Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha or anything related to the anime. And I don't own the song used in this chapter.
You guys have been very great so far. You've read, reviewed, given me ideas and compliments and advice. I greatly appreciate it and, without you, this story would never have gotten anywhere and neither would I. I would really like to thank you all and please keep it up! You can even email me if you want!
Note: I like Koga a lot, but I just figured that I needed him to be bad as well so Kagome wouldn't fall for him after she and Inuyasha fell in love.
Well, no more delays, here it is!
Enjoy and have a lot of laughs.

15- Kagome's date with Inuyasha
Kagome took a step back, shrugging her shoulders out of Koga's grasp. Koga, however, continued to grin at her. "What's the matter, Kagome?" He asked nonchalantly.
Kagome simply glared at him and turned to walk away from him. He, obviously, didn't like the fact that she was trying to pull a prima donna on him because he had swiftly jumped in front of her and demanded, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Home." Kagome answered shortly, trying to go around him. He, however, stepped in front of her. She tried to go around him the other way, but he continued to block her path. She sighed in irritation and backed up a step, "What do you want?" She cried heatedly.
"What's the matter?" He asked coolly, "Is the little slut getting annoyed?"
Kagome's eyes widened. Slut? Did he just call her a slut? Kagome was many things-like temper-mental, nice, and shy-but she was not, by any means, a slut. And she was, most certainly, going to make this clear by any means necessary. She used violence. And you'd think that she would have learned by now that violence does not work-especially dealing with Koga.
But she did it anyway. She slapped him. Again. Like she had done before in the past.
The sound form the impact was stentorian. Even Koga was shocked from the sound.
"Don't you ever," Kagome shrieked, "call me a slut again, do you hear me? Especially to my face! Don't you ever mess with Inuyasha or Miroku, got it? 'Cause there is no guarantee that I'll be there to stop them from beating the-"
The words were flying from her mouth, but she had no idea where they were coming from. But she never got to finish her little 'don't-mess-with-my-friends' speech, however, because Koga reached out and had her by the hair in a flash, angry from being humiliated by her.
Kagome screamed as soon as his large, strong hands came in contact with her body, "Let go!" It was almost instinct, how she had screamed. She was terrified of him, but she still had the guts to talk trash to his face…only to get hurt for it a minute or so later…
"You know what?" Koga snarled in her face, his breath tickling her cheek, "I am really getting sick of you telling me what to do. And seriously, Inuyasha or Miroku can't kick my ass. I've kicking theirs for the past few weeks. And now…" He paused, relishing what he was about to say with satisfaction, "It's your turn."
Kagome started to wriggle, desperately trying to escape so she wouldn't be harmed. Unfortunately, his grip was like iron and it was almost as if it was welded to her arm, preventing her from getting away from him. Keeping him from letting go of her. "Let go!" She yelled, trying to pull her hair free. She was tender-headed, however, and it hurt to try to jerk it.
"I don't know if I should beat your face in or if I should invite Hiten and the others out here to help. I know that they'd like to." Koga said, smirking at her cruelly. "After all the stuff you and Inuyasha and Miroku have done so far."
Kagome stomped on his foot, causing that iron grip of his to melt away. He released her and she took of running toward her house only to have him grab her again by the shirt collar.
Kagome felt herself being jerked backward toward him, but she tried walking forward, causing the shirt to tug tighter against her throat. She coughed and tried to pry her way out of his grip. But, she soon realized, that the only way to escape was to pull her shirt off and she definitely did not want to go through that.
She jerked one more time and she heard a small ripping sound. He had just stretched her shirt! What a jerk. "Let go of me right now!" She cried, turning around and looking him directly into his piercing blue eyes.
"Kagome," He said sternly, "Why did you have to go and cheat on me like that?"
"Huh?" Kagome stopped pulling instantly and her shirt slacked up.
"You know, when you were with Inuyasha in the backseat of Miroku's car?" Koga's voice was still arrogant and he thought he had all the facts straight when, in fact, he did not.
"I didn't cheat on you," Kagome answered truthfully, "There was a fight and I almost got my face beat in and they saved me and-"
"Oh, wow." Koga said, "They could have dropped you off somewhere other than your house."
"They were being nice!" Kagome cried.
"Because you are dating them!" Koga shot back just as acrimoniously.
Kagome shook her head. It took a lot of guts, but she did it anyway, "I was not. I hated them, but they were just trying to get me to like them. I liked you, but-" She paused, sighed and stepped up to him, "I sure as hell don't now!" She then kneed him in the sensitive spot. He let go instantly and she ran up to her porch and inside, slamming and locking the door behind her. She let out a sigh of relief when she glanced outside and saw he was gone.
He'd be back, of course. She knew that. Koga was not the type to stop, especially when he wanted to murder someone.
All over a false accusation.
"Sis? Are you ok?"
Kagome looked down and saw Sota. He was looking up at her inquisitively with his big brown eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome said. It was only a half-truth. She felt pretty good about having a date, a date of that she sort of liked. But, the Koga part? Not so good. He was going to get arrested, one day, she was almost sure. "Where's gramps and mom?"
"Oh, we ran out of Ramen cause grandpa ate it all. They went to get some more. And mom said that they might have to go visit her brother again. He's sick, remember?" Sota replied.
Kagome simply nodded and headed back toward her room. Not even attempting to change into different clothes, she plopped down onto the soft, cotton covers and curled up…
…Where about an hour later, she awoke. It was dark outside and her mom and grandpa had gotten home where supper was being served. Her mom must have decided not to disturb her, so she let her sleep. Kagome yawned as she got up and grabbed the phone extension that was now in her room-her mom had installed one just recently-and called Sango.
"Hello?" Sango answered after four rings.
"Sango, it's me." Kagome said.
"Oh, hey! What's up?"
"Nothing really. Inuyasha just asked me to go on a date with him tomorrow. Anything happen with you?"
"Really?" Sango cried, "A date? Whoa. And, yeah, Miroku asked me if I'd like to go to the movies with him tomorrow and go to the dance with him."
"Congrats…" Kagome murmured with a slight hint of envy in her voice. That was certainly impressive compared to what Inuyasha had asked her. But, she figured, he's trying, at least. "I still don't know where we're going to go yet."
"What? He asks you on a date and you don't even know where you're going?" Sango demanded heatedly. "What gives?"
"He said it didn't matter where we went, so basically, it's up to me." Kagome replied, a little defensively. Why should Sango fly off the handle about Inuyasha? Well, Kagome had had a trying day was still famished even though she had already slept for about an hour and it was already dark out and maybe Sango wasn't really going crazy. Maybe Kagome was just so tried, she thought she was…
"Oh. Well, I hope you have fun." Sango said truthfully, "And be careful. Remember to be on the look-out for Koga and his goons."
Kagome stifled a laugh. Sango, of course, was oblivious of the fact that Koga had attacked her twice that day. But, instead of telling her-it really wasn't that big of a deal-she said, "Ok, I will. Talk to you tomorrow."
"All right," Sango said, "Bye."
Kagome hung up and sighed. She glanced out of her window and noticed Inuyasha's house and, since they both had a view of each other's rooms, she saw him. He had, obviously, been on the phone as well and he noticed her looking at him and he waved.
She waved back and, even though he looked a little small due to how far apart they were from one another, she noticed him smiling. Suddenly, he dropped his hand and turned toward the direction of the stairs and started yelling. It must've been Sesshomaru hollering up at him. Inuyasha disappeared momentarily and then Kagome's phone rang, causing her to jump back almost a foot.
She rolled her eyes at her own skittishness and picked it up, "Hello?"
"I caught you staring at me, you peeping tom." Inuyasha said jokingly, "You know, if I hadn't noticed you there and was getting undressed, you could get in trouble."
Kagome giggled, "Well, hello to you, too!"
"What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing much. I'm just waiting for tomorrow to get here." Kagome admitted.
"Oh, you can't wait to spend time with me, I see." Inuyasha said, being sarcastic in a funny way. "Well, I can't wait to go out on a date with you, either."
Inuyasha was looking at her from his room. He had walked up closer to his window and was smirking at her. Kagome just smiled back.
It's funny, she thought, ever since he claimed that he wanted to date me, I swore to myself that I hated him. But now, he's not such a bad guy and he really does seem sincere.
she thought,"So, have you decided where you wanna go tomorrow?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome placed a hand on her chin thoughtfully, "Hmm. Yep, how about…we go to the skating rink?"
And, that's exactly where they planned on going, too. But, now, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Kagome had just finished getting ready and Inuyasha had already called her and told her to take her time and that he'd come by and pick her up. When he said he'd 'pick her up,' she thought he meant that he would swing by her house and they'd walk there together. But, that was so not the case.
Inuyasha had called her and said, "I'm coming over there, meet me outside, ok?"
"Sure." She had replied, "Hurry."
After she hung up the phone and glanced in the mirror to make sure she didn't look like The Wicked Witch of the north, she opened the front door and stepped outside. She locked the door behind her and looked up and gasped. Inuyasha was there, no doubt, but he was in a car.
His car.
A Mustang. It was Kagome's favorite care and she remembered that he told her that he had a car but because of Sesshomaru, it was in the shop for repairs. She ran out to the car and hopped in, "Hey!" She cried, "I love your car!"
Inuyasha smirked, "Thanks. I told you I had one. Where are your parents?"
"They had to go visit my uncle. I told them I didn't want to come and they told me, "'No getting suspended this time, young lady!'" Kagome said, rolling her eyes. She would not get suspended that day because it was Sunday. But, she had no idea when they'd be back and there was a possible chance of her getting suspended the next day.
But she doubted it.
They drove off and arrived at the rink a while later. They rented skates and got out onto the wooden skating floor. Kagome, unfortunately, had not skated in a long time and was quite rusty. She stumbled and slid across the floor for a while. Inuyasha even had to catch her when she had lost her balance and almost fell over.
She smiled nervously and said, "Thanks."
"No problem." Inuyasha replied. He took her hand in his and began to skate slowly, everyone else going around them. "Just go slow. Balance and try not to go to fast just yet. If you do, you'll get your legs tangled into a pretzel."
Kagome laughed and skated at his pace, doing a fairly good job at it until their legs intertwined and they both fell in a heap on the floor. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Kagome quickly apologized, trying to get up, but only succeeding in sliding back and forth.
"It's okay," Inuyasha said, getting up casually and helping Kagome steady herself. "Relax."
"Ok, now, everyone," Announced someone up where the music was supposed to be played, "Girls' skate only."
Inuyasha shrugged and headed back toward the carpeted area where drinks and food were being sold. You could also buy bracelet, light-up necklaces, and, of all things, Whoopee cushions. Kagome, not wanting to be alone, went up to him and said, "Hey, I don't want to skate this time, let's get some food."
They got some food and ate while the girls skated, then the guys. They were just talking about the dance that was coming up in a week. Suddenly, Inuyasha was about to ask her something when the person in charge of the music said, "Couple skate! The last skate of the night."
Inuyasha extended his hand and Kagome took it and they skated out to the floor and skated around, the music from the speakers was pulsating throughout the whole building.
'Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked softly, "Were you going to ask me something back there at the tables?" She desperately wanted to know.
"Uh…yeah…" He replied nervously.
'I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you'
"I was going to ask you if…" He paused when a guy breezed by him with his girlfriend. They were holding hands. "I was going to ask you if you'd go to the dance with me."
'After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all'
Kagome felt her heart rate speed up. He had just asked her to the dance! Just like Miroku had asked Sango, and she'd accepted! Kagome sort of smirked, thinking of how she'd rub that in Kikyo's face since the girl liked him and all. "Sure, I'll go with you. I'd love to."
"Really?" He asked, sounding almost shocked about her saying yes. It was as if he had thought she would say no or something.
"Of course." Kagome answered. He smiled down at her and they skated until the song ended and then they drove back to her house. They just sat in the car for a few minutes, neither of them wanting to leave each other's company. "I really enjoyed today," Kagome said, looking at the sunset. "It's sad that you're suspended form school tomorrow."
"Yeah," Inuyasha said, "But I'll come back Wednesday. And I'm glad you had fun."
"Thanks for taking me." Kagome said softly.
"You're welcome." Inuyasha replied. He looked at her and leaned forward a little. Kagome instinctively went in as well. "Maybe we could do it again sometime." He said, cupping her face in his hands.
And that's when he kissed her.
On the lips.
