The night had past and Inuyasha was taking his drum set apart. This time he drove a car so Kagome would have something safer to be in. Sango left with Miroku in her Volvo to go to the condo. Inuyasha and Kagome got into the car and drove off. Kagome looked out the window of his 1967 Mustang. Inuyasha smiled at her as he drove as Kagome smiled back.
"So, where do you wanna go?" Inuyasha asked in an exhausted voice.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you sound tired". Kagome said soothingly.
Inuyasha yawned and turned to Kagome with a grin. "I'm fine, now where do you want to go?"
"Um…" Kagome paused thinking. "Wherever you'd like". She said with a giggle.
Inuyasha sighed and shrugged. "Ok, but you better not complain!" Inuyasha turned left and pressed the gas as it screeched. They drove for a couple minutes then the got to a little restaurant.
"It's Village Inn…the only place I know that is open this late". Inuyasha looked at her. She turned to him and grinned.
"It sounds good".
"Hi, welcome to Village Inn. Smoking or none?" The waitress asked holding a couple menus.
"None…" Inuyasha replied. "A booth please".
The waitress nodded. Inuyasha and Kagome followed the lady to their table and with a smile the waitress asked. "What would you two like for a drink".
"Diet Coke". Kagome said.
"Same". Inuyasha said looking at the menu.
The woman nodded and walked off. Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was still looking at the menu.
"So, how did you and the band get together?" Kagome asked playing with a salt shaker.
"In high school we met and started it". Inuyasha said looking up at Kagome. The waitress dropped off the Cokes and walked off. He put the menu down and sighed. "What do you want to eat?"
Kagome picked up her menu and ran her fingers through her long, thick hair.
Inuyasha bit his lip as he watched her. Inuyasha turned back to his menu.
"What should you eat at a time like this?" Kagome asked confused.
"Well…I get the Denver Melt, but that's just me". Inuyasha said sipping his Coke.
Kagome grinned and said. "That sounds good".
Inuyasha smiled and waved for the waitress. Inuyasha ordered and so did Kagome. She smiled and walked off with the orders. As the two of them waited for food, Inuyasha used his spoon and knife as drum sticks and lightly tapped on the table. Kagome looked up at him with a small smile. Suddenly, her cellophane rang. Kagome grinned and pulled out the slick pink phone from her purse.
"Hello?" Kagome said.
"Kagome, it's your mother!" The lady snapped.
"Mom?" Kagome said confused. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her reaction to her mother.
"You never call so I called you". Her mother said happily.
"Mom, it's one in the morning!" Kagome said.
"Well, I just wanted to check on you… I know you wouldn't be asleep with those over-night cram sessions of yours". Her mother giggled.
"Well, I'm kind of busy Mom, sorry". Kagome said hanging up the phone before her Mother could reply.
Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha staring at her confused. She began to blush at the embarrassment of her mother. "You know Mothers…" Kagome smiled.
Inuyasha had the puppy look on his face, but suddenly looked down at his fork and knife.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah". Inuyasha piped up. He looked from side to sided and growled. "When is that damn food coming!"
Kagome looked at him confused. He knew there was something wrong, but didn't bother to ask.
The food finally came and Inuyasha was pleased. He rammed the food in his mouth like he had been starving. Kagome stared at him wide-eyed as he ate like an animal. Inuyasha looked up blushing. "Uh, sorry. Drumming can really make you hungry".
Kagome smiled and took small bites. She looked up at him and noticed he would constantly look up at her. "Is there something on my face?" Kagome asked.
"No" Inuyasha replied.
"Then stop looking at me!" Kagome teased. Inuyasha smirked and then looked at his food.
"What?" Kagome asked confused. Inuyasha shrugged still looking at the dish.
"Nothing…what do you wanna do after this?" Inuyasha asked looking up with no expression.
Kagome looked at him with a soft face with an awkward look on her face. Do after this? It's almost one in the morning…I have to go to bed. "Well…I think I'll go home". Kagome said with a smile. "I have to study for finals next week".
Inuyasha looked up at the girl. "Finals?" Inuyasha asked. "We don't do finals till the end of the year at my college".
"Speaking of which…" Kagome said taking a bite from her meal. "Why are you here? I mean, you have school too and Mr. Monk says your school is out of town".
Inuyasha smiled and shrugged again. "It's our semester break already…you guys still have two weeks".
Kagome looked up at him. "Oh". She looked down again and noticed she was done.
She looked up at Inuyasha who was smiling. "Ready to split?" He asked calmly.
"Sure". Kagome said grabbing her purse. They went to the counter, paid, and walked to Inuyasha's car. Kagome forgot that they were driving a Mustang. Inuyasha grabbed the handle of the passenger side and let her in the 1967 automobile. Kagome smiled at him as she slid into the car. Inuyasha closed the door and walked to the other side and got in. He put the key in the ignition and sped off. They were going so fast Kagome's skirt began to rise. She had trouble holding it down and asked. "Could you slow down a little?"
Inuyasha looked down at her skirt and then looked up at her face with a smirk. His foot floored the gas and they went even faster. Kagome screamed as the Mustang dodged other cars. "Are you crazy! I'm going to loose that Denver Melt!" Kagome held on to her skirt tighter. "Stop!" She yelled. The car suddenly stopped in a parking lot. "Are you crazy!"
Inuyasha looked up at her with no expression and asked. "Did you have fun?"
Kagome's eyes were fiery red. Her glare was indescribable. "Of course not!" Kagome crossed her arms. "Take me home…safely".
Inuyasha put it in drive with a sigh and backed up. He didn't say anything until they got to the condo. Kagome was getting out of the car until suddenly Inuyasha grabbed her hand. "Kagome?" He asked.
"What is it?" Kagome asked stern.
Inuyasha sighed and gave her his famous puppy face. "You think…that…maybe we could…go on…another…" Inuyasha gulped. "Date?"
"Date?" Kagome asked. This was a date?
"Uh…" Kagome couldn't say no to that puppy dog face of his but…she didn't know what to do. She was mad at him for driving like a maniac but…his eyes…they said something to her…she didn't know what but it was something important. "I guess". Kagome sighed. Inuyasha smiled. Kagome was an inch from closing the door until Inuyasha spoke.
"Hey". Kagome looked up at his smile. "What's your phone number?"
"733-8934". She said with a small grin.
"Oh wait…"Inuyasha stopped her from closing the door.
"What?" Kagome said some what annoyed.
"Miroku might be in there with your friend…so…uh…be careful".
Kagome winced at him wondering what he meant then suddenly an image popped into her head. "Oh…" Kagome paused. "Sango wouldn't do that…not when she just met them…but thanks anyway". Kagome closed the door and walked to the door of the condo. She pulled out the key and opened the door slowly. Kagome walked in and noticed that she didn't hear any voices. She turned to Sango's room and opened it slowly. She saw Sango...sleeping…alone. Kagome sighed and continued to walk to her room. She plopped on the bed exhausted and fell asleep.
Kagome woke up with a big yawn. She turned to her clock and noticed it was noon. She missed church. Kagome sighed and walked slowly to the door. She walked to the kitchen and noticed no one else was awake. Sango must have still been sleeping. Kagome walked to the kitchen to grab a pop tart. When she passed the phone she noticed there was a message. She pressed the button and listened.
"You have one message". The answering machine spoke slowly.
"Hey, it's Inuyasha. I guess you're out or still asleep, but anyway, I was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner somewhere a little fancier…but it would be with my brother and his girlfriend…but just call me back.733-2519. Bye". Inuyasha's voice stopped.
"End of message". The message stopped.
Kagome sighed pulling out a pop tart. "The next day he wants to go out for dinner?"
Kagome grabbed the pop tart and put it in her mouth. "He has a brother?" Kagome walked to the living room and watched some T.V.
Sango woke up and walked slowly to the kitchen.
"Hey". Kagome said nicely.
Sango nodded and grabbed a pop tart too and flew herself on the couch.
"Are you ok?" Kagome asked looking at her friend.
"Hang over…" Sango said bitterly. "My head feels like crap".
"Well…it didn't look like you drank that much". Kagome said biting her pop tart.
Sango sat watching the T.V and didn't reply, but changed the subject. "So, that Inuyasha guy seemed hot…" Sango said rubbing her head.
Kagome gulped and smiled. "Yeah…uh…he left a message and asked me to go to dinner with him and his brother".
"His brother?" Sango said confused with no expression. "Why?"
Kagome shrugged and turned back to the T.V. "Should I go?"
"Sure…" Sango said. "You should call him back".
"Yeah…I'll do that later, but don't you think it's strange that he wants to go on another date the next day?" Kagome asked.
"No…I guess he just likes you…get use to it". Sango stood up and walked to her room "I'm going back to bed".
"Uh, Sango… Can I borrow your car?" Kagome asked. "For later?"
"Sure…" Sango asked still rubbing her head.
"Thanks".
Kagome got dressed into a light T-shirt and a pair of jeans. She put her hair in a pony. She turned to the phone and reached out her hand to pick it up. She dialed the number she remembered from the message. It ringed.
"Hello?" A rough voice said.
"Hi Inuyasha, it's Kagome".
"Hey Kagome, Did you get my message?" Inuyasha spoke with a happy voice.
"Yeah…Uh, sure…I'll come for dinner". Kagome said with a smiled.
"Ok, great, I'll pick you up a seven and Kagome?" Inuyasha paused.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Wear something fancy like a dress or something".
"Ok. See you later…" Kagome said. "Bye".
"Bye".
Kagome hung up the phone with a smile. She was excited until suddenly she thought. What am I going to wear? She rushes to her room and looks around. "I don't have anything!" Kagome yelled to herself. Kagome walks to her purse and pulls out her credit card. "Guess I better get something". She walked down the hallways, grabbed Sango's car key and dashed out the door. She got into the car and drove off to the mall. She finally found a parking space and walked up to American Eagle. She looks around and notices a cute skirt that goes to your lower knee, but if she got that she'd have to get a matching shirt. The skirt was a beautiful white with a greenish tint. She found a shirt to match, bought both of them and went home.
