Chapter 4- The replacement date

Last time

They started to walk away, when Hojo spoke again.

"I don't think you should be hanging out with a half breed."

"What! Why not?"

"What did you say punk!" Inuyasha was getting out of the car, he had heard what Hojo was saying.

"I don't want her hanging around you! Half breed!"

"Half breed? That's new. Wanna say it to my face so I can pound you?"

Now

"Kagome get behind me, I am going to fight this jack-ass."

"Huh!" Kagome was confused from what was going on. "Inuyasha is fighting Hojo? Oh kami, Hojo is going to get beat up so bad…oh well." A/N: they say Kami allot. Lol, god…

"You fuck-tard, don't touch Kagome."

"I will if I want! Right Kags?"

"Don't call me Kags like you know me!" Kagome slapped Hojo clear across the face.

"You wench! Don't slap me! You would rather be with a half-breed or something? I should have known; you smell like him! That's disgusting!"

"You bastard, the only thing disgusting is you!" Inuyasha said, launching forward to attack. He punched Hojo in the stomach. He tried to counter, but Inuyasha dodged it with ease and drop kicked him. Hojo hit the ground.

"Asshole, don't ever talk to me ever again!" Kagome Stood over Hojo on the ground and kicked him in his crotch.

"Kagome, come on." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's wrist and took her to the car. She got in and Inuyasha started the car.

"Where do you wanna go?"

"What?"

"Well, since obviously your not going on a date with Hobo, I will take you."

"Oh really now? And who said you could?"

"Umm, well—" Before could say anything, she placed a kiss o his lips.

"We should really start listening to each other's sentences before doing that."

"So? Take me some where."

"Can I go home real quick?"

"For what?"

"I still don't have shirt, remember? You dragged me at oh the house half dressed."

"Awe, but it's fun to have a shirtless hanyou around. Especially one as hot as you." She teased.

"What!" He blushed. "Kikyo once said something like that, but why am I getting flustered over Kagome!"

"Wear the white one I was wearing. I threw it in the back of the car."

"Fine." He reached into the back of the car and got the shirt and put it on.

"Would you like lunch at Wac Donald's?"

"Sure." Kagome said, smiling.

Inuyasha smiled back, drove down the street to the restaurant.

! #$&) Over at Sessh's…

"Oh, where in the seven hells is Inuyasha."

"Oh dear, I hope he isn't stocking Kagome."

"Oh kami, he would though."

"Oh, it shouldn't matter. They're so adorable together…"

A/N: allot of oh's? Oh well. Heh…

)&$#! Back with Inu and Kags…

"Thanks for lunch Inuyasha."

"It was nothing, wanna go to the mall?"

"Yeah, that sounds fun."

"Okay, let's go"

They got in the car and went to the mall. The car ride was kind of quiet. Too quiet. "Oh my kami, am I on a date with Inuyasha? This isn't right…yet it is. It feel's nice, spending time with him."

"I hate people like Hojo, they think youkai are bad. Let along Hanyou…"

"People like him should be in jail! They can't discriminate because they think your weird."

Their car ride finally ended when they arrived. They walked in to the mall doors, and looked around. For it being Saturday, it was quite deserted. They walked through the mall window-shopping.

"Oh my kami! That necklace is gorgeous! The setting is perfect and—" Kagome trailed off when she felt tugging around her wrist that lead her into the store.

"My friend here would like to try the necklace in the window on."

"Yes sir." The woman obeyed.

"What are you doing Inu?"

"I want you to try it on, if you like it, I will buy it for you. Please don't call me Inu…"

"What? You can't be serious! You don't have to!"

"I want to though. Being rich isn't fun if you can't share it."

"Oh…" She knew exactly how he felt, but she did share it. "I guess Kikyo being rich didn't help him…"

"Here you are." The woman handed Inuyasha the necklace.

"May I?"

"Yeah…" Kagome lifted the hair of her neck. Inuyasha put it around her neck, and hooked the clasp. Kagome looked in the mirror.

"Oh my, it's beautiful…" It was a floral design, with emeralds and rubies. Small diamonds dotted it, with a gold setting.

"Do you want it?"

"Yes…" She said, blushing.

"Here is my card miss." Inuyasha handed his card to the woman behind the counter.

"Okay sir." She rang up the necklace. "Do you want it wrapped up?"

"I don't think that's necessary."

"Okay." She handed him his card back, and the warranty.

"Let's go."

"Okay…"

They continued walking and window-shopping. They entered the pet shop and looked around. Kagome kept picking up birds, while dogs were attracted to Inuyasha.

"You should stay in here mutt-face." Inuyasha looked up to see who said it.

"Kouga…" Inuyasha growled. Kagome walked over and stood near Inuyasha.

"Do you guys know each other?" Kagome asked, worried about the situation.

"Yeah, wolf-shit has been annoying since day one."

"Oh…"

"Oi Kagome! How have you been?"

Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, quizzled.

"Do you know him?"

"He's umm…my ex."

"What? How did you ever get away with that? Wouldn't have Sessh try to scare him away?"

"Well...not if he didn't know about him…"

"Kagome, why don't you leave this insolent puppy here, and come with me?" Kouga grabbed her wrist and started walking away with her.

"Oh no you don't!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's other wrist. "She isn't leaving with you!"

"Wanna bet? Come on Kagome, I'll take you to the new water park."

"I…"

"Kagome, let's go back home and see every one."

Kagome felt like a human rope in the game of tug-o-war.

"No…go away Kouga!"

"WHAT! You would rather be with that?"

"Yes! I would rather be with Inuyasha! He would make a way better boyfriend than you!"

"I hardly find that true. I will have you Kagome, and I will make you a woman!"

"Ugh! Go away!" Kagome slapped him across the face just like she did earlier with Hojo. Both boys were bug-eyed at the situation. Humans, woman especially, never hit demons. Kouga just smirked.

"That's what I love about you Kags, you got guts." After saying that, he left the store, ending their scene.

Kagome looked down at her watch.

"Holy kuso! It's 4:45! I gotta go help Miro clean up at Lady Kaede's shrine!"

"You aren't a very punctual person are you Kags?"

"No! Now let's go!" Kagome grabbed Inuyasha dragging him out the door.

"Now that girl has those men wrapped around her finger." And old woman commented, as she watched Kagome for the entire visit.

!#$&( Car ride there…

"Kags, I kinda want to say I am sorry for being your first kiss. You probably wanted it to be some one else."

"Not necessarily, my first kiss was Kouga…he forced me."

"WHAT! THAT FLEA BAG! I AM TURNING BACK RIGHT AND BEATING THE SHIT OUTTA HIM!"

Kagome looked up and giggled how mad he was. She started blushing, "Does he really care, or he becoming competitive?" She giggled some more.

"What's so funny?"

"Well, I can't figure out if you're jealous, being protective, or just plain out competitive."

"I care cause that guy is such a loser!"

Kagome looked at in disbelief. "Why does he care about me all of a sudden?"

"Why didn't you ever tell Sessh, or Miroku for that matter?"

"Well…I just didn't want them to over-react like you did! They would have killed him, and quite frankly, I don't want a jail friend…"

Inuyasha huffed and continued staring at the road. His ears were twitching, and he was tapping his talons on the steering wheel. Kagome sat quietly, trying to think of a way to break the silence between the two.

Kagome looked down, and started poking at her necklace. The stones glistened in the sunlight. Some of it reflected in the car, causing a mini color dots on the ceiling of the car.

They finally arrived at Lady Kaede's shrine to help clean up what was left of their garage sale.

"Inuyasha, thanks for spending the day with me."

"No problem, what are friends for? I never have any thing to do, you made my day."

"Ello Kags! Finally you got here! I'm guessing your date with—" Miroku stopped at mid-sentence and looked at Inuyasha in the car. "Inuyasha? What happen to Hobo?"

"Heh, I guess I wasn't the only one that thought he was a loser from first sight."

"Exactly, that's why I didn't even chose an outfit for Kagome on this one."

"Feh, she made me do it."

Miroku walked by Kagome as she got out of the car and whispered, "Cheater…" Kagome turned and faced him and stuck her tongue out.

"Don't mind if I do!"

Kagome slapped him across the face.

"HENTAI!"

"Yes, yes, we all know…"

Kagome just walked away grumbling something about men and their stupidity.

"Miroku, I would watch out, you have been the third man she has slapped today."

"Third? Wow, she is in a bad mood."

"No, she has been around all the wrong guys…"

"You?"

"Naw, Kouga and Hobo."

"Kouga?"

"She can tell you if she finds it necessary…"

"Oh."

Inuyasha walked up the stairs of the shrine to follow Miroku and Kagome. He saw a small kitsune youkai, and a young priestess that looked similar to Kikyo, but different.

"Hello!" The priestess chirped, seeing Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Kaede! I still can't believe you and that kitsune run this shrine all on your own!"

"Yeah, well it's hard work."

"I would believe so…"

"Well, do you guys still need help cleaning?"

"No, not really, miss late for every thing."

"I'm sorry! Maybe I should commit my time to you any more Miro!"

"Yes, if you can't keep a promise and stay punctual, you shouldn't."

"Baka! Just take me home, I still don't have the house key…"

"You're the baka…"

"Oh Kagome, here."

Kagome put her hand out as Inuyasha hands her the key to her house.

"Where was it?"

"It was glued to the mini city."

"Oh, right…"

"Inuyasha, thanks for taking care of Kags, she can be a mess!"

"I know exactly what you mean…"

"Hey! Let's just go Miroku…"

Miroku and Kagome got in to his car, and he started the car. Before they even leave the driveway, Miroku starts interrogating…

"So what did you do over at Inu and Sessh's place?"

"What? We didn't do any thing! We watched a movie, that's it!" Kagome stuttered.

"Sure, liar!"

"I never lie!"

"That is a load of shit. What happen?"

"Nothing!" Kagome squeaked, she put her hand over her mouth.

"So he kissed you, eh? And bought you a necklace, a nice one…"

"How do you—"

"I think I have been through your jewelry enough to know what you do and don't own."

"Oh, right…"

Miroku decided to stop interrogating, and the rest of the ride home was quiet, other than his cussing at cars.

They walked into the house and flopped on the couch. The turned the TV on and watched it for a while. It was finally getting dark out side.

"So bored…"

"We are always bored at night…I guess the only fascinating time for us is the morning. Let's get take out and go to bed."

"Okay."

Abruptly the phone rang, and broke the silence of the room.

"Hmm? No one ever calls us, I wonder who it is…" Miroku picked up the phone and answer.

"Yo, Higurashi and Furyou residence, who do you need?"

"I wanted to talk to Kagome, is she there?"

"Is this Sango?"

"Yeah, Kagome left a message on my phone, but I couldn't make out what she was saying."

"She needed some where to stay because she lost her house key at Inuyasha's house. And I was out of town that night."

"Oh, okay then. Where did she end up staying?"

"Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's place with Rin."

"What? Really?"

"Want to know something else?"

"Miroku, you wouldn't." Kagome was shooting her deadliest death glare.

"Oh, but I would."

"What did Kags do?"

"She cheated on the bet."

"How so?" Sango replied, amused by the new information.

"She kissed him, multiple times from my guess."

"Oh really, I wanna cheat too though! Kagome!"

"Miroku, stop talking to Sango about my non-existing love life and order some damn take-out!"

"I think she slept with him."

"WHAT? Kags! I am so going to get you! Lucky biznotch!" A/N: Biznotch: scary word for bitch.

"Miroku! Don't lie! It's bad!"

"From her distressed voice, I say I am right on the ball."

"Urr!"

Kagome left the room as Sango and Miroku continued to talk. Sooner or later he ordered take-out from a near by Italian place.

"Kags, we are go to the water park with Sango next week end, 'kay?"

"Sure…"

"And she wants you to bring Inuyasha."

"Seriously?"

"Yes." Miroku gave her a straight face for once that day. Her life has never been boring with Miroku around, other than when he was serious, which was rare.

A/N: HOLY CRAP! IT'S TOO LONG! I guess that's alright…
