Title: Wherever you go, I'll follow.

Chapter: Six
Disclaimer : I do not own Inuyasha
Where we left off:
Kagome's eyes were puffy and her entire face was red. She forced herself on Sango and started to explain, her voice crackly and unclear.
Kagome began, "Remember is the cafeteria today…how I wanted to leave early and go outside."
"Yeah." Sango responded.
"Well I noticed this boy starring at me, it was really creepy and I was really uncomfortable. Anyway, when I was at my locker…"
Both Sango and Inuyasha listened carefully and Sango had her sympathetic look on her face. Inuyasha just looked a very casual frustrated/worried look and continued consoling her.
"…Well he introduced himself and I accepted it but then when I tried walking away, he grabbed me and forced a kiss on me…then he…. grabbed my butt."
"Oh my god," Sango hugged her again. "That's horrible."
"I was humiliated and taken advantage of."
Inuyasha finally spoke up, "You're going to be fine ok Kagome. Besides you are with us now, and it's the weekend." He smiled.
A small smile broke out on Kagomes face before she wiped away the rest of her tears. She straightened out her blouse to make it seam like nothing happened. Sango linked her arm in hers and started walking to Inuyasha's car.
"Lets go for ice cream, that always makes me feel better." Sango said with a smile.
The little trio drove away around the corner and out of site leaving Miroku standing on the field by himself. He looked at the ground and kicked a little rock. As soon as he looked up he saw some very pretty girls at the archery course practicing. He walked over and started to charm the girls and sweet-talk them. The where giggling and nudging each other till he came up and took there hands.
"Would you two like to spend the night, I'm quite the entertainer."
Both girls looked at each other than back at him really irritated pulling their hands from his and both slapped him on each cheek. They stomped away to shoot their arrows and left Miroku who fell to the floor and began to twitch.
He spoke up from the ground, "I'll never get this right."
Now:
As Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome sat in the ice cream parlor all seamed well. Kagome did back to her normal giggly self and Inuyasha to his stubborn non-understanding self rather than being worried. As the group sat and ate their ice cream they were reminiscing on what happened before they all met each other. Kagome went on about how she grew up with the same students in all her classes and some crushes that she had when she was in junior high. Every time she said something about a boy she would glance over to Inuyasha and noticed that his eyes where covered by his bangs, arms crossed and a very unpleasant, almost angry expression running across his visible face. So Kagome changed the subject and asked Sango about her past. Sango's entire story was basically about how she grew up learning about her ancestors and training with ancient weapons like an old boomerang made out of demon bones called the Hirikosu. She explained that her father said that her talent with the weapon was remarkable. When Sango finished her story, both girls looked at Inuyasha.
"Well?" They both asked.
Inuyasha looked up and noticed that both girls where starring at him expecting a long story like they gave him. As if he was listening. He looked at them frustrated and "pfft" them, although they where still waiting for an answer.
"What?" he countered, keeping his arms crossed.
"Aren't you going to talk to us about your past?" Kagome explained.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because we told you about ours." Sango retorted.
"My childhood was boring, you don't want to know about it." He looked away.
"Common Inuyasha! Are you embarrassed?" Sango and Kagome pressured.
"Give it a rest!" he forcefully said back.
Inuyasha stood up and scooted out of their booth and started walking away towards the door, although he stopped and hesitated for a moment. Someone grabbed his hand and turned him around, it was Kagome of course he knew that she would follow him. She had this kind of sympathetic look on her face, as if she was saying, "You have done so much for me…and there is nothing I can do to thank you." Although he didn't know how you could just say something like that in a simple expression. Though he clasped on her hand tighter.
"Sorry." She whispered softly
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything."
"Well, you know."
"Uh…not really?"
"Never-mind, your pretty stupid when it comes to girls." Kagome giggled.
"And what is that supposed to mean? I think I am pretty good with the girls…better than that Miroku person is anyway."
"You're not comparing yourself to much."
"Ouch! Good thing he isn't here that might have made him cry."
"Oh, and as if that comment was any nicer." Kagome laughed, punching Inuyasha in the arm with her free hand.
Kagome just laughed some more and waved for Sango to follow. She took one final spoonful of her ice cream and left with Inuyasha and Kagome. To her surprise as she closely followed behind the two, she noticed that they had not let go of each other's hands yet. Inuyasha's hand completely enclosed Kagome's as they walked to his car about a block away. The couple seamed not to notice, perhaps even enjoy it because their fingers where interlocked. It wasn't until Inuyasha had to finally let go and help Kagome into the car that they finally had to let go and looked at each other, both kind of blushing. Sango jumped in the back and they drove away. Small talk began.
Inuyasha stayed quite most of the car ride until he dropped Sango off.
"Bye!" Sango waved
Inuyasha was looking behind him while he was backing up and Kagome was waving frantically and smiling. As they drove away back to the shrine Kagome was looking out the window and looking at all the shops and restaurants and cars. Until they stopped at a red light and about 2 cars in front of them and in the right lane there was a limo.
"Inuyasha look!" she pointed, "It's a limo." Kagome said excited.
Inuyasha immediately got this feeling that it could be his family looking for him. His apartment was only about 5 blocks away and this highway was the only way to get to it. He never replied to her and just kept starring at the limo in front of him. When the light turned green he proceeded and still kept his sight on the car. The corner that they would have to turn to get to his apartment complex passed, and the limo never turned there. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief.
At Kagome's
Kagome's stepfather was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper and Kagome's mom was preparing a snack, when Takashi's cell phone rang. Takashi picked up the phone and a silence was on the other line.
"Isomaki?"
"Yes sir?" Takashi's servant answered.
"Just a minute."
Takashi left the living room quietly and went outside towards the God Tree. He stood under it for a moment until he knew that Mrs. Higurashi and Souta would not follow him. He raised the phone up to his mouth again and began to speak
"Tell me everything Isomaki, about this Inuyasha Takahashi."
"Yes sir." He began. "At first I had a hard time finding information about him but as soon as I did I knew why it was so difficult."
"Go on." Takashi said intrigued.
"Well, turns out the boy is the heir to the Takahashi thrown in the Coastal region."
"Is that the family that needs the Miko powers?"
"Yes sir. They need Kagome to finally fulfill their plans. The ones we are trying to protect."
"Yes, if her powers are unleashed before 18, she can be manipulated and controlled. She has to learn to control and reason with her power. I'm afraid if they get her now…there is nothing we can do to help."
"So are you going to send the boy away, sir?"
"I have to, he is way to dangerous."
Takashi hung up the phone and rubbed his head, thinking about what he could possibly say so that Kagome doesn't yell at him, which would be pretty much unavoidable. He went back inside the house slowly where he entered the living room again sitting on the couch.
Inuyasha's car.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and he still seamed really stressed.
"Something's bothering you isn't it Inuyasha?" she asked hoping he would say something in return.
"No, it's nothing."
"You can trust me Inuyasha."
"I know; this is just really personal."
"Oh, I see." Kagome looked away.
'I can't tell her I am a prince, then she will know I lied to her and she will never talk to me again; although I don't want to keep lying to her. What a lousy time for my conscious to kick in. Mother will be coming to get me in a few weeks, and there will be no place to hide at. I have to tell Kagome the truth.'
"Uh…Kagome?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and his eyes where still on the road, paying close attention.
"Yes."
"You know how I didn't tell you about my childhood."
"Of course I do."
"Well…" Inuyasha spoke shakily.
Unknowingly Inuyasha had already made it to the shrine and stopped.
"What is it?"
"Nothing… never-mind, it's stupid."
"Okay…well anyway, thank you for everything Inuyasha. I really mean that."
"It was nothing, see you later."
"Kay, bye!"
Kagome exited the car and proceeded walking up the step to the shrine. She looked back only for a brief moment to catch Inuyasha drive out of site. Continuing walking up the steps as she recollected her thought over the day.
'Jeeze, I really thought he was going to kiss me today.' She sighed and looked to the stars, 'that would have been so cool; my first kiss. Although this is so weird, I have only known him for about a week and I am already in love with everything about him. I honestly can't keep him off my mind. I guess all those other times that I thought I had loved some guy where wrong because none of those boys made me feel the way I do about him. That or there is obviously something wrong with me.' She giggled and kept walking.
She finally made it up to the house and walked in the front door. She had a rather large smile on her face and her eyes where big and happy. She was humming a familiar song and came into the kitchen to talk to her mom. She grabbed a piece of sushi before she left to her room. Kagome grabbed her towel and headed toward her bathroom. She turned on the tap and felt the water to get the right temperature for her bath, also filling up the water with bubble bath. After removing her clothes she got in and relaxed.
'I hate it when I sound corny, like in all those Romance movies my friends drag me into. But god! Is it wrong to feel the way I do so quickly?'
Kagome started to look back on all those sweet things he did for her.
Flashbacks.
Kagome already had a few tears falling down her cheeks and gave out a little whimper.
'Oh no…'
Inuyasha just looked at her and raised her chin. She slightly opened her eyes and whipped her tears and Inuyasha said he was sorry.
"Do you mean it this time?" she asked.
"Yah, sure."
And just too make sure she wasn't going to cry, Inuyasha gave her a quick hug.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoThey exited the museum and Kagome said thank you to a clerk and they walked down the stairs when Kagome turned back to smile at Inuyasha and she lost he footing (again) and started to fall through the air when something caught the back of her blouse.
"Oh my god!"
Kagome was flung into his chest as he caught her. She buried her face in his shirt and held on so tightly as she id she where about to fall again, besides it felt so good to be so close. She looked up at him and stared into his eyes.
"Inuyasha?"
"You really need to be more careful." He laughed
Kagome goggled back, "Yah. But I had you there to catch me." Kagome couldn't believe what she had just said; she covered her mouth and turned away from him walking to his car.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoKagome looked at Kouga's arm and was about to take his arm off of her when Kouga leaned down and forced a kiss on her and grabbed her butt. Kagome was shocked she had no idea what was happening but she tried to push this guy off of her. Inuyasha was still standing around the corner but in the blink of an eye he was there forcing the guy off of her.
"What the HELL do you think your doing?" Inuyasha yelled and shoved him aside.
(Then the proceed into an argument and then a fight)
End of Flashbacks.
Kagome got out of the tub and drained the water also wrapping her towel around herself, and then walking to her room and changed into sleep stuff. She closed her door and turned off the light, crawling into bed.
'Inuyasha…I am so in love with you.'
And she drifted off to sleep.
Morning:
Kagome sat up in bed and stretched. Swinging her feet over the bed and rising to open the blind of her window. The light was blinding and she covered her eyes for a brief moment. Not looking at the boy coming up the steps she exited to her bathroom and changed into some casual clothes. Consisting of a flirty white washed, jean mini skirt and baby blue and light green, boldly striped t-shirt. When she came back to her bedroom to spray on some of her body spray she noticed a little twinkle coming from outside. As she walked to the window and opened it she squinted her eyes to try and make out what it was that caught her eye.
'Inuyasha?'
The boy turned toward her window and smiled.
'Why is he here?' she thought then called out his name, "Inuyasha!"
Within a blink of an eye he was up at her open window and smiled at her.
"You seam happy this morning, Inuyasha?"
He just looked down and laughed. "Yah well, I had to see you."
'He had to see me?'
'Shit why did I say that…just play it cool.'
"So what's up?" Kagome asked.
"I still have to tell you something."
"Yah?"
Inuyasha didn't say anything for a while, but just looked at her in a dazed state. His heart was starting to beat faster and an intense rush ran through his entire body. It was a perfect Saturday morning and he had Kagome right in front of him. Nobody was around and her family would never know. What did he have to loose. Except that she would back off and say no. A knock on the head snapped Inuyasha out of his self.
Kagome tapped him on the side of the head, "Hello? Earth to Inu…anybody home?"
"Hey! Stop that."
"Well then say what you're going to say."
He backed out he couldn't do it know, he mad her mad already. "Nevermind."
"INUYASHA!" she yelled loudly to him, then calmed down. "What is your problem, you keep trying to tell me something but you never do. I never thought of you to be shy. Just say it."
"…"
"Spit it out already." Kagome poked.
"It's not really something I can say."
Kagome looked at him with a raised eyebrow. This was getting them nowhere.
"Well if it's something you cant say…what can it possibly be?"
In a slow motion Inuyasha moved in but stopped for a concise moment. He placed his hand on the back of her neck, pulling to him the rest of the way and placed the lightest kiss on Kagome's lips. Short, soft and sweet unlike any other. As he let go and moved away, opening his eyes. Kagome's where still closed and she gradually opened them again to meet with Golden greatness.
"Inuyasha…" she whispered.
Inuyasha hesitated and took a gulp. "Yah…"
"…That was my first kiss." And she smiled. Making Inuyasha smile as well and he let go of the back of her neck. "Is that all you wanted to say?" she continued.
He grinned, "Yah, that's about it."
"Good, because I have to go."
"What? Why?"
"Because I'm playing hard to get."
"Well your sure doing a good job of it."
"I know."
Kagome started to walk away and left him.
"Hey! I didn't think you actually meant it." He called after her and jumped in through the window grabbing her shirt. "Don't think I'm letting you get away that easy."
Inuyasha flung Kagome around to face him wrapping his arms around her waist and gave her the biggest hug ever. Her head was pressed hard against his chest and they stayed in each other's embrace for a long while until He finally let her go.
"So much for playing hard to get, Kagome."
Kagome just smirked and asked for him to meet her outside in about an hour. With that said she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left. Inuyasha jumped out the window and would be back in an hour. Unknowingly to Inuyasha or to Kagome at this point, Kagome would not meet Inuyasha in an hour. She skipped cheerfully downstairs and went to the kitchen to grab a muffin. Takashi was in the courtyard and called Kagome out to see him.
A/N: Another chapter! Sorry it took so long for me to update. I have been really busy and I tried to get a least 3000 words! And I did. Hopefully I will update by the next weekend or the one after. Because I already know the main idea for chapter 7 just need to put lots of detail and all. My original plan was not have them kiss till later but I thought the mood was right. Well I hope you enjoyed this and I hope to get tones of reviews!
