Chapter 7(Torn Between the Two)
"Hey Sango this is...Kagome"she said a little out of breath. Kagome tore through her closet as she struggled to hold the phone.
"What's going on you sound like your in a rush"Sango said.
"...Ugh...I don't really have the time to explain right now...but do you think you could watch Sota for a couple of hours..or take him out for ice cream or something?...I feel really bad leaving him here by himself"Kagome said finally finding the shirt she was looking for and disguarding it after discovering a stain.
"Yeah sure...I'll see you in a few minutes"she said hanging up the phone.
Sango grabbed her keys not thinking much about the phone call she had just gotten from Kagome.
Sota heard another knock on the door.
"It's me Sota...Lets go and get some ice cream!"Sango said as Sota opened the door and hugged her tightly. Sango noticed that there was someone sitting on the coach.
"Sota...who is that?"she said trying to keep from being heard.
"Oh...say's his name is Inuyasha...he's got a date with Kagome"Sota whispered back.
"A date?..."Sango said with a smile.
"Yeah...I think he's her boyfriend."Sota said back. No matter how hard the two tried to keep their voices down, Inuyasha heard every word. Inuyasha began to smile at the thought of him being Kagome's boyfriend.
"Lets go Inuyasha"Kagome said finally coming out of her room. Kagome had just finished brushing off her dress when she looked up and caught Sango smiling at her. It was so hard for her not to blush.
"Thanks for coming Sango...I'll see you two later"Kagome said kissing her brother. Inuyashastood and waited for her to finish with her brother than he grabbed her hand and the headed out the door. Once they were in the car, Kagome wasn't quite sure how to apologize to Inuyasha for forgetting their date;although sitting there in silence wasn't a much better choice either.
"You look really nice..."Inuyasha said quickly glancing over.
"Thanks...I'm sorry about this morning"she said ashamed. Kagome hadn't had a memory slip like that in a while.
"Oh that?...no big deal...I got to meet your brother"he said
"What did he tell you?"Kagome said in a insinuating voice.
"Hmm...that you weren't ready to go...I take it you didn't tell him I was coming"Inuyasha said now stopped at a light. "...He thinks I'm your boyfriend..."he said with a smirk.
"Well did you tell him you weren't?"Kagome said looking back at him.
"No..."he said. Kagome figured he wouldn't have.
"But I didn't say I was either..."he added. Kagome could see this was going to get her no where so she decided to change the subject.
"So where are you taking me?"she said looking out of the window.
"Were going to a park...I wasn't sure where to take you at first...but I take you for the simple type"he said.
Kagomesmiled he had guessed right she was the simple type. She didn't need glamor and glitz to please her. It was the simple things that made her happy. Like spending time with friends and family. The simplest things kept Kagome happy.
The sun was out but it wasn't too hot. Inuyasha had prepared a picnic for Kagome and himself. The park wasn't as busy as it usually was and therefore made there date seem a little more private. Inuyasha and Kagome spent a good portion of their time running around on the playground equipment. Kagome hadn't had this much fun in a long time and Inuyasha could tell. Her smile was so bright and genuine. He had never seen her this happy before especially not at work. After eating the food that Inuyasha had prepared they decided to take a walk around the pond.
"Inuyasha thanks so much for today"Kagome said as she threw a piece of bread into the water.
"...Thank you for coming..."he said cooly.
"Did you prepare tall that food on your own?"Kagome said as they continued to walk.
"Yeah...I guess I can cook a little"he said modestly. Inuyasha was silently watching Kagome as they walked along. The way her hair flicked around in the wind. The way her dress bounced around as she walked. It was staring to drive him a bit insane. He just wanted to tell her how much he liked her but he knew she would never go for it. Not now. She had only just met him. Inuyasha was so caught up in his thoughts that he had missed half of the conversation that Kagomewas having with him.
"So your mother is dead...and you've never known your father"Inuyasha said trying to get back into the conversation without her noticing.
"Yes..."Kagomesaid with a heavy sigh.
"That explains a lot"Inuyasha said.
"What exactly does it explain"Kagome said getting defensive.
"You...why you seem so weighted down with responsibility..."Inuyasha said. "I wish you could have seen the smile you had on you face earlier"Inuyasha said pausing. "I know I haven't known you for long but...I could tell you haven't had that much fun in a long time"he said walking again.
"Why don't we head back...its getting late"Inuyasha said looking at his watch and seeing the sun now on the other side of the sky.
"I had such a great time today"Kagome said hugging him. "Here...take this I'll see you at work ok?"she said as she ran off upstairs. Although Inuyasha had wanted a kiss he would settle for the hug and phone number he was just given.

Sango was waiting for Kagome when she walked through the front door.
"Ok...What was that all about?..."Sangosaid with a smile.
"What was what about?..."she said meekly.
"Kagome...never have I walked into your apartment and found some random guy sitting on the coach."Sango said remembering her first impression of Inuyasha.
"...It wasn't random..."Kagomesaid with a smile.
"Well I can you not ready to explain what's going on yet...but you will"Sango said getting her things and heading for the door.
"Thanks for watching over Sota"Kagome said as Sango shut the door.
Kagome knew she was drawn to Inuyasha. The date she had today only made her want to spend more time with him;but she couldn't help but feel as if she were being unfaithful to her tutor. Inuyasha was a tangible person and her tutor as of know was not. Kagome tried to set the feeling aside and get some rest.
