Disclaimers Notice: You told! You told that filthy halibut where I
was hiding didn't you! I work so hard to post up these chapters for you and
all you people can do is go behind my back and tell that halibut where I'm
hiding so he can slap me sillier than silly?! You all say yes? Oh.oh well.
I guess I'll build a bridge.wait there might be halibut in the water.or
salmon! Ok, I think it will just be safer to go to my personal
psychotherapist. Anywho, I don't own Inuyasha.
Authors Beginning Note: When last left off, it's easy to say that The Inuyasha gang was under some serious tension, and Sango is about to Rip off Inuyasha's head. Oh, and they were about three-four days away from Keade's hut. So, now without further a-do, here is this story, I posted especially for you! (Yah-yah, sue me, it's slightly corny, but it works for me!)
Chapter 10
Kagome's Date with Hojo
Thursday. Kagome was at lunch with her friends, when "The Question" came up.
"So Kagome, when are you going to ask Hojo out?" Kagome's head shot up in surprise.
"Wha.what?"
"You said that you were going to ask Hojo out on a date. Why not tonight, I heard a really good movie was playing over in the theater tonight. Why not ask him today?" Kagome's face turned pink.
"I well um.yah.I was."
"Oh enough of that! Look, he's right over there standing in line by himself. Why don't you go ask him right now?"
"Well.you see."
"What are you afraid of Kagome? I mean it's not like he's going to say no, I mean he's been swooning over you this past week, more than ever, so what's wrong." When Kagome didn't say anything, Yuka and Eri stood up and pulled Kagome to her feet. Arimi laughed, but stayed sitting.
"What are you guys doing?" Asked Kagome confused.
"Go ask him right now!" said Eri and Yuka at the same time giving her a small shove toward the line. Kagome took a few uncertain steps forward; when she looked back, her friends were sitting and gave her a shooing motion. She looked forward and breathed in.
Oh boy, what am I getting myself into.why am I doing this.maybe I should turn back.
"Hi Kagome!" Said Hojo cheerfully when she was standing right in front of him.
"Um.Hojo, I wanted to ask you something." Kagome said, staring at the floor.
"Uh, sure Kagome, what is it?"
"Well, I was um.wondering.that is if your not busy.if you wanted to go on a date later on today to see the new movie playing in the theater." Kagome looked up at Hojo, her cheeks tinged with red. Hojo smiled more brightly than when he had said hi to her just a few seconds ago.
Finally, Kagome, I was really beginning to think, that maybe.well maybe we wouldn't ever be together.
"Sure Kagome! I don't have anything planned around six, would that be a good time to drop by your place then?"
"Uh, sure. That's fine." Kagome said and smiled, yet once again one of those empty smiles.
"I guess I'll see you then." She said and waved as she walked over to her friends who were giggling.
"Soooo, what did he say?" asked Arimi.
"Well, basically, we're going to go see a movie at six tonight." Kagome said and went back to eating, but had to force her food down her throat.
But I don't love Hojo! Why am I doing this.because you keep thinking you want to move on.
She sighed as she got up, took her tray away and went for a walk.
The rest of the day for Kagome went fine. She had passed her last remaining tests, she had no homework to do and she was going on a date with a really nice guy. She should feel happy, but deep down inside, she knows she isn't, but she keeps hoping that she can just keep piling stuff on top of that part of her.
"Kagome! How was your day at school?" asked Kagome's mom as she walked in. Kagome smiled.
"Um, it went well. I passed the last few tests." She said wondering in to the kitchen to help her mother dry dishes.
"Well that's wonderful!" her mother smiled.
"Uh.mama, I kind of have plans tonight to go on a.um.date with Hojo." Her mother stopped and stared bewildered at her daughter. She shook her head, and continued doing the dishes. (Her mom did find out what happened between Kagome and Inuyasha)
"That isn't a problem, is it?"
"No, not at all. If that's what you want." Her mother smiled, a bit of sadness creeping into her eyes.
"What do you mean 'If that's what I want'?"
"Nothing Dear. I hope you two have a lovely time tonight. Where did you say you were going?"
"Oh, we were just going to catch a movie." Her mother nodded. The finished doing the dishes in silence. When the chores in the kitchen were done, Kagome went up to her bathroom and soaked in the tub. When it was five, she got out. She then went to her room to find something to where. She shook her head at the mess that she still hadn't had time to clean. She crossed her room and opened her closet.
What should I wear? Should I get really dressed up and wear the Kimono mama bought me last week, or maybe something more casual?
After thinking about it for a while she decided to dress slightly casual. She rummaged through her dresser drawers and found a nice, comfy, casual, but slightly dressy outfit. She put on a dressy pair of jeans with purple, pink and blue flowers and green vines twining down the sides of the leg from the knee all the way to the bottom. She also wore a semi-loose dressy shirt, which really went well with her jeans. Satisfied with what she had on, she looked in the mirror as she brushed her hair, than thinking about it, she put her hair into a loose ponytail, tied at the nape of her neck by a colorful ribbon. She looked sadly at the reflection in the mirror and shook her head.
She looked through her closet for a pair of shoes and pulled out a nice pair of high-heeled shoes. As she was putting them on, she heard voices downstairs. Her head snapped up to the clock.
5:53 a.m. She sighed and after getting her shoes all of the way on, she walked downstairs. She pasted on a smile when she saw Hojo.
"Hi Hojo." She greeted him. Kagome's mother had just been talking to him. Souta Kagome's brother, a boy with similar looks as Kagome, walked in, to see what the noise was about. Upon seeing Hojo, he asked:
"What's he doing here?" in a more curious, than rude tone of voice, but even so.
"Souta! Watch your manners." Said his mom sternly. Souta nodded.
"Sorry." He said. Kagome smiled. That was her brother for ya.
"I came to pick Kagome up for our date tonight." Said Hojo. Souta's eyes went wide.
"But I thought.." He stopped short when he saw his mother give him a warning look.
"What?" asked Kagome and Hojo. They had been facing Souta, Mrs. Higurashi behind them, so they had not seen the warning Souta had received.
"Oh nothing." Kagome's little brother said and went to plop down in front of the T.V. Kagome sighed.
"Well, I hope you two have a wonderful time out. Don't be too late." Kagome nodded. Hojo smiled and left for their date.
Authors Ending Note: o.k. That's another chapter down, though I don't think this one is done as well as I suppose I could have done it. But, anyways, this is how it is written and I'm not going to change it, because I don't know what else I should have written to make it seem better. Well, hopefully you like. I KNOW you'll all love the next five or so chapters coming up, he he he. You people better keep reading, other wise you'll miss all of the good parts.
