4- The date

"I can't believe that you are going on a date with Koga!" Sango shouted through the phone. She yelled so loud that Kagome had a pull the phone a few inches away from her ear until her friend calmed down a bit. "I mean, after everything that's happened with you and Inuyasha on Thursday, you are going on a date with Koga today?!" She continued on like a teacher, lecturing her students for not behaving.

"Oh, come on, Sango," Kagome said softly, "I mean, the guy isn't anything like Inuyasha."

"So?" Sango demanded, "Kagome, Inuyasha scared you. And right after that, you accept a date after refusing to go with Inuyasha? Kagome, I am worried. He could turn out to be like Inuyasha. He's asked a lot of girls out, too, you know. And after a few months, he dumped them."

"But--"

"No! He might do the same thing to you and I do not want that to happen to my best friend." Sango murmured gently.

"But, you don't know him," Kagome replied, "He is nice and offered to get me ice cream on Thursday. But I told him that I couldn't and then he said 'How about Saturday?' That's why, I am sitting here, yelling at you, and trying to get ready!"

Sango sighed in irritation on the other line, "I know that you may think that he is nice, but--"

"No," Kagome persisted, "I know he is nice."

"And, like I said, he might be putting on an act just like Inuyasha was. You better be careful," Sango warned her.

"I will be. I always am." Kagome informed her concerned friend. She heard Sango snort on the other end, "Right. Like you were at my house on Thursday? Nice protecting yourself by the way."

Kagome fumed, "Well, I did the best I could while you and Rin stood by and watched the show! All you did was yell at them."

"Well," Sango mumbled, "At least it got them out."

"Yeah," Kagome was very angry, "After Inuyasha tortured me."

"Obviously you were enjoying it because you weren't doing too much in self-defense." Sango retorted.

"I was, too!" Kagome protested, "You were just too busy looking at Miroku to even notice!"

"I resent that." Sango answered shortly.

"Well, you know what?" Kagome yelled, "I don't! I think that you actually like Miroku! You are always so upset about who I go on a date with, you really need to shut up! You're just jealous." And after those words, Kagome hung up.

She looked at herself in her mirror on her vanity where she had been sitting the whole time. Her eyes, those chocolate eyes, held nothing but irritation and anger. She ran a brush carelessly through her long raven colored hair and put a necklace on. It was a necklace that her father had given to her for her birthday. It was the only thing--other than memories--she had to remember him by.

Looking at her watch, she sighed and realized that she had ten minutes until she had to meet Koga at her front door.

Then, a wave of guilt washed over her. How could she have been so cruel? Sango was her best friend and she was just concerned about her feelings. She grabbed her phone and dialed Sango's number. She got an answering machine. It said, in Sango's happy voice, "Hi, you've reached Sango and I'm not in right now, so leave a message and I'll call ya back!"

Kagome inhaled sharply, but left no reply on the machine and hung up. She had to talk to Sango, face-to-face. Maybe then it would be easier to express her feelings.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang sharply, causing Kagome to jump. She stood up and went downstairs--no one else was home--and answered it. It was Koga, of course. He smiled brightly at her, "Hi," He said.

"Hey," She replied sullenly. He looked at her with concern, "Are you all right? I mean, you seem kinda down in the dumps."

She nodded and forced a meek smile, "I'm fine!" She said, hoping that her fake cheerful voice would cover her sad tone. It did, and he took her hand and they walked off together toward the movies.

"Sango can be mean when she wants to be, can't she?" Miroku asked Inuyasha as he slurped his drink that they had gotten from the McDonalds in the mall.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said shortly as he just gazed around at the people who were walking around, laughing and joking and shopping. "That could be me and Kagome right now," he mumbled, "She actually turned me down! And resisted me!"

Miroku shrugged, "You know what they say," He replied, "There's always a first time for everything."

"I know. I just wanted to see if she would cry when I broke up with her. It's fun." Inuyasha said, drinking his drink.

"Well, it looks like you won't be able to do that now. She ain't never goin' out with you." Miroku said, laughing.
"Man, will you just shut up! You don't have to rub it in, you know." Inuyasha yelled, getting up and throwing his trash away, Miroku following after.

They walked out into the crowd, avoiding people who were walking in the opposite direction. They didn't say anything, not until Miroku pointed into a nearby music store where all the Cds were stored on racks from the floor to the ceiling and said, "There's your lady love right now. And it looks like she chose someone else."

Inuyasha just grinned in a creepy way and walked over to where Koga and Kagome stood, listening to Cds. He popped his knuckles and grabbed Kagome's wrist.

She gasped and started to jerk away, but he was too strong for her. "Let go of me!" She squealed.

Koga instantly got involved and shoved Inuyasha off of Kagome, breaking her free. She held the spot where Inuyasha had held on to so tight…it was hurting now.

"Can't you just leave me alone for a while?!" She demanded angrily. Why did he always have to antagonize her? It wasn't fair at all. "Look, I don't want to go out with you, ok? I already explained that a million times. Now, it is time for you to get a clue and go somewhere and get a life."

Inuyasha just smirked one of those grins, you know, you've seen the movies where the guy smiles seductively at the girl? Well, if you haven't, then you have no clue what expression he had on his face. It caused Kagome to shudder.

"No," He said, "I want to go out with you. I've told you that. Please, give me a chance."

She shook her head, "No."

"Why are you so quick to judge me?" He wanted to know.

"Because," She answered, "I've heard about you, asking girls out then dumping them a few days later."

"So?" He asked, "Why judge me by what I've done in the past without giving me a chance?"

She opened her mouth to snap an answer back, but had none.

Then, Koga said, "Look, why don't you just leave her alone? She's told you that a bunch of times and anyone with half a brain would get the clue by now. So, just turn around a leave."

Inuyasha continued to eye Kagome as she stood there, gaping at how he had left her with an unanswerable question. Why hadn't she given him a chance just because of a bunch of rumors? It wasn't anymore fair to him than it was to her when he wouldn't leave her alone. How could she be this way? So…selfish and worried.

Sango was worried and what had happened to her? She had gotten yelled at by Kagome.

Kagome, with each passing moment, was beginning to feel even more sorry for not only herself, but for Sango, Rin, and even…Inuyasha.

"Look, just leave me alone!" She yelled, turning and running out of the store, Koga right behind her. "Kagome!" He cried, grabbing her shoulder. She turned around and he saw the tears fall.

"Please…" She murmured, "I want to go home now…I have…a lot of things to…sort out…"

He nodded, proving that he knew what she meant and he took her outside and to her house.

When he dropped her off, she said, "I'm sorry…I mean, I know it was supposed to be a wonderful date and all, but…Inuyasha just…well…you know…"

Koga gripped the bottom of her chin and brought her face up to look at his, "It's all right. I understand." He went down a little and planted a small kiss on her lips. It was just a small peck, but afterward, he turned and left.

She went inside as well. No one was home yet. Sota, her brother, had soccer practice, her mom was at work, and her grandpa was God knew where.

She plopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She had had an eventful day.

Well, eventful might have been the understatement of the year. She sighed and sat up, deciding to give Sango a call. When she dialed the number and it rung four times, she got the answering machine. This time, she left a message:

"Hey, Sango, It's me Kagome. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and that…I am having problems right now…Inuyasha asked me a question today. A question that I couldn't answer. And now, I am wondering about that question. Why didn't I give Inuyasha a chance?"
