Chapter 4: Interrogation

Kagome's heart was in a flutter as her friends herded her to school. At first she had not attention fro their incessant questions. She had everything she wanted, because Inuyasha wanted her. All she could think of was to hurry through the school day to get back to the well. "Come on, Kagome!" Eri exclaimed, interrupting Kagome's thoughts. "Who is that guy? Why did you run away to meet him all of a sudden?"

"Um, he's . . . nobody. I just happened to, uh, run into him."

"Oh come off it! We saw you two kissing!" interjected Yuka, her eyes lighting up. "Tell us about him!" she eagerly demanded.

"Yeah, we searched all over that building for you! The least you could do is give us the details!"

Kagome figured some explanation was necessary, at least to stop them from pestering her. "Well . . ." she started, and her friends gathered closer, hungry for gossip. "His name is Inuyasha. We, uh, just started dating."

"When did you meet?" Here started the interrogation.

"Um, a few months ago."

"Was that the first time you kissed?"

"No, we kissed last week."

"Really? Is that why you've been so off lately?"

"But you seemed sad this last week. If I was kissing a boy, I would be flying!"

"Well, we had a fight, but we just got back together."

"OH!" All three exclaimed at once. "How sweet!" cried Ayumi. "Is that why you ran off? To get back together?"

Kagome almost laughed. That hadn't been on her mind when she initially ran off. She had only thought to give him a good berating and take back the jewel shards. But she was much happier with how things had turned out. "Sure." she said, with a secret grin.

"Hey!" Eri exclaimed as a new idea popped into her head. "Is he taking you to the school dance next weekend?"

Kagome hadn't even been thinking that far ahead. She was focusing on getting through the day so she could go back to Inuyasha. But going to the school dance would be lovely, if she could convince Inuyasha to come. A big IF. "We haven't really talked about that, but I would like to."

"Don't pester her, she just got back together with him!" Ayumi interjected, thus ending the interrogation. The three quickly found other topics to chatter about. Kagome's mind returned to Inuyasha, and thoughts of a magical dance with him floated through her head.
