Kagome sighed as she finished up her meal, she didn't know what to say to this man. She was going to let him court him, but Kagome didn't think it would do much good.

She always ended up on her own again.

It seemed that it always ended up tup that way, either because she made it happen or others weren't comfortable around her. They thought she knew too much...knew things she shouldn't.

It was somewhat true.

Kagome had been through a lot, it was to be expected she knew things...saw things others didn't.

This wasn't her fault.

She did her duty on protecting the Shikon No Tama...fighting Naraku...she completed her task.

It was over.

Though, for some reason Kagome couldn't help but feel used up. Like she didn't get much for what she did.

She gave up a lot...and she would never get some of it back.

"Kagome?" Blinking she looked at Charlie who was looking at her with concern, "Are you alright?"

She smiled, she wasn't going to bother him with her thoughts. Her past. If...and she meant if she got close enough to him then she would tell him these thoughts. It was too soon though.

"I'm fine...just thinking. Nothing to worry about." Kagome waved it off, smile on her face. She didn't want him to worry. It wasn't his job to. He may be courting her, but he had a lot to learn about her.

Charlie frowned but said nothing. He knew she was lying, but he wasn't going to say anything. If she wanted to tell him she would.

That and they were still somewhat strangers, he would have to get her trust before she really talked to him.

"How about a date." Charlie blurted out making Kagome jerk her head to look him in the eyes. He grinned at her bewildered look on her face.

"Pardon?" Kagome blinked as she looked at the grinning man sitting across from her.

"A Date." Charlie said again a small smile on his face, "Let me take you out on a real date. One where i pick you up, take you to dinner...and maybe dancing ...something like that?"

Kagome tilted her head to the side, this wasn't what she expected. She didn't have to work early...so it wouldn't hurt. That and she loved dancing.

"...alright..." She was still unsure how to deal with the man in front of her. He seemed so random at times, but he was also so sure of himself. It wasn't an arrogant, he is so sure of himself, but one that doesn't tolerated certain things.

"Great!" Charlie's smile brightened making a small blush appear on Kagome's cheeks, "What did you want to do...or I can surprise you? Or did the normal dinner, dancing and a walk sound good?"

Kagome could tell he was excited making her sigh, "...How about you surprise me...nothing too fancy though...simple is always best."

Charlie nodded, Kagome could already see the ideas forming in his brain. Kagome didn't know if that was a good thing as of yet.

She hoped it was good...she really didn't want to deal with a disaster date.

Kagome had enough of those happen in a lifetime to have anymore.

"Then I shall pick you up at your place around Seven in the evening...does this sound good to you."

Kagome nodded, it was a reasonable time. Though Kagome had to wonder if this date was such a good idea.

She didn't want to say no though, his eyes had such a pleading look in them before...she couldn't have brought herself to say no.

'I guess we will see how the date goes.' Kagome thought as she saw Charlie hold up his hand and wave a waiter over and ask for the check, 'I just hope the date isn't a disaster...all I can do is hope...'

Yuki Note: Sorry It took so long to get this out! I hope everyone enjoys it!
