Thoughts 'italic'

In less than a week Kagome got her reply.

Dear Madam,

Might I have the privilege of buying you a coffee at Morning Glories in east side of Kyoto at 10 AM this coming Saturday? I'll be carrying a single yellow rose.

-Awaiting Your Response

She hastily grabbed a pen and paper and wrote, Time and place convenient. Looking forward to it. And sent it on its way.

It took all her mental control to not mention her "date" to anyone, since in her family word went around REALLY quickly. She barely allowed herself to think about its possibilities. There was no sense in getting her hopes up and getting hurt again.

For being her first date in eight months, she was actually relatively calm. She woke up only a few times Friday night and only tried on a couple of different outfits on Saturday morning. She finally settled with a baby pink sweater and a middle length skirt with a floral print. She fluffed her hair, threw some mascara on and brushed her teeth a second time before walking out of the door.

The long Saturday morning take-out line back up all the way to the door. It took her a while to move her way over to the tables. She scanned the place, trying to find a single yellow rose draped on a table.

"Kagome, my darling granddaughter. What a lovely surprise. Come here and give you dear old grand pops' a hug."

"Granddad? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked

"Well that's a fine how-do-you-do. And from one of my very favourite granddaughters at that." He replied

She rolled her eyes. "Where did you get that rose?"

"Picked it this morning from you dear grandmother's garden. God bless her soul."

"Uh, who's it for?"

"A lady friend, honey. It's the natural course of this life that your grandfather would have lady friends now."

Kagome rolled her eyes again. 'Sure', she thought to herself. 'You're almost 80.' "Um, you're planning to meet this lady friend here, granddad?"

"That I am."

At that moment, her heart almost stopped. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"Oh my God. I AM your date. I answered your personal ad… oh my God. I answered my OWN grandfather's personal ad." 'I mean out of all the ads in the whole world, I had to pick this one.' She thought as she felt her energy slip away so she dropped down on the chair nearest to her.

Kagome's grandfather looked at her blankly and then lifted his shaggy white eyebrows in surprise. He took her hand and said. "Now, now dear. It's all right. No needs to turn white like you've seen a ghost. This proves that I brought you up to know the diamond from the riffraff."

She swallowed back the tears that seemed to be her only choice beside flip. Their waitress came by and she managed to order a coffee. "Wait a minute. You're not a young fifty. You're not even young sixty, of goodness sakes. You're 77! And when was the last time you rode a bike? You haven't own a bike in like 40 years. And you hate dogs." She said heatedly.

"Honey, don't be so literal. Think of it as poetry, as who I am in the bottom of my soul. And, Kagome, I'm glad you've started dating again. Inuyasha was not on his best day good enough for you, sweetie." He replied.

"Don't give me the sweet talk. God, I've never been so humiliated in my life. Aren't you disappointed? I mean you're date is your own granddaughter."

"Don't worry about me. I have a four o'clock."

"What do you mean four o'clock? Four o'clock Mass?" She asked

"No, darling, a glass of wine with another lovely lady. Who couldn't possibly be compared to you, my sweet." He replied

Kagome couldn't believe it. Her own grandfather had more dates than she did. 'Oh my god,' she thought, 'this is SO sad.'

After that mishap, she drank her coffee that her grandfather ordered and left without saying another word. If this got out to anyone she would hide in her bed under the covers and never come out.
