Inuyasha 4 Chapter :Dinner
As Inuyasha was driving towards their secret dinner location he could tell something was bothering Kagome. He turned to Kagome "Kagome what's bothering you? Is it Kikyou? Because if it is don't worry about it. I knew we weren't right for each other and I'm happy to be free of her." He said with a small reasurring smile.
Kagome looked at him and smiled back. Then turned her thoughts inwards, 'Is that what he'll say when he finds out I'm pregnant? That he's happy to be free of me? Oh well I'll just stay with him until I can get a job and then when I start showing my pregnancy I'll find a place of my own. He won't want to be near trash like me...'
Inuyasha could tell that something was still bothering Kagome. But he wouldn't push it because she wasn't ready to talk. He hoped that she could open up to him. They pulled up in front of a resturant that had valet parking. Kagome's jaw dropped. She had never been to a place this fancy. Her family had always been poor. Maybe this was why she had dated Kouga...
As Inuyasha walked around and opened the door for her she could see how fancy everything was. As the walked down the hall to the resturant she could see herself and Inuyasha relfected in the gold plated side panels. And Gods did Inuyasha ever look hot, with his blue dress shirt. Black slacks and matching jacket. He was drop dead gorgeous. Kagome thought she looked rather plain next to him. She was wearing a blue dress, near the same colour as Inuyasha's shirt. With her hair in a bun at the top of her head. She had never felt so well cared for.
As Kagome and Inuyasha found a table in a far corner of the room, they were talking about their childhood memories. Inuyasha was talking about how he had never been accepted by his half brother, and since he had gone to all the same schools, his brother who was two years older had made sure everyone had known how much of a reject his brother was. But Inuyasha had always had a few friends here and there, so school was tolerable. But after his and his brother's father had died, it got worse. Because his father had given half of his stuff to Inuyasha's mother and split the other half between the two sons. Then when Inuyasha's mother died she left everything she had to her son. So Inuyasha had 3/4 of his father's wealth while his brother, Sesshomaru had only 1/4. Which needless to say has made his brother rather bitter and cold towards him. When Inuyasha asked Kagome about her childhood she immediately made the desicion to stick to the happy parts.
"Well, I grew up in a small house on the outskirts of town. I lived there with my mother, father, brother and my mother's father. My grandfather. He was always trying to persuade my father into giving me some freedom. My father was very strict. Everyday after coming home from school I was expected to do my homework and help out around the house. And if I didn't father would get angry... But despite that fact, my childhood was full of fun. Running around in the park behind my house, with my brother and later my best friend Sango..."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and asked her if Sango's last name was Taijii. Kagome looked at him and wondered how he could know her best friend! He told her that his best friend Miroku Houshi had had the biggest crush on her for years! Kagome couldn't wait to tell this little tid bit to Sango.
As the night continued and as glasses emptied and refilled. As plates were given full of food and taken away empty, Kagome became more talkitive and told more of her past. About her abusive father who kicked her out because of... she happened to still her tongue. 'That was a close one...' She had almost told her secret. That seemed to sober Kagome up. She was no longer quite so talkitive. Inuyasha decided to call it a night. As he lead the slightly intoxicated Kagome out to the valet, he helped her into the car and she seemed to be deeply lost in thought. 'What would he have done if he found out? Would he have left me there in the resturant? Would he be taking me back to his condo? Would he have just thrown me out onto the streets?' As she was pondering all of these questions Inuyasha drove down into the parking garage and helped Kagome into the elevator. As they entered his condo, she asked him a question "Would you cast someone into the street for saving a life..." Inuyasha had no idea what she was talking about, but answered her honestly "It depends on who and how I guess... If they had saved their friend by killing another I wouldn't hold it againist them, though I would be put off by them. If they had saved the life of a murderer I would wonder why, but I'd not throw them into the street... Especially not if they're as pretty as you..." He finished huskily as leaned down and gently kissed her lips.
Kagome's eyes flew open and she had no idea how to respond. So she broke the kiss with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well from all that she had drank. So Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and helped her into her room. After he left Kagome cursed herself. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Don't let yourself fall for him! If you do, what will happen when you're child is born huh? Then what?..." As Kagome slipped into sleep she was unaware of Inuyasha on the other side of the door listening for her to be asleep...
Inuyasha was confused... 'Is she pregnant? Is that why she's so scared to get close to me? Is that why she got kicked out of the house? Does she think I'd toss her out of my house just because of that? Oh boy. Something tells me that when she talks about this it isn't going to be pretty... I need to think about this...' Inuyasha walked out on the balcony and thought about his dilema until the early hours of the morning when he fell asleep on the patio chair with his thoughts of the strange girl he had helped off of the streets...
