Chapter 12: A Lost Bet, and A Great Result!
"Sit boy!" Kagome yelled out in the courtyard. "I'll see you later Kagome!" Kouga yelled, still laughing. Inuyasha know layed face down in the courtyard, in a resonable size crater. He and Kouga had once again started fighting, when Kouga had shown up and started flirting with Kagome. "You need to grow up Inuyasha and just trust me when I say that I'm so not going out with him!" Kagome yelled down at the hanyou.
"But he called you his woman!" Inuyasha yelled back, sitting up in his hole. "What does it matter to you!"Kagome yelled, holding her breath for his answer. Inuyasha only looked down at his face print in the cement. Kagome still stared at him, her eyes demanding an answer. He silently got to his feet, then answered "Your right Kagome, I shouldn't care what you do with other boys." And then he and Miroku started off towards his house.
Sango watched with a smile on her face as the two bickered, and Inuyasha walked off. For the first time in weeks, Sango was beginning to plan something that didn't have to do with Kikyou (Thanks Lost Fairy). As Kagome started to walked off to her sheins, Sango ran to her side. "Hey Kagome, can I come home with you? I need to ask you something." Sango asked, as they made their way down the street. "Okay..." Kagome said, unsure of her friend. "Thanks!" Sango smiled for the first time in about two weeks.
Sango looked around the room as they walked into Kagome's house. "Do you want something to drink?" Kagome asked. "Yeah, that'd be nice. Where is your bathroom?" Sango said. "Okay, its upstairs and down the hall." Kagome directed, walking into the kitchen. Sango waited until Kagome was out of sight, then ran upstairs, pulling out her cell phone.
She quickly closed the door behind her and dialed what she remembered to be Miroku's cell number. He had tried to give it to her and ask her out, but she only rejected him, though she kept the number in case she ever needed to talk to him. "Hello?" he voice answered. "Miroku? It's Sango. Did you notice what happened between Kagome and Inuyasha?" Sango said in a hushed voice. "Awwwww sweet Sango. I knew you would finally call me. So when do you want to start baring my children?" Miroku said in a cocky tone. "When hell frezzes over you pervert! Now I have a job for you." Sango yelled into the phone. "Alright Alright! What do you want me to do?" Miroku said in a defensive voice. "I want you to get Inuyasha to ask Kagome out." She said simply. Only silence on the other end. "Did you hear me!" she yelled. "How the hell am I supposed to pull that off?" Miroku asked in shock. "Sango are you okay?" Kagom asked from downstairs. "Fine!" She yelled. "Just do it!" She hissed, then turned off the phone.
Sango then walked out of the bathroom, stuffing the phone back in her pocket, and walked downstairs. "You wanted to ask me something?" Kagome asked, handing Sango her water. "uhhhhh, yeah! What do you think, Miroku or Inuyasha?" Sango asked. "What about them?" Kagome asked confused. "Which would you rather spend time with?" Sango asked. "Uhhhh...Inuyasha I guedd, because he dosen't try to group me every ten seconds." Kagome answered, still confused.
Sango smiled, but Kagome still stared at her. "What are you doing?" Kagome asked, getting suspicious. "I just wanted to know." Sango said, sweat dropping. "Do you have a real question for me? Because if not, I got homework." Kagome asked getting annoyed at her weird behavior. "Uhhh...sure...Why is water wet?" Sango asked in a rush. Kagome stared at her in shock. "Okay, got to go! Later!" Sango said in a rush. She then handed Kagome the undrunk water, and ran out of the house, smiling to herself. It's up to you Miroku! She thought as she walked towards her house.
"Dude, who was it?" Inuyasha asked, flopping onto the couch with a bag of hershey kisses that he had gone to get from the kitchen. "No one. Dude, why so you eat that crap?" Miroku lied. "Because, unlike you, I don't really have anyone to impress anymore, do I?" Inuyasha answered, popping a piece into his mouth. "So...what do you think about Kagome?" Miroku asked, looking at the wall ahead. "She's okay I guess. We're friends and all." Inuyasha answered, looking at him with supiscion. "Cool. What's on comedy Central?" Miroku changed the subject, grabbing for the remote. He then silently turned it to Comedy Dentral, but didn't really pay attention. How the hell am I going to pull this off? Miroku thought with anger. Then it hit him. "So...that new student Kouga is cool right?" Miroku asked, smiling to himself. "He is an ass hole and if I find out your friends with him, You are so dead." Inuyasha answered with anger. Jackpot! He thought with a smile.
"Yeah, you guys fight alot." Miroku said. "He is the one whole always starts it! With his stupid flirting and all!" Inuyasha defended. "Yeah, Kagome dosen't like it when you guys fight." Miroku continued to lead on. "I you guys fight like three times a day. Its like clock work. So predictable." Miroku continued. "I can stop fighting with him if I want to!" Inuyasha yelled to defend himself. "I bet you can't for on whole day!" Miroku said with a smile, offering out his hand. "Your on!" Inuyasha yelled, grabbing his hand and shaking it Bingo! Miroku thought with a smile.
The next day after school
Inuyasha was now fighting the urge to rip off Kouga's head as he watched him hold her hand. He had made it the entire day without fighting, and he wasn't going to lose this bet. "You are so beautiful Kagome, do you want to go to the movies?" Kouga flirted. Kagome was shocked at the offer, and wanted to say no, but it just wouldn't come. "Why don't you go die in a hole Kouga!" Inuyasha yelled, instantly regreting it. "Sit boy!" Kagome yelled with a smile. She was glad he had insulted him, she now had a great reason to walked off mad. Sango giggled, and ran after Kagome, leaveing Inuyasha nad Miroku alone.
Miroku squated down at the face-down hanyou. "So, lets see. You lose, and I win, so now comes my favortie part."Miroku said with a smile. Inuyasha lifted his head and looked at him with a huge glare. "What is it?" He asked in anger. "You, my good friend, my take Kagome Higurashi out on a date." Miroku said with a huge smile. Mirkou had never seen a man go from angry to shock so quickly in all his life. "When?" Inuyasha asked in shock. "Tonight." Miroku said simply.Miroku got up to his feet and turned to walk off. "Have a nice night." and then walked off laughing.
Inuyasha was now staring at Kagome's door, wondering if he could get Miroku to make him do something else. But suddenly the door opened and Kagome was standing there. "Why have you been standing at my door for more then ten minutes?" She asked confused. "Well...ummmm...how did you know?" Inuyasha blushed. "My window is right there." Kagome smiled, pointing to a window. "Oh. Well, I wanted to ask if you...wanted to go...to eat at...well out." Inuyasha studdered, still blushing.
Kagome stared at him in shock, but smiled to herself. Could this be a...date? Kagome thought with shock. "Uhhhh...sure, I guess...come in. O have to change." Kagome answered, moving to let him in. Inuyasha nodded and walked into her living room. She watched as he grabbed a seat on the couch, she then ran up the stairs, and nto her room. She quickly threw open her dresser drawers and pulled out some cloths. After a couple of reject shirts and skirts, she found a simple pink top and a light blue kirt that was the same length of her school girl skirt.
She walked down the starirs to see a waiting Inuyasha smile at her. "you look good." He tried to compliment. Kagome smiled and laughed as he blushed. "I guess we should go then huh?" she blushed, looking at him. Inuyasha nodded and they walked outside to his car.
They had gone to a resturante not far from her house. It wasn't a fancy one, but it was nice. They had a small meal and Inuyasha picked up the bill. As they headed out to his car Kagome asked, "So what now?" "You want to go to the park or somethng?" Inuyasha offered. She smiled and nooded at him.
They walked down a dirt road in a small park Inuyasha knew about. "I came here alot when I was a kid." He told her as they walked. "It's nice. I see why you like it. It dosen't have many people hee." She said. "What does that mean?" Inuyasha asked. "You just seem like you don't like to be around alot of people. I'm sorry if I insulted you." Kagome explained. "Don't be. your right. I never liked to be around alot of people or demons. I just wanted to be alone." He said simply. Suddenly a gust of cold breeze went by them, and Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's arm and pulled close to him. Inuyasha blushed at her warmth and smiled as her smell filled his nose. "I'm here for you Inuyasha." she told him. "I know." He said simply.
The two now stood on the doorstep of Kagome's house. "Thank's for tonight Inuyasha. I had fun." Kagome thanked, reaching for the doorknob. But Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and looked her right in the eyes. He loved her eyes. But that night...he was almost afraid he'd never see them again. Slowly he pulled her close to him and asked, "Kagome...do you blame me for what happened to you?" "No Inuyasha, I choose to be with you. And I do not regret my choice." She said, looking up at him. Slowly he leand in and breathed in her smell. He loved her sent. It made his heart race and his mind go blank. From that day on, he would always remeber. Because as he placed his lips on Kagomes soft warm ones, the world stopped and nothing mattered. All that mattered was Kagome and that she was there with him. In his arm forever.
