I'm Still Here Chapter 6:Surprise!
Disclaimer:I don't own Inu-Yasha
"Kagome!Kagome!"
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. Her head hurt all over and her back did too. She lifted her hand up to her forhead only to feel something soft and wet. She tried to sit up but something pushed her down again.
"You shouldn't be trying to sit up just stay still." Kagome looked up and saw Yuka hovering over her.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Well I don't know for sure," Yuka began while taking the cloth off Kagome's head,"but I think you hit your head on something.There is a cut on your forhead."Yuka had applied the cloth to Kagome's head again,"We all came downto show you are dresses and we found you out cold on the ground."
A million thoughts went through Kagome's head she tried to sort through them all and figure out what happened."I remember now! I saw something in the fireplace I went to get it and hit my head on the mantle."
"Ouch! Well at least your okay now."Yuka said.
"Where are the others?" Kagome asked.
"Ayumi went to call Hojo and Eri went to make tea for when you got up." Yuka replied.
"Tea is ready!"came the voice of Eri."Oh, Kagome it's good to see your up.Would you like some tea?"
"Sure."Kagome said.
"That Hojo! Could reach him on his pager,home phone or cell phone!" Ayumi said coming into the room."Kagome your up!Thank goddness your alright!"
The four girls sat together drinking tea and talking for the next 15 minutes.
"So Kagome what do you think of our dresses?"Yuka finally asked, the three girls stood up. Kagome was amazed the plain purple dresses they had before now looked completly different.The dresses had a light pink lace going around the bottom of the skirt and around the waist. The one around the waist also had two purple bows one on each side. In the front each girl had a gem stone with a gold border. Yuka had a ruby. Eri a sapphire, and Ayumi had an emerald. And finally a thin line of pink lace around the top.
"You girls look amazing!I can't believe those are the same dresses!" Kagome said.
"Couldn't have done it without you Kagome!" Ayumi said happily.
About an hour later Kagome left and started to head home.When she arrived she was surprised to see Hojo's car parked out front. She ran up the stairs and saw him talking to her mother.
"Kagome there you are. Hojo has been waiting for a while for you to get home."Her mother said.
"Sorry." Kagome said, although she shouldn't be Hojo never told her he was coming over.
"It's alright I haven't been waiting that long.But I do have a surprise for you Kagome!"Hojo said happily.He came over and took Kagome's hand and started to walk down to his car. They drove for a while in silence.Kagome looked out the window and tried to figure out what had happened when she knocked her head. Was it just a dream? A feeling? She didn't know and she didn't have time to think about it because the car had stopped.
Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder,"Kagome are you alright?"Hojo asked.
"Oh I'm sorry.I guess I'm a little sleepy."she replied and turned to face Hojo.
"Okay if you say so." Hojo sighed.
Kagome scratched the back of her head felling stupid but when she did,"Ow!"
""What's wrong?"Hojo asked.
Kagome looked at her hand ,no blood, but then she remembered she had a bump on the back of her head,"I forgot, I hit my head on Eri's mantle today."
"Are you alright?Let me see.Why didn't you call me?"Hojo said in one breath.
"I'm fine. Sure you can see and Ayumi tried to call you but couldn't." Kagome replied.
Hojo was feeling around the back of Kagome's head when she realized where they were,"Hojo why are we at the gown shop my dress wonn't be ready until tomorrow at five?"
"Well, first things first, your head seems fine the pain should go away soon.Second.."Hojo reached into the back seat of his car and pulled out a suit,"I wanted to show you my suit. And third is your surpise." Hojo got out of the car, walked around and opened Kagome's door. together they walked up to the dress shop.
"Ah there you are!Please follow me."the man at the front desk said.He took them into the back of the shop and right in the middle of the room was the most beautiful dress Kagome had ever seen,"Here is your dress madame."
"It's...it's beautiful!"Kagome said. The top was starpless and heart shaped and the skirt was a sweep train. the dress had white and silver embroided designs al around the dress.A veil was beside it.Hojo stepped infront of Kagome andopened a box inside was a beautiful perl necklace and bracelet."Hojo I don't know what to say...Thank you!"
The dress maker packed up the dress and Kagome and Hojo left. When they arrived back at Kagome's house Hojo gave her a kiss and drove off. Kagome so happy if she died right now she wouldn't care. She ran up the stairs with her dress in her hands, she couldn't wait to show her family. But when she got to the top she froze standing only about a meter away was...
