Part 11: Hot & cold.

He was freaking out. How could he be this nervous after all of the dates he had been in? And this wasn't even a date per se! They were just a couple of friends planning a bachelor party for their other friends. That was just about it.

The sound of heels coming down the stairs had his heart racing and ears twitching. Kagome opened the door and smiled at him, and he swore right then and there that he was in heaven. She looked lovely in her blue sundress. They drove in a friendly chatter for a few minutes until they got to Kagome's favorite cafe, and she seemed pretty happy about the surprise. It had been a challenge getting Sango to agree to help him and give him such a valuable information.

They discussed the date and places for their friends' parties, agreeing that both groups would wrap up the night at Inuyasha's apartment. They kept talking about everything for a few more hours, feeling more comfortable with each other with every passing minute.

- Gods! I was supposed to be at Sango's place a few minutes ago.

- I can take you there if you want. After all it's my fault you're late. – sure, he wanted to be nice, but in all honesty he just wanted to spend more time with her.

The couple arrived at their destination a few minutes later, and he insisted on walking her to the door.

- Thanks for the drive, you just saved me from Sango's wrath.

- No problem… So, I guess we'll… meet at my place after the party next week?

- I wouldn't miss it. – she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek and entered her friend's house, leaving him frozen and all hot at the same time.

Kami, I do like like her. I'm so fucked.

A.N. A bit longer chapter to make up for my absence. I'll be moving countries soon, so I've been very busy with paperwork and handling over my job, etc. I promise to try and write a few chapters this weekend so I won't leave you hanging for too long.
