The Big Date

At 7:30 P.M., Kagome rushed to her mirror. This date was supposed to be very important. She lightly applied a lilac eye shadow, and a pink lip gloss.

'Tonight is my time to shine.'

She slipped on a thin sewn tank top with pink ribbon and tightly fit Dillard's Capri's. She posed innocently in her bedroom mirror. Everything had to be perfect.

Inuyasha hopped into his red corvette and drove towards the Higurashi mansion. His corvette crawled up the driveway towards the house. He waited for Kagome to come outside.

Kagome ran down the stairs, grabbed her brown Hollister jacket and headed toward the corvette. She comfortably sat down next to Inuyasha in the front seat next to him.

"Are you ready?" Inuyasha managed to say.

"Of course I am."

Inuyasha pulled out of the driveway, and sped down Beach Avenue.

The couple arrived at the restaurant at 8:05.

"I have a surprise for you," Inuyasha grabbed her hand and walked through the inside of the restaurant to a candle-lit dinner on the restaurant porch, 10 feet above the busy street.

"It is…..it is………." Kagome was practically speechless.

"I know you like it," Inuyasha insisted. "There is no person I would rather be with than you, Kagome," Inuyasha had put Kagome in a magical trance with his irresistible love spell. Inuyasha took her hand and warmed it with his. A warm sensation trickled down her spine like an electric current. The moment their fingers touched, she knew that this was true love, and only true love.

A waitress appeared at the corner of their dinner table.

"Hey, my name is Candy, and I will be serving you today," She took a curtsy and dug into her pocket for her pad.

"We would like spaghetti for two," Inuyasha motioned for the waitress to write it down. She scribbled furiously.

"Anything else?"

"That would be all, thanks."

'He seems so charming. So polite, so smart, so totally mine!'

The waitress disappeared around a corner of the building.

"So, tell me about yourself," Inuyasha seemed tense.

"I am in high school just like you, and I love to read and write, and I love cheerleading!" Kagome seemed very enthusiastic every time she communicated with him. It was something about him that made her want to keep on talking.

"Nice, very nice," Inuyasha looked away from her awkwardly and hid his face.

'Should I ask him what's wrong? Will he get mad? Is he bored of me?'

"Inuyasha, can I ask you something?" Her concern shown boldly.

"Yes you may," he mumbled from his tightly sealed lips.

"Why are you acting so weird?"

"What do you mean? I am not acting weird!" Inuyasha seemed awfully offended and gave up on his food.

'Oh, gosh, why did I do that?'

"I am really sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"Whatever…….." Inuyasha gave her a rude shrug and stared blankly behind Kagome. She turned around to see what he was looking at. A girl was sitting by herself at the table behind Kagome. Then, shock shot from Inuyasha's eyes as a guy appeared and sat at the girl's table. He crazily got out of his chair and slammed the chair to the ground. He stomped over to the girl's table and stared at her, his eyes burning into hers.

"So, you're cheating on me?! That's how it is going down?!" Inuyasha put his hand on his hips and tapped his foot impatiently.

"Well, hello?!? Who the heck is at your table?!" She pointed to Kagome, sitting helplessly at the table in full view.

"That is Kagome, my new girlfriend," He picked her up and pulled her into him, his hand on her waist.

"Wait, I am not your girlfriend! I just met you!" Kagome threw his hand to his side.

"Want to take this outside?" the guy said as he shoved Inuyasha.

The two boys immediately started the most violent fistfight the girls had ever observed.

The once innocent looking lonely girl became fierce and outraged. She plunged her fist straight for Kagome's eye. Wham! Kagome dropped to the floor in stinging pain. Blood dripped from her left eye and she pulled herself up to her feet. Running to the girl's room, tears streamed down her light complexion. She immediately called her mother to pick her up. She tried not to worry her mother, but she was so emotionally unstable that she couldn't hold back the tears. Sitting on the curb, she buried her head in her hands. Inuyasha came running towards her.

'Oh great,' She sighed.

"Are you okay?" He rapped his arms around her and held her close to his chest. She finally saw a side of him that she had never expected to see. Tears dripped from his cheek as he held Kagome close to his unseen heart. "I'm sorry."
