Kagome and Inuyasha walked to school together. It was awkward at first, she felt nervous when she met him outside her house. But all her worries had gone as quickly as they had come when he slipped his hand into hers. She couldn't contain her bright smile, happiness and excitement filling her heart. She couldn't believe that Inuyasha and her were a couple now! She felt great, better than ever!
They had talked the whole way over, never wanting leave each other's eyes. She would remember last night forever!
Kagome had gone on a short date with Inuyasha, being Sunday and all. She remembered when she arrived home, she ran to her room upstairs, trying to jump three stairs at a time. She had grabbed the phone and called Sango, both girls screaming with joy at the news.
Inuyasha called her at about, seven o'clock, telling her if she wanted to go out with him.
"You know, a short date, since we got school tomorrow." Kagome wanted to laugh out her butterflies.
"Okay, let me just tell my mom."
He picked her up, shortly.
They had gone to go eat at a diner, which Kaome LOVED the chili-cheese-fries she had ordered as an appetizer, barely leaving Inuyasha any for him to eat off of. Later on, they had walked around a park, sitting on a merry-go-round.
"So, did you eat enough?" Kagome scoffed.
"I didn't eat that much!" Inuyasha begged to differ.
"Right. You ordered the same thing I did, AND had dessert." Kagome turned her head.
"I told you I was hungry." Inuyasha chuckled, poking a finger at her stomach.
"Keep eating like that and you won't fit in that cheer uniform." Kagome turned to him in slight anger.
"Thanks, but I'm not fat!" Inuyasha laughed, keeping his finger at her stomach.
"Like I said, soon you won't fit in your uniform." Kagome hit him on the shoulder.
"You wouldn't talk to me if I was fat!" Inuyasha rubbed his shoulder, it hadn't hurt him at all.
"No. Just means I won't take you out anymore." Kagome hit him again.
"Inuyasha!" He kept laughing.
"I'm kidding! It's a joke!" Kagome crossed her arms, looking the other way.
"It's not funny!"
Inuyasha couldn't help but just stare at her. Her angry pouts were just…God! He liked her, he really liked her, a lot!
"You know I don't think you're fat." Kagome turned to him, her eyes narrowing.
"Really? I dunno, I'm gonna have to go home and try on my uniform." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Really. If anything you're far away from that." Kagome managed a small smile.
"Well, if you really think so." Inuyasha half grinned.
They sat in silence for just a minute, Inuyasha cleared his throat, wanting to say something.
"You know Kagome, I've been thinking." Kagome turned to him, excitement in her eyes.
"What about?" Inuyasha kept his eyes on the stars above them.
"About that whole, boy-friend thing." Kagome shook her head in anxiety.
"Uh huh, what about it?" Inuyasha tapped his finger on his chin.
"I think…" Kagome leaned in, waiting for him to finish.
"You think?" He turned to her with a wide smile.
"I think Kouga's pretty good for you, you should nab him." Kagome stared in slight shock.
"Really…I…um…okay if…you feel that way." Inuyasha nudged her on the shoulder.
"Really! Besides, he's a good guy, he'll take care of ya'!" Kagome sensed his game and grinned.
"Know what? You're right. I should date Kouga."
He watched as she stood up, an unsettling feeling in his stomach as he watched the stars in her eyes.
"I mean, we'd be a perfect match! The 'cute' couple, you know?"
Inuyasha nodded dumbly, half of him not believing what he was hearing from her.
"He's an athelete, I'm a cheerleader, we'd be great! Besides, he's strong, and handsome, and charming, and oh! Did I mention he had the most bluest eyes ever!"
He watched with a crumpled heart as she babbled on about Mr. Perfect.
'What have I done!'
He stood up and placed his hands in his pockets, idly staring and hearing her keep talking. She turned to him, a huge smile on her face. She hugged him tight, thinking in the near future, she would hugging Kouga like this from now on.
"Thank you Inuyasha! You're the best!"
Inuyasha pulled away from her and scowled. "I was kidding ya' know?" Kagome blinked.
"Really?" Inuyasha tunred away and began walking away from her.
"Yeah, but thanks for telling me how much you want Mr. Fucking Perfect! I ain't interested."
Kagome ran up to him. "I didn't know you were kidding Inuyasha, I'm sorry."
"Whatever." Kagome put her hands on her hips as they stopped.
"Then why did you mention him to begin with?" Inuyasha looked at her in anger.
"Cuz' you were supposed to say no, then I was gonna ask you to be my girl-friend, but just forget it! You got wolf-shit to think about!"
Kagome stared as he began to walk away again. She put her hands behind her back and smiled gently.
"Don't like it when the prank's on you, huh?" Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"What?" Kagome titled her head.
"You heard me." Inuyasha shook his head.
"Alright, I'm not following." Kagome advanced on him, walking slowly.
"You knew I was waiting for you to ask me, instead you pulled a prank, and it backfired."
Inuyasha shook his head again, not really believing what she had said.
"You tellin' me you knew all along?" Kagome smiled.
"You don't know who you're messing with, dog-boy."
He chuckled a bit, relief washing over his entire body. He leaned on a tree, staring at her.
"Well, since you shoved it up my ass, the offer still stands." Kagome turned.
"I dunno, I'll have to think about it." Inuyasha walked up to her at once.
"What's there to think about!" Kagome turned away from him.
"I dunno. How will I know you won't keep pulling these pranks on me?"
"I won't." Kagome stared at him, wondering.
"So then you won't care if I don't fit in my cheer uniform anymore?" Inuyasha looked away.
"Well, I don't know about that one…" She pushed him back.
"Inuyasha!" He laughed and grabbed her, pulling her into a hug.
"I'm kidding. Though, I'll give you extra points if you wear that just for me."
Kagome giggled and placed her hands around his neck, looking up at him.
"Well…maybe…that can be arranged." Inuyasha's ears perked up with excitement.
"Really!" Kagome grimaced at him.
"Are you crazy? No!"
Inuyasha chuckled and leaned down to give her a kiss, Kagome meeting him half way.
Kagome couldn't help but think about last night all day. The nice stares she and Inuyasha had gotten in school were a good sign to her, meaning they weren't confusing her with the 'other one'. Kagome concluded that the other students never would again.
Gym class came about, and Kagome stretched with Ayame. They had been giggling the whole time. Kagome didn't mean to brag, but could she help it if she was happy? Soon, their coach, Ms. Giddson, announced that they had some yell-leader tryout's during the weekend, and found about six good guys. She had also announced that they had gotten a new trainer, to help out during stretches and such.
Miroku and Inuyasha were sitting on the bleachers, not wanting to play any kind of sport today. Sango was on the track, doing sprints with her team, while Kagome was in the middle of the field, practicing with the squad. They decided to get closer, to look at them both. They sat front row on the bleachers, Sango jogging up to them, huffing.
"Hey guys!" Miroku was in awe once more, watching the sweat drip down her neck to her heaving chest. Inuyasha watched with interest as the squad began to clap their hands.
"What's goin' on over there?" Sango looked then back to Inuyasha.
"Them? They just got yell-leader's, and apparently a new trainer."
"Yell-leaders? What the hell for?" Miroku sighed dreamingly.
"So they can help pick up the girls. You know?"
Inuyasha didn't like that one bit, he wouldn't to see Kagome being lifted up buy some other guy, much less holding her by the ass. He sat back and grumbled. Sango laughed and leaned on the rail.
"It's okay Inuyasha, she'll be fine. They won't have the advantage of touching her ALL over. Besides, once they learn that you're her boy-friend, I'm pretty sure they'll back off."
Inuyasha squinted his eyes, trying to get a good look at Kagome, and the guy behind her.
Kagome was stretched her arms, when a yell leader came behind her.
"Hey, I'm Danny." Kagome turned and shook his hand.
"Hi, Kagome."
"Want me to help you stretch?" Kagome smiled.
"Sure. I need help with touching my toes, I can't place my palms on the ground."
"Sure."
He went behind Kagome, she slowly bent over. He placed his hands on her back and pushed lightly.
"There?" Kagome grunted.
"A little more."
Kagome began to breath, trying to focus on the ground. Suddenly she felt his hands disappear from her back, and saw a pair of shoes in front of her.
"Hey! You didn't finish." She got up slowly and whirled around, not bothering to look at the person in front of her.
"Danny!" She placed her hands on her hips and turned. She gasped and jumped, Inuyasha was right in front of her, staring.
"You scared the crap out of me!" He didn't move a muscle, Kagome smiling.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha?"
He led her away from the squad. Once they were a good space away, he gently, trying not to lose his temper, spoke to her.
"What were you doing?" Kagome tilted her head in confusion.
"I was stretching." Inuyasha felt his face hot.
"Who was that?" Kagome smiled.
"That was Danny! He's one of the new yell-leaders." He was gonna lose it.
"Why was he behind you like…why was he!" Kagome blinked.
"He was helping me stretch, that's what we do, we help each other stretch."
"Like that? For how long!" Kagome pondered for only a moment.
"I dunno. Until they quit, or…till' school's over?" Inuyasha was growling.
"I don't wanna see HIM or any other guy touching you!" Kagome grimaced.
"What? You're not serious, are you?" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her.
"Did I stutter?" Kagome stood shell shocked.
"Inuyasha! I can't-"
They saw Kagome's coach walking towards them, not looking too happy.
"Do you have a good reason talking to your friend here, Kagome?" Kagome smiled nervously.
"Um, he was just leaving Ms. Giddson." She nodded her head.
"See that he does. I won't have you leaving the squad for talking with your friends."
Kagome nodded and apologized quickly, turning to Inuyasha in anger.
"Now look! You almost got me in trouble!" Inuyasha turned his head.
"Keh! At least no one's touching you." Kagome wanted to choke him, badly.
"Inuyasha, I can't avoid the yell leaders, its their job."
"They paying them or what?" She scowled.
"You know what I mean."
They heard her coach yell at Kagome. "Higurashi! Two laps!"
Kagome gasped and gave Inuyasha a dangerous look. Ayame came running to her side.
"C'mon Kagome, I'll run 'em with you."
Kagome thanked Ayame as they left the field, Inuyasha had began to walk back to the bleachers.
Lunch came around and the gang met up. Kagome wasn't talking to Inuyasha, she thought it better to ignore him for the time being. Sango eyed the couple, Miroku noticing the tense of them too.
"What's up with you two?" Kagome glared at Inuyasha, then turned to Miroku.
"Because of HIM, I had to run two laps. Then I was this close to spraining my ankle!" Sango wondered.
"How is your ankle any of his fault?" Kagome sighed.
"I need to stretch my legs, every part of them! No one wanted to touch me after Danny told them how mean Inuyasha looked!"
Inuyasha scoffed, looking the other way.
"That'll show 'em!" Kagome was growling as she stood up.
"Forget this! I'm not hungry, I'll catch you guys later." She glanced at Inuyasha.
"Maybe Kouga can help me stretch, he's not afraid of you!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes.
"Don't push it, baby!" Kagome smiled sarcastically.
"Oh, believe me, I'm FAR from pushing it. I'm just warming up!"
She left and dumped her tray, quickly walking out of the cafeteria. Inuyasha could feel his hands grip the table.
"Damn." He looked to find a pair of eyes staring at him. "What?"
Sango shook her head and ate in silence. Miroku just merely smiled.
"You guys are gonna last a lifetime! I can tell."
Inuyasha didn't feel like eating anything right now, he stood up and walked off, intending to find Kagome.
He had found her in the library. She was in the far back, reading some book, he didn't know. He walked up behind her, trying to surprise her.
"Go away. I don't wanna talk to you right now."
He flinched. 'How'd she know it was me?' As if reading his mind, she spoke.
"They didn't teach me how be a miko for nothing."
Inuyasha sighed and hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around her neck.
"Who's 'they'?" Kagome grumbled.
"When I was in Japan." Inuyasha kissed her temple and looked at her book.
"Whatcha' reading?" Kagome knew his game.
"Shakespeare's: Othello." Inuyasha hugged her tighter, then placed his chin on her head.
"What's it about?"
"It's about a man who gets so jealous he kills the woman he loves." Inuyasha grimaced.
"W-Why did he do that?" Kagome shifted out of his embrace.
"Cuz', he didn't want anyone touching her." Inuyasha sat down beside her.
"Point taken." Kagome kept reading.
"I should hope so." He leaned his arms on the table.
"I'm sorry, Kagome." Kagome glanced at him.
"Are you really?" He nodded.
"So I'm serious, sue me." Kagome looked at him boringly.
"You're far away from serious, Inuyasha. You're jealous." Inuyasha half smiled.
"Yeah, that too." Kagome put her book down, sighing as she rubbed her arms.
"You can't go around threatening people not to touch me. It's wrong." Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"I can't help it." Kagome smiled gently and scooted closer to him.
"Why are you jealous anyway? It's not like someone's gonna kidnap me away from you." He put his arm around her, pulling her closer to him.
"How do I know that?" Kagome silently giggled, wraping her arm around his waist.
"If it comes to that, I'll scream for you." Inuyasha sighed.
"I guess that would be okay." Kagome looked up at him.
"Besides, I'm with you more than half the time, they wouldn't dare." Inuyasha smiled.
"Bet your ass they won't." Kagome giggled and snuggled closer.
They must've stayed like that for the rest of the lunch hour, till the bell rang for the next set of classes, of course.
