11- "I love her"

Kagome awoke the next morning from the horrible screeching and ringing from her alarm on her nightstand next to her bed. She cut it off and sat up, dizzily recalling the events of the night before. She had met Inuyasha at the park, they had talked, rode the carousel, and ate at McDonalds. She had had a great time, too, even though she did not know why. Did she have fun because Inuyasha was with her? Or was it because she hadn't rode a carousel in a very long time? It was as if he had known that she hadn't rode one in a long time and he wanted to help re-freshen the thrill.

She sighed as she got up and took her clothes off and got in the shower. When she was finished, she put clean clothes on and she went downstairs and got something to eat. She flipped on the television and watched MTV for a while. It felt weird staying home on a school day.

She had just finished eating when the phone rang. She reached over and picked it up and placed it up to her ear, "Hello?"

"Hey, Kagome." Inuyasha replied.

"Oh, hey." For some reason, she smiled after she heard his voice, "What's up?"

"Nothin' much. You wanna go to the mall or somethin'?" He asked.

"Sure. Where do you want me to meet you?" Kagome went up to her room, the cordless phone in her hand.

"Your house." Inuyasha answered, "I'll pick you up. If that's all right with you."

Kagome stared at her reflection in her mirror on her vanity. All right with her? Of course it was. But, why was it suddenly all right? Before, she would avoid him, but it seemed like that, lately, she wanted to be with him. "Yeah, that'll be fine."

"Ok, I'll be there in five minutes." He replied, "See you then."

"Yeah, bye." Kagome hit the 'off' button and put the phone back on charge downstairs. She ran back up to her room and ran a brush carelessly through her raven black hair.

She, in a strange way, really did want to go out again. She wanted to have fun like she had the night before. But she was confused; did she want to be with Inuyasha or did she just want to go out to town? Which did she want more? Which was the reason she decided to go with him?

She sighed as she stood up and put on her jacket. She went downstairs and pushed the drapes out of the way and peered out the window--the one that faced Inuyasha's house. She saw him coming out of his front door and locking it before walking across the street and down the sidewalk. She let the drapes fall back into place before heading out the door and locking it. "Hey," Inuyasha said as he jogged up, his breath coming out in white tufts.

"Hey. So, where are we going to?" Kagome asked as they walked down her sidewalk and along the street.

"How about the movies? You can pick." Inuyasha answered. After realizing how he felt about her the night before in his room, he suddenly decided to be generous. "I heard that there were some great comedies out."

"Yeah," Kagome replied softly, rubbing her hands together to warm them, "If you don't mind, I want to see 50 First Dates." (A/N: That is a great movie. I saw it the day after Valentines day with my boyfriend. But we have since broken up.)

"Oh, I don't mind. I heard from Miroku that it was funny as hell." Inuyasha informed her.

"Um…where is Miroku? I mean, he's suspended, too." Kagome suddenly found herself asking. She was just curious considering that Inuyasha told her the night before that Miroku liked Sango. He had asked her out and Sango still hadn't decided.

"He's at home. His ribs were killin' him, so he decided to rest for a while." Inuyasha told her as they crossed an intersection and saw the theaters looming ahead. The letters were huge, saying: 'Cinema Complex' Then, under that, a list of the movies were there including 50 First dates. Along with others such as Bruce Almighty and The Punisher. (A/N: I have seen Bruce Almighty as well. It is funny. But I haven't seen the Punisher and I really would like to see it.)

They walked inside and bought their ticket for the eleven o'clock time and they went into the movie room. There was only a few other people there since it was a school day, Inuyasha and Kagome got weird glances from the five people in the room. The two ignored the looks and went down to first row. No one else was there. The huge screen that was in front of them showed previews of other movies like The incredible Hulk.

They waited patiently for the movie to start, no words exchanged between them. Inuyasha jumped up and got popcorn and two Pepsis. He came back and they both munched on popcorn, drank Pepsi, and watched the movie.

"That was great." Kagome said as they walked out of the theaters and into the bright sunshine that temporarily blinded them. "Thanks for taking me."

Inuyasha smiled, flashing his pearly whites, "No problem. You wanna go to the mall?"

"Sure, I'd love to." Kagome answered as they walked down the sidewalk. Without thinking, Kagome asked, "Where's your car? Don't you have one?"

Inuyasha scowled, "Yeah, I had one, all right. But my stupid-ass brother, Sesshomaru wrecked it and now it's in the shop." He sighed, "It was a Mustang."

Kagome beamed. Mustangs were her favorite. "Really? That's my favorite car!"

He looked down, a little surprised that they had something in common, "It is? Well, it should be out of the shop sometime soon, so we can go driving in it." They crossed an intersection after waiting for all the cars to pass.

Kagome smiled as the drew nearer and nearer to the huge building. Not that many people were there since it was Friday. Which was just fine with them. The less, the better.

The sliding glass door opened and they went inside. Kagome sighed, thankful for the warmth. They headed to the movie section first, fingering through all kinds of movies; old time, comedy, action, adventure, romance. Inuyasha pulled out a few and showed them to her. "Have you seen this one?" He asked.

She nodded, then they talked about scenes from that movie and they laughed about it.

"Let's go over to the Cds." Inuyasha suggested. They both walked to the Cd section and thumbed through them. Kagome saw one that she had always wanted and said, "Oh, I found one. I don't know why, but I like her." She held up the Cd showing a girl on the front in a gray sweat-shirt. Her dark brown hair was streaked with fading light brown. Her name was Maria Mena. The title of the Cd was called: White turns Blue.

"How much is it?" Inuyasha asked. "And I'll get it for you."

"Oh, no, you don't have to buy it for me." Kagome said, "I'll get it another time."

"Are you sure?" He demanded, making sure.

"Positive." She replied. They left the Cds and headed toward the McDonalds. It was near noon by the time they had finished looking through the Cds and movies. Inuyasha bought fries for the two of them to share. "Are you thirsty?" Inuyasha wanted to know, "I'll get a milkshake."

"Yeah. Vanilla, please. Thank you." Kagome replied, smiling up at him.

He smiled right back, "You're welcome." Then, he went up to the counter and began to order.

Kagome watched him, a slight grin painted on her face. She was having a blast and did not want it to end. But it would eventually have to. Her mom had called and informed her that they would come back home on Saturday. They needed to pick some things up and then, they'd have to rush back to where Kagome's uncle was. Kagome didn't mind if they left, it was when they came back. She did not want them to find out she had been suspended and find out that she had gone out with a guy twice in two days.

"Well, what a coincidence," Sneered a male voice behind her. Kagome timidly and carefully turned around and found herself staring up at Koga. "What are you doing here?" He demanded coldly.

Kagome could not speak, nor could she believe. Here he was again, going to ruin her life. And his cold voice had once been warm and gentle, caring for her. Not anymore. "What are you doing here?" She demanded.

He continued to glare down at her, "I happen to hang out here when I get suspended."

"Oh." That was all Kagome could say. She started to wish Inuyasha hadn't gone to get anything to drink. But just as she was wishing this, he came up, "Hey, what do you want, Koga?"

Koga just gave him a glare and walked away.

"Did he hurt you or anything?" Inuyasha wanted to know as he sat the drinks down on the table and knelt beside her.

She shook her head, "No. But can we go somewhere else?"

He nodded, "Sure."

Inuyasha picked up the drinks and they left.

"The only places I know of to go to is my house, Miroku's, and yours." Inuyasha said softly as he and Kagome walked down the street. "So, where do you want to go?" He didn't ask her if she had had enough for one day because he did not want to be separated from her. He just wanted to be near her.

"Miroku's, I guess. Or do you want to go to your house?" Kagome, in a strange way, did not want to leave him. But she was actually kind of tired, but she forced herself to stay awake and go with him to one last place before heading home.

"No, Miroku's is fine." Inuyasha answered and they walked toward his house. Inuyasha pounded on the front door and waited for a moment while Miroku came down the stairs and opened it, peering out timidly, "Oh, hey." Miroku said as he opened the door all the way to let them in.

Kagome stared at the chandelier on the ceiling, it's little teardrops of glass reflecting light into a tiny rainbow. The wood beneath her feet was well polished and scuff-free. "Hey, Kagome." Miroku said, pulling her from her gaping.

"Hey. How are you doing?" She wanted to know, looking at him hunch over as if in pain.

"I'm fine. At least they're not broken." He replied, going into the living room. Inuyasha and Kagome followed after him and sat on the sofa. "You want anything to drink?" Miroku asked politely.

"Oh, no, we had milkshakes on the way here." Inuyasha informed his friend. Miroku sat down in a recliner as an uneasy silence passed between them. Kagome was getting even more tired as she sat on that comfortable couch, her eyes drooping. She had had a hard time sleeping the night before; it was too hot.

"Hey, Kagome, do you want to go home?" Inuyasha asked, concern etched in his voice.

"Oh, no." Kagome lied. Inuyasha, however, did not believe her, "No, come on. I'm taking you home right now."

Kagome sighed, but got up anyway and she and Inuyasha headed out the door, "I'll call you Miroku!" Inuyasha shouted through the door before closing it.

Inuyasha dropped Kagome off and told her bye and that he might see her again the next day. He then went to his house and picked up the phone and dialed Miroku's house. He picked up on the second ring, "Hey, Inuyasha." Miroku said, knowing it was him.

"Sorry we didn't stay long." Inuyasha apologized.

"It's all right. So, are you reeling her in?" Miroku was more concerned about being a player than he was about his friends.

"That's the problem." Inuyasha replied.

"What do ya mean? It looked like you had her caught to me." Miroku said.

"Oh, I think I have her, all right. But…" Inuyasha paused.

Miroku got impatient, "But…what?" He demanded. What was going on with Inuyasha now?

Inuyasha was reluctant to tell Miroku. Even thought he and Miroku were the best of friends. Miroku might have gotten mad. Or he might have said 'well, that's a problem, right there.' Inuyasha wasn't sure which, so he was actually afraid of what would happen to his friendship and his reputation as a player. He sighed and decided to go for it.

"I love her."
