Chapter 3 - To be Different

The day went on as Kagome couldn't help but think if this was the right choice. Kagome always believed in love at first sight, but she never knew the outcomes of it. All those fairy tales from Cinderella to Snow White, she still didn't know if this would work out, afterall, it's reality.

Kagome decided to go out for a while. She opened the door and surprisingly, there he was, Inuyasha ! He was standing at her doorway. She smelt the flowers that were in his hands. Kagome smiled as she tilted her head towards Inuyasha and whispered, "Hello". Inuyasha bent his head down, trying to give Kagome a kiss. Kagome put her hand in front of her mouth as Inuyasha's lips touch her hand.

"Not yet." Kagome smiled as Inuyasha drew back and let out a groan.

Urgggg.. Why does she gotta be so damn cute .. !

Inuyasha let out a fake smile, knowing she wouldn't be able to see, "Okay."

Kagome snorted loudly as Inuyasha asked, "What's wrong ?"

Kagome laughed, "I know you're not very happy, but you gotta stick with me. Okay ?"

Inuyasha nodded, "Feh, fine.."

Kagome let out a smile, knowing he was much more than a grouchy, snobby, player. Kagome slowly stepped out of her house, calling her guide dog to her as he came running, leash in between his jaws. Kagome patted her guide dog and reached into her pocket, grabbed a little sack and handed her dog a biscuit.

Inuyasha leaned down, quite interested in the golden furred retriever. He began to stroke the dog as it panted and wagged its tail.

"Ahhg ! What is it doing !" Inuyasha panicked as he stood up and distanced from the joyful dog.

Kagome tittered softly, hiding her expression. Inuyasha put his hands on his hips, "What's so funny ?"

Kagome began to chuckle loudly, "Inuyasha ! You're silly. He's only happy. He likes it when people pet him !"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and bent back down as he began to fool around with Kagome's guide dog.

After a short while, Inuyasha finally said the words. "Hey, wanna go out ?"

Kagome had never been asked to "go out" before. She nodded and off they went.

Inuyasha had taken Kagome to a movie. As they entered the front door, some one shouted, "Inu boy !"

Kagome and Inuyasha turned around as Kagome accidently ran into a person.

"Watch where you're going !" the guy shouted as he began to spazz at Kagome.

Kagome bowed down, "I'm so sorry !"

"YOU BETTER BE ! NOW CLEAN IT UP !" the guy shouted, throwing a cloth at Kagome.

Tears began to roll down Kagome's cheeks as Inuyasha stepped up and backed Kagome away.

"Kagome, stay back. Plug your ears."

Kagome backed away slowly as she plugged her ears.

"Yo, asshole. The girl can't see, don't go fucking yelling at people you moron ! Why don't you go fucking FUCK yourself, or why not go and look in the mirror and say you ARE fucked ?"

Inuyasha took the frightened guy by the collar and began to beat him down and threw him out the front door.

As Kagome finally began to unplug her ears, Inuyasha ran over to her and hugged her, "You alright ?"

Kagome stood still, "Yeah."

Miroku was beside Inuyasha, watching everything that just happened. "The muscles !"

Inuyasha punched Miroku, "You're so gay.."

Miroku groaned, rubbing his arm as he pretended to cry, "Oh Inuyasha.. that hurt so much ! I think I'm going to DIE."

Inuyasha and Miroku laughed histarically.

Kagome stared blankly at them, not understanding the "inside" joke.

Inuyasha finally stopped laughing and grabbed Kagome's waist, "Come on, let's go."

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku were sitting in the theatre. During the first part, Miroku kept on nudging Inuyasha.

"You got a hot girlfriend." Miroku whispered as he winked.

"I know eh ?" Inuyasha replied as he put his arm over Kagome.

"Too bad she's.. you know.." Miroku answered with a straight face.

"It's.. it's alright though.."

After a period of time, Inuyasha attempted to make a move on Kagome as he pulled her closer. He began to reach his lips for her as she slightly pushed away.

"Inuyasha ... !" She squirmed as Inuyasha suddenly placed his lips onto hers. Kagome, shocked and confused, began to kiss back.

Miroku was tittering and giggling.

Kissy wissy mushy tushy !

As immature as he was, he knew that this was way too soon for them to be kissing. They just got together today, and already making out. He knew Inuyasha had a record for moving on after a kiss, so he was ready to see if the record would hold or not.

After the movie, Inuyasha and Kagome were even closer than they were this morning. Arms linked.

Miroku.. I know my record but.. I can't give her up..

Inuyasha took Kagome to the top of a hill to watch the sunset begin. He knew Kagome couldn't see it, but he never thought of it that way. Kagome was like everyone else to him.

"Hey, Inuyasha ?" Kagome asked as she leaned back her two arms and sat down.

Inuyasha stretched out his arms and lay down, "Yeah ?"

Kagome then tucked her knees together, "What.. what do you look like ? Nothing to judge you by.. I just haven't seen anyone in a long time.. I don't think I even remember what a person looks like."

Inuyasha began to panick, of course he wasn't a real "person", he was a half demon.

Inuyasha began to stutter, "Well.. Umm.. I have.. black hair.. It's short.. and uhh.. yeah."

Kagome turned to Inuyasha and grabbed his hand, "I have embraced you before. You have long hair. Your hair is silky soft. Tell me the truth.. You don't have to be afraid. I won't make fun of you or anything.."

Inuyasha sighed as he turned to Kagome, "Okay.. Well.. I'm not a normal person.."

"What do you mean ?" Kagome asked as she began to stroke Inuyasha's face.

"I'm.. I'm half demon."

Kagome giggled as she began to put her hand to her mouth.

"See, I knew you'd laugh."

Kagome shook her head, "No no ! It's not that. I can't believe you were afraid to tell me ! It's okay. Really."

Inuyasha gasped.

She.. she doesn't care.

Kagome smiled, "So, what else ?"

"I have silver, long hair, amber eyes, and.. dog.. ears.."

Kagome gasped in delight, "Doggie ears !"

Inuyasha nodded, "Feh.. Yeah.."

Kagome tittered as she reached onto Inuyasha's head to fell his ears, "Oh they are so cute !"

Inuyasha couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"I'm different, aren't I ?" Inuyasha asked with a straight face, in a soft, soothing tone.

Kagome turned to him as she smiled, shook her head and held his hand, "Everyone's different. Look at me, I'm different. Being different is nothing to be ashamed of."

At that moment, Inuyasha began to see Kagome in a whole other way. She wasn't only his love, but his best friend. Her raven black hair, twinkled as the sun began to set.

"Kagome, the sun is setting !" Inuyasha shouted as he pointed across the horizon.

Kagome nodded as she closed her eyes, "I know ! Even I can tell it's getting darker and darker !"

They both looked into the horizon, the sun gone and smiled.

"I always wanted to see a sunset.. Ever since I lost my sight." Kagome stated with a smile.

Inuyasha was confused, "What ?"

Kagome giggled, "Well, now I have. I've seen it. Maybe not through sight but I felt it in me. I felt it, in you."

So how was that ? Similar to the last I guess, I know I know. The conflict doesn't build until later on, trying to build up more story. Thanks reviewers, will wait until a few to update. Thanks for your support.
