Chapter 9- Night on the town

Kagome and Inuyasha, let's just say, they made up from the earlier argument. The way you could tell...they were holding hands still even after they drug each other out of the theater.

Now they were walking in downtown Tokyo hand in hand like a real couple. However these wonder times never last long, when your the only people walking around dark ally's and creepy streets.

"Inuyasha I'm glad we didn't drive walking is so much more fun." Kagome said skipping a step or two.

"Kagome I've been wondering," Inuyasha starting before sighing.

"What have you been wondering?" Kagome asked stopping dead in her tracks, making Inuyasha stop as well.

"Has that guy from the paint store called you yet?" Inuyasha asked covering his eyes with his bangs.

"No, he probably got a girl friend already. Why?" Kagome asked looking up at Inuyasha with a confused look on her face.

"Just wondering." Inuyasha said standing up straight, and then starting to walk again.

"Were you jealous of him?" Kagome asked from Inuyasha side.

"A little. But now that I know he didn't really stand a chance I feel a little better about everything." Inuyasha said giving Kagome a rare, true, happy smile.

"So where is this place you're talking me?" Kagome asked focusing on the sidewalk ahead of her.

"It's a little further. They have the best noodles around and a good sushi bar too.

"Sushi, yum! I love sushi. This is going to be a wonderful night." Kagome said letting go of Inuyasha's hand and prancing around like fool.

"Calm down Kagome. It's not that big a deal." Inuyasha said scratching the back of his neck.

"Yes it is! I haven't had sushi in forever. This will be like a reunion. With me and the sushi." Kagome said licking her lips.

"Ok? Look it's just up there. See that big sign that says 'Macon Bar and Grill' that's it!" Inuyasha said pointing to it.

"Wow! Lets hurry then! I don't want to wait much longer to eat ,y beloved sushi." Kagome said jogging a little, pulling Inuyasha behind her, until he caught up.

They jogged not even a block before they reached the entrance to Macon Bar and Grill. " Kagome take a deep breath. we have most of the night, so don't think I'm rushing you ok. I don't want you to choke on wasabi (sp?) sauce. So just take your time." Inuyasha said as he opened the door for the now, almost drooling Kagome.

They walked in and were seated right away. The place wasn't empty but it wasn't full either. It was just right for a semi Romantic evening.

"Your waiter will be right with you." the hostess said as she seated Inuyasha and Kagome.

A moment, literally, passed and the waiter arrived. "Hello, my name is Sencho I will be taking care of you this evening. Sencho is the guy from the pain store) Can I get you guys something to drink?" Sencho asked not even looking at his customers.

"Sencho?" Kagome asked looking up threw the dim light at her waiter.

"Yeah?" Sencho asked finally looking at Kagome. Right away he recognized Kagome. "Kagome! I thank my lucky stars!" Sencho said kneeling down on one knee if front of Kagome's table. "I never thought I'd see you again. And here of all places." Sencho finished as he stood up.

"Sencho...umm well as you can see I'm still with Inuyasha, like before." Kagome said pointing to Inuyasha and blushing.

"Yeah, so? He shouldn't get in the way. I like you, you gave me your number so clearly you had the same feelings. We're perfect." Sencho said completely ignoring Inuyasha who was twitching like, something twitchy.

"Well Sencho, lets just get past the drink order. Ok? We'll see how it goes from there." Kagome said blushing yet again, but a little lighter red.

"If that's what you want Kagome. What can I get you to drink?" Sencho asked with eager eyes.

"I'll have a Dr. Pepper." Kagome said then looking at Inuyasha.

"And I'll have a Corona." Inuyasha said sternly.

"Inuyasha! Your under age." Kagome said kicking Inuyasha under the table.

"Am not!" Inuyasha said glaring at Kagome in a playful manner.

"How old are you sir?" Sencho asked with a raised eyebrow.

"21, and not getting any younger." Inuyasha said crossing his arm impatiently.

"Ok, you can have your drink." Sencho said walking off, but not before winking at Kagome who blushed again.

"Inuyasha are you really 21?" Kagome asked turning her attention back to him.

"No, I'm only 19 and a half. Plus I could get it anyway. I am Inuyasha, I get what I want. But lying seemed like a better idea at the time." Inuyasha said smirking at Kagome who had a shocked look on her face. "Don't get all pissy. I'll only have the one." Inuyasha said leaning back in the booth.

"Inuyasha, I am disappointed in you. How could you lie like that? For something so stupid as a drink?" Kagome asked throwing her arms about in a stressed out manner.

"Chill out, it's one drink." Inuyasha said shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

"Chill out? Chill out? One drink could turn into 20 and then you'll be drunk and I don't know what I'd do. I've never been in a situation like that. Other than with Hojo and I try to forget those times." Kagome said turning red from embarrassment.

"All right Kagome, I wont drink it. It tastes bad anyway." Inuyasha said reaching for Kagome's hand, but she pulled it away.

"Inuyasha, if you don't like the taste, why did you order it?" Kagome asked in a stern voice.

"To ease the pain." Inuyasha said under his breath, but Kagome heard.

"What pain?" Kagome asked leaning closer to him.

"The pain of you! Flirting with that guy! You basically told me earlier that he meant nothing, and here you are flirting!" Inuyasha said harshly.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome started before Sencho returned with their drinks. He set them down and walked away swiftly to another table. "Inuyasha, I like you way more that Sencho, or Koga or anyone else. You don't have to do anything to ease any pain, because there shouldn't be any." Kagome said reaching across the table and running a finger over Inuyasha's cheek bone.

"Kagome, I want to ask you something." Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's hand and bringing it into his own.

"Yeah? What is it?" Kagome asked turning a little pink.

"Can I kiss you?" Inuyasha asked turning a little pink himself.

"I guess. I mean sure. I mean yes." Kagome said with a little giggle.

"Ok." Inuyasha said. Then it happened. Kagome felt two arms slid around her waist and herself being lifted out of the booth. She opened her eyes to see Sencho holding her to him.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed trying to push herself away from Sencho.

"Sencho, put her down!" Inuyasha said from behind Kagome, in front of Sencho.

"Why? You were going to sexually assault her!" Sencho said.

"Sencho! I wanted him to kiss me! And you better put me down. Where's your manager? You're going to get fired! I will see to it if you don't put me down this instant!" Kagome said kicking Sencho in a very sensitive area with her knee, and making him fall to the ground. "Thank you." Kagome said skipping over to Inuyasha who was looking at her like he was a zombie, so in a trance.

"Ka-go-me, how could you?" Sencho asked holding his...area.

"You wouldn't let go. And you just lost a costumer." Kagome said grabbing Inuyasha by his hand and dragging him towards the exit.

Once outside Kagome sat down on a bench that was a ways away from the entrance to Macon Bar and Grill.

"Kagome, have you gone crazy? I mean not like psycho crazy but ass kicking crazy?" Inuyasha asked sitting next to Kagome on the bench.

"No, I've only hit one person today, and it was self defense, I think." Kagome said putting her index finger on her chin in thought.

"I guess your right. But that a pretty nice move you used on that creep." Inuyasha said hitting Kagome in the shoulder playfully. But I suppose he forgot he had super human strength and that a small tap like that to a girl like Kagome, could send her flying. And that's what it did. But instead of flying it sent her into the ground. Not very hard, but enough to get her to say 'ouch.'

"Ouch, Inuyasha don't do that again please." Kagome said from her spot on the ground.

"Oh, sorry about that. I forgot your human." Inuyasha said offering his hand to Kagome. She took it without hesitation, and Inuyasha pulled her up onto the bench, back where she was before she hit the ground.

"It's ok. It didn't hurt to bad." Kagome said rubbing her cheek. "Well I'm still starving and I'm so not in the mood for sushi anymore. Can we find somewhere else to eat?" Kagome asked looking over at Inuyasha who was looking at something on the other side of the street. Kagome followed his eyes and say a girl sitting on the side walk crying. Kagome stood up and took a step towards the girl, but Inuyasha caught her hand.

"Kagome, stay here." Inuyasha said standing up.

"But Inuyasha." Kagome started before Inuyasha took a few steps into the street.

"No buts Kagome. Stay here." Inuyasha said. Then he ran over to the other e of the street until he was in front of the girl.

Kagome couldn't hear what was being said, but she could see Inuyasha's mouth moving, and then the little girls. Out of nowhere a big, fat, ugly man came out of the ally behind the girl. Kagome only saw him for a second. But then she saw him again in the middle of the street, like he was running towards her. That time, everything seemed to freeze. Kagome saw the man clearly. He had a pig nose, greasy hair, a blue sweat jacket on, and some baggy jeans. He seemed to be holding something behind his back, but Kagome couldn't make it out. Then time went back to normal and she didn't see him anymore. She looked around franticly, but then she heard it. Big, deep breaths from behind her. Kagome whorled around to see the man standing, now, in front of her. She took a step back but fell because she walked off the end of the sidewalk.

So the she was. Sprawled, halfway on the side walk and halfway on the street. Her ankle was killing her, she must have sprained it when she fell. And a big, scary looking guy standing over her.

"Well young madden, tonight you shall die. But not before I have some fun with you." the guy said in a deep voice that seemed to echo through the streets.

"In...Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed trying to get up but failing miserably.

"No need to scream woman. He can't hear you. My play doll is keeping him occupied." the weird guy said, his voice piercing Kagome's skin like daggers.

"No, this can't be happening to me." Kagome said looking back at Inuyasha, then back at the man.

"It's happening to the both of us. Now do you want to have our play time here? Or elsewhere? Let's have your little friend watch shall we." the man said pointing to Inuyasha. Kagome looked back at Inuyasha to see that the girl had disappeared. Kagome saw Inuyasha whorl around and say something that she couldn't hear. She saw him trying to cut threw the barrier that surrounded him, but to no avail.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said reaching out to Inuyasha, although she knew she wasn't really touching him. She felt the warmth from his hand as if he were right there. "Inuyasha I need your help." Kagome said tears running down her cheeks. And as if Inuyasha heard her loud and clear, Inuyasha started thrashing at the barrier.

"If seems the half breed knows how to read lip." the man said with a deep laugh that rumbled the earth.

"Please, let me go. What are you after anyways?" Kagome asked whipping some tears out of her eyes.

"Nothing really. I haven't been out of my hell hole of an ally in such a long time. And you being so beautiful mad it had to resist." the man said whipping spit from his chin. (gross!)

"Just go back to you stupid ally and leave me alone!" Kagome said trying to stand up and run, but because she sprained her ankle, she didn't really go anywhere.

"Listen wench, if I want someone yelling at me I'll return to my home!" the man said stomping his foot, making the ground shake.

"Please, find it in your dark heart to let me go!" Kagome said another set of tears pouring from her eyes like waterfalls.

"My heart?" the man mumbled his eyes getting bigger.

"Yes, please sir, if you are to kill I want to know your name so I know who to hunt down." Kagome said glaring at the man with hatred.

"My name...has been lost long ago, when voodoo took over my soul." the man said sticking his pig nose up in the air.

"Let her go pig filth!" Inuyasha yelled as he leap threw the now broken barrier.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she tried scrabbling to her feet, but was so thrown back down by the voodoo man.

"Well, the half breed has a name does he? And a girl? What a lucky soul." the voodoo man said picking Kagome up and bringing her up and over his should like a potato sack.

"Let Kagome go! She doesn't need filth like you touching her!" Inuyasha said running up to them. In a blink of an eye he went from 100 feet away to right in front of the voodoo man. He grabbed Kagome, held her close to his body and used his claws to tare the man apart. With one last deep laugh the voodoo man vanished into ash, that was soon flown away with the wind. "Kagome, are you ok?" Inuyasha asked looking down at Kagome who was clinging to his chest.

"Yeah, just peachy." Kagome said into his chest, not looking up.

"Are you sure? You don't seem ok." Inuyasha said standing up straight, still holding Kagome close to him, keeping her up off the ground.

"The smell of that voodoo man, was eating me up inside." Kagome said with a sigh, and then breathing in Inuyasha's sent. He had changed from axe body spray, to Vert men's sent. (I love the smell of vert. When I go to ocean pacific I spray it on me and my friend always thinks some guy hugged me! lol!)

"Keh, what did he smell like?" Inuyasha asked with a smile.

"Like pigs." Kagome said taking in another deep breath of Inuyasha.

"Well you don't have to worry about him anymore." Inuyasha said smiling to himself.

"Inuyasha, I think I sprained my ankle." Kagome said looking up at Inuyasha, even though she was only inches away from his face, the way he was holding her.

"I can tell, your ankle is swollen on the right. I can smell the pain as well. That's why I'm still carrying you." Inuyasha said putting his left arm around Kagome's waist so she wouldn't fall.

"Aren't you smart. Can I just rest my eyes for a bit?" Kagome asked snuggling into Inuyasha little more for warmth, and Inuyasha tightened his hold.

"You can put your legs around me if you'd be more comfortable." Inuyasha said blushing when she did so. After a few minutes Kagome went a little limp is his arms. Inuyasha looked down to find her sleeping in his arms.

'It's going to be a long walk home. But at least I have a beautiful girl in my arms." Inuyasha thought blushing again. 'I wonder what the Voodoo man wanted. Kagome fell asleep so fast I didn't have time to ask her about their conversation. Was he only after her? And what was with the little girl? I should ask Kagome tomorrow. But for now I need to find a place to stay. The theater where my car is isn't for another mile, and home is like 15, and I don't feel like walking that. Should I call down a cab? I would but there's no cabs around.' Inuyasha though glancing around, but his eyes soon fell on the sleeping girl in his arms.

"Muyasha..." that got Inuyasha's attention. The girl in his arms, hopefully mumbling about him? Very interesting to a guy like him.

"Yeah?" of course he was going to play along. He wanted more of information.

"U'm humgry." Kagome said snuggling up to Inuyasha even more, almost tickling him with her sort breathing on his neck.

"Great, she's hungry!" Inuyasha said almost dropping Kagome when he threw his arms up in the air. But with his fast speed he caught her before she feel 5 inches.

"'Yawn' Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Kagome asked rubbing her eyes. Currently Inuyasha was breathing heaving because he was so close to dropping Kagome, so he was heaving sort of and when you wake up to that, you might think the wrong thing.

"I'm just...um, breath?" Inuyasha said with a nervous smile.

"Uhu. Well you can put my down now. I'm totally energized for the 16 mile walk home." Kagome said trying, not really trying, to push herself away from Inuyasha. And Inuyasha nearly fell over at that.

"But Kagome, it's like 12 o'clock, I'm tired and you are really tired. So why don't we sleep in the park or something?" Inuyasha asked setting Kagome down, but then she winced and almost fell over, so he grabbed her waist so she wouldn't fall.

"Oh, yeah I forgot a bout my ankle. Would you mind carrying me again?" Kagome asked blushing, and tightening her hold on Inuyasha's arm.

"No, but this time climb on my back. It will be easer, and if you fall asleep again it's wouldn't make a difference." Inuyasha said still holding Kagome and somehow bending down.

"Ok." Kagome said hopping a few steps so she was behind Inuyasha. Then she slowly got on and Inuyasha stood up.

"Better?" Inuyasha asked turning his head slightly to the side so he could see Kagome.

"Much. Oh, my gosh!" Kagome said almost springing up.

"What?" Inuyasha asked looking around for something special that might have caught Kagome's attention.

"I'm already late for getting back home! What am I going to do? My mom is going to kill me if I'm late, which I am. Oh, and Sota is probably worried, oh, Sango is going to kill me too! I'm dead." Kagome said sinking into Inuyasha back.

"Let's just call and tell them what happened. Oh, and they might come and pick us up! A two in one deal!" Inuyasha said looking back at Kagome who had that deer in the headlights look on her face. "What?" Inuyasha asked slowly.

"You are so smart! I would have never thought of that! You are so great Inuyasha. Do you have a cell?" Kagome asked with a big smile.

"No"

"Change?"

"Not enough for a pay phone."

"What are going to do? I'm so dead!" Kagome said throwing herself on Inuyasha's back once again.

"Let's just sleep in the park. Great scenery, peaceful fountain water running all night, soft green grass to sleep on all night. What do ya say?" Inuyasha asked heading towards Flower Park.

"I guess. But tomorrow you have to explain all this so everyone ok?" Kagome said leaning on Inuyasha's back to get more comfy.

"Agreed." Inuyasha said picking up speed.

In a few minute Inuyasha got to Flower park and he was right the scenery was beautiful. All he heard was a gasp from Kagome before his body had a mind of it's own. He sat down in the soft green grass and placed Kagome next to him.

"Inuyasha I'm glad I'm stuck here with you and not someone else." Kagome said laying down and looking up at the stars above.

"Same here." Inuyasha said laying down next to Kagome and putting his arms behind his head. Though, he didn't look at the stars above, he look at the beautiful star laying next to him. "You know Kagome, I think you and I are a perfectly normal thing." Inuyasha said kinda randomly.

"What do you mean by that?" Kagome asked turning over on her side, so she faced Inuyasha.

"I mean, well it's hard to explain, but you and me. Stranded out here like this in a park seems kinda normal, and fun. Now it's only like that because it's you and me not someone else." Inuyasha said turning on his side so he faced Kagome.

'She's so pretty in the moonlight. Wait, don't think that! There no one here to stop you from kissing her.' Inuyasha said to himself as Kagome thought about what he said.

"You know Inuyasha, I think Your right." Kagome said smiling warmly at Inuyasha who blushed in return.

"I am?" Inuyasha asked realizing what she had said.

"Yep! And I'm going to hit the hay...or grass." Kagome said laughing at her own lame joke.

"Ok, good night." Inuyasha said as Kagome closed her eyes slowly.

"Night." Kagome mumbled with a yawn. And with that Kagome drifted to sleep. While Inuyasha just watched her sleep. A few moments passed till Inuyasha felt his eyes get heavy. And without even thinking about it, he put his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her close. And he to went into a peaceful sleep. But even then he was alert, he didn't want anyone disturbing his and Kagome's well deserved sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well there's chapter 9 for ya! I'm glad I got some new reviewers. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh, and it's a tie between Rin and Shiori for Sota's love and affection. I'll just have to see who ends up with more in the next chapter of reviews. Well you all know the drill...REVIEW PLEASE! And tell me what you think. And so we're clear...it was late when they got of the movies.
