The Unbroken Pieces
Chapter Two
Courage
Last time:
"I'm thinking you are. Don't be protective over it, all men do at first sight of her, but when they get shot down they just stare at a distance at her. Yet they still long for her."
"so I'm guessing you already tried for her monk?"
"sadly yes"
"shot down?"
"yeah"
Well maybe I can change that for me. Inuyasha never gets shot down
Now:
Kagome POV:
As I walked by the dojo owned by my father's friend Totosai, I saw Miroku. I thought if I looked he would come up to me and try to set up a meeting. He never gives up, but then his friend with the amber eyes caught my attention. He looked so familiar like we've met before. I just couldn't place my finger on his name. As I passed I could sense his amber gaze on me. I could tell since he hung out of Miroku he was one of Kikyo's customers.
Something inside me made me want to invite him to be one of my chosen customers. But I felt that I would get to attached. After I was out of sight of the dojo, I longed for his gaze on me. I wanted his attention, the sound of his voice, his lips…god I GOTTA STOP!
Normal POV:
Kagome was almost to the front of the tea house when she sensed someone running towards her from behind. She turned around and saw Miroku and Inuyasha running to her.
She stood still while they caught up with her. She stared at them as they caught their breath.
"Ka ka gome. Glad I caught up to you" Miroku said.
"What is it that you want monk I thought I declined your invite for me to serve you. Let's see about 15 times was it now?"
"Uhmm I counted 19 but 15's good too"
"Well what do you want?"
Miroku blinked a couple times trying to get his brain to work.
"Oh yeah! I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Kagome Higarashi, I liked you to meet Inuyasha Hitomi."
Inuyasha stepped from behind Miroku and bowed to Kagome. Kagome replied with a nod. So his name's Inuyasha, a dog demon no less. Interesting. That's how he got those beautiful eyes.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness."
Your highness? How unique, how lame! I can't talk to her I'm too nervous. Inuyasha started to sweat a little bit and took deep breaths.
"Is something wrong?"
Kagome looked at him with a serious face.
"No no everything's fine. Just amazed at how you don't seem faint wearing that kimono out during the summer with the heat. Also that you're a lone with no body guard."
"When you're a goddess there's no need for other's protection. I can take care of myself. And for the problem with heat I never get to hot I can cool myself down."
Inuyasha was amazed at how he couldn't say the right things to her. He was so taken by her. He noticed she never smiled or have a smoothness in her voice. He longed to see her smile. Miroku noticed how nervous Inuyasha looked and tried to cover for him.
"Excuse what he says if the offend you your highness. He's never met someone as high ranked as you."
"I see. Please excuse me, I have business to attend to."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and nodded at him.
"Inuyasha it was nice to meet you."
Kagome turned around and started to walk to the tea house. She stopped and reached into her kimono and pulled out a decorated shell. She turned around and looked back at Inuyasha.
"I would like to see you again in different terms of course"
She placed the shell in his hands and nodded to Miroku.
"Please contact my boss, Sango, at anytime"
Kagome then walked away and into the tea house without looking back at the confused dog demon and monk.
Inuyasha looked at the shell. What does this mean? His thoughts were interrupted by his friends loud voice.
"INUYASHA YOU ARE MY SAVIOR!"
"huh? Why?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT THE SHELL MEANS!"
"no…"
"it means Kagome invited you to be one of her customers!"
