked away from Kagome.
Kagome absorbed this information, and couldn't believe it. "Y-you mean...h-he...he likes me?" Kagome noticed Sango was reluctant to tell her something. "Sango, what aren't you telling me?"
Trust
Chapter 4 - The Movies
"Well, uh...um...heh...you see...well...ok. I'll tell you. But you have to tell me something first!"
"Yeah..." Kagome said, waiting.
."Do you like him?"
.:.With the guys.:.
"You like Kagome, don't you?" Miroku sprung the question out of nowhere on Inuyasha. Inuyasha opened his mouth to reply, but Miroku silenced him by putting a hand infront of Inuyasha's face. "It's kinda obvious." he told the stunned hanyou. "And I have a feeling she likes you back. She may even trust you, and thats saying something. She hasn't trusted anyone outside my family except Sango since the incident. I just have one thing to say to you." Miroku paused, to make sure Inuyasha was still with him.
"If you harm her, or force her to do something she does not want, I will kill you."
.:.With the girls.:.
Kagome hesitated. She liked him, a lot, but was trying not to. She had nothing against Inuyasha, it was just that...
"I do." she admitted, but quickly added "but I don't know. I guess I don't want another Kouga episode happening. Sango patted her on the back.
"Hes not like that, trust me."
Kagome nodded. "Now what were you saying?"
.:.With the guys.:.
Inuyasha stared Miroku in the eyes. Although he seriously doubted Miroku could kill a hanyou, he didn't doubt that if Miroku was enraged, especially over his best friend Kagome (who he seemed quite protective of), he knew that it could be possible he would kill him. Sango would probably help too, for that matter.
"I would never harm Kagome, if I could help it. You have my word on it, Miroku." he told his friend seriously.
.:.With the Girls.:.
Sango took a deep breath. "Ok, you already know that since dog demons are like wolf demons they get very protective of their mates, are just as fast, aggressive, have tempers that are just as quick, and are just as strong." Sango rushed out.
"Yeah..." Kagome dragged the word out, waiting.
"They, um, also mark their mates in the same way." Sango said quickly.
.:.With the Guys.:.
Inuyasha suddenly sat bolt upright. He sniffed the air again to be sure. Inuyasha bolted for the kitchen door, smelling Kagome's fear and distress. He pulled open the door to see Kagome look at him with fear in her eyes and Sango looking a bit guilty.
"What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, looking hurt. He hated the way Kagome was looking at him right now, completely hated it. He frowned, and Kagome stood up from the kitchen table. Inuyasha made a move towards her, but she merely hid behind Sango, he hand rubbing the lines on the right side of her neck.
Inuyasha's eyes widened as he realized what Sango must have told her. He got a hurt expression at the thought that Kagome wouldn't want him. Wait...wouldn't WANT him? what am I thinking? Its not as though I like her or anything...DUH! You practically admitted it to Miroku, and DID admit it to Sango!(Chapter 2) You like her! Face it!
Miroku stood behind Kagome now and offered to take her back to her room. It was about 12:30 a.m by now, and Kagome mumbled something about getting dressed. They quickly exited the room, leaving Sango and Inuyasha alone.
"So you told her eh?" Inuyasha said, a little bitter.
"She had a right too know! She likes you back but doesn't want something to happen again like it did with Kouga!" Sango blurted out before she could stop herself.
"I would never hurt her! You know that!" Inuyasha defended.
"I know that, but Kagome doesn't. And Kagome's the one who needs to know." Sango told him quietly.
Inuyasha sighed. He knew Sango was right, and he would have to let Kagome know that he wouldn't harm her; that she was safe with him. He just hoped that Kagome would be as understanding as Sango.
Miroku came back from bringing Kagome upstairs. He slipped behind Sango and there was a cry of "HENTAI!" and a loud SMACK! as Inuyasha left the room. He smiled. Would Miroku ever learn?
Probably not. Inuyasha sat down on the couch back in the living room, and watched as a fuming Sango went upstairs. Hearing no movement in the kitchen, Inuyasha went to investigate. Sure enough, Miroku was unconcious on the kitchen floor. Inuyasha just shook his head before picking the poor guy up and bringing him to his room.
After Inuyasha had put the unconcious Miroku on his bed, he headed toward the first guest room. It was right across from Kagomes room, and inbetween Miroku's room and the stairs. He lied down on the bed and was thinking about a nap when his sensitive dog ears heard Kagome's voice. Quietly, he creeped out of his room and pressed an ear to Kagome's door.
"He says he'd never hurt you Kagome. I believe him." That was Sango.
"He may SAY it, but so did Kouga! And look what happened! I just..."
"Yes?" persisted Sango.
"I just, arg. It's hard to explain." Kagome sighed.
"Let me guess, your falling for him but are trying not to so you don't get hurt again, right?"
Inuyasha heard nothing, but guessed that Kagome had nodded once Sango continued.
"You shouldn't let that prick ruin your life Kagome. Come on! Inuyasha's so smitten with you, I'd be surprised if he isn't dreaming about right now while he's napping!"
"Really?" Kagome sounded surprised.
Inuyasha could almost hear Sango's eyebrow raise. Kagome chuckled.
"I guess your right. At least I KNOW the guy who I like likes me back this time, I mean, arg, its so annoying having crushes that will never turn out cause you don't know if the guy likes you back!"
Sango laughed. "We should set up a double date!"
"Yeah! But what would I wear?"
Inuyasha went back to his room as the girls started discussing different things they could wear and what brand of make-up they liked best. He flopped onto his bed and then remembered something he had to do. He picked up the phone, dialed a number and waited.
"Yes, tomorrow at 7:00 sharp please. Thank you."
He smiled to himself. boy, would she be surprised. He rolled onto his back and fell asleep, fully clothed.
.:.Somewhere else.:. (lol i know so specific eh?)
"I need some help."
"What kind of help would a wolf demon need from a hanyou like myself?"
"I need a meddlesome girl and a filthy dog, lets say, 'taken care of'."
"Hmmmm, what's in it for me."
"There names are important to you, I believe."
"And the names are...?"
"Kagome and Inuyasha."
.:.Next Day At Miroku's House.:.
Kagome rolled over and promptly landed on the floor with a loud THUD!
"Arggggggg , ughhhhhhhh, owwwwwwwww my ribs." She rolled onto her back while on the floor and started massaging her ribs. She stood up and nearly tripped over Sango who was in a sleeping bag next to her bed.
"Whasamatter?" Sango asked sleepily.
"Nothing...fell outta bed, go back to sleep." Kagome muttered before heading downstairs.
Normally she would have gotten dressed before leaving her room when they had guests over, bed she decided against it today. She walked into the kitchen in her blue p.j bottoms and a red tank top. She found she wasn't the only one who had decided against getting dressed; Miroku was in a pair of black and purple boxers. Kagome didn't say anything; Miroku never got dressed before 11:00 if he could help it. She smiled to herself and grabbed the cereal box out of the cubboard.
.:.With Inuyasha.:.
Inuyasha woke up and checked the clock. 10:00 a.m. He sat bolt upright. He had fallen asleep around 2:00 p.m yesterday! How could he have slept that long!
"Ah well, it's gonna be a looooooooong night." he muttered. Thinking about putting some pants over his boxers, he decided against it. He left his room and headed downstairs.
.:.With Kagome.:.
Miroku put his bowl in the sink and made for the stairs. Kagome noticed him heading in the direction of her room.
"I wouldn't go in there if I was you Miroku...Sango's not totally awake and who knows what she'll do to you if you try anything." Kagome warned. Miroku nodded, gulped and changed direction.
Inuyasha came downstairs. Kagome glanced at him and nearly spit the cereal she was chewing out. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her as she started coughing, and came over to her.
"You ok?" he asked concerned.
"cough y-yes i-i'm cough fine. cough" Kagome managed to get out.
"Go--"
"HENTAI!" screamed a furious female voice.
SMACK!SMACK!SMACK!SMACK!
THUMP!
dragging sound...
BUMP!THUMP!SMASH!
An unconcious Miroku with several hand prints and bumps on his head and face landed in the kitchen. A beyond-furious-red-faced Sango came stomping down the stairs. She grabbed Miroku by his feet and tossed him outside on the front lawn. Then she calmy went back upstairs to get dressed.
"Remind me to NEVER make Sango angry." Inuyasha gulped.
"Oh, thats not that bad, I've seen her do worse. One time she stole his pants and made him run from her house to here in his boxers. I lost count of how many girls were chasing him. Thats also the first time I've seen him run from a girl..."
Inuyasha shivered and excused himself to go get dressed. Kagome smiled and put her bowl in the sink. She then went upstairs to get dressed herself.
Once the girls had gotten dressed, Kagome in a red pleated skirt and a red t-shirt that said "Guilty" on it, and Sango in a pair of navy blue shorts and a black tank top, they had wanted to go to the park. After much protesting from the guys, the girls told them that they would go to the park, and the guys could do whatever.
So now Kagome and Sango were on the swings, talking about the guys who were still at home.
.:.At the Park.:.
The girls were swinging in silence, contemplating what they should talk about. Kagome spoke up first.
"Truth or Dare?"
"What? Oh, truth."
"So, what do you think of Miroku?"
"WHAT? That hentai?"
Kagome nodded.
"He's ok...Truth of Dare?"
Kagome thought about it. "Dare."
"I dare you to ask Inuyasha to the movies."
"Only if you ask Miroku!"
Sango stared at her. "You expect me to sit beside the biggest hentai this world has ever seen for over 10 minutes!"
"Those are my conditions." Kagome said firmly.
"This isn't double dare!"
"It is now!" Kagome stuck her tongue out at Sango.
.:.With the Guys.:.
Inuyasha and Miroku were in Miroku's room. Miroku was wearing black shorts and a light blue t-shirt, and was sprawled out on his bed. Inuyasha was wearing a red t-shirt and black shorts as well, and he was sprawled out on the floor.
"Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Mirok began. "Do you like Kagome?"
"What kinda of a question is that?Do you like Sango?" Inuyasha shot back quickly.
Miroku grinned. "That would be two yes's."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Awww, come on! Admit it! Did you see Kagome in that little skirt of hers? She looked ho--"
Inuyasha stood up quickly and grabbed Miroku by the front of the shirt. "Do you want to finish that comment?" he asked dangerously.
Miroku gulped, then grinned again. "So you DO like h--"
"You want to finish that one also?"
Miroku closed his mouth and Inuyasha released him.
"Even if I did, why would you want to kn--"
SLAM!
"INUYASHA!HENTAI! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Sango's angry voice carried throughout the house.
The guys scrambled downstairs to see Sango with her arms crossed giving Kagome daggers with her eyes, and Kagome not even looking at her with an innocent smile on her face.
"Were going to the movies, tonight, whether you two like it or not." Sango informed them crossly.
"I said ASK Sango!" Kagome complained.
"FINE!Miroku, will you go to the movies tonight?" Sango glared at him letting him know what would happen if he refused.
"Y-yes." Although Miroku was excited, he was scared of Sango right now.
"Your turn." Sango turned her glare back to Kagome.
"I-Inuyasha, do you w-want to go to the movies with me tonight?" Kagome muttered, staring at the floor.
"LOUDER!" Sango demanded.
"Inuyasha will you go to the movies tonight?" Kagome said, blushing furiously and still staring at the floor.
"Yeah, sure." Inuyasha replied, trying not to embarress Kagome further.
Kagome finally made eye contact and smiled at him. It was now Inuyasha's turn to stare at the floor.
"We're catching the 7:15 show at the theatre in the mall. So be there for 10 to 7 so we can get our tickets and some good seats." Sango informed them. "In the mean time, Kagome and I will be at my house."
The girls went to Kagome's room to pick a few things up and then left. Miroku danced happily around the kitchen once they left.
"I've got a date with Sang-o! I've got a date with Sang-o!" he sang and he skipped around the table.
Inuyasha jsut shook his head and headed upstairs.
.:.6:50.:.
Kagome and Sango waited outside of the theatre, waiting for the guys to show up. Kagome was wearing a red spaghetti-strapped summer dress, that had silver dogs embroidered into it. It reminded her of Inuyasha, and she liked it for that reason.
Sango was wearing a plain short sleeved black t-shirt and a purple skirt that had random lines embroidered in gold on it. She had her hair pulled back into her regular ponytail, and was impatient currently.
"Where are they?" she said, shifting in her impatience.
"Why Sango, if we were on time, you lovely ladies wouldn't miss us as much, now would you?" inquired a familair voice.
Sango jumped at the voice, but was ready with a retort. "Who said anything about miss you?" She asked. "I just want to see the movie!"
Sango walked toward the theatre, nose in the air, followed by Miroku. Kagome looked around, dissapointed. where was Inuyasha? she though to herself. She frowned, and turned to follow them when she heard a familiar voice say huskily in her ear;
"Miss me?"
Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin when her favourite hanyou wrapped his arms around her and whispered into her ear. She smiled and whispered back;
"Not a chance."
"You lie, I can smell it." he informed her. Kagome blushed, then suggested they follow Sango and Miroku, or they would lose them and never find out what movie they were seeing. Inuyasha agreed and they soon caught up with them.
"Why don't we see a scary movie?" asked Miroku.
"Yeah!" agreed Inuyasha.
"I don't know..." Kagome trailed off, but then saw the title of the movie they wanted to see. It was the grudge, and she had wanted to see it since it came out. She agreed and before long they were sitting in the theatre. Miroku on the far left, then Sango and Kagome sitting side by side, then Inuyasha on the other side of Kagome.
The movie started and Kagome thought; Well, this isn't so scary. That is, until the young maid saw the creepy face in the attic. Kagome screamed and latched onto Inuyasha's shirt, as him arms were busy covering his ears since half the theatre had screamed along with Kagome. Sango had screamed and latched onto Miroku's arm.
Sango and Miroku both had their eyes glued to the screen, but Kagome had noticed the fact that Inuyasha's arms weren't at his sides when she had latched onto his shirt. She turned to find him holding his ears down. Kagome let go of his shirt and tokk his hands away from his ears. He gave her an inquiring look, but she wasn't paying attention. Kagome reached up (and you all know whats coming next) and grabbed his ears, and...rubbed.
Kagome didn't know why, she just felt the need to rub his ears since they hurt from the screaming. She hadn't failed to notice, however, that Inuyasha had completely relaxed once she stared rubbing. Then another scary part came and everyone screamed again. Kagome jumped about a foot in the air and let go of Inuyasha's ears. She blushed and went to continue watching the movie, when she heard a growl.
She turned to find Inuyasha growling at her. She raised her eyebrows and he pointed to his ears. Kagome giggled like a little school girl and resumed rubbing his ears. After a while, no one screamed and Kagome went back to watching a movie that now made no sense because she hadn't seen most of it.
After 5 confusing minutes, there was a girl shuffling on the screen, and she was dripping blood. Even though Kagome hadn't seen most of the movie, she immediatly latched onto Inuyasha's arm and glued her eyes to the screen. After a moment she decided that she didn't want to find out what the girl looked like when she turned around, so she squeezed her eyes shut and buried her head into Inuyasha's shirt. He stared down at her, then hugged her for comfort.
Kagome's eyes shot open and she smiled. Awwwww, he wants to comfort me! she snuggled closer to him, and then everyone screamed. But it wasn't because of the movie.
