Kagome groaned and pulled her jacket closer to her. What had she agreed to? She had sat for the last twenty minutes in freezing temperatures and now it had begun drizzling. She sighed. At least Andre was glad she was there. Few people had braved the weather, she one of them, and he had spotted her easily in the crowd and a grin had spread across his face.
They should cancel this game on account of freezing weather, Kagome thought. Somebody's going to come down with frostbite! But she had promised to come and support Andre and that's what she was doing. At halftime, she was sure to fun and get a cup of hot chocolate.
It was only at the end of the game that Kagome even noticed the score. When the buzzer sounded, she looked up and gasped. Seventy-two to seven. Was that even possible? Her attention was quickly drawn to the Mimori team who was boisterously celebrating their first victory of the season, Andre lifted on the shoulders of his teammates, gripping the victory ball. Grinning, Kagome stood and went to the edge of the bleachers.
Inuyasha quickly spotted her and grinned at her, waving. She laughed and waved back as he forced himself back to the ground and ran to her. He grinned as he placed his helmet on a post and hauled himself up the bleachers to stand equal to her.
"I'm really glad you came . . . and stayed." He said. He really liked this game. He liked even more that he was really good at it.
"I can't say the same," she giggled, "But you're really great. You were the best one out there." Inuyasha grinned, his pride swelling. If she noticed it, everyone else must've too.
"I know I'm kind of gross right now, but do you want to meet me somewhere once I get cleaned up?"
"Yes." Kagome replied instantly, before her mind was even capable of processing the question. Inuyasha's grin widened to light his entire face.
"So, Fates?" He named the restaurant inside his hotel. Kagome grinned. All they ever did together was eating. He had the appetite of a horse.
"Yeah, I'll see you there." And with a chaste, unexpected kiss, Inuyasha left Kagome standing bewildered on the bleachers. Numbly, she climbed down the steps and out of the stadium. Unbeknownst to her, someone was watching.
