Chapter 9
The next morning, I woke up at 6:04 –much earlier than I usually got up at on weekends. At first I wondered why –but then I realized cuz it was due to that date between Kagome and Hiten. I clenched my teeth angrily at the thought of Hiten and Kagome together. That was just... sickening! I hated that guy.
You like her, a little voice said in my head.
I blushed. No I don't! I seemed to tell it right back. Why was I even denying myself? God, I knew I did… I enjoyed being with her so much, and I couldn't stop thinking about her… Ok, maybe I do, but so what –shut up! I yelled at myself.
Great, now I was talking to myself. I was probably going insane and would have to go to some asylum for this. And I'd never see Kagome again.
I blushed even deeper, and smacked my head for ever thinking that.
Maybe you love her, the little voice spoke up again annoyingly. I blushed even deeper… Could I be in love with her..?
"No I don't!" I yelled aloud, without even realizing it.
Just then, my brother burst in –without knocking. He was in a T-shirt and his boxers. Daffy Duck boxers. How nice. "What's wrong?" he asked, sleepily. He was probably half asleep. His eyes were half closed, and he was squinting around, as if he didn't even know where he was.
"Oh," I said. "Nothing..."
He looked at me funny, before spinning around and ramminf into my door. He stumbled back a few steps, and stared at my door like he'd seen one before. "Shit..." he mumbled. He stared at my door for a few more seconds before finally opening the door and properly going out.
I grinned. My brother was so dumb in the mornings.
I jumped up from bed, and ran down stairs towards the kitchen. I opened up a cupboard and yanked out some Corn Pops, pouring a heaping amount in a bowl, and soaking it in milk. I began munching on it messily –not even caring that milk was dripping down my chin. I had to think up a plan... to stop this date between Kagome and Hiten.

Kagome's
Mind
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Augggghh..." I moaned. Sango had obviously set her alarm clock later than she usually woke up on week days –but still had set it. We had stayed up really late last night and I wanted to sleep more.
Rin moaned sleepily and yanked her blanket over her head.
Sango stood up angrily and smashed her alarm clock.
Rin and I stared at her surprise as little pieces from the clock flew everywhere and the beeping grew fainter and fainter; the red numbers which had read 8:45 am before it disappeared.
"Woops..." said Sango, grinning sheepishly. She hopped onto her bed and snuck under the blankets, falling back to sleep almost instantly.
"Good morning..." I mumbled, laying down again to sleep again. I was almost asleep when thoughts of Hiten passed through my mind and I sat up, suddenly wide awake, with a jolt. My date...
Rin stared at my quizzically. "What's wrong Kagome?" she asked sleepily.
"My date!" I screeched fearfully. I didn't want to go!
Sango sat up suddenly. I had obviously woken her up. "Wha-?" she asked.
Rin began to giggle at Sango's sleepy, confused and stupid expression. Even I began to giggle as well...
Sango looked around at us confused. "What?" she asked again, a little more awake this time.
I realized again what I had shrieked again. "My date!" I shrieked again, while stopping the giggling.
Sango shook her head then looked at me. She blinked hard. "Oh ya! With Hiten right?" she asked.
Rin rolled her eyes. "Well, duh Sango! It was practically our 'hot' topic last night before we watched the movies!" she said, as if stating the obvious.
"I know that!" Sango said, glaring at Rin. "What I want to know though is why she's still so scared about it! I thought we had agreed for her to tell him the truth –that she likes Inu-yasha, not him!"
I blushed. "I-I don't like Inu-yasha!" I stuttered, embarrassedly.
Rin tapped her chin. "Good point, San." Rin said.
"I don't like him that way!" I defended myself, getting even redder in the face than before.
Sango rolled her eyes at me. "Oh come on, Kagome! You told us yourself that guys kissed like, twice!" she exclaimed.
"Ya, Kagome! Asides, there's nothing wrong with liking him! I mean –I'm dating his brother! And Sango likes that pervert, Miroku!" Rin said.
Now Sango was the one to go red. "I don't like Miroku that way! Asides –don't drag that in! That has nothing to do with this..." she said, being very flustered.
Rin and I began to giggle madly. Sango looked at us funnily –before laughing with us. We rolled around giggling for like, five minutes before getting up.
"Come on," Sango said, catching her breath. "Let's go get breakfast."

Inu-yasha's
Mind
It was 9:00 am now, and I was angry! I couldn't think of anything to do... For my plan to do something about that date between Kagome and Hiten that is. What was I going to do?
I snapped my fingers as I got an idea. I grabbed my phone and dialed the cell phone number that belonged to my best friend, Miroku. He'd know what to do!
"Miroku here."
I grinned as I heard him speak. "Miroku get over here now! I need your help on something." I told him sternly.
"Oh, hey Inu-yasha. Sure, I can be over there in 10 minutes." He said. He paused for a second. "What's this about?"
"I'll tell you when you get here."
"Ok," He said. "See ya."
There was a beep as I heard him hang up. I clicked down on my phone and smiled. I know he'd help. Both of us hated Hiten's guts. He'd love to help me sabotage his date.
But there's another reason why you hate him, a little voice spoke up from me. It's cuz of Kagome. I gritted my teeth together. This little voice was getting annoying! SO what! I yelled right back. Miroku doesn't have to know that!
I stood up shaking my head, fed up with talking to myself. Since when did I have a conscience? I began to head down stairs, knowing Miroku probably would be here earlier than ten minutes since he only lived a block away from me.
Just as I stepped upon the bottom stair –the door bell rang. I looked at my watch. 6 minutes.
I quickly opened the door. "Hey Miroku," I said. "Come on in."
Miroku stepped in and kicked off his shoes. "Ok Inu-yasha," He said looking at me. "You probably called me over cuz you help on something or else you would have told me on the phone why you called. What do you need help on this time?" He crossed his arms over his chest, raising his eyebrow at me but still smiling.
I grinned. "I'll tell you in the kitchen." I said. We walked in there –Miroku obviously knowing where it is. We'd been best friends since we were like, four.
He sat down on a stool, and leaned his elbows on the island. "Tell me!" he said.
"Ok, I will." I said. I explained the whole thing about the date and how we should sabotage it or something.
When I was done, Miroku just kept grinning and shaking his head while laughing silently. "Oh Inu-yasha," he said laughing even harder. "You got it bad!" He finally looked at me, his eyes laughing as well.
"What?" I said raising an eyebrow. Did he know? I hoped not. Maybe he won't say anything about Kagome… I prayed secretly.
"Kagome, you idiot! You like her –a lot!" He exclaimed. "Don't deny it –you know you do! I know you do!"
I blushed fiercely. "No—"I began to say but he cut me off. What if he told everyone?
"Stop it Inu-yasha! Admit it! I won't help you if you don't admit it." He ordered putting his hands on his hips mockingly.
"What!" I exclaimed angrily. "That's not fair!"
"Actually it's perfectly fair."
I got an idea. This would definitely bring Mr. High and Mighty down. "I'll admit it –if you admit to your feelings for Sango." I taunted. I smirked evilly.
He grinned right back. "Of course I like Sango!" he said happily.
My mouth dropped open. Now I had to admit to my feelings? Get it over with, that little voice said again. This time –I gave in.
"OK, ok..." I admitted. I blushed. "I... I think I like Kagome. A lot."
Miroku grinned in triumph. He threw his fist up in the air, as if he had just won something. Well, I wasn't usually open with my emotions. So this might be a big deal for him to hear this from me. "I knew it!" he said. "Now we can get back to business –sabotage!"
I nodded while hoping Miroku wouldn't blab to the world about my feelings.
He went over to some drawers and pulled out some paper and two pens, laying them out on the island counter.
We began to plot –deciding to show up at the movie as well and totally ruining it.
"So what times the movie?" Miroku asked me.
My mind went blank. I didn't even know what movie they were going to!
"Sesshomaru!" I yelled. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs and burst into his room.
He was sitting at his computer –chatting with someone –and eating cold pizza. He stared at me. His eyes were blood shot and there was pizza sauce all around his mouth, making him look pretty stupid. "What?" he asked point blankly.
"What movie is Kagome and Hiten going to tonight? And what time?" I asked.
He looked at me funny. "Why do you wanna know?" he asked.
"I just... Do!" I said angrily. I hated it when he would question me. "Now what movie are they going to?"
He turned back to his computer and typed something to whoever he was talking to on msn. I looked closer –it was Rin. I recognized that e-mail: fluffys-star1. She had made me add her a little while back just for fun. She had made an e-mail dedicated to him –since she liked him so much (I don't know why she liked him! He was so emotionless.).
He turned back to me. "They're going to see The Forgotten, at 7:30 pm tonight." He said.
I smiled. "Thanks." I said running from the room back to where Miroku was. I told him what movie and the time.
We began plotting again –deciding to talk through out the whole movie really loudly, eating popcorn loudly and throwing it everywhere –oh, and if Hiten got too friendly with Kagome, we were going to totally disturb them! I couldn't wait!
-----------------------------
Kagomes
mind
I looked at the clock nervously. It was now 5:00 pm –only 2 and a half hours till the movie. He'd probably come early since we'd want to get good seats in the theater and stuff, so he'd probably be here from around 6:30 to 7:00. What was I going to say?
"Come on, Kagome!" Sango said. "We need to put your makeup on and stuff."
I stared at her. Rin had gone home hours ago cuz she had a date with Sesshomaru –he was making her dinner –but Sango had stayed to help me get ready and stuff. "But the date's not for hours!" I exclaimed.
She raised an eyebrow at me. "You still need to get ready. I won't be surprised if he shows up like, an hour early."
"Why would he do that?" I asked, quite puzzled.
"So you guys can chit-chat! He'll probably want to hang out at your house before the movie." She said.
"Why?"
"You ask too many questions," she sighed. "He just will. I have a feeling."
"OK then..." I said. I didn't think I was up for chit-chat. There'd probably be a lot of those 'awkward' silences.
"Now, stay still. I'm doing your eye makeup." Sango said searching through my makeup bag and pulling out stuff.
I closed my eyes, and felt as she put on the eye liner, mascara, and eye shadow. She hadn't done my hair yet –but we had already picked out my outfit. Actually, it was mostly her since for some dumb reason, she was excited about this date. She should be going on it –not me!
"There," she said, very satisfied. "You don't need lipstick –just put some lip gloss on. Unless you plan n kissing him with you don't, right?"
I shook my head almost violently. "I hope he doesn't try to kiss me!" I shrieked. This was Hiten we were talking about! Hiten and I had been friends since we were 12!
"He might," Sango said shrugging. "But if you don't want to –just don't let him."
"OK..." I said. I closed my eyes and sighed. I felt her grab my hair and start fiddling with it. For some dumb reason, Sango adored doing hair. She'd always do my hair or Rin's hair –even her brother Kohaku's hair (Kohaku had hair that was a bit shorter than shoulder length)!
I opened my eyes again and saw that she had did my hair in a high pony tail. It actually looked pretty good –since Sango usually did hair very, very weirdly.
I smiled at my reflection. Maybe, I could do this.
An hour and 56 minutes later...
Ding Dong!
The ring of the door bell rang in my ears, and I jumped a little. I'm so nervous… I don't want to do this! My stomach turned in knots nervously as Sango and I made our way down stairs.
Only minutes ago, Sango had thought up a plan just in case the date started to go down the drain –I would say I had to go to the bathroom and phone her. I would then make my way back to the movie and she would phone me and pretend that something bad had happened. She would take me home, and everything would be fine.
I opened the door, while plastering a fake smile upon my face. "Hi Hit..." I began to say but was cut off completely by surprise, as I felt his lips press to mine. I just stood there for the 10 seconds before he pulled away smiling at me.
"Hey Kagome," he said in a breathy tone. "You look nice."
Ok, I had worn this shirt before, and he had seen it. It wasn't new or anything! My jeans were my favorite faded ones, and for shoes I just wore my DC's. Very casual.
"Umm... Thanks! So do you." I responded, nervously.
"We better get going. Come on!" he said. He took my hand –which made me even more nervous since if he had already kissed me, what was he going to do during the movie? –and leaded me out to his car. It was a dark Subaru. I quickly slipped into the passenger's seat; him in the drivers. He started the car, and away we went.
God, there wasn't any way I could turn back now. I don't think I would be able to go through with the plan of telling him I didn't like him that way! It'd probably hurt him...
-----------------------------
Inu-yashas
mind
I looked at my watch, not so patiently any more. "Where the hell are they?" I snarled.
It was 7:14, and the movie would be starting soon. I knew that Kagome didn't live that close to here since she lived practically out of town, but still! Hiten could've picked her up earlier!
"Jeez, Inu-yasha. Calm down. They'll probably be here any minute now." Miroku said.
Just as he said, a dark blue Subaru pulled up. I could see Hiten and Kagome in it –and to my glee, Kagome looked really scared. I hope she was scared of Hiten!
We quickly turned around so they wouldn't see us, and headed into the theater while buying our 2 tickets.
I glanced behind us, smiling as I saw them buy their two tickets as well.
"Umm, I'll get the seats." I heard Kagome say nervously. She took her ticket from Hiten and headed quickly towards the theater. She showed her ticket to the guy and slipped into The Forgotten.
"I'm going to get some popcorn." Miroku said heading towards the snack counter.
"Ok." I said. I bolted into the theater and looked around. I spotted Kagome easily since barely anyone was there. I walked up the aisle and sat two rows behind her –hoping she hadn't spotted me.
Miroku came in a minute later. He ran up the aisle, and slipped in beside me.
I looked at the door, and glared Hiten (he couldn't see me) as he entered the theater, and waved to Kagome. I watched as she gave a pitiful wave in return –and how she slumped down further in her seat. Maybe... Maybe she didn't like him at all!
"Hi Kagome." I heard him say. He sat down next to her, and just then the movie began.
I probably would've liked it if I had actually watched instead of Kagome's back, but I could always see it another time.
The movie went on, and Miroku and I talked VERY loudly, and chewed our popcorn with our mouth open.
Miroku and I began to laugh silently, as we watched Hiten keep glancing back at us angrily whenever we'd do something just when he'd be about to kiss Kagome or slip his arm around her shoulder. I swear I saw Kagome glance back at us almost in thanks once or twice during the movie.
When the movie ended, I watched as Hiten get up. For some reason he was shaking. He made his way down the seats, while dragging Kagome with him.
We followed them out.
"Oh god, I bet he's mad!" Miroku whispered, laughing.
I laughed as well. "He probably is! We just ruined his date with Kagome!" I said.
We started to laugh harder –quite loudly.
Suddenly, just when we were following them outside, Hiten spun around and faced us; his eyes blazing. "You bastard!" he snarled making his way towards me. "You jealous freak! You just ruined my date with Kagome, cuz you were mad that she didn't go on a date with you!" He yelled.
I clenched my teeth, feeling the eyes of tons of people staring at us –including Kagome. "It doesn't look like she even wanted to come on a date with you Hi-ten!" I snarled right back. "She was probably glad I ruined your date!" I gave him my usual smirk. I barely had to look down at him… He was only about an inch shorter than me.
"BASTARD!" He yelled, suddenly punching me in the nose.
It caught me by surprise. I heard lots of people exclaim. I reached my hand up to my nose, feeling the blood beginning to gush out. "That's it..." I snarled. I clenched my hands into fist, and punched him in the gut, then in the cheek, knocking him back.
He groaned in pain but just attacked right back, practically jumping on me.
"Inu-yasha!"
I heard someone yell my name, as we fought. I also heard some people beginning to chant "Fight! Fight! Fight!" I only glanced around a bit to see some guys form my school.
Just when Hiten bit me on the arm and I kicked him in the nuts, I watched as Kagome pushed between us.
"STOP!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, which hurt my ears quite a lot.
She turned to me. "I'm taking you home." She said.
