Inuyasha followed her close, so close that Kagome was sure that if anyone saw them, they'd be sure that Kagome and Andre were a couple. She sighed, amused. It was almost as if he was possessive. Like Inuyasha used to be. . . Kagome thought sadly.

Inuyasha smelt a restaurant from down the street. Suddenly, he realized he was hungry.

"Hey, you wanna go get something to eat?" He asked hopefully. Kagome chuckled and nodded. Boys and their appetites. He held the door for her and they walked inside. Kagome hadn't paid attention to where they were. It was only when she saw the interior that she recognized it. Her mom worked here.

The young hostess smiled at Kagome, recognizing her. "How many?" She asked dutifully.

"Just two." Kagome replied quietly.

"Smoking or non?" She asked again. This time Inuyasha answered, not leaving time for Kagome to even attempt answering.

"Non. Please." He added the please in an after-thought. He couldn't stand the smoking sections. He got dizzy and sick from the smells. Kagome glared at him, shocked at his abrupt interjection. He smiled apologetically. The woman smiled again and asked for them to follow her. She sat them in a candle-lit table. Kagome suddenly realized how much this seemed like a date. She only hoped her mom wasn't working soon.

One of her mother's friends, Luarna, came to serve them. She winked at Kagome when she saw her date.

"Hello, my name's Luarna and I'll be serving you today. Have we decided?" Inuyasha smiled and held up a finger to stop Kagome.

"She'll have a raspberry lemonade and the Chicken Alfredo. Her sauce on this side, please." Kagome stared at him, her mouth open. How did he. . . . He grinned and then went on.

"And I'll have a water with a jack-burger and french fries." He handed Luarna both their menus. She slightly bowed and scurried away. Kagome still gaped at him.

"How did you know that?" She asked. He flashed another smile.

"I'm just that amazing." He winked and Kagome leaned back against the booth, still awed.

"How's the football team doing?" She asked. Inuyasha grinned.

"It's great. We have a game this coming Friday. Will you come?" The look in his eyes made Kagome melt.

"Sure." She said with a smile. He grinned back.

"Great, it'll be fun. I hear Hojo might be there." Inuyasha smirked. But he didn't expect Kagome's reaction. She was angry.

"I don't care if Hojo's there or not. People have already started assuming that anywhere he is, I am there too. Well it's not so! I just. . . ." She stared silent into the dancing fire of the candle.

"I'm sorry, I know what it's like to have to prove people you're not like what they think." Kagome smiled. He knew how she felt.

"Yeah, it just. . . .annoys me so much! I just wish that I could prove them wrong. I mean, Hojo's a great guy, really, it's just that I think people forsake me. He does as well. My last relationship before him was like that too. Guys think that once they get the first date, I'm theirs and that they shouldn't care what happens to me after that. People don't seem to care about my feeling much." Inuyasha felt his stomach drop. She was talking about him. His guilt returned and he smiled weakly.

"I care about your feelings. And I know how to convince them you're not Hojo's property." Kagome arched an eyebrow. Inuyasha grinned.

"Go to prom with me." He said and Kagome grinned.

"Of course." The rest the day Kagome pranced around giddy. She was going to prom with her dream date. Life couldn't get any better. . . . .
