"Don't worry, it'll be okay," he assured. "I won't let anything bad happen to you again, I promise," he said.
"Thanks InuYasha… for loving me," she breathed, and gave him a small peck on the lips.
Chapter 16:
More Than Friends
The school break had ended quickly and everyone had come back relaxed and rejuvenated. A little too relaxed for the teachers' liking. Sango had entered the dorm she shared with Kagome and dropped her bags in the doorway.
"Kagome!" she squealed happily.
"Sango!" The two held each other in a friendly embrace.
"How was your trip!" Kagome asked with a cheery smile.
"Great! I spent all my time with the family and it was a blast! I tried calling you hundreds of times…where were you? I know you couldn't have been making out with InuYasha that long," Sango commented slyly at that possibility.
Kagome just blushed at her friend's accusation and held her cheeks.
"I wasn't making out with him," she stated. "At least not all the time…" Another blush came to her cheeks. 'I don't want her to worry but I think I have to tell her what has been happening' she decided with a light conviction.
Kagome shook her head, hoping it would shake loose all her worries. She explained to Sango what had happened over the break. Her mouth dropped to the floor.
"I swear, your life gets more complex by the day! Your father is trying to murder you? And I'm never around when this happens! Uhg!" she grunted out in disappointment. "He has too much free time on his hands!
But I'm glad that InuYasha was there to protect you. How's he doing, anyways?" Sango asked; from the details that she heard from the story, she figured that his wound would still be there.
"He's fine," Kagome stated as if it were nothing. "His wounds closed up the other day; he says that it's because of all the love I put into my medical work…but I think it's because he's part demon," she said happily, still flattered by InuYasha's kindness.
Silence washed over the two. Sango still couldn't believe that Kagome handled all of this and could still keep a smile naturally placed on her face.
Sango sighed and thought of a way to change the subject. Her thoughts drifted off to her 'secret' love.
"Has Miroku come back yet? I haven't seen him in forever," she asked, hoping to not make it too obvious of her little infatuation. Kagome stared at her with a teasing smile, pushing all the thoughts of her adventures to the back of her mind.
"Why? Did you miss him?" Kagome asked with a mischievous smile.
"He is my friend after all…so, yes, I did miss him," Sango clarified in defense, a little blush creeping onto her face.
"Just friends? Or is it something more?" Kagome asked with that same grin. The result was that Sango hurled a pillow at her. Grabbing a second pillow for defense, Kagome gasped and threw the pillow at her best friend.
"We're just friends! Nothing more!" she yelled out as another pillow came into contact with her. They kept up the pillow fight until they heard a gentle knock on the door. They both looked at each other; then looked at themselves. They were a mess! Hair everywhere, cloths ruffled, makeup smeared.
Kagome decided she didn't care about her looks and went to answer the door. InuYasha and Miroku stood there. Seeing her beat form, they gave her a confusing look.
"Um… Kagome? What is going on?" InuYasha asked slowly, looking her up and down.
"Oh…um…it doesn't matter," Kagome stated passively. "Come on in." A small blush began creeping up on the hanyou's face as well when he looked at her. She ran her hands through her hair quickly to at least make it look somewhat decent; she saw Sango was already done with her grooming once the boys got in.
Kagome sighed and went across the room to go fix her makeup in the mirror.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" Sango asked, picking up a few random things that got knocked down during their friendly feud.
"Well, InuYasha and I met in the hallway and thought that we should all go out to the Roller Disco or the bowling ally…something along those lines," Miroku said as he watched Sango clean up the pillows and fallen items.
"That sounds like a great idea Miroku!" Kagome exclaimed excitedly as she finished her makeup touches. InuYasha looked over at her, smiling at her eagerness.
They had all agreed to go the Roller Disco because it was filled with such happy memories for them.
InuYasha was looking forward to catching Kagome around the skating ring and slow dancing with her. He smiled at the thought.
Secretly, Sango was eager to get there, too, and skate around with Miroku as her partner.
They walked into the building to clash with the smell of coffee and floor wax. Kagome turned her head to the left to see a small coffee shop. She looked to see that everyone in there was looking at a sign that had been posted up.
The sign read: 'Couples Only Night' on a big piece of pink paper. She laced her hands with InuYasha's; he smiled at the hint and blushed. Sango and Miroku watched as the two took off to rent their skates.
Sango sighed happily; 'She finally has someone to care for her; someone to mend her soul' she thought poetically while sending a friendly look to Kagome.
"Hey, Sango?" Miroku asked suavely. She snapped her head back to look at him.
"Um… yes?"
"Would you be my partner for this Couples Only Night?" His words slipped out very smoothly. Sango blushed and looked taken aback at the kind gesture.
"S-sure," Sango said. She knew that this would be the best night of her life!
Kagome had seen the whole romantic scene from the corner of her eye. She would definitely tease Sango about this tonight!
"Kagome watch out!" InuYasha shouted. Kagome looked forward to see she was about to hit the corner of the gate. The hanyou quickly pulled her close to him, protecting her from a very clumsy injury.
In doing so, he had pushed themselves unintentionally down and fell to the ground. Kagome had landed on top of InuYasha; he held back a shout of pain. She jolted up, wide-eyed, hoping she hadn't hurt her love.
"Eeep! InuYasha, oh…I'm so sorry! Are you okay!" InuYasha rolled his eyes and pulled her down onto him by the arms. Somehow, their lips always met perfectly, even when InuYasha drew her forcibly; she returned the kiss ardently.
The hanyou became quickly annoyed…their kiss could not be deepened, due to an interruption.
"Hey! No making out in the ring! You either do that outside or go home!" yelled a security guard across the ring. Kagome and InuYasha both stood up quickly and blushed heavily.
They began to skate off; Kagome was tripping every so often and InuYasha had to catch her…not that he really minded, he was able to stay close to her.
Sango and Miroku watched the whole thing.
Sango was blushing fiercely at her friend's newfound confidence. She quickly shook it off and felt relieved that Kagome was kissing InuYasha and not some weird-o pervert that was cruel to her.
