CHAPTER V.1: A DATE TO REMEMBER
Fuuko didn't know what to think. She was in the middle of two gorgeous men, each of them holding one of her hands. What kind of situation was this? It was as if both of them were fighting over her. Which was impossible since Tokiya already rejected her and Sesshoumaru didn't seem to be the kind of guy who would like a girl like her.
"I told you to let go of her." Tokiya said pulling her.
"You're the one who should let go." Sesshoumaru retorted back also pulling her.
"Stop it guys." She said.
But the two men just continued giving each other dagger glances while pulling her like she was some kind of a rope. When she told them again to stop, they did not listen. So finally, her patience just snapped.
"I said stop it!" She shouted. "Stop pulling me like I'm some kind of a rope! You're not playing tug-of-war here." That caught their attention and they immediately let go of her hands. She turned to face Tokiya. "I'm going with Shou-chan with or without your permission. So don't stop me."
"What's wrong with you? You almost die going to that feudal era and you still want to go back? You will stay here and we're going back to Tokyo. And that's final." Tokiya said with authority in his voice.
She furrowed her brows. She didn't understand why Tokiya was acting like this. Acting like he really cared about her. "Stop it. I'm not going anywhere with you. That's the last thing that I would do." She looked at him with narrowed eyes. "As far as I can remember, you told me that you don't want to have anything to do with me. Or did you already forget that?"
Tokiya looked as if he was about to say something but then he just bit his bottom lip and said, "Fine! Do whatever you want!"
With that, he turned and left them.
"I think he doesn't want you to be with me." Sesshoumaru said. "Is he your lover?"
She suddenly blushed because of the question. "N-no! Of course not."
He looked at her levelly. "Then maybe he likes you."
A bitter smile crossed her lips, remembering the how coldhearted Tokiya rejected her. "That's impossible."
"You really don't have to go back with me. I just waited for you to wake up and after I made sure that's you're out of harm's way, I'm planning to go back by myself."
"No!" she immediately said. "I'm going back with you. There's someone waiting for me, a little girl," she continued thinking of the little girl Rin, "I'm pretty sure she's really worried about me right now. I'm just going to show myself to her then after that, I'll come back here."
He looked at her for a while then said, "I see. Then it's best if we leave now."
"Before we go back, can I eat first? I'm really starving right now."
"Then I'll just wait for you here."
Fuuko immediately shook her head. "That won't do, you're eating with me."
Before Sesshoumaru could answer, Fuuko suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the house.
When Fuuko entered the house she immediately smelled the delicious smell of food coming from the kitchen. She pulled Sesshoumaru in that direction and saw Kagome cooking. Fuuko immediately asked where her aunt, Kagome's mother, and their grandfather were. Her cousin told her that both of them were at their house in Tokyo with her mother. Apparently, her mother almost had a nervous breakdown because of the news that she was missing. But she was fine now. And Kagome already told them that she was already found and that she was safe.
After a while, Souta came down. Fuuko immediately hugged her cousin. "Souta! I missed you, kiddo."
"Fuuko-nee, I- I can't b-breath."
She released him. "Sorry, I just really missed you."
"I'm glad you're alright now, Fuuko-nee." Souta said then his gaze went to Sesshoumaru. "Ohayou, Sesshoumaru-san."
Fuuko was a little baffled because her kid cousin didn't even seem afraid of Sesshoumaru. "Wow Souta, you're not afraid of him?"
"Well, I'm used to Inu Yasha coming here, so these kinds of things really not affect me anymore."
"Why don't all of you go to the dining room? I'll be finish cooking in a minute." Kagome said.
They went to the dining room. When Kagome finished cooking, they started to eat.
"Where's Mikagami-san?" Kagome asked.
She immediately felt irritated when she heard the name of that guy. "Let him be. He's not a kid anymore. He can eat when he's hungry."
After they finished eating…
"Hey, Shou-chan, have you gone out of this shrine during these past three days?" Fuuko asked.
"No, the air here upsets me. So as much as possible, I stayed here."
"What? That's such a waste! You've been here for three days and you didn't even go to a single place." Then an idea came to her head. "I know. Before we go back to the feudal era, why don't we go sightseeing here first?"
"Is that really needed? It seems to be such a waste of time."
"Hey, don't say that. It's not every day that you can go to a place five hundred years in the future. So why don't you just make the best of it?" she looked at him and smiled, "What do you say?"
Sesshoumaru looked at Fuuko's face and he knew he couldn't resist that sweet smile on her lips. He just let out a sigh. "Fine."
"Yey!" Fuuko said gleefully, then she looked at Sesshoumaru. "But you will attract too much attention with that kind of get up."
"I can lend him some clothes." Kagome said, she really can't help but smile on how the two seemed to be so close. "I stock a few male clothes here because of Inu Yasha. We really can't have a proper date if he always wears that red kimono."
When her cousin mentioned the word 'date', for some unknown reason, Fuuko blushed. If she and Sesshoumaru went out, it will really look like they're having a date. She shook he head. "What the hell am I thinking?"
To be continued…
A/N: okay, so this is the update you've been waiting for. Yes, I know. It's been so long since I last updated. But please, bear with me. I've been so busy these past months that I didn't have the time to write this.
This is just the first part of chapter 5. That's why it's short. I don't know when I can write the rest but please look forward to it.
Arigatou minna-san! And please don't forget to write your review.
