And here is the next revised chapter. Hope you all like it better than the last time it was up here. Take care everyone!
"Kagome, we're home!"
"I'm in the kitchen!"
Kagome looked up from the sandwich she was eating to see her mom walk into the kitchen and set a few grocery bags down on one of the kitchen counters. Kagome put her sandwich down and quickly got up to help her mother put some of the groceries away.
"You did a lovely job on the flowers, Kagome. Even Mr. Myoga next door was impressed with it."
"Myoga? Oh, the old man next door."
"Yes. Did you know that his grandson comes by every summer to help him around the house? He seems like a nice young man."
"Yea, he does seem pretty cool. His name's Inuyasha Takahashi."
"Oh, you've met him?"
"Yep. He came over to help me start up the lawn mower. I was having trouble starting it up when I went to do the front yard," Kagome said with a sheepish smile.
"Well, that was nice of him. But, Myoga wants to know if you'd be able to plant some of his flowers that he got today for him."
"Sure, I have no problem with that. Can I do it tomorrow, though?"
"Of course. I already told him that you would do it tomorrow. You've done enough work today, dear. Take a break."
"Thanks, mom."
Once the last of the groceries were put away, Kagome grabbed her sandwich and walked upstairs to go to her bedroom. Once inside, she turned on her computer. As she waited for her computer to start up, she opened her window to let in the comfortable, night summer breeze flow into her bedroom. Once her computer was fully loaded up, she opened up her Media Player and played her one of her play lists with, well, most of her favorite songs on it. Kagome started humming along with the music as she started to IM her friends. After an hour of chatting with some of her friends, Kagome got up out of her computer chair and stretched her arms over her head. She could only talk to her friends online for so much. She looked over at her drawing table and decided to draw something before going to bed. During the summer was when she did most of her drawings, considering she never really had to wake up and an ungodly hour just to go to school. She turned on her desk lamp and closed her eyes as she waited for the right image to come into her head for her to sketch down. Once she was happy with her choice, she immediately started sketching out.
Inuyasha slowly trudged up the stairs. He was beyond exhausted after all the work that he had to do today. He just wanted to pull out his guitar and practice a few songs. There was one song that he made, but still didn't put any lyrics with it. He couldn't think of anything for it. It was the first slow song that he had ever made and, yet, no words came to him. He closed the door behind him as he entered his bedroom and walked over to his bookshelf to grab his folder with his music sheets in it. Grabbing his guitar, he opened up his window as he sat down on his bed, his music sheets on the stand that was still sitting next to his bed. As his fingers went over the strings, ready to play, a faint noise caused him to stop before he even started. It was a soft voice, almost angelic, made its way into his sensitive ears. He turned around and looked out his window. A small smile formed on his face when he saw his next door neighbor; Kagome Higurashi, sitting on her window sill drawing something and singing softly. He was almost grateful that she wasn't like most typical high school girls that would be 'dancing' around their room, singing into their hairbrushes. (A/N: Girls, we all know that we've been guilty of doing something remotely close to this before at least one time in our lives...don't lie. Because I'll admit it...I used to do that an awful lot when I was younger...lol. Well, minus the whole singing into the brush thing...)
'Maybe...she's not so bad. Kagome Higurashi. The name suits her.'
Kagome let out a groan of frustration. She had the perfect picture that she wanted to draw, but she was having the hardest time getting it down on paper. And her music selection on her playlist wasn't really helping her all that much at the moment. Turning back to her computer, she changed some of the songs on her computer, hoping that those songs would help her concentrate better. Happy with the new songs that she had selected, she moved back to her new spot sitting on the window sill and picked up her sketchbook. She was about to sit down when something caught her attention. She timidly looked over to her right to see Inuyasha looking over at her from his bedroom window, guitar in his hands. She could feel a small blush creep up on her face. She quickly looked down at her sketch book as she went back to her drawing. After drawing a few strokes, she stopped and glanced over at him to see him smiling at her softly. Kagome couldn't hide the small blush forming on her face as she smiled sweetly back at him.
'I wonder what his music sounds like. Guess I'll have to wait until Saturday to find out. Just three more days.'
Kagome let out a groan of disapproval as the late morning sun hit her face. She slowly opened her eyes and looked over at her alarm clock, but it was blocked by a small piece of paper with a note written on it. Kagome slowly sat up and reached over and picked it up.
Kagome:
Don't forget about Myoga. You said
that you would plant his flowers
today for him.
Also, Souta's at Max's for the week,
so you don't have to worry about him.
I'll see you when I get home from work.
Love mom.
"Does this require me to get up now?" Kagome asked herself as she let out a groan.
A/N: And here is the new updated version. Hope you all like it better than it was last time! I also want to apologize. I'm honestly trying to get these posted as soon as possible, but it's kind of hard because the only internet access that I mainly have right now is using the computers at my school. So, I'll try and get these posted more quickly, especially since I'm going to be going home to visit my family soon and my mom has internet on her computer. : two thumbs up: YEA! So, take care everyone and have a Happy Holiday!
