As our love turns

Chapter 4

Kagome dropped the chopsticks that were in her hands. Did InuYasha really say what she thought he said? She didn't know what do think. Did he like her as in he wanted to date her or like her as a good friend and thought highly of her? Words were absent in Kagome's mouth.

"You're cute and fun to be around. I guess that's what attracted me to you. On a couple separate occasions I wanted to ask you out but you were already with someone. You're a great friend to me. When I saw you last at your open house I guess I sorta had feelings for you but by that time Kikyo and I had already been together a couple of months." InuYasha explained.

Kagome still didn't know what to say. It wasn't full blown feelings that would make him dump Kikyo for her, but at least he was attracted to her and thought of her in a good way. "So after all these years since school you thought of me and wanted to date me?" Kagome was in a state of awe.

"Yeah, pretty much." InuYasha sat back in his chair and stretched.

Kagome smiled. She continued to observe InuYasha's actions. He still didn't seem that upset, except when they were talking about his problem, and was very content. Especially since he told Kagome how he felt about her. Kagome looked at her watch and saw that a little over two hours had past.

"Hey, um…I should probably get going. Thanks for the ramen! It was nice seeing you again." Kagome said sheepishly.

"Yeah, it was great seeing you!" Both InuYasha and Kagome got up from the table. InuYasha walked up to Kagome and hugged her. This time Kagome was aware of the hug and hugged him back. "We need to get together again soon! I'll call ya. What's your cell number?" InuYasha winked as he let go of Kagome and headed out of the ramen shop.

"555-3254." Kagome blushed. She felt a little awkward now. Even though Kagome was overjoyed about hang out with InuYasha more now, it was just weird to her that amidst his girlfriend problem InuYasha acted cool and as if nothing was going on. Kagome shrugged it off and unlocked her car. "Bye InuYasha!" She shouted to InuYasha who was halfway across the parking lot.

"BYE!" InuYasha yelled back. He unlocked his car and sat down in the driver's seat. He couldn't help but let a smile overcome his face. InuYasha had just eaten ramen with one of the greatest girls that he knew. He knew and hung out with a lot of different girls but Kagome was different; he couldn't explain it.

Moments later InuYasha arrived at his apartment. It was quiet and barren as usual. Normally, when he wasn't in his depressed state, he would have all of his guy friends over to play video games or to play some poker. InuYasha plopped himself onto his sofa and stared at the wall. He couldn't get Kagome off of his mind but at the same time he couldn't help but think of Kikyo too. He now had two important women in the picture.

While sitting and staring on his sofa, InuYasha began to go over what Kagome said to him about Kikyo. Should he really dump Kikyo? Should he try and work things out? InuYasha began to think a little bit further into the situation. Bending over, InuYasha clutched his head and moaned. It was giving him a headache.

"I can't deal with this," InuYasha started talking to himself. "I love Kikyo. She's my world. I don't know what I'd do without her. Kagome does have a point, but she doesn't know what's exactly going on."

He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone. No voice messages or texts. InuYasha sighed heavily. He got up and went to his land line phone. InuYasha dialed Kikyo's number and waited.

"Hello?" Kikyo said on the other end.

"Hey sugar." InuYasha responded.

"Heya babe! What's up?"

"I'm sorry, I feel I need to make it up to you for what happened the other night. So how about I take you to your favorite restaurant tomorrow?" There was a bit of uncertainty in InuYasha's voice now. Ever since he brought Kagome into the picture he's doubted him and Kikyo. InuYasha knew he still truly loved Kikyo though.

"Sure! You don't have to do this, you know?"

"I know, but I want to do this. I love you."

"I love you too."

"I'll pick you up at six. Ok?"

"Yeah babe."

"Alright, I'll see ya then. Love ya!"

"Love ya too!"

"Bye." InuYasha hung up and smiled. He felt better now. Kagome's advice had some effect on InuYasha. He thought up a plan to see if Kikyo still loved him and had feelings for him. They would go out to dinner and InuYasha would just observe how Kikyo acted and reacted to things. If that worked then he would have to think of something else to do to confirm it.

With that InuYasha sat back on his sofa and this time turned on the TV. He prayed and hoped that things would work out and that he and Kikyo would still be together.

It was five thirty and InuYasha was sitting and waiting impatiently. He was waiting for time to pass by. All day long, especially when he was at work, InuYasha had been anxious and couldn't wait to take Kikyo out. He was taking Kikyo to Palmino's, her favorite restaurant. It was an Italian gourmet restaurant and the prices were not the lowest. InuYasha didn't care, this was his girlfriend and he loved her. He waited another five minutes and then ran out the door.

Twenty minutes later he arrived at Kikyo's apartment and walked up to her door. He knocked and waited for her to come to the door. When Kikyo did come InuYasha was amazed at how beautiful she looked. Her hair was slightly curled, but enough to be elegant, and her dark blue dress showed off all her curves and best features on her body.

"You ready?" InuYasha smiled as he took Kikyo's arm.

"Yep! Lets go." Kikyo kissed InuYasha's lips and followed his lead to his car.

Kikyo sat excitedly in her chair. It was her favorite restaurant and she and InuYasha always went to Palmino's for a special occasion. After the two ordered, Kikyo leaned in and kissed InuYasha on his cheek.

"So what's the occasion this time?" Kikyo giggled as she asked. Maybe I'm getting something afterwards. I should convince him to see if he wants to spend the night. Kikyo grinned.

"No reason. I wanted to take you here because I love you." InuYasha smiled and kissed Kikyo back.

"I love you too." Kikyo leaned into InuYasha and they both shared a passionate kiss.

InuYasha wanted to forget about all of the bad things that have been happening between him and Kikyo. He managed to do so but now he couldn't get Kagome's face out of his mind.

After a little while InuYasha started watching Kikyo's actions. Everything was normal so far. She was a little bit more giddy than usual but it didn't bother him. InuYasha was happy and content. Maybe he was wrong about doubting. I guess everything is ok after all. I don't know why I got so worked up and worried. InuYasha thought to himself.

While waiting for their meal Kikyo had moved her chair next to InuYasha's. She was rubbing her hand across InuYasha's knee and thigh. Gradually she moved her hand up and closer to his waist. Eventually she made it to his crotch and began to rub there. InuYasha jumped and then Kikyo started to giggle. InuYasha flicked Kikyo's boob in return. They shared one last kiss before the meal arrived.

During the meal InuYasha and Kikyo had one of their normal conversations. InuYasha was more than happy to see that things were fine. Kikyo was quite content herself and still acted as if she loved InuYasha.

When they were both done and ready to leave InuYasha paid the bill and headed on out. The night turned out better than InuYasha had planned. He knew he was going to sleep easy tonight.

"Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed it." Kikyo said as she kissed InuYasha.

"Anything for my angel." InuYasha responded and kissed Kikyo back.

"Would you like to come in for a while?" Kikyo asked seductively. She had her hands on InuYasha face and was moving them around softly.

InuYasha couldn't resist. "Sure."

Kikyo gave a wry smile as she opened her front door. She walked into the apartment and headed to her bedroom. She kept on looking at InuYasha seductively as if he was being led to the slaughter. InuYasha shut the door and followed Kikyo into her bedroom.

First they shared a few moments of passionate kissing before Kikyo threw InuYasha onto the bed. She then threw herself on top of him and began to kiss again. While kissing, Kikyo took off InuYasha's shirt and began to unbutton his pants. At the same time InuYasha unzipped Kikyo's dress and removed her bra. They both continued kissing each other as they made love.

Late the next morning InuYasha woke up and looked around. He was naked and in Kikyo's bed. InuYasha looked next to him and Kikyo, who was naked as well, was still sleeping. He wasn't planning on staying the night but he didn't care. While yawning InuYasha looked at the alarm clock and it read a quarter after ten. Carefully without disturbing Kikyo, InuYasha got out of bed and took a shower. He had a bunch of his clothes over at her apartment so he wasn't worried about what to wear.

By the time InuYasha had gotten out of the shower Kikyo was already up and making breakfast. "Good morning sexy." InuYasha said as he placed his arms around Kikyo's waist and kissed her neck.

"Hey there." Kikyo smiled. "I'm making pancakes. I hope you like them."

"You know I do babe!" InuYasha hit Kikyo's butt and sat down at the table.

A couple minutes later Kikyo walked over to the table with a plate filled with pancakes. "Enjoy!" Kikyo smiled and kissed InuYasha. "I'm going to get a shower now."

"Can I join you?" InuYasha asked playfully.

"You just got one!"

"So?"

Kikyo laughed and walked into the bathroom. InuYasha laughed as well and began to eat the pancakes. He loved Kikyo's cooking. Somehow Kikyo would always put or do something with the food and made it irresistible. InuYasha savored eat bite as his doubt of any trouble between them disappeared.

Later that day sat at his own kitchen table happy as a clam. Things were looking up and Kikyo still loved him. Even though he didn't need Kagome's advice anymore he still felt that he should still talk to her. InuYasha decided to text message her with his cell phone number and told her to call him.

Almost immediately his cell phone started to ring. Wow…Kagome really must be interested or wants to talk. InuYasha looked down and it was Kikyo. Though he wanted Kagome to call he was even more thrilled that Kikyo called.

"Yo babe." InuYasha said trying to sound cool.

"HEY! Lets go to the bar tonight! Its lady's night and I want to drink." Kikyo asked.

InuYasha remembered what happened the last time they went to the bar together and what she did when she went with her best friend. He wanted to say absolutely not but from looks of last night things seemed better. "I guess so. I'll pick you up in a few."

"Awesome! I love you."

"I love you too."

InuYasha ended the call and sighed. He could only hope and pray that what's been happening won't happen this time. Who knew if he could handle it this time around? Picking up his keys, InuYasha headed out the door and drove out to pick up Kikyo.

"Thanks honey!" Kikyo said as she sat down at one of the booth seats.

"Your welcome." InuYasha was getting very uncomfortable. He was afraid it was going happen all over again. Throwing it aside he ordered a drink. "Black Haus over ice, please."

"Alright." The bartender nodded and went to get InuYasha's drink. Once the bartender came back he looked over at Kikyo. "What would you like?"

"Yeager bomb, please." Kikyo said without missing a beat.

InuYasha looked over at her. "Isn't that a little much for your first drink?"

"So? Didn't you forget its lady's night?" Kikyo winked. InuYasha gave a half smile and took a sip of his own drink.

An hour passed by and things were going good. Kikyo wasn't drunk yet and no problems arose…yet. InuYasha smiled and kissed Kikyo's cheek. She flung her arms around his neck and pressed her lips hard against InuYasha's cheek.

Ok…maybe she IS getting drunk…at least no guys she knows are around. InuYasha thought to himself and chugged the rest of his beer after Kikyo let go of him.

"HITEN!" Kikyo screamed out.

"Hey girl! What's up?" Hiten said as Kikyo ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"Just here with my boyfriend drinking, you?"

"Drinking myself." Hiten laughed.

"Why don't you join us?" Kikyo offered.

"No thanks, I don't want to interfere with anything."

"It's ok! InuYasha won't mind." Kikyo grabbed Hiten's arm and had him sit in the chair next to her.

InuYasha leaned in a whispered to Kikyo. "Who is that?"

"Oh! That's Hiten. I work with him at the bookstore, remember?" Kikyo answered.

"No I don't remember." InuYasha started getting pissed off.

"Well…you should. You two met before, right Hiten?" Kikyo drew her drunken attention to Hiten who had just received his bottle of beer. He shook his head no. "Yes you did!" Kikyo paused for a moment. "Oh well…another shot of Yeager please!" Kikyo said to the bartender.

InuYasha was keeping his rage inside. He didn't like fighting, but if that guy swung first he knew that he wouldn't hold back. InuYasha grabbed his phone and looked at it. Kagome hadn't called or text messaged him back.

Placing the phone back in his pocket, InuYasha drew his attention back to Kikyo. She was talking away with Hiten. Talking more to him than what she did with InuYasha that night. InuYasha ordered one last beer. His depression was coming back and he could feel anger surging throughout him.

Kikyo was laughing quite loudly and was now flirting with Hiten. Hiten himself was getting drunk so he didn't even care what she was doing. All InuYasha could do was sit and watch Kikyo talk and flirt with this other man though it was tearing him up inside. He didn't want to make a scene so he kept to himself for the moment.

When his beer came InuYasha took a drink and began to think to himself. Why does this have to happen? I think this is it. I think I'm going to do it now.

Thanks to all you faithful readers for reading this chapter! If you have any comments or questions, feel free to review and I'll answer! Now…onto your reviews:

fluffyluver666: Thanks and keep on reading to find out what happens! I promise you won't be disappointed. Yeah…not a bad idea to give Kikyo alcohol poisoning;). She deserves it, don't ya think?

PatrioticPuppy: Well…Kagome doesn't really know everything that's going down between InuYasha and Kikyo. And if you think about it InuYasha is the one being thickheaded.

LoLiMJoJeSSie: You want more dramatics and heart-breaking scenes? STAY TUNED! The drama is far from over.

Imawesome: Continue reading and you'll find out what happens-.

EternalAffliction: I'm glad you like the story. I can only hope that InuYasha takes Kagome's advice too, but he's a guy so who knows. Well…since you're a new reader to my stories (or at least I think so) I'll tell you that I'm notorious for cliffhangers.

WintersBlaze: When you find out later what's going to happen in later chapters, Kagome will want to kick both InuYasha's AND Kikyo's asses.

xiDOREyoux: Yep, InuYasha is an idiot. Cannot agree more. I hope you liked Kagome's reaction. I'm sure I would be the same way if someone told me that they had feelings for me for years.

There is also a secret about this story that I won't reveal until later on when the story thickens more. Feel free to guess if you like. Until next time!
