Kind Lady

Chapter 3: Let's Skate

"Why does her friend have to be so nosy?" InuYasha thought with a grim look on his face. He shifted in his seat and slowly gave in to glare at the steaming chocolaty liquid as it swirled around in his mug.

"He came to the bar," Kagome said and nervously cleared her throat. He looked over at her and she gave him a small smile.

Sango immediately got a 'You're kidding!' look on her face, but watched as her face showed no signs of her lying. "Which one?" she asked and took a sip of her hot chocolate.

"Which one?" he thought and gave Kagome a bewildered look.

"Sango! Don't make him think I'm some kind of workaholic!" she exclaimed, a faint red tint covering her cheeks. Not exactly what he'd been thinking, but it was close enough. She could have been working at a strip bar, but she was to naive to even walk by a place like that.

Her friend giggled and waved a hand as if to just push the words away. "I was just kidding around with you. What were you doing there, Shizo?"

He tensed up at that and returned his gave to his mug. "Does it really matter, Sango?" Kagome blurted, startling the two.

"Uh, I- Sorry… I was just asking," Sango stuttered and looked guiltily over at him.

"My girlfriend broke up with me recently," he said quietly and looked up at the girls. "I was trying to forget it."

Sango's eye widened in surprise. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have brought it up!"

He chuckled and shook his head. "It's alright. I was going to end it soon anyhow. She'd been cheating on me for who knows how long." He heard a loud sniff and looked over at Kagome to see her clouded eyes rimmed with crystalline tears.

"I'm sorry, Shizo!" she cried and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him lightly. He blinked and gave Sango a panicked look. She patted the air and gave him a demanding look. With a jolt of nervousness he lightly patted her back.

"It's ok, Kagome. It's over now. You don't have to worry," he said and she pulled away, saddened face with tear streaks.

"But she cheated on you! That's not right!" she said clenching a fist in the air to add to her point. He lifted an eyebrow and glanced and at Sango as she groaned and smacked a hand to her forehead.

"It's ok, Kagome. Really!" he said and waved his hands in defense. She gave him a confused look, but nodded her head.

"I guess if you say it is. But I still say that is absolutely wrong!" she said and crossed her arms underneath her breasts, making them raise a little and catching his eyes. Sango cleared her throat loudly, catching their attention.

"How about we go out?" she asked and gave InuYasha a glare. "How's that sounds, Shizo?"

He swallowed nervously and nodded his head. "That sounds great…!" A smile light across her face, but her eyes held the kind of ferial glimmer that gave him the idea why Kagome had never really had a boyfriend. This was the most protective friend he'd ever seen in his life. He knew he'd have to be careful with her around. She might prove a challenge even with his true form out in the open. He just wondered why they didn't find it odd he had dog-ears.

Kagome stood up, taking their mugs and giggled. "Where should we go then?" she asked and deposited the cup in the sink.

"I think Shizo should choose since it is to cheer him up," Sango said and gave him a fake smile.

He felt a rare fear well up in his chest and quickly racked his brain for a nice place that wouldn't give her the idea he'd rape and kill Kagome if he got the chance. Bowling? No! Um… A movie? No way. People would think he was some kind of player. Ice-skating? Ding ding! That was the one! Since it was already cold enough out and it wouldn't seem like his previous ideas.

"How about we go to the Shikon Niwa? For ice-skating that is," he suggested, almost flinching at the other girl's harsh gaze.

"That's a great idea!" Kagome exclaimed and clapped her hands, making them both jerk their eyes to her. "You can borrow Gramps's things again if you want." He nodded his head, pushing himself up from his seat.

"That'd be great, Kagome. Do you want to go now?"

"I don't mind at a-"

"Do you still have that hat I left here last week, Kagome?" Sango suddenly asked, cutting her off, giving InuYasha yet another murderous look.

"Umm… I think so. Do you want it now?" she asked and titled her head to the side.

Sango smiled and stood up, smoothing out her shirt. "If you could. I don't really have one now."

Kagome nodded her head, heading for the living room. "Alright. I'll be back in a little." As soon as she was up the stairs, Sango whipped around, stomping up to InuYasha with an evil glare on her face.

"What are you planning on doing to Kagome?" she hissed and jabbed his chest with a finger. He took a few steps back and held his hands up.

"Nothing! I don't know what you're talking about. Why would I want to do something to her?"

"Liar! I can tell by the way you look at her, you like her. If you do get her heart, I swear on my parents' graves, if you hurt her in any way at all, you'll regret the day you were born! I'll make scalping a person alive seem comforting with all the pain you'd feel."

His eyes widened in surprise. This is not the kind of girl he'd expect when he'd first saw Sango. She looked like a bubbly girl friend that would hangout with Kagome a lot, but boy, was he wrong!

"I-I won't do a thing to her! We're just friends!" he exclaimed and almost let out a huge sigh of relief when her glare faded to a frown and she backed down.

She crossed her arms across her chest and watched him closely. "I still don't trust you." He swallowed and held a hand to his chest. She was scary.

"I got it!" They looked up as Kagome ran into the room, waving the magenta hat around. A smile spread on Sango's face and she took the hat.

"Thanks, Kagome. Now, how about we get going? I heard it might start snowing again today." Kagome face fell and she groaned.

She wrinkled up her nose as if smelling something horrible and glared out the window. "I hate you snow!" she snapped and pouted out her bottom lip.

InuYasha chuckled and went over to her, putting an arm over her shoulders and ignoring the huff from Sango. "Me and Sango can help you shovel again tomorrow if you want, Kagome. I have nothing to do. Right, Sango?" he said and glanced at her fuming friend.

She clenched her teeth together, but nodded her head to them. "I'd love too!" she said, plastering a fake smile on her face. Kagome smiled and hugged InuYasha quickly, letting go and skipping into the living room.

"That'd be great, guys! Thanks!" she called and poked her head back in, "And maybe we should go now. Just incase it does start snowing." InuYasha nodded his head and followed her to the front stoop, pulling on his shoes, Sango coming up behind him with a grumble. They put on all their winter gear and went out, stepping out into the now sun filled courtyard. It cast the snow into a shimmering state and Kagome gazed around in glee. "Isn't it so pretty?" she asked, looking back at her two friends.

InuYasha smiled and nodded his head. She was much more beautiful. He mentally smacked himself. He was starting to sound like a love struck fool! Glancing at the over protective friend next to him, he almost flinched at the look she gave him. Pure evil. He was going to have trouble with her… "So, do you know Kikyo too?" he asked her, receiving a hurt look.

"Yea… I feel so sorry for her! That bastard hurt her so badly! He didn't even give her a reason when she asked him why…" she said and looked at her feet as they walked, Kagome slowing down to stop at her side, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.

InuYasha cursed inside. That lying bitch! She was turning everyone against him! He'd think of a suitable way to blackmail her. He had penalty of dirt on her. He glared at the ground ahead of him as Kagome said something about his human form. He now officially had a split life… A split life! A grin erupted across his boyish face and he glanced over at them. He'd charm Kagome. Take her out to romantic dinners, woo her with gifts, and then tell her who he really was, and get her to believe that Kikyo had truly cheated on him! Then he'd show her off around school, get the bitch jealous, break up with the little wench, and be a happy and free, drop dead sexy single! He almost rubbed his hands together with an evil laugh at the thought.

"We're almost there, Cap'n Daydream!" He jumped and looked over at a giggling Kagome and fuming Sango.

"Wha-what?" he stuttered and blinked. Kagome finally burst out laughing and Sango groaned, rolling her eyes.

She flicked his nose and glared at him. "I said, we're almost there, dip shit!" He glared at her, but fought down the incredibly huge urge to choke her. Stupid bitch…

"Hey, Sango…!" Kagome chirped, stopping ahead of them and turning back to look at them.

"What is it, Kagome?" her friend said and crossed her arms.

She giggled and pointed a thumb behind her. "Guess who's here?"

Sango rolled her eyes again and sigh. "I have no idea. Um… How about Hojo?"

"Nope!"

"Koga?"

"NO!"

"I give up. Who is it?"

"It's Mir- AH! Pervert!" Kagome whirled around and her hand came in contact with the face of a very familiar boy. InuYasha squinted his eyes and growled. Semi long black hair tied into a short ponytail at the base of his neck, deep violet eyes in a post pain daze.

"MIROKU!" the two both yelled and then glared at each other. "You know him?" they yelled once again at the same time.

"Of course I know this pervert! He grabs my ass every fucking day! How do you know him?"

"He's… He's a friend of my cousin's!" A few feet away Kagome and Miroku stood side-by-side watching the two argue with bored looks. At his comment Miroku raised an eyebrow and blinked.

"Cousin? But, InuYasha-" he was cut off as InuYasha's hand smacked down over his mouth.

"Yes, his name's InuYasha. How can you not remember?" he hissed lowly, glaring at him. The boy swallowed uneasily, but nodded his head.

He pulled InuYasha's hand off and smirked. "Yes. I forgot for a second there. You didn't recognize you there… What was your name again?" InuYasha glanced at the confused girls near by and growled softly to himself. This monk was going to be the death of him!

"Shizo! I swear you have the worst memory ever, monk!" he snarled and smacked him in the back of the head. "And that's for touching Kagome!"

The monk raised yet another eyebrow, but chuckled. "Yea, yea. Sorry. It's been two years since I've seen you!"

"Whatever…" he grumbled and grabbed Kagome's hand, pulling her after him as they entered the gardens. She gave out a squeak and looked back their friends following behind, a grin on Miroku, a scowl on Sango. He was about to melt on the inside. Miroku had almost given away his cover! He'd kill him later if he had too. For now, he had to make Sango get that he was just her friend. For now that is. He felt Kagome's hand tighten around his own and he stopped, looking back at her flushed face. She ducked her head and he smirked. She was embarrassed that he was holding her hand. She really was that innocent! He cheered to himself on the inside and gave her hand a gentle squeeze, earning a squeaked of surprise from the girl.

Her head slowly came back up and he caught her gaze, noticing the confusion and nervousness drifting around in not only her eyes, but mixing in with her wonderful scent. "Umm… Shizo? Do you think we could take the long way? So I can see the gardens?" she asked shyly and nervously licked his lips. He bit his bottom lip to hold down a groan. She had no idea how sexy that was to him. He nodded his head and led her down the gravel path, taking a right turn to the long circle around the and through the snow-covered garden. He pulled her up next to him and entwined their fingers, glancing at her red but smiling, face as she gazed around at the snow-covered trees around them.

He watched as her smile grew and she gasped, pointing out a bird perched on a snowy branch, pecking at the fluff and letting out the occasional chirp. As if her smiles were contagious, he smiled to and pulled her closer to his side. She was sweet. Not just in her scent, but she was kind and innocent, caring more about others then herself. He'd figured that out when he'd first met her at the bar. It just kind of stumped him on why she'd work at a bar making drinks. She seemed the type to go against drinking even if it was a little. He opened his mouth to say something when she let out squeal and let go of his hand, running ahead, waving at Sango and Miroku as they stood, Sango yelling and the monk looking perverted as usual.

Miroku was something else when it came to women. After all the years InuYasha had known him, he never ceased to amaze him with doing the most stupid things he'd even seen a human possibly do. Sure, it was odd that an ex monk and hanyou were friends, but most people didn't even know he was half demon. He always used his human form around at school and things, only dropping it at home or when he went to scarcely crowd places for when he went out with close friends, such as Miroku. Sometimes he lost control of the spell and he changed with the most pain he'd ever felt before and couldn't put it back up for at least a day or two. That only happened when he overused it. Which he'd been doing lately, thanks to Kikyo's little show at the wreak room. He'd gone out to places with friends trying to cheer him up and he had to always have it up incase some one came over with something for him.

He snorted and went over to where Kagome was trying to calm Sango down with words, that didn't really seem to be working. Boy… This girl really hated anyone having to do with him. His human form really. "What're you yelling about now," he grumbled and flicked Miroku in the back of the head.

"He grabbed my ass again! And then went for Kagome!" Sango hissed, glaring at them both. Anger boiled up in his chest and InuYasha landed a hard hit on the monks head.

"You sick fuck! What did I tell you about touching Kagome?" he yelled and growled at him. Miroku let out a nervous laugh and rubbed his sore head.

He held up his right hand and the girls jumped back. "It's the hand I tell you! It has to be cursed!"

"More like your tiny mind is!" Sango snapped and grabbed Kagome's hand, pulling her toward the slightly filled ice rink. The girl let out a yelp in surprise.

"Hurry up, Shizo!" she called as they disappeared around a corner.

"Don't touch her, eh?" came Miroku's lecherous voice. InuYasha hit him again and sat down on the bench next to him.

He growled and glared at him. "When I say something, I mean it! Don't you know how to listen?" He clenched his hands into fists as he turned around with a pout.

"Do you not trust me, InuYasha?" he asked and gingerly rubbed his head again. InuYasha snorted and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Trusting you with a girl is like trusting a fat bitch with a box of chocolate. And I swear if you touch her again, you'll never have to worry about it again. And I mean in a painful way!" He added the last part when the monk's eyes light up with glee to quickly put that out.

He pouted ad mimicked his actions, crossing his own arms also. "So, what's the deal with you hanging out with innocent little Higurashi Kagome? Whenever you take a liking to a girl like that, it's either pay back or just for a little player fun. Which is it this time? Or are you truly in love with someone?"

InuYasha snorted at the second and third suggestions, but held up his pointer finger. "The first one bozo. Kikyo's going to wish she'd never even set eyes on that bastard Naraku. Once she sees me with Kagome, she'll either come back to me, begging on her hands and knees, or throw it off by turning Kagome's life into a living hell and staying this the monkey shit."

Miroku blinked a frowned. "You'd really do that to little Higurashi? But she's so… Innocent! I'm quite sure she's never had a boyfriend before, much less been kissed either. Are you truly planning on breaking her in such a way?"

The hanyou glared at him, but felt guilt well up in his chest. "Duh! She's the best candidate. Kikyo hates her guts for how perfect she is. And since I've so conveniently made friends with her, it'll be a snap!" he said and snapped his fingers to add to the emphases. Miroku shook his head and stood up, brushing off his clothes, a frown forming on his lips. "What's your problem, Miroku?"

"You, InuYasha!" he snapped as InuYasha stood up too. "I've know Kagome for quite a few years now and I don't know if I want you to hurt her!" he said harshly and shoved his hands into his coat pockets.

InuYasha blinked. He raised his hands up in a vague defense, a smirk gracing his face. "I won't hurt her like that! I'm not that cruel!" he detested and started for the rink. "Though I can't make any promises," he added in his head quickly and strode up to the two girls as they were about to rent skates. He slipped into line next to Kagome and smiled at her fondly. "Ready to have some fun?" he asked and she nodded her head, stepping forward to get her skates. He glanced back at Sango to see her glaring at Miroku as he took a spot next to her, but quickly turned back as he felt his eyes land on his back, boring obvious holes. He got his skates and followed Kagome over to the rows of chairs set up for people to use, sitting down and pulling his shoes off. Miroku sat down next to him and pretended to choke.

"Phew, man! Don't you ever wash those babies, Shizo?" he asked and waved a hand in front of his nose.

"Ha ha, Miroku. Very funny," he said flatly and slid his skates on, quickly lacing them up. He stood up just as Kagome finished and held his hand out to her. She took it and they made their way to the ice. "I don't have smelly feet do I?" he asked as they waited for the other arguing two to come over.

"Not from where I was, but I don't think I want to try and find out," she said and giggled as he gave her a hurt look. "I'm just kidding. I'm sure they smell fine! Now lets go!" she shot off across the almost empty ice and twirled around skillfully, waving to him as he watched, mouth open. Where'd she learn to skate? He shook himself from his thoughts and went out after her as she giggled and circled him easily. He reached out and grabbed at her, but she slipped away from him. "Can't catch me!" she teased.

He let out a playful growl as she stood a few feet away, sticking her tongue out. Oh, he'd catch her all right! It might have been a why'll since he'd been skating last, but he still was decent. He shot off at her, reaching his arms out to her as she raced ahead of him, ignoring the yells from their friends behind. They went around the rink twice in seconds and started on their third lap. Just as he was falling behind, she suddenly slid to the side and fell backwards, landing hard on her butt. He chuckled and skidded to a stop next to her, kneeling down.

"You all right?" he asked and she nodded, rubbing her back.

"I'm fine, just landed a little hard. Stupid sharp turn!" she grumbled and pouted out her bottom lip. He laughed and took her hand, pulling her to her feet. Not wanting to miss a perfect chance, he pulled her against his chest and lowered his face dangerously close to hers, letting out a long breath. Her face went red instantly and her eyes locked with his.

"Caught you," he whispered and leaned down a little more. Just as he could feel her short puffs of breath on his own lips-

"Watch out!" They jerked apart as Miroku came racing at they, waving his hands and yelling. He slid right in between them, hit the sideboard, and flipped not so gracefully over it with a cry. InuYasha let out a few choice curses under his breath at the monk and glanced back to see a fuming Sango glaring at him. She must have pushed him. He just prayed to god, Miroku hadn't told her that he really was the InuYasha she knew.
