Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inu-yasha characters. They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi, my hero!
Note: Hiten! Haha :P Hiten is one of my fave characters in the show… I think he's fabulous. For an anime character, he is HOT! Well, so is Koga, and Inu-yasha… Haha. AGH! I'm getting closer and closer to having to write the sequel… AHHH! Review please.
Chapter 8
Last class of the day! Finally! I thought as I ran down the hall towards my history class.
It was Friday, and it had been two weeks since the party with Inu-yasha, and he and I had been hanging out even more now. Practically every day. I knew that now, some people thought we were "together" and in some ways I guess we were, but we never really... talked about those times we kissed.
"Hey Kagome!" said Hiten when I entered the class room. He was sitting close to the back so I walked down the aisles of desk and sat down next to him.
"Hi Hiten!" I said. I gave him a little smile and was a confused when he seemed to blush a little bit. Why was he blushing?
I had noticed that ever since the party when I talked to Hiten, he would always give me these shy smiles or blush when he saw me. I had told Sango yesterday and I now recalled what she had said.
-----FLASHBACK-----
I was sitting on my bed, Sango at my computer when I had popped the question that had been nagging at me for the past while.
"Sango," I asked laying down. "have you noticed how weird... Hiten has been acting lately?"
She turned away from my computer and grinned at me. "Everyone's noticed!" she stated.
I raised an eye brow. "How?"
She sighed. "Cuz Hiten has been questioning everyone about you and Inu-yasha and if you liked him and if he had a chance with you." She told me while turning back to the computer.
I sat up again, eyes wide. "He... He likes me!"
She nodded, not even turning to look at me. "A lot." She said.
-----END OF FLASHBACK-----
I finished my thinking just as the bell to class rang, and my teacher came in. Class began, and I barely listened to her as she droned on about feudal Japan.
"Hey Kagome," Hiten whispered to me. He passed me a small note, underneath my desk so the teacher couldn't see. I took it and opened it up.
Kagome,
I was wondering if you'd like to go to a movie with me on Sunday. How 'bout it?
I crumpled up the note and stuffed it in my pocket. What should I say to him? I thought. I had been to tons of movies with Hiten before, but I knew now that it was different. He meant it as in a date.
I looked over at him, and caught him starring intently at me. I didn't want to be mean, so I nodded and smiled at him.
He smiled, seeming to brighten entirely. He turned towards the teacher again, as well as I. But I didn't hear a single word the teacher said for the rest of the class.
-------------------------
"What am I supposed to do?" I said finally, after finishing telling Sango and Rin all about what had happened.
We were at Sango's house after school since we were having a sleep over, and the girls had been pestering me since they knew something had been bothering me by the way I had been acting.
Rin shook her head. "He had asked me if you were dating Inu-yasha a couple days ago, and since I didn't know he liked you I said no!" Rin told me. "Sorry."
"Well Kagome," Sango said sternly. "You're gonna have to go to the movie with him and tell him yourself that you don't like him that way, and that it wouldn't work out!"
"Then I'd feel bad!" I exclaimed.
She shrugged. "So? Do you want to date him?" she asked me raising an eye brow.
I quickly shook my head. I just wanted to stay friends.
"Then no matter how mean it is, you have to tell him the truth." Said Rin, nodding.
Just then her cell phone rang and she quickly answered. "Rin here." She said brightly into the phone. She smiled when someone on the other side said something. "Hi Fluffy! How are you?"
Sango and I exchanged looks at Rins ridiculous nick name for Sesshomaru, her boy friend.
"So are you going to tell that to Hiten?" Sango asked.
I nodded. "I will. No matter how much it might hurt him, I have to tell him the truth."
"Good." Said Sango finally smiling. She sat up on her bed, and undid her hair. She began braiding it in two braids while standing up and going over to her mirror.
"Ok! See you then Fluffy! Bye –love you too!" said Rin smiling lovingly. She hung up the phone and sighed happily.
I laughed at her expression, and finally relaxed after my fear for tomorrow. It wouldn't be so bad.
Same time but Inu-yashas mind
"Hey Inu-yasha, are you actually dating Kagome now?" Sesshomaru asked as he just walked into my room without knocking.
"You could have knocked." I told him angrily. I hated it when he would just barge into my room.
He ignored what I said. "So are you?" He asked again. He sat down on my bed and stared at me with those calm eyes.
I thought for a second. "Not exactly, but I dunno. You might be able to say that." I said shrugging and blushing a little.
He raised an eyebrow. "Would you be mad if she was going on a date with someone else?" he asked.
I don't know why but I clenched my teeth and glared at him.
He gave me one of those rare smiles of his. "I'll take that as a yes," he said. He looked down at his watch before continuing. "For your information, she's going to a movie tomorrow with someone on a date."
I exploded then. "WHO!"
End of Chapter 8
Authors Note: I didn't really change it, did I? Oh well. Doesn't matter. It was fine the way it was… Short, yes, but fine. :D
