Disclaimer: Sorry for the wait, I had I horrible case of writer's block, I hope this chapter turns out okay, it will probably be a little rough, I'm sort of at the end of my original idea and this is sort of my in between ideas chapter, but Yuna will have my head if I don't start writing soon so here it is.
Chapter 4 Easier to Run
Kagome jumped as the phone rang, she rushed to answer it.
"Hi, Kagome?" It was InuYasha.
"Hi this is Kagome." She replied shyly.
"Hi, it's InuYasha, um I was wondering if you wanted to get together for dinner tonight."
"Sure, where do you want to go?" Kagome was cheerful and excited to see him again.
"I thought we could just meet at Kaede's restaurant. You know the one on Fifth?"
"Ya I know which one you are talking about, that's right near where I live." Kagome responded, she began getting butterflies.
"Alright I guess I will see you around six then." InuYasha suddenly wanted to get as far away from the phone as possible.
"Alright see you later then." Kagome hung up the phone and sighed. Why does he make me so nervous? But it's a good nervous.
InuYasha leaned against the wall beside the phone. Slowly he tipped his head back and forth cracking his neck.
"See that's wasn't so hard, was it?" Miroku laughed from across the room.
"Shut up Miroku, you're just laughing because she's your cousin."
"Ya that's why I'm laughing, but also because you take this so seriously that's why you get nervous." InuYasha looked away and sighed.
"So are you going to tell her?" Miroku asked switching off the T.V.
"You're kidding right?" InuYasha looked up and smirked.
"InuYasha I'm not kidding you should tell her, she has the right to know." Miroku was suddenly serious.
"Miroku remember what happened with Kikyo? I can't hurt Kagome like that."
"You should tell her."
"Fine. I'll tell her, but not yet."
There hasn't been a day that I haven't wanted to go back and change everything that happened, but I guess it isn't that easy. I just couldn't stand hurting Kagome like that. But she's different from Kikyo isn't she? She would understand, wouldn't she?
"InuYasha? Hello wakey wakey!" Miroku waved his hand in front of InuYasha's face.
"Sorry Miroku I guess I zoned out for a second there." InuYasha said jerking his head up to look at Miroku.
"Hey, calm down, everything's going to be fine." Miroku flashed a smile. InuYasha sighed and nodded.
Simultaneously Kagome and InuYasha reached to turn on the radio, each in their own homes, not knowing of the others actions.
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward so
There would never be a past
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's so much easier to go
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame, to the grave
Linkin Park Easier To Run
Kagome went about her day not really paying attention to the words of the song. InuYasha was quite the opposite, hearing the words of the song he decided that it was easier to run and Kagome would not know of his past, that would be best.
Kagome looked at the clock 5:38 she blinked and looked again, yup it said 5:38. Where had the day gone she asked herself as she rushed to get ready for her date that evening.
Wandering down to the restaurant, amazingly five minutes early, Kagome noticed that InuYasha was already waiting. He was dressed in black pants and a casual dress shirt. (I'm contradicting myself again, but you know what I mean.) Kagome was glad she hadn't gone too formal, but wore her knee length kaki skirt with her tan sleeveless blouse. She wandered over to him and smiled sweetly. He leaned down and lightly kissed her cheek, his lips gently brushing against her skin. He took her arm and led her to a table, they laughed as he romantically pulled her chair out for her. Shortly after they had seated themselves, they were greeted by Kaede.
"Good evening, InuYasha, Kagome. Can I get you anything or do you need sometime to decide?"
"Maybe give us some time, but we can start with drinks." InuYasha said taking a menu from Kaede. "I'll a glass of coke." He finished.
"Ya I'll have that too." Kagome said, also taking a menu from Kaede.
InuYasha and Kagome looked over the menu in mostly silence, sharing only light casual conversation. After ordering, a sudden silence came over them. Kagome shifted uneasily in her seat. InuYasha cleared his throat. Finally their meals came and they began eating. Not even five minutes into the meal a woman walked by their table, InuYasha looked up as she walked past, his eyes narrowed. Kagome looked over her shoulder.
"InuYasha who is that?"
"No one important."
"Then why are you glaring at her?"
"It's nothing okay." InuYasha snapped.
"Alright." Kagome said quietly. They ate silently, both wondering what to say next.
Finally Kagome spoke. "So, has Mr. Sakagami gotten back to you about the job yet?"
"No not yet but it should be any time now. And thanks again for getting this for me."
"Really it was nothing."
Across the restaurant Kagura sat glaring at InuYasha. He will pay for what he did, I will make him pay, and I'll make his new girl suffer just like Kikyo. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed silently.
"Hello? Chief I've got him; he's here at the restaurant… Ya send them over, but give me half an hour to break the new girl's heart."
I know its a cliff hanger, the next one is coming up soon, I hope. Please review.
