Gone Today, Here Tomorrow
Chapter 4: Christmas (in a few weeks)
"Oh, Christmas in 2 weeks!" Kagome shrieked, with joy, out of her car.
"I didn't ride with you to get embarrassed!" Sango said sliding down in her seat wearing a slight blush.
"Ah, I guess you would much rather talk about your relationship with Miroku now, eh?" Kagome asked slyly.
"W-wh-WHAT!" Sango shouted turning dark red, almost jumping out of her seat.
"That's what I thought." Kagome said giggling.
"I like your outfit and what you did to your hair!" Sango exclaimed.
"Stop changing the subject." Kagome said smiling. "But... thanks." She brushed her hand threw her hair which was being blown by the wind. "I got it last year."
Sango looked at the red shirt that said, in sparkly blue letters, 'I'm not violent so stop saying that or I'll kill you!" and her jeans that had light red very here and there but you could still see the navy blue.
"It still fits?" Sango asked. "I've thrown everything out from last year!"
"Yea, but too bad their a little tighter." Kagome sighed.
"I wonder what the boys at school will think?" Sango said excitedly.
"I shudder to think." Kagome said slightly quivering.
"Don't worry! You're strong and your shirt says all." Sango said reassuringly.
"Thanks." Kag said.
~HS~
"Ohh, nice pants." "Nice shirts" "Nice hair" "Wanna go out with me?"
Kagome heard as she walked to her locker. She felt jealous glares from girls and perverted ones from guys.
"Sango, I change my mine I only hate refusing nice guys like Onigumo, well he looked nice." Kagome said frustratingly shrugging.
"Calm down we're almost to your locker." Sango said.
"oooo there it is!" Kagome said running towards it.
Guys still stared at her and some even bumped into one another. While Kagome took the books and other material need ed for her next class someone was staring at her. She could feel him with his hand stretched out onto one of the locker.
"May I help you?" Kagome said harshly slamming her locker closed.
"Nothin' just picking you since you are my girlfriend." The boy said with a shrug.
Gasps and sighs could be heard around. Kagome could hear neither. She was to pissed off.
"E-EXCUSE ME!" Kagome's voice roared with anger.
"You're my girlfriend." Kouga said slowly.
"Hell no!" Kagome said slapping him hard across the face.
She stormed right passed him to her first period class. People laughed at the boy. He shrugged again and walked away as if nothing happened. He had long black hair pulled into a high ponytail, with blue eyes, baggy brown pavts, and a light brown shirt.
~Pre-calc room~
Inuyasha was already in his seat staring outside. He had opened the window earlier so there was a slight breeze blowing itself around the room. Inuyasha sighed.
'Why am I alone with the school whore?" Inuyasha thought to himself. He glanced at Kikyou who was staring at him intently.
Then he heard panting to regular breathing in 2 seconds flat. He starred at the door. Kagome walked in her hair blowing around her face as she pulled a piece behind her ear. She had dark red streaks in her hair. Inuyasha gaped at her. Kagome slamming her books on her desk awoke him.
"What's up your ass?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well if you must know it's this boy." Kagome started looking Inuyasha straight in the eye. "He comes up to me and says you're my girlfriend like an idiot. When I just met him, well I didn't even really meet him then either! And oh yea how do you like my hair!" She grabbed some of it and held it in front of him.
"When'd you get streaks?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's your fault! RED PAINT! Remember!" Kagome yelled at him. "I had to dye it red where I couldn't get all the paint off and the streaks are permanent!"
"Oh I see. Now I remember." Inuyasha said putting his fingers on his chin and nodded.
"Inuyasha, you're and idiot." Kagome said giggling.
The bell rang as Inuyasha wore a pleased smile as making Kagome happy. (Sorry I forgot all about Kikyou but who cares I don't like her. Anyway if you must know she sat there silently getting all steamed.)
~Lunch~
"Did Inuyasha do anything to you today?" Sango asked grabbing some French fries.
"He interrupted me while I was talking in History, he kept asking what the answers were on the tests in Pre-Calc and English, and he smudged paint." Kagome said irritably. "He is annoying but not when he's nice and he's tells the funniest jokes but not considering that he is the worst person. Cept him Kagome nodded to the boy that she saw early who was walking toward them.
"Is this seat takin?" He asked pointing at the seat next to Kagome.
"Yes by Inuyasha and the other one next to me is takin by Miroku." Kagome said alowly as if he was a dumd ass as he did to her.
"Oh well then uhhh come on and sit by me." The boy said.
"Hell no, dammit!" Kagome screamed not looking at him.
"Well, why not you are my girlfriend." The boy said as if he was confused.
"Yea right you loser!" Kagome finally turned toward him her eyes raged.
"Leave Kagome alone Kouga." Sango said backing up her friend. "She doesn't like you, get the picture already!"
"But---" Kouga started.
"What the hell are you doin at my table?" Inuyasha snapped.
"I'm getting my girl friend!" Kouga turned around and pointed at Kagome.
Inuyasha raised his eyebrow at Kagome; she turned and looked up at him.
"Let's just say I much rather go out with you, Inuyasha, then him." Kagome said simply.
Inuyasha blushed making Kagome smile.
"What are you talking about!? You're my girlfriend." Kouga shouted turning back to Kagome. A crowd formed around them.
Kagome stood up and punched Kouga making him take a couple steps back (she didn't punch him as hard as she did with Kikyou because she had something else more painful in mind).
"I AM NOT YOUR DAMN GIRLFRIEND!" Kagome roared her voice dripping with hatred, loathe, and rage. "I DON'T KNOW YOU NOR DO I LIKE YOU! I THINK YOU'RE UGLY AND I HATE YOU!"
Kagome stormed away (she kind of is hoping he won't talk to her but if he does she does have a plan B).
"But you're my girlfriend.' Kouga persisted but he'd soon wish he hadn't.
Kagome stopped and she started to glow pink and her hair and clothes were swaying just like wind was blowing beneath her. She turned to face Kouga, slowly, her eyes with fire burning brightly. Slowly the pink glow grew bigger and slightly darker (but not too dark). She closed her eyes and raised her right hand and stuck her index and middle finger up. She slowly brought it down between her eyes. Then she raised her left hand, doing the same as she did with her right hand, and then she started drawing Japanese characters in the air with both hands (she drew the characters with pink lines but they disappeared soon). Then they appeared again except burning with fire. She crossed her arms then straightened them fast and hard "pushing" them at Kouga. They flew quickly as everybody's heads turned to watch the characters every move as they flew toward Kouga. They burned into his head and he screamed the whole while. Kagome slowly opened her eyes.
"I AM NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND NOR WILL I EVER BE!" Kagome yelled making the whole cafeteria and everybody in it shake.
She turned with her backpack over shoulder. She walked away from an unconscious Kouga and stunned classmates. The pink glow had dispersed and her footsteps echoed in the eerily quite cafeteria. No body moved or as much as talk, the bell rang but still no body moved. Half of them starred at Kouga and the other half at the disappearing Kagome.
~Higurashi house~
"I'm home!" Kagome said taking her shoes off.
""Kagome?" Ms. Higurashi said walking to the door. "What are you doing home so early?"
"I accidentally did IT again." Kagome sighed.
"Oh that---" Ms. Higurashi said in a far off voice.
"Yea." Kagome sighed. "Anyway I'm going to get ready."
Kagome walked past Ms. Higurashi and started up the stairs.
"For what?" Ms. Higurashi asked turning around.
"Bow practice." Kagome said.
~15 minutes later~
"I'm leaving." Kagome said.
"Kagome!" Ms. Higurashi shouted. "Your lunch."
"Thanks" Kagome said grabbing the bag. "But isn't it a little much?"
"No, no" Ms. Higurashi said letting go of the 5 lbs. bag.
"Really." Kagome grunted struggling out the door. "Bye-bye."
"Bye!" Ms. Higurashi said happily.
Kagome looked at her car. She sighed. 'Kaede said not to come if I go by car.*sigh* Depressing... esp. with these damn uncomfortable wooden shoes. Keh! I'll guess I'll have to muddle somehow. And with this 5 lbs. lunch on my back.'
Kagome trudged down the stairs of her shrine house then down the road to Bows an' Arrows (Kaede's place).
~Bow an' Arrows~
"Hi Lady Kaede!" Kagome shouted happily.
The old woman looked Kagome up and down. She was wearing a white shirt tucked into her baggy red pants (like what Kagome is wearing) with a white ribbon tying her gray hair. She had creamy brown kind eyes.
"May I help you?" Kaede asked.
Kagome giggled. "You don't remember me, the trouble maker?"
Kaede shook her head. Kagome stared Kaede in the eye hands on her hips and eyebrow raised.
"Kagome!" Kaede said.
Kagome smiled.
"It is you." Kaede said hugging Kagome. "I haven't seen you in 8 years. No on e has ever been as good as you."
"Ok, ok enough with the compliments." Kagome said. "I need to practice."
"Oh I have something for you." Kaede said scurrying away.
"How'd you know I was coming?" Kagome asked.
"I didn't" Kaede said scurrying back with something in her hands.
"Then---" Kagome said.
"I got for you 8 years ago but you left before I could give it to you." Kaede said handing over the gift.
"Oh." Kagome said and started to laugh. Kaede joined her.
Kagome opened the gift. She smiled.
"Thanks." Kagome said.
She stared at the smooth polished oak wood bow. The string was oiled and glossy looking strong. She brushed her hand against the smooth surface. She smiled again.
"Let's get to work." Kagome said excitedly tightening her grip on the bow.
"Outside." Kaede said raising her arm toward the way out.
~Outside~
"Ok, remember your form and of course aim for the black dot in the middle." Kaede said.
"K" Kagome responded.
She stared at the small black dot in the middle of the round board. She set an arrow on the string. She pulled shaking slightly. Then she straightened and let go. The arrow flew through the air then---
"I did it!" Kagome said jumping up and down.
"Good job." Kaede said clapping slightly. "Have you been practicing?"
"Yea, a little not much though." Kagome said.
"Try a few more." Kaede said handing Kagome a few arrows.
Kagome did the same as she did with the first arrow, splitting the arrows she shot before in half.
"I'm good." Kagome remarked.
"We'll see." Kaede said getting more arrows.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Inuyasha!" Myouga shouted.
"What?" Inuyasha shouted back.
"You're late." Myouga pointed out.
"Keh!" Inuyasha grunted. "Whatever."
"Get your sword and your uniform and go outside." Myouga said.
"I'm going Myouga gi chan." Inuyasha said passing Myouga.
"And this time wear the uniform." Myouga said.
"I never did and I never will!" Inuyasha shouted while walking in the boys locker room. 'Why does this place have a guys and a chicks locker room? The chicks go to Kaede baabaa.' He thought.
~Outside~
"Inuyasha!" a group of boys ran to him.
"What1" Inuyasha said taking a few steps back.
"There's a really hot babe over at Kaede's place." They exclaimed.
They dragged him to the fence between Slash and Dash (Myouga's place) and Bow an' Arrow. They pointed at a girl in a miko outfit. Her hair was swaying with the wind while she aimed for the black dot.
"Kagome." Inuyasha said staring at her as a slight shade of pink crawled cheeks.
"You know her?" a boy asked.
"I bet he's goin' out with her." Another boy said.
"Lucky!" The first boy said.
"Say hi." A different boy said.
"What? Why?" Inuyasha said. "And I'm not goin' out with her."
They started arguing. Kagome heard them and turned. She smiled. She whispered something to Kaede then put her stuff down and walked over to the fence. Some boys noticed her and stared, she just smiled.
"I can't concentrate when you're arguing so loudly, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted putting her hands on her hips. "And why aren't you wearing what they are."
She just realized that Inuyasha was wearing a dark red haori and the others had samurai clothes on. Inuyasha turned and took a step back.
"W-well I was arguing about somethin' important. And I don't like their outfits." Inuyasha pointed out.
"I like red better anyway." Kagome said smiling and putting her hands behind her back clasping each other.
Inuyasha's slight blushed turned into a more noticeable one. He stared at Kagome but not straight in the eye.
"You think I look good in this don't you?" Kagome said, still smiling, bending down and looking to stare Inuyasha in the eye.
"N-n-n- HELL NO!" Inuyasha shouted turning as red as his haori. He took another step back. "What makes you think that?'
"Hmmmm---" Kagome hummed pretending to think. "Well maybe you keep looking me up and down. Or maybe you do that to every girl like a perv." She raised an eyebrow.
Inuyasha turned darker then his haori. Kagome startes laughing.
"It's ok now I know you're not a perv." Kag smiled. "Plus they're practically drooling oh they are."
Kagome and Inuyasha started laughing Inuyasha stopped and stared at Kagome. 'She looks so happy.' He thought 'Different from early today. And I like her like this.' Inuyasha smiled.
"I gotta go practice some mo'." Kagome said.
"Oh I need to start." Inuyasha said.
"See ya!" Kagome shouted running back waving with a smile on her face.
"See ya." Inuyasha practically whispered.
He turned to see a group of big evil grins. He sighed and started walking.
~4:00 pm~
Inuyasha was talking to his friends when one of them said. "Look it's Kagome."
Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome in front of Kaede's place. She had a red tang top on that reached just above her bellybutton, loose around her stomach. It said "Don't worry I bite!" and loose, baggy jeans. She wore flip flops on her feet and her bangs were pulled back by sunglasses. She also had gold diamond stud earrings. She turned to see Inuyasha.
"Hi, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted waving with a smile.
"hey." Inuyasha said nodding his head. "Whatcha doin'"
"Nothin." Kagome said shrugging.
"Where's your car?" Inuyasha asked.
"Let's just say I forgot it." Kagome said.
"Ok---" Inuyasha said. "Whatcha gonna do?"
"Inuyasha, I know this is leading to a question what is it?" Kagome said hands on her hips.
"I don't wanna ask anything!" Inuyasha yelled as a slight shade of pink crept upon his face. (Now he's blushing alot)
"Ok then, bye." Kagome said walking away.
"Inuyasha." A boy whispered.
"Oh great you guys are still here." Inuyasha sighed.
"Are you sure ya gonna let her go?" he asked.
"Yea, why?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ungentlemen like you idiot." The boy said. "Why don't ya ask her if she wants a ride."
"Fine! Jeez why am I friends with you guys anyway." Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha ran to his car and jumped in. He drove to Kagome, who was still walking down the side walk. She turned to face him.
"Wanna ride!" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure but if someone saw us wouldn't that mess up your 'reputation'" Kagome said.
"Probably, so?" Inuyasha said.
"Ok." Kagome smiled.
She ran to the other side of the car and hopped in. She turned to Inuyasha (after buckling her seat belt. BE safe now everyone out there buckle up) with a smile. He drove off.
"You have a short fuse don'tcha?" Inuyasha said
"No, not usually." Kagome said "Only when guys call me their girlfriend. I get pissed."
"Why?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome looked down at her hands lying on her lap. "I don't really want to tell you."
"Ok." Inuyasha said. "Wanna go somewhere?"
Kagome looked up with a confused happy smile on her face. She nodded.
~The mall~
"Are you done?" Inuyasha asked impatiently holding 20+ bags.
"One more." Kagome said. "Wait over there."
Inuyasha gladly walked over to the bench and plopped down. He watched Kagome as she ran into a store.
~30 mins later~
:Inuyasha, Inuyasha!" Kagome said shaking him slightly.
Inuyasha opened his eyes and blinked some. He yawned stretching his arms.
"Done?" He asked.
"Yep!" Kagome said holding up a bag.
"What took so long?" He asked.
"Couldn't decide." She replied.
"Then let's go." Inuyasha said picking up the bags. "Want me to hold that?"
"Nah, I got it." Kagome said walking next to Inuyasha.
~Inuyasha's car~
"NO, LEFT!!" Kagome screamed.
"Ok, ok." Inuyasha replied making a sharp turn.
"THERE!" Kagome screamed pointing at her house.
They safely parked in her driveway. They both took a deep breath.
"We made it!" Kagome exclaimed jumping out of the car.
"What's the rush?" Inuyasha asked helping her with her bags.
"Before my mom gets home." Kagome said running to the door.
She pulled out a key and bust open the door. She dashed up stairs. She threw the door open and tossed the bags on her bed.
"Inuyasha up here!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha ran up into the room. Kagome closed the door behind them.
"Want anything?" Kagome said.
"Something to drink maybe?" Inuyasha said.
"Ok." Kagome ran out the door.
~5 mins later~
Kagome went into the room with a platter.
"Ramen!" Inuyasha exclaimed jumping off the bed.
"Sango said it was your fav." Kagome said sitting down. "Let's eat."
Kagome at her PB & J and Inuyasha swallowed down his ramen. They drank their drinks.
"I better go." Inuyasha said getting up.
"Ok I'll walk you to your car." Kagome said.
They were walking towards the door when---
"Kagome!"
Kagome froze in her steps.
"So close!" she said under her breath.
She slowly turned around.
"M-mama!" Kagome said with a fake smile plastered on her face. "I was just walking out so---"
"Introduce me to your boyfriend." Ms Hig said.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Kagome yelled.
"Damn!" Ms. Hig said. "Then you better make him yours."
"No, mama, we're friends." Kagome said calmly.
"Sure---" Ms.Hig said rolling her eyes.
"Anyway! This is Inuyasha, Inuyasha my mom." Kagome said introducing. "Now he has to leave."
Kagome pushed Inuyasha out the door and to his car. She sighed.
"Whew!" She breathed wiping her forehead as if sweat was there.
"I see what you mean." Inuyasha said laughing.
"I always wondered something." Kagome said.
"What?" Inuyasha said.
Before he knew it Kagome snatched the bandana from his head. He froze. Kagome squealed in delight. She reached for the ears and started rubbing them. She made Inuyasha fall into his back seat, her still on top of him. Inuyasha closed his eyes and slightly purred.
"You have cute doggy ears just like an old friend." Kagome said.
"S-stop!" Inuyasha said brushing off Kagome's hands reluctantly. "Give me back my bandana."
"Looks like a ribbon." Kagome said investigating the cloth.
Inuyasha snatched it from her.
"Don't tell anybody!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I won't. But I love them!" Kagome said rubbing them again.
Inuyasha blushed.
"You don't think they're weird?' Inuyasha asked looking away.
"Course not, actually they make me feel really happy." Kagome said.
"Thanks, I guess." Inuyasha said then suddenly blushing madly. "Will you --- uh--- get off of me?"
Kagome looked down and realized she was still on him. She also blushed. She pushed up off of him and jumped out of the car. Inuyasha jumped out too.
"Sorry." Kagome said turning her head.
"It's ok." Inuyasha said also turning his head. "I gotta go."
He started to the driver's side of his car. A hand fell on his shoulder he turned. Then he felt something warm and soft on his cheek. His eyes shifted and he saw Kagome. He turned a deep red. Kagome pulled away.
"Thanks for today." She said smiling cocking her head to a side. She turned and ran into her house but not before waving to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha smiled as he put his hand on his cheek. He jumped in his car and left.

P.S. Next Chapter: Invited to a party
"Oh, Christmas in 2 weeks!" Kagome shrieked, with joy, out of her car.

"Oh." Kagome said and started to laugh. Kaede joined her.
Kagome opened the gift. She smiled.
"Thanks." Kagome said.
She stared at the smooth polished oak wood bow. The string was oiled and glossy looking strong. She brushed her hand against the smooth surface. She smiled again.
"Let's get to work." Kagome said excitedly tightening her grip on the bow.
"Outside." Kaede said raising her arm toward the way out.
~Outside~
"Ok, remember your form and of course aim for the black dot in the middle." Kaede said.
"K" Kagome responded.
She stared at the small black dot in the middle of the round board. She set an arrow on the string. She pulled shaking slightly. Then she straightened and let go. The arrow flew through the air then---
"I did it!" Kagome said jumping up and down.
"Good job." Kaede said clapping slightly. "Have you been practicing?"
"Yea, a little not much though." Kagome said.
"Try a few more." Kaede said handing Kagome a few arrows.
Kagome did the same as she did with the first arrow, splitting the arrows she shot before in half.
"I'm good." Kagome remarked.
"We'll see." Kaede said getting more arrows.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Inuyasha!" Myouga shouted.
"What?" Inuyasha shouted back.
"You're late." Myouga pointed out.
"Keh!" Inuyasha grunted. "Whatever."
"Get your sword and your uniform and go outside." Myouga said.
"I'm going Myouga gi chan." Inuyasha said passing Myouga.
"And this time wear the uniform." Myouga said.
"I never did and I never will!" Inuyasha shouted while walking in the boys locker room. 'Why does this place have a guys and a chicks locker room? The chicks go to Kaede baabaa.' He thought.
~Outside~
"Inuyasha!" a group of boys ran to him.
"What1" Inuyasha said taking a few steps back.
"There's a really hot babe over at Kaede's place." They exclaimed.
They dragged him to the fence between Slash and Dash (Myouga's place) and Bow an' Arrow. They pointed at a girl in a miko outfit. Her hair was swaying with the wind while she aimed for the black dot.
"Kagome." Inuyasha said staring at her as a slight shade of pink crawled cheeks.
"You know her?" a boy asked.
"I bet he's goin' out with her." Another boy said.
"Lucky!" The first boy said.
"Say hi." A different boy said.
"What? Why?" Inuyasha said. "And I'm not goin' out with her."
They started arguing. Kagome heard them and turned. She smiled. She whispered something to Kaede then put her stuff down and walked over to the fence. Some boys noticed her and stared, she just smiled.
"I can't concentrate when you're arguing so loudly, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted putting her hands on her hips. "And why aren't you wearing what they are."
She just realized that Inuyasha was wearing a dark red haori and the others had samurai clothes on. Inuyasha turned and took a step back.
"W-well I was arguing about somethin' important. And I don't like their outfits." Inuyasha pointed out.
"I like red better anyway." Kagome said smiling and putting her hands behind her back clasping each other.
Inuyasha's slight blushed turned into a more noticeable one. He stared at Kagome but not straight in the eye.
"You think I look good in this don't you?" Kagome said, still smiling, bending down and looking to stare Inuyasha in the eye.
"N-n-n- HELL NO!" Inuyasha shouted turning as red as his haori. He took another step back. "What makes you think that?'
"Hmmmm---" Kagome hummed pretending to think. "Well maybe you keep looking me up and down. Or maybe you do that to every girl like a perv." She raised an eyebrow.
Inuyasha turned darker then his haori. Kagome startes laughing.
"It's ok now I know you're not a perv." Kag smiled. "Plus they're practically drooling oh they are."
Kagome and Inuyasha started laughing Inuyasha stopped and stared at Kagome. 'She looks so happy.' He thought 'Different from early today. And I like her like this.' Inuyasha smiled.
"I gotta go practice some mo'." Kagome said.
"Oh I need to start." Inuyasha said.
"See ya!" Kagome shouted running back waving with a smile on her face.
"See ya." Inuyasha practically whispered.
He turned to see a group of big evil grins. He sighed and started walking.
~4:00 pm~
Inuyasha was talking to his friends when one of them said. "Look it's Kagome."
Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome in front of Kaede's place. She had a red tang top on that reached just above her bellybutton, loose around her stomach. It said "Don't worry I bite!" and loose, baggy jeans. She wore flip flops on her feet and her bangs were pulled back by sunglasses. She also had gold diamond stud earrings. She turned to see Inuyasha.
"Hi, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted waving with a smile.
"hey." Inuyasha said nodding his head. "Whatcha doin'"
"Nothin." Kagome said shrugging.
"Where's your car?" Inuyasha asked.
"Let's just say I forgot it." Kagome said.
"Ok---" Inuyasha said. "Whatcha gonna do?"
"Inuyasha, I know this is leading to a question what is it?" Kagome said hands on her hips.
"I don't wanna ask anything!" Inuyasha yelled as a slight shade of pink crept upon his face. (Now he's blushing alot)
"Ok then, bye." Kagome said walking away.
"Inuyasha." A boy whispered.
"Oh great you guys are still here." Inuyasha sighed.
"Are you sure ya gonna let her go?" he asked.
"Yea, why?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ungentlemen like you idiot." The boy said. "Why don't ya ask her if she wants a ride."
"Fine! Jeez why am I friends with you guys anyway." Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha ran to his car and jumped in. He drove to Kagome, who was still walking down the side walk. She turned to face him.
"Wanna ride!" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure but if someone saw us wouldn't that mess up your 'reputation'" Kagome said.
"Probably, so?" Inuyasha said.
"Ok." Kagome smiled.
She ran to the other side of the car and hopped in. She turned to Inuyasha (after buckling her seat belt. BE safe now everyone out there buckle up) with a smile. He drove off.
"You have a short fuse don'tcha?" Inuyasha said
"No, not usually." Kagome said "Only when guys call me their girlfriend. I get pissed."
"Why?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome looked down at her hands lying on her lap. "I don't really want to tell you."
"Ok." Inuyasha said. "Wanna go somewhere?"
Kagome looked up with a confused happy smile on her face. She nodded.
~The mall~
"Are you done?" Inuyasha asked impatiently holding 20+ bags.
"One more." Kagome said. "Wait over there."
Inuyasha gladly walked over to the bench and plopped down. He watched Kagome as she ran into a store.
~30 mins later~
:Inuyasha, Inuyasha!" Kagome said shaking him slightly.
Inuyasha opened his eyes and blinked some. He yawned stretching his arms.
"Done?" He asked.
"Yep!" Kagome said holding up a bag.
"What took so long?" He asked.
"Couldn't decide." She replied.
"Then let's go." Inuyasha said picking up the bags. "Want me to hold that?"
"Nah, I got it." Kagome said walking next to Inuyasha.
~Inuyasha's car~
"NO, LEFT!!" Kagome screamed.
"Ok, ok." Inuyasha replied making a sharp turn.
"THERE!" Kagome screamed pointing at her house.
They safely parked in her driveway. They both took a deep breath.
"We made it!" Kagome exclaimed jumping out of the car.
"What's the rush?" Inuyasha asked helping her with her bags.
"Before my mom gets home." Kagome said running to the door.
She pulled out a key and bust open the door. She dashed up stairs. She threw the door open and tossed the bags on her bed.
"Inuyasha up here!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha ran up into the room. Kagome closed the door behind them.
"Want anything?" Kagome said.
"Something to drink maybe?" Inuyasha said.
"Ok." Kagome ran out the door.
~5 mins later~
Kagome went into the room with a platter.
"Ramen!" Inuyasha exclaimed jumping off the bed.
"Sango said it was your fav." Kagome said sitting down. "Let's eat."
Kagome at her PB & J and Inuyasha swallowed down his ramen. They drank their drinks.
"I better go." Inuyasha said getting up.
"Ok I'll walk you to your car." Kagome said.
They were walking towards the door when---
"Kagome!"
Kagome froze in her steps.
"So close!" she said under her breath.
She slowly turned around.
"M-mama!" Kagome said with a fake smile plastered on her face. "I was just walking out so---"
"Introduce me to your boyfriend." Ms Hig said.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Kagome yelled.
"Damn!" Ms. Hig said. "Then you better make him yours."
"No, mama, we're friends." Kagome said calmly.
"Sure---" Ms.Hig said rolling her eyes.
"Anyway! This is Inuyasha, Inuyasha my mom." Kagome said introducing. "Now he has to leave."
Kagome pushed Inuyasha out the door and to his car. She sighed.
"Whew!" She breathed wiping her forehead as if sweat was there.
"I see what you mean." Inuyasha said laughing.
"I always wondered something." Kagome said.
"What?" Inuyasha said.
Before he knew it Kagome snatched the bandana from his head. He froze. Kagome squealed in delight. She reached for the ears and started rubbing them. She made Inuyasha fall into his back seat, her still on top of him. Inuyasha closed his eyes and slightly purred.
"You have cute doggy ears just like an old friend." Kagome said.
"S-stop!" Inuyasha said brushing off Kagome's hands reluctantly. "Give me back my bandana."
"Looks like a ribbon." Kagome said investigating the cloth.
Inuyasha snatched it from her.
"Don't tell anybody!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I won't. But I love them!" Kagome said rubbing them again.
Inuyasha blushed.
"You don't think they're weird?' Inuyasha asked looking away.
"Course not, actually they make me feel really happy." Kagome said.
"Thanks, I guess." Inuyasha said then suddenly blushing madly. "Will you --- uh--- get off of me?"
Kagome looked down and realized she was still on him. She also blushed. She pushed up off of him and jumped out of the car. Inuyasha jumped out too.
"Sorry." Kagome said turning her head.
"It's ok." Inuyasha said also turning his head. "I gotta go."
He started to the driver's side of his car. A hand fell on his shoulder he turned. Then he felt something warm and soft on his cheek. His eyes shifted and he saw Kagome. He turned a deep red. Kagome pulled away.
"Thanks for today." She said smiling cocking her head to a side. She turned and ran into her house but not before waving to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha smiled as he put his hand on his cheek. He jumped in his car and left.
