Chapter Nineteen: Guesthouse and Seeing More Friends
"There is fresh food in the guest house. I had a feeling Sota would have a sleep over. So, I just put food in there for them to eat. Since you two are here, I'm giving you the guesthouse. Sota's friends can stay in the living room if their mothers can't pick them up. I have to take them to get ice cream, but when I get back, I expect you two to be in the guesthouse. You don't have to be doing anything. Trust me. I'm not pressuring you two." Then, Kagome's mom left.
"I can't believe she said that stuff." InuYasha nodded, still a light pink. Kagome nodded. "You know what would be romantic?" InuYasha's eyebrows rose. "If it were a full moon and you were not in your human state, you could carry me from the window to the guest house." InuYasha chuckled. "What?"
"Thinking dreams at the moment. I figure you want to go and visit your friends." Kagome nodded and went through her drawers. She picked a pair of shorts and a tank top. "What am I supposed to do while you are out?" Kagome laughed. "What?"
"You thought you were gonna stay? No, we are visiting my friends and I want to be able to brag about my fiancé the whole time. Go and put something of my father's on. My mom won't mind." InuYasha tilted his head and widened his eyes.
"What makes you say fiancé?" Kagome rolled her eyes.
"My friends would be sad that they missed the wedding. Besides they don't know that I really live 500 years ago. They never even knew I went there. They thought I was home with illnesses and had a gangster boyfriend." InuYasha nodded and went to leave. "Don't get jealous, but I told them about Koga and Miroku. They liked Koga out of all three of you because he told me he loved me. That was when you didn't say it." InuYasha sighed and left. Kagome changed and went down stairs, leaving the jewel in a jar under her bed. "It is nice wear something that feels like me," she whispered as she walked toward the phone. Kagome picked up the phone and dialed Ayumi's number. The phone rang a couple times before someone picked up.
"Hello," a voice said.
"Hi, this is Kagome. I was wondering if Ayumi was home. I am in town and was hoping if she would like to hang out with me while I am in," Kagome replied.
"Kagome, it is Ayumi. I thought you would never call. It has been weeks. Man, you must have been working hard at that village or something. When do you want me to come over?" Ayumi asked. Kagome glanced around.
"Come over now. I'll round Eri and Yuki up and we'll hit the town. If you still have your boyfriend, you can bring him," Kagome answered.
"Ok, bye, see you soon." Kagome said her goodbyes and hung up. She called Eri and Yuki. Yuki asked if Hojo could come while Eri asked if she could come with out her boyfriend. Kagome had answered hai to the questions. She hung up the phone and walked into the living room. She sat down on the couch. InuYasha came up behind her, scaring her.
"InuYasha, stop that." He laughed. Kagome sighed. "My friends are coming here. They are bringing their boyfriends. In Yuki's case, that will be her fiancé, Hojo. Tie your hair back." InuYasha nodded and turned around. It was already done. InuYasha was wearing red shorts and a white beater. "Sorry about my friends. They don't know that you are a half demon. It is kind of good that it's a new moon tonight." InuYasha glared at her.
"Would I embarrass you any other time?" he asked, sitting down next to her with a mad tone. Kagome shook her head and leaned on him.
"No, you could never embarrass me. It is just that they have no idea that you are half demon and so they would not understand the whole silver hair thing and having to wear a hat everywhere. InuYasha, the only reason I want to hang with my friends is that I won't see them for a while with the whole Ginta mess. I really don't want to go back. I wish that we could just stay here, but it wouldn't do anything. It would make matters worse." InuYasha started to run his fingers through Kagome's hair as she grew silent.
"Kagome, you can't run away from your problems." Kagome sighed. The silence stayed until Ayumi, Yuki, and Eri were heard, knocking on the door. Kagome jumped and ran to the door. She smiled and greeted them. InuYasha noticed two other guys standing behind the three girls, looking bored.
"Everyone, meet my fiancé. I would like to let you know that he was my boyfriend all those years back." Kagome's friends stared at InuYasha.
"This guy was the guy who broke your heart several times. You never told us that he was so cute," Yuki said. "I shouldn't say anything, though. Hojo is cuter."
"My boyfriend, Mark, is cuter. Kagome, you can keep you man." Kagome's eyes widened and InuYasha went to her side.
"I'm sorry. When did she ever say she was giving me away? I heard nothing about this," InuYasha said, placing his arm around Kagome's waist and looking at her. Kagome shook her head and shrugged.
"Go on. Let's see a kiss from you two. When did you get engaged?" Kagome looked over at Eri.
"Eri, we only got engaged months ago. He works at the same place I work. As for that kiss, he might not want to in front of others," Kagome answered. InuYasha smiled and kissed her. Kagome blinked in surprise. "Hello." Her friends laughed. Mark and Hojo smiled. InuYasha just chuckled.
"Must have been some kiss there," Ayumi muttered through her laughter. Kagome blushed, but smiled. They laughed at jokes as they walked down the street. They talked of their jobs, plans, and even the past. No one noticed Kagome's bruises. InuYasha laughed at the funny times, but was silent at the other times. When they went home, Kagome and InuYasha raced up the stairs that lead to the shrine. Kagome's grandfather was standing right at the top.
