Kagome went on the bus today and inuyasha stopped her in the aisle.
"Sit with me today, Kaggi."
She was startled at the cute little nickname. She liked it. She sat next to him shyly and lifted her bookbag strap off her shoulder. She put it on the floor.
"you're so quiet." Inuyasha said timidly. "You're easy to talk to since you don't interupt or anything. I kind of like that." He was blushing, but not too much because he didn't say anything goochy to her.
She nodded. She wished she could talk to him without him telling anyone that she could speak. But that wouldn't happen in a million years. Everyone in this school gossiped.
"So when is your birthday? Any time soon?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome sighed. Once again he locked her in a situation she couldn't get out of. Conversation. She didn't like to talk to anyone. It was always that way. But she had no choice. She nodded.
Inuyasha slipped her a pen and a notebook. "When?"
She took them and shakily scribbled down her birth date. '1988 August 16' She gave them back to him.
Inuyasha read them quickly. "Oh, that's a few months from now. What kind of stuff do you like, anyway?" He seemed interested in everything she did or wrote.
She shrugged but in her mind she was thinking, how about a house, electricity, food, or even a decent mom.
"Oh come on there has to be something." Inuyasha grinned as the bus started to pull out of the bus ramp and to the first bus stop. "Perfume, clothes... that stuff?"
She shook her head and turned away hoping it would give him the idea that she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. But it didn't. He tapped her. She turned irritably.
"So, can i have your number?"
She blushed wildly at this and he blushed along with her. She shrugged.
"If you don't um... want me to know your number that's fine with me." Inuyasha suddenly regretted his question.
She thought a minute. What could it hurt? She took the notebook from him and wrote down her number. He took it gratefully, still blushing. his eyes shined with embarrassment but he thanked her and promised he wouldn't give her number to anyone else. she smiled and nodded once.
When the bus reached her neighborhood inuyasha eyed her as she stood.
"I'll see you tomorrow, right?" he asked before she left.
She nodded and took her bag off the floor and got off the bus. She walked home slowly, watching the bus drive away. She smiled smally, then it turned into a big, blushing grin. She skipped into the house, hardly realizing her mother laying drunk on the couch and the trash around the house.
