Chapter 4: Cheering up Takes Time...First date...Surprise Visitor.
The rest of the night went by and morning finally came. The shone bright in Kagome's room and woke her up instantly. The birds were chirping and she could hear a faint sound from cars going by from the main street. She stared at her clock and it read 8:00 A.M. It was a Saturday so she didn't have to go to school until Monday. The smell of fresh picked roses were sitting on Kagome's desk. She walked over and found a note sitting on top of the roses. She opened the card up and found a little message from Sukii. He had asked her out on a date this evening for dinner and dancing. She blushed and her heart began to pound faster. She hasn't felt this way in a long time. She could barely remember the last time at all. It was something with her old crush and him saying a simple hello to her and she would just melt. Maybe this arranged marriage just might work out she thought to herself. It was a fresh start, new guy, new life, new everything without the hurt and sorrow she was feeling before. She put on a blue tank top and jeans to wear. She then put up her hair into a pony tail, then put some eye liner on. It wasn't much but she wanted to look more attractive for her fiancé. She laughed at herself as she looked in the mirror to see how good she looked.
She ran downstairs to fetch herself some breakfast and found Sukii already eating. He was wearing a simple white shirt and dark navy blue jeans. His hair was nicely combed to the side and he's eyes just gave her warmth inside. Sukii was very cute and she could tell he had many girlfriends in his life time. He was thin but not too thin, his hair was black and had wave to it in the front, his eyes were a beautiful dark blue, and he had dimples when he smiled. He had muscles and it was pretty sexy to Kagome and other girls their age. There was only three words to describe him: handsome, tall, and dreamy. Kagome sat next to Sukii and looked over to him and smiled. He looked up and smiled back. Mrs. Higurashi watched them glare at one another and smiled a bit, then gave Kagome her breakfast. Sota shortly joined and thought the two were being pathetic. Soon enough the whole Higurashi family were eating breakfast together. Nothing was really said and Kagome couldn't wait to go out with Sukii tonight.
"I'm looking forward to our date tonight" Kagome whispered to Sukii.
"I'm glad" he whispered back.
"What are you two whispering about over there?" an annoyed Sota asked.
"Not your business you twerp" Kagome said angrily.
"Don't start the arguing in the morning. I just woke up" Mrs. Higurashi said and then sipped her tea.
"You are a bunch of little brats" Tsuyashi implied.
"Thanks grandma" Kagome sarcastically said.
"If you ask me you are all immature" gramps replied.
"Is your family like this all the time?" Sukii asked innocently.
"No, thank god" Kagome answered.
"Good" he made a sign of relief by combing his hair back with his fingers.
"Yea..." Kagome giggled.
"Kagome do you want to go take a walk after we finish this breakfast?" Sukii asked.
"Sure" she blushed.
"What did I tell you" Tsuyashi whispered to her daughter.
"Yeah yeah yeah mom. You didn't mess her up" Mrs. Higurashi admitted.
"I once again succeed" Tsuyashi smiled sharply and left the table.
Kagome and Sukii both finished their breakfasts and left for a walk they had discussed. The day was starting out beautiful and figures it's going to finish it that way. They both walked down the sidewalk and were headed to the city park, where they were going to hang out for a while. It was cool outside and perfect day to go for a walk in the park. The two stopped at a nearby bench under a tree, that shaded the area. They sat down and began to learn about each other by asking questions about them. A dark cloud hung over head and others were just behind it. They didn't notice because they were too into exchanging information.
Back at Feudal Japan:
Inuyasha was hanging out at the Bone Eaters Well. He was just staring into the darkness and could only see Kagome's smiling face in the background. He wanted to go get her but he figured she wouldn't if he wanted her to. The hanyou understood the situation and he knew the consequences but the only thing he didn't understand was why he did it. Why did he hurt Kagome and break the promise he had made with her. He wasn't suppose to see Kikyo anymore and he did anyway. Was he trying to hurt Kagome on purpose? Did he want her to catch him in the act? Or did he want Kikyo more then Kagome? These questions kept repeating themselves in his mind and he didn't know which one was true and which ones were wrong. He had been staring in the same spot since last night and he couldn't budge if he wanted to. Sango came out of the woods and spotted Inuyasha staring in the Bone Eaters Well. At first she felt a rush of anger but then she softened up and walked over to the hanyou. She knew he was hurting as well and that he was regretting this with all his heart. Yelling at him wasn't going to change his mind but giving some common sense might do the trick. She stopped behind Inuyasha and moved to the side to sit next to him. He looked over with only his eyes and looked back into the darkness. He figured she was only here to bitch more about going back to Kagome and getting her back and he knew she was won't stop until he did.
"Sango..." the hanyou was cut off.
"I'm not here to yell at you anymore. I'm here to tell you that it's your decision to get Kagome back. I'm not sure how deep the promise you made her but all I know is that it really hurt her. I can't imagine how she is feeling and if I was her, I would want the person who hurt me to give me comfort and tell me that he was wrong and he would never do it again. But I know that is too difficult for you. All I have to say is what does your instincts telling you right now. If they are telling you to go after her, I would as hell go do it. Inuyasha it's your move now and what ever move you make, it's going to effect you and everyone in your life" Sango said and then left him again before he could say anything further.
Inuyasha looked down once more into the well and then back at Sango. Was she right? or was she wrong? He's mind was telling him to go and get Kagome and was this the thing he should do. Yes, he had to get her back. Sango was right but he was sort of denying it. He stood up and stood on the ledge of the well. He looked back were Sango disappeared to and then jumped in the well. The well glowed up and he was gone. Sango was watching from behind some trees and she did a little dance for her success.
"I did it...I did it" Sango repeated as she headed back to the others.
In the Present:
The clouds over took the sky and it began to pour without warning. Kagome and Sukii were too busy talking, they didn't realize it until the rain began to come down. Kagome screeched and Sukii laughed. She smacked him lightly on the arm and more laughter came from Sukii. They ran all the way home, dripping wet, and wondering what kind of lecture they were in for from grandma and Mrs. Higurashi. Inuyasha shortly appeared in Kagome's time and leaped out of the well to the doors. He opened them and rain drops sprinkled themselves over his face. His ears twitched and he ran fast to the house. Kagome and Sukii weren't home yet and they would be shortly. He opened the Higurashi residence doors and went straight to the living room to find Mrs. Higurashi, Tsuyashi, Gramps, and Sota all together watching the news. Everyone turned to the soaked hanyou and didn't say a word. Sota looked scared and he ran out of the room, knowing Inuyasha was going to get the surprise of his life. Gramps followed Sota so that he didn't have to witness Inuyasha's anger.
"Hey, is Kagome here?" Inuyasha was so excited that he was out of breath.
"Oh dear" Mrs. Higurashi said and went to go get a dry towel.
"And who might you be demon" Tsuyashi asked.
"Inuyasha" the hanyou replied.
"Ah! You are the boy who broke my granddaughter's heart" She hissed.
"Yeah what of it? I'm going to apologize to her" Inuyasha shot back.
"She's moved on to another I'm afraid" Tsuyashi dropped the bomb.
"Feh, yeah right" Inuyasha couldn't believe Kagome could get over him for only a day or two.
Kagome tripped over a crack in the sidewalk and had sprained her ankle. Sukii stopped running and picked Kagome up bridle style.
"You don't have to do this" Kagome implied.
"Yeah I have to" Sukii replied and continued to the house, carrying Kagome in his arms.
Back at the house...
"I'll be back" Inuyasha began to walk out until he heard Kagome's voice and another's.
"We are back" Kagome shouted as Sukii came into view with her in his arms still.
"Ka...go...me?" Inuyasha mumbled.
"Inuyasha" Kagome gasped.
With that, Inuyasha ran out and didn't say another word. This time he was the one suffering more. Kagome's mind was blank and she couldn't speak for those couple of seconds. Sukii was puzzled as ever and let Kagome down. The girl limped over to the door and called out Inuyasha's name "INUYASHA!" The hanyou didn't respond back and there was no sign of him there. She figured that he had already escaped in the Bone Eaters Well and went back home to his era. She felt so ashamed and hurt again. She didn't want him to know, to see, and didn't want him to know about this until she was ready. She closed the sliding door and turned back to the puzzled guests. Tsuyashi wasn't all that confused but Sukii didn't know the knowledge of Inuyasha, Kagome's old lover. She gave once glace over to Sukii and then she ran upstairs to her room. There, she opened the her room's door and found Inuyasha sitting on her bed. Legs crossed, arms crossed against his chest, and sword laid on the bed beside him.
"Inuyasha I thought you left" Kagome said in a quiet voice.
"I only ran because I saw your new boyfriend. I thought it was important that he didn't know about me and everything else in the Feudal Japan that you simply left behind you" Inuyasha became agitated.
"Excuse me but you must have forgotten that you were the one who hurt me. YOU didn't keep your promise. YOU hurt me. YOU left me with no choice but to come back here" Kagome's voice darkened.
"I didn't forget!" Inuyasha shouted.
"WHY DID YOU COME BACK!" Kagome screamed and Inuyasha backed up. Kagome softened "Why did you come back?"
"No. Goodbye Kagome. Enjoy your new life" Inuyasha said and then got ready to jump out but was held back by Kagome's voice.
"Answer me!" Kagome demanded.
"You really want to know?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah I would love to know why" Kagome answered as she crossed her arms.
"I love you that's why!" Inuyasha lastly said and was gone.
Kagome was stunned as ever. She felt herself weak in the knees and dropped to the ground on them. It felt like her heart had stopped and her breath was stolen from her lungs. Her eyes were wide as if she saw a ghost. Did she do the right thing? Was leaving Feudal Japan too sudden or just another episode that could have been fixed? The door opened and Sukii was in the door way.
