FD: here's the next installment. sorry that it's late. I've been having trouble figuring out things and there's been other things on my mind and then I had a problem with uploading the chapter. hope you all enjoy it. now go forth and read and review.
"speaking"
'thoughts'
FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head interjecting their thoughts into the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Fruits Basket or the movie from which this quote was taken.
Pairing: Kagome and Ayame. Quote is said by Kagome. There are few things mentioned that I did not explain, but if you know Inuyasha and Fruits Basket you know what happened. The Sohma's still have the curse, even though it's not mentioned at all in the present setting. Now go forth and read and review or Shigure will come and have you clean his home.
Whiplash
Kagome sighed as she pulled herself out of the well. 'All done.' She walked from the well house and into her own.
"I'm home!"
"Are you done?" came her mother's voice from the kitchen.
"Yes, everything is over. I'm home for good."
"That's great and just in time for you to start high school."
"Yes, great."
The next day Kagome made her way through the halls of her new school. As she rounded a corner and made her way to her classroom, she felt a curse. 'Hm, why is there a curse in this day and age.' She made her way into the classroom and saw what was cursed. During roll call, she learned that their names were, Hatori, Shigure and Ayame Sohma. She waited and when there was no one around she questioned them about the curse.
"Why do you three have a curse on you?
The three in question looked shocked. Then Hatori explained who they were and about the nature of the curse. In return, Kagome shared her story. From that day on, they became good friends, especially Ayame and Kagome.
Kagome shook herself out of her memory when she felt the familiar aura of Ayame.
"Afternoon, Kagome."
"Afternoon, Ayame. What took you so long?"
"I just had to make sure that Mine could take care of the shop by herself for a while."
"Ah," replied Kagome, trying not to sound dejected.
Ayame then slumped and put his head on the table looking at Kagome through the hair that covered his face.
"Kagome," he whined.
"Yes, Ayame?"
"What should I do about Yuki?"
"What's wrong with him?"
Before Ayame could answer, the waiter showed up to take their orders. After telling him what they wanted, Ayame turned to Kagome and answered.
"Nothing's really wrong; he just doesn't want to get along with me."
"You can't really blame him Ayame, not after what you did."
"I know, I know. I just want to make it up to him. But, he just won't respond to me."
Sighing Kagome responded, "Ayame, you tend to come on a little too strong. Try backing off a bit. Just don't be too aloof."
Ayame seemed to brighten up a bit and the smile that graced his face made Kagome think about just how handsome he was.
"Thank you, Kagome. I feel much better now…go out with me."
"What?"
"Go out on a date with me, Kagome."
Kagome just stared at him, not believing that just a short minute ago, he was depressed. 'You'd think I be used to this by now. He's still the same as he was in high school.'
"You know, your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash," said Kagome.
Ayame then proceeded to turn back into the dejected man he was before. Sighing Kagome decided to answer him.
"Ayame," she waited until he looked at her and she smiled, "I'd love to go out with you."
His face immediately changed and he reached across the table and kissed her. When he broke the kiss, he said to her, "You know, I've liked you since high school."
"Then why haven't you asked me out?"
"I didn't think you'd say yes."
"Oh, I would have, I've liked you since then as well."
They smile at each other and continued to talk about nothing and everything.
The End
FD: well there you have it. The quote was: "You know, your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash." said by Bella Swan in Twilight. Hopefully the next story will be out soon. I have too many ideas for the next one going on in my mind. Anywho, review please.
