Chapter 8: First Date
Later that night, Kagome and Inuyasha got dressed for the club. Kagome in a green tank top, and jeans down to her knees. Inuyasha is in a red polo and blue jeans. "Are you sure you want to go through this, Kagome?" Inuyasha asks. Kagome puts on her sandals. "The thing is that I don't want to disappoint any of my friends. I just feel guilty for doing it." Inuyasha comes to her, "I'll be right behind you when you're with Sango." Inuyasha assures her. All Kagome could do was smile. Sango comes into the driveway. "There's My Ride." Kagome said as she heads to Sango. "Hey, I see you're ready Kagome." Sango said to her while Kagome gets in the back while Miroku was in the front. "Yeah I'm ready." Kagome lied to her. 'What have I put myself into?' she thought as she looks out the window. They arrive at the club. It wasn't pack as it was the last time they were there. They got their drinks and sat at a table. Inuyasha gets into the bar and sees them. "Hey there guys." He waves to the girls. "Inuyasha, what happened to you?" Miroku asks. "I've been busy lately, and I've found out that I've lost my phone. I have to get a new one." Inuyasha responses as he sits by Kagome. "Hey there mutt face, where have you been?" Koga asks as he and Ayame come to the group. "I've been out mangy wolf." Kagome didn't pay attention at all. Inuyasha turns to her. "Kagome, are you okay? You seem lost in thought." Kagome shakes her head getting out to reality. "I'm just thinking that's all." She said. Inuyasha takes her hand. Kagome follows him to the corner of the room. "What was it that you were thinking?" He asks. Kagome responses, "It was this dream last night. It was about a silver haired boy who has been cursed and the only to lift it is to love him for who he is, as a dog, a human, and a half demon." Inuyasha feeling sorry for what he did, he has to make sure she'll understand. A slow song begins to play, "Let's go dance." Kagome said as she and Inuyasha head to the dance floor.
There are other couples dancing along to the slow song, Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply. Kagome wraps her hands around Inuyasha's neck, while he wraps his clawed hands around her waist. "Kagome, there's something I want to tell you." He said. "What is it?" she asks looking into his golden eyes. "I'm the dog you have been taking care of. I'm the one who has been cursed." Kagome eyes begin to water. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Inuyasha embraces her. "I just want to let you know that you're the only girl I know who really takes care of me when I'm a dog. And I'm grateful for that." Kagome understands now. The dog she was keeping was the real Inuyasha. The one who has been missing for two days. "I don't know what to say. I never knew you were the one who was missing for two days." Inuyasha looks deeply into her brown eyes with so much passion, moving a strain of hair behind her ear. They became in a trace, until the lights go out.
