Chapter 2: You Fool
"You have a date," Miroku asked, "with a girl from that website."
Inuyasha pinched the bridge of his nose and looked up at his best friend. He wasn't even sure he was going to tell him at first, but during the walk to school it just kind of came out.
"Yes..." Inuyasha said as nonchalantly as he could. Inside he was screaming to the heavens above. It still hasn't sunk in that he has a real date this upcoming Saturday. It'll probably be real once his credit card gets charged, but for now... what happened again?
"I sent you on that site... to find Sango... and you found...?"
"Her name's Kagome. I don't know, it just happened!" Inuyasha huffed as he quickened his pace hoping to leave his friend behind.
"IS SHE CUTE, INUYASHA?!" Miroku yelled as he tried his best to catch up to his friend. "This is big news, Inuyasha! We must celebrate!"
"SHUT UP!" the half-demon yelled with a blush on his face. He should've tried harder to keep the news inside, but could this site really be trusted? Is Kagome going to be Kagome?
Inuyasha spun around quick causing Miroku to knock into him. Miroku rubbed his nose as he looked at his best friend.
"This site is legit, right? I'm not getting scammed.." Inuyasha asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"You will be amazed by the women, Inuyasha." Miroku beamed in delight. Okay, so the search for Sango didn't go well last night, but Inuyasha found someone on the website and that should be happy news except this is Inuyasha here.
Inuyasha, the same man who scowls at any little frustrating thing.
The same man who repels women like there's no tomorrow.
The same man who thinks ramen is the answer to life.
The same man -
"Inuyasha," Miroku said in a serious tone, "you are interested in this girl, right?"
"I'm not spending money just for fun, Miroku." Inuyasha said.
Needless to say, the walk to school felt incredibly long compared to the other times they've walked it.
School was school. They listened to lectures, scribbled some notes, and Miroku couldn't resist rubbing a girl's butt resulting in him getting slapped and getting sent to the Principal's office. Again.
"How bad is it this time?" Inuyasha asked waiting outside of the office for his best friend.
"... I don't want to talk about it." Miroku said as he walked on past the half-demon.
Inuyasha smirked and followed after him.
"So... do you need tips for your date?" Miroku asked as he raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha. It's not that Inuyasha is terrible at dates per say... it's just he's temperamental and any girl who lasted the hour with him deserves a gold medal.
But again, not terrible.
Just temperamental.
"Keh, what's there to know? You see them, you eat ramen, talk, and go home." Inuyasha said with a shrug. If he's paying by the hour he might as well make it as quick as possible to avoid any over charges...
"Inuyasha, how can you say that? A date to a girl is A DREAM." Miroku said with wide eyes. "If you don't take the time to plan it out, how are you going to get to second base with her?"
"... did you get to second base with Sanyo?"
"... I swear it was love, Inuyasha."
"Okay, Miroku. Whatever you say. Anyway, I'm paying her by the hour so why do more than necessary... I'm not rich you know."
Miroku swung one of his arms around his best friend's neck, smiled, and said, "my friend, this girl could be your true love!"
"No true love charges by the hour, you fool."
And so ends another chapter. Appreciate you all who have taken the time to read and review.
On another note, how do you feel like you spend so much time typing up a chapter only to see it's like 700 words only? I'll try to type longer for the next one.
Until then, feel free to share those thoughts of yours. :)
