Ch.12 First Date
RECAP.
"Who is the leader here!" Miroku yelled out.
"I am." Said a man as he walked over from one of the cars. "Do you have what I asked for?"
"Yes we do. But you see there is something we ask of you first." Inuyasha said.
"And what is that?"
"I want to know that you won't come after us or ask us of anything else ever again." Inuyasha told him.
"Fair enough. I Naraku will not bother you anymore. My merchandise?" He asked.
"Right here. But you see, Kaijinbou, one of your men tried handling one of them and got it everywhere." Miroku told him.
"I see...well Kikyo will be sure to take care of it." Naraku grinned.
"And one more thing." Inuyasha said as he walked over to Naraku.
"What?" Naraku asked a little annoyed now.
"I want the crystal that you used to curse Kagome right now." He growled.
"Kikyo." Naraku said simply and looked over at her. She glarred at him and Naraku walked over to her and untied her. She reached into her pocket and tossed it to Inuyasha. He threw it on the ground and stepped hard on it.
"Thanks." Inuyasha said simply.
"Inuyasha...I swear to you that you'll see me again." Kikyo smirked. Inuyasha shrugged and kept walking to the van.
"Do you think she meant it?" Miroku asked.
"Ya...she did. And she'll probably come to us instead though. Then we'll take care of her. I promised I wouldn't kill today...but nothing will stop me next time." Inuyasha assured him.
"Well...let's go to the airport." Miroku said.
"The airport!" Inuyasha asked.
"Ya, your dad sent the girls home on a helicoptor to the hospital in Tokyo." Miroku told him.
END.RECAP.
Sango slowly opened her eyes but shut them when she looked into the light. She carefully opened her eyes again and sat up. She looked around the room and saw Miroku sitting on a chair near her bed.
"It's about time you woke up." Miroku smiled and stroked her cheek.
"Hey, where are we?" She asked.
"We're back home, in the hospital. How are you feeling?" He asked her.
"Just a little headache but i'm fine. Where's Inuyasha and Kagome?" She asked curiously when she didn't see them in the room. She saw Miroku's smile dissapear and started to worry. "They're ok right!" She asked.
"Ya, they're ok. Inuyasha is in another room with Kagome." He told her. "Kagome hasn't woken up yet."
"You guys took care of the curse right?" Sango asked.
"Ya, Inuyasha destroyed the crystal but when we got here they had her under intensive care. She was having trouble breathing and she was unconcious...she still is." He said.
"She's going to be ok though right?"
"I don't know." He said sadly.
"Can we go see her?" She asked with a sigh.
"Ya...let me got tell a doctor your up first." Miroku said and walked out of the room. The doctor let her go since her injury wasn't severe. It was just a bump on the head now. Sango and Miroku both walked into Kagome's room and Inuyasha was beside the bed with her hand in his. "How is she?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha didn't move as he kept his eyes on Kagome.
"She's still the same. Her breathing has evened out though." Inuyasha told them.
"She'll be ok though...right?" Sango asked worriedly. She stepped back when no one answered. The ringing of Inuyasha's cell phone broke the short silence. He looked at the ID caller and recognized the number.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hey Inuyasha, what's with you? You sound kind of down or tired. What's up?" Rin asked happily.
"Umm...nothing...we're back in Tokyo." Inuyasha told her.
"You are! Great! You don't sound to happy about it...What's wrong?" Rin asked.
"...We're in the hospital right now...Kagome's unconcious." He said and the line went quiet for a few seconds.
"W-what?" Rin asked. "What happend!...Is she going to be ok?" Rin asked worriedly.
"...We think so. Rin...i'll call you back." He told her and hung up. Sango couldn't help but worry and felt a few tears escape. She wiped them away and backed out of the room.
"I'll go check on her." Miroku said before he turned and left the room. Inuyasha picked Kagome's hand up and kissed the back of it.
"Hey your not supposed to do this. Your supposed to be ok after the crystal is broken. Your breaking the rules of me rescuing you." He said with a half smile trying to cheer himself up also but felt it didn't work at all. "...you know...you said you believed in me. I heard you Kagome. I heard every word you said even though I was in my demon form. You told me you believed in me. You don't have any idea how much of an affect that had on me. You believed I was strong enough to beat that...well now i'm telling you that I know you can beat this. The curse is over with. There's nothing holding you back. Just wake up...cause I believe you can." He whispered to her and stroked the side of her face.
THAT.NIGHT.
Inuyasha had fallen asleep with his head lying on the side of the bed and Kagome's hand still in his. Miroku and Sango both stayed and were resting on chairs on the side of the room. Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room to see Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango asleep. It took her just a few seconds to realize where she was. She slowly slipped her hand out of Inuyasha's and pulled off the oxygen mask. Inuyasha felt the withdrawl of her hand and slowly opened his eyes. Kagome turned her head to face him and smiled.
"You jerk, I told you I hate hospitals." She said quietly. Inuyasha didn't say anything and leaned down and kissed her and stroked her cheek. He was so relieved to see her awake. He pulled away and smiled at her.
"You bitch, I told you to stay away." He responded to her comment in a whisper.
"Sheesh you don't have to be mean about it." She smiled back.
"Hey you called me a jerk. Only fair." He smirked and left another light kiss on her lips.
"Maybe being in the hospital isn't so bad." She giggled.
"Stupid girl." He chuckled. "How are you feeling?"
"Kind of tired, and light-headed." She sighed.
"Well you can sleep now and in the morning i'll take you home so you can get some rest." He told her.
"Home? You mean...as in my apartment?" She asked with a questioning look.
"...yes?"
"We're back in Tokyo?" She asked with a smile.
"Ya." He chuckled.
"So it's finally over?" She smiled.
"Yup it's all over." He assured her.
"What time is it?" Kagome asked as she slowly sat up but regretted it instantly when she felt a sharp pain at her side.
"Ya...you should...lay back down." He said as he gently pushed her back down.
"Kinda forgot about all that." She said with a sigh.
"Kagome...i'm so-..." He started but Kagome put her hand to his mouth and shook her head.
"Don't. You have nothing to be sorry for. Don't say that Inuyasha." She told him. He kissed her hand and pulled it away from his mouth.
"Can I say sorry for hurting you at least?" He asked quietly and gently stroked his hand over her arm. She brought her hand to his face.
"Nope. It wasn't you. You were cursed and you couldn't help it." She told him. He stood up and leaned toward her and she thought he was going to kiss her but instead nuzzled her cheek before he kissed it and she felt those butterflies return once again. They both looked to the door when it opened.
"Good morning Miss. Higurashi." The nurse smiled as she walked in.
"Shh." Kagome said and looked over at her friends.
"Oh sorry." The nurse apologized with a smile.
"It's ok, good morning." Kagome whispered.
"I thought I heard noises. Glad your awake but shouldn't you be sleeping?" The nurse asked and shook her head at Inuyasha and laughed quietly. "Now now, I think you should let get some sleep. You want her to go home in the morning don't you?" She asked. Inuyasha smirked and nodded. "Alright you two, get some sleep now." The nurse told them as she walked back to the door and left the room.
"Go to sleep." Inuyasha told her. Kagome nodded.
"You too. Night." She said before closing her eyes.
"Night." He whispered and made sure she went to sleep before going to sleep himself.
"Wow it feels good to be home." Kagome said as she walked into her apartment.
"Didn't think you'd ever make it back did you?" Sango laughed.
"No but i'm glad to be back. I'm never leaving my apartment ever again." She laughed as Miroku and Inuyasha walked in behind Sango.
"If you do that then who's gonna take care of the club?" Miroku asked.
"Hmm...damn your right...well I'll enjoy being home for now." She smiled and ran off to her room.
"Don't run!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I'll run if I want mother!" Kagome yelled back from her room. Sango laughed and leaned back against the wall.
"Someone's glad to be home." She said referring to Kagome.
"I wouldn't blame her either. I wouldn't mind going home either. Get some sleep, drink a beer, watch some tv and just relax." Miroku said with smile. "Damn that sounds good."
"Ya it does. But I think i'm sticking around here for a while. I've never been in her apartment before." Sango said as she looked around.
"She never actually invited you to look around her apartment you know." Miroku chuckled and caught the pillow that was thrown at him.
"Shut up." Sango replied as Inuyasha walked off and went in the direction Kagome ran off. He knocked lightly on the door that she went through and slowly opened it. He smirked when he saw her wrapped up in her blankets on the bed.
"What are you doing?" He chuckled as he walked in and closed the door before walking over to the bed.
"Enjoying the feeling of my own bed. I missed my bed." She laughed as she hugged the covers. Inuyasha knealed down next to her bed and smirked as he looked at her. "You guys can go home you know. I'll be ok by myself. Besides I just want to go to sleep before I go to work."
"Work? You can't go to work." He told her.
"Why not? I have to." Kagome said as she sat up carefully.
"Well there's reason number one." He said referring to her cautiousness. "Kagome you just got out of the hospital."
"Ya, don't remind me." She said as she let herself fall back on the bed.
"Your supposed to rest. You shouldn't use to much of your energy, at least for a while...ok?" He said softly. Kagome turned her head to look at him with a smile. She reached her arm behind his head and brought him to her to capture his lips with her own. She pulled away and left a few light kisses on his lips before pulling the blanket over her head. Inuyasha chuckled and looked at the figure under the blankets.
"So what was that for?" He asked curiously.
"What do you think?" She asked him.
"I don't know, you tell me." He said. She pulled the blanket off her head and looked at him.
"For caring." She blushed with a smile and the butterflies returned.
"Oh ya?" He asked with a smirk.
"Ya." She smiled as he stroked her cheek.
"Maybe I should be caring more often." He said softly.
"Maybe." Kagome giggled and pulled the blanket over her head again. He chuckled thinking she was acting like a little kid who was hiding since she was shy or something. Inuyasha looked over at the door when he heard someone walk in the front door.
"Long time no see." He heard Miroku say dully and then heard a knock at Kagome's bedroom door. "What are you doing here?" He heard Sango say. Inuyasha grew curious as to who this mysterious person was but soon found out when he stepped into the room.
"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked and stood up. Kagome took the covers off her head to see who it was and her smile quickly faded away when she saw who it was then she just pulled the cover over her head once again.
"Hey Kagome, I heard you went on a trip for some time. Glad to see you made it back ok." The mysterious person said.
"Ya i'm ok. What are you doing here Hojo?" Kagome asked from under the covers.
"Just came by to see how you were doing." Hojo shrugged even though Kagome didn't see it but she did hear the growling that was coming from Inuyasha.
"Hey Hojo why don't I walk you out. It'd probably be best if you left." Miroku said and crossed his arms. Hojo glarred at Inuyasha with a smirk and walked over to the bed.
"I was wondering if we could talk Kagome." Hojo suggested. Kagome didn't answer but Inuyasha knew why and his growl grew deeper.
"Just leave." Inuyasha told him.
"Ya Kagome doesn't want to talk to you right now. Just go home so she can rest." Sango told him.
"Come on, we'll walk you out." Miroku said and walked over to him and rested his hand on Hojo's shoulder.
"I wa-..." Hojo started.
"Now." Sango said as she glarred at him.
"Please." Kagome said quietly.
"Fine whatever." Hojo rolled his eyes and got up. "I'll see you later Kagome." He said and walked out of the room followed by Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha knealed down next to the bed and rubbed her back.
"Kagome...don't cry." He said softly. "Why are you crying?" He asked.
"I don't know. It's just...we finally get back and trouble already has to start." She told him as the tears fell down her face. Inuyasha pulled the cover off of her and sat on the bed.
"Hey don't cry. He's gone. Don't worry about it." He said and leaned down over her and kissed her cheek. "Please don't cry." He whispered and wiped away her tears. She took a breath in and nodded.
"Kagome!" Came a yell from the living room and the door slammed shut. "Whoops..." The same voice said. Kagome wiped away her tears before she jumped up off the bed and ran past Inuyasha to the living room.
"Rin!" Kagome yelled as she ran over to her and hugged her. "Ow ow ow ok bad idea." Kagome said as she pulled away when Rin wrapped her arms around Kagome.
"You ok!" Rin asked worriedly.
"Ya. What's up?" Kagome asked excitedly, glad to see her friend again. Inuyasha leaned against the wall in the hallway with a smile glad to see she wasn't crying anymore.
"Not much, bout time you came back. Now you better have a good explanation for being in the hospital." Rin said sternly.
"Trust me I do." Kagome rolled her eyes and dragged her to the couch.
"Hey Sango, Hey Miroku." Rin said as she passed them up.
"Hey nice to see you again Rin." Sango smiled and Miroku waved.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Rin asked.
"Right here." He said and walked into the living room.
"Oh hey Inuyasha." Rin said with a smirk.
"Hey." He replied.
"Sango come sit down. You guys go away, this is girl time." Rin told them with a laugh.
"Er...well glad to know we're appreciated." Miroku said and looked over at Inuyasha as Sango went to sit on the couch.
"We'll go get the stuff out of the van so Kagome can get her clothes out of it." Inuyasha said and motioned for Miroku to follow.
"Thank you!" Kagome yelled after them then turned to Sango and Rin.
"So what happend?" Rin asked.
"Lots of stuff. I just got knocked out but I don't want to talk about it. Anyways, we have to do something now that i'm back." Kagome laughed.
"So much for staying home." Sango laughed.
"Ya I know...I changed my mind." Kagome shrugged.
"I'm glad you guys became friends." Rin giggled.
"Psh ya right, with that?" Kagome asked reffering to Sango.
"Like I want to be friends with you? Ugh, ya right." Sango replied before her and Kagome started laughing.
"Uhh..." Rin looked at both of them oddly.
"No." Kagome laughed. "Sango's cool. I think we've become as close as you and me." Kagome told Rin.
"Yay! This will make things fun." Rin laughed. They all looked at the door when both Inuyasha and Miroku walked in.
"Don't worry we're going." Miroku assured them as him and Inuyasha walked to Kagome's room.
"They went to my room..." Kagome said carefully after they closed the door.
"Ya...I don't know if you should let them be in there." Sango said.
"Why is that a bad thing?" Rin asked carefully.
"Anything involved with Miroku and Inuyasha being together is bad." Sango laughed as they got up and walked over to Kagome's room. They opened the door and walked in and found Miroku lying on the bed with Inuyasha sitting on the floor while they watched tv.
"What are you guys doing...?" Kagome asked.
"Watching tv." Miroku answered.
"Your on my bed." Kagome said simply.
"...why yes I am..." Miroku smirked. Inuyasha starred up at the tv but reached next to him where Kagome was standing and tripped her to fall into his lap.
"Ah! Inuyasha!" She yelled and caught a pillow Miroku threw to her and hit him on the head with a laugh.
"Hey!" Inuyasha said and took the pillow from her. "Thanks alot Miroku."
"No problem buddy." He chuckled.
"Get off." Sango ordered.
"What? Why?" Miroku asked.
"This isn't even your place!" Sango told him.
"Ya really." Kagome said to Inuyasha.
"You should be ashamed of yourselves. Making yourself comfortable in someone else's house." Rin said while shaking her head with a dissapointed look.
"Fine. I guess we should leave then." Inuyasha sighed and got up after Kagome stood up.
"I guess so. Come on Inuyasha. We can tell when we're not wanted." Miroku nodded as him and Inuyasha walked to the front door.
"Bye!" Kagome yelled when they hadn't left yet.
"Ya get to going." Sango told them.
"See ya." Rin smirked as she waved. They rolled their eyes before they walked out of the apartment. The girls all started laughing as Kagome walked over to the door.
"You going to lock them out?" Sango asked.
"No i'm going to catch them before they actually leave." Kagome said and opened the door to find the hallway empty. "Oh shit they really left." Kagome said.
"Seriously?" Sango asked.
"Ya." Kagome nodded as she started running down the hall followed by Sango but stopped when they turned the corner and jumped back.
"Now what was it? You didn't want us in your apartment or something?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome laughed and shrugged.
"Aww they got a little hurt from being kicked out." Sango laughed.
"We knew you'd come back for us." Inuyasha smirked.
"You wouldn't be able to go on with yourselves if you really did that to us." Miroku told them with a nod.
"You think so huh?" Kagome asked with a smirk. And they both nodded.
"Well Kagome, you think their right?" Sango asked her with a smirk.
"Ya I guess so, if I ever was mean then I would regret it so much...I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I'd be so depressed." Kagome sighed then looked up at Sango. "Oh well let's go inside." She laughed as they ran inside dragging Rin along. They locked the door once they got in the apartment. "Sheesh, they think pretty highly of themselves." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Ya, you don't know the half of it. But I better get going. I'll see you later though." Sango told her.
"Ok, see ya later." Kagome said and unlocked the door.
"Bye you guys." Sango said as she walked out.
"Bye." Rin smiled. "Sorry Kagg but I have to go meet Sesshomaru." Rin shrugged.
"Fine. Sheesh I just get back and your now leaving me." Kagome sighed.
"I'm sorry!" Rin apologized.
"It's ok Rin. I'll see you later." Kagome laughed and watched Rin leave and went over to the couch and lied down.
"Bye, bye Inuyasha." Rin said as he walked in and she walked out.
"Later." He said as he walked over to the couch. "Locking me out like that." He glarred.
"Shouldn't be so cocky." Kagome laughed and looked up at him as he shrugged.
"But listen, I gotta go take care of some stuff but i'll be back tonight." He assured her and leaned forward and kissed her cheek.
"...ok...but you better stay out of trouble." She said hesitantly with a glare. He chuckled and kissed her once more.
"I will. See you later." He said and walked to the door and left.
"Damn him and that gang..." Kagome sighed and reached for the remote.
5.HOURS.LATER.
Kagome woke up and realized she must have fallen asleep on the couch. She got up and turned the tv off before going into the kitchen.
"There is nothing to do." She mumbled as she looked through her fridgerator. "Wait a minute...if I come back before tonight I might be able to go...i'll probably get caught but who cares, he's gone." Kagome smirked as she went to the bathroom and showered and put on some black pants and a red blouse and put on her make-up and blow dried her hair. Once she was done she went to the table in the living room and grabbed her car keys before leaving the apartment and getting in her car. She drove off and parked in the lot at her club. She got out and walked to the door and walked in with a smile. She was glad to be able to walk into her own club once again.
"Welcome back Kagome." One of the bartenders said with a smile glad to see her back.
"Thank you. How has it been while i've been gone?" She asked.
"It's been pretty good. Hectic though. Rin was always freaking out." The guy laughed.
"Well I'm back so she can just relax now." She laughed. She walked around and looked around. 'I bet this place would look really good if I remodeled it. Maybe even a bigger stage.' She thought.
"Kagome...what are you doing here?" Rin asked and stood up quickly when she saw her.
"Shit...umm...just wandering around. Don't tell anyone i'm here Rin!" Kagome pleaded. "If Inuyasha finds out i'm dead."
"You and Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked into the room from the bathroom hearing the last of that conversation. "Never thought he'd actually trust again."
"Sesshomaru!...You didn't say you were meeting Sesshomaru at the club." Kagome told Rin.
"Umm...slipped my mind?" Rin smiled with a shrug.
"Hey Sesshomaru. You guys can't tell anyone that I came to work today." Kagome told them.
"Well you better get out of here then." Sesshomaru told her and looked at his watch.
"What? Why?" Kagome asked.
"Because he's coming here soon. I told him to meet me here so he should be here soon." Sesshomaru explained. Kagome glarred at them both with a sigh.
"I hate you two." She said simply.
"Your time is running out. Better get if you don't want him to find out." Rin laughed.
"Dammit. Bye." Kagome said as she took off running out of the back room.
"Kagome?" The bartender asked.
"I gotta go! Forgot something! Oh ya...I was never here if anyone asks!" She yelled out before opening the front door and froze when she almost ran into Inuyasha who was standing there glarring at her with his arms crossed. He shook his head at her and looked up when he saw Rin walk in from the back room but stopped when she saw Inuyasha and Kagome and hurried back to the back room. Inuyasha looked back down at Kagome and saw she was looking down at the floor away from him.
"I told you to rest...well?" He finally spoke. All thoughts of being caught didn't seem that bad when she left her apartment but she now regretted ever leaving her place.
"I did. I fell asleep once you guys left but an hour ago I woke up and I was bored. I don't have to stay home, I can take care of myself." She mumbled as she crossed her arms too but still wouldn't look up at him. "Why am I even explaining to you? You don't make decisions for me." She said and finally looked up at him when she realized what she was doing.
"If you feel that way then stay. Your right, I don't make decisions for you..." Inuyasha started but was interrupted.
"Didn't make it out in time I see." Sesshomaru said as he walked out from the back room. "You shouldn't talk to her like that, you could lose her that way. If she wants to strain herself to work then she can, let her. It's her decision, she'll be the one back in the hospital. Hope she likes hospitals." Sesshomaru shrugged. Kagome sighed and realized everyone seemed to be ganging up on her and walked past Inuyasha and started walking to the parking lot.
"Where are you going!" Inuyasha called out.
"Home. One, i'm out-numbered here and two, I am not going to a hospital." She said as she kept walking. Inuyasha smirked and nodded to Sesshomaru as a thanks before he ran off after Kagome. She was unlocking her car door when he caught up to her and she looked up at him when he stood there. "What now?"
"Come on, we'll talk about it." He chuckled and grabbed her hand. She looked at him questioningly.
"...fine." She said and locked her car once again. "Your beginning to be a real pain." She said and he wrapped his arm over her shoulders.
"Ya, but you don't mind, do you?" He smirked. She smiled and hit him playfully.
"Keep thinking that." She laughed. He rolled his eyes and led her to the back room and sat at the booth where Rin and Sesshomaru was.
"So we good now?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You mean after you guys ganged up on me like that?" Kagome asked and glarred at the two. Inuyasha chuckled and pulled her closer to him. "Whatever, where's Rin?"
"She went to the bathroom she said." Sesshomaru shrugged.
"Ya right. She was hiding from what was going on." Kagome rolled her eyes and Sesshomaru pulled out a pack of cigarettes then offered one to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome hesitantly then shook his head. Kagome smiled and leaned into him.
"Ok. Well back to business then. What did Naraku say?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Do you mind not smoking that right now?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at the cigarette. Sesshomaru looked at him then at the cigarette then looked back up at him before putting it out in the ash tray. Kagome smirked and got up and went to the bathroom to find Rin as the boys went on with their conversation. Kagome entered the bathroom and found Rin washing her hands.
"So he let you stay?" Rin asked when she saw Kagome.
"Yup, we're going to talk later. That's if he survives. He's dying out there cause Sesshomaru was smoking. He wont smoke though cause he promised me." Kagome smiled at the thought of him doing that for her.
"Ya i'm trying to talk Sesshomaru into to stopping too." Rin laughed.
"They're out there talking about that 'fun' trip I went on." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"I know, Inuyasha called Sesshomaru earlier."
"You seem to care about that girl, I've heard about the times you had to save her from her telling Rin." Sesshomaru told Inuyasha.
"So?" Inuyasha asked as he played with the sugar packets.
"Do you trust her though?" Sesshomaru asked curiously.
"Yes, I do. What's with the subject change?" He asked.
"Just curious. Kinda hard to believe cause I haven't seen you that close to a girl in a while." Sesshomaru shrugged.
"Well believe it." Inuyasha told him.
"Any idea how long this relationship will last?" Sesshomaru asked with a smirk.
"Why don't you fuck off. I don't know why you find it so amusing but just stay out of my business." Inuyasha told him with a glare and got up. Both Rin and Kagome heard Inuyasha yelling as they were walking into the back room and weren't sure whether they should walk over or go back to the bathroom. Inuyasha turned around and started walking to the front room to leave. He walked right past the girls and stormed out of the building. Kagome looked at Rin then Sesshomaru before she ran after Inuyasha. She saw him get into his car and ran over to it and opened the passenger door.
"What was that about?" Kagome asked as she bent down to look at him. He shook his head as he rested his hands on the steering wheel.
"Nothing important but i'm going. I don't want to talk to him at this point. You go home." He told her.
"...ok...you gonna be ok?" She asked him since he hadn't looked at her yet.
"Ya i'll be fine. Just go home." He told her and looked over at her. She nodded and pulled away from the car and shut the door. She stepped back and he drove off. She walked inside and told Rin she was leaving and got in her car and drove off. The moment she got home she went straight to bed.
The next few days was nothing but her staying at home and resting with Inuyasha and the others always making stops by her place to keep her company. She was getting tired of having to stay home but was also glad that a few of her injuries were begining to heal. She loved how Inuyasha would come by and take care fo her. She sometimes wished she still saw him every moment of the day like she had when they were going to Hong Kong, but it was good to be home once again.
ONE.WEEK.LATER.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Coming!" Kagome said as she ran to the door in her pajamas. She unlocked the door and opened it to let Inuyasha in. "What are you doing here so late?" She asked after giving him a quick kiss.
"I thought you've been locked up for so long that you need some fresh air. I was thinking we could go a have some dinner together." He smiled. She smiled back and nodded.
"Ok let me change." She said with a nod. She loved seeing him smile and it made her feel better seeing him smile just for her. She loved his smile. He had one of those smiles that whenever it came out it could weaken you on the spot.
"Ok go." He said and shooed her off. She smiled and ran to her room. He was wearing some black slacks, a black buttoned shirt and his leather jacket.
Kagome raided her closet for some time looking for what she was going to wear. After hearing Inuyasha say she was taking a long time she pulled out a short red dress. The top of the dress was halter-like and tied behind her neck and it hugged her to show off all her curves and went a few inches above her knees. She looked in the mirror and liked how the dress looked but when she spun around she saw that the wound on her side showed a little. She sighed and grabbed a sweater then brushed her hair through and put on her make-up. She slipped on some red pumps and grabbed her purse before running out to the front.
"Ok ok ok i'm done, let's go." She smiled and walked to the door.
"W-Wow. Uhh...ya let's go." He said after looking at her over. He watched her walk out and smiled to himself before following her out.
"Where are we going?" She asked in a shy manner.
"Anywhere you want." He smirked.
"You don't have anywhere planned?" She asked him.
"Ya but unless you want to go somewhere else." He told her.
"No let's go where you wanted to go." She told him.
"Ok...but you probably shouldn't have worn that short of a dress. Not that i'm complaining though." He chuckled as they walked out of the apartment building and walked into the parking lot. She stopped and looked at him.
"Why?" She asked him. He shrugged with a smirk and continued to walk. She followed him and started looking around. "We're not walking are we?...I don't see your car..." She told him as she looked around.
"I didn't bring my car." He told her simply with a smirk.
"We're walking?" She asked him.
"No." He told her.
"Then how are we getting there?" She asked out of confusion.
"Do you like bikes?" He asked her with a shrug.
"I've never rode one but what does...wait...no!" She yelled when she saw him walk over to a motorcycle. "Are you crazy!"
"Shh, calm down. It's kinda late and there are people asleep." He told her. "Come on." He told her and motioned her to come over.
"Inuyasha..." She said as she looked at the bike as if it were going to harm her. He chuckled and walked over to her and pushed her gently to the bike.
"Come on, it's not going to hurt you." He assured her. "Come here." He said and pulled her closer.
"I hate you right now." She glarred at him.
"No you don't come on." He chuckled as he got on the bike and patted the seat behind him. She glarred at him and crossed her arms. "Don't you want to go to dinner with me?" He asked her. She narrowed her glare even more and sighed.
"Why couldn't you bring a car like a normal person?" She asked him.
"Because I like motorcycles more." He shrugged. She sighed and dropped her arms to her sides and pouted as she got on behind him. "You might want to hold on." He smirked. She crossed her arms and looked away. Once he started the engine she jumped in surprise and wrapped her arms around his waist. She tightened her grip when he took off out of the parking lot. She shut her eyes tightly as she heard the rumble of the engine as he drove. When the motorcycle came to a complete stop she slowly opened her eyes but didn't let go of Inuyasha. When she saw they had arrived she let go of him. "Oh wow I can breathe again." He said and rubbed his stomach.
"Jerk." She said simply as she glarred at him and he laughed.
"I was only kidding. Come on sweetheart. We're here so let's get inside." He said and helped her off.
"Isn't this like our actual first date?" Kagome giggled.
"Yup, I believe so." Inuyasha chuckled and wrapped his arm over her shoulders and kissed her cheek and led her inside to the front booth. "Inuyasha Kappei." He told the man.
"Ah, so you made reservations? You really had this planned huh?" Kagome asked with a smile as they were led to their table.
"I had to make it special. Anything with you should be special." He smirked. She smiled and leaned into him and he let his arm drop to wrap around her waist. She loved it when he held her. She felt so safe being in his arms and feeling him against her. It was starting to become an obsession of wanting to be able to feel him near her. They sat down at their table and she was kind of dissapointed when the chairs were across from each other but sat down without a word. He sat down across from her as they looked over the menu. "Let's see...we know no seafood cause you have a problem and don't like it." He smirked since she couldn't see him cause the menu blocked his face.
"Well excuse me." She glarred.
"Ya...only wierd people don't like seafood." He said but dropped the menu when he got kicked in the shin. "Ah shit. I was only kidding." He said as he bent forward and rubbed his shin. He smirked and grabbed her foot.
"Hey!" She yelled quietly. He took her shoe off as he looked down at his menu acting like he wasn't doing anything.
"What?" He asked with a smile. She smirked and pulled her foot away.
"Nothing." She said simply and looked over her menu. They both took a few minutes before they decided and ordered.
"You never finished telling me about the shikon jewel." She told him.
"What was I supposed to tell you?" He asked.
"I don't know...I thought there was more." She shrugged.
"No, I don't know what you wanted to know." He said.
"You know what? I was thinking about remodeling the club." She told him trying to start a conversation.
"Really? Why? You don't like how it looks?" He asked her.
"Well I was just thinking it could look better but i'm beginning to have second thoughts." She told him.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because it's going to cost alot and I don't have that kind of money so I might just sell it so it won't have to cause me anymore trouble...but I don't want to give it up." She laughed, unable to make up her mind.
"Well i'm sure you'll be able to work something out where you can still keep it." He assured her.
"Maybe." She nodded as the waiter came and delivered their food. They started eating in silence but it was starting to bother Kagome. "So does this mean i'm allowed to actually leave my apartment now?" She asked. Inuyasha smirked and nodded.
"Yes you can leave it. Smartass." He chuckled. She shrugged with a smile. "As long as your careful." He told her. She nodded and took a sip of her drink then looked up at Inuyasha.
"So what was today? You were just bored so I got to go out to dinner because of it and sit quietly?" She asked.
"Funny. No I wanted to see you if that's so hard to believe." He said honestly with a smirk.
"Aww how sweet but the dinner? You couldn't see me at home?" She asked curiously.
"Ya I could have but I knew you were tired of staying home." He shrugged.
"Ok but what I don't get is how you actually have time for me cause what i've heard is that your so wrapped up in this gang of yours that you never have time for anything else." She explained.
"Ya? Well maybe I found something more important to do." Inuyasha said with a smile before he picked up his drink. Kagome smiled with a blush across her cheeks and looked down at her food.
"So what do we do about us sitting here in silence after every few sentences?" She asked and looked back up at him to see his amber eyes looking back at her.
"I don't know. I kind of liked the conversation we were having." He smirked. She blushed and looked back at him as the butterflies continued to flutter in her stomach.
KOGA'S.PLACE.
"Inuyasha and Kagome too!" Sango told Koga.
"Ya, where is that mutt anyways?" Koga asked.
"I don't know, he doesn't really stay with the gang like he used to. He usually just checks in for about an hour then leaves." Miroku explained with a shrug.
"Sounds like something...or someone has caught little Inuyasha's attention." Ayame smiled happily.
"You can say that again, that boy has been going to Kagome's place to see her so many times now." Sango smiled too.
"Hmm, I want to meet this Kagome. She must be something to be able to change Inuyasha this way." Ayame said as she sorted through the written invitations.
"Inuyasha isn't one to change his schedule just for a girl though. This is different for him." Koga said seriously as he wrote out more names on some more invitations.
"Yes it is. And we couldn't be happier. Bout time that boy has had something to give him a reason to smile more. I haven't seen him smile so much in a long time now." Sango said as she looked through some bridal magazines.
"Kind of different to see but at least he's happy for once." Miroku shrugged.
"Well, enough with Inuyasha for now. We have a wedding to plan. We'll call him a little later and see where he is. See if he really is with Kagome." Ayame nodded as she went over to Sango and started looking through the magazines also.
INUYASHA.AND.KAGOME.
"What now?" Kagome asked as they walked out of the restaraunt.
"How about some ice cream?" He asked as they walked down the sidewalk with his arm around her.
"Sounds good." She smiled as they walked to the closest ice cream parlor. They sat down at one of the tables with their ice creams.
"What's wrong?" He asked as she sat there quietly.
"Huh? Oh nothing, tired." She smiled.
"Did you want to go home?" He chuckled. She shook her head and he got up and went to sit next to her.
"I'm having fun now." She giggled and he pulled her close to him.
"Come on, we'll start walking back. Just bring your ice cream and you can eat it on the way." He told her as he stood up. She nodded and got up and walked with him outside.
"Oh wow. Now know why you don't eat ice cream at night." She giggled as she wrapped her free arm over herself. Inuyasha chuckled and walked behind her with his arm wrapped around her as he ate his ice cream. "And you had to bring a motorcycle." She told him.
"Here." He said as he laughed and took off his jacket and put it over her shoulders. "How are you cold? Your wearing a sweater." He told her.
"Maybe you didn't notice the lack of clothing I have on over my legs." She told him and grabbed his ice cream and shoved it over his mouth.
"Hey!" He complained and licked it off. "Well excuse me, at least it wasn't that leather skirt." He chuckled.
"Shut up." She glarred.
"Not that I mind you wearing that though." He chuckled. She rolled her eyes trying not to laugh as she ate her ice cream. Inuyasha shrugged and grabbed his cell phone when it started ringing.
"Ya, you keep dreaming." She giggled as he answerd his phone.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hey, is that Kagome I hear?" Miroku asked slyly.
"Ya, what's up?" Inuyasha asked as he picked some ice cream up with his finger and smeared it on Kagome's face.
"Hey! That's cold!" She yelled as she wiped it away.
"Nothing, just wondering what you were up to." Miroku said as he heard Inuyasha laugh.
"Just with Kagome right now. Where are you?" He asked.
"At Koga's, we're helping him plan his wedding." Miroku told him.
"Oh, well i'll ask Kagome and maybe we'll stop by." Inuyasha told him.
"Great, Ayame has been wanting to meet her anyway. Well try not to have to much fun." Miroku joked with a chuckle.
"Ya whatever Miroku. See ya later." Inuyasha said and hung up.
"Jerk." Kagome said as she still tried to get the ice cream off. Inuyasha chuckled and wrapped both his arms around her from behind and wiped the ice cream off.
"Poor baby." He chuckled and licked the ice cream off his finger. "It's just ice cream, you did it to me first." He told her. She laughed and turned her head to him.
"What were you going to ask me?" She asked him.
"If you want to go stop by Koga's house and meet Ayame. Everyone's over there planning their wedding." Inuyasha told her and kissed her cheek.
"Ya let's go." She told him.
"I thought you were tired?" He asked.
"Ya but It's ok, I want to meet Ayame, plus I haven't seen Koga in a while since I been locked up in my apartment." She said and glarred at him.
"Well you can see him now." He chuckled as they walked up to his bike.
"Ya let's go, to bad i'll probably freeze my ass off by time we get there." She sighed. He chuckled and leaned down to her.
"Your just to damn cute." He smirked before kissing her. She blushed from his comment and felt the butterflies had gone crazy and flew every which way as she kissed him back. "Come on let's go." He pulled away and got on the bike. She nodded and got on behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist as he took off. In mere minutes it seemed they had arrived in his driveway.
"Damn it's cold. Hurry hurry." Kagome said as she got off the bike and hugged Inuyasha's jacket around her and ran to the door. Inuyasha laughed as he followed her and knocked on the door.
"Hey! Open the door!" He yelled.
"No! Go home! We don't want you here!" Koga yelled from the other side of the door.
"Koga! It's cold! This dumbass had his motorcycle!" Kagome pleaded as she tried to keep herself warm.
"Hmm...I guess." Koga smirked as he opened the door. "Hey Kagome." He laughed as she walked in and gave him a quick hug.
"Hey. Thanks for opening the door." She said dully while giving him a narrowed look. He chuckled and shrugged.
"Hey Kagome, hey Inuyasha." Sango said as she walked over with Miroku.
"Hey guys." Miroku said.
"This is Ayame. Ayame this is Kagome." Sango said as she dragged Ayame over.
"Hi nice to meet you." Kagome said and shook her hand.
"Hi...oh wow, your hands are cold." Ayame laughed.
"Ya I know, sorry." Kagome said and wrapped her arms around herself.
"Hey Ayame, so I hear your marrying that wolf." Inuyasha said as he wrapped his arms around Kagome to keep her warm.
"Inuyasha, be nice." Ayame shook he head. Inuyasha shrugged and looked over at Miroku.
"So what's going on? Was there a reason you called?" He asked.
"Not really. We were just talking about you and decided to give you a call." Miroku shrugged.
"Well glad I'm so interesting to talk about for you people." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Congratulations, I heard you were pregnant and now your getting married. Are you excited?" Kagome asked Ayame.
"Ya, more nervous though. There's so much to plan before the wedding but I want to get married before I get fat." Ayame laughed.
"See that's what you get for letting Koga knock you up like that." Sango said as she walked by and walked over to Koga and Miroku.
"Shut up Sango." Ayame told her even though she knew she was kidding. Inuyasha gave Kagome a squeeze before letting go. Kagome looked at him and he walked over to the others.
"When do you plan to have the wedding?" Kagome asked her curiously.
"Next month...soon huh?" Ayame said with a shrug.
"Ya but if you love him then that doesn't matter." Kagome assured her.
"Ya your right." Ayame smiled. "Want some coffee or something?" She asked.
"No it's ok. I'm hoping to go home soon. I'm tired." Kagome laughed.
"Ok, why don't you come sit down. I'll be right back, I'm going to go make some more coffee." Ayame told her. Kagome nodded and sat on the couch and wrapped the jacket around her. Ayame went to the kitchen for a while waiting for the coffee to make and brought out all the cups.
"Hey, need some help?" Sango asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"I could always use help, thanks." Ayame smiled.
"So what do you think of Kagome?" Sango asked.
"She is so nice, wow I don't know how Inuyasha got someone like her." Ayame laughed. "No but really, she's nice and i'm glad Inuyasha got someone like her." Ayame smirked.
"Ya, Kagome is a good person, i've been with her for a long time now. She's got a great personality and she's fun. I've finally found the right person who wont be afraid to go out and have fun." Sango said while glarring at Ayame.
"Well excuse me, at least you have Kagome now. Come let's go give these people their coffee." Ayame said as she picked up a few mugs and walked out of the kitchen with Sango. After the two passed out the coffee Ayame went back to the couch. "So where do you-..." Ayame started but stopped herself when she looked down at Kagome. She smiled and walked over to Inuyasha. She tapped his shoulder and told him to lean down to her. He gave her a questioning look but did what she said. "Go over to the couch." She whispered to him. He looked at her oddly but she dragged him over and he saw Kagome had fallen asleep on the couch. He smirked and knealed down in front of her and rubbed her arm.
"Hey Kagome." He said softly. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha in front of her. "You want to go home?" He asked. She didn't answer and just stood up. He stood up and chuckled. "Ok i'll take you home." He told her and led her over to Miroku. "Let me borrow your car." He told him.
"Why?" Miroku asked carefully as he pulled out his keys.
"I'm going to take Kagome home. She's falling asleep. I'll be back though, i'm not about to leave my motorcycle here." Inuyasha assured him.
"Oh ok." Miroku said and handed Inuyasha his keys.
"Aww your so sweet Inuyasha." Sango teased him before she took a sip of her coffee.
"Nicer then you." He said back and smirked when she glarred at him. He chuckled as he led Kagome outside to the car. "You should have said you wanted to go home." He told her after he got in the drivers side. She shrugged and leaned against the door. He smirked and drove out of the driveway and headed to her apartment. When he got there she had fallen asleep once again and he smirked as he got out and went over to the passengers side and opened the door. He leaned in and picked her up bridal style and went inside to the elevator and went up to her floor. He walked to her apartment and was glad she left it unlocked but needed to tell her to keep it locked. He walked into her room and saw clothes spread out over her bed and dresser when he walked in. He just pulled her blanket out from under all the clothes and went out to the couch. "Is it that hard to pick out clothes?" He asked as he lied her on the couch. He took his jacket off of her and lied it on top of her then pulled the blanket over her. "See you tomorrow." He whispered and kissed her forehead before walking to the door.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sleepily.
"Ya, go to sleep. Good night." He told her before leaving her after he could tell she had fallen back asleep.
"HEY! KAGOME!" Sango yelled as she banged on the door.
"KAGOME WAKE UP!" Rin yelled.
Kagome opened her eyes when she heard the noises and sat up. She looked around when she realized she wasn't in her room. She pulled the blanket off of her and saw the jacket Inuyasha was wearing last night fall to the floor. She smiled to herself and picked it up and walked to the door almost tripping over her purse which was on the floor. She opened the door and looked at the four girls at her door tiredly.
"Hi, what's going on?" She asked sleepily.
"We're going shopping and we were going to bring you." Ayame told her.
"I still have to take a shower and get ready." Kagome told her.
"We'll wait. You go get ready." Sango told her as they walked in.
"Ok..." Kagome said hesitantly and went straight to her restroom after putting Inuyasha's jacket on her couch.
"Aww looky here." Katsuki said as she picked up the jacket from the couch. "This is the one we got for him." Katsuki told them.
"Oh your right. Kagome was wearing it last night when she came over to Koga's house. He must have let her wear it since she was cold." Sango explained.
"Did you call the guys?" Ayame asked Sango.
"Yup, their going to meet us at the mall. I couldn't get a hold of Inuyasha though." Sango shrugged.
"Call again." Rin said and handed her Kagome's phone.
"Ok." Sango nodded and dialed his cell phone number. He picked up after four rings.
"Hey sweetheart." He answered sleepily.
"Hey honey, what are you up to?" Sango asked trying hard to keep in her laughter.
"Sango?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yup, did you think I was Kagome?" Sango teased as she laughed.
"What do you want?" He asked with a yawn. Ayame took the phone from Sango since she was laughing to much to tell him what was going on.
"We wanted to go shopping for the wedding. You know, pick out clothes and stuff. All the guys are meeting us at the mall." Ayame explained to him.
"How many of you are over there?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Just me, Sango, Rin and Katsuki." Ayame shrugged.
"When are you going?" He asked.
"After Kagome gets ready. You going or not?" She asked.
"I guess. I'll meet you at the mall." He told her.
"Great, see you later." Ayame said and hung up.
"How come he didn't answer when we called?" Rin asked.
"He was probably asleep and wouldn't answer unless it was Kagome." Katsuki smiled. "How sweet."
"What's sweet?" Kagome asked as she walked out of her room in a pair of flared jeans, a white tank top and with her hair left wet.
"Love." Ayame said simply with a shrug. Sango elbowed her and Katsuki looked over at her.
"Uhh...ok...So why are we going to the mall?" Kagome asked them as she put her shoes on.
"So we can look at dresses to get for the wedding. We decided to make it a group outting." Katsuki told her.
"The guys are meeting us at the mall too. Ayame decided to make it a small wedding so it's mostly her family that's going to be involved in it." Sango shrugged and picked up the jacket and handed it to Kagome. "Come on let's go." She told her. Kagome nodded and put the jacket on and grabbed her purse before they walked out of the apartment.
