Previously – Kagome was getting ready for her date with Hojo. She had no idea that Inuyasha was admiring her for the tree he was in, and Inuyasha wishes things weren't as they were between them.

The Kiss

Kagome was getting ready for her date with Hojo. Kagome got out her dress she bought with her friends the other day and put it on.

"Wow, you look great dear!" said Kagome's mom, as she walked by Kagome's room. While Kagome was admiring herself in the mirror, a certain hanyou whom was also admiring her. WOW! Kagome looks beautiful! Inuyasha thought to himself, he had a smile on his face and his cheeks had turned a rosy pink colour. I wonder why she is so dressed up? He thought.

"Oh yea!" growled Inuyasha, "She's going on a date!" His smile slowly faded and was replaced by a frown. That Hojo will pay! Inuyasha thought as he griped his Tetsuiga. Just then the doorbell rang.

"Got it!" shouted Kagome as she ran out of her room. She then walked down the stairs making sure she wouldn't trip and wreck her dress, and she slowly made her way towards the door. As she opened the door she was thinking you can do this! When Kagome opened the door it look as though Inuyasha was standing right in front of her.

"Inuyasha?" questioned Kagome.

"Who's Inuyasha? Are you feeling okay Kagome?" the person in front of her asked as he handed her some flowers. Kagome was shocked by what she had just said. Why am I thinking about him? She thought to herself. Kagome took a closer look at the person in front of her, and she then realized that it was in fact Hojo.

"Oh, Hojo sorry! I was just running and umm…..yea!" she replied. STUPID! You knew you had a date with Hojo! Kagome thought. "Please come in!" said Kagome.

"Thanks!" replied Hojo as he slightly bowed to Kagome then stepped inside. Kagome was just in the other room getting her purse and shoes when her mother came.

"Hello Hojo." Kagome's mother said.

"Hello Mrs.Higurashi!" replied Hojo.

"Nice to see you." Mrs.Higurashi said.

"Like wise," replied Hojo, "and might I add your daughter looks very beautiful. I see where she gets her good looks!" Hojo said quick wittedly with a smile on his face. Mrs.Higurashi slightly giggled. Is he for real! Thought Kagome as she over hear Hojo's conversation with her mother.

"Well I'll be back later!" Kagome said as she strolled past her mother and walk towards the door. Hojo was slightly blushing because he didn't know if Kagome heard the conversation he was having with her mother or not.

"Bye, nice to see you!" Hojo said as both himself and Kagome walked out thee door. Inuyasha had heard the door open and knew Kagome was leaving so he went to get a better view of Kagome. Inuyasha growled at the sight of Kagome with Hojo. He was ready to jump down and unsheathe his Tetsuiga, and surprise and un-expecting Hojo. But something held him back, Kagome will just sit me! Inuyasha shuddered at the thought of Kagome sitting him again. I guess I'll just have to wait for her to come back. He thought.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked Hojo as they were making their way to the pier.

"It's a secret!" replied Hojo as he winked at Kagome. Kagome just smiled. I hate surprises! She thought to herself, but I have a good feeling about this one!

"We're almost there! Close your eyes Kagome!" Hojo said.

"Do I really have to close my eyes?" asked Kagome.

"Please!" begged Hojo with a puppy dogface, Kagome laughed and closed her eyes. He looks like Inuyasha when he does that! She thought. Kagome walked forwards with her eyes closed, she tried to feel her way around but it didn't help. She almost trip, but luckily Hojo was there to catch her fall.

"Here let me help you!" said Hojo as her grabbed Kagome's hand. Kagome and Hojo walked hand in hand for a little while longer. Kagome was blind as a bat, but in the distance she could hear laughter and music. Where is he taking me? She thought to herself.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now!" said Hojo happily. Kagome opened her eyes to see bright lights and loads of people. Where are we? She thought. Kagome took a closer look and saw that there were rides and game stalls.

"The carnival!" gasped Kagome, "I love the carnival! How did you know?" said Kagome smiling.

"Well, your friends sorta gave me the idea." Smiled Hojo.

"Come on lets go!" said Kagome as she grabbed Hojo's hand and dragged him towards the nearest ride. Kagome forced Hojo to go on all the rides; she was so excited to be at the carnival. It had been a long time since she had done something from her own time. Kagome also won Hojo a stuffed bear.

"You aren't very good at these games are you?" laughed Kagome as she handed Hojo the bear.

"Why thank you! I love it!" replied Hojo in the most girlish voice he could make, he also bashed his eyes at her. Kagome started to laugh, she laughed so hard that her sides began to hurt and her eyes began to water. Both Kagome and Hojo were exhausted from all the running around they did at the carnival.

"I'm beat!" said Kagome.

"Well it is getting late," replied Hojo as he looked at his watch. It was almost 9:30pm. "I'll walk you home if that's okay?" he asked.

"That would be great!" Kagome replied. On the way home Hojo and Kagome talked about school and stuff. Hojo offered to tutor Kagome if she was falling behind. Kagome just said she'd be fine but thanks for the offer. When they arrived at Kagome's house Hojo didn't want to leave just yet.

"Want to stay outside and talk?" Hojo asked.

"Sure" replied Kagome shyly. Inuyasha picked up Kagome's scent and someone else's sent as well.

"She's not alone!" Inuyasha whispered to himself. He began to worry if Kagome was in trouble so he went to check it out. Kagome and Hojo walked around the shrine for a bit until they found a tree to sit under.

"Kagome," Hojo whispered.

"Yes?" she replied. Kagome turned her head to face Hojo. Hojo was looking straight into Kagome's eyes, and Kagome into his. It seemed as though nothing else matter, not even her seeing Inuyasha and Kikiyo kissing. Hojo leaned in to kiss Kagome but she turned away.

"I…..I can't!" whispered Kagome.

"Why not?" asked Hojo softly, "Is it that other guy? You deserve better!"

"I….." said Kagome, she was unable to finish her sentence because Hojo had kissed her. This time Kagome had no objections. Inuyasha is over me! So it doesn't matter if I kiss Hojo, I am just his second wheel. Thought Kagome. Kagome kissed Hojo back. She had no idea that two golden hurt filled eyes where watching her from above.

"Kagome………" Inuyasha whispered.
